Morse Comments
Meanwhile, commenting on re-

sternly-worded note to Russia
urging that peace talks "be
started promptly" in New York.
The note, which was turned
over to Russia's United Nations
representative Friday in New
York for transmission to Moscow.
had the effect of rejecting Rus
sian suggestions to hold the talks
either in Tokyo or Moscow.
It said Russia had agreed on
February IA to accept Japan's
choice Of a site and Japan finds
1t difficult to comprehend the
real intention of the Soviet Union
in proposing change Of the site

The two nations, who remain
technically at war because Russia

The Federal Power Commits
sion issued a three-year pre-
liminary permit to Pacific North
west Power Co., Portland. Ore,

on the Snake River in Idaho
and Oregon.
One is known as the Noun
tain Sheep dam, the other as
Pleasant Valley. The total gen.
Grating capacity would be $780,.
600 kilowatts.
Both dams involve sites at

a four-dam development of the
middle Snake River and its
tributaries.

sued to give the holder priority
