Freakish Landslide Resting precariously on the edge of a
huge crater, this home was almost gobbled up when an un
derground quicksand layer shifted in Brecksvillc, Ohio. The
freakish landslide wiped out 500 feet of Fitzwatcr road (fore
ground), warped and ruined a state highway department build
ing and buckled Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks. A family
of four, asleep in the house when the slide occurred, was
aroused by water department employes who were repairing

Briton Says Reds Unable
To A-Bomb U.S. Targets
London, Feb. 10 (P) A British expert says the Soviet air force
is as strong tactically today as any in the world, but it would
still be unable to carry the atom bomb to Washington or New
York without advanced bases far
Ashcr Lee, who was a wing
rinrin& the war. made the stale-'?
ment in a book entitled "The
Soviet Air Force," published to
day.
Russia, he said, has about
12,000 operational military
planes two air armies of
about 1,000 such planes each
attached to each of six So
viet army headquarters.
The Soviet Union, the Soviet
zone of Germany and other
countries under Russian domina
tion together are manufactur
ing 40,000 to 50,000 planes a
year, said Lee, which "would
enable the Soviet air force to
maintain about 15 air armies,
each with a strength of 1,000 to
1,500 aircraft.
"In the realm of tactical
air warfare she (the Soviet
Union) probably is at least as
strong as any other air force
or group of air forces in the
world," wrote Lee, an ac
knowledged authority in the
RAF on German air force dur
ing the war.
Lee in 1946 wrote a book
called "The German Air Force."
A foreword to this by U.S. Air
Force Gen. Carl Spantz said Lee
knew more about the German
air force than most men.
On delivery of the atom bomb,
Lee had this to say:
"The Soviet air force has no
long range bombers which will
carry the atom bomb more than
1,000 miles from base."
He added that Russia's long
est range bomber, the Tu-70,
copied from the U.S. B-29,
could go that far, and Russia
had a copy of the B-36 In the
prototype stage.
Registered Nurses
Seek 40-Hour Week
Portland, Feb. 10 W) Regis
tered nurses of Oregon want a
40-hour work week for the same
pay they now get for 44 hours.
Their present minimum is $210
a month.
The Oregon State Nurses as
sociation sent letters to hospitals,
clinics and industrial employers
explaining the profession must
be improved. The association
said "To attract more nurses . . .
our working conditions must
compare favorably with other
fields of employment for wom
en." Committees representing both
nurses and management were
also asked for each hospital.
These would confer on employ
ment problems.
The nurses want straight pay
or equivalent for all overtime
work and $10 monthly premium
for evening or night duly, com
municable disease attendance
and being on call for emergency
work. They also want periodi
cal $5 pay increases based on
service at one hospital. These
would come at six months, a
year, two and three year anni
versaries. Clearance!!

HELL'S CANYON HEADACHE
Damsite Poses America's
Toughest Building Plans
By WILLIAM B. HATCH
Washington, Feb. 10 U. Building of the proposed Hell's Can
yon dam on the roaring Snake river may be the toughest job
in American construction history.
Engineers here today outlined
Interior Oscar L. Chapman
recommended to congress earlier
this week, and said it presented
some "mighty tough problems."
...
For one thing, they said, the
spectacular dam will be far
from good roads and railroads.
It will be located about 104
miles north of Weiser, Ida., on
the rugged Idaho-Oregon border.
Secondly, there is at present no
sign of a decent access road to
the canyon bottom, 6,000 feet
below the rim.
"We're going to have to build
roads to the canyon, and then
figure some way for getting
men, material and heavy
equipment to the bottom of
the canyon," one of the bureau
of reclamation engineering
staff said.
The problem faced by engin
eers who will build the Hell's
canyon dam, if it is authorized.
will be tougher than those at
Hoover dam on the Colorado,
engineering experts said. The
dam is in such a deep, narrow
canyon that "we may have to
chip a highway down to the
damsite right out of the hard
bedrock.
To the canyon rim the bureau
said a "heavy duty highway"
would have to be built. The road
would run from Council to the
damsite, 40 miles of it over an
existing logging road, and the
last 23 miles new construction.
The existing road from Halfway,
Ore., to Big Bar, where the con
struction campsite probably
would be located, "must be im
proved," the bureau said.
The railroad line would be
brought in from Homestead,
Ore., to the site of the dam.
Once equipment is gotten to
the rim of the canyon the
problem of getting such mas
sive items as generators, bull
dozers, cranes and trucks to
the bottom will be tackled.
At Boulder canyon the con
tractors had to build a road to
augment the tramway which
was suspended on a giant cable
and which is still being used by
the bureau to lower and raise
equipment from the bottom of
the canyon. At Glen Canyon,
also on the Colorado river, the
bureau is contemplating an in
clined cable-car railway, some
what similar to a ski lift such
as those at any big ski resort,
only much bigger.
However, the cost of operat
ing either a tramway such as
as at Hoover Dam or an in
clined cable-car system would
be "tremendous over a period

the project, which Secretary of
of years such as' would be re
quired to build Hell's Can
yon," the bureau said. "The
cheapest way in the long run
will be to build a highway
from the rim down to the can
yon bottom."
Engineers say there is an
ample supply of concrete materi
al nine miles from the dam site,
and that if gravel is needed "an
ample supply" is available near
Weiser, 104 miles away.
Engineers in the bureau of
reclamation admit they've got
ten themselves into a tough spot.
7 Groups for
Monopoly Check
Washington, Feb. 10 ff)
Rep. Celler (D., N. Y.), said after
a White House call today that
President Truman told him to
"go ahead full steam" with his
investigation of concentrations
of economic power.
"He said he would continue
to encourage me in the inquiry
and would get all the (federal)
departments behind it," Celler
told reporters.
Celler heads a house judiciary
subcommittee which has been
looking into the question of how
anti-trust laws are operating
and whether any changes are
needed. Celler speaks of it as
the "monopoly invesigation."
Some hearings were held last
year. Celler has set a new
series of hearings to begin March
15 when the committee will look
into operations fo U. S. Steel
Corporation.
Celler said that after U. S.
Steel the group will go into:
1. The "Canadian newsprint
monopoly.
2. The "DuPont Dynasty."
3. The soap industry, "par
ticularly Lever Bros, and its
British parent company, Unilev
er." 4 . Pan American Airways.
5. The "distillers' control
over " barrel making.
6. The "Shubert theater
trust."

Korea, Formosa
Get $60 Million
Washington, Feb. 10 VP) The
house voted 239 to 134 last
Thursday for economic aid to
communist-shadowed Korea and
Formosa.
The vote sent to the senate
a measure which:
1. Authorizes the Economic
Coop e r a t i o n Administration
(ECA) to spend another $60,
000,000 by June 30 on raw ma
terial imports and capital im
provements in Korea.
2. Extends the life of the
China aid act to June 30. This
will let ECA spend in Formosa
part of $103,000,000 of China
aid funds that it has on hand.
Chairman Kee (D., W. Va.), of
the foreign affairs said actual
spending up to June 30 on aid
to Formosa probably will not
exceed $10,000,000 and likely
no more than $5,000,000.
