hardened, forms will be constructed
for the top three-quarters of the
tunnel and the concrete pumped in
to place to complete the 20-foot sec
ton of lining Inside diameter Of
this section will be 24l2 feet. Max
imum diameter near the intake OF
the spillway will be approximately
35 feet.
When the diversion tunnel is no
longer needed to carry the Flathead
Rivers south fork around the darn
site, the lower end will be lined
with concrete to form the outlet end
of the spillway.
Water from the 100000 acre
foot Hungry Horse reservoir, cas-
cading over the rim of the glorY
hole spillway, will drop a maximum
of 400 feet, approximately the
height of a History building, on its
l.125-foot journey back to the river
below the dam.

HUNGRY HORSE
DAM NEWS

Workmen at the Bureau of Re
clamation's Hungry Horse Project
haye started placing the first sec
ton of concrete lining in the world
highest glory hole spillway tunnel,
Construction Engineer c. H. Spen-
Ger said today.
Present plans call for installation
of only one 2O-foot section of the
tunnel at this time to permit place
ment of a waterproof bulkhead near
the lower end of the tunnel. Pur-
pose of the bulkhead is to prevent
water in the 36-foot diversion tun-
mel from backing up in the spill
way tunnel during high water next
spring when work on the tunnel
lining job will be resumed.
The tunnel lining, which will be
of reinforced concrete 2lz feet
thick, is being placed in two stages.
Forms for the bottom quarter of the
circular lining are in place and con-

Although shrinkage cracks may
develop in exposed concrete pipe,
these small cracks will heal them
selves in the presence of moisture
and in fact become stronger than
before the break. The reason: con-
crete in the presence of moisture
exudes calcium hydroxide, which
upon exposure to the atmosphere
is converted to calcium carbonate
which seals the cracks and pre-
vents rusting Of the metal rein

Truly Effective

After President Truman's an,
nouncemnt on September % of ar
atomic explosion in Russia. US
citizens worked up a kind of pecu'
liar, detached tension that seemed
to have been born out of the ex-
pectation that somebody-maybe
Bernard Baruch-ought to y
something significant pretty soon
about the world and the atom bomb.
And Mr.. Baruch, who is the au-
thor of the plan for international
atomic control that was rejected
by the Soviets in 1916, measured
up to the demand for an opinion by
coming out with what looked to be
ONE practical suggestions.
PRIMARILY, he urged that
nothing less than a truly effective"
system of international control be
put into effect.
He supplemented this major point
with three other recommendations
as to how to face up to the Russian
atom:
/. Pending such safe and sure"
control, make every effort ito
maintain our overwhelming advan-
tage" in the development of atomic
weapons.
2. Re-examine our strategy for
peacemaking.
8. Enact a standby mobilization
plan, including civilian defense,
Immediately.
BASIC IDEA, Of course, is for the
us. to do its moral best with the
olive branch, but in the meantime
keeping a gun handy, just in case.
Baruch's conception of a mobili-
cation plan would include price,
wage and rent controls, rationing
.priorities and anti-proiteering
Russia's counter-proposal to in
ternational control-the outlawing
Of the bomb and international
agreements to destroy all existing
stocks Of the atom bomb-over-
the problem, Baruch
said.
HE WARNED that a would-be
aggressor easily could divert

5, Thot Is

What happened to the 5 per cent
er inquiry that was hotter than a
two-dollar deep freeze box a month
or two ago?
According to Senator Hoey Cd,
MO-, who heads the special senate
subcommittee which studied wheth-
er federal buying was improperly
influenced, the probe probably
won't be resumed this year; al
though the senator indicated that he
might release a report on 1t soon.
FOR ALL practical purposes
the investigation already is COM
pleted," said Hoey.
However, the subcommittee was
still waiting to get the testimony
of James v. Hunt and David Ben
nett, both of whom were described
as being too i'll to take the stand.
Hunt is the Washington manage
ment counselor who allegedly col
lected fat fees for his help in seek
ing government contracts for
others. He was the n who said,

