HeNs Canyon Project
To oPriyafe Utilities
BY the Asseeiusss press

The Eisenhower administra-
ton has decided to sidetrack
public, in favor of private de-
velopment Of a big Western wa
ter project and congressional re-
action ranges from approval to
turn the rascals out"
Secretary of the Interior Nc
Kay, making the announcement
yesterday. said the administra-
ton will allow private enterprise
to develop hydroelectric power
wherever possible so long as it
does not interfere with proper
development of natural re-
sources"
Mr.. Mckay told a news con-
ference he has decided to set
aside. at least for the present.
plans for a $500 million Federal
dam at Hells Canyon along the
Oregon-Ida border. The de-
partment. he said, will no longer
oppose a substitute proposal by
the privately owned Idaho Power
Co. to build for $23 million the
first of three dams on the Snake
River in the same area.
The Federal Power Commission
has the actual say as to whether
the power company can go ahead.
Mr.. McKay's Democratic pred
ecessor, Oscar L. Chapman, had
actively opposed the utility's ap-
plication to FPC on the grounds
it would block the Hells Canyon
project forever. Secretary Nc
Kay, terming his decision part
Of the policy Of this administra-
tion," said the Interior Depart
ment would give the commission
all available information and
abide by its decision.
Asked if he was considering
abandoning the idea of q Federal
project at Hells Canyon, he re-
piled, Gould be-"
Even if Congress should sau-
thorize the Hells Canyon dam,
the Secretary said, I'm view of
the efforts to balance the budget,
it appears doubtful that appro-
priations for the work could be
justified now"
He added that each similar
case in the future should be con-
sidered ION its own merits"

among the many visitors to the
city are diabetes who must carry
hypodermic equipment, but
might not know they needed a
certificate.
Forfeiture Curb Opposed.
Both Commissioner Spencer
and Municipal Court Judge
Frank H. Myers, who appeared
with Municipal Court Judge
Mary c. Barlow, opposed a Sen
ate section to permit forfeiture
of collateral only when the Of
fense is punishable exclusively
by a fine. They pointed out that
drunks and those charged with
parking violations would not be
allowed to forfeit collateral -
thereby putting tremendous bur-
den on the courts.
Judge Laws requested the ad-
dition Of a section giving Num-
cipal Court Jurisdiction where
the value of property stolen or
embezzled amounts to 5000. This
would raise the limit from the
present $50. The committee
agreed that imitation has
changed values, and they indi-
Gated they would go along with
the proposal.
Judge Myers, on the question
Of Jurisdiction, suggested a num-
ber of changes to enlarge the
powers of Municipal Court. par
ticularly when the proposed leg
iSlation would vest the original
jurisdiction in Municipal Court
and provide for subsequent ac-
ton by District Court.
He also proposed increasing
the penalty for f1rst-offense in
toxication from 500 or 30 days
to 500 or 80 days. He explained
that higher penalties could now
be meted out for second or third
offenses. but prosecutors are
charging defendants only with
first offenseS, even though they
have been coming into court
regularly for intoxication for the
last 80 years.
Records Elusive.
He said the prosecutors told
him it is almost impossible to get
an accurate record on an ac-
cused drunk because they are not
fingerprinted and use aliases.
With minor alterations, Mr..
Rover and Commissioner Spencer
indorsed nearly 80 other provis-
ions of the bill. Both. however,
questioned the Constitutionality
of a Senate proposal to tighten
the bribery statute.
All the witnesses indorsed the
proposed Council on Law En-
forcement but suggested it should
include a representative of the
Washington Bar Association. the
organization of Negro lawyers
Judge Myers said District Court.
Municipal Court and Juvenile
Court each should have a repre-
sentative because their problems
differ.
