New Hope for Settlement of
River Power Deadlock Is Seen
By LEROY POPE
United Press International
New York (UPD New
hope for an early settlement
of the deadlock between
Canada and the United States
on Columbia river power and
water rights was seen today
by two Northwest senators.
The senators were en
couraged by a statement to a
parliamentary committee at
Ottawa by Gen. A. G. L. Mc
Naughton, chairman of the
Canadian section of the In
ternational Commission.
McNaughton told the Ex
ternal Affairs Committee of
the Canadian Parliament he
would not say Canada could
not be compensated for giv
ing up the tremendous ad
vantage it could enjoy by di
verting the waters of the
Kootenay in British Colum
bia. Thus, Gen. McNaughton
appeared for the first time
to be receding from his de
termination to press the Fras
er river diversion to which
the Americans so object.
However, the general was
as uncompromising as ever in
defending Canada's right to
divert waters into the Fraser.
He also emphasized that Can
ada and the United States
still are far apart on the pro
posed Libby Dam.
He said the difference be
tween American and Cana
dian plans' for Columbia pow
er amounted to 700,000 kijo
watts for British Columbia
"and that's a lot of power."
Sen. Richard Neuberger
(D-Ore.) who is perhaps the
leading American advocate
of a swift solution of the
Columbia dispute, told Unit
ed Press International:
"I was interested to learn
that press sources quoted
Gen. McNaughton as hinting
to parliament in Ottawa of a
decision to recede from plans
for diversion of Columbia
river waters into the Fraser
river. If this is an accurate
statement of Gen. McNaugh
ton's views, then progress has
been made toward continued
protection of North Pacific
salmon , fisheries. Damming
the Fraser, of course, ; would
cut off m a j o r spawning
grounds.
Sen. James Murray (D
Mont.) said: "On the basis of
press reports on Gen. Mc
Naughton's speech, it -appears
we may be moving off dead
center. I have asked the Ca
nadian Embassy to furnish me
a text of the McNaughton
statement. The Interior Com
mittee, of which I am chair
man, is extremely interested
in the solution of this dispute,
I am hopeful that the Inter
national Joint Commission at
its October meeting in' Otta
wa will record further prog
ress toward development of
the Columbia, watershed for
the mutual benefit of this
country and our good neigh
bor to the north."

secretary's pledge that the
admiral will get his third

Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D
Wash.), chairman of the con
gressional Atomic Energy
Committee's weapons subcom
mittee, said he was in favor
of Rickover's "appropriate
recognition."
"Likewise I'm happy to
learn the Navy now recog
nizes it will be possible to
promote Admiral Rickover to
vice admiral," Jackson said.
"I earnestly hope the Navy
will not long delay this
move."
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson
(D-N.M.), vice chairman of the
Atomic Energy committee,
said he was "very pleased by
the President's extremely gen
erous recognition of Admiral
Rickover on the occasion of
the return of the Nautilus."
ALL IN THE FAMILY
Louis. Edgar Campbell,
Grants Pass, who yesterday
reported the theft Monday
night of a tool box containing
$650 in tools from his car in
an alley behind Front st., has
since discovered the "thief"
was his brother, who simply
borrowed the tools without
permission, police reported today.
More than two-thirds of
American households own
one motor vehicle and about
8 per cent own two or more,
according to current statistics.
"I hope the Navy continues
that recognition by making
possible his appointment as
vice admiral," added Ander
son, referring to a statement
by Navy Secretary Thomas
S. Gates. -
The Navy confirmed Tues
day a Newsweek magazine in
terview in which Gates said
he was sure he can promote
Rickover, a frequent Navy
storm center, to the three-star
rank of vice admiral. But he
said it "will take a little
while."
The President's designation
of Rickover, the so-called "fa
ther" of the A-sub, to greet
the Nautilus in New York
Monday apparently was to
make amends for not Inviting
him to White House ceremo
nies Aug. 8 announcing the
submarine's historic under
ice voyage across the North
Pole.
