shortage agreement with the U.S. until its impact on B.C. can  be  determined.
lie agreed with Representative Jack Wcstlund, (R-Wash-J ington). that Canada will want to market in the U.S. a considerable part of the Canadian share of the power resulting from the water storage pact.
lie said the Bonneville administration would "try to assist in selling the power' for them" even though the cost rate "might be twice as high established rates" in the. northwest states.
The water use agreement with Canada was brought into the committee's hearing on a request for S95.000.000 lo add electric generating facilities lo the plulonium producing reactor now under construction at the Ilanford atomic works in Washington at an estimated COSt  of $153,000,000.
The white water and rapids he loved Thursday claimed the life of 36-year-old Ernie Pement, B.C. Forest Service timber cruising superintendent.
He was drowned in a helicopter accident on the Fraser River 50 miles east of here.
Pement and Pacific Helicopters Ltd. pilot Bill Harvic were bringing  injured  logger Sterla
Roe to hospital here when the
helicopter    hit    an    unmarked
cable strung over the river.
Harvie said today. "I was worried about Roe getting out but
not Pement. He (Pemenl) loved
swift water; it was a challenge
to him. But now I don't think
he could swim."
MERCY   FLIGHT The  mishap turned  a mercy
flight   into   a   tragedy.   Harvie
and Pement were sent into the
Sinclair Mills area to take Roe
to  hospital  here.  He "had  suffered a broken ankle in a bush
accident.
"We   didn't  know   the  cable
was there and we didn't see it
until   we   were   about   20   feet
away," Roe said today from his
hospital  ibed.   He  and  Pement
did not notice the cable when
they  passed  under  it  by  boat
<>arlicr in the week and Harvie
did  not  see  it   when  he � flew
over   the   area   prior   to   the
accident Thursday.
"Harvie tried to drop the machine  but  the  cable�which  is
about 50 feet above rapids in a
a  canyon�hit  the   top  of the
''bubb'e"   and   we   w.ent   into
the water," said 'Roe.
There was no marking on the cable,   according   to   the   B.C.
Forest  Service.  It  was  of  the
type used for ferrying logs and equipment across the river.
When the helicopter hit the water, Pement and Roe got out almost immediately, the injured man said today. "I went out through the hole in the top and Ernie came up about five feet away. I started for shore taut was caught in a whirlpool and turned around. Ernie was splashing around about 15 fee away." WAS  PINNED
Harvie was apparently pii ned momentarily by an insln incut console and went dow with the aircraft. He freed hln self eventually and made thorough check of the inside c the helicopter lo make sure h passengers had escaped befor lie surfaced.
He was com mended today b. District Forester Al Dixon. Mi Dixon described Harvie's ac tlons as "a terrific feat," addin "You  have  to see  that stretc
BILL HARVIE . . . heroism
of water to appreciate what h
did.  It's just as  bad  as  Hell' Gale in  the Fraser Canyon."
Moc said that he was caugh in a second whirlpool and b the lime he managed to read shore�about 300 feet away "Ernie was a couple of hundrec feet away and 'being carried downriver."
He said Harvie didn't come up until I was almost ashore. The pilot had grabbed a gas drum for support and reached shore a mile from Roe after �being in the water 25 minutes "If Bill hadn't managed to rab the drum he would have drowned. He was exhausted when he landed and I could see him sprawled on the beach, too tired to move for almost an hour,"
Harvie then got up and battled his way two miles through heavy bush lo a logging camp to get a boat for Roe, who was unable to walk.
