KOOTENAI DAM HEARING

CONTINUED from Page One
War Department believes, benefit
this community, as well as improved
! transportation facilities, taking the
far future into consideration. The
major purpose in this special case,
he said, is for hydroelectric power,
flood control and irrigation benefits
to our neighboring states. The De-
partment believes that the material
wealth and we'll being to all located
near the natural resources available
in mountain stream vicinitieS would
more than overcome the economic
cost and destruction that would
necessarily be involved.
All geological and typographical
studies have been gone into very
thoroughly and carefully with the
final decision being made that this
location is ideal for one of the two
major projects authorized, but still
undeveloped, he explained.
Using a map of the profile Of
the Kootenai River and surround
ing area which would be affected,
Mr.. Thomas pointed out the five
SITES under consideration. He. ex-
planned that at Moyie, the mouth
of the Moyie River, it is 200 feet
10 bedrock, and a low earth dam
is possible. which would raise
pool that will back as far as Koo-
tenai Falls. At this same point, a
high dam could be constructed
which would back up as far as
Libby, remaining at river level here.

Libby.
A dam as high as 500 feet could !
be erected at Katka, a little above
Moyie, he said, that would flood |
Troy Libby, Warland and Rexford.
Mr.. Thomas explained that Tun-
mel 8, which is the tunnel on the |
Great Northern, is another possible |
site with sound rock banks only
so to 70 feet to sound bottom, where
a high concrete gravity dam could
be constructed, as well as a power
plant. Kootenai Falls, he said, also
offered favorable possibilities which
would back water over Libby, War
and and Rexford.
The site at Jennings, according
o information supplied by Mr..

mates being offered, Mr.. Thomas
said, it is possible to achieve 10 mil
lion acre feet of storage capacity
within the u. S.
Also feasible is a low dam at
Moyie and a high dam at Kootenai
Falls; the dam at Kootenai Falls
furnishing storage and the one at
Moyie being used for power pur-
poses on the lower end Of the river.
Recalling that there would be
little difference in cost or land de-
velopments, Mr.. Thomas said there
could also be a high dam at Katka

Awesome as the Atom


Existence of a new and hitherto
really secret Anglo-American weapon
was disclosed this week by the citing
of a, New Zealand scientist in the
birthday honors list of King George
VI in London. The scientist, Professor
T. D. ]. Leech, said he was honored
for heading development of a secret
weapon that was an effective alternate
to the atomic bomb.
To newsmen this was one of the
hottest tips since Hiroshima. Cables
flashed between London, New Zea-
land, Australia and New York. At
weeks end, they had pried up several
side angles but for the big story
(what the weapon actually was) they
still were shifting.
In Cincinnati, reporters found an
American biophysicist who had
worked with Leech and other British
and New Zealand scientists on the
weapon. He was James M. S%nodgrass,
SO, chief engineer of the motion pic
ture division of the Dayton-Acme Co.,
a consultant engineering firm.
eyes," said Snodgrass reluctantly,
"the new weapon was as aWesome in
its effects as the atomic bomb"
He said the weapon Was conceived
by the British and although US.
naval officials were not enthusiastic
the British pressed the work, first on
an obscure Pacific island in 1943 and
later in New Zealand.
Fear of espionage resulted in EN-
tering the experimentation in New
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-06-22

In Britain and France the reaction
was quick and enthusiastic. Foreign
secretaries Ernest Bevin of Britain
and Georges Bidault of France agreed
to convoke a European economic com
mission to draft a program of recov-
cry and reconstruction to implement
the Marshall proposals. The new body
will be set up within the framework
of the United Nations Economic Com
mission for Europe and Russia, speci-
fcally, will be invited to participate.
Coincidentally, an analysis of Eu-
ropes economic needs, and sugges-
tons for meeting them, had long been
under preparation by the U.N. Eco
nomic Commission for Europe. It was
published at Geneva soon after Mar
shalIs speech.
Dollar Pressure
In Moscow, however, these events
drew a sour first look from "Pravda"
which branded Marshall's proposals,
"despite their seeming novelty" as
merely another attempt to exert po-
litical pressure with the aid of dollars
"a program of interference in the
affairs of other states"

Medicine
Radioactive Carbon Atoms

radioactive carbon atoms, some of
them 5000 years old, release about
21,O00,000 electron volts in each hu-
man being every minute, according
to DR.. Aristide V. Crosse of the
Houdry Process Corp.
Discovery Of this activity in the liv-
ing body is expected to prompt a re-
examination of the level of radioac-
tlvity which proves harmful to a hu-
man being or results in hereditary
changes, and a study of the radioac-
tivity as a possible source of cancer.
DR.. Crosses calculations are based
On a discovery that cosmic rays trans
mute nitrogen of the air into radio
active carbon which enters the human
body in food. Discovery of the carbon
is the work of six scientists (two from
the University of Chicago and four
from Houdry).
"This radioactive carbon IA is the
first substance found to be created
by cosmic rays" said DR.. Crosse. Il
do not think it is the last"
The experiments show a probability
that a radioactive hydrogen known as
tritium, which also would enter the
human body, is also produced by CO.'S
mic rays,
Although 100000 of these radioactive
carbon atoms explode in the body
each minute, carbon IA makes up less
than a millionth of one percent of
the total carbon, DR.. Crosse said.
However, the ~radioactivity to which
a human body is exposed raises the
possibility that a human being de-
velops greater immunity to such &C.
tivity than had been supposed.
