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.

I w as saddened by a recent col
umn in which a reader wrote
"Many states have no laws to pro
tect the public against crippled
half-blind, senile, and DEAF driv
ers. Obviously, the writer has no
understanding of deaf drivers.
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. Deaf drivers
are more careful because thev
realize they must be especially
alert. They must see what they
cannot hear.

was the remains of a prehistoric
animal.
The following day Morris
brought the specimen to the Klam

Lloyd Seoly, curator, identified it
the "largest and best pre

brought to the museum."
Mrs. Secly said the fossil was in
a "remarkably good stale of pres

larger than any other specimen 1
have seen."
She believes the tooth is a lower
molar, judging from the curva

Alter hearing the account relat

been washed from the ground

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.
