Ike Aide Reports On Plans
For Northwest Power Plants
WENATCHEE, Wash. Wl Pres
idential assistant Sherman Adams
says the Eisenhower administra
tion his a "complete determina
tion" to continue development of
hydroelectric power In the Pacific
Northwest.
Adams, addressing the Pacific
Northwest Trade Assn. Monday
night, said contrary to recent crit
ical attacks on the administra
tion, the President has not forgot
ten the Northwest.
The federal government has
Invested about 1 j billion dollars
in the Pacific Northwest proj
ects," he declared, "and is com
mitted to investing another t bil
lion dollars to complete projects
now under construction.

Deer Hunting
Results Differ
As In the past, the reports on
the opening day of deer season
have varied from ; "red hot" to
mighty slow.
. Generally speaking, however, the
Vord Is thai the hunting through
out the state has been better than
average with most hunters quite
satisfied with the results exper
ienced. Prom the northeast regional of
fice at La Grande comes the word
that hunting in that part of the
state was excellent opening day,
and all of the lockers in La Grande
are full. The weather has been
clear and cold, and thus far all
the roads are open.
Hot spot of the central region
with headquarters locatea at aeaa,
was In the Prineville-Ochoco for
est area with many bucks taken
from the area. One other favorite
area, the china Hat region, south
east of Bend did not produce as
good as last yearvIn other areas
or central Oregon Including the
Bisters, Metolius, and Cascade re
gions, hunters reported seeing
plenty of deer.
In the other region east of the
Cascades, the Burns office of the
game commission reported hunt
ing as being good with good num
bers of deer being taken. One
old buck with seven polpts and
weighing 254 pounds hog dressed
was taken near Seneca. As else
where on the east side, the weath
er Is clear and cold.
West of the mountains the re
port was slightly different In some
areas, and the commission office
at Roseburg summed up the hunt
ing as about the same as last
vear. North farther, however, the
hunting was good according to per
sonnel at the Corvallts game com-
mission office, with success in cer
tain areas excellent. Lane County
. came through with a high sue
' cess while the Linn County ratio
was lower.
Prospects are that hunting should
hold up during the season fairly
well, providing Jhe weatherman
cooperates. " " '

be assured the federal govern
ment will continue active partici
pation In the development of the
Columbia River and Its tributar
ies." Adams said the Reclamation Bu
reau, the Bonneville Power Ad
ministration and the Army Corps
of Engineers are presently at work
construction budgets of lo2
million dollars.
'These partnership expendi
tures mean that you will have an
additional 641,000 kilowatts of gen
erating capacity on the line by
next June 30 and assuming the
same rate of construction another
618,000 kilowatt in the next fiscal
year.
"This means there will be an ad
ditional 60,000 ' acres of land
brought into irrigated production
on the Columbia Basin next spring
and more each spring tor many
years to come."
Adams added, howerer, maxi
mum development will depend
upon a partnership program in
cluding the federal government,
state, public and private agencies.
If you here In the Northwest
wait for tax dollars to be collect
ed from citizens all over the
United States and to be appro
priated by Congress," he said,
"much of the work you want done
will not get done, either on the
scale you want or la the way you
want." '
The President's assistant said
the Federal Power Commission
has receipted applications from 14
local groups proposing water pow
er development on the Columbia
and its tributaries.
'These oroDOsals toeether with

But much of the city's business
and industrial activities were cur
tailed.
Damage from the floods, which
drove thousands from their homes
In the city and suburbs, was esti
mated at IS million aouars.
An estimated 100.000 persons
were made idle yesterday as a re-

rain fell In the Hammond area
during the night and. hundreds of
persons were driven from their
homes by the Hooding uiue jam

About 1,000 families already have
bppn evacuated from sections of
South Hammond, Highland, Mun-

The Red Cross said floodwaters
extended over some 700 homes In
South Hammond and 150 in both
Munster and Highland.
The waters also extended over a
wide area to the west and south
of Chicago, with southwestern sub
urban areas hardest hit.
Four deaths were attributed to
the floodwaters in Chicago. Two
men were found dead in flooded
bisemants, a third was electrocu

U.S. Public 293 Million
WASHINGTON W Sen. Beall
(R-Mdi asserted Tuesday unjusti
fied ooffee price increases cost the
American consuming public "an
estimated 393 million dollars"
from January to August.
Beall made the statement at a
public hearing by a Senate bank
ing subcommittee. The group
called New York Coffee and Sug
ar Exchange officials before It for
questioning about charges by the
Federal Trade Commission that
the exchange has engaged in un
lawful restraints of trade contrib
uting to the rise in colfee prices.
"There is no evidence of a cof
fee shortage today nor during the
past year to Justify the increase
in price," Beall declared.
As leadoff witness, FTO Chair
man Edward P. Howrey defend
ed his commission's attempted
crackdown on the exchange, and
exchange president Gustavo Lo-
oo jr. countercharged that the
FTC has been "biased and inac
curate" In its allegations.
Both Howrey and Lobo had pre
pared statements which they read
to the subcommittee. 'These dealt
primarily with a report the FTC
Issued last July which contended
that manipulation of the market,

rather than considerations of sup
ply and demand, were responsible
for spiraling coffee prices.
Howrey said that since the com
mission will sit as a quasi-Judicial
body on its formal charges
against the exchange It would be
Improper for him to detail those
accusations now.
Lobo said the exchange will de
fend itself- vigorously before the
PTC, but that he hopes his testi
mony d ei o r e tne suocommutee
will "show on what filmy
grounds" the FTO'a case Is based.
Beall called for federal regula
tion of the exchange, a step Lobo
said it will resist.
Beall said that witnesses at
hearings before bis subcommittee
last spring "attempted to Justify
the spiraling coffee prices as a
natural result of the July 1953
frost In Brazil and increased
world wide consumption." He said
he rejects those contentions, add
ing: "A rise In coffee prices accur
ately reflecting these factors
would not have been intolerable to
the consumer, nor caused the
President to announoe that the
FTC was conducting an extensive
investigation and the senate to or
der this inquiry."
