ties is rising at an equal or even
faster rate none of the forecast-
ers in fact anticipated that
!Midwest City's population would
pass Norman's in 1960 Regardless
of whose predictions you accept
there is no doubt that the three
cities will be using a lot of water
by the year 2010
How much?
The Bureau of Reclamation es-
timates a total population of
113200 using 2533 million gallons
a day Guernsey figures a total
population of 136650 and a de'
mand for 2847 million gallons of
water a day Peach and Reid
hile predicting a population in-
crease of 134 per cent say the
per-capita use of water will in-
crease 123 per cent and total water
consumption by a IA hopping 500
per cent
Individual Use Rises
In other words they say land
the Bureau and Guernsey agree
with them each of us is using a
lot more water each day than
our parents or grandparents did
and our children and grandehil-
dren will use more per day than
we do
Grandpa used vi ater for wash-
ing purposes drinking and for
making coffee That was about all
We bathe three or four times as
often as Grandpa did put water
on our lawns run it through our
automatic clothes and dishwash-
ers swim in it wash our cars
with it and drink more coffee
Increasing use of water by in-
dustry raises the per-capita con-
sumption also and the more
plentiful the water supply the
more industry is attracted to use
it
'Many Tap Acquirer
At present the three cities —
along with Aloore the University
Central State hospital Tinker
Air Force Base and private users
— obtain their water from the only
source available: deep wells that
tap the Garber-Wellington sand-1'
stones This formation extends
no to 40 miles across eastern
CleveLrnd County and western
Pottawatomie County and north
into Oklahoma County
As long as the acquirer — the
water-bearing sands — is not
Pumped too hard it supplies
good pure soft water (although
its not as soft now as it used
to be) But on numerous occasions
in the past prolonged heavy
pumping has lowered the water
table dangerously Some wells
have gone dry
Indications are that the water
level has dropped steadily Even
the roost optimistic researcher
prslicts this supply with in-
creased pumping to meet new re-
quirements will be exhausted by
1080 or 1900 Others fear the end
may come much sooner
(Next What Is happening to
our present grounduater supply?)

There were conflicting reports1
on the e of the Americans One
soul of them was
wounded
lie said they Yik e not wearing
U S uniforms
The government radio which
often paints a darker picture than
warranted in hopes of receiving
maximum military aid from out-
side called the situation north of
Vientiane "a Laotian Dien Bien
Phu" That referred to the de-
cisive battle in the Indochina war
that marked the beginning of the
end for the French there
U S helicopters shuttled troops
in battalion strength to yang Khy
a small town on the north-south
road In the uncertain military
situation this was encouraging
Vang Khy lies 10 miles north of
the spot at which government
troops had been expected to halt
their retreat
Troops Bolt
Government troops bolted be
fore the rebel attack and at least
10 were reported killed It was
uncertain how far south the royal
Lao troops withdrew and whether
they were beaten from yang
Vieng or simply abandoned the
town
Reliable sources said the three
unnamed American advisers have
been missing since the thrust
began Uniformed US advisers
moved to front-line positions
among royal Laotian soldiers last
week hoping to bolster the sag-
ging government forces
Another American military man
is believed held by the pro-Communist
rebels lie is an Army
major who bailed out when a US
military observation plane was
shot down in March
With a cease-fire due within
two days the leftist Pathet Lao
forces now hold about one third
of Laos and control its narrow
waist They dominate the north
south highway linking Vientiane
with Luang Prabang
Red Position Good
As the military position of the
pro-Communist Pathet Lao rebels
got better and better Prince
Souvanna Phouma the neutralist
Laotian leader recognized by the
Cornmunists as the legal premier
said in Peiping that his people
count on the Communist and
neutral nations to help restore
peace in Laos
Souvanna brought along to Pei-
ping his half brother Prince Sou-
phanouvong who leads the Pathet
Lao Souphanouvong issued a
statement accusing the United
States of "paying lip service to
peace"
Chinese Premier Chou En-lai
joined in criticizing the United
States for creating a military
advisory group in Laos Souvanna
in turn backed Peiping's claim to
the Nationalist Chinese island of
Formosa and to a seat in the
United Nations

In Nazi Trial
(Continued from Page 11
Servatius lawyer for Eiehmann
and Atty Gen Gideon Ilausner
to come into court prepared to
plead the issue
Earlier in the day a witness
testified that Nazi Germany
wiped out "overnight" the fruits
of a 200-year struggle by Euro-
pean Jews to improve their social
and political position
Eichmann listening intently be
gan scribbling rapidly on a pad
of paper in the prisoner's dock
Ile was one of the early members
of the Nazi party joining it in
1931 when it was still outlawed
in Austria
Historian Called
The witness was Dr Salo Witt-
mayer Baron professor of Jewish
history at Columbia University in
New York City
"The Nazi movement showed
that even in a highly developed
country it was possible to turn
back the clock The steady devel-
opment from 200 years of struggle
by the Jews was set back over-
night" Baron said
The period between the two
world wars he said marked the
"high point of Jewish emancipa-
tion in Europe"
The prosecution put Dr Baron
on the stand to delineate the so-
cial and political position of the
Jews in Europe at the moment
when the Nazi3 came to power
1 and to show the extent of the
damage wreaked between 1933
when Adolf Hitler came to power
and 1945 when he committed sui-
cide amid the ruins of the Third
Reich
Officer Questioned
Prior to his appearance on the
witness stand Eichmann's attor-
ney Dr Robert Servatius sharp
ly questioned Capt Avner Less
i of the Israeli police who inter-
rogated Eichmann over a period
of eight months
Less repeated that Eichmann's
dictated statements — amounting
to more than half a million words
and now part of the court record
—ere given freely and not "un-
der duress"
Servatius led Less through a
series of questions about the cir-
cumstances of the tape-recorded
testimony by Eichmann part of
vhich 'as played last week lie
asked uhether "undue influence"
had been used on Eichmann and
whether he was told to answer
questions about certain matters
and not about others
