A—10 ENGINEERS PLAN | HYDRAULIC STUDY Europe to Be Visited to Get Ideas for New U. S. Laboratory. The American Engineering Council, launching a world study of water prob- lems, yesterday announced the appoint- ment of six civilian engineers to serve on an advisory committee, which, under Dr. George K. Burgess, director of the United States Bureau of Standards, will plan the design and equipment of the National Hydraulic Research Laboratory | recently authorized by Congress. Two of the members of this advisory | body, John R. Freeman of Providence, | R. I. international authority on hy- | draulics, ond William B. Gregory, pro- ! fessor of experimental engineering in ' ‘Tulane University, will spend several months studying the principal hydraulic laboratories of Europe, particularly Wwas announced. those of Berlin, Munich and Zurich, it ‘The new laboratory, for which Con- gress has appropriated $350,000, will be H the center of studies that will attack problems involving the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Hydraulic engineers are clamoring for more and more accurate data to meet their problems and large savings to in- dustry are expected to result from re- search work. Has Tentative Plans. | Mr. Freeman has prepared tentative | plans for the laborotory which will b2 established at the Bureau of Standards. It will be completed in about a year and ready to function in two years. Mr. Freeman is past president of the Amer- ican Society of Civil Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers. Other engineering members of the advisory committee are Sherman M. Woodward, professor of mechanics and hydraulics at the University of Iowa; Lewis F. Moody, consulting engineer. of Philadelphia; Ely C. Hutchinsan, editor of Power, New York, and Blake R. Van Leer, assistant secretary of the Ameri- can Engineering Council, Washington. On the committee also are the fol- lowing representatives of Government departments: J. P. Dean, office of chief of Engineers, War Department; S. H. McCrory, chief of the Division of Agri- cultural Engineering, United States Bu- reau of Public Roads, Department of Agriculture; N. C. Grover, chief hy- draulic engineer for the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. and E. W. Lane of the Recla- mation Bureau, Department of the In- terior, Denver, Colo. Seek Basic Data. ‘The laboratory will determine funda- mental data useful in hydraulic re search and engineering, including labo- Tatory research relating to the behavior and control of river and harbor wa- ters, the study of hydraulic structures and water flow and the development and testing of hydraulic instruments and accessories. “The hydraulic laboratory,” Dr. Bur- gass explained, “has become an absolute Tecessity to hydraulic engineers who are engaged in the design of reclama- tion works, water-supply systems, plumbing systems, canals, control works | for rivers and harbors and hydraulic | ;l;rgmss, pumps and accessories of all ANNUAL MEMOR'AL | nds. ““Carefully conducted tests in such a | laboratory furnished data which enabln: the designer to keep the cost of his | structure to a minimum and, what is| even more important, give assurance that | the structure will perform its assigned task in the future in the most effective | Jefferson Head, Carved on Mount way possible and with a minimum cost | for upkeep. Will Help Engineers. ! “This country is spending hundreds of | millions of dollars annually in engineer- | ing works of a hydraulic nature. Our engineers have developed probably the best and most economical methods in | the world for the handling of enormous | tional Memorial by 1933, with an Inde- | quantities of materials and for the erec- | tion of the structures. “But they have lacked exact data and & detailed understanding of the process of flow which would have enabled them to improve greatly upon the funda- mental features of their design.” The idea of a national hydraulic re- search laboratory was first proposed by Mr. Freeman in a presidential address before the American Society of Civil Engineers, L. W. Wallace, executive sec- retary of the American Engineering Council, said, “Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana had long cher- ished the same idea, in fact, had dis- cussed such a proposal with officials of the ~American Engineering Council,| CONTROVERSY FO[_-LOWS which was instrumental in bringing Mr. Freeman and Senator Ransdell together to discuss ways and means of bringing about a realization of the project. he legislation was begun in the Sixty-seventh Congress, September 8, 1922, when Senator Ransdell introduced Senate joint resolution 209. The ques- tion was then officially brought to the attention of the American Engineering ! Council, which_ organization indorsed | BY the Associated Press. the idea and has since continuously supported it.” COLORED MAN GETS . Hydraulic Expert JOHN R. FREEMAN. PROFESSORS URGED Report Opposes Accepting Pay From Firms for Research Involving Public Policy. By the Associated Press. The Committee on Ethics of the American Association of University | Professors has found it undesirable for members of college faculties to accept funds from private sources for investi- gations of a controversial nature asso- ciated with public policy. Its inquiry into this question resulted from the Federal Trade Commission investigation of public utility power companies in which it was asserted college professors had been employed by such concerns for the dissemination of propaganda. The committee's conclusions were summed up in a report prepared by Prof. E. R. A. Seligman of Columbia University, which was issued for publi- cation yesterday. The committee also found it undesir- able that academic or research institu- tions accept gifts from any business source, whether a public utility or not, if these funds are intended for the syp- port of research on any specific and controverted question of actual or prob- able public policy. The report said it was an “interesting fact” that in the Trade Commission’s inquiry in “almost every case of alleged improper activity the individual in question was either a subordinate in- structor or connected with the exten- sion department or with some technical day or night school.” In very few cases, it added, were | ‘regular instructors in the academic departments or teachers of economics in schools of business or elsewhere” involved in allegations of improprieties. PROGRAMS PLANNED Rushmore, S. Dak., to Be Unveiled Next. By the Associated Press. RAPID CITY. S. Dak. July 5.—The completion of Mount Rushmore Na- pendence day celebration in the Black | Hills each year until then, is tentatively planned by the Federal commission supervising Gutzon Borglum's mountain sculpturing. On July 4 next year it is planned to unveil the head of Jefferson, alongside the face of Washington, revealed in ceremonies yesterday. The celebration in 1931 probably also will see the start_of the Lincoln head, the final completion of Washington's face and the carving of the first two paragraphs of the brief American history to be written by Calvin Coolidge.
