HALT AGING PROCESS:
'U' Biologists Study Evolution of Lakes

Denver Man Proposes Dam for Gulf of California

The natural aging process of
lakes is being studied at Lake
Douglas in Pellston, Mich. by the
University biological station there.
Prof. David G. Frey of the zo-
ology department is working with
students in collecting and analyz-
ing sediments from the bottom of
the lake.
Slow Process
Prof. Frey is studying the evo-
lution of lakes "in order to slow
the ageing process or reverse it."
"Many of our lakes already

have become extinct," he said. "In
another 10,000 to 20,000 most of
another 10,000 to 20,000 years most
of the others will be gone."
Describing this process, Prof.
Frey explained that primitive lakes
were formed by glacier movement
some 10,000 years ago. These lakes
were originally cool and clear, but
in time they are infested with life
-algae, weeds, fish and other
forms of life. As siltis deposited
at the bottom they become shal-
lower.
Exhausts Oxygen
Thus, as the lakes evolve, the
deep water oxygen is exhausted
and the cold water fish disappear.
"The process continues until the
lakes fill up and become extinct,"
he said. "We may then require
another glacial age to create a
whole new series of lakes."
People speed this process of
extinction, Frey said, when they
use the lakes. Their use increases
the nutrients on which algae are
fed, and speeds the decline of
deep water oxygen and the de-
posit of sediments.
Study History
Prof. Frey said it is possible to

reconstruct the past history of a
lake through study of organisms
and small animals preserved in.
the sediments and through physi-
cal and chemical analysis of de-
posited materials.
Such changes have been thor-
oughly documented in the past 50
years, according to Prof. Frey. He
cited Lake Zurich in Switzerland3
and Lake Washington near Seattle
as examples of this.
New System.
T'o Improve
Radio Signals
Engineers of the Institute of
Science and Technology Radar
Laboratory are studying a new
method of modulating radio sig-
nals.
The new system is expected to
overcome some of the inherent
limitations of the present methods
of radio communication. The
method currently being devised is
called "swept-frequency modula-
tion."
Space Use
The IST Electronic Information
Processing and Communications
Group is investigating the new
concept for possible use in the
communications systems of boost-
glide vehicles, missiles, satellites
and space probes.
The group is working under a
one year $100,000 contract from
the Air Force.
Reduce Effects
IST research engineer John
Dute said "If the study works out
as expected, we can reduce the
effects of interference and there-
fore open up more communica-
tions channels for special uses..
"Swept - frequency modulation"
promises to solve the multipath
transmission problem - the kind
of thing that causes "ghosts" in
TV images." Dute will head the
project.
The research is being sponsored
by the Communication Labora-
tory of the Air Force's Aeronauti-
cal Systems Division.

By GORDON G. GAUSS
DENVER OP)-A dream to build
a series of dams across Mexico's
Gulf of California and use them
to generate power from sea water
has been evolved by a Denver
man.
. Collectively, the dams would be
27 miles long and at one place
the structure would have to rise
3,000 feet from the floor of the
gulf.
The man with the idea is Roy
Batchler, 53, who describes him-
self as an inventor forced by cir-
cumstances to spend years earn-
ing a living in the worker place-
ment field.
His concept dwarfs existing
dams. Hoover Dam on the Colo-
rado River, for example, is 726
feet high and 1,244 feet long.
Grand Coulee Dam on the Co-
lumbia River, the nation's larg-
est concrete dam, is 550 feet high
and 4.173 feet long.
Uses Charts
Batchler says he conceived the
idea in 1954 and has developed
it since, working from detailed
geological maps and, charts of the
area-which he has never seen.
The office he maintains in his
Denver home is lined with maps
of the area, books about the re-
'U' Increases
Parking Space
The University is tearing down
seven houses on Forest, across
from Palmer Field, in order to
create additional parking space.
Vice-President for business and
finance Wilbur K. Pierpont com-
mented that plans for the use of
the area are now tentative.
"There is quite an elevation
problem there," he commented,
noting that a survey is now tak-
ing place to evaluate what sort
of paving or construction, if any
would make best use of the area.
Pierpont also said that the lot
would be for the use of both stu-'
dent and faculty. It is expected
that it will be cleared by this fall.
Pierpont also said that the cost
of the lot so far is "only several
hundred dollars" that it will cost
the University for demolition fees.

