Dorman Stuck With the Bill as Public Works Halts Audits
The Board of Public Works challenged the legality of private audits begun by the Board of Control amid Democratic criticism calling it a witch hunt. President Theodore T. Dorman faces a $2,500 unpaid audit bill for Pinecrest Sanitarium, with possible further bills awaiting payment. The halt forces Gov Underwood to consider using the contingent fund or risk leaving Dorman exposed as he gathers statements for the Attorney General W. W. Barron to justify payments.

Senate Okays Power Dam Bill in Senate Victory
The Senate passed the Hells Canyon bill by a seven vote margin, approving a federal dam on the Snake River border of Idaho and Oregon. Five Republicans joined Democrats to move the measure to the House, despite Eisenhower administration opposition and tax-benefit debates. The vote 45 to 43 sparked cheers in galleries as public power advocates scored a major gain against private interests. POTTER condemned the move as civil rights traded for the dam, while Morse denied the charge and defended the bill as a stand against political immorality in resource policy.
