Private Utilities Accused In Report House Committee Endorses Report WASHINGTON (UP)—A Demoera tic-controlled House committee endorsed today a controversial report accusing private utilities of trying to ‘•brainwash” Interior Department officials into opposing public power. The report charged that a group of Rocky Mountain power companies gaye interior officials a pamphlet of ‘ professional private power propaganda” in the guise of “factual information.” The House Government Operations Committee endorsed the report, which was approved by a subcommittee Feb. 27 over vigorous Republican objections. The GOP members issued a minority report accusing the Democrats of descending to “insult and vilification” and of trying to “make something of nothing" to discredit private power compatfies and boost public power programs. The controversy concerned a booklet prepared by five Rocky Mountain utilities in collaboration

With Ebasco Services Inc., a New York engineering service firm. The report said the utilities gave copies of the booklet in 1953 to then Secretary of Interior Douglas R. McKay and some of his key aides shortly after they took office. It said the booklet was in semianonymous form and contained "inaccurate, incomplete, distorted and otherwise deceptive information which could only have been calculated to mislead the officials to whom it was directed.” “It was obviously designed to ‘brainwash’ the new Interior Department officials and to create or strengthen in them a sense of hostility to the federal power program as it then existed,” the report said. Fred C. Gardner, president of Ebasco, denied the charges in a statement in New York. He said the “information we prepared is factual, accurate and was compiled largely from published government sources.” Republicans called the majority report “a poorly contrived effort to make a case for more federally sponsored power facilities at the expense of the investor - owned utilities.” “The five Rocky Mountain electric companies did nothing more than exercise their constitutionally protected right to speak freely,” they said. The GOP members said Fred G.

Scientists Create Miniature Storms Seeking Secrets Os Costly Hurricanes CHICAGO (UP)— Scientists are creating miniature "hurricanes” in a dishpan to help weathermen fathom the secrets of the damaging storms. Two University of Chicago researchers Said Wednesday night the baby hurricanes are only one ten-millionth the size dt the real thing, but they share many of the same features. The scientists, Dave Fultz, associate professor of meteorology, and Robert Kaylor, research assistant, spoke at the American Meteorological Society convention. The two said they constructed a model "ocean” utilizing a 16-inch dishpan containing 2% inches of water. The pan then is rotated at one-half revolution per minute. The motion represents the earth's rotation, they said, and the pan’s width simulates 500 miles. The water’s thickness, in scale, duplicates an atmosphere of 60,000 feet. The finishing touches are put on the device with a small electric heater in the center of the pan and a jacket of circulating cold water along the rim. They said this simulates the temperature conditions of hurricanes. The result is a small hurricane complete with an "eye,” or vortex, which becomes slightly funnelshaped, and a fast swirl of water corresponding to high winds A camera, rotating at the same, speed as the pan, is used to photograph the relative motions of the model hurricane, they said. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — they bring results.
