While plans are being formu
lated for the second postwar
Olympic games in 1952, it brings
to mind that two Nebraska ath
letes who represented the United
States in the 1936 Olympics. Sam
Francis, All-American fullback,
placed fifth in the shot put at
Berlin, and Paul Amen was a reg
ular on one of the two American
b;i: cball teams that played abroad.
Francis is an Army officer in Pan
ama now, and Amen is coaching
at West Point.
The late Henry Schulte. who
was recently elected to the Helms
Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame
as a track coach, was the Amer
ican decathlon coach in the 1928
Olympic games.

(5) The Corps of Engineers are
responsible for flood-control and
navigation dams, including five
major multiple-purpose dams on
the Missouri River one of which
(Garrison) will be the world's
largest earth fill dam.
(6) The vast program, with so
many participating state-federal
agencies, is being coordinated in
the Missouri Basin Inter-Agency
Committee, w has given the
program effi. direction and
functions in the interest of the
people of the entire basin.
STREATER SAID in part: "The
spectacular dam in the future will
not only serve to protect our
lands, homes and industries from
floods, but it will provide storage
water for irrigation of cur crops
in periods of drouth, dependable
water supply for communities,
production for power that will en
courage industrial growth, elec
tricity for power and light to the
farms, and better fishery, wild
life and recreational resources."
Pointing to a local application
of the Missouri Basin program,
Streater said "At the present time
it is estimated that over 3,000,000
acre feet of water leaves the
Platte river basin at Plattsmouth,
Neb., each year. After full de
velopment of the Platte River
basin under the present Bureau
of Reclamation program, only
1,000,000 acre feet of water will
leave the basin unused.
"A LOOK INTO the future on
the Platte river alone you will
see 16 new resrvoirs in addition
to the five existing ones, 1,500
miles of new irrigation canals in
addition to the existing 700 miles
of canals, 24 new diversion dams
in addition to the 13 existing di
versions, and 14 new hydroelec
tricplants in addition to the 13
now existing. Over 4,000 private
irrigation wells will be added to
the 6,000 now existing.
"Project this development on
one tributary alone to the entire
Missouri basin and you can see a
plan which will transform 5,000,-
000 acres of range and dry .lands
into crop producing areas; a
stabilized living for over 3,000,000
people; and an added cash value
of crops estimated at $300,000,000
annually. Add to these the value
of a stabilized livestock raising
and feeding industry and you
have some idea of the benefits
possible through the great Mis
souri Basin Project."
