The French government has disclosed it is studying plans and costs of a canal joining the Rhone and Rhine Rivers.
The long talked-about project to build a water link between northern and southern Europe has been revived.
Europe Studies Waterway To Travel Across Continent
Such a canal would provide a 1,300-mile-long inland waterway traversing the western continent from the North Sea, near Hamburg, to the Mediterranean near Marseilles.
The canal would join the Rhine and Rhone in Switzerland, where both rivers start. The Rhine flows northward between France, Germany and through the Netherlands.

Construction of such a ink, an international undertaking, has modern precedent in the recent agreement among France, Italy and Switzerland to build the longest vehicular tunnel in the world through the base of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak.
"Our aim is to link together the Franco-Swiss Leman Lake—through which the Rhone River flows—to such Swiss lakes as Neuchatel, Bienne, the small Aare River and finally the Rhine River near Basle in Switzerland," a spokesman of the French government-owned Compagnie nationale du Rhone said.
He said the undertaking would be between 90 and 120 miles long, linking the 700-mile-long Rhine River with the 500-mile-long Rhone.
"Such a canal would be the outstanding achievement of the century," he said, "it would allow a
Architect Talks To Local Group
The battle of getting the public to accept contemporary architecture is not completely won, especially in this area, David Runnell, Kansas City architect, told the local chapter of the American Institute of Architecture.
In large cities difficulties are encountered in antiquated building codes and zoning rights, Mr. Runnels said. Contemporary architecture also requires more supervision in construction, he added.
Clients question new designs, Mr. Runnels said, and must be convinced of the worth of the architect. "The architect sells his service, not just the plan," Mr. Runnels said.

The spokesman recalled that the Rhine River flows through such highly industrialized areas as German - Switzerland; Lorraine, in France; the Ruhr in Germany and the Rhine delta, in the Netherlands.
"One must not disregard the fact that the Rhine is connected with such important rivers as the Moselle in France and Germany," he said.
north-south traffic for the first time throughout the continent."
The spokesman also explained that the French Rhone River is about to become completely navigable to larger craft since its turbulent waters will be diverted next year into a cement-lined canal, between Donzere and Montdragon, which will be 75 feet wider than the Suez.
"Part of the Rhone River has already been harnessed for power and navigation with such mighty dams as that of Genissiat, which backs an artificial lake of 53,000,000 cubic meters," he said, explaining that the Marshall counterpart funds contributed to 2,359,000,000 francs ($65,711,000) to the project.
Finally, the spokesman recalled the Rhone River flows through Lyon—a world-known center of silk production—and the great Mediterranean harbor of Marseilles.

The industrial psychologist strives to bring about maximum efficiency together with optimum satisfaction in employee situations, K. Wade Bennett, vice-president of personnel at Macy's in Kansas City, told the Psychology club last night.
Maximum Efficiency Sought Industrial Psychologist Says
Mr. Bennett, who received his training at Northwestern university, was one of the first four industrial psychologists to enter the field in 1936.
"The basic objectives of psychology in business are to assist the human being to get along with other individuals, materials and machines," Mr. Bennett said.
Personnel administrators accomplish these objectives by seeing that the right man is used for the right job, equal pay is given for equal work, and opportunities for self-advancement, security and self-expression are offered. Mr. Bennett said.
Although the field is full of
"sharpires and pseudo-psychologists," industrial psychology has brought about effective utilization of the above techniques, he added.
"Put tests have been more misused in personnel classification than anything else in the last ten years." Mr. Bennett said. They must be supplemented with controlled interviews and evaluation of the applicant's background, he added.

Mr. Bennett also called attention to the danger of industrial psychologists becoming so expert in techniques that they overlook the objective of their work—helping each individual realize his potentialities.
