ious'' about the project, and
the economic impact it would
have on the valley.

Neuberger Says
Nez Perce Ruling
May Hurt Future
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Springfield, 111. (IP)
Chief Evergreen Tree, an In
dian from Wisconsin Dells,
Wis., drew a fine of $25 and
costs for speeding Monday al
though he explained that he
merely followed a paleface's
example. Accused of driving
58 mi'es an hour in a 30-mile
zone, the chief said another
motorist passed him, "so I
nudged my 'gray pony' and
moved on."
Washington OPJ Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
said Tuesday the Federal Pow
er commission's decision to
recommend construction of
the Nez Perce dam may result
in Canada diverting the upper
Columbia river.
Neuberger said the
ruling jeopardizes the "entire
future" of hydroelectric de
velopment on the Columbia
because it "glosses over the
dangers of a high dam like
Nez Perce to migratory fish
runs."
Would Damage Migrations ..
"Those of us opposing Can
adian diversion of the upper
Columbia have been relying
almost exclusively on the
great damage which diversion
would do to the Sockeye sal
mon migrations of the Fraser
watershed, because 15 mil
lion acre-feet of flow siphon
ed out of the Columbia could
be tapped only by construct
ing high dams on the Fraser,"
Neubergers aid. "Now FPC
announces, in effect, that fish
ery experts have made great
strides in developing methods
for passing salmon up and
down high dams," the senator
said.
Now More Difficult
"This argument has been
used by the FPC as part of
its argument to justify the
recommendation for erection
of the Nez Perce dam which
would blockade the Salmon
river system where some 60
per cent of the Columbia's
spring chinooks customarily
spawn."
Neuberger said that because
of the FPC's ruling, "it now
becomes many times more
difficult to persuade our Can
adian friends that they should
sacrifice greatly- augmented
power development in order
to prevent high dams from
destroying the sockeye sal
mon pilgrimage of the Fras-er.
ing that young Edward Ben
nett Williams did it again.
Williams is the curly-haired,
37-year-old courtroom strate
gist who is regarded by many
as the smartest criminal lawy
er in America. He's certainly
one of the most successful.
His latest coup, which was
technically in the field of civil
law, was negotiating the un
precedented compromise
whereby Jimmy Hoffa took
over the presidency of the
Teamsters Union with three
court-sponsored "monitors" to
keep an eye on him.
The surprise settlement

lature will get a request from
State Highway Engineer W.
C. Williams for an additional
$3 million in revenue.
Williams said the money
would be needed in 1960 to
match federal highway funds.
The commission has $8 mil
lion a year for matching pur
poses now, but will need $3
million more in 1960.
The money could be raised
by a one-cent a gallon gaso
line tax or by increasing an
nual license plate fees from
S10 to $15 to speed up the
whole road program.
Bandits Get St 04.60
In Portland 'Jobs'
Portland 'IP Bandits held
up a finance company a big
apartment house office here
Monday and escaped with a
total of $104.60, police re
ported. A man carrying a revolver
concealed in a brief case held
up the Allied Finance Com
pany late Monday and es
caped with $100. .
Two men robbed the office

change. One carried what may
have been a toy pistol, police
said.

ended an ouster suit brought
by 13 rank and file union
members who accused the
tough little Teamsters' boss
of rigging his own election.
This isn't the first time
Hoffa has had occasion to con
gratulate himself on his choice
of an attorney. Williams suc
cessfully defended him last
year from what government
prosecutors had regarded as
an airtight, biibery charge.
Some eyebrows were raised
at the bribery trial when
former heavyweight champion
Joe Louis showed up in the
courtroom to see how "my
good friend Jimmy" was com
ing along. Eight of the jurors
were Negroes.
No Arrangements
Williams vigorously denies
that he had any part in ar
ranging L o u i s' appearance.
And most attorneys here
even those who privately re
fer to Williams as "the wond
er boy" agree that the big
gest factor in Hoffa's acquit
tal was Williams' dramatic
summation.
One reporter who witnessed
Williams' two-and-a-half hour
closing performance before
the Hoffa jury predicted after
wards that "They will some
day run excursion trains to
Washington so that young
lawyers can watch Williams
in action."
Williams also is expert at
finding and using iegal tech
nicalities that spare his clients
from the unnerving experi
ence of awaiting a jury's ver
dict.
He got a court to dismiss
denaturalization proceedi n g s
against gambler Frank Cos
tello on grounds that the evi
dence was "tainted" by wire
tapping. He won a directed verdict
of acquittal for former Lt. Al
do L. Icardi on the ground
that a congressional commit
tee had no "valid legislative
purpose" for questioning Icar
di about the wartime murder
of OSS Maj. William F. Holo
han in Italy.
Point of Dispute
Williams gets riled when
somebody suggests in a holier
than - thou tone, that there is
something reprehensible about
finding loopholes in the law
for accused criminals.
"The constitution says every
accused person is entitled to
counsel," he said in an inter
view. "I don't think it's a
lawyer function to make a
judgment of guilt or inno
cence of a person who seeks
his help. Lawyers are not sup
posed to play God. They are
supposed to give their clients
the best representation they
can, within the limitations of
the law and good ethics."
What are the limitations of
good ethics?
"You can't put on a phony
defense; you can't allow the
defendant to take the stand
and swear to testimony you
know is false; you can't sub
orn perjury by a witness."
Williams said he has "no
apology to make" for using
so-called technicalities to free
Costello and others.
"Our constitution and laws
lay down certain rules that
the government has to play
by in bringing a man to trial.
When I find that the govern
ment has violated these rules,
for example, by wire-tapping.
I'll never hesitate to exploit
the point.
"It is a lot less hurtful to
society for one alleged crimi
nal to go free than to allow
the government to go along
in cavalier fashion tapping
wires in violation of its own
statutes."
