Fight Looms Over Snake River Dam W ASHINGTON' (UP1 - Public and private power forces dashed today before the Federal Power Commission in a climactic strug gle which has been likened to the Hells Canyon wight o( the '50s. The FPC scheduled 6 1-2 hours of oral argument over who will build a dam on the middle Snake River between Idaho and Oregon some 50 miles downstream from the Hells Canyon dam. An FPC examiner already has recommended the dam be built by the Pacific Northwest Power Co. (PN'Pi, which was organized by four private power companies. But Interior Secretary Stewart L. l'dall sought to block private construction, urging that it be built by the federal government. WI'PSS In Fight A key combatant, the Washing ton Public Power Supply System iWPPSSi, sought permission to build the Nez Perce dam farther downstream. Failing that WPPSS asked it be allowed to build the t High Mountain Sheep dam. The oral arguments climaxed three years of legal maneuver. ing before the FPC. which is ex pected to reach a final decision by mid-year. The PNP was formed in 1954 by the Portland General Electric, Pacific Power & Light, Washing Ion Water Power and the Mon tana Power companies. In 1958 the firm filed a petition with the FPC to build the High Mountain Sheep dam at an csti mated cost of $257. million. In I960 the WPPSS filed a conflict ing application to build the Nez Perce dam further downstream. L'dall stepped into the battle last June when he asked the FPC to recommend to Congress that the federal government build the dam. The move was protested by both PNP and WPPSS. A recommendation that PNP he allowed to build the dam was made last Oct. 8 by FPC exami ner William C. Levy.

Yet i great many men, who are otherwise impec cably dressed. come to work without under shirts. Isn't this exactly the same thing? My boss is a man in his 40 s. He is handsome, a smart dresser and has excellent taste in all areas except this one. The first thing he does when he comes to the oflice is shed his suit coal There he sits, greeting important people from all over the world. both men and women wun undershirt. To make matters worse, he wears expensive white silk shirts that you can sec right through. I've mentioned this to a fev col leagues and they look at me as if I have lost my marbles. What is vour opinion? - POOR BUT REFINED llrar P BIT R: Most men s shirts are made of oxford cloth or cotton. These fabrics are not transparent, so from an esthetic point of view an undershirt is not essential. Silk shirts, however, rail (rr an undershirt. And If your hois does not know it let's hope he reads this and takes the hint. Dear Ann Landers: Many or ganizations are interested in the blind, and other handicapped groups, but few people are in terested in the deaf. Perhaps it is because deaf people do not use crutches or have dogs to lead them. ' They look like everyone else. f& V 'Need Money For Spring?

You may be interested to know that the U.S. government spent many thousands of dolla-s in Feb ruary. 19U2, to gather outstanding authorities in the field of educa tion, social wellare and religion for the purpose of examining the status of deaf drivers. Safety ex perts as well as representatives of insurance companies were in vited. It was established Uiat the ac cident rale for deaf drivers lower than the accident rate for drivers with hearing.

"The role of woman is chang ing for the beUcr. especially in the cities," the speaker said and the caste system is slowly disap pearing. Most residents of the cities are literate with illiteracy concentrated in the rural areas and small villages. There arc many free schools. he said, but not enough good ones.

The following day Morris brought the specimen to the Klam ath County Museum where Mrs. Lloyd Seoly, curator, identified it the "largest and best pre served mammoth's tooth ever brought to the museum." Mrs. Secly said the fossil was in a "remarkably good stale of pres ervation and is at least one-third larger than any other specimen 1 have seen." She believes the tooth is a lower molar, judging from the curva ture of its roots. Alter hearing the account relat ed by Morris, Mrs. Scely speculat ed that the toolh had apparently been washed from the ground into the river by water flowing from a flume nearby. The specimen is somewhat larg er than a similar fossil which was found in the Henley District some lime ago by B. H. Pickett of Ma tin, and donated to the museum.

Dan l.cahy is being considered for a two-year athletic scholar ship at Oregon Technical Institute WASHINGTON (UP1 The House Ways Si Means Committee, its first action on President Kennedy's tax program, today ap proved his plan to provide siccial relief for actors, baseball stars and others whose incomes fluctu ate sharply. The proposal which was tenta tively approved would pruvidc an estimated $40 million in annual tax relief for such persons. The plan would permit taxpay ers whose Incomes fluctuate sharply from year to year to "av erage" their income for tax pur poses, Thus, it would reduce chances that one good year would subject them to high-lax brackets, If it followed years of low income. The proposal is one of many structural changes in the tax code which Kennedy urged Congress to adopt, along with an across-the-board reduction in income tax rales. On balance, the proposed struc tural changes would provide anlals who suddenly strike it rich increase of $3.5 billion in tux re- niter years of modest earnings. venue. However, the committee is u wuuid aow . iavDavr,r tn a certain to reject the bulk of the ,jK income year to lump together evenue-protiucing proposals. The propusal adopted today would allow averaging of income over a five-vear period only in cases where income during a cur rent year exceeds the average of four prior years by more thun one third. Averaging, however, would be permitted only if the current year income also exceeds the four-year average by at least $3,000. Some system nl income-average has long been advocated by pro fcssional actors and athletes and by authors whose income is sub ject to major change from year to year. The averaging plan which would not take effect until I'M, could mean big tax saving for individu- his income from a five-year peri od and compute a tenelative tax on one-fifth of the income. The tax attributable to the one-filth would then be multiplied by five to determine the final tax for the current year. To illustrate the benefits of av eraging: Assuming the lower tax rates recommended by Ken nedy arc adopted, an author who received $-14,000 in taxable income in !IMi5 would, without benefit ot averaging, be subject to a tax of SI7.IWK). Income averaging would cut the lax to $10,860, if (he author's taxable income had pre viously totaled only $4,000 a year.
