Helena Girl Killed in Car Wreck Near Helena
A Helena teenager died at St John Hospital after injuries from a weekend car crash near the city outskirts. Esther Anthony, 14, daughter of C. R. Anthony, died around 9 pm after arriving with critical injuries including a smashed pelvis and internal damage. A Civil Air Patrol plane carried her parents from Kalispell to Helena, but they reached the hospital after her death. Four other youths were injured in related crashes, including Gay Cunningham, 14, daughter of Alex Cunningham, who remains hospitalized with serious injuries and a possible broken arm. The accident scene involved multiple juveniles from Helena and Great Falls, with several hospitalized at St James and Community Memorial. The day’s incidents also included a near-drowning rescue of 17-month-old Gregg Micheletti in Silver Bow Creek. The incidents brought the week’s Montana traffic deaths to 137.

Senators Delay D Ewart Action
Washington senators stalled the nomination of Wesley A. D Ewart to be assistant secretary of the interior as the committee faced repeated objections and possible adjournment. Supporters say they have not abandoned hope while the nomination could die without Senate action or a recess appointment by the president. D Ewart has served as interim assistant secretary since last October amid fallout from the 1954 campaign and accusations over campaign literature.

The United States canceled its December offer to fund the $1.3 billion Aswan high dam project in Egypt. The State Department said developments in seven months made Egypt unable to share the financial burden, clearing the way for Soviet aid if offered.

Ike Scores Major Victory Over Democratic Leaders
The Senate rejected the Hells Canyon Dam bill by 51 to 41, giving the Eisenhower administration a clear victory over Democratic leaders and public power advocates. Eight Southern Democrats joined 43 Republicans to defeat the bill, while only two Republicans voted for it. The vote ends a long, bitter fight over federal authorization for a Snake River dam, contrasting with the administration backed plan for three private Idaho Power Co. dams. The debate featured impassioned speeches with claims of political pressure and resource needs.

Power Resource Problem Must Be Solved
Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rickover told the House Appropriations Committee that the nation faces a looming power crisis unless atomic energy can be developed. He warned civilization could change in a generation if dwindling resources persist, noting atomic power could yield the energy of 50 pounds of coal from one pound of rock, but costs must fall with experience. He doubted atomic power would compete with conventional sources for about 10 years due to high current costs.
