PLANTOHARNESS
FALLSEFLOUTED
BYU.S. ENGINEER
Col. Kelley Doubts Feast
bility of Project Out
lined by Levering.

Doubt as to, the feasibility of the.
plan of J. II. Levering, Los Angeles
engineer, for Harvesting Great Falls,
was expressed yesterday by Lieut..
Col. William Kelley, chief engineer
of the Federal Power Commission.
assigned from the Engineer Corps
of the army.
Col. Kelley said he, was not famil-
lar with the Levering project, but
understood 1t called for specially
constructed type OF earth filled dam
with almost vertical sides and a
thin sheathing of steel and con-
crete to hold the earth in place.
81 do not know anything, about
Levering's engineering ability" said
Kelley, ''but II he is an engineer at
all, he ought to know that this type
of dam would not Withstand the
in the spring Of the year"
: Must Withstand Floods.
Any dam constructed across the
Potomac, Col. Kelley said. must be
built to Withstand overtopping
floods. When huge cakes of float
ing ice and big tree trunks come
sweeping down the Potomsc. he
said. they would go over the top
of the dam but their weight would
force them down on the lower side
into contact with the wall of the
dam and IL would quickly be ripped
open and the dam would go out.
Col. Kelley also took issue with
the stability of the thin sheets of
| protecting steel and concrete with
which Levering would encase the
dam. II the sides of the dam were
| given a greater slant instead OF
being almost vertical. the colonel
said, the steel walls would stand a
better chance. but with the pres
sure Of the water without and the
! earth within the walls would soon
| bulge out and break.
Similar Project Failed.
Col. Kelley cited the case of a
similar dam in the Yuba River in
California which went out with the
/ first flood. He said the report OF
the army engineers, now engaged in
a survey of the project under the
authorization of the Power Commits
sion, probably would be in the
hands of the commission some time
next week. The commission then
| would draw up its recommendations
and submit them to Congress with
the engineers report by the first
of the year, as authorized by Con
gress.

The biggest defense victory yet
scored In the case Of Jules tNicky)
Arnstein and his alleged associates

''Nicky."
These confessions were obtained
by Assistant District Attorney John

Iy after the investigation into the
bond robbery got under way. Attor-
neys William ]. Fallon, counsel for
Arnstein, and T. Morris wampler,
counsel for Easterday, Bowles and
Sullivan, contended, in a motion to
exclude the confessions, that they
were obtained by Dooling under
false promise of immunity to the
three last-named defendants.
Justice Gould upheld the attor-
neys for the defense and ruled that
these confessions were unlawfully
obtained and could not be admitted
to the record or read.

To support the charge that these
confessions were unlawfully OBJ

stand and testified that Dooling not

immunity, but had personally guar
anteed him (wampler) that he
would use his Influence not to have
them sent to prison.
This promise, Wampler said. was
absolute and could not be construed
as meaning anything else. After
this assurance was given to my

said. During the war we were
asked to shoulder the burden with
the rest of the people. Are we to
