Budget Includes Funds For Water
Washington, Jan. 10—(U.P.)—President Trump's budget asked congress to appropriate $500,000 for research in making salt water into fresh water in large quantities on an economical base.
He said that it is apparent that water shortages in some areas cannot be solved by the government's present water-resources programs.
President Truman warned that, in spite of newly-learned techniques for conserving and using water, "It may not be possible" to meet all impending shortages. He said they are threatening in some areas.
"I recommend, therefore," he said, "that the Congress enact legislation authorizing the initiation of research to find means for bringing salt water into fresh water in large volume at economical costs."
While he did not refer directly to New York's water shortage, observer though had influenced the recommendation on water shortages in some West Coast areas.
President Truman's suggestion was preceded by a bill in congress by Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, (D.,Wyo.) for a 50 million dollar appropriation for research in salt water conversion and other ways of overcoming shortages.
Graduate Student Presents Recital
By FAYE WILKINSON
Joan Vickers, soprano, presented her graduate recital Sunday before an appreciative audience in Strong auditorium.
The solost's voice has a thin, delicate quality and, although it does not have volume, it is well-trained. Few tones were pinched and the breath control was good.
Exceptionally good enunciation characterized the performance. Particularly appealing in the group of German songs were Joseph Marx's "Sankta Maria" and Hugo Wolf's "Mausfallen-Spruchlein." The captivating French songs were represented by "Si Tu Le Veux" (Koechlin), "Bleuet" (Poulenc), "Clair de Lune" (Faure), and "Chanson Norvegienne" (Foulrain).
Miss Katherine Mulky, instructor in music theory, shared applause with Miss Vickers for the former's composition, "Prairie Song." It is a descriptive piece telling of the loneliness of the prairie. Miss Mulky also served as accompanist for Miss Mulky.

Math Colloquium Hears Schatten
Robert Schatten, associate professor of mathematics, discussed the theory of integral equations at the mathematical colloquium in Strong hall Monday afternoon. Approximately 50 persons heard the lecture.
The key to the solution of this theory, which is also useful in physics, was presented by a Scandinavian mathematician, Fredholm, in 1963. Professor Schatten presented a different idea for the problem and he told of the results of Mr. Fredholm's outstanding discovery.
The last meeting of the colloquium this semester will be held Monday, Jan. 16, Daniel Ling, assistant professor of physics, will speak on "Quantum Mechanics and Linear Victorspaces."
Japanese Will Test Officials
Tokyo, —(U.P.)— Sunday is examination day in Japan and it is not the school children who are worried. The government officials are the ones who must pass eligibility tests and they're nervous.
The Japanese didn't think this thing up by themselves. It was set up in occupation headquarters. The Japanese politicians are particularly set against it. They think it creates a bad precedent.
The examinations will be given by the national personnel authority, which is worried too. It wants to keep the questions from leaking out in advance. That is quite a job in view of what some people are willing to do to make a passing grade on the quiz.
Since the test was thought up by occupation officials, only the Japanese officials have to take it.
The people with penil and paper on "T" day ("T" for test) will be all senior government officials from vice-ministers down to bureau, department, and section chiefs.
Some sections of the Japanese press have endorsed this examination with high glee. Said one editorial writer: "It cannot be denied that the government personnel administration in the past has too often been influenced by graft and bribery."
Other papers are strongly against such a thing as testing the officials.
"It is not only undemocratic but is unfair since experience in office often is more valuable than superficial knowledge," said one paper.
Most papers, both those pro and con want to know who in the government qualified to ask questions of the other members of the government.
Some even have suggested that Japan soon will be a country where the "information please" champions will hold all top offices.
A demand already has arisen for the national radio network to broadcast the examinations to the whole country.

Mr. Truman believes the present figure could be tripled in the next 50 years.
Washington — (U.P) - Average American family income has been rising steadily in the United States.
It is understood statistics on which President Truman based his estimate of a possible $12,000 family income by 2000 A.D. were federal figures supplied by the commerce and labor departments.
They are said to have shown that the average for 1935-36 was $2,600; for 1941, $3,400; for the present, $4,200.
The dollars are in terms of 1948 purchasing power but it was explained that would vary little from purchasing power today.
