TiduI Wave Power
May Spread Over
Hundreds of Miles

Capt. Elliott B. Roberts, chief
OF the Division of Geophysics for
the Coast and Geodetic Survey
said a tidal wave is actually a
swelling of the ocean which may
extend for hundreds OF miles
Thus, it would not be like an
ordinary wave which breaks on
a beach and recedes.
1t is almost impossible to get
a precise measurement of a tidal
wave. Capt. Roberts said, and
such a wave might be unnoticed
from a ship. But from a low
coast it would appear as a wall
of water. perhaps preceded by
a deep trough.
Impeded by the shelving of
a beach, the water tends Ia
mount. and the forward energy
is transformed so there is a
piling up of the water. Behind
this front is the immense volume
of the swell to drive the water
inland where the land is low.
Capt. Roberts said that where
there is deep trough in advance

launched an unsuccessful effort
to locate it in the Southwest re-
development area south of Tenth

This location conf1icted sharply
with the redevelopment plans

to find a location outside of

Tenth street site a few years

The big site is on the main Mall

the building would be, but one
earlier design proposed the huge
Air Museum be able to hold 100
full-sized planes, including a
B-29, and spread over more land
than the Capitol.
Carmichael Gets Action
The Planning Commission ac-
ton repeatedly was taken at a
closed session Friday on a re-
quest from DR.. Leonard Car
Smithsonian secretary.
DR.. Carmichael refused to make
any comment on the report, but
other sources said he sought ap-
prevail on the general question
of location" 1t was understood
the Smithsonian Board of Re-
gents has not yet formally
adopted the site, although the
Planning Commission action
normally would precede this.
The Mall site often has been
mentioned as location for a Ma

the planners that the arts mu-
scum might be housed in the old

by the Civil Service Commission.
Controversy Over Site
Bills to establish a National
Museum of American Arts and
