GRAND COULEE, Wash. W.R>.
Lnfiineers at Grand Coulee dam,
Washington, have done in five
years what might luivc taken na-
ture a century to do--cool 10,-
250,000 yards of concrete.
Newly-placed concrete produces
heat .which, unless disrated,
causes expansion and contraction
which can easily result in serious
damage to a structure. At Grand
Coulee, the danger was obviated
by circulating cold river water
through sleet tubing imbedded in
the dam.
The job required twq large
pump barges, 2,000 miles of pipe,
2 miles ol 3'--foot inspection
shafts, nearly six miles of other
galleries and shafts all at a costi
estimated at $1,400,000.
The pumping system reduced
concrete temperatures from as
high as 132 degrees to the uni-
form required temperature of 45
degrees.

WASHINGTON, June 20 ' •
President Roosevelt told < • ti-
gress today Germany tried t >
drive the United State:; off the
dumb j high seas by the ''ruthless" 111!;-
ing of the steamer Robin Mour
and proclaimed America will not
yield to such "outrageous and in-
defensible acts of an internation-
al outlaw."
The Presiden told Nazi Gr«i-
many the "United States will
neither bo intimidated now nor
will it acquiesce in plans for
world domination at tlie hands o£
leaders Germany may have."
"We must take the sinking of
the Robin Moor as a warning to
H e U. S. not to resist the Nazi
movement for world conquc.it,"
(It President said.
"It is a warning the United
States may use th(. high >eas only
■with Nazi Consent."
"Were we told to yield on this
we would inevitably submit to
world domination al the rands of
present leaders of the German
Reich."
"We are not yielding and rva
do not propose to yield."
Using the terms "outrageous,"
indefensible," "brutality," Mr.
Roosevelt declared this country
holds Germany strictly account-
able for the destruction ol the
Robin Moot. The American ves-
sel was sunk by a submarine in
the South Atlantic on May 2i,
and 16 passengers and the new
later rescued.
