T. Strickland, vice president and general manager of the Company announced. The new rates for a thi-ee-minute call will be scaled on a mileage basis beginning with station calls to points of a distance of 83 miles or greater. Reductions of up to 50 cents on the longest calls within Texas will result from the new schedule, Strickland pointed out. Along with this reduction there will be a slight increase in most person-to-person calls -within the state. This will arnounf to five cents on the basic person-to-person rates on most day and evening calls, the telephone official added. Most other telephone companies in Texas will introduce similar rate changes the same date, Strick land said. A T RESEARCH ANNEX Salt-Water Altering Process Now Is In Pilot Plant Stage A&M scientists within the next few days will run a quantity of salty water into a pilot plant to start a new phase in their search for an answer to a pressing prob lem—an abundant but relatively cheap source of good water. The A&M scientists have devel oped a process new in its use of a chemical solvent to chang v e saline water into water fit for human consumption. The process still must be proven in the pilot plant stage. The researchers also stress their process is designed for waters of only a certain range of salinity. Water about one-seventh as salty as seawater is most suited for the new process. THE PROCESS has important advantages in that it requires only a narrow range of temperatures.

Until then, answers to questions must be cautious for thus far the process has been proven only in the lab oratory research phase. The final answers can hold tre mendous importance for people not only in Texas or the United States but around the globe. Texas city officials, industrial executives and farmers and ranch ers searching for greater sources of usable water know all too well how often saline instead of good water is found. A&M researchers have been at work on saline water conversion for about a decade. Dr. Donald W. Hood, a chemical oceanographer and member of the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology, has played a key role in the re search. Assistant Professor Rich ard R. Davison, who divides his time between the chemical engi neering and oceanography and meteorology departments, is an other A&M researcher with an im portant role in the research. SALINE WATER conversion re search at A&M has the financial support of the U. S. Department of Interior’s Office of Saline Wa ter. This financial support includes the approximately $130,000 cost of the pilot plant. The pilot plant units recently were trucked from Houston to a site at the A&M Research and De velopment Annex, formerly the Bryan Air Force Base. Brown and Root of Houston built the plant and their technicians are readying the plant for operation. The pilot plant resembles a miniature oil refinery or petro chemical plant for it is a maze of pipes, columns and controls. It came here on four truck-trailer rigs and the tallest column extends 40 feet into the air. HOOD COMPARES the role of the solvent in the process to that of a pack horse. In phase one, the solvent picks up a “load of water” and leaves behind a brine concen tration. In phase two, the solvent and its “load” are separated. Re usable solvent is ready to pick up another “load,” while usable water flows through another pipe. THE BATTALION Thursday, June (1, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 3 Information Office Names New Man WILLIAM B.
