STEPHENSON SMITH | MOSCOW, Sept. 17.—Col. Hugh L. Coeper is the pre-eminent Am- erican to mogdern Russians. His completion of the Dmieper- stroy hydro-electric and mavigation i project sucoessfully: within the first five-year plan stamped him as the hero of & people dedicated to me- rhanization as a means of defense and economic stabilization. Since the days of Catherine the Great, Russians had dreamed of a dam and ‘canal in the Dnieper river which would carry transpor- tation around the falls 200 -miles north of $he 'Black sea and make it possible for large-‘ships to sail through the Ukraine to Kiev. 8talin added a great hydro-elec- tric project to the ‘navigation plan and after scouting' the world over for an engineer capable of execut- ing this stupendous task, chose Colonel Cooper. Builder of Big Dams This was the greatest single unit in the daring five-year plan. It in- volved Lenin's dream of an elec- trified Russia ruled by the work- ers. Cooper had ' built the Muscle Shoals dam in the Tennessee river, the Keokuk dam in the Mississip- pi and other huge power plants in Canada, Brazil, Chile and Egypt. He impressed ‘Stalin 'as being the man to drive the $100,000,000 project through to completion, ‘and ‘is one of the few foreigners to win the full confidence of Soviet' Russia’s powerful leader. ‘The willingness of Colonel Cooper to pull off his coat and plunge into construction work was some- surprised them by the amount of time he spent in personal Xnveauga- tion and inspection work on the ac- tual building operations. Had Inexperienced Labor The workers were mostly men and women from the farming dis- tricts of the Ukraine. They knew nothing of constryction machinery |- and had to be taught patiently. Colonel Cooper realized in ad- vance the inexperienced character of the labor to be used and mad> his plans simple so as to involve the least possible mechanization. European engineers who compet- ed fer the supervision of the can- tract evolved intricate construction plans which intrigued Russian en- gineers for ‘a time. But when the American methods were tested on one bank ef the Dnieper and the; European on the other it was| that the New World . sys was - better, adapted to the Dfipflfltmy Job. Helped Win Recognition Colonel Cooper believed thor- oughly in the Dnijeperstroy project and imparted his faith to the thou- sands who worked on this plant Which is the nucleus ahout which | the electrification of industry in the southern Ukraine will eventu- ally center. He also carried his miulomry work to America, to the delight an Stalin and other leaders who credit | Cooper with having been a vital factor in winning American recog- nition for Soviet Russia.
