BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. IL. The
University of Cincinnati and
Marquette University's Rambling
Warriors tonight were selected
and accepted bids to play in
two major collegiate basketball
tournaments next month.
Cincinnati, a high -scorin g
outfit with one of the Nations
outstanding records. will play in
the National Invitation Tourna-
ment at Madison Square Garden
March 1919 while Marquette
has accepted an at-large bid for
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association annual.tournament.
Cincinnati, which has won 10
games and lost only three. joins
Duquesne and Dayton. the only
other clubs selected so far for
the 12-team NIT competition.
One OF Top ScOFeTS.
The Bearcats have averaged
88.4 points a game and in Jack
Twyman, a 6-foot-6 senior, they
have one of the country's top
point producers. Twyman. a CO.
captain, along with Bill Lam
inert, another senior, has aver
aged 27.2 points.
This will be the second Ma
tional Invitation tourney trip
for Cincinnati. In 1851, the Bear
cats lost to St. Bonaventure in
double overtime in the first
round. They also played in the
first Holiday Festival in Madison
Square Garden in 1852.
Marquette, beaten in its sea-
son opener, has now built up the
Nations longest winning streak
by taking its last 18 games, with
its latest victory a 101-56 rout
of Bowling Green last night.
First At-Large Entry.
Selection of the Milwaukee
school-first of. nine at-large
NCAA tournament entries to be
chosen-was announced by Lew
Andreas of Syracuse University,
Eastern representative of the
NCAA Basketball Committee.
The Warriors will compete in
the opening regional round at
the University of Kentucky field
house in Lexington March 8.
They'll meet the Mid-American
Conference representative or one
Of two other-at-large members.
This will be the first NCAA
appearance for Marquette ranked
No. 9 in this weeks Associated
Press poll. Their selection was
announced ahead of schedule,
Andreas indicated, since school
officials apparently had been ap-
preached by the competing NIT.
Only Loss to Spartans.
Marquette, coached by Jack
Nagle, has had an extraordinary
season after dropping its opener
to Michigan State. 9l-72. After
that setback, Nagle instituted a
''hands off" policy, letting the
Warriors set their own pace for
the most part. They haven't
been beaten since. Last year
Marquette had an Ills record.

will decide the champion at

Few people will deny that water
ranks second only to defense as
national problem.
Each year we withdraw much
more from our underground
water reservoirs than goes into
them. Each year there are in
creasingly grave water shortages
in parts of our country. The abb
sence of additional water already
is a factor limiting growth and
development of many areas.
Realizing this, cities and states
are reaching out farther and
farther for water. And they are
disputing each others claim in
the courts and before Congress
sional committees.
The House Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee, of which l am
member, has been holding hear
ings on two major western recla-
nation projects requested by
President Eisenhower-U per
Colorado and Fryingpan-Arkan-
SaS..
A good part of the testimony on
the Upper Colorado Project was
devoted to dispute between
upper and lower Colorado basin
states-Colorado, Wyoming and
Utah versus Arizona and Califor-
nia-over Interpretation of the
Colorado River Compact. AS
sidelight, Arizona and California
disagreed over the amount of the
water each commended the lower
basin should get.
While we were discussing dis
tribution of the vital fresh water
of the West, we also held little
noticed hearing on a proposal
that may prove to be the answer
to the problem. This is the re-
search program on converting
saline water to fresh water, which
in many areas apparently is the
only remedy.
This program began in 1852
with Federal appropriation of
81 million to be spent in five
years. Under it, the Secretary of
Interior has directly assigned
specialists from his department
to conduct research. He also has
made Federal grants to finance
work by colleges and other agen-
cies. Aand he has coordinated
Federal research with that of
private organizations, whose work
in this field has been stimulated
by the Federal program. Today,
research work is being carried
on by scientific organizations in
The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1955-04-15

but the Bureau of the Budget has
ruled that all reports must be in
by 1857, so much of the research,
now incomplete, will have to stop
soon and be replaced by work on
these final reports.
Bills now in my Committee
would make the study a perma-
nent one and increase the auth
orization to Sc million.
Three years ago, when this pro-
gram started, it cost about 81, 500
per acre-foot to convert saline to
fresh water, using then-known
processes in small-scale plants
1t was estimated that large
scale plants, using those same
processes, could cut the cost to
around $500 per acre-foot.
That cost has now been reduced
to SIPS. If the proposed legisla-
ton is passed, it is planned to
build pilot plant that undoubt-
eddy will reduce the cost to 500
per acre-foot.
AS a base, researchers calcula-
ted at 500 to SIPS per acre-foot
the maximum cost that can be
borne by municipal and similar
uses, at $40 the maximum for
irrigation water. Today, Los
Angeles is reaching out for water
that will cost more than $50 per
acre-foot when delivered to the
consumer. San Diego would
gladly pay $500 for domestic
water. During the hearings, it
was brought out that Colorado
Springs recently offered to pay
$3.50 an acre-foot for water.
One researcher outlined the
aim of the program this way:
You see how tremendously
important the problem is when
you think of human being. One
great function of the body is to
separate salt from water, and that
is what the kidneys do. What
we are trying to do is produce a
kind of mechanical kidney that
will give the world the water it
needs. There are all kinds of ways
we can do this. There are 101
methods, all of them drawing salt
and water apart"
Those in the program indicate
that within 10 years water for
domestic use will be economically
feasible by one or more of these
methods.

slider it my duty to point out that
despite Dr.. Flesch's statements to
the contrary. present methods
include teaching by the phonetic
method and also by the thought
getting method.
One Johnny may make better
progress if exposed to a good
treatment in phonetics; another
Johnny may learn speedily
through being taught how to get
the thought in the content. In
my experience. this Johnny de-
rives great satisfaction and gives
evidence Of real pleasure in such
experience.
Having taught well over 1000
pupils to read successfully, can
say safely that the proportion of
Johnnies who can read exceeds
by far the proportion of those
who cannot read. DR.. Flesch
would have us believe that every
Johnny these days is a nom
reader. Unfortunately. not every
Johnny learns to read. but other
factors than teaching methods
have to be taken into considera-
ton.

DR.. Flesch uSed-to say the

his specious conclusions. But
since DR.. Flesch said in his book,

method is a question game, I
can understand how he could
make the mistake Of writing
this last book.

Of teaching. the successes. the
failures, and the causes of both
success and failure, for over so
years. Flesch ignored this evil
dence What he presents as

opinions which dispute much

Modern System Fails

To the Editor:
AS a mother with children
approaching school age, I am
vitality concerned with the meth
ods of education being used these
days. I am prejudiced against
the modern system of teaching
children how to read because /
feel that there is ample evidence
that 1t has failed. Reading is the
key to the door Of oppor-
tunity. -.
A child Of 5 or 6 is more eager
than he will ever be again to
learn to read. but If he is dis
couraged and bored by repeti-
tious nonsense, he will turn to
something more exciting. I asked
s. year : old boy last year
whether he liked to read in
school. He replied. "I love to read
but I'm sick and tired of Alice
and Jerry" Another first grader
read to US SO rapidly from her
school book that I wondered
whether I had r1isjudged the
modern schools. When gave her
a strange book to read she could
