When you sat in his office did
you see all the law books there?
Well. what he told you, you

You're right" admitted the

WASHINGTON, D. C.-There's q
difference between the depression of
the 1905 and the current recession
in the matter of who bears the bur.
den, Labor Sec. Arthur j. Goldberg
told the House Ways & Means Com
mittee.
Thirty years ago, he said, every
body suffered alike the workers
who lost their jobs, the small bust
nessmen who lost their stores and
giant industries which lost a market
for their goods.
Today, he said, only the workers
and small business are suffering,
while big industries have become sal
most recession pro off," Goldberg
pointed out that steel firms still make
very substantial profits with pro-
duction at only so per cent of capac-
ity, and that General Motors and
Ford pay good dividends although
retail automobile sales are off sharp
Iy.

for the Presidents original position
as there are co-religionists fighting
against it.
While all these things are duly
noted, they would appreciate some
recognition of the fact that the issue
cuts just as deeply on the emotional
side for Protestants and others as it
does for Catholics.
No one suggests that for the Presi-
dent this is going to be an easy issue
to settle. The work required is monu-
mental. He will have to- convince
some of his own staff. He will have
to get on the phone with members
of the House. He may have to go on
a nationwide telecast TO enlist popu-
lar support.
1t seems evident that his reputation
for leadership will hinge as much on
what he does about schools as any
issue that is likely to come during
the rest of his Administration.

Advice From Canada

President Eric Kierans of the Mon
treal Stock Exchange says that over
administration and over-management
by industry are far more responsible
for the high cost of Canadian goods
than are decent wages. Kierans told
the Chamber of Commerce of Winni-
peg, Saskatchewan: "There is a re-
curing tendency TO blame the cost
of labor for our inability to compete
successfully in world markets. In
point of fact, great deal of this
criticism is unfounded and industrial
leaders, who frequently reiterate this
charge, would do well to check their
statistics -. Expanding manage
ment and administrative functions
/. . would seem to be more responsible
for higher costs than wage increases"

little with the salt content.
On the other hand, since electro
dialysis works by pushing the salt
out of the water, both energy and
equipment costs are roughly proper
tional to the amount of salt. Thus it
seems potentially the best process
for freshening brackish, or only.
slightly salty water.

Progress Being Made In
Fresheninq Bad Water
By ROSCOE and WILLIAM
N. FLEMING, Denver

N. FLEMING, Denver
Our hero, turned waterless
into the desert by the Bad
Guys, sees a shimmering, invit-
ing pool in the distance. He
reaches it and throws himself
down to drink. But one taste
tells him it is "bad" water, and
he staggers on, his thirst still
raging like a fever.
Unfortunately, this isn't just a
Western fiction writer's gimmick. 1t
is based on fact. Men have died be-
cause they drank s'bad" water. And
there are plenty of water holes in
the Western u. S. and Great Plains
where the water is too brackish-
has too high a content of dissolved
mineral salts-for sustained use by
plants, animals, or people.
Yet this very region of low rain
fall is the one which will run out Of
water first-it already has in spots.
The region won't die, but it will stop
growing and prospecting without new
sources of water.
So residents throughout much of
the West and Great Plains will well
come the news that electro-dialysis,
relatively new technique for water
publication, holds promise of making
brackish water disable at reasonable
cost. AS the name implies, the device
uses electrical power to push the
salts out of the water as it flows
through stacks of specially prepared
plastic membranes.
Dalpra farm just north of Denver,
an electro-dialysis plant is
freshening $4,000 gallons of brack-
ish water day at cost of $1.50 for |
each thousand gallons. The plant was |
designed and built by the u. S. Blu
reau of Reclamation under the spon-
sorship of the Office of Saline Water
Research at Washington, D. c.
LOOK TO soc PER m
GALLONS
This is an experimental set up,
with most of the equipment custom
made. But the experts in charge feel
that with further development, the
cost can be brought down to around
4 third of this, or about SO cents
4 thousand gallons. This would in
dude both plant amortization and
operating expense.
You might still think this high if
rou live in some big cities where a
'amily of four will use 1000 gallons
day and pay as little as 10 cents
or it. But your reaction would be
different if you were a resident of
me South Dakota town that for
ears has had to have water trucked
n at $3.50 a thousand.
Or if you were Gilbert O. Dalpra,
Who had to move his farmstead when
J. S. Highway 81 north of Denver
vas widened, and whose well at the I
lew location brought in water with |
salt content four times greater ]
han that from the old well. |
The u. S. Public Health Service
avs you shouldn't really drink water
nth much more than 500 parts by
yeight of salts out of million parts
f water. Dalpra's original well was {
bout $50 ppm (parts per million) +,
OF enough above the standard to t
rorry about. But his new well tested '
t 3,100 ppm, much too brackish for S
ustained use. Il

10 SOlIeuoO lot washing, ana IeIC a
heavy crust on cooking utensils, but
Dalpra's so dairy cows definitely
weren't doing as well on it. Yet the
only other water available was from
tank truck at a prohibitive So to
Sd thousand gallons.
So Dalpra was using the water
temporarily while making plans to
hook into local commercial supply.
This would have cost him an average
of 40 cents thousand for his esti-
mated need of 100000 month for
house and herd. Then the Bureau of
Reclamation came looking for a site
where it might field test the equip
ment developed at it's big laboratories
near the foothills west of Denver.
Now, in return for his cooperation
and pending completion of the expert
ment, Dalpra is getting good water
free, freshened by electro-dialysis to
Public Health's recommended 500
ppm. And after seeing one operate,
Dalpra says he would prefer to have
water from his own electro-dialysis
unit at 80 cents over the commercial
water at 40 cents, if farm-size con-
version unit were available. Fifty
cents thousand gallons figures out
to about $163 an acre foot. so you
couldn't afford it for irrigation. But
for home and dairy herd, like
Dalpra's, it isn't too much. 1t GER
tainly offers the prospect of better
living for farm families and towns
in many areas.
SMALL UNITS STILL
in THE FUTURE s
Unfortunately, no such farm-size
anti is yet commercially available.
This must wait completion of expert
nents, and development of markets
and production industry to
urn out water purifying plants
'ailored to the size of the supply and
leed-from individual farms and
'anches through farmers co-ops and
water districts, up to units for good
ized towns. Other problems will
lave to be solved, such as disposing
# the waste water in which the salts
ave been concentrated.
But even on the basis of custom
made costs, one town-Coalings Cal
fornia- found it could save money
" building it's own electro dialysis
liant rather than haul water As miles
" rail tank car. /.
The Bureau of Reclamation's Dali
ra farm experiment is itself pilot
or larger plant going up at Web
ter, South Dakota, to have a capacity ]
f 100000 gallons per day-also
mall town size. This plant, scheduled t
o start working in. 1862, will treat |
Nater with 1880 ppm of salts, typical t
f many potential water supplies. t
The Webster plant in turn is but
ne of five large-scale experimental q
lants scheduled by the Office of I
aline Water to explore the many
ifferent ways of retaining both sea
nd brackish water. Three of the =
lants are for sea water, which has g
pwards of ten times as much salts
35, 1000 ppnn) as most brackish water.
he other brackisn water plant is at L
oswell, New Mexico.
Sea water conversion techniques
are based on lifting the 0
alter out of the salt, as in distilla- e
on by boiling. Since even the saltiest t
alter is mostly water and very little S
ut, the amount OF energy used in f
lstillation (and thus the cost varies S
