Scientists Map
Lakes In Africa
To Bring Gases
One Proposed Lake Would
Cover Area Nearly Dou-
bic Size of France
By JOSEPH D. RAVOTTO
United Press Staff Correspondent


PARIS, April II. - (UP).-A
plan calling for the creation of
two vast lakes in the heart Of
Africa, and connecting them with
the Mediterranean by a, canal g.
900 miles long, has been proposed
by a German engineer. - '
His colossal project, as outlined,
is to construct these two internal
lakes by utilizing the natural, for
nation of the land and by employ
ing and Harvesting nearby rivers.
The first lake would be largely
located in Belgian Congo. and
would be made possible by the
damming of the Congo river. The
second lake, which would. be d.
rectly to the north, would be
formed; by enlarging Lake Chad,
which has been undergoing dry
ing-up process in recent years.
This would be done. by forcing
the Logone river, which has been
gradually changing its course, to
flow back and once again feed
Lake Chad. Since both lakes
would be in close proximity, they
would be joined by a short canal.
The last part of the plan calls for
the joining of Lake Chad with the
Mediterranean by what would be
the worlds longest canal.
WOULD OPEN UP
CENTRAL AFRICA -.
If the plan is ever worked out,
Central Africa would become one
of the most fertile regions in the
world. The engineer works OH the
fundamental principle that call
animal and vegetable life is de-
pendent. on the presence of heat
and water. The first condition is
more than amply fulfilled in that
region. But there is deplorablc
lack of water, which is vitality
necessary in these vast expanses
of land now economically worth
less in this respect, while the
valuable waters Of rivers like the
Congo flow wastefully and useless
ly from the interior to the ocean.
TO make this region rich and
flourishing land, the engineer pro-
poses making use of the Congo.
The Congo basin is encircled by
a continuous chain of mountains,
some 1,700 feet above sea level,
broken only by the gorge which
has been carved out by the waters
of the Congo. The plan would bar
this exit by huge dam to control
the outhowing waters. The hol-
low would be filed in and form
the basin Of a lake some $780,
600 square kilometers in area.
As France covers a total area of
550,985 square .kilometers, the
size of this lake can well be imag-
ined. ~ -.

Fear that confiscatory taxes will

expressed here by Frank F.
Brooks, president of the Pennsyl'
vania Bankers Association, in a
bitter denunciation of the present
Legislative trend against business,
banking and industry" at the
forty-second annual convention Of
the association.
Continued increase Of the ma
tional debt, Brooks held, was
"diluting the credit Of the United
States" reducing the purchasing
power of citizens who can least
afford it" and contended there
was mo political short cut to pros
perity that ignored the operation
of natural economic law"
Objections Listed
Emphasizing his opposition to
the Administration program,
Brooks raised objection to:
Charging the origin and
Embellishments Of the depres-
sion against American business.
"AIl forms of legislation which
are promised upon this false
assumption.
"Inculcating the public mind
with the lie that the results Of
our national suffering have made
it unsafe to trust again the
individual initiative which Gre
ated America.
writing into our laws theO-
reticaI panaceaS which tend to
bleed the country Of its material
and spiritual resources.
Legislation which inferS that
present problems and difficulties
are woven permanently into
American life"
REGULATION URGED
Proper governmental regulation,
protecting legitimate interests,
would not only be acceptable but
welcomed by both business and
banking, Brooks acknowledged.

eminent of demanding that indus

TrifLe to Baby

HackenSack-Modern mothers who

books by child experts and obtain a
little first hand advice on building a
cast iron constitution from Mrs Roy
johnson of Birch Lake township, whose
12-months-old baby has demonstrated
his ability as a miniature sword Swal-
lower. When the youngster started one
of his daily Investigations tours he was
struck by the desirability of a shiny
pointed object on the ground, and de-
string to come into closer contact with
his prize he put it into his mouth and
his ambition was realized, the object
slipped down his throat and into his
stomach. The next morning the baby
squirmed uncomfortably with a pain in
his stomach. Out came the castor oil
and few hours later, also a nail passed
through all the quirks and curves of a
baby's stomach with absolutely no i'll
effects.
