Australia, Nov. 1 ——(CP)—-One of the world's largest engineering schemes was launched recently an this little town in New Soutlrwaies. about 60 miles south (If Canberra, Australia's capital. When finished in 25 years, the scheme will be as big as the Ten- nessee Valley Authority.- It is the Snowy Mountains Hydro- Eieotzic Authority. Work on the first of its 14 major dams was of- ficially opened in mid-October by golvernor-General William J. Mc- e . Here are some of its details. It will cost, at present estimates. near- ly 52200000900 ($492,800,000). It will Kenerate 1.720.000 kilowatts of elect- Plfi Power, as much as can bepro- duced from 4.000.000 tons of coal a year. It will irrigate 3,500,000 acres of fanm land. Experts believe the scheme will provide. five per cent more food Production. jobs and land for 100.- 000 farming folk, badly-needed power for industry, and 3 chance for Australia to increase her popu- lation to "20.000,000 in our time," as Immigration Minister Arthur Calwell claims she can. Vast areas will disappear under the rising waters of the new dams. including the town of Adaminalby- about the only town "down under" where it ever snows on Christmas Day. - Its people are doubtful about the big dam whose high water mark will reach to the settlements. centre. Snow- Fed Rivers The Snowy Mountains lie in New South Wales 11nd Victoria, in the southeastern corner of Australia. They're not very high by world standards. Kosciusko, the highest peak, is only 7.328 feet. But from their snowflelds runs a large part of Australia's total river flow. The Snowy River itself carries 1-20th of Australia's total river flow without providing water for either irrigation or power. Two other great rivers, the Murray and the Murrumbidgee. both rise in the Snowy Mountains. Into these riv- ers the dams and tunnels will divert the waters of the Snowy and its trlibutarles. Australia, far from being s. sec- ond North America, is the driest of all oonitlnents. Ehoperts say that successful farming needs at least 20 inc-hes o1 rain a year. Australia. av- erages only i7 inches and only n third of the country has more than 20 inches a year. ' But despite this shortage and ever-recurring droughts. nobody has done anything. until now, but talk about the wasted waters of the Snowy River. If New South Wales suggested diverting them to its Murrumbidgee River, Victoria arg- ued they should be diverted to her Murray River. So the argument went on for 70 years until the federal government took a firm hand. Claiming that the hydro-electric power 0t’ the Snowy Mountains was essential for de- fence, it persuaded New South Wales and Victoria to agree to a joint state-federal scheme. It will work out well for the statics since the federal scheme gives each of them far more than they could have achieved separately. SEEKS T0 RESTORE SIGHT NEW YORK, NOV. 1- (AP)— A surgeon sought anew today to restore sight to the eyes of a 10- year-old boy refugee, blinded from living in a darkened cave in Po- land. The boy, Sigmund Eisen- berg, fled 1o the cave to escape the Nazis. Its inky darkness plus a lack of vitamins led to blind- nesl. The new treatments are being given by Dr. Edmund Carter Rosenhauch, former Polish army colonel. It was Rosenhauch who two years ago at s displaced per- sons hospital in Munich first ex- amined the boy. He now is prac- tising here. i Sigmund arrived here earlier this week as a displaced person.

Nov. 1 — (AP) - The wealthy son of a, famous British naval hero plunged to his death from a. sixth-floor window of the Ritz Hotel today after he learned he was going totally blind. He was the Hon. Peter Beatty. 39, a handsome racing enthusiast who had hadeye trouble since birth. He was a son of the late Admiral of the Fleet, Earl Beatty. hero of the First World War Battle of Jutland. and a grandson of the late Marshall Field, Sr., famed Chicago merchant. His mother, Ethel, was Field's only daughter. The tall, dark aristocrat had spent thousands of dollars for operations both in Britain and the United States. But a. spedaltst told him recently his dim sight would soon be gone entirely. Infomiants did not disclose the specific nature of the ailment. Normally servants had to help Beatty whenever he walked. At the tracks his stable manager described for him the races he could not see. But Beaitty was reported to have gone alone on his last walk. "I am going up to the sixth floor to see a friend." he was quoted as telling his valet. He groped his way up the stairs. A few minutes la-ter painters working in a. nearby building say his body plummet from a back win- dow in a small areaway two storeys below street level. The coroner's inquest was tentat- ively set for Friday. Bcattys horse Bots Roussel won the Deathly in 1938.