gion and blueprints of preliminary
drawings. Pending core drilling
and surveys, development of de-
tailed engineering plans is not
possible.
Right now Batchler is trying to
interest officials of Mexico's gov-
ernment in the project and he
hopes to have it placed soon before
President Adolfo Lopez Mateos.
Twice this year Batchler has
made trips to Mexico for prelimi-
nary negotiations. He presented
the plan to the Commission Fed-
eral de Electricidad in January and
on a recent trip engaged an. at-
torney in Mexico City.
Sells Power
He hopes to sell vast amounts
of power to be generated for use
in the booming southern Calif or-
nia area of the United States but
says 35 per cent of the power
should remain in Mexico to pump
underground water for irrigation
in the Colorado River delta and
the Gran Desierto of Sonora, ad-
jacent to the project. He estimates
that perhaps two and a half to
three million potentially rich
acres could be brought under cul-
tivation.
The power sales to southern
California, Batchler says, should
bring in $65 million a year and
service a $500 million loan which
he suggests would build the proj-
ect. Batchler thinks the United
States government might be asked
by Mexico to underwrite the fi-
nancing.
The series of dams the Denver
man envisions would extend from
the east coast of Baja, (Lower)
California, about a third of the
way toward the south from the
northern end of the peninsula, to
To Consider
New Nations.
Prof. Preston W. Siosson of the
history department and Prof.
Harold K. Jacobson of the politi-
cal science department will speak
at a meeting of the Greater Ann
Arbor Chapter of the American
Association for the United Nations
at 8 p.m. today in a private home,
at 2429 Nottingham.
They will discuss 'New Member
Nations" of the UN.

the mainland at a point some 85
miles west of the city of Hermo-
sille. (See map.)
Plans Length
One dam would be 9 miles long,
from the southeast edge of the
Bay of San Rafael on Lower Cali-
fornia to San Lorenzo Island. The
next, from the east side of San
Lorenzo, would extend 9 miles to
San Esteban Island. A third dam
would extend 6 miles from the
eastern tip of San Esteban to Ti-
buron Island. The fourth dam'
would extend from the northeast
tip of Tiburon Island across the
Canal del Infiernillo to the main-
land. Power generating equipment
probably would be located in the
Punta Sargento area.
The gulf has a depth of 3,000
feet at the western side, Batch-
ler says, and the average depth
is 1,166 feet.
He estimates the dams would
require 113 million cubic feet of
concrete and would weigh in ex-
cess of 226 million tons. He thinks
he can reduce the thickness of the
dams by an invention he has
worked out-but which he declines
to discuss until he obtains world-

wide patents-and because water
pressure against them will be al-
most equal on both sides, thus
helping to hold them in place.
Could Carry Tracks
Even so, the dams would be
wide enough to carry railroad
tracks and a two-lane highway.
Created to the north of the dams
would be a 20,000-square mile salt
water lake, now the northern part
of the gulf. Hot sun in the area
would evaporate this salt water
lake until its surface is 100 feet,
below that of the remainder of
the Gulf of California.
Then water would be allowed
to rush into the "lake" through
the strait-the Canal del Infier-
nillo-turning generators as it
goes.
Evaporation would reduce the
level in the captive part of the
gulf at the rate of eight and a
half feet a year, Batchler com-
putes.
This would mean, he says, that
no power at all could be generat-
ed for at least five years after
completion, then partial operation
could begin.
A 353-mile transmission line

would be necessary to reach the
southern California power mar-
ket, perhaps tying in with lines
from Hoover Dam.
Erect Spa
As a by-product of the develop-
ment, he foresees Tiburon Island
being turned into a swank spa
area, eventually like the Riviera.
The Denver man has discussed
his plan with some engineers of
the United States Bureau of Rec-
lamation-which has its princi-
pal engineering offices in Denver
-and he says some have express-
ed interest in serving as con-
sultants.
There would be no additional
drain on the Colorado River waters
available to the United States and
Mexico if the project becomes a
reality, Batchler says, and lower-
ing the elevation of the northern
part of the Gulf of California
would have the effect of gradual-
ly draining salt out of some pos-
sibly usable lands along the shore.
For his own part, he would like
to become general manager of the
project and receive a royalty on
power development.
