Hells Canyon
Said Feasible
WASHINGTON LW a reclama
tion Bureau engineer said Thurs
day his studies indicate either
single or multiple power dams in
the Hells Canyon "would appear
to be economically feasible."
John R. Ritcr of Denver said
this during cross-examination at a
rower commission hearing on
Idaho Power Co.'s applications to
build three dams in the Snake
River between Idaho and Oregon,
where the federal Hells Canyon
project nas Deen proposed.
Mrs. Evelyn Cooper, attorney
for groups favoring a single high
lederal dam questioned Riter on
his investigation of power gener
ation costs for the high dam, for
three dams wilh the same capa
city as Idaho Power's and lor two
projects. -
Eiter,. assistant chief develop
ment engineer of the Reclamation
Bureau's project investigation di
vision, testified the generation cost
lor power which would be added to
the Columbia River Basin system
would be lowest for the two-dam
plan and highest lor the three-dam
proposal.
- No one has proposed construc
tion of two dams in the area, but
such a scheme was considered by
the bureau for comparison pur
poses. Mrs.. Cooper asked whether Rl
ter's investigation indicates all of
the three plans would be econom
ically feasible and he replied "It
Would appear so."
Mrs. Cooper sought unsuccess
fully to get Rlter to testify about
what she called the "wide dispar
ity" between construction cost es
timates of Idaho Power and those
of the bureau for the threc-dam
proposals.
Hearing Examiner William J.
Costello sustained objections by R.
?. Parry, Idaho Power attorney,
and John C. Mason, Power Com
mission lawyer, who protested
that Riter made no comparison of
the construction cost estimates.
Rlter has estimated three con
crete dams would cost 285 million
dollars and the high dam could be
built for 357 million dollars. Idaho
Power estimates the cost ol its
proposed rock till danu at 133 mil
lion dollars.

ing the preceding two -days he had
made a number ot appearances In
Oklahoma and Nebraska.
In his linal talk ol the tour, a
banquet address to the Nebraska
Farmers' Union, Benson declared
"it is crystal clear that the present
price support program is not pro

prices."
Despite all the effort ana ex

has dropped in live of the last six
