Russia Building Dams To Surpass U. S. Projects Washington - IUPD - Two Soviet dams now being built in Siberia will far over shadow the John Day dam under construction on the Columbia river, destined to be America's most powerful. The Russian dams alto will loom higher than the 735-foot earth-fill OroVille dam now being built in California r-5 the nation's highest dam. These are among conclu sions in a report based on a tour of Russia last year by United States power experts. Six Million Kilowatts The report said the Kras noyarsk dam being built in Russia will have a capacity of six million kilowats, more than twice the ultimate 2.7 million capacity of John Day. It said another Soviet dam under construction will pow er, among other things, an aluminum plant that will out produce the entire aluminum industry of the Pacific Northwest. One Soviet dam, the Ingur- skaya project, will tower to 988 feet. Unlike the Oroville dam, but like the 726-foot Hoover dam on the Colorado river, the Soviet Union's high est dam will be of concrete construction. A rock-fill dam, the Nurek project, will rise to 984 feet- only four feet short of Rus sia's highest dam. Other Dams Planned The Soviet government also has approved the construction of two other dams which will overshadow the highest U.S. dams. A comparison of the Soviet and U.S. dams was made in a recently released report by a U.S. delegation which toured Soviet dam-sites late last year under Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall. Despite their height, how ever, no Soviet dam can touch the massive Oroville dam in volume. Ranking only third among U.S. dams, Oroville will have a volume of 78 mil lion cubic yards compared with 63.3 million cubic yards for the Sayanskaya rock-fill dam, which will be Russia's largest. Sayanskaya, Russia's fourth highest dam, will top Oroville by a mere three feet. For sheer bulk, the grand daddy of them all remains the Fort Peck dam in Eastern Montana, where American dam builders of the 1930s scraped and scooped 125.6 million cubic yards of earth to dam the mighty Missouri river. The great new Soviet dams are part of a vast electrifica tion program which Premier Nikita Khrushchev says will result In the Soviet Union overtaking and passing the United States by 1980.

The Jean Kerr play, still running in New York after a year and with three casts on the road, ap peared in Medford last night as a Broadway Theater league production, and the au dience loved it. The difference between "Mary, Mary'" and other Broadway comedies of recent years is, of course, the fact lhat Jean Kerr wrote it. This playwright is mighty skillful with words and a past master with the impertinent remark and the razor-edged retort. There's nothing new in the plot of "Mary, Mary," -but it does have love, mar riage and divorce as its theme. Everyone has been in love, or married, or divorced, or all three, and everyone in the audience "identifies" with those on stage, as the psychi atrists say. Laughter Ii Constant The laughter was almost constant last night during the acts, but the play has suffi cient sober and tender scenes for dramatic contrast. The New York cast, of "Mary, Mary" has Barbara Bel Gcddes and Tom Poston as the leads, but we doubt that they are much more out standing' than the troupe which played here last night. Patricia Smith is very like Miss Gcddes as to the way she handles her voice and de livers here lines; she is a sea soned and expert actress, and she turns in appealing per formance as the young wife who has been divorced with out quite knowing what has happened, or why it happened. John Lasell. playing oppo site Miss Smith as the div orced husband, is completely assured in his role of a prac tical and somewhat high minded member of a publish ing firm who discovers after leaving and divorcing his wife that life without her wasn't what he wanted after all. Burst of Applause When Jeffrey Lynn came on stage for the first time last night he was greeted with a burst of applause. Medford audiences like this actor, and his role in "Mary, Mary" is made to order. He plays handsome movie actor, no longer young, who decides he is falling in love with Mary. Clinlon Sundberg is anoth er one of those character act ors who are the mainstay of traveling troupes. He was ex cellent last night as a lawyer -one with a delightful sense of humor. He has some good comedy lines and rose to ev ery one. The cast was completed with Heddie Bates as Tiffany Richards, the young and beau tiful girl to whom the hus band turned "on the re bound" from his divorce. Miss Bates is really young and beautiful and she gives an impression of freshness and vitality. The next Broadway Thea ter league play is icheduled Jan. 20.-O.S.
