suggestion that the government
had taken the position that if the
correspondents did not like the
situation they could get out OF
the country.
A 785-word Associated Press dis
patch on Stilwel's departure had
SIS words cut out by the Chinese
censor after it had been passed in
full by the American censor and
the sense of one sentence was
changed by the excision OF four
words.
Stilwell received word from
Washington of his recall late in
the afternoon Oct. 10. The next
afternoon he formally 'bade fare
well to Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek and the next day left by
plane.
Iron-clad American and Chinese
censorship prevented Chungking

The new study mainly will at
tempt to evaluate the amount of
water needed for the crops growing
on the land, The study should in
dicate water waste and therefore
be OF future value in keeping down
the water table as well as salt
table, it was believed.
The continuance of sump studies
and the investigation Of better
methods of construction to take
more water out was agreed. The
committee gave an okey TO con-
tinuance of the following related
research studies as well: The con-
struction of additional sumpS after
laboratory studies; the evaluation
of sand layers as to their ability
to carry water; piezometer studies
as related to canal seepage and
other field water problems.

are mainly non-harmful gypsum

by Fox on the past six months work,

meter studies by Donnan.
DRAINAGE PROBLEMS
It was also brought out in the
meeeing that the efficiency of
drainage bitches has been found
to depend largely upon the topog-
raphy of the land.
