Senator Cordon Discusses Proposed Montana Project . WASHINGTON VP) The Inter-1 tional Joint Commission is en gaged in active consideration of tho proposed Libby Dam project in Montana, Senator Guy Cordon reports. He said that the fact the commission temporarily is with out a chairman has not stymied its work. Senator Cordon said that "badly misinformed" sources in Oregon have been spreading reports that the Libby Dam project is road blocked by the fact that Governor Len Jordan of Idaho, who has ! been named chairman of the com-1 mission, will not take office until January. ' ! Describing that view as at best "a sprawling leap to an errone ous conclusion," Senator Cordon said the fact is that "the commis sion is legally competent to func tion with its present five-man membership and, furthermore, has been functioning right along." With particular reference to Libby Dam, Senator Cordon said "the exchange of views (with Canada) on the Kootenai River project has been under way since May." Senator Cordon pointed out that tne Canadian government was in vited last May to submit Its for mal views on the Libby Dam pro ject, and that these comments have been received by the joint commission. Under Its ' rules of procedure, the commission now has invited interested parties on the American side to file their comments, during a 30-day period expiring this month. Following that, Senator Cordon explained, the commission will ad vertise dates for public hearings, one probably in Montana and the other somewhere in the adjacent area of Canada. The hearings may be set for the first week In November before, the new chairman takes office. Governor Jordan, although not eligible to sit officially with the commission until he takes office, has been invited to attend the semi - annual commission meeting at Ottawa, October 2, and has in dicated he will be there. At that meeting, the commission is ex pected to set the hearing dates on the Libby project. Charges that Governor Jordan's absence from the commission Is holding up its work have been circulated in Oregon through the labor press and other media. Senator Cordon surmised that they must have been originated by "someone with an incredible talent for getting things all balled up," because, he said, "nothing could be furtfier from the truth than these reports. " (Cordon for U.S. Senator Com mittee, W. H. Steiwer, Chairman, 234 Imperial Hotel, Portland, Ore gon.) .
