House Puts End To Hells Canyon
Bill Unless Miracle Performed
Br A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The Hells Can
yon dam authorization bill came
to an ignominious end in the
House this
past week,
lest a miracle
be performed
to revive it,
because the
House Interior
Committee is
e s s e n t i ally
even more
conserva t i v e
than the House
a aobt smitb ltseii.
The bloc of liberal Democrats
that succeeded in putting the
bill through the Senate in June
has few political kinsmen on the
House Interior Committee. And
Hells Canyon divided liberals
from conservatives pretty sharp
ly because it had become a
major symbol for both sides of
the public vs. private ower
fight.
Consequently, opponents of
Hells Canyon bill found an
usier time mustering sufficient
otes to move in and try to kill
It off quickly.
On, the Republican side, there
Were no GOP liberals like those
in the Senate who bolted from
the party position to support the
Hells Canyon bill. The only
wavering Republican was Rep.
4. Edgar Chenoweth of Colorado,
vho voted for Hells Canyon last
ear in hopes it would improve
hances of his Fryingpan
Arkansas reclamation project
toeing enacted.
Project Seen Goner
Democrats are still working
i Chenoweth, it is said, in an
effort to swing him around once
more. They say if he doesn't
vote for Hells Canyon, his pet
project is a goner. But Cheno
weth reportedly had concluded
his bill is not going to pass any
way, so he may as well stick
with his party on Hells Canyon.
Chenoweth almost was defeated
last November, mostly because
of failure to Congress to pass his
Irrigation bill.
On the Democratic side, the
four southern Democrats split
evenly, two going with the
northerners and two siding with
the Republicans against Hells
Canyon. Rep. George Shuford of
North Carolina voted against the
bill last year, and it is said he
wouldn't change his vote for
anything in the world. Rep.
James A. Haley of Florida joined
Shuford this year to give the
GOP the votes they needed to
kill the bill. Haley, a cigar
smoking former manager of
Ringling Brothers circus, is a
conservative who registers his
greatest impact in being against
many measures sought by
westerners.
Speaker Sam Bayburn has re
portedly tried with all his au
thority and power to move these
two Democrats away from their
1 anti-Hells Canyon stand, with
out success. One observer noted
toe late that Shuford had spon
sored a bill to erect a fish hatch
ery in his district, and it was let
slide easily through Congress
before Hells Canyon came up
and before anyone realized it
might have been a bargaining
point on Hells Canyon.
Rarely Attends Meetings
remaps me most curious
position was that taken by Rep
Adam Clayton Powell, the New
Yorker who doubles as congress
man and preacher and is the
husband of pianist Hazel Scott.
Powell rarely attends meetings
of the Interior Committee, and
so on close votes he gives his
proxy to the side the favors. Re
pprtedly he gave several proxies
to backers of the Hells Canyon
bill, as he had last year.
But suddenly last week he
withdrew his proxies without
explanation. Democrats from
Harry Tniman to Eleanor Roose
velt are reported to have tried
to dissuade Powell from his re
treat. Not only did they fail, but
there is a report that Powell has
prepared a proxy for the oppon
ents of Hells Canyon, just in case
they need it.
Some contend that Powell's
defection has nothing to do with
the merits of Hells Canyon but
is linked to a noticeable friend
ship he has displayed during the
past year for the Eisenhower ad
ministration. He supported
Eisenhower instead of Stevenson
last November. And some say
this is linked to the fact that the
Internal Revenue Bureau is in
vestigating his tax returns.

Atomic 'Dud' Due
To Be Fired Friday
Las Vegas, Nev. HP The
Atomic Energy Commisison has
set Friday for the firing of the
atomic device which failed to go
o June 28 and was disarmed
by five scientists.
The shot,. called Diablo, didn't
go off because of a power fail
ure. The AEC said such an in
cident would never hapen again
because an alarm system to
warn of power failure would be
installed into the device.
AEC scientists said Sunday
that Diablo would be the
seventh shot in the summer test
series at the Nevada proving
ground. They said it will be an
other predawn shot scheduled to
be detonated at 4:40 a.m., atop
a . 500-foot steel tower.

By ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York OP) Wall Street
experts calculate that for every
dollar that you invest in a col
lege education,
you get back
$12.50.
That's a re
turn of 1,150
per cent which
market men
say is one of
the best invest
ments a person
can make.
Limer Waizer These figures
are deduced from an item in
Brevits, a publication of a group
of investment companies of the
Massachusetts Investors Trust.
On the average, a college
graduate can expect to make
about $100,000 more during his
lifetime than a person with only
a mgn scnool diploma, says
Brevits. This is a potential re
turn of $25,000 for each year
in college at a cost overall of
about $2,000.
Tuition Fees Listed
Brevits lists tuition fees for
10 representative colleges, show
ing an average increase in the
past 10 years of 69 per cent. The
increases vary between 70 and
100 per cent in a period when
subway fares in New York have
risen 200 per cent and the cost
of living has gone up a similar
amount all over.
In the period since the close
of 1956 to the present the Dow
Jones industrial and railroad
averages have risen more than
185 per cent.
That, of course, is the reason
for the article the idea that
educational costs will probably
rise again in the next decade
and the way to guard against
that rise is by investing in
stocks.
Brevits gives an example of
one of its funds, the Boston
Fund. It says that $100 a month
invested in that fund and rein
vestment of dividends over the
past 10 years would have
brough a total today of $21,439.
Suggests Building Fund
The article suggests building
of an educational fund with se
curities well larded with com
mon stocks, and notes "while
stock ' values on occasion have
run counter to the trend of liv
ing costs, they have, over the
long term, proved effective as
an inflation hedge."
Balance is stressed, too, and
the fund referred to includes
preferred stocks and bonds
which accounts for its rise being
less than that of the averages of
stocks alone.
The investments, of course,
are in securities that fluctuate
in value, Brevits points out,
"and because of this there can
b' no assurance that future re
sults will be the same as the
past."
In spite of limiting factors,
Brevits asserts, "this kind of
program has offered a good
measure of protection against
the increase in educational
costs."

Ike's Legislation
Faces Scrap Heap
Washington (IB Some of
President Eisenhower's pet leg
islation appeared destined today
to wind up on the scrap heap
as the -result of the long fight
expected over civil rights.
Congress ordinarily would be
shooting for adjournment about
the end of the month. But with
predictions the rights fight may
last through August, some, but
not much legislation will be
passed after that.
Congress has still to pass the
foreign aid bill but final approv
al may have to await the end
of the rights debate. The same
with two other appropriations
bills 'for defense and agricul
ture. The row over rights will drive
the last nail into the coffin of
fhe federal aid to school mea
sure, already considered a cas
ualty of the budget battle.
A bill to increase postal rates
was as good as posted in Con
gress' dead letter office. And
any chance for passage of bills
to broaden minimum wage cov
erage and provide Hawaiian
statehood, both unlikely pros
pects anyway at the beginning
of the years, went out the window.
