The Great Pyramid was built 758 feet square at the base and 481 feet high. Figured as a solid mass it would have required almost 3,400.000 cubic yards of masonry, which is about the amount of concrete placed in Boulder Dam. Deducting for passageways and chambers, the Great Pyramid actually contained when completed barely over 3,000,000 cubic yards of masonry. Decay of the outside stones down through the centuries has reduced the pyramid's base to 746 feet square, its height to 450 feet, and its mass to about 2,740,000 cubic yards. Concrete now being placed in Grand Coulee Dam already exceeds the pyramid's mass and eventually will total 10,250,000 cubic yards, making the "biggest thing on earth." Construction is just started on Shasta Dam, which will have a concrete content of 5,500,000 cubic yards.

Although completion of the Great Pyramid required the work of 100,000 men for almost a generation, the Shasta Dam contractor, employing an average of probably not more than 2,500 men, if allowed only 5 1-2 years. U.S. Army Weak, Gen. Craig Warns WASHINGTON, Malin Craig, chief of staff, urges as "a matter of major military importance" that the army's war rc- 1 serves of munitions be built up as soon as possible. To remeay "marked shortages" in reserves and in modern weapons for the regular army, General Craig in his annual report made, recommendations for more men, guns and ammunition.

These recommendations are expected generally to be reflected in President 1 Roosevelt's forthcoming rearmam ment proposals to the new Congress. I Reserves are far short of require- ments, the general reported to Secretary Woodring, both for an in-! itial protective force of 400,000 and the army of a million men which under general staff plans would be I formed in the first four months of a war. In men, the army's top ranking I officer proposed that the regular army be increased now by 3,000 to 1168,000, including 21,500 for the air corps. He suggested more intensive training for some 300 selected reserve officers, and an increase of 18,000 in the enrollment of col- lege reserve officer units. I In munitions, General Craig stressed what he said was a need for defensive weapons to cope with aircraft and tanks.

Specific recom- I mendations, applying to reserves as well as immediate equipment for the regular army included: 1.

KENNEDY 203 Earl Garrett St. Great Pyramid Yields Record for Size to Two Dams in United States For the second time in history the Great Pyramid of Egypt, which stood for thousands of years as the world's largest man made structure, is losing rank as man's most massive engineering achievement. The pyramid's masonry record of over 3,000,000 cubic yards established by the Cheops about 2500 B. C. has been surpassed twice in recent years by engineers of the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Boulder and Grand Coulee will be erected again in the construction of Shasta Dam of the Central Valley Reclamation Project.

Secretary of the Interior Harold L.
