Moose and Driftwood
For my next try at some

wheat as q background to the

Meteorologists say there IS Ut.
tie question that winters have
been warming UP over the slasi
so or 80 years. averaging about
two degrees In most American
cities. Since 1870. the mean an.
nuai temperature has risen 4 de.
grees In Philadelphia and 2K

That doesn't sound like much
Of an increase. until YOU realize
that an average annual drop Of
only 10 degrees would put u
into another ice age.
AS for rainfall, there are vio-
lent regional fluctuations from
year TO year. but the Nationwide
average remains almost constant
at so inches annually some
4,300 billion gallons a day.
Why. then. isn't there plenty
Of water as usual?

stable . says Carl @. Pauisen

Scientists explain that about
10 per cent Of the water that
falls on the land as. rain returns
to the atmosphere by eyapora-

The Geological Survey says
tion-wide usage now totals
about 200 billion gallons daily
BY 1875, 1t Is expected TO rise
to 400 billion or roughly one
third Of the total available
supply.
That's getting uncomfortable
close to the limit. considering the
vast and unwieIdy problem d
distributing the water where Il
is needed.
New Sources Sought

vate industry, are anxiously

Iurnabout witness Harvey M.
MatusoW today testified that for
mer Communist Elizabeth Bent
ley told him in 1852 that Il just
had to continue to find informa-
ton to testify about in order to
live"
The 28-year-old Self-styled
perpetual and habitual liar, in
George Washington Birthday
appearance before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee,
was called upon to explain an
allegation he made yesterday
that Miss Bentley had told him
she had given false testimony.
MatuSow said that he had met
Miss Bentley for dinner in a
New York hotel on his birthday
October 3. 1952-and that be-
tween crying jags she had told
him she was broke.
"She said she was out of work
and had. used up all the money
she had received from the pub
lication of her book and that
she didn't want to talk to the
Government or the FBI any
more" the witness said.
Says She Wanted Salary.
He then quoted Miss Bentley,
who has been frequent witness
for the Government and before
congressional committees inves-
tigating Soviet espionage, as fol-
lows:
you're a man, you're young.
you can go out and find job.
I can't just have to con-
tinue to find information to tes-
tify about in order to live"
MatuSow added that Miss
Bentley told him that hereafter
she wanted a salary as a Gov
ernment witness and not the SO
per diem she was used to receiv-
ing.
Chairman Eastland then asked
whether this testimony was the
whole basis for his charge that
Miss Bentley told him she had
given false testimony.
The witness replied: That's
the whole story"
Remembers One Who Saw Him.
He did say that several per-
sons had seen him with Miss
Bentley that evening. but he
could remember only the name
of one-Llewellyn Watts, whom
he identified as a former room
mate and a member of the
Young Republican Club of New
York.
Matusow was questioned close
ly by Committee Counsel Jay
Sourwine about telephone calls
he made from a New York apart
ment in 1854.
The witness said he had called
Jack Anderson. a legman for
Columnist Drew Pearson; Col
umnist Joseph Alsop and an
aide to Senator Mansfield. Dem
ocrat. Of Montana.
