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."

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.

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

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.

bledygook he gave the Pres
ident." But Re. John E. 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.
