educate the British on many of the
problems and accomplishments and
glories of industry and the empire.
In addition to Contact" Paul
Rotha, leading British documental-
ist, has made The Face of Britain"

Following the trail blazing record of
The Plow," attention has already
turned to The River" given its ma
tional release. This picture, also a
three-reeler, dramatizes the Mississippi
River and the great valley-what we
have done to it and what it has done
to US. The river is both hero and viii

Both pictures we're written and di-
rected by Pare LorentZ, young West
Virginian, movie critic for two ma

the modern cinema. Disregarding the
artiness affected by some directors,
Lorentz has gone to the land itself for
material. With limited resources and
small staff, he has brought back films
which have won kudos from such Hol-
lywood directors as King Vidor, Lewis
Milestone, Charles Chaplin. William
Wyler and others. Few will question
the assertion that Lorentz is America S

Further. in the opinion of competent
observers, the newly dredged harbor
opens the way for lighter-draft coast
wise tankers from the Gulf Of Mexico
to make Washington a port of call.
COMPLETION Of the piers on the
Washington Channel will pro-
vide berths for tourist steamers. Some
believe that there are potentialities for
this type of business here, especially
during cherry blossom season, at in
augurations and at other times Of
major interest in the National Cap
ital. Under this program. passengers
could live aboard the ships, easing the
crowded housing situation here during
periods of congestion, the Army en-
gineers have been told. At the present
time, there is no place here where such
craft could be suitably taken care of.
Authorities say that it Is about the
same distance from Baltimore to the
ocean as it is from Washington. But
vessels using Baltimore have the ad-
vantage not only of a broad open
channel in Chesapeake Bay, compared
with the tortuous channel of the Po-
tomac River, but deeper draft ships
can plow their way up to the Mary
land metropolis. At Baltimore the
navigational project depth is IS feet,
compared with the new depth here of
"a feet. Accordingly, Baltimore's
waterway can take all ordinary types
Of vessels, short Of the ocean grey
hounds. The greatest draft for the
largest ships is considered to be in
the vicinity of As feet.
.Battleships, at present, could come
as far up the Potomac River as a few
miles downstream of Colonial Beach,
Va. But authorities point out that it
would take considerable dredging to
create 35-foot project depth from
that point up to Washington and
would be practically prohibitive in cost.
The inability of battleships to come
up to Washington has been looked
upon as factor in national defense.

depth here, and business men, CON-
mercial interests, citizens associa-
tions and other interested parties
joined in impressing upon the Army
engineers the necessity for action.
Then the plans were thoroughly
discussed in the River and Harbor
Board of the War Department, and
the chief Of Army engineers personally
gave his attention. For not only did
he act in his capacity as an officer of
the Army but as an ex-of1icio men,
Der Of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. as the matter
received official attention before that
body, which Is always interested in re-

CONGRESS was then informed ot
~ the local demand for improvement
OF its harbor facilities, and after some
more hearings on THE Hill" the pro-
gram was incorporated in legisla-
ton. Then came further efforts to Sc
cure the necessary funds to boost the
job into reality. This was all duly
done, and finally. in the early part
of last year, a contract was awarded to
the Norfolk Dredging Co. The en-
tire cost Of the work was in the
vicinity Of $160,000.
Washington witnessed the compile
ton Of the work around the new year,
and now the city has q more up-to-
date harbor, as far as navigation alone

WITH an adequate airport here, The
National Capital would become
an even greater factor in the skyways.
And-strange to relate-the dredging
job from Washington Harbor is point
ing the way to this. While the Army
engineers insist that they are not
consciously building an airport they
are using Gravelly Point as deposit
basin for their dredged material.
Since the Norfolk Dredging Co. of
Norfolk, Va, the contractor that has
just completed the dredging work here,
started its work early last year, this
deposit basin has taken on a greater
outline above the waters of the Po-
tomac. River.
The Army engineers explain that
they used to use Columbia Island as
a deposit basin in the olden days, but
now that has been incorporated as a
part of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge development and is no longer
available to dump dredged material.
Accordingly, they shifted their atten-
ton to Gravelly Point, and levee was
built around the area. The Army
engineers hydraulic pipe line dredge
placed the material on the area now
being spoken of in and out of Congress
as the site for Washington's future
airport after the Norfolk Dredging
Co. had placed it in a nearby rehan-
ding area.
The dredging job of digging 4 addi-
tional feet down in the river bed to
bring the project depth down to "a
feet, went forward under the direc-
tion of Maj. Walter D. Luplow, dis
trict engineer for the War Depart
ment for the Washington area. In
this he was assisted by E. A. Schmitt,
senior engineer; E. ]. Merrick, the
engineer directly in charge Of river and
harbor work, and Philip c. Dorr, as
sociate engineer, in charge Of river
and harbar planning.
Asa result Of increasing the naviga-
tional depth here, Washington port
enthusiasts foresee an increase of
water-borne commerce here. That was
what several witnesses, including
those from the Washington Board of
Trade, told the Army engineers, when
public hearings, looking to launching
the project, were held.
There has been some indication that
shipping of lumber from the West
Coast directly to Washington would
become reality. Oil companies have
said that self-propelled craft would be
utilized here in their shipments Here
tofore, towed barges, drawing II or

from Norfolk, Va, and Baltimore.

ness of aircraft in the Spanish civil
war and in the Sino-Japanese con-
f1ict, these considerations may have
to be revised, should the wings OF any
foreign government hover over the
eastern seaboard Of the United States.
A NAVIGATIONAL depth of 20 feet
was the old program here. But
now it is "a feet, including part OF
the Anacostia River, up past the
Washington Navy Yard and the gas
plant to the foot of Fifteenth street
Sc. Opposite the Navy Yard there is
turning basin 800 feet wide.
Now there is depth of "a feet all
the way from Chesapeake Bay to
Washington, and this means that
transports might be brought here.
Sailors and marines, as well as Army
units, are utilized in inaugural parades
and they might be transported here
by water in the future.
The Georgetown Channel and
Washington Channel are now en-
braced within the 24-foot depth area.
Plans are now being prepared for
prosecuting the work this spring to
remove outcroppings Of rock between
the Arlington Memorial Bridge and
Easbys Point. Pending the compile
ton of the Washington Channel water
front, some work remains to be done
at Georgetown Channel, but at the
Georgetown water front itself the area
there Is not now scheduled for
handling. At the present time there
Is no immediate demand for deeper
water at that point, Army engineers
assert.
Last year q vessel from Germany
came directly to Alexandria, Va.

similar vessels coming here.
