Then would come the Arrow Lakes project at Castlegar, nea the B.C.-U.S. border, to be fol lowed by the controversial Libb. :1am project in Montana, crcat ng a huge reservoir bclweci Montana and B.C.
Canadian negotiators have frowned on the Libby because i would set the Canadian Kootenay liver flow into a fixed patten vhich would prevent its rcclian idling into the Columbia in fu ure years.

MAN NOT 1st IN LINE
Wken Brains Werz Passed Out.
WASHINGTON id1) � Recent research indicates, a scientist says, that dolphins "are at least equal of, if not superior to, man in brain power."
Dr. John C. Lilly, of the communications research institute at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, has been exploring the intelligence of dolphins � also known as porpoises � in
conjunction with the U.S. Navy.
Yilly said here Monday the dolphin's brain has as many cells per unit area as a man's.
Whether that means dolphins are at least as intelligent as man, Lilly's not yet prepared to say � principally for lack of common ground by which to compare the IQs of man and dolphin.
Dolphins not only indicate
 have a language for com-municatiug with one another, blIt they also mimic human V01Cc sounds at times. Lilly V0Wi that one dolphin accur-Bjf1' imitated him saying ih^e-twenty-three."
D'Phins have developed a far fancier and more exact son? system � for detecting andrccognizing other objects ~ 'an man has developed Wlt'all his electronic aids.
"Here's an alien species," Lilly said, "having at least the potential of being our equal in intelligence.
"Our work with them may give us a kindergarten course in how to deal with extra-ter-restial beings, if there are any. The Dolphins, themselves might be classified as non-lerrcsetial beings, and we have not yet learned to deal with them."
OTTAWA (CP) � Canada's unemployment dropped sharply between mid-April and mid-May to 399,000 on May 21 as an above-normal 250,000 persons found jobs in the period, the government estimated today.
More than half of the decline in unemployment from 517,000 on April 23 occurred in Quebec.
The mid-May total was 65,000 higher than the 334,000 unemployed a year earlier.
The report by the bureau of statistics said the number of persons with jobs increased by 250,-000 in the month period to 5,992.000. This was 140,000 higher than the year-earlier figure of 5,852,000. RISE LARGER
The rise in employment was larger than the increase in the corresponding periods of the last two years, the bureau said, and followed a small gain of only 74,000 in numbers of job-holders in the previous month.
Most of the new hiring took place in seasonal industries.
Farm employment rose to 675,-000 from the April 23 level of 641,000. Non-farm employment increased to 5,317,000 from 5,-101,000.
Unemployment on May 21 represented 6.2 per cent of a labor force of 6,391,000 as compared with the year-earlier level of 5.4 per cent when the labor force totalled 6,186,000.
The government also reporlcd today that 634,891 persons were registered for jobs at National Employment Service offices on May 19. This represented a drop of 152.364 from a month earlier, but was 49,402 higlicr than a year earlier.
NOT ACCURATE    J
The NBS registrations figure is not considered an accurat gauge of unemployment since i includes an unknown number o persons seeking to change job and others who have found work on their own since registering.
The bureau of statistics csti mate, based on a labor force stir vey of 30,000 hdusehould, said employment in Quebec rose more than usual for the riionth while in British Columbia it was bclov normal. In other regions, em ploymcnt gains were about equa to the seasonal average.
