Resources Board fo
Hold Hearings on Dam
Portland W Oregon's Wa
ter Resources board decided on
Monday to schedule hearings on
applications of Idaho Power
company to build three low
head dams on the Snake river.
Robert Leedy, board examin
er, said the board also would
consider a request from Gov.
Robert D. Holmes to conduct a
full investigation of Snake river
problems. Leedy said that if
the board did make such a study
that application of Pacific
Northwest Power company to
build Mountain Sheep and Plea
sant Valley dams may be
handled.
Idaho Power has a federal
license for three low dams on
the Snake. It filed application
with the State Hydroelectric
commission but these were
transferred last year to the Wa
ter Resources board.
Attorneys for Idaho Power ar
gued at a hearing Monday that
a ruling by the Oregon Supreme
Court places the dam license
applications outside the juris
diction of the Water Resources
board.
Scientists Warn of
Care in Using X-Ray
Stanford, Calif. W Two
Iowa State college scientists to
day warned that the need for
care in the use of x-ray on wom
en is even greater than on men.
The warning came from Jan
ice Stadler and John W. Gowen
in a paper delivered before the
American Institute of Biologi
cal sciences. They reached their
conclusion on the dangers of
over-exposure to x-rays after
performing experiments on mice.
Their experiments showed
that mice showed progessive
body damage and a lower life
span the more radiation they re
ceived. Female mice under the
jsan conditions presented a
"paradox," they said.
Under relatively low dosages,
up to 80 Roentgens, the life span
of female mice "increases notic
eably." But exposures of much
higher Roentgens led to "pro
gressive reductions" in the life
span of females.

Don't Move Your Car .
Following Collision,
Police Chief Advises
Drivers whose cars are in
volved in an accident ' should
not move their vehicles out of
the intersection until directed
to do so by city police, said
Charles P. Champlin, chief of
police.
According to the chief, not
only will moving the cars make
it much harder for the police
to conduct an investigation but
drivers standing in the street
directing traffic are placing
themselves in a dangerous posi
tion. AGENT UNMUFFLED
Greenville, N.C. (IP) : A
muffler placed on a still by an
ingenious mooshiner failed this
week end to keep away federal
and county agents. They found a
special soundproof box over the
gasoline motor supplying water
for the still. The box apparent
ly was designed to muffle the
sound of the engine. Agents de
stroyed 17 mash boxes with a
capacity of 400 gallons each.

Soap Prices To Rise
20-30 Cents A Case
Price increases on Proctor and
Gamble soaps, effective immedi-
tately, and on other brands in
the near future, will affect re
tail prices in the next week or
so, it was reported today.
Charles Baucom, of the Inde
pendent Orocers association in
Southern Oregon, said the P and
G soaps have gone up 20 to 30
cents per case for all packaged
and bar soaps.' He, said this will
result in an approximate raise
of 6 cents for a "giant" box of
soap, with equivalent amounts
for other packages. The price
increase will reach the retail
level within the next few weeks
when present stocks are deplet
ed, Baucom said.
