Flat Payments Urged
For Terminal Leave
For Enlisted Men
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

-Four Senators sought today to
settle the question of military ter
minaF leave pay for discharged en-
listed men and women with fiat
payments of 5000 to those who served
overseas and $lOO to those who did
not.
Senators Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado; Maybank, Democrat, of
South Carolina; Mcfarland, Demo-
crat, of Arizona, and Chavez, Dem
ocrat, of New Mexico introduced a
Joint bill which would:
Make the payments to all who
served six or more months since
August q, 1910, were honorably
discharged, and received less than 30
days year in furloughs.
Provide they could obtain the
money simply by showing their
discharge certificates at any naval
station, Army finance or recruiting
office.
Give enlisted men and women still
IN the service terminal pay on the
basis Of tWo-and-a-h days for
each month of service, less furlough
time actually received.
Authors of the bill explained yes
terday it was intended to simplify
War and Navy Department book
keeping, which under other pro-
posals would require examination of
millions of service records.
A bill scheduled for House action
May 13 would give discharged en-
listed personnel the same terminal
leave benefits as officers receive.
This consists of pay for all unex-
pired furlough time up to 120 days,
regardless of whether the service
was overseas or domestic.
Senator Mcfarland said the
amounts Of 5000 for overseas service
and 500 for domestic service were
arrived at after study of the serv-
ice and pay records of several hun
dred veterans. These showed, he
said, that men with overseas service
usually had six weeks to two
months furlough time due when
discharged, while those who re-
mained in this country usually had
received more furlough time.

Lowell Thomas Sees
No Immediate Danger
OF War With Russia

Lowell Thomas, noted news COM
inentator, does not think there Is
any immediate danger of war and
Is not pessimistic about world condi-
tions.
Mr.. Thomas optimism was re-
fiected in an interview after he had
addressed the National Geographic
Society in Constitution Hall last
night.
You cannot expect" he said,
that the aftermath of violent
struggle will not be attended by
some difiiculties, but do not think
the situation Is hopeless"
Praising the United Nations as q
step in the right direction, Mr..
Thomas discounted the probability
that Russia would project the world
into a third world war.
Protection Main Objective.
"Russia's foreign policy is mott
waited chiefly by a desire to protect
herself from attack, and she is
building buffer states In Europe for
that purpose" he said.
In addition, Russia Is not suf-
ficiently mechanical to threaten the
United States" But he added that
Russia might, were her blum to be-
called, go to war to avoid. loss Of
face.
In his address before the society.
Mr.. Thomas described a three
month airplane trip around the
world and Illustrated his talk with
technicolor movies.
He visited Casablanca, Cairo,
Tripoli, Palestine, Calcutta, China
and such Pacific battlefronts as
Two Jima. Guam, the Philippines
and Okinawa.
He said he Narrowly escaped death
when he was delayed keeping an
appointment with Gen. Simon
Boliver Buckner because he stopped
to visit with Representative Melvin
Mas of Minnesota. Gen. Bucknef
was killed that day by shellfire, and
Mr.. Thomas said he would have
been at his side had he kept his
appointment with the general.
Mr.. Thomas described the difficul-
ties of flying over the Hump" the

than 900 American flyers had been

ton had greater significance than
was apparent to the voters at that
time.
Inception Of the Grand coulee
Project
Behind it lay the first organized
effort to build the great multinle
purpose dam in the Columbia Riv-
er at the head of Grand Coulee. an
effort which constitutes one of The
great epics of America. Manv
persons contemplating the possi.
b1llty OF irrigating Central Wash
ngton following the settlement OF
that region in the early 19OO's, had
speculated on the possibility 81
raising the water Of the Columbia
to the necessary elevation IN
means of a dam. They were GEN
orally familiar with the theory OF
biologists that Grand Coulee had
been excavated by the Columbia
River at a time when a great ice
dam elevated its waters and caus-
ed it to find a new channel down
across this lava plateau. If nature
could so divert the waters of this
great river then why couldn't man
do it?
Grant county, which had been
organized in 1909, was so laid out
as to have long northward ex-
tension embracing the entire ex-
tent Of Grand Coulee and the seq
ment of the Columbia River where
rocky reefs appeared to offer good

foundation for a dam; and on the
west and south the county is
bounded for the most part by the
river. It was natural then that the
men elected to positions in county
government and other civic lead
ers should struggle with the prob
lem OF bringing water to the great
expanse Of arid land.
Prominent among them was
Billy Clapp, an attorney who had
moved to Ephrata, the county, seat
shortly after the county was es-
tablshed. He was one of the first
to seriously advocate a dam al
Grand Coulee. Another was Nat
washington - descendant of q
brother Of George Washington
VINO with his father settled on a
homestead along the banks of the
Columbia not far from the mort
err extremity of Grand Coulee
Mr. washington was also a law
yer and in 1917 he became pros
ecutlng attorney of Grant county
world War I was being fought In
Europe and men were tallSine
ABOUT making the world safe for
democracy. AS the wars end an
preached they gave increasing
thought to postwar planning. Nat
washington had dee-seated con-
vlctlons about the importance OF
developing natural resources by
PUBLIC enterprise and visualized
the possibility of public works
program which would harness the
waters of the Columbia for HYDRO
electric power and irrigation.
Private Power Interests Back
A Gravity System
Otner men were committed to
a policy of irrigation by public en-
terprise but insisted on keepine
the province Of electric power in
the hands of private enterprise.
Already public power had made
considerable Roadway through
municipal ownership notably Ia
Tacoma and Seattle and in 1918
Seattle entered upon its huge de-
velopment on the Skagit river
The concept Of multiple-purpose
dams was gaining headway since
1t was obvious that any sizeable
dam built to serve irrigation might
also be used in the interest OF
economy to generate electric DOW
er. A dam at Grand Coulee OBJ
viously would fall in this category
and because of its size it was be
yond the reach of any private COM
pany.
The Washington Water Power
company, with headquarters in
Spokane, was looking forward to
developing lesser projects on the
Columbia at natural sites like
Kettle Falls, and it was not will
ing to risk invasion of this field
by public enterprise. Other in
teress were planning private DOW
er projects at Priest Rapids and
other power sites on the Columbia.
In 1913 E. F. Blaine of Grand
view, Washington, one Of the orig
inal officers Of the Washington r.
to develop irrigation and power in
the Yakima valley and Priest Rap
ids section, poined with Spokane
interests in launching under the
auspices of the Spokane Recon-
struction Congress what they
called the sBig Bend Project"
This would include most Of the ir-
rigab1e land in the great bend of
the Columbia.
Proponents Of the project were
