PERFECT METHOD
FOR MAKING SEA
WATER DRINKABLE
NEW METHOD OF CHEMICAL
DISSEMINATION IS ANNoUN-
CED BY REAR ADMIRAL
MCINTYRE

A simple and effective method
of making sea water safe TO drink
has been perfected and this new
method of chemical DISSEMINATION.
announced by Rear Admiral r. T
McIntire, Surgeon General of the
Navy, appears to be more prac-
ticable method of producing po-
table water than any yet devised
other than distillation.
1t was developed primarily for
use on rubber life RATS carried on
aircraft, where the carrying of
large quantities of fresh water is
impracticable.
The equipment consists of two
chemical compounds, which are
compressed to bar-of-soap size,
and four plastic bags. The latter,
when not in use, are rolled to con-
serve storage space. Each has a
capacity of slightly more than a
quart.
The development of a method
that would enable weakened or
wounded man, adrift on rubber
raft to produce drinking water
easily and without asSistance-has
challenged scientists for years.
Another must" heretofore unat-
tanned, is that the water shall not
only be saltIess but lacking in any
chemical or other substance that
would harm the drinker. Still an
other problem had TO be solved
was space economy. Stowage of
bulky equipment in small rub
Der raft is obviously impractic-
able.
In the newly devised method. IL
parts of water have been obtained
to every part of chemical The
process has a potential of IL to /
but this favorable output cannot
be expected to be achieved on a
raft at the mercy of the elements.
when a certain amount of loss is
unavoidable.
The use of all four of the plas-
tic bags, which may be worn by
cord around the neck, is recon-
mended. but the destination NAV
be carried out with only two. If
necessary. provided eac-~ contains
filter sack. In appearance the
bag resembles an elongated hot
water bottle.

Stephan Lawyer
To Appeal Over
TuttIe' S Head

Appeal directly TO the Supreme
Court of Federal Judge Tuttle's
denial of a petition seeking per-
mission TO ask the u. S. Supreme
Court for a new trial for traitor
Max Stephan, under sentence to
hang for treason, was indicated
by defense Attorney Nicholas
SaloWich today.
Tuttle rejected the pc tito n
yesterday on the grounds that the
petition had not been filed within
the time allowed by statute.
Salowich charged that the orig
inal indictment was faulty" and
listed new evidence involving
Stephan's recent charge that for
mer Postmaster William J. Nagel
participated in Nazi Pilot Hans
Peter Krug's escape plans.
Citing II overt acts in the in
dictment, Salowich charged that
evidence presented only shows
one man giving aid to an individ-
ual-not to an enemy country"
The petition was based upon a
federal criminal statute which pro-
vides for the right TO appeal upon
filing of writ of errors in cases
the death penalty.
In dismissing the motion, Judge
Tuttle told Salowich the statute in
question has been repealed, adding
that "even if it were not re-
.pealed, Stephan cannot take adj
vantage since he failed to file
within so DAYS"
