Dam failure wrecks power systems
St. Francis debacle at once exemplifies poor foundation and vindicates gravity-type dam; completely demolished 35,000-kw. hydro-electric generating plant, put out of commission two other plants totaling 46,000 kw.; concrete gravity-type structure, arched in plan, but depending entirely upon its gravity section and foundation anchorage for stability; "highline bumps" first warning; foundation failure; reserve domestic storage only.
