More Pause
To Europe
DUBLIN.

A noticeable trend in European
tourism during the past few
years has been the growing pop
ularity Of Ireland.
During 1854. Ireland played
host to more Americans than
ever before In its history and
Irish tourist officials say that
present inquiries regarding Irish
vacations indicate that this
record would easily be surpassed
this year.
Several factors are contribut-
in to Ireland's popularity. It's
position as ''the Gateway to
Europe" its comparative mex
pensiyeness as compared with
other European countries, its
lack of language barrier and the
fact that it is small enough to be
toured completely in fairly
short time-all are features that
attract the average tourist who
has not unlimited time or money
to expend on a vacation. Added
to these are Ireland's delightful
scenery and the genuine friend
illness Of its people-the latter,
especially, is a factor that weighs
heavily with tourists.
Spring An TostoI
Another help in promoting
Ireland's popularity has been
the annual spring festival, An
Tostal. and. of course. the Dublin
Spring Show, the Dublin Horse
Show and Wexford Festival of
Music and the Arts.
This years An Tostal is being
held during the three weeks,
May 8 to 20, and an impressive
program Of cultural. social and
sporting events has been ar
ranged for the entertainment of
overseas visitors. Pageantry,
parades, drama festivals, music,
opera. folk dancing, art exhi-
billions, horse racing, horse
shows. golfing, fishing, hunting.
the traditional Gaelic games of
football and hurting and many
other events are included on the
list of special events.
Another attraction will be the
Dublin Spring Show. from May
3 to Z. Combining exhibitions of
Ireland's industrial and agri-
cultural products with a top
fight program of international
horse jumping contests, it closely
parallels the State fairs of the
United States and is conducted
in a light-spirited. social atmo-,
sphere.
Horse Show in August

of the famous international
horse shows, is a major event in

Few people will deny that water
ranks second only to defense as a
national problem.
Each year we withdraw much more
from our underground water reser-
voirs than goes into them. Each year
there are increasingly grave water
shortages in parts of our country.
The absence of additional water al
ready is 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
Congressional committees.
The House Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee, of which | am
a member, has been holding hearings
on two major western reclamation
projects requested by President Eli
senhower-Upper Colorado and Fry
ingpan-Arkansas.
A good part of the testimony on
the Upper Colorado project was de-
voted to dispute between upper
and lower Colorado basin states
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah versus
Arizona and California-over inter-
probation of the Colorado River Com
pact. AS a sidelight, Arizona and
California disagreed over the amount
of the water each contended the
lower basin should get.
While we were discussing distribu-
ton of the vital fresh water of the
West, we also held a ittle-noticed
hearing on proposal that may prove
to be the answer to the problem. This
is the research program on convert
inc, 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 Depart
ment to conduct research. He also
has made Federal grants to finance
work by colleges and other agencies.
And he has co-ordinated federal re-
search with that of private organi-
cations, whose work in this field has
been stimulated by the federal pro-
gram. Today, research work is being
carried on by scientific organizations
in New England, New York, Florida,

PERMANENT STUDY ON CONVERSION OF Saline
WATER FOR USEFUL PURPOSES NEEDED
By CONG. LEE METCALF

Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, Washington
and California.
Although substantial progress has
been made, the program will come
to a sudden halt without COMPRESSION
al action. The five-year period has
two years to run, but the Bureau of
the Budget has ruled that all re-
ports 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 permanent one and
increase the authorization to Sc mil
lion.
Three years age, when this pro
gram started, it cost about $1,000
per acre-foot to convert saline to
fresh water, using then-known pro-
cesses in small-scale plants. 1t was
estimated that large-scale plants, US
! ing those same processes, could cut
the cost to around $500 per acre-foot.
That cost has now been reduced
to 1925. If the proposed legislation
is passed, it is planned to build a
pilot plant that undoubtedly will re-
duce the cost to 500 per acre-foot.
AS a base, researchers calculated
at 800 to $125 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 glad
w pay 500 for domestic water. Dur
ing the hearings, it was brought out
that Colorado Springs recently Of
fered to pay $3.50 an acre-foot for
water.
One researcher outlined the aim
Of the program this way
''You see how tremendously I'M
portant the problem is when you
think of a 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 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

both factions appeared wearing six
guns. The tension repeatedly was
white hot as the council voted unani-
mously to revoke the power com
pany's franchise and obtain cheaper
source of electricity.
Acting City Attorney Robert Port
er explained the situation. He said
that the power company's facilities
are inadequate and antiquated,"
and that President Fesser charges
lower rates to some customers and
higher rates to others.

Porter.
The city is willing to pay $4,000
for the power company facilities, but
Fesser says that he will hold out for
100000. He also intends to fight
the condemnation action and claims
to have large group on his side.

POWER COMPANY ELECTRIC Rates
CREATE GljN-T0TING" frontier

LAKE CITY, (NRECA) -
Excessive power company electric
rates have turned this little town
into lawless, gun-toting burg remi-
niscent of the frontier during the
188O's-but no one has been shot,
as vet, and Boot Hill remains rela-
lively dead.
The Lake City Power and Light
Co. has been charging it's consumers
a SO monthly minimum for electricity,
plus whopping 15c-not mills-per
kilowatt hour. A reported majority
of the 245 citizens of the city urged
the CITY council to condemn the pow
er company property and seek loan
from REA to construct new modern
facilities that produce more power
cheaply but they were opposed by
friends of the power company presi-
dent. George Fesser.
The plea of the citizenry split the
council, which ultimately resulted in
the resignation of three council mem
bers including Mayor Frank Menden-
hall. In their places, three members
who favor less costly electricity were
appointed, and one of the new coun-
cilmen, George Edwards, was named
Mayor protein.
Meantime, Town Marshall Glenn
Hunt, who sides with the power COM
pany, deputized group of citizens
also in favor of the power company.
However, word got through to Mayor
Edwards and the city council and
they countered, issuing themselves

NEUBERGER LICENCES IKE ON
Federal POWER PROJECTS

nobody else can and there is very
great difference; because the second
that the federal government starts
to print money to do these things,
they are taking one cent or at least
their proportion out of every dollar
that any of you might happen to have
in your pockets. Now that has the
effect Of cheapening money and |
don't think we ought to do that"
Commenting on the Presidents
statement, Neuberger charged, 1T
would be difficult to state more
fundamental misunderstanding of the
financial position of our great fed
eral hydro-electric projects"
If the President meant to imply
that federal power projects have an
inflationary affect on American cur
rency, Neuberger said, he obviously
fails to distinguish between non-pro-
ductive expenditures and expendi-
lures for productive assets which help
to expand the economy
Governments throughout the world
receive encouragement and financial
assistance from the United States,
said Neuberger, to lay the foundations
for their own economic expansion
by Initiating the great American
multi-purpose river projects which,
here at home, the President now con-
siders financially unsound."
Neuberger pointed to the 1854 re-
port of the Bonneville Power Admin
istration which shows that the Co
lumbia River power system between
1889 and June 80, 1854, returned
$349, 746,787 to the federal treasury.
The system, he said, now is nearly
sos million ahead of the schedule
payment rate.
