Process to Make Salt Water
DHnkobIe Perfected by Navy
Light Equipment Would Ease Thirst
Of Shipwrecked Sailors Twenty Doys

The Navy announced today the
successful completion of a method
by which men adrift on life RATS
can produce fresh water from the
sea in less than half an hour.
The process was developed at the
Naval Medical Research Institute
at Bethesda, Md, under the direc-
ton of Capt. William L. Mann.
1t. William v. Consolazio, chief
chemist of the institute, gave a
demonstration of the process in
the Navy pressrooom today. He
produced from a little more than a
quart of sea water one pint of
palatable fresh water.
The experiments have reached
the stage, according to Capt. Mann,
where commercial firm is ready
to produce the complete outfit
needed, which includes four plastic
bags, about the size of a hot water
bottle, and enough packages of two
chemicals in sealed waterproof

containers to sustain one man for
20 days on a life raft.
1t was explained that onf Of the
chemical compounds is dissolved in
sea water and several chemicals in
the water are precipitated. Next
the mixture is poured into another
bag containing a filter. The liquid
at this stage Is still too alkaline to
be drinkable. 1t is put into the
third bag and step number one is
repeated, except that the second
chemical is used. After the chem
ical has been dispersed by kneading
and agitation the water Is filtered
into the fourth bag and then may
be consumed.
A change Of color determines
when the water is ready for drink
ing. The second chemical, the
name of which is restricted by the
Navy, turns the water pink. When
the kneading completes the purifl-
cation the water loses its color,

GasCoupons
PIeosure-Driving
Bon May Include
IS Midwest States

The assurance of some action to
get more gasoline for the drought
stricken Eastern area, in which the
District is the hardest hit spot, was
followed today by plans for issuance
of new '"TT' coupons by which the
Office Of Price Administrator hopes
to end trafflcking in black market
fuel.
Additional supplies, totaling some
$4,000 barrels daily, may be made
available to the Eastern consumers
through extension of the pleasure
driving ban to Is Midwestern States.
This action is in prospect through
the 1nsistence OF an informal joint
congressional committee, headed
by Representative Hartley, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey which is in
vestigating the causes of the Short
age.
The new "TT" coupons will re-
place the current single rs on July
In all parts Of the country ex-
cept the Eastern shortage area,
where operators must continue
using the old single "T'' until July
Is. The change, automatically
voiding surplus coupons, will pre-
vent unscrupulous users from selling
any unused tickets to black market
operators as they have done in the
past.
Coupons Must "Stretch."
Eastern drivers of trucks, taxicabs
and buses must stretch" their cur
rent coupons to July Is to accom-
plish 40 per cent reduction in
driving ordered by the Office of
Defense Transportation. The new
coupons will be valid in the shortage
area, however, to permit opera tors
In other sections to continue making
trips into the East in the course of
normal operations.
The congressional group is sched-
uled to meet again Thursday, when
1t is hoped Petroleum Administrator
1ckes will testify concerning extern
sion of the driving ban. The trans
fer of all control OPA now has over
oil and gasoline to Mr.. Ickes' Office
of Petroleum Administration for
War was advocated yesterday in a
bill introduced by Mr.. Hartley call
ing for the abolishment of OPA.
Maj. Jubal r. Parten director Of
transportation for PAW, and DR..
Charles F. Phillips, director of the
Automotive Supply Rationing Divi-
sion of OPA, appeared before the
committee yesterday. Both blamed
the East's gasoline predicament on
the breakdown of transportation
facilities and pointed out that re-
gardless of what was done elsewhere
little relief could be expected for
some time to come.
District Is Represented.
The District will be represented
on the committee by Representa-
tive D'Alesandro, Democrat. Of
Maryland, a member of the House
District Committee. 1t was point
ed out that he would be the most
logical member of Congress to speak
for the city.
Other members of the group are

Prosecutor Indicates
Says Search Continues
In Reoffirming Denial
Of Leesburg Report

Thomas William Clatterbuck, con-

formation that led police to search
for second death gun, Common
wealth's Attorney Charles Harrison
indicated today.
At the same time, however, he
said he knew second gun had not
been found despite a careful search
by State and county police
The prosecutor said he imagined
that police questioning Clatterbuck
at the Winchester Jail got some ad-
ditional information or they would
have made a search"
Search Continues.
He reported that the search was
continuing. The use of magnetic
dip needle in the Catoctin Creek,
which winds near the roads that
Clatterbuck said he Travelled on the
days of the mass slayings. has failed
to produce any gun, Mr.. Harrison
said.
The attorney also disclosed he had
received the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation report on laboratory
tests of bullets. blood and other ma
terials found on the farm of A. Nor
ris Love, first victim of the slayer
The other victims were Mrs. Love,
James Love, the son, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Russell, tenant farmer
and his wife.
Mr.. Harrison said he had not gone
over the report in detail, but he be-
lieved it contained corroborating
evidence. He said he did not be-
lieve there was new evidence in the
report. He refused to reveal whether
the FBI had found flngerprints on
the croquet mallet with which Mr.
Love was bludgeoned to death or on
James rifle, which Clatterbuck has
said he used on the other four vic
tins.
Questioned After FBI Report.
1t was because the FBI report in
dicated that bullets found in the
bodies were not fired from James
rifle that Clatterbuck was questioned
about second gun.
Reports that a second weapon
had been found, indicating that
Clatterbuck brought gun with him
when he visited the Love farm last
Tuesday, have been circulating In
Leesburg on the basis of a reported
conversation with Sergt. Charles w

who is alleged to have told a Lees

Midwestern Flood Loss
Set at 100000,

Midwestern floods during the last
two months caused approximately
$50 100000 damage to rural and
urban properties. Maj. Gen. Eugene
Reybold, chief of Army engineers,
told the Society of American Mill
tary Engineers yesterday in the
Hamilton Hotel. The Army officer.
who made an airplane inspection
trip of the flooded area, praised the
Red Cross, Coast Guard and Army
forces for their work.
He remarked that the levees from
Cairo, Ill, to the Gulf are sturdy
and very substantial' and would
hold the combined flood waters of
the Mississippi River tributaries at
one time. However, he said there
were levee works along the Missouri
River which were poorly placed with
inadequate foundations.
He reported he saw the new am
phfbious jeeps carrying people and
livestock to safety. Though the
loss OF life was small, he said, de-
struction OF highways, railroad lines
and bridges was costly.
