6. Pre-fabricated concrete blocks
are used more there than in the U. S.
The Russians reduce carpenter work
by using concrete forms which be-
come part of the permanent struc-
ture, instead of using wooden forms
which must be torn down after the
concrete is poured. Construction time
and costs are reduced substantially
by use of the pre-fabricated blocks.
7. The Russians build dams in
shorter period of time than we do
for the simple reason that they tele-
scope operations which over here are
spread over a period of years. Kuiby-
shev Dam on the Volga, which we
visited, affords good example. In
1850 they put hundreds of engineers
to work designing the dam, and 81
multaneously sent crews in to build
access roads and permanent city.
(School construction precedes hous-
ing, Incidentally In 1852 actual
work on the dam began and it was
in 1857. 1t is presently
the largest dam in the world, with

be surpassed by Stalingrad Dam,

GIANT DAM PLANNED
IN CHINA

Two of the Soviet engineers ac-
companying our delegation recently
returned from China where they had
helped design and construct dams.
Two members of our delegation.
Strauss and McPhail, had worked
with Chang Kai-shek's engineers in
the 40s on plans for a gigantic Is
million XIV dam on the Yangtze River.
The Russian engineers told us that
dam is being designed now, for from
25 to 40 million XIV capacity. One
Chinese dam of more than one mil
lion XIV capacity is scheduled for
completion next year, we were told,
and construction of many others had
been started.
An abundance of cheap power is
a worthy goal regardless of what
the Soviet Union, China or any
other country is doing in the field.
Nevertheless the power develop
ment program in the Soviet Union
underscores the stated intention of
Soviet leaders to overtake the
United States in production. This
rapid development of basic ma
tional resource, essential to both
peaceful economic competition and
in event of war, is full of portent

Lucas, whom he believes to be
a better all-around choice.
Horner, the Redskins second
pick, is an all-around player
with both speed and power. He
is 6 feet tall and weighs 1911.
AS a member Of the Keydets
track team, he ran the 100 IN
81 seconds.
He is the son of an Army
colonel and prepped at the Hill
School, where he captaIned the
swimming and golf teams. He's
been a starter at VMI since his
sophomore year. In fact, he
was the only Soph starter on
the KeydetS' undefeated 1857
team.
Last year he led all Southern
Conference ball carriers with
a 6-yard average and ilso was
an excellent punter and oefen-
sive player. He captained this
years VMI II.
The Washington club also
owes Philadelphia a fourth
round draw in payment for Bob
Hudson, defensive halfback, but
it gets one from New York for
Dick Lynch. The Redskins owe
Pittsburgh a No. Z selection for
Gary Click, but get an eighth
round draw from Detroit for
Tackle Jim Weatherall.
Nixon owes Baltimore a 10TH
round draw in payment for
Guard Hanson Churchwell.
1t is the first time each club
has been limited to 20 players,
10 fewer than in the past. II
also is the first draft meet
ing not presided over by Com
missioner Bert Bell. who died
october IL. Bell originated the
draft in 1886. Acting Commits
sioner Austin H. Gunsel was
presiding at today's meeting.
Salary War Expected
Although both leagues have
talked down the possibility of
wholesale bidding for the top
college stars, a knock down,
drag-out battle of checkbooks
seems almost certainty.
The NFL, now in its 4Oth
year, is counting on its sta
bility as we'll as its money to
influence the boys. Security,
prestige and a going concern
is what they hope to sell the
college senior. The AFL, hoping
to operate for the first time in
1860, probably will offer big
dollars and a pitch that players
signing with them have a
better chance to make the
grade.
Nixon expects today's meet
ing to be a long, drawn -out
affair, even though briefer than
its predecessors. The Wash
ington coach hopes to verify
that all men selected by the
Redskins are willing to play
for them. This will involve
hours of telephoning, and all
IL clubs are expected to do it.

Later, Green Bay took Tom
Moore. Vanderbilt halfback;
Pittsburgh acquired Jack
Spikes, Texas Christian full
back; Chicago Bears got Roger
Davis. Syracuse guard; Cleve-
land picked Jim Houston, Ohio
State end; Philadelphia took
Ron Burton, Northwestern half

Southern California tackle; San
Francisco took Monte Stickles,
Notre Dame end. and the New
York Giants picked Lou Cor
dileone, Clemson tackle.
Mike Nixon, the Redskins
47TSt-year coach, did a lot OF
thinking before deciding to
draft Lucas. He made it plain
that he was more impressed
with the all-round play Of the
Penn State quarterback than
he was with his passing. With
Izo grabbed by the Cardinals
and the NFL owners passing
up Don Meredith of Southern
Methodist because of a per
sonal services" contract already
signed with Texas oilmen,
Nixon thought Lucas was the
best bet.
Meredith Passed Up
Meredith's contract is with
men who are seeking NFL ac-
ceptance of their proposed
franchise in Dallas. Today's
draft was being held amid
prospects of a salary war with
the group Of millionaires who
are attempting to launch the
American Football League. Most
Of the players being drafted to-
day were picked a week ago at
Minneapolis by the AFL group,
Lucas was the outstanding
star of Penn State team that
defeated such football powers
as Army and Illinois before
bowing to unbeaten Syracuse in
a 20-l8 thriller three weeks
ago. Two weeks later, the Nit
tany Lions lost some prestige
when Pittsburgh upset them.
Lucas will play his last COL
legiate game in the Liberty
Bowl game at Philadelphia
December l9. No opponent has
been chosen, but Navy has
been invited. Lucas was picked
in the AFL draft by Buffalo.
Cannon, the Rams first
choice, was the glamor boy OF
the season, although the pros
always are looking for pasSerS
The 23-year-old Cannon scored
six touchdowns in 1859 and set
a three-year record of 1857
yards gained. He will play for
LSU in the Sugar Bowl againE

Before the drafting began, il
was believed likely that Moore,
Vanderbilt's 211-pound half
back, would be the Redskins
first choice-one favored by
President George P. Marshall.
