The committee earlier had approved- tentatively a proposal spend $250,000 to repair and improve the clty'i garbage disposal equipment, subject to a ruling on legality of the The funds were requested by Director of Streets and Sewers Frank Kriz who said the disposal plant! had deteriorated to the point at which garbage grinding equipment must be replaced. Because the garbage after grinding la flushed through the city's sewer system, Kriz had suggested that sewer funds could be used for replacement of plant machinery. The citizens' committee approved a request for $32,000 from park bond funds for improvement of that portion of River Des Peres Park along Rock Creek between Loughborough avenue and the Des Peres channel.

The work will consist, of clearing, grading, landscaping and fencing the strip. Is Becoming in Northwest perhaps best summed up by Parry when he said: "The high Hell's Canyon dam site is not the only not even the best site for a storage reservoir designed primarily for assistance to lower Columbia river projects. Public funds, if and when available, can be better used on a number of other sites. "When we find here these three projects (the low dams), with a much lower cost, which can be built Immediately by private enterprise and private funds, we are certainly increasing the possibility of the eventual public construction of other and better storage reservoirs. "And finally, there cannot be ignored the fact that along with the initial savings of taxpayers' money as to construction, our projects will contribute tax payments to the, states, to their taxing units and to the, Federal Government, about $450,000,000 during the license period.

"All of these things, and many more, qualify these three projects as the best adapted to a comprehensive plan for development of this particular waterway, and make it clear that the speedy granting of these licenses is very much in the public interest."

4 (AP) The colossus of Rhodes, one of the leven ancient wonders of the world, was described by a British scientist last night as a hollow sham. Herbert Maryon, 79-year-old aculptor-archaeolo-glst, told a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries the giant statute was: 1. Too small to staand astride the harbor of Rhodes. 2. Made of thin bronze sheets instead of solid bronze.

The statue, of the sun god Helios, was the work of a sculptor named Chares, who spent 12 years on his masterpiece. It was erected in 280 B.C. An earthquake tumbled it 53 years later. The story handed down through the years is that the statue itood with a beacon in its hands and one foot on each side of the harbor entrance, with enough clearance for ships to pass underneath. Maryon said he has determined from a study of classical inscriptions that the statue was in fact 120 feet high and the harbor 600 feet wide, which would make the famous straddle an anatomical impossibility.

COLLAPSES, DIES AT CHURCH Horace J. Poplow, S522 Era avenue, collapsed and died last night at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, 9513 Oriole avenue, where he had attended a novena service. He was pronounced dead at City Hospital. His wife, Mrs. Rose Poplow, said he had been under medical care for high blood pressure.

Poplow, a machinist, was 97 years old. KRISMAN-FREY VAIUE MICEO DIAMOND SET Fitnr Mitmtiit tnftetmtnt 'i 'PL tr at Ifttft at wUf. iVHH 7.DIAMONO TWOSOME tlIMt. tn.ritt.l iJd. mm.

But because the company lswell aware of the power short-m in Western Oregon and the State of Washington (west group Kthe so-called Northwest Pow-WIS Pool), the applicant could bSDd the three dams simultaneity ly if the Northwest Power Pgrjl would contract to take all tfig excess energy from these Gwn.1 until it is needed in the iSaho Power own system.

31. Under such an accelerates schedule, the first units of ttti Oxbow plant could be put "pn the line" in 20 months, and the entire three-dam project of 786,400 kilowatts installed capacity (available at. all times) add 900,800 peaking capacity (d4ak load) within 38 months. 12. No ojjt such interim hlfltk of power is available any-vgttre in so short a time, to help ttthe needs of Western Oregon 3 Washington.

i Disputed All the War. Counsel for the association djsputed with company spokes-njjji almost every inch of the wgjr, charging gross distortion of cent estimates, water depletion Wires, and other statistical data. A major point of difference, foT example, centered on the of the low dams as compared with the one high dam. MM "aid th cost of the Government'! 602-foot high dam would be about $358,000,000, but would rise to $429,000,000 when interest and other supplemental cails were figured. He said the 3ter available for storage behind the high dam would be depleted by irrigation needs, vjtji the result that the power oKput would be considerably leUened.

Such 'a reduced water tSUv into a project built for nitre water would result In a higher power -production cost than the Government contemplated, he said namely, 3.93 mills per kilowatt hour, contrasted with the company'! low dam estimate of 1.33 mills per kilowatt hour, aa the unit cost of output. This was warmly contested by association counsel. The contention was made under cross-examination that the company had "ballooned" federal costs while ihflnking its own cost estimates. Hogg also was challenged on his water depletion figures, Mrs. Cooper seeking to show that the Snake water flow was ample for both power production under the high dam plan and all irrigation needs.

