MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOhD, OREGON THURSDAY. MAY 23, 1963 JFK Supporting Federal Dam at Mountain Sheep By ELMER W, LAMMI United Press International Washington (UPD President Kennedy still supports federal construction of the Mountain Sheep dam in the Pacific Northwest, the Federal Power Commission has been told, But an attorney for the In terior Department also said construction of dams on the middle reach of the Snake riv er between Idaho and Oregon should he delaved until the problem of passing fish over high dams can be solved. Harry Hogan, assistant de partment solicitor, said Inte rior Secretary Stewart Udall had talked with Kennedy about the administration stand nn thp nrniect. Hoffan said he was authorized to state there had been no change in the ad ministration's position. Kennedy Dromlscd on May 0 to take another look at the project in line with his ex pressed view that private In dustry should build the dam unless the federal government could prove federal construc tion was superior. Summer Decision Likely The full commission heard oral arguments for and against construction of the Mountain Sheep dam In a cli mactic all-day hearing. The commission is expected to reach a decision sometime this summer. Most of the testimony con cerned the impact of dam con struction on the last remain ing major Balmon spawning grounds in the Salmon river. Spokesmen for Washington, Oregon and Montana fisheries interests supported the Pacific Northwest Power Company's contention that Mountain Sheep dam above the mouth of the Salmon would have lit tle effect on fish runs. The Washington Public Power Supply System is seek ing permission to build the Nez Perce Dam downstream from the mouth of the Salmon. Runt Said Doomed Evelyn Cooper, counsel for WPPSS, suggested Columbia river fish runs were doomed in any event. She said imple mentation of the Columbia river treaty with Canada would reduce flows over the dams and most fingerlings would have to pass through turbines in 10 dams. At each, she said, 8 to 10 per cent would be destroyed. Hogan, in arguing for delay, contended that both the PNP and WPPSS were wrong in arguing that there was a cur rent power shortage." On the contrary, he said, there would continue to be a surplus of power until about 1972. Touch of Fun x) 7029 Cheer up chores, and win smiles from everybody with these whimsical mollis.
