u. 5. Will Continue
Building Big Dams
In West, Mckay Says
BY The Associated Press

CHICAGO. Mar. IS. - Secre-
tary of the Interior Mckay said
last night the Government will
continue to build big. multiple
purpose dams in the West. but
win encourage private industry
to undertake smaller projects.
Some day, Mr.. Mckay proph-
esied, the United States may get
power from the atom and even
power from the sun. He said he
expects hydroelectric power to
be the cheapest in his and his
children's lifetimes, however.
Mr.. Mckay outlined his de-
partment's attitude toward the
controversial Hells Canyon dams
in Idaho and the Upper Colorado
River project at news confer
ence and in an address to the
American Power Association.
He said the Eisenhower ad-
ministration wants to work in
partnership with local groups
and private industry in develop
ment of water resources.
I'VE believe the people should
do for themselves what they can
do. They shouldn't be running
to the Federal Government for
funds" he said
Big Jobs for Government.
But. he went on, the admin
stration believes the Federal
Government should build the big,
multiple purpose dams - like
those in the Upper Colorado
River Project-because of their
expense.
The Department of the In
terror has recommended con-
struction of a gigantic project
to develop the Upper Colorado
basin despite opposition from
conservationists to a proposed
dam in Echo Park, where bones
of prehistoric dinosaurs are To-
Gated. President Eisenhower
last week announced his ap-
prevail of the plan.
Mr.. Mckay told the associa-
ton:
When ! must decide between
the water needs of the people
in the area and the beauty of
the scenery. I'll decide for the
peoples needs"
The Secretary emphasized.
however. that the decision does
not set a precedent for future
projects. He said each project
would be decided on its own
merits.
Hands OF" Hells Canyon.
He said his department has
adopted a hands off" policy on
the Hells Canyon development
on Idaho's Snake River.
During the Truman admins
tration the Interior Department
recommended building a $3.50
million high-level dam on the
Snake River. The Idaho Power
Co. wants to build three less
expensive low-level dams instead.
Mr.. Mckay stated emphat-
ically that the administration
would not scuttle the reclama-
ton program or the Bonneville

Tense Stories
Are Paired In
Screen Feature

Out of the night and the brood
ing fog that beclouds an Oriental
port a ghostly swimmer draws
close to the rope-ladder dangling
from an anchored ship, clutches
it and exhaustedly draws himself
up the ship rail. He has been OBJ
served, and is drawn aboard BY q
restless, hallow-eyed captain whom
sleep has deserted, and who is
standing on the lonely deck.
The man is fugitive from a
killing on another ship, similarly
anchored out there, half hidden by
the fog. He is pursued ~ and
thus is created the dramatic situa-
ton in s'The Secret Sharer.r This
picture is adapted from i novelette,
by Joseph Conrad and forms one
half of the dual theme film
brought to the screen under the IT,
tie Face to Face" a Huntington
Hartford production distributed by
RKO Radio.
James Mason is starred in this
half-a-feature thriller, the drama
which centers around the strug-
gle of the captain to prevent a man
being sacrificed to what he believes
to be an unjust and too-literal APP
plication of the law, with his ships
crew and the commander from the
strange vessel an ever-threatening
foe. The tension grows as the pre-
sure increases, until it is resolved
in a well-nigh insupportable climax.
Gene Lockhart and Michael Pate
are featured in the all-male cast
of ''The Secret Sharer," which was
directed by John Brahm from a
screen adaptation by Aeneas Mac
Kenzie.
''The Bride Comes To Yellow
Sky" the second half of "Face to
Face" is based on a story by the
noted writer, Stephen Crane. This
is comedy, not without its threat
ening moments when the tanner
processes of law.and-order relen-
lessly overwhelm the picturesque
shooten-up rule of a colorful sur.
vivor of pioneer days. Robert Pres
ton is starred in this border epi-
sode, which introduced Marjorie
Steel as the bride and Minor Wat
son as the well loved ''bad man. "
Bretaigne Windust directed from a
script by James Agee.
Coming as they do from stories
by two of the worlds leading novel
lists, these two featurettes COM
bine into an ideal screen attrac-
ton for those who are drawn to
the better type of material in their
screen entertainment.

Imprint On Pillow
OF Slain Woman

CLEVELAND R - The county
coroner testified today that he
found the imprint of surgical in
strument on the pillow beneath the
head Of the slain Marilyn Shep-
pard.
DR.. Samuel r. Gerber, the cor
oner, said the imprint and the
blood stain were on the under side
of the pillow.
He testified that after Marilyn's
body was removed 81 turned over
the pillow at the head of the bed
and found a blood stain on the
opposite side of the pillow, large
blood stain. On that side of the
pillow was the imprint of an
instrument, surgical instru.
ment."
The coroner testified at the mur-
der trial of DR.. Samuel II. Shep-
pard. The osteopath, a neuro- sur
geon, is charged with bludgeoniag
to death his wife, Marilyn, in her
bed July 4 in a quarrel over his
love affairs with other women.
Sheppard insists a bushy haired
intruder killed his wife.
The murder weapon never has
been found.
This was the first time that the
state has given any indication that
1t has a theory about the missing
murder weapon.
The grey haired bespectacled
little coroner held up the bloody
pillow in court and showed large
blood spot divided by a blank
white space.
He said the area in between
the two stains appeared to have
been left by a surgical instrument
with two blades, with an indenta.
ton at the end of each blade
impression.
Gerber said when he first saw
the pillow. . bloodstained area on
the bottom side was doubled in
q bunch underneath the pillow.

Good Cast
The cast is well-choSen and han
die their assignments with ease.
Unfortunately, the. elaborate
scene changes necessitated by the
size of the Barn, take too long,
but no one seemed to mind the de.
lays and the cast was called back
for several curtains calls at the
end of the play.
The technical staff is to be con-
graduated on their work, and with
more practice on the part of the
high school drama class acting as
stage crew, the delays between
scenes should be cut to a mini.
mum.
Mary and Wes Olson as stage
managers handled the sound eff

ance of Drake Circle.

Frank Pennington designed the
set and the portraits that play an
important part in the action are
the work of Burt Garnett.
Helen Thielen and Isadore Bow

Betty Cissal was in charge of
the wardrobe and when she wasn't
on stage, Gertrude Byrns acted as
prompter. Dee Jason was respon-
sible for the makeup and Lee God
dard handled the box office.
"Ophelia's" program notes were
as amusing as any she has writ
ten and added much to the interest
in the play.
The Barn survived Saturdays de,

was dry and comfortable last
