INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION
EVEN GREATER THREAT

Industrial pollution in all likeli-
hood may be even greater than pollu-
ton by sewage. Great portions of
Pennsylvania, lower New York, Mary
land and Delaware, Ohio, Illinois,
and other industrialized states today
are polluted by acids, alkalis, oils,
greases, salts of copper, zinc, cyanides
and even radioactive materials. In
coastal cities salt waiter seeps in as
fresh water is pumped out.
Fortunately, after yeays of
shameful neglect and inadequate
steps, the United States has taken
major step in meeting the prob
lem of providing good fresh water
to all our people. Despite the usual
cries of States rights" and federal
Intervention, Congress has just en-
acted water pollution control bill
that may serve to check the worst
pollution abuses.
Under the leadership of Repre-
John A. Blatnik, Demo orat,
IF Minnesota, who long has been in
2erested in national resources, Con-
yress has amended its 1856 Water
Pollution Act, greatly strengthening
