Engineers in Punjab
Fight !. WaferIogging
OF Irrigated Areas
By Phillips Tolbot
Foreign Correspondent Of The sior and
The Chieeeo Doiiv Nexe

the Chicago Dolly News
r. NEW DELHI, India, Dec. IA
Punjab engineers, who helped build
the worlds most extensive irriga-
ton system in India's northern
wheat bowl, have now launched a
$50, ,000, 900 attack against water
logging, one crop-killing byproduct
Of the irrigation program.
| With comprehensive scheme
adapted from American experience,
they hope to defeat the salt coating
that ruins fertile farm lands in
some of the irrigated regions.
2 Already the salt scourge has af-
fected 100000 acres. It is spread
ing at the rate of $4,000 acres a
year. Specialists see in it a serious
threat to the prosperity of the
Punjab.
Subsoil Water Rises.
The blighting white crust occurs
when the subsoil water-level rises
to within few feet of the surface,
leading to steady evaporation in the
PunJab's hot and dry climate.
Technicians are certain that the
principal cause of the rising water
table is irrigation canal seepage.
1 For 20 years they have tried un-
successfully to stop seepage by such
measures as lining canal beds and
constructing natural and seepage
drains,
Now, as grand experiment, they
are trying to pump enough water
out of affected subsoils so that the
water table falls below the eyapora-
tion level.
Engineers expect the results to
agree with American experience in
deep well pumping, which has
'caused water tables to fall some
times to alarming degrees.
Difficulties Cited.
: The Punjab's primary difficulty |
In executing this plan is lack of |
power to operate the necessary
pumping machinery.
AS a major part of the new prof.
ect, therefore, 22,000-k -kilowatt pow
er plant has just been started at
Rasul, near Jhelum. 1t will l'be oper-
;ated with water diverted from the
upper Jhelun Canal to the lower
,Qhelum Canal.
. This plant, besides furnishing
power for the antiwaterlogging prof.
5ect, will be tied in with the exist
ing electric grid in the Punjab. It's
capacity will make electricity avail
able to % additional towns in the
province.
Sale of electricity should bring
D return that will equal the capital
outlay within - years, planners
estimate. They expect the project
to be ready for full operation in
,1s48.

PICKETING THE PICKETS

NEW racket has developed in the world of labor relations
"A In place the odfashioned and dscredted scheme OF
mobzng strikebeakers- buies willing to slug men,
and women the picket line-antiunion employers
picket the pickets."
The idea is to capture publicity and turn sentiment
against the strikers OF course, the newspapers oblgngy
shoot pictures and display them conspicuously In that
way the papers obge rich advertisers and put their own
dislike of unions.
An example of this technique occurred in the ma
ons capital recently Fifteen individuals described mon
union clerical and technical employees of the Trans
Airline (TWA marched in front of the Hamilton Hotel
where David L. Behncke, president of the A. F. of L. Air
Line Pilots Association, maintains headquarters

signs reading: "Ths Is Our Lunch-Al We Can Afford
They tried put the impression that they try-
ing" while the Pilots striking for high wages"
Significantly however, these young ladies had all
the way from New York and evidently well supplied
with funds their bills at fancy hotels and for lunches
that lot more elaborate than just apples.
Also their signs contained not word of criticism OF
the management which was responsible for the stoppage
What happened in Washington is occurring all the
country In fact the widespread of the scheme shows it
has been carefully planned by employers
Probably it originally developed by high-prced
public relations who gets for blasting unions

POPULARITY POLL

made last month in of Fortune magazine
The following question asked in public opinion POLL

two do you least approve Off"
Then long list of names reeled off from which an
individual could make his choices 1t discovered that John
L. Lewis president of the United Mine Workers. is mighty
unpopular On the other hand William Green president
of the American Federation of Labor and Philip Murray
president of the CO. evidently fairly well liked accord
ing to the poll.
If this is the technique of Fortune magazine, why
doesn't it ask the general public Do you approve disa
prove of Fortune magazne Then if the results show that
most people dsapprove have heard of the magazine
Fortune should go out of business.
Frankly whether the public likes doesn't like certain
