in the wake of weekend torren
tial rains and a hurricane Monday.

adound the* clock in an effort
to reach hundreds of families
driven from their homes by rain
swollen rivers that jumped their
banks and poured through dozens
of small villages.

nications and flooded roads in the
stricken area, hindering the move
ment of military convoys carry
ing food, medicine and clothing.

Grueiiing Completes Russian Tour
of Soviet Public Power Projects
“One of the disadvantages of
travel in Russia,” Senator Gruen
ing wrote, “is that one gets no
news from home. ... It has been
a new experience to be totally
without U. S. news of any kind
for so long.” The Senator’s office
in Washington has attempted to
provide a summary by letter of
what has been going on in'the
nation and Alaska, not forgetting
to give the World Series news.
The visitors found the weather
to be cold and damp in Moscow,
with rain every day, but at Toilisi
the climate was subtropical and
Senator Gruening reported he
promptly changed from his “Alas
ka uniform” green forest suit to
lightweight apparel. A postcard
from Solchi, showing a palm tree
silhouetted against a .sun-speckled
sea, carried the notation: “Yes,
this quasi-tropical scene, my chil
dren, is Russia, reputedly a land
of snow and ice. . . . But, alas,
it is raining cats and dogs, and
the Black Sea, momentarily for
getting that it is said to be as
blue as the Mediterranean, is
black.”
A tape recording which the
senators made during their trav
els carried this explanation by
Senator Gruening of the purpose
of the trip: “It is essentially a
trip which aims to find out what
we can about what the Russians
are doing with public power and
then to see whether we can’t use
that example to galvanize our ad
ministration to action and get the
Congress to go along on that. . . .
My particular interest in this is*
that I feel that one of the really
important things needed for the
development of Alaska is the har
nessing of our rivers and lakes to
develop hydro-power. The poten
tial is there, in great abundance.
We have the largest undeveloped
hydro on the North American
Continent. . . .
“Alaska bears the same rela
tion, in a way, to the North Amer
ican continent, that Siberia does
to the Eurasian continent. They
are both very relatively empty
areas, long underdeveloped, but
now the Russians are moving
ahead at great speed. They are
moving a lot of industries across
the Urals deep into Siberia; they
are harnessing their power; they
are creating great cities where
formerly there was a mere settle
ment or nothing at all. And if we
want to compete with them in the
field of industry, which, after all,
is the backbone of our national
strength, we have got to com
pete in this field. It is not enough
to compete in the arms race. We
have got to compete in the field of
education and in the field of de
velopment of our natural re
sources.”
Power Investigations
Planned in Alaska
Immediately following the vis
its to huge dams in Siberia, the
Senate subcommittee, at the invi
tation of Senator Gruening, flew
to power site^ in the 49th State.
Senator Muskie, who has long
standing speaking engagements in
the eastern United States, could
not make the Alaska trip. Sena
tors Moss and Gruening planned
to, accompanied by Clyde Ellis,
general manager of the National
Rural Electric Cooperative Asso
ciation; Vic Reinemer, executive
secretary to Senator James E.
Murray (D-Mont); Michael W.
Strauss, former U. S. Commis
sioner of Reclamation; Milton C.
Mapes, water and power expert
on the Senate Interior and Insu
lar Affairs Committee staff; Alex
Radin, general manager of the
American Public Power Associa
tion, and Theodore W. Sneed,
member of the Public Works
Committee staff.
