Construction of TippeCanoe
Projects Removes Danger
Engineers Say.

Indiana has two major hydro
electric power dams, which together
impound more water than was
backed up behind the st. Frances
dam when it collapsed, spreading
death and destruction over a sixty
mile path in California this week,
but there is no danger Of Hoosier
cities suffering such a catastrophe
The two dams are the Oakdale
and Norway power projects of the
Indiana Hydro Electric Power Com
pany a few miles apart on the Tip
pecanoe River in the western part
of the State.
Larger Than st. Francis
The California dam held back
$4,000 acre feet or twelve billion gal
Ions of water. The Norway dam
impounds 1900 acre feet of water
in lake ten miles long and from
500 feet to a quarter Of mile wide.
The Oakdale dam walls up $4,000
acre feet of water in a body ten
miles long and from 1000 feet to
five-eights of a mile wide. Together
they control $4,000 acre feet of
water.
The construction of the dams and
the nature of the territory in which
they are located, however, make a
repetition of the California catas-
trophe, or anything remotely like it,
impossible, F. A Dale, hydro electric
engineer of the power company,
with offices at 903 Wild Bank Bldg,
said.
OakdaIe SIS Feet High
The Oakdale dam is fifty-f1ve feet
high and 1900 feet long. The St.
Frances dam was 1876 feet high and
1850 feet long, combining the enor-
nous body of water in far deeper
and narrower limits and thereby
making it immeasurably more de-
structive, potentially, than the In
diana projects, Dale pointed out.
The comparatively fiat terrain in
which the Indiana dams are built
made it possible to build them far
more safely than the California
project.
The Oakdale dam consists Of the
enormous concrete flood gates and
power plant, with long stretches of
earthen rampartS on either side.
Earth Around Concrete
The earthen works have center
wall of heavy concrete running deep
into the earth to. prevent seepage
and provide a backbone to resist
pressure of the wafer.
The flood gates are capable Of
releasing in a steady flow twice as
much flood water as ever has been
recorded in the Tippecanoe River.
The earthen walls taper from a
width of 270 feet at the base to a
few feet at the top. With such an
enormous base, water pressure never
could break down the wall, engi-
neerS say.
To make doubly sure the power
company keeps engineers and com
petent inspectors constantly on the
alert for seepage.
Construction Of the Norway dam
is similar to the Oakdale.

HOUSE BL OCKED
ON RADIO BILL
IN Time RACE
Dill Proposes New Plan to
Break Deadlock Be-
fore Midnight.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, March 49,
Equalization of service rather than
physical reallocation of stations has
been proposed by Senator Dill as
one way out of the chaos threatened
through House revision of Dill's
radio measure by adoption of the
Davis amendment.
With the conferees scheduled to
thresh out the radical differences in
the two bills Friday, Dill has sug-
gested that stations in less favored
zones be given greater power and
more favorable wave lengths.
Davis Move Opposed
AS interpreted in the House, the
Davis amendment would necessitate
the actual transfer of stations from
the vicinity of New York, Pittsburgh
and Chicago to southern and west
ern zones.
Dill would change the language of
the amendment to avoid difficulties
predicted by radio experts, who say
it would undermine the carefully
erected structure of the nations
radio system. For one thing, it is
said it would mean junking or
transferring at least twenty-seven
established stations in the metro
pOlitan area, which would be the
chief sufferer.
Meanwhile, Secretary Hoover
plans to continue the commission as
an appellate body pending adoption
of the bill. The commission expires
at midnight tonight and there is no
chance of passage before then. But
the original law provided that after
one year Hoover would become radio
car, with the commission as an adj
visory and appeals court.
Hoover Foes Baked
Hoovers political enemies, Incl
dentally, have discovered that his
assumption of new radio authority
may not embro1l him in controver-
sizes and embarrass his presidential
candidacy, as they had hoped.
In framing the radio bill last year,
Hoover's foes were animated by the
fear it might give him too mucn
power over a new engine of pub
Icity
The bill was framed with a view
to restricting his authority, and the
job was done so thoroughly that the
measure requires the appellate body
to take jurisdiction over all matters
that give rise to conflicts"

THE increase only effects proper