Charges Distorted Estimates, She pointed out that any magnification of federal costs would lead to a distortedly high unit cost of electric output while under-estimating company costs would lead to an Inaccurate low unit cost estimate. The high dam, which would take from five to eight years to build, is generally pictured as capable of producing a third more power than the combined low dams. When President Roach, in testifying about the need for increased power production, spoke about an expected increase in industrial power consumption, attorneys for the association argued, on cross-examination, that Idaho has not had any large industrial growth. They contended that the company's high power rates have helped retard industrial expansion in Oregon and Washington. The company's application originally was for a 10-year construction program.

When Secretary McKay withdrew his department's objection to the application, explaining that although power was needed urgently for defense the Government had a severe budget problem, the company filed its alternate three-year construction program. This was based on the premise that Northwest industries and the Northwest Power Pool would consume the excess power of the new project. In cross-examination, doubt was expressed by the National Hell's Canyon Association that the pool or industry would trke the power surplus at the rate Idaho Power would probably charge a rate that opponents of the application say would be a high one. Northwest Power Pool. The Northwest Power Pool is an informal and voluntary association of public and private power producers banded together to exchange their power surpluses for better integration of power in the Northwest states.

Other witnesses included financial representatives who testified that eastern banking Interests were ready to provide private funds to finance the company project. Also in the witness chair were Mark R. Kulp, Idaho state reclamation engineer, and Harry M. Dewey, company consultant, who said irrigation needs would be greater than anticipated under the federal plan, with the result that the high dam would not have enough water to produce the power anticipated in plan. When Kulp, in support of this prediction, cited the great number of applications for water rights filed by irrigation farmers, Mrs.

Cooper asked how many of these applications eventually were pressed until granted. The answer was from 2 to 4 per cent over a 20-year period. Downstream Power Boost. Proponents of the single federal high dam say that it would produce 686,000 kilowatts of frlme power at the Hell's Canon damsite. They point out -that by releasing water from the 4,000,000 acre-root reservoir during autumn and winter when the Columbia river and its tributaries are low, power production will be substantially increased at all generators between Hell's Canyon and the sea.

Without Hell's Canyon dam, they state, the downstream dams will produce 2,830,000 kilowatts; with it, the output will lead to 3,952.000 kilowatts, a gain of 1,122,000 kilowatts. The 1,122.000 figure includes the 686,000 kilowatts of prime power at the damsite and 436,000 in boosted output of downstream dams. But Idaho Power has made clear that it will not accept these figures.

The company's dam designs, of the rock-fill type, were said to be Inappropriate; survey, design and preparatory work for the Brownlee and Hell's Canyon dams said to be Inadequate; engineering design said to have been made without benefit of stream-flow information and other similar considerations.

2. Company's estimate of the cost of the three low dams was made, application opponents said, without the benefit of firm price bids for materials and equipment; the -estimates for Brownlee and Hell's Canyon dams were said to be merely preliminary; and the company's estimate of $133,000,000 did not include transmission facilities which are estimated to cost exclusive of inter-connection with the Northwest Power Pool. 3. The offer of an engineering firm to build the three low dams for the company at the latter'! estimated cost is conditioned, opponents brought out, on the initiation of construction of all three dams within a year and their completion in about four years described by opponents as an "obvious impossibility." 4. With respect to the company's three-year accelerated construction program, opponents said this would be feasible only if surplus power output could be sold to the Northwest Power Pool or the Utah Power Light Co.

but it was pointed out that no contracts along this line have been made. 5. Company's contention about the insufficiency of water in the Snake river for the high-type dam said to be "flimsy," without adequate basis In land classification, irrigation planning, engineering and economic analyses. 6. The compay, it was further contended, arrived at an unreasonably1 long low-water period for measuring the prime power capabilities of its three dams compared to those of the high dam.

This was done, it was said, by "working backwards" from predetermined engineering plans and using "exaggerated" irrigation and "reduced" stream-flow assumptions. 7. In addition to making low estimates of the cost of its three low dams, the company spokesmen exaggerated the cost of the high-dam, according to opponents. 8. The private utility, it was alleged, has no interest in or understanding of a comprehensive basin-wide, multiple-purpose river development.

9. Opponents expressed doubt that the company really intends-to construct anything more than the Oxbow Dam, or at best. Oxbow and Brownlee. Even if the little Hell's Canyon dam is included, the net result would be less than full comprehensive development of the river basin, it was said. 10.

The company program would not make possible large phosphate development or large industrial development in Idaho, nor would it contribute significantly to the economic development of the Pacific Northwest, it was contended. During the hearings thus far, 3000 pages of testimony have been filled, adding up to 23 volumes. A total of 140 exhibits have been introduced, 120 of them by the company.
