Church, whose company advo cates construction of three, low, hydro-electric dams on the Snake I River at the Hell's Canyon site, ramer than the single high dam as now proposed, answered the private enterprise-government con trol dispute by refuting statements made last May by Al Ullman. Democratic candidate for a U.S. Congressional scat in the Novem ber election. Ullman spoke on the Hell's Canyon proposition before members of the Pomona Grange. Claiming that power production is the primary asset of the Hell's Canyon site. Church staled that the Idaho Power Company's plan would utilize the entire 602 feet of river fall and would provide a million acres of storage, lor all of the water consistently available after allowance has been made lor future upstream Irrigation needs and downstream navigation. Ho conceded that the proposed federal high dam would produce at least 47,000 kilowatts more ilrm power than the three lower dams could, with a peak capacity of 900.800 kw but lie also contended that the cost of the extra, produc tion would be over 25 times great er than the cost of his company's firm power output. Church emphasized that present power needs demand that power be made available as quickly as possioie. He explained that the Idaho Power Company could com plete the three low dams and get operation under way in 38 months after being granted the necessary license, in contrast to an estim ated to years for construction of the high dam. "Thus." he snid, "the three low dams could produce 40 billion kil owatts of power, an amount equiv alent to 10 Bonneville dams op erating for one year, before Ihe high clam could be completed. Congress has twice rejected the proposal for the high dam. Ap proprintion of money for construc tion costs may be delayed for years. Church said. Touching on the oilier assets ol multi-purpose dams, the speaker reminded the grangers that neith er plan proposed claims to be an irrigation reservoir, since all ir rigable lands are upstream from the dam sites, but If Irrigation should be developed below, water would not be available to fill the proposed high dam reservoir and still supply the 5000 cubic feet per second downstream flow which army engineers say Is needed lor navigation. Church stated thai 101 upstream water users have publicly opposed the high dam proposal. 1 He claimed also that due to the lesser fluctuation of water levels the three-dam project is much su perior to the high dam from the recreation standpoint.

Conceriirr flood control Church reported that the Upper Snake River is already 55 per cent con trolled by irrigation dams, and will be 80 per cent controlled when two dams now under con struction are completed. A report from the U.S. Depart- mant of the Interior indicated that either the high dam or the lower dams would have reduced the 1948 Vanport flood crest by only seven tenths of a foot. Because of the high cost of con struction of the dam proposed by the federal government which Is estimated by the power company to be about four times the total cost of the three low dams, the government could not possibly produce power as cheaply as the Idaho Power Company's 4.4 mill per kilowatt hour, estimated base cost rate. The federal government Church said, would pay no taxes on the federal property where the power company would pay county, state and federal taxes totaling $10, 000,000 annually on the three dams in addition to the taxes paid by the power consumers. Church refuted a statement made by Ullman concerning the "Electric Furnace" production of low co." nnospliale fertilizer from cneap acii s canyon power. Ull man in a Public statement Raid that fertilizer operations would need power at a cost of not more than three mills. In rebuttal Church said."thcre can be no such thing as power that cheap either at the dam and certainly not at the phosphate beds which arc farther from Hell's Cfnvnn t'-m Portland or s.?atK" Walt Jcndrzejewski, speaking for c.
