Act of 1855 for everyone enter
ing military service either by in
duction or enlistment. Another
advantage this plan has, especial
ly for people with ROTC expert
ence, is promotion from date of
enlistment. For instance, if a
person has either Junior or Sen
ior ROTC he can enter the Army
up to the grade of Corporal. Typi-
cal case this week was young
man from Bethesda soon to be
indicted. When he found out
that ne could enlist in grade of
PFC, which by the way, is $21
dollars more a month than he
would receive if drafted, he said
that any eligible registrant
would be downright foolish to let
this opportunity go by

developing and testing certain types
Of equipment: some is done in
Government labs. but most is by
contract and research grant. The
department is directly involved in
about 20 such projects and has
roughly dozen others awaiting
sufficient funds. It also endeavors
to keep track Of all other research
projects in the field.
Seawater, or regular ocean water,
contains about $4,000 parts per
million Of dissolved salts. Water
less salty but with more than 1000
parts Of salt per million is "brack-
ish."
The Chesapeake Bay, for ex-
ample. with about $4,000 parts per
million is brackish water. But when
conversion engineers speak Of
"brackish water experiments" they
usually refer to q somewhat lower
salt-content water such as Is found
underground and in streams and
run-offs In the northern Great
Plains. In Texas and the South
west.
The Public Health Service says
that drinking water should have
less than 1000 salt particles per
million, preferably no more than
500. For irrigation purposes water
should contain not more than 1900
salt parts per million. Industrial
uses vary. In some cases, where
water Is used purely for cooling,
ordinary sea water will serve. In
other cases, where corrosion is a
big factor, the water must be so
pure as to contain only two or
three salt parts per million.
The Methods Used
Scientists today are converting
salt water to fresh by:
. Distillation--This -honored
method Of evaporation and con-
densation still offers the highest
hope. The big difficulty here has
been. and is. to lick the problem
Of scale deposits on the machinery.

Pope Plus has on several occa-
sions expressed his hope that nu-
clear weapons and tests Of nuclear
weapons will be outlawed. Last
April. he gave q virtually unprece-
denied Sunday private audience to
DR.. Masatoshi Matsushita, d per-
sonal representative of Japan's
Prime Minister, who came to Rome
from Britain. where he appealed to
British leaders to call of their COM
ing hydrogen bomb tests at Christ
mas Island. The British had previ-
ously received him courteously but
rejected his appeal. The Pontiff,
who had last Christmas called for
remuneration Of atomic experiments,
again asked for an end to nuclear
weapons in his Easter 1857 mes
sage.
An indication that the issue of
atomic testing will play an even
greater part In the next British
general election than II did in
the United States presidential elec-
ton comes with the recent an
nouncement by Foreign Secretary
selwyn Lloyd that Britain has not

without permitting it to become
a shield for the INSCRIPTIONS.
Congress Tries Again
In 1854 Congress came up with
another immunity act. It set up
machinery whereby witnesses may
be granted immunity from prose-
cution and compelled to testify
before grand juries and congress
sional committees on matters per-
tanning to national security and
defense.
Under this law an application
for immunity for q witness must
be made by congressional COM
mittee, a district attorney or the
Attorney General to a Federal
court Judge.
In 1856 the Supreme Court
handed down a decision in a test
case, that of William Ludwig Ull-
mann, World War II intelligence
officer who had declined to testify
in a Communist conspiracy case
before a grand jury. He claimed
the protection Of the Fifth.
Mr.. Ullmann was convicted Of
contempt Of court under the 1854
law and appealed. His conviction
was upheld in 1856 by the high
court which said:
Immunity replaces the danger
(of self -incrimination) Once the
reason for the privilege (of claim
ing the Fifth ceases, the privilege
ceases"
In other words, a witness can
be compelled to trade immunity
for testimony in specific instances
involving national security and
defense.
The Supreme Court said in the
Ullmann opinion that it was con-
sidering only the question of testi-
flying before a grand jury. 1t left
open the matter of compelling a
witness to testify before q congress
Sional committee.
Now the congressional section Of
the Immunity Act Of 1854 is headed
for a test. On April 10 at the re-
quest Of Senate Internal Security
subcommittee, Federal District
Judge David A. Pine Of Washing
ton signed orders compelling four
witnesses to testify before the COM
mitee in return for immunity. The
order has been appealed.
The present law Is restricted to
national security and defense mat
tiers. There is now pending in Con-
gress much broader bill which
would give immunity matters per-
tanning to general public welfare.
Congress hopes that the end re-
suit will be the continued protec-
ton Of the law-abiding citizen while
removing the shield from the guilty.

only rejected suggestions to post
pone hydrogen bomb tests, but has
also declared that most Of the oppo-
sition Of the tests come from Com
munists who wanted to prevent
development Of Britain's nuclear
strength. This was interpreted as
a rebuke to the Labor Party, whose
Spokesman have declared in favor
OF ending tests. Selwyn Lloyd went
on to say that objections to tests
have come largely from nonsci-
entif1c sources"
The Russian government, while
continuing to test atomic weapons,
has identified itself with the oppo-
nents Of tests and has declared
itself willing to accept the complete
abolition Of tests. This position has
given 1t considerable propaganda
advantage among small nations.
II has also enabled 1t TO continue
to exploit Its propaganda theme
which links the United States with
the use Of the atom bomb against
Asians and with reliance upon the
hydrogen bomb as q weapon Of
massive retaliation"

COSTS GO DOWN
BY PHIL YEAGER

Secretary Of the Interior Fred
A. Seaton recently sent a letter
to the President and Congress.
"If intermediate research and
pilot plant work now started is
successful" he said. lit appears
reasonably certain that costs of
large-scale distillation Of saline
water will be reduced to SO cents
or less per 1000 gallons in the
near future"
In other words, while the salt
into-fresh-water millennium isn't
here yet, there is positive evidence
Of its approach. = $40
Mr.. Seaton's letter, part Of a
report on the Governments 10
year saline water conversion
program" suggests q that one Of
mankind's Oldest dreams-the eco
nomical Transformation of sea-
water into fresh water-is, his
torically speaking. Just around the
corner.
This doesn't mean that the wide
scale de-salting Of ocean water
will be an accomplished fact next
year or even five years hence. It
does mean that real progress has
been made.
For example. in 1852. when the
water conversion program began.
the lowest cost attainable in de-
sailing water was about 81 per
1000 gallons. Now 1t appears that
new methods known today would
make it possible to de-salt brackish
water at something like AZ cents
per 1000 gallons; and. as Mr..
Seaton discloses. de-salting sea-
water may hit a cost Of so cents
or less before very long.
BY way of comparison, private
water users in the Washington area
now pay about % cents per 1000
gallons for their fresh water. But
in many parts Of the country water
costs are considerably higher.
Interior Department officials be-
heve that de-salting system which
succeeds In making large quantities
Of converted fresh water at q cost
OF 35 cents per 1000 gallons would
be satisfactory for many purposes.
Voter voIue to Rise
There has been some talk to,
the effect that the cost of de-
sailing would have to drop to IL
cents per 1000 gallons to provide
the kind of agriculture and irri-
cation programs demanded Of
America In the future. While this
efficiency might come some day,
engineers believe that a shift in
basic concepts Of water-value is
likely to occur first.
