Army Engineer
Discusses Future
Power Projects
Portland -4UPD- Construction
projects costing an estimated
$1,800,000,000 to meet the
maximum power demand of
the Pacific Northwest will be
needed in the next 15 years
according to Col. Allen F
Clark Jr., Division Engineer,
of the Army Corps of En
gineers.
Col. Clark said that this is
the cost estimate of new pro
jects recommended in the
revised Columbia River 308
report.
He said that by 1985, 33
million kilowatts of power
will be needed and in 50
years, in 2010, the load would
be about 55 million which is
ten times the present power
output of 5,600,000 kilowatts.
Barge Channels
On the navigation aspect of
the report, Col. Clark said
"... after careful study of
the potential traffic of the
area, we. have recommended
that the navigation barge
channels be extended from
the head of McNary pool near
Pasco, Wash., to the vicinity
of Rock Island dam involv
ing construction of locks at
Wamapum' and Priest Rapids,
"For the Columbia river ex
tension to Rock Island it is
estimated that traffic on the
order of 1,800,000 tons will
move on that river at the mid
point between 1965 and 2015,
representing an annual sav
ings of about $3,300,000," Col.
Clark said.
Corps' Judgment
Col. Clark said that the
plan presented by the Corps
of Engineers is by no meansi
the only possible plan, but
based on the Corps' judgment
it is the best plan.
"There must be an early
resolution of difefrences and
agreement so that federal, pri
vate or public construction
agencies can get on with the
job. It is essential to the fu
ture of the Northwest," Col
Clark declared.
Latin America's largest steel
mill is Volta Redona, 60 miles
from Rio de Janeiro. Its cap
acity is 600,000 tons a year.
FREIGHTER. TUG COLLIDE
Singapore -4DPD- The Japan
ese freighter Takeshima Ma
ru collided with a tug when
it was entering the harbor
yesterday. The tug sank with
in minutes. One crew mem
ber was killed, nine were res
cued, and four were listed as