SECURITY:
On the Way

Judging from all the activity that
has been generated around the
idea recently, apparently the thing
Americans are most concerned
about is how they can keep a few
dollars rolling into the family till
each month after father reaches
the ripe old age Of IS.
Pension plans have been an issue
in major strikes confronting the
nation, and congress was coming
up fast on the outside Of a greatly
expanded social security measure.
Even as the administration-spon-
sored bill was reported out onto the
floor by the house rules committee.
It had been fairly obvious that the
house would approve this portion
Of President Humans program.
Briefly, the current measure pro-
vides for:
l.. An increase of IL million in the
number of workers covered by old
age and survivors insurance for a
new total of 46 million.
2. An average 70 to 80 per cent
increase in old-age benefits.
3. Creation of a new insurance
system for persons who became
totally and permanently disabled.
4. An increase in the payroll taxes
by more than 300 per cent during
the next 20 years.
At any rate, the prospects were
bright for those legislators who
were Pumping for passage of the
expanded social security law. Sen
ator George 3D., Ga.) chairman of
the finance committee, freely pre-
dicted that the senate would pass
the hopped-up social security pro-
gram in 1850.

STRIKES:
Economy ThrottIed

The history making double basic
industry strikes-coal and steel
were rapidly throttling the nations
economy as the first week Of the
twin work stoppage drew to a close,
causing:
1. The layoff Of about 100, 600
white collar workers whose cleri-
cal services no longer were needed.
2. Furlough of 1899 railroad
men.
3. Curtailment of Packard motor
company operations.
4. Reduction of steel output to an
anemic 80 per cent of capacity.
s. Daily loss of 30 million dollars
worth of business in the steel and
coal industries alone.
6. Daily loss of II million dollars
in wages to nearly 900, 900 striking
steel and soft-coal workers.
President Truman had indicated
that he planned no direct govern
ment intervention in the strikes,
but Federal Mediator Cyrus Ching
was trying to figure out a new at
tempt to settle the disputes.
With the steel mills and coal
mines idle, Ching's massive proh>
lem was to find a workable solution
first Of all to the pension demands
Of Murray's United Steelworkers
and Lewis United Mine Workers.
Making it more difficult was the
fact that neither the industry lead
ers nor the unions we're in mood
to make any concessions.
An added grim note was sounded
by Philip Murray, CLIO leader,
when he warned that still another
500, 900 of his steelworkers would be
going on strike by the end of Octo-
Der unless the company-financed
six-cent pension and four-cent insur-
ance program was accepted by the
steel industry.

HIGH SUPPORTS:
Good or Bad?

Despite worried administration
warnings against setting farm price
supports so high as to price the
farmer out of the market" the sen.
ate went ahead to hit a new parity
ceiling for six basic groups.
Senators Young (R., MD and
Russell 3D., Ga.) spearheaded the
successful drive for an amendment
to peg support prices on wheat, cot
ton, rice, corn, tobacco and peanuts
at 80 per cent of parity. Previous
support prices on those crops had
been rs per cent of parity.
SEN. SCOTT LUCAS Of Illinois.
senate Democratic leader and voice
Of the administration in this case,
had opposed the Young-Russell
amendment to Sen. Clinton Ander-
sons bill and had fully expected
that it would be defeated in the
senate.
But after a lusty battle, the meas
ure was sent back to the agricul-
ture committee where attempts
were made to work out a compro-
mise.
Senators Anderson, Aiken and
Lucas had argued that a high-sup-
port measure, keeping food prices
high, might n day cause consum-
ers to rebel and possibly throw out
the entire price support program.
Backers Of the 80 per cent parity
legislation commended that any SER
ious lag in farm prices could set
off a depression affecting the whole
national economy.
THERE MATTERS stood for the
time being. Prior to the senate
fight on the support bill, however,
Sen. Scott Lucas had delivered
himself of an opinion that could,
under the right circumstances, turn
out to be prophetic:
when the government continues
to substitute a little more and a lit
tie more all the time-without stick
to a farm program dealing with
the basic commodities that can be
controlled-you are taking a chance
hat the whole thing may be struck
