DEATH
MOSCOW (fi The Soviet armed
forces newspaper Red Star an
nounced Tuesday the death of Col.-
Gen. of Artiolery Nikolai Drozdov,
91, possibly the oldest general in
the- Soviet army on active duty.
NEW YORK Wl Two senators
said Tuesday Igor Gouzenko, who
helped smash a Russian spy ring
in Canada, had given them names
and information usable for the in
ternal security of the United States.
Sen. Jenner (R-Ind) and McCar
ran (D-Nev) told newsmen on re
turning from a trip to Canada that
they questioned Gouzenko for more
than five hours Monday. -
Gouzenko formerly was a code
clerk for the Russians In Canada
The senators declined to reveal
where they had seen Gouzenko at
what they described as a hearing
They said their mission "was ac
complished and lt was satisfaC'
tory." -
Jenner and McCarran arrived at
Pennsylvania Station here at 9:20
a.m. (EST) aboard the Washing
ton an irom Montreal.
They said the hearing was pre.
sided over by J. C. McRurer, chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of
Ottawa.
Jenner, chairman of the Senate
subcommittee on internal security,
said he would study the transcript
of the hearing and probably make
a formal request to the Canadian
government to release the Informa
tion.
Asked if Gouzenko had mentioned
names, Jenner said:
'Yes, names were mentioned.
but under our agreement we can
not discuss it."
To a question as to whether he
had "learned anything" from the
Interview, Jenner said:
"Yes. we did."
"What are you going to do with
n? he was asked.
"Use it for the internal protec
tion of the United States," said
jenner.
Jenner and McCarran said they
would continue on to Washington
later Tuesday.
"Mr. Gouzenko has a very good
mind and appeared In good spir
its," Jenner commented.'
He described the Canadian gov
ernment and Gouzenko as cooper
ative. The Canadian Foreign office an
nounced Monday night, that Jenner
and McCarran had concluded their
talks with Gouzenko.
The ex-Russian bared the exist
ence of a Soviet-directed spy ring
in America and Britain in 1945
after walking out on his job in
the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa ' In
1945.
Elaborate security precautions
were taken to safeguard Gouzen
ko. Fearing Communist retaliation,
he and his family now live under
assumed names in an Ontario com
munity. The Canadian government also
had stipulated lt alone would de
cide what information obtained at
the interview could be made public.

groups advocating the federal proj
ect, asked hearing Examiner Wil
liam J. Costello to strike Houston s
testimony Dec. 17, Just before the
hearing was recessed for the holidays.
Houston testified power from the
proposed federal Jiells Canyon
Dam would be too expensive and
said the project is not needed for
flood control.
Mrs. Cooper said Houston, pow
er advisor to Washington Gov. Ar
thur B. Langlle, did not qualify
as an expert witness. She asserted
his testimony was incompetent,
failed to support Washington's pe
tition to Intervene in the case and
consisted of a "conglomeration
largely supported only by opinion
and hearsay."
Costello told Houston to be ready
for cross-examination Wednesday
in the event Mrs. Cooper's motion
is denied. But Lonctot notified Cos
tello last week that Houston had
become 111 and would be unable
to appear for several weeks.
So John C. Mason, Power Com
mission attorney, prepared to call
federal government witnesses after
disposition of Mrs. Cooper's mo
tion.
Mason said he hoped to call four
witnesses from the Reclamation
Bureau this week. They are John
H. Riter, Louis Puis and Cecil I.
Hoisington, all of Denver, and Ed
Koessner, head of the preliminary
design and estimate section of the
bureau s regional olllce at noise,
Idaho.
Mason told a reporter the tour
would testify. on cost estimates for
the proposed federal project. Puis
designed the project in 1952 after
tne Interior Department proposed
its construction.
Riter Is assistant chief develop

Bureau's project Investigation di

drology engineer he made a com
parison last summer of tne pro
posed federal Hens canyon uam
and the Idaho Power plans lor
three low dams in the river.
After considering cost and power
production factors, Riter conclud
ed the high federal dam would be
superior to the three smaller dams.
The federal project would eost
about three times, as much ai the
private dams, Idaho Power esti
mates.
In all. Mason plans to call about
dozen Interior witnesses and
some from the ' Agriculture De
