By CLARENCE JOHNSON
KANSAS CITY ()--It was April,
1952.,
The Wild Missouri was on a
rampage.
All along the 2,400-mile course
of the stream from the Montana
Rockies to St. Louis, the Big Mud-
dy was carrying a heavy burden
of water from the spring thaw.
The surging water jumped the
banks. It crumbled levees. It flood-
ed more than 2,122,000 acres of
land.
More than 87,000 persons were
displaced from their homes,
'Whopping' Loss
The loss, in terms of money,
added up to a whopping 179 mil-
lion dollars.
Can it happen again?$
"No" is the confident appraisal

f
of the people who have had an
active part in taming the Wild
Missouri,
Major destructive floods in the
upper and middle reaches of the
Missouri River are a thing of the
past.
This comes from Brig. Gen. W.
E. Potter, Omaha, Missouri River
division engineer for the U.S. Army
Engineers. Ever since the 1952
record flood, Gen. Potter has been
in charge of Missouri River flood
control operations,
He confined his appraisal to the
upper and middle parts of the
river because there are no major,
flood control works on the un-
predictable Kansas River, which
went on a spree in 1951.
Four Mainstem Reservoirs
Gen. Potter points to four major
mainstem reservoirs where there
was only one in 1952. These dams,
he explains, have a sufficient ca-
pacity to reduce a flood--such as
the one in 1952-to well within the
banks of Omaha and St. Joseph,
Mo.
As shown on the accompanying
map, the mainstream reservoirs
now in existence are the Fort Peck
in Montana, the Garrison in North
Dakota and the Fort Randall and
Gavins Point, both in South Da-
kota.
Fort Peck was the oply one in
operation four years ago. Its total
cost is estimated at 1561 million
dollars, which is about 25 million
dollars less than the total flood
loss on the Missouri in 1952.
The Engineers figure that the
presence of Fort Peck Dam in 19521
was enough to enable Omaha to
escape an additional 62 million
dollars loss in the flood. The
combined loss at Omaha and
Council Bluffs, Ia., has been placed
at 621 million dollars.
The Oahe Dam
A fifth ,major dam, the Oahe,
north of Pierre, S. Dak., is expect-
ed to be about 22 per cent complete
by the end of 1956. Another, Big
Bend, south of Pierre, has not been
started.
When the six main stem dams
are in operation ,the Army Engi-
neers figure they will have 72
million acre feet of storage-al-
most three times the average an-
nual flow of the river at Sioux
City.
In addition, 18 smaller dams
have been completed since 1952 by
the Engineers and the Bureau o'f
Reclamation. Thirteen others are
under construction and scores of
others are on the future list.
Hold Back Water
As it stands this April, the
Missouri Valley not only has three
more dams to hold back the water,
but because of drought all of them
have greater storage capacity.
And Mother .Nature, herself, ap-
pears in a cooperative mood this
year.
The 1952 flood was the result of
a heavy snowfall in the Upper
Plains, the Dakotas, Montana and
Wyoming. The snow had accumu-
lated to a depth of 20 inches in
some places during the winter.
Underneath the snow pack was ice.
So when the spring thaw came,
the water had no way of penetrat-
ing the ice sheet. There was only
one place for the 'water to go-
down the slopes, into the creeks
and rivers and finally the Missouri.
This spring the snowpack situa-
tion is nore favorable, the Engi-
neers say. They look for a normal
runoff.
