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.
