Because President Eisenhower's interests tend naturally to foreign policy, most of the work curtailment has come in the field of domestic affairs. One result is that he plays little part in the early stages of formulating policy.

As FPC replaced the Administration as the center of Northwest controversy, the beneficiary was Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, who has modified the policies of his predecessor, Douglas McKay, and quietly stolen some thunder from Northwest Democrats. Last week all eyes turned to Seaton's suggestion for a $274 million multipurpose dam at Pleasant Valley instead of at Nez Perce. FPC and many powermen have opposed it because it would be above the Salmon and Imnaha Rivers, thus store much less water than Nez Perce. It would also flood out the lowest Hells Canyon dam that Idaho...
