Blue Nile Dam
Frets Diplomats

Adds ABABA - up - If at
long last a dam is built across the
headwaters of the Blue Nile at
Lake Tsana in Ethiopia, as has be-
en- reported recently, an old and
complex diplomatic question will
have been settled in this part OF
Africa.
The Blue Nile dam problem has
long occupied a prominent and per-
manent place in Anglo-Egyptian
relations, and sometimes in Anglo
Italian relations. Ever since the
turn of the present century Eng
lands diplomatic activity in this
particular part of Africa has been
postulated on Lake Tsana dam
concession, or at least a guarantee
that no other interest should be
permitted to tamper with the Lake
Tsana water supply.
Between World War / and World
War II, Italian influence was
strong in these parts. At the pre-
sent time, with England no longer
responsible for Egyptian affairs
/ Egypt has replaced Italy and is
now directly and independently
involved.
England and Egypt have Iona
desired to dam the headwaterS Ol
the Blue Nile in order to regulate
and insure water for the grea
Gezira irrigation project and th'
entire Nile water system.

York firm abandoned the work be-
cause it couldn't make a profit.
Undermayer decided to tackle
the job himself. He obtained a con-
tract from the c. F. and 1. and took
up where other firms had failed.
He is directing a big operation now
in the recovery of the metal. The
project involves the eventual work
ing over of about six miles of
dumps which are mountains of
blast furnace Stag.
Powder, charges blast loose the
material and four bulldozers push
if aside in swaths while workmen
pick over the disloged scrap. Most
of the recovered metal is in small
pieces but some recoveries weigh
a half-ton. Trucks haul the accum-
ulations to the steel mills where
they are used with other scrap in
the open hearth furnaces in max
ing steel.
Untermayer speaks five langu-
ages and is an etymologist-an ex-
pert in the derivation of words. He
is also a metallurgist.

Old Violin Secrets
Believed Found

ROME - (P) - A 35-year-old
ex-s0ldier who started making
violins as a pastime while he was
a prisoner of war in Africa thinks
he may have rediscovered some of
the lost secrets of Italy's great
craftsmen of the past
At any rate, the instruments that
Franco POnze has been turning out
in his tiny shop on Rome's Aven-
tine Hill are increasingly in de-
mand among professional mu-
sicians.
With age, the knowing say, they
even compare favorably with the
yiolins the Amati, Stravari and
Guarneri put together centuries
ago.
Ponzo-short. stocky, swarthy,
mOustached and modist himself
makes no such claims, merely ex-
pressing belief that his expert
ments with new formulas for var
nish have developed something
better than modern Italian violin
makers are using.
Although he has untitled orders
Ponzo expects to sail soon fol
Buenos Aires. An application M
made long ago to emigrate t
Argentina. where he has relatives
has just been approved. He expect
TO continue his trade in his neV
homeland.
