Power Firm

Woodward Prowler Signs Confession; Drops Lawyer
BOISE, Idaho W The Idaho
Power Co. took steps In the face
of threatened court action Wednes
day to - start construction of two
power dams in the Hells Canyon
reach of the Snake River between
Idaho and Oregon.
T. E. Roach, Idaho Power pres
ident, announced the signing of a
contract with Morrison-Knudsen Co.
of Boise to butid Brownlee and
Oxbow dams, two of the Uiree
dams for which the company was
given a Federal Power Commis
sion license Aug. 4.
- Roach said construction will be
gin as soon as men. materials and
equipment can be moved Into the
area , and both projects will be
completed "in time to avert a
critical power shortage in the com
pany's service area of Southern
Idaho and Eastern Oregon."
Signing of the contract was
another round of a long-term bat
tle beUveen public and private
power advocates over the tise of
Hells Canyon, one of the nation's
deepest gorges.
Public power groups have ad
vocated .construction of a single
high federal dam in the canyon.
After the FPC licensed Idaho Pow
er to build three small dams, the
National Hells Canyon Assn., an
nounced it -would appeal to the fed
eral courts before the end of No
vember. The licensing followed more than
a year of FPC hearings at which
the public power group vigorously
opposed the Idaho Power pro
gram. Morrison-Knudsen testified at the
hearings the three dams could be
built for 133 million dollars. The
power company estimates Brown
lee Dam will cost 63 million and
Oxbow 24 million.
Both are rockfill dams. Brown
lee, located eight miles north of
Robinette, Ore., Is designed to be
395 feet high, one of the 15 highest
in the world. Oxbow is 12 miles
downstream from Brownlee, -
Portland. Ore., to be the guests o!
the "Wmgs of Healing" temple
operated by evangelist Thomas A.
Wyatt. They were to leave at 10
a.m. PST.
Cowart said he and his compan
ions have decided to press for
three objectives.
They are: 1. To seek a change
in their discharge status from dis
honorable to a "better category;"
2. To seek reimbursement lor back
pay and allowances for time In
service, plus prisoner of war bene-
fits; and 3. To seek pay for the
104 days they were Jailed by the
Army after they returned from
China last July. ,
The dishonorable discharge giv
en the three men while they were
in China did not specify forfeiture
of pay accrued while they were
prisoners of war.
Meanwhile, Bell's wife, Jewell,
flew here yesterday from Olympia,
Wash., to be with her husband.
In Poi Hand, evangelist Wyatt
said the" turncoats told him by
telephone last night that they
"wanted to devote their lives to
lighting Communism and alerting
the nation to its dangers."
Wyall hoped the three would stay
until Sunday so they might appear
on his two national radio ' shows
(on Mutual and ABC).
He said he would discuss the
three men's religious and anti
Communist future with them. Wy
att took an interest 'In their case
when the Army first arrested them.
These boys know about anti-
Christiah Communism," Wyatt
said. "They have experienced
Red Chinese brainwashing and they
know all the tricks used by the
Communists to pervert our ideology."

Burke Warns
Of Missiles
BOSTON Wl Chief of Naval
Operations Adm. Arleigh A. Burke
says submarine launched weapons
tipped with atomic warheads,
could constitute a real threat to
our coastal areas, to our port cities
and to our sea lanes."
Burke spoke yesterday at the
commissioning of the USS Forreit
Sherman, a new type destroyer
which he called "the U. S. Navy's
latest submarine killer."
He said one of the Navy's fore
most challenges today comes from
the submarine.
"The submarine is becoming
more versatile than she has ever
been," he said. "Today's Subma
rines are capable of laying many
types of mines, landing comman
dos, fueling and arming seaplanes;
they are capable of launching tor
pedoes and guided missiles.
"Nuclear - powered submarines
provide even a much greater
threat for they have Increased
speed and range and staying pow
er. They are tougher to find and
tougher to kin."
Burke described the Forrest
Sherman like this:
"She has the very latest equip
ment to detect, to pinpoint and kill
the submarine. She Is more live
able and she is more deadly than
her World War II predecessors. 1
' "Antisubmarine warfare is only
one of the many missions that this
ship Is prepared to accomplish.
She is prepared to kill enemy air
craft and destroy surface raiders.
"She is truly the workhorse of
the fleet."
MRS. PETE CAUSE who spent 25 yean in Merrill and who
has moved recently to a new home at 5057 Bryant Street,
brought "her pride and joy;" a hand-braided, hand-sewn rug
to the new house in Klamath Fajls. The rug measures IO'j
by I3V feet. The all-wool materials were gathered over a
three-year period from upholstering concerns and the rug took
one year to complete. Three men were needed to carry it
from the moving van to the living room. Mrs. Calise has shown
"an eye" for color combinations in blending the materials.
She uses a smaller rug in contrasting shades in the same room.
A third rug has already been started. She turned down an offer
of $500 for the larger rug which has been sewn with waxed
linen thread. . ,
