(U.P. Telephoto) . (D-Ore- .), RICHARD B. LAIVEY SALT LAKE CITY (UP) Sen. .) Morse criticized Wayne Upper Colorado River Storage Project supporters Saturday for not backing a high dam at Hells Canyon. He also warned that the coming j vote on legislation to authorize a high dam at Hells Canyon "probably wiH be the last chance to save this damsite for full development In the public interest."" "It is time or the American people to demand of their government that it place the welfare of our boys and girls of the future ahead of the selfish privateering interest of monopolies such as the Idaho Power Co., the Utah Power and Light Co., and other private utility monopolies which would place their profit interests above the public interest," he said. Morse told the concluding session of the two-daWestern States Water and Power Conference that "Hells Canyon is the symbol of a people's determination to resist underdevelopment for quick profit and the perpetration of monopoly. If that symbol is destroyed, the forces of profit plunder will know no bounds." The fiery Oregon Democrat also asked "Why do so many partisans of the Upper Colorado project who received such a sympathetic hearing turn a deaf ear to those who helped them, when the (D-Ore- y same principles are involved?" Part of the answer, he said, "is to be found in the fact that the Upper Colorado project Was hot attractive to private utilities. Because Utah has no rural electric most of the power will go to Utah Power and Light Co., which apparently will not thus be tainted by 'socialistic' kilowatts." Sen. Arthur V. Watkins had said earlier Saturday that "Sen. Morse.i and I are on opposite seeable future, we will not be able to get the public money that we co-op- s. h) lorado project." Watkins praised the Eisenhower administration reclamation policies and. went on to say that "Barring an armistice in the cold war which.' does not seem likely appropriations for. public works will face continuing and intensive compeitition with other important governmental activities and with heavy defense costs." "In other words," he said, "the chances are good that in th fore- - Strike May Delay First Atomic Blast LAS VEGAS, Nev.
