Oakland Tribune April 11,19 1 Car moves right inside Alameda home but driver and nine persons at dinner escape injury Bay Model as Tidal Wave Study Urged Suggestions that the U.S. my Corps of Engineers San Francisco Bay model could be used to study the effects of tidal waves on San Francisco Bay have come from officials at all levels of government. But Army officials said the big scale model of the Bay may be out of business, or be operated only on a maintenance basis, when present federal appropriations expire June 30. The model, which covers a square block area in a Sausalito warehouse, has wave making machines, and simulated tides and river flows, Corps spokesmen noted. Gen.

Harry Van Wyke, deputy director of the California Disaster Office, said the idea would be discussed at a meeting of state and federal officials in Sacramento Wednesday. William Ward regional director for the state Disaster Office, said the model could test all types and sizes of waves under differing tidal conditions to determine which areas of the Bay are most prone to damage. San Jose is the only waterfront city inside the Bay with a working tidal wave disaster plan, and that plan applies strictly to closing valves at the city's new sewage treatment plant, Ward noted. Oakland has no tidal wave plan at present, said Lt. Ellis Goode, local civil defense coordinator.

"It would be a good idea to find out what the potential damage is here," he said. Capt. Emmett Sheridan, district officer for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, said the Army Bay model would be a good tool to "advance the state of the art" of tidal wave study. Since the Bay model was constructed in 1957 have produced almost 60 books about the Bay.
