Immensity On Missouri Valley
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
CANYON FERRY DAM, Mont.— (NEA) —You
have to fly over the Missouri River valley, and up
the river Mself, to be impressed with the size of it,
To say that the Missouri River basin covers 325,000
square wriles, which it does, means little. To say
that it ecovers one-sixth of the area of the United
States gives & better image.
Few people outside of those who live in the area
realize that Denver, Col., is in the Missouri basin—
at the southwest corner, Here the east slope of the
Rockies ¢xadns into the South Platte River. To St.
Louis, near the southeast corner, where the Missouri
flows into the Mississippl, is 600 miles.
The xualn branch of the Missouri River itself is
gome 2,400 miles upstream to Canyon Ferry damsite,
near Helena, Mont. Fifty miles farther upstream,
the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson Rivers unite
to form the Missouri,
This is the farthest upstream dam of a series of
some 102 dams authorized by Congress in 1944 in
an attempt to control this muddy might, Here, on a
flying inspection trip with Secretary of Interior
Richard Searles and Reclamation Commissioner
MMichael W Straus, the immensity of this undertak
ing unfolds.
The work that is being done in the Missouri
basin now is a point Army Corps of Engineers and
Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation
undertaking, This is the now-famed Pick-Sloan
plan, Later on there mray—or may not be—a bigger
and broader Missouri Valley Authority plan of op
eration. But Pick-Sloan is the only plan they’'ve got
novw,
From St Louis west to Kansas City, then north
past Omaha to Sioux City, lowa, the Corps of En
gineers have built high retaining walls on both
banks. This was the old way to control floods. Build
a channel and speed the water on its way to the sea.
But when the levees and dikes break, there are
floods anyway.
GAVIN’'S POINT DPAM WILL
PROVIDE NAVIGATION
A hundred miles or so farther upstream, the
Army has just broken ground at Gavin’s Point, S.
D., for a big, new earth-fill dam to hold flood wa
ters in & buge reservoir, In the dry season, this wa=
tor would be allowed to run off downstream, pro
viding navigation, This is the newer idea of flood
control.
Gavin’s point won't be completed for several
years, of course, But farther upstream, within the
next two years, the Corps of Engineers will com
plete Fort Randall and Garrison Dams. And still
further upstreanr, in Montana near the Canadian
border, there is Fort Peck Dam, completed in the
1930's as a PWA project.
Fort Peck is now producing 85,000 kilowatts of
hydro-electric power which is being marketed by
Department of Interior. This power output, inciden
tally, could be quadrupled.
Above Fort Peck on the Missouri, and upstream
on the many tributaries that flow into the Missouri,
Bureau of Reclamation takes over for multi-pur
pose projecis to provide not only headwaters flood
control, but also power and irrigation.
This is Bureau of Reclamation’s fiftieth year in
this business, and its golden jubilee is being cele
brated all over the west. Bureau engineers now es=
timate that in the Missouri valley alone, there is a
potential two-and-a-half mitiion kilowatts of power
that could be developed. And six~and-a-half million
acres that could be irrigated along the fringes of
the valleys. o
LAKE WATERS WIEL BURY
CANYON FERRY DAM
Montana Power Company has had a series of
seven dams on the Missouri between Great Falls,
Mont., and Helena. Their dam at Canyon Ferry was
one of the oldest power dams in the U. S,
But it was too small in relation to the power that
could be developed at this site, So it was acquired
by the government and will soon be buried under
the waters of the new five-by-25-mile lake to be
impounded by Bureau of Reclamation’s new Can
yon Ferry Dam, .
This is how reclamation work has advanced in
the last half century. The old, limited-use dams
aren't big enough for today’s multi-purpose pro
jects, Montana Power Company will get an equal
allocation of power and water from the new dam,
and everybody is left more or less happy, though
Montana Power is still opposing further expansion
of the government’s progranm.
The new Canyon Ferry Dam, to be closed this
year, will be 172 feet high and 1,000 feet across the
top. It is & relatively small dam, as dams go, but it
presented some tough construction problems. It
could have been made twice as high. But that was
stopped by the owners of old water rights on some
5,000 irrigated acres downstream. p
Even so, the waters of the new Canyon Ferryfi
Dam will provide irrigation for sorme 310,000 acres
of farm land. And its three generators will provide
50,000 kilowatts of electricity.
A missing link in the Fort Peck-Canyon Ferry
power grid being created is expected to be supplied
by Yellow Tail Dam, 45 miles southeats of Billings,
Mont. But a& it involves the water rights of Wyom
ing and Nerth Dakota, as well as Montana, a state
compact mugt first be worked out.

