SUBCOMMITTEE APPROVAL OF HELLS
CANYON Bill LAUDED BY MORSE

WASHINGTON, d. (NRECA)
Legislation authorizing federal
high dam at Hells Canyon was APP
proved by Senate subcommittee last
week, sent to the full Senate Interior
Committee, and is expected to be ia
vorably reported by the full commit
tee to the Senate floor soon.
Sen. Wayne Morse (Ore.), author
of the proposed legislation to author
ize federal development of the full
potential of the Middle Snake River,
rather than partial development as
proposed by the Idaho Power Com
pany, commented:
'The favorable vote of the Senate
Interior Reclamation subcommittee
on the Hells Canyon bill was greatly
gratifying. The Hells Canyon Dam
is indispensable to the full develop
ment of the natural resources of the
Columbia River Basin, but it is not of
regional significance Alone" he said.
Every section of the country
has vital interest in economic ex-
pansion of the Pacific Northwest
that the Hells Canyon project
would make possible. Without high
Hells Canyon it would not be pos
sible to develop cheap phosphate
fertilizer, which would save farm
ers in the Midwest and West from
$40 to $18 per ton on such fertiliz-
err.
"The opponents Of the Hells Can
yon Dam wouldha We people outside
the Pacific Northwest believe that
the project would create a tax burden
upon them. This is not the case. The
project will pay for itself in power
revenues as is the case of other multi
purpose dams in the Columbia River
Basin. Of even greater significance is
,he fact that by creating new wealth,
new profits, and new jobs, it would |
expand the tax revenues in the u. S. |
Treasury many times over the cost
If the project"
A source close to the subcommittee
'eported that the final vote was three
n favor, one opposed and one alb
tention. Those voting in favor of the
Iells Canyon project included Sena-

CANADA'S ANTI-P0LIO FIGHT
ORDERLY, BASED ON PLANNING

OTTAWA-(CNS) -Canada's an
ti-polio program stands in sharp con-
trast to the bungling of DR.. Jonas
Salk's remarkable discovery in the
u. S.
Not until April II did the Canadian
government know whether the Salk
vaccine would be effective. But after
mass tests last summer in the u. S.,
it figured the serum might be effec-
tive. So the Dominion Council of
Health laid its plans last fall, just in
case six months ahead of the his
toric announcement.
Toronto University laboratories
were given the job of making the
vaccine. The government agreed to
buy all of it at SOC shot. This COM
pares with the prevailing cost of $1.20
a shot that U. S. drug firms charge.
Then the government laid plans
to immunize everyone up to "a years
of age-without charge. This will
mean 100000 people.

This is perennial "box car short

offices are being flooded with wires
detailing the shortage in various COM

pressing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to divert more cars to

Many excuses, no boxcars.

James E. Murray that:

ration has tied up 1000 cars loaded
with grain, due to failure of certain
boats at certain ports;
2. .oThere is a truck strike in IL
western states and freight ordinarily
moving by truck now moves by rail;
8. "There is big demand for lum-
Der cars on the west coast;
A. "Throughout the nation there is
a heavy movement of freight;
and 5. here he gets to the nub of
the problem answer is that
there are not sufficient cars"
Too, many cars of Northwest rail-
roads are tied up on other lines.
One CCC official who has been
dealing with this problem for years
was strong in his condemnation of
the railroads for not increasing and
adequately replacing its rolling stock.
The ICC has diverted cars to the
