No. 2 Candidates
Both vice presidential candi
dates hit the campaign trail yes
terday. Vice President Nixon
scheduled three appearances in
Texas and Sen. Estes Kefauver,
Stevenson's running mate, sought
votes in New Jersey and New
Hampshire.
During a busy day in Deleware
Monday, Kefauver said that Cl)
most American women will vote
Democratic this year in protest
of what he called “the high cost
of living,” and (.2* any instances
of wrongdoing in the Democratic
Party in the past are “infinitesi
mal” compared to what he termed
Eisenhower “giveaways.”

Stevenson’s Record
Is Columbus, Ohio, Postmaster
Genera] Arthur Summerfield at
tacked Stevenson’s record as gov
ernor of Illinois, saying it was
marked by many scandals.
“Certainly,” Summerfield said,
“his (Stevenson’s) one single,
short term in elective office . . .
reflected no credit on his ability
to manage, no credit on his zeal
in demanding integrity; no credit
on his wisdom in exposing the
men about him.”
Small Bu^wcsgcs
In Washington, the Democratic
National Committee’s advisory
committee on small business said
small businessmen are in revolt
against the administration.
A statement said “small and
independent business people . . .
have learned for themselves the
bitter expedience of trying to sur
vive an administration w\hiph de
votes itself almost exclusively to
creating special favors for the
huge corporate empires."

Appeals Court
Upholds Power Co.
At Hells Canyon
WASHINGTON, (R—The U. S.
Court of Appeals today upheld
legality of the Idaho Power Com
pany’s construction license for
three dams in Hells Canyon.
The court turned down a re
quest by public power groups
that a license granted by the Fed
eral Power Commission (FPC> be
set aside and the stretch of the
Snake River along the Idaho
Oregon border be reserved for a
bigger government dam.
The next step in the long and
bitter fight between private and
public power advocates—a prime
political issue in the Pacific North
west—is certain to be an appeal
to the Supreme Court.
Attorneys for the National JVUs
Capyon Assn, and other public
power groups opposing Idaho
Power Co. have said they would
take the case to the Supreme.
Court if they lost in the Jower
court.
The Supreme Court took a hand
in the case last August when Jus
tice Black dismissed a motion to
stop construction of one of the
.three dam* involved. Black al
lowed Idaho Power to put up a
bond and give written assurances
that it wobjd pot sue the govern
ment it its construction license
later wepe voided by the courts.
After a year-long hearing, the
FPC gaye Idaho Power its license
ipst jrear .tp"4>uild three projects
the pompany estimates would cost
£133 million and add nearly &0O,
DOd kilowatts of generating capac
ity to its po-vyer system.
