Ceremony Starts
St. Lawrence
Power Project
MASSENA, N.Y., HP!—A dyna
mite blast Tuesday touched off
the long-heralded, 600-million
dollar St. Lawrence River power
project, as President Eisenhower
hailed the project as “another
strand in the strong fabric that
binds the destinies of Canada and
the United States.”
The President sent a telegram
of congratulations to officials at
ceremonies beside the turbulent
International Rapids here as New
York’s Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
and Prime Minister Leslie H.
Frost of Ontario broke ground for
the construction of a hydro-elec
tric development.
An aerial bomb arching high in
the hazy sunshine over the river
gave the signal for Dewey to set
off a dynamite explosion on near
by Barnhart Island.
The blast turned the first earth
for a power project that by 1958
will be sending out more electric
ity than the Tennessee Valley
Authority— 12,600,000,000 kilo
watts a year, to be shared by nine
states and -Canada.

j Alaska Labor Chief Says
Better Homes Needed for
Alaska Railroad Employes

| accommodations for employes and
a deterioration of their morale.
The manager of the govern
ment-owned railroad, Mr. Kal
baugh, is out of the city and not
available for comment on Ben

tion was made on the basis of
employes’ complaints.
