UP TO FEDERAL POWER
COMMISSION
Yet when asked if an agreement had
been reached with Idaho Power Com
pany to insure that they will not in
terfere with orderly development of
the natural resources of the area,
Mckay seemed surprised that anyone
would ask such a question. He said,
"No," maintaining that Interior had
no agreement and had no intention
of making such an agreement. 1t was
up to the Federal Power Commission.
While Interior did not hesitate to
oppose Hells Canyon dam, it could
not get around the fact that the
total installed capacity for Hells
Canyon would be 100000 XIV maxi
mum while previous estimates, par
ticularly the one by the Idaho-Ore-
gon-Hells Canyon association came
to 1,124,000 XIV. This is about 340,-
900 XIV over the total of the three
low-level dams.
The Department also had to adj
NIT that the storage of the Hells
Canyon dam would be 3,880,000 while
the power company's would yield L.
100000 acre feet for storage capaci-
ty.
Last but not least, Mckay declin-
ed to answer the question of whether
there will be other ways to subsidize
reclamation in the area without
charging it to Hells Canyon. He pass
ed this off lightly by saying that
other dams could easily be built for
the reclamation subsidy.
CO-OPS LOSE BENEFITS
After intensive questioning, how
ever, he admitted that the dams which
could absorb the cost of reclama-
ton subsidies were not under con-
struetion nor even authorized. In fact
he said that Interior had no plans for
even suggesting those dams.
Nineteen rural electric co-opera-
tives and public utility districts in the
pacific Northwest lose direct bene-
fits in low cost power from Hells
Canyon dam by this choice of the
administration, but all power con-
sumers in Idaho would suffer. Ida
no Power rates are highest in the
region. I'd
Seventy-five thousand farmers lose

responsibility for the loss of Hells

THE CONTROVERSIAL 2O-YEAR
CONTRACT PROPOSAL

West pointed out that it hardly
seems possible to negotiate a 20-year
contract when the power generation
now known will have reached its
peak by 1860. He suggested a shorter
term contract at this time, unless we
meet the contingency of power
shortage by providing for an equali-
zation and distribution of new gen
Grafton between private utilities, pub
lie utilities, and heavy industry.
He also suggested that, after dispo-
sition of present generation on a
short-term contract, private utilities
be permitted to purchase 100000
kilowatts of Federally-produced pow
er for each 100000 kilowatts of their
own generation. This would encour-
age both private and Federal new
starts, he stated.
at is our sincere belief" the let
ter said, 'that any contract signed
at this time would involve respon-
sibility on the part of private utili-
ties and public utilities, as well as
the Federal government, to sit down
and blueprint a program of priority
of construction that would insure the
unified and united support of all in
terests in the Pacific Northwest in
expanding our hydroelectric poten
tial."
REQUEST BASIC B.P.A. ACT BE
KEPT AS is
West averred that it is the As
sociation's belief that no contract
should change the basic Bonneville
Act. If there are provisions in the
Act that seem to be inequitable, he
suggested, thorough public discus
sions and hearings should be held and
any changes accomplished by legisla-
ton.
In making the contents of the let
ter public West said that the Inland
Empire Waterways Association does
not intend to take sides on the pub
lie VS.. private power question.

to live with public power, municipal

all concerned. The problem is to work

MCKAY ATTEMPTS
EXPLANATION

Mckay attempted an explanation
of the Federal governments retreat
as he withdrew petition of interven-
ton before the Federal Power Com
mission opposing the application of
the Idaho Power Company to build
the dam on the Snake River.
Mckay stated that future questions
like this would be answered individu-
ally, but this action of his heralded
the withdrawal of the Federal gov
eminent from the established
position that the power resources of
the nation belong to the people.
Much of the confusion attending
McKay's meeting with very inquisi-
tive press came from his inability to
clearly define his stand and to stick
to it. He indicated first that the
governors had not been brought in
to endorse Hells Canyon but they did
agree with the principle involved.
Yet Governor Pyle of Arizona
spoke up to say this decision applies
only to Hells Canyon and Mckay
dSISSQ Will It'll, IOO. w nCH etohCu
later if this was administration pol
icy, Mckay was eager to point out
that it was, but to confuse matters
again, he said it was not binding on
any other Interior decisions.
Deploring the power shortages in
the Pacific Northwest, Mckay used
this argument in favor of the profit
power company. He said one unit
of their project could be completed a
few years earlier in an area that
has stood for thousands of years
either dam.
Mckay intimated that the total
cost of Hells Canyon project would
be SIT billion, a figure which GER
5ainly would awe anyone by it's size.
However, the transparency of this
as an argument became abundantly |
clear later when he was asked why
the Idaho Power figures for their
smaller dams could be so much small
Ell (160 million). Mckay had to adj
nit that the Hells Canyon dams i'm

The agreement ends in 1857.
However, Wrigley said it's still
possible for the Stars to get an
extension "if they show me it's a
sound business proposition"
"If the established leagues are
having trouble" Wrigley added,
"it's difficult for me to conceive
how a new one could make a go

geles. But I'm willing to listen if
the Hollywood people can show

Green Bays four-yard line.
One play missed before Scar
bath took the ball over. The long
run made Scarbath-who had a
bad first half-the Redskins
leading ground-gainer of the
evening with 46 yards.
The Packers got their tally on
a 68-yard advance, featuring
Quarterback Babe Parilll's pass
ing and running. Bob Mann
saved the home team from a
shutout with a diving catch of
Parilli's 10-yard toss III the end
zone.
Second most effective man in
the Redskins backfield was Sam
Baker, Oregon State rookie.
Baker, after being in the dog
house for missing practice in
Chicago last Wednesday, chalked
up IS yards on 10 tries. But Sam
was even more effective as a
punter. His long, high punts
gave his teammates plenty of
time to get the receiver, and cne
punt was recovered when Glib
Dawson funbled a fair catch.
The Redskins played some
mighty hard football in holding
the Packers to 10 yards on the
