Both beautiful and 11.we Mme was the spectacle as ,·a)\'es were lurnrd and spillway gates lo\\·ered, set ting the tremendous cascade In motion Bright sunlight turned the billows of spray Into rlouds of sparkling dia monds.

THE GREAT l(Btcs \Vhich held the Columbia In check startl'd to o p e n at 2 :55. Bo.ginning in the middle of the dam's span the gales were opened one by one and at 3 :05 the hul(e river came tumbling down the fa"e of the dam In white fu1·~·. At tirM the tumbling w11. ter appeared like an 11.va Janche of snow, but within a few moments the torrent o,er the crest was trans fo.rmed Into a transparent green, giving an undescrib able effect of majesty and power. The flow Is approximate ly :?00,000 cubic feet a sec ond. or enough to provide every man, woman and child In Seattle with five gallons of water each tick of the second hand. It would fill a train of railroad tank cars ninety miles long ev ery minute of the day and night. SIGNIFICANCE of the birth of the giant waterfall lies in the fact that now, _ for the first time, the glgan- tic 108,000 - kilowatt gener ators operated by the Unit ed States Bureau of Recla• matlon will be able to pro duce power at close to U1elr capacity. The width of the water fall Is 1,650 feet or nearly 11. third of a mile, 11.nd It drop, 310 feet down the 4.5- dcgree slC1pe of the dam. 'I11e !nltlal lowerlnr of th• series of sp!llway gates was & complicated operation. Due to the war, It has been Impossible so far to obtain required parts for the planned push button electrl· cal control of the rates , hence today's operation was carried out by the hand turning of th• mechanism. IN ORDER to prevent sudden flow of such a large volume of the Columbia that a danierou1 tidal w a v • would be created and sweep down U1e river, one crew had to gradually close the !erles ot eight and one-half foot overflow valves In the face of the dam, while at the same time the 1plllway gates above were lowered al,,wly In a coordinated op eration that demanded split second timing and team work of a high order. The historic event, which brought out a large crowd of spectators, was of spe cial interest to W. I.

THE EIGHTH DECAD E, 1933-1942: iirnttle Jn.et-JJntrlligmm· Sun., Apr. 7, 1963 H 3 Depression Decade Builds To Boom NEW YEAR DAY, 1933, dawned on a nation sick with depression. Seattle had breadlines, a shanty-tO\rn namC'd Hooverville, unemployed citizens forming po litical groups seeking panaceas, idle induis· trial plants and empty piers on the waterfront. Circulation of The Post-Intelligence7', publishing at 6th Avenue and Pine Street, had dropprcl from well over 100,000 to un's most roJo;-ful mayors. issueen eighteen and sixty-five In a broad plan to pool the nation's man p o w e r for all · out war against the Axis powers. NOW THE Senate and House versions will be con sidered In conference be tween representatives of the two bodies, with the major Issue whether the bottom age for the draft shall be twenty-one or nineteen. The Senate action marked a personal triumph for P resident Roosevelt, who had u r g e d Congress to reach In to the teens for the country' s armed forces, only to have the House buck his wishes. Senator Johnson, Repub lican, and Downey, Demo crat, of California, cast the only dissenting votes to night, a1ter Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staf!, echoed his comman der-in-chief with a letter to the Senate setting forth substantially the I am • views. e q _. i" Havoc ~rom Japanese Attack At Pearl Harbor UNITED STATES DESTROYERS Downes (left) and Cassin lie partly 1ubmer&'ed In the waters of Pearl Har• bor alter the December 'l', 1941, 1neak air attack by .Japan. Behind them b the UM Pennsylvania, flagship of the Pacl!lo Fleet, whJch ,uttered llttle damage, Nine• teen vesoell and 177 planea were Jost, , "heavy" losses to the navy came from the White House Itself, and led some to con nect the phrase with recur r.ng unofficial reports that a battleship of the line had been sunk. There were un official reports, too, that a Japanese aircraft carrier had been sent to the bottom. AND FROJ\I Senator Mc Nary of Oregon, the Repub lican floor leader, came a statement that his party colleagues would "all go along with what I~ done." APPARENTLY at almost the exact time of the Pa cific bombings the Japa nese embassy called the State Department for an appointment which carried the futile peace negotia t ions of the last few months to a fitful and flickering conclusion. SECRETARY o! War ,--------------------------------------------- As quickly as word of th• first bursting bomb WH H· ceived, the President H commander-In-chief called upon the army and navy to repel the attack. The first Intimation that a resolution would be pre sented In Congres1 came from Attorney General Bid· dle. He added, In response to another question, that a war declaration would con• fer vital powen on the Pre1!dent which he would not otherwise have. During the day, Japanese planes bombed Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and Hickam Field, without warning, In a broadcast from Honolulu, some 350 soldiers were re- Army airmen engaged Japanese fighting planes over Honolulu. In the city below them, the White House 1aid, a heavy loss of lite had been Inflicted, to gether with extensive dam age to property.

It was a calm, unhurried capital that went to war today, a capital completely devoid of parades, cheer lngs and the usua.l , xuber• a nt outbursts o! demonstra t ive patriotism. A cluster of people peering through the pickets of the White House fence, and apeclal guards posted at 1ome bu il rl ings, was the only out ward evidence of what had ta ken pla ce.
