Hells Canyon Wins Senate OK
The Senate approved the Hells Canyon dam bill by 45 to 38, a major victory for public power advocates and a defeat for the Eisenhower administration. Five Republicans joined Democrats to pass the measure, which would authorize a 500 million dollar dam on the Snake River near Idaho and Oregon, flooding sites of three smaller Idaho Power dams.
