UN Proceeds Without Russia
Lake Success, N.Y., Jan. 17—(U.P.)
—The United Nations, Security Council meets without Russia today to consider a French proposal for a census of the world's arms, excluding the atomic bomb.
Pre-meeting indications were that the council would carefully avoid any "substantive" questions which Russia might have been able to block with her veto, had she been present.

Russia walked out of the council Friday protesting the continued presence of the Chinese Nationalist delegation.
There was much speculation that the time was ripe, with Russia absent, to reintroduce the question of admitting nine Western-backed applicants for U.N. membership whom Russia has veered. But a poll of the 10 nations did not up or today's meeting showed no indication that the membership question or any other matter "of substance" which Russia could veto, if she were present.
The Council has three items before it:
1. The Assembly's approval of the arms census plan, scheduled to be transmitted, without comment, to conventional armaments commission,
2. A proposal by India for the codification and unification of the rules of procedure for the various U.N. organs.
3. A proposal by Yugoslavia's Dr. Ales Bebler that Chinese chief delegate Tingfu F. Tsang relinquish the presidency of the Security Council to Dr. Carlos Blanco of Cuba, next in alphabetical rotation, for the entirety of his January term. Tsang gave up the chair to Blanco last Thursday and Friday while the Council debated Russian delegate Jacob Malik's motion.

Navy Solves Water Shortage By Manufacturing Its Own
Guantanamo, Cuba, Jan. 17—(U.P.)The City of New York and other American communities with a water shortage can learn a few things from the United States navy.
The Roosevelt system has four
units with cap of producing 50-
000 gallon water.
When the Roosevelt leaves a port it carries 206,000 gallons piped in from land sources—but that lasts only one day or so, and the ships fresh water system goes into action.
The navy's ships, particularly the big combat vessels, have the water problem at all times—but something is done about it, and American ships are so pure that it could be injected into your veins with no harm done.
On all the big ships, such as the carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt of the Atlantic Fleet which anchored off this island for two days on a West Indies cruise, the most modern fresh water "factory" can be found. The type on the Roosevelt produces up to 160,000—even 200,000—gallons of fresh water each day from salt sea water, sucked up from the ocean.
First, the navy has brand new equipment that converts salt water into fresh. It's too expensive for the communities to adopt now—but the technique some day may be practical.
Second, the navy-known for its cleanliness—knows how to conserve water.
water daily. The ocean water is sucked into the ship through six-inch pipes that protrude from the bottom of the vessel. It goes into each unit at the rate of 600 gallons a minute. And each unit produces about 40 gallons of fresh water a minute.
The cost, according to Commander Raymond Payne, South Bend, Ind., engineering officer of the Roosevelt, is about one cent for 10 gallons. That may sound high for the ordinary water user—but it's the cheapest by far in the cost of making fresh water from salt water. The research in the navy may someday lead even to cheaper costs.
Payne and his division engineer, Lieutenant Yorick N. Fontenot, are experts on this matter of making fresh water, and they also depend a lot on Chief Petty Officer John L. Smithers, of Bowling Green, Va., who is directly assigned to the water converter system.
The whole process does not require three minutes. The water, the purest you ever drank, is used both for the boilers and for drinking, cooking and all other purposes aboard this big ship.
