Commander ' Huge Davis Dam to Augment Power ‘Taken From the Mlghty Colorado in Alaska | 3 By VICTOR GUNSON Central Press Correspondent LAS. VEGAS, Nev.—As Boulder dam, sparkplug of the great | southwest, celebrates its 10th an- niversary, preparations are going ahead for the construction of Davis dam, another contradiction of the dire prophecy by an Army | explorer for the future of the Colorado river county almost a century ago. It was, in 1857 that Lt J. C. Ives made a voyage up the river to discover its possibilities for the government, only to report offi- cially. “The region . . . of course is altogether valueless . and after entering it there is nothing to do but leave. . Ours was the first, and doubtless will be the last, party of white persons to visit this profitless locality. It seems that . . , the Colorado river . . . shall forever be unvisited and un- molested.” That is what the man said— exactly. It is too bad Lieutenant Ives could not have been in Los Angeles one morning a few weeks back. HERE ARE FOUR OF THE BATTERS whcse prowess on the diamond with the elub has played a major role in putting the Boston Red Sox cn top of the American League heap, riding the crest of an 11-game winning streak. Left to right are Rudy York, Ted Williams, whe got six hits out of seven time at bat May 6; Bobby Doer, who, with Williams, shares the league runs batted in lead, and Dominic Di Maggio, of San Prancisco, who is dcing even better than his more famous elder brother, Jce, of the Yankees. Bostonians already visual- ize an American League pennant flying over Fenway Park for the first time in 28 years, A stunting airplane struck the power lines from Boulder dam. In an Instant most of the metropoli- tan area of the nation’s fifth larg- est city was without light or power. During the 24 minutes it| required to repair the break the ety remained paralyzed. Davis dam, to cost $7,000,000, will greatly augment the power generated from the Colorado river. Fifty miles below Boulder, and ap- proximately 125 miles from Las Vegas, it will rise 138 fegt from the river bed. Two New Towne Construction is expected to get under way in about six months, with two towns scheduled to rise from the desert plateaus skirting each side of the river. One, the smaller, will house the government headquarters. The larger will house the construction crew and will be in Arizona. Be- cause the nearest city is King- man, Ariz., 35 miles away, elab- orate plans have been made for the comforts and recreation of the workers. They might as well know right now they will have some at- tention from glamorous Binnie Barnes of the stage and screen. Her husband, recently dis- charged Col. Mike Frankovich, of | the Air Transport Command, has just signed contracts to build a movie theater and various other recreation facilities, to say noth- ing of stores. While Colonel Frankovich, ace MIKE AND BINNIE-The entered the Army four years ago, was in San Francisco completing arrangements for his side of the work, Binnie took time out in Hollywood from her new Universal picture, “The Ghost Steps Out,” to | do some helpful work. She shopped around—and she really had to shop—to buy 675 theater seats. | She also bought a truck. pinnie explained: “I expect to spend a great deal of time in the new town with Mike. It'll be a wonderful change from Hollywood. It'll be living in the real west. “Mike, of course, is a pilot so he'll be able to fly between Davis city and Hollywood whenever he wants.” : Davis dam is expected to take five or six years to complete. It'll be no more’than a little brother to Boulder dam, which for 10 years has controlled a treacherous waterway which once sent raging floods through Black canyon, pour- ing a destructive force against the communities far downstream. For 10 years Boulder dam has trapped the silt-laden waters which have poured through the Grand canyon, and then released them, settled and clear. For 10 years Boulder dam has | made possible the generation of 1,835,000 horsepower of electric | energy, which will return its en- |tire cost and create a surplus in 50 years, Lake Mead, formed by the dam, the largest man-made sea in ol Frankoviches will make Davis Cioy.ilvublc for 550 miles and its waters are navigable for 115 miles, right into the Grand canyon. It is estimated that this recreational area will be visited by more than half a mil- lion people a year. Before Boulder dam was closed to the public as a national defense measure at the outbreak of war, £00,000 tourists; had chécked through the government guide service for a close-up look of this world-famous epgineering monu ment. Sports Mecca Now In the most non-aquatic country imaginable, Lake Mead is, becom- ing a sportsman’s mecca. It is well stocked with bass and bluegill. And the boating is the last thing you'd imagine in the midst of what was once desert country, Boulder dam's war record is al- ready legend. Its power ran many an aircraft factory and other vital industry on the Pacific coast. Its power and the water from Lake Mead made possible the production record of the Basic magnesium plant near Las Vegas. The Basic plant manufactured one-fourth of all the incendiary magnesium used by all the Allies during the war. Now the same power is being used in the paths of peace—to make ice boxes and washing ma- chines instead of the engines of war.
