)AM BUILDERS HARNESS RESOURCES:
Russia Gains In Hydroelectric Power
I!
A
f
By TOM WHITNEY "
A0 Foreign Staff Writer
Big dams these days often make
news.'
Nuclear power may' be just
around the corner, but right now
hydroelectric power is the world's
darling.
All over this planet the dam
builders are hard at work harness-
ing the resources of great rivers-
to produce power for booming in-
dustries, to irrigate new farmlands
to feed rising populations, to cre-
ate and extend vital waterways.
They are changing the map-
creating big lakes and reservoirs
where there was dry land before,
digging long canals, and giving
birth to brand new cities where
the electricity they make is con-
sumed in metallurgical, chemical
and other factories.
In the forefront of hydroelectric
development are three big coun-
tries-the United States, the Sov-
iet Union and Canada. But in
India, Egypt, South America, West-
'er Europe, Japan and other coun-
tries and continents big projects
are also being built.
It is for these relatively unde-
veloped countries ofr, the world
that big hydroelectric development
promises to bring the most revo-
lutionary changes.
Dams also nowadays have a way
of becoming political issues.
When the United ,States and
Britain offered Egypt 70 million
dollars to get work started on the
biggest Egyptian contruction proj-
ect since the pyramids-the High
]E am at -Aswan -- the offer got
worldwide attention.
The two Western countries were
competing with the Soviet gov-
ernment, which had volunteered
to undertake the job for the Egyp-
tians. The West has apparently
won this contest since the Egyp-
tians have agreed to a financing
plan involving money from the
United State,. Britain and the
World Bank.
The Soviet Union is out to be-
come the world's foremost hydro-
electric power producer and, as
the accompanying map shows, is
making great strides towards this
goal. Under construction at the
present time in the U.S.S.R. are
several dozen power and .irriga-
tion dams.
The five largest are to have by
themselves an eventual capacity
of about nine million kilowatts.
This is nearly equal to the total
capacity of all electric power sta-
tions in the U.S.S.R. before World
War II.
The United States made great
progress in putting its waterpower
resources to use during the 1930s
and '40s. The Columbia River and
Tennessee Valley developments,
which surpassed anything previ-
ously known in the world, are sym-
bols'of this.

the Northwest and in conjunction

RUSSIA'S HYDROELECTRIC PROGRAM
INCLUDES FIVE MAJOR PROJECTS
WHICH ALONE, WHEN COMPLETE,
WILL NEARLY MATCH THE TOTAL
KASHMWARiII.
N HA ' CAPACMTYFALLELECnewseate
with the St. Lawrence Seaway, the
United States is not permitting its
power development to slow down.
Canada's enormous water re-
/sources are already well used and
that country is pushing ahead rap-
idly on new projects.
Hydroelectric development is by
no means confined to the world's
big powers. India is working on
a series of dams and irrigation
projects. Power needs are import-
ant to that country, just beginning
its large-scale industrial develop-
ment, but irrigation needs are even
more important.
India's Bhakra dam may be the
world's highest when completed.
It will rise from 700 to 750 feet
above the bed of the Sutlej River
which is fed from Himalayan
snows. Various figures ranging
from 350,000 kw. to 900,000 kw.
have been given as the project's
power capacity.,
Egypt's big project is the As-i
wan high dam. It will span the
Nile where high cliffs rise on eith-
er side. It will be 365 feet high
and irrigate two million acres of
land-adding a third to Egypt's
cultivated area.
It is reported the annual power
production from it will be nine
billion kilowatt hours. This im-
plies a power plant of well over
one million kw. Plans at present
provide for completion of the work
in 15 to 18 years with expendi-
ture, it is said, of over a billion
dollars.
Work is scheduled to start this
summer.,
In almost every other part of
the world, dams also are being
constructed. In comparison with
the giant undertakings of the big
powers most of these seem small.

A raft of students have already earned $25 in Lucky Strike's
Droodle drive. By June, hundreds more will. Better get with it.
It's like taking candy from a baby.
Do as many Droodles as you want. Send them, complete with
titles, to Lucky Droodle, Box 67A, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Include your
name, address, college, and class-and the name and address of the
dealer in your college town from whom you most often buy cigarettes.
If we select your Droodle, we'll pay $25 for the right to use it,
with your name, in our advertising. And we pay for a lot of Droodles
that never appear in print! Talk about easy money! This is it!
