Mmgm Sharply Criticizes Federal Power Commission Washington - HUH Federal Power Commisiioner Howard Morgan said Wednesday that there wore occasions when the commission refused to in vestigate iltuation because it felt it "would disturb in dustry." Morgan, who had differed with his colleagues and had asked President Kennedy not to reappoint him in June, dis cussed the workings of the commission in a sometimes heated hearing before a Konse commerce investigating sub committee. Rep. John B. Bennett (R Mich.) questioned Morgan sharply on a letter the com missioner wrote to Kennedy Jan. 23. He asked Morgan to give an example of his phrase: "Ordinary men yield loo quickly to the present day urge toward conformity, ti midity and personal securi ty." Morgan replied: "When in a commission meeting the statement is made that we must not inves tigate a situation because it could disturb industry . . , and that statement is acted upon, I would say this is an example of what I was talk ing about." Cites Soma Cuts Morgan said such a policy was followed in cases in vol v- Brand Opposes Allowing Media Inside Courtroom Salem - (WD - Former Ore gon Supreme Court Justice James T. Brand said Wednes day a bill to open courtrooms to telecast and broadcasts would violate the constitu tion as well a disrupt court room procedure. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Kessler Cannon (R Bend) would permit television cam eras and microphones in courtrooms subject to rules and regulations Issued by the presiding judge. Cannon, a radio station ex ecutive, said such coverage now Is permitted in Colorado and Texas. He said modern-day equip- ment would make coverage scarcely . noticeable. He said telecasting and broadcasting would be at the discretion of the judge, giving ample pro tection to the dignity of the courtroom and to witnesses or jurors unwilling to be photo graphed. Brand said coverage in Texas and Colorado was per mitted by judicial regulation, not legislative act. He said the proposed Oregon law1 would amount to "the legisla tive department trying to con trol the conditions of the judicial" in clear violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of constitutional separation of powers. Brand told the House Ju diciary committee the Ameri can Bar association has re affirmed Canon 39, which op poses cameras in courtrooms and which is respected in 43 states. Brand denied the Cannon bill as now written would leave coverage up to a judge. The former Justice also said courtroom coverage would "tend to iramatlze" the be havior of judge, jurors, wit. nesses and attorneys. 'Is there anyone who makes the same talk to 12 men as 100,000?" he asked. He said newsmen would cover only the "racy" cases, jurors would be "conscious of the fact all the folks back home" were watching, judges would handle the gavel with an extra flourish, and attor. neys would lean toward oratory. ing the Idaho Power Co. and the Pacific intertie. The Pacific intertie deals with the tie-in of power lines to carry surplus Pacific North west power to California mar kets. Federal construction of such an intertie hat been rec ommended by the Interior department while private power companies want to build such a connecting pow er line themselves.

Bennett accused Morgan of telling Kennedy that other members of the commission were "a bunch of low-level . . . timid people" and were "doing a danged poor job." Morgan denied this and re peatedly refused to comment on other members. "This witness is being eva sive," Bennett said. "I don't think he's being frank with us. I don't think he's being honest." Bennett also charged that Morgan was "giving the com mittee the same kind of gob- NO-MAN'S LAND STRIP CONTEMPLATED Kampala, Uganda-WluUganda is contemplating creation of a no-man's land along its Congo border to increase control ovr secessionist tribesmen, it was rportd today.

State Game Group Scored Again; Elk Herd Said Smaller Salem - OJPD -The Senate Fish and Game committee heard the State Game com mission assailed from anoth er quarter Wednesday, while the House Fish and Game committee put aside a Dill raising game commission fees to await further devel opments. The actions came on the heels of a hearing Tuesday night where a group of south east Oregon sportsmen called for a two-year study of game commission activities. They said deer herds are diminish ing. The attack Wednesday came from Clatsop county. Decreased Rapidly J. R. Thompson, John Vers chueren, and J. F. Hoagland of the Astoria Rod and Gun club said Clatsop elk herds have decreased rapidly since seasons on young elk were started four years ago. They urged passage of a bill prohibiting shooting of spike elk. The game commission re plied tile elk herds are stable. Witnesses for other sport and wildlife groups said the mat ter should be left to the com mission. A state forester said it was necessary to keep elk from increasing too rapidly in newly reforested areas. Meanwhile, the House com mittee voted a 30-day rest for a bill to increase hunting and fishing license fees to give the game commission more money for its programs. The house committee said it would wait to see what be comes of the Senate plan for a study. 3a .vv, 2S ' . .. 11 103 47 4(i 41 Police Officers School Scheduled The annual advanced school for police officers is sched uled for mid-March in Med- (ord, according to Chief of Police Charles P.

Moss (D Calif.) said Morgan's dissent ing FPC opinions showed a "sense of great vigor, clarity and logic." Questioning by subcom mittee members was expected to bring into the open a dis pute with Commission Chair man Joseph Swidler, who will testify Thursday. Harris said the commit tee's Interest had b"en height, ened by "critical general re marks" in the letter by Mor gan to the President in which the commissioner made high ly critical remarks about the FPC administrative process. He said his reasons for wishing to leave the commis sion were "clearly visible" in his lone dissents to com mission decisions. In his sharply worded dis sents, Morgan made it clear that he felt the majority was favoring private industry over the public interest. Cites Halls Canyon Pressed for the type FPC decisions he had criticized, Morgan cited an order author izing the issuance of $30 mil lion in promissory notes by the Idaho Power company to finance construction of the Little Hell's Canyon dam on the Snake river. The former Oregon public utility chief and state Demo cratic chairman said the or der had appeared to be non controversial and a "run-of-the-mill" decision but that it had been issued without prop er investigation. "The Idaho Power compa ny now is selling 20 per cent of capacity at below the cost I of production of electricity," I he said. As a result, he said, I a study should have been made whether the addition al capacity from the compa ny's proposed third dam might be "a threat to the com pany in view of its sound ness." Morgan's dissent said the dam proposal should have been investigated because it might aggravate the compa ny's problem in selling sur plus capacity. He suggested that the Bon neville Power administration might extend its marketing area into the area served by the private companies.
