Engineer Blows Up On Dam Query WASHINGTON Wl Tile Hells Canyon ' hearing twas enlivened Thursday by a Reclamation Bu reau engineer's refusal to answer a question which, he called "ri diculous." , - After stoutly defending the bu reau's standards lor dam design and -construction during nearly four days of cross-examination, Louis -Q. Euls finally balked, say ing- "that's a ridiculous question and requires no answer." Puis was testifying at a Power Commission hearing on Idaho Power Co.'s applications to build three1 dams in the . Snake River between Idaho . and Oregon:, where a public power project has been proposed. As R. P. Porry, Idaho Power attorney, questioned Puis about his designs for the federal project, noise outside the hearing room and hissing of the heating system made hearing difficult: The "ridiculous" question was whether the Reclamation Bureau makes a practice of excavating to bedrock at dam sites before call ing for bids from contractors. Puis later gave a 10-minute lecture upholding the bureau's standards, which he said had been unjustly criticized In newspapers and magazines and which Idaho Power witnesses have attacked. Parry sought to bring out Thurs day that design and construction standards are. constantly chang ing. He said protects "cannot be standardized and each develop ment requires an Independent design and construction method. . . each Is custom built, tailored to individual sites." Puis agreed that dam structures can't be standardized but said that Isn't necessarily the case in con struction of power plants. Parry said experience gained at the Hungry Horse project in Mon tana caused Puis to scale down Ills estimate of the quantity of cement that would be required at Hells Canyon. Puis said that was true. Parry said some engineers claim a great deal of money could have been saved In construction of Boulder Dam In Nevada if a straight gravity type structure had been built instead of an arcn type dam. Puis said he had nothing to do with the Boulder Dam design. CHICAGO POTATOES CHICAGO Wl Potatoes: Arrivals i, on track 277; total U.
