Reduced Rates
Planned On Some
Telephone Calls
Reduced long distance telephone
rates for most station-to-station
calls between 9 p.m. and 4:30 a.m.
in Texas will be introduced by
Southwestern State Telephone on
June 15, D. 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.

years are scheduled to determine
the final fate of the process. 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.

Wilson has been a staffman and
editor on several Texas newspapers
and has edited a number of maga
zines and other publications in the
agriculture and petroleum fields.