Truman Seizure Power Appeal
r
Is Congress’ Hottest Potato
In appearing personally before Congress to ask
power to seize the steel industry, President Truman
attempted to employ all the prestige of his office to
compel action by the lawmakers,
Since the Supreme Court denied him the power
of seizure, he dutifully bowed to that authority and
left the matter where the court said it belonged—
on Capitol Hill.
But he was not content to let it rest there quietly.
His dramatic appeal unquestionably put the heat on
Congress to make up its mind whether seizure
powers should be granted now,
The question is thorny. Though negotiations be
tween companies and union have broken down, an
arrangement was made for resunrption of steel pro
duction allegedly sufficient to meet defense needs.
Mr. Truman said the allotment is not enough and
defense plans are imperiled by continuance of the
present strike.
He also asked Congress *o leave the government
free, in any seizure, to raise workers’ wages and
otherwise modify working conditions — perhaps
with the union shop—during the period of possible
government operation, i
There coyld hardly be a tougher issue for Con
gress, since seizure might then seem automatically
attractive to labor and a premdum placed on stalling
normal bargaining with management.
Most considered opinion to this point i that
seizure ought to be made as unpalatable as possible
to encourage bargaining.
Congress must further decide whether the Presi
dent fairly ignored the Taft-Hartley law on the
ground that the steelworkers already had agreed to
longer postponement of the strike than that law
could have enforced.
And the President left {o the lawmakers the
added headache of whether some form of federal
injunction ought to be imposed to force a quick end
to the walkout,
It is clear enough there is no potato shortage in
Congress. And they are all hot ones.
Koje POW's Made Violence
.
Esential
The hard core of Red prisoner resistance on Koje
Island having been smashed by force, the only way
it could be, we must now see that the Communist
propagandists who mark this as evidence of “inhu
mane treatment” do not go unanswered.
The basic fact, of course, is that these prisoners
have not been behaving like captives. They have
been acting like battlefield soldiers. And they
therefore left our commanders no recourse but to
combat them as soldiers.
The Reds had dug trenches across Compound 76.
They were armed with home-made spears, knives
and bludgeons. They resisted remroval from the
compound as if they were troops of the line. So the
violence used is on their heads, not ours. They not
only invited retaliation by force. They made it es
sential.
General Boatner is taking the only sensible action
he could to meet persistent Red rebellions on Koje.
He is breaking up the rebels into smaller, more
manageable units.
The performance of Communist prisoners is
wholly typical of l}ed behavior and ought not to
have occasioned surprise, We should have learned
that whéther the rules are of war or of peace, they
mean nothing to the Communists.
The Communists have made a creed of breaking
the rules. They have elevated riot and rebellion to
a way of life. They have sought to give fanaticism
the dignity of a faith.
In truth their only goal is power. They have dem
onstrated wherever they gain the ascendancy that
their concern is for the instruments of power. Their
professed devotion to the needs of humanity is a
come-on, a jerry-built front masking their crude
purpose.
The free world ought to be pretty sick by now of
listening to Communists exalt these crudities as the
rising voice of a trampled mankind. What are we
afraid of, what kind of faith is ours if we cannot
quickly expose this bestiality for what it is?
The Red response to every situation is violence,
falsehood, the stirring of fear.
. It cannot compete for long with free men’s faith
steadily extolled and wisely executed.
We've Had It
Communist negotiators at Panmunjom were re
portedly startled when our spokesmen suddenly got
up and walked out the other day. Our men simply
said they were tired of Red stalling and propaganda
and were declaring a three-day recess.
Apparently Communist propaganda has a drug
ging effect on those who utter it. Infatuated by the
sound of their own voices, the Reds seem unable
to believe other people don’t care to listen.
It's very likely a deeper thing, too, than just the
boredom of the moment. The free world has been
listening to Russian bungum for seven long years.
The fatigue we feel in these circumstances is cumu
lative, It's a weariness we may never get over,
We must face any eventuality. They (the North
Koreans) have built up their troops during the ne
gotiations, They may launch a large scale attack.—

DRUG ADDICTION SYMPTOM OF
PERSONALITY - MALADJUSTMENT
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
In recent months the newspa
pers have been filled with hair
raising accounts of youngsters
who have become addicted to
drugs, and of huge dope rings
run by the scum of society.
This is, indeed, one of our most
serious problems and it is worth
remembering also that during and
before the last war, it was the
avowed policy of the Japanese
Government to spread the dope
habit among the Chinese as one
method of degrading and debas
ing them.
Addiction to drugs is believed
to be caused by human weakness
and not by the drugs themselves:
it is a “symptom of a personality
maladjustment rather than a dis
ease in its own right.” The usual
meaning when speaking of the
“drug habit” is that the person has
developed an excessive craving or
desire to take one of the sub
stances derived from opium, such
as heroin or morphine.
Marijuana, about which so

To many owners, the mighty 180 H.P. V-8
engine that powers the Chrysler New
Yorker is the most remarkable feature of
this remarkable car. It is certainly the most
discussed automobile engine in many,
many years.
This is the engine with hemispherical
combustion chambers . . . the engine that
gets more power out of every drop of gas.
And non-premium gas at that!
Actually, it puts you in control of more
power than you'll probably ever need use.
You'll sense this . . . together with its
unequaled response ... the very first yards
you drive. It runs smoother, more quietly,
much has been written, is not an
opium derivative, however, and is
generally believed not to. cause
addiction in its own right, but
rather to lead towards a desire
later on for one of the opium and
habit-forming substances.
The opium derivatives cannot
be taken too long without causing
undesirable effects. Larger and
larger amounts become needed in
order to produce the desired re
lief or feeling of well-being.
The symptoms of opium or mor
phine habit come on gradually.
For months the health may be lit
tle disturbed. The dose of the
drug, however, has to be constant
ly increased. Once the habit is
well-formed, the victim feels men
tally depressed and is likely to
suffer from vague symptoms in
the stomach or bowels whenever
the effect of a dose has worn off.
The confirmed addict becomes
thin, prematurely gray, and de
velops a sallow, pasty complexion.
When not under the influence of
the drug, irritability and restless
ness are common. Sleep may be

disturbed; appetite and digestion
are upset; death comes early.
Thousands Have Habit
There are thousands of people
who have this unfortunate habit—
no one knows just how many.
Since the legal distribution of
opium, morphine, and their rela
tives is carefully controlled, illegal
smuggling of these drugs, opium
rings, dope, peddlers, and many
other undesirable practices have
developed to satisfy the addicts.
The treatment of drug addic
tion is difficult and long. it can
be done successfully, as a rule,
only in an institution. Opium,
morphine and other members 0{
‘this group are and have béen o
enormous benefit to humanity, but
they are powerful drugs and
should not be taken except under
’professional advice.
