ae Scon Waaen Steaiially Edison A $12 million U.S. Public Health Service study, aimed at reducing water pollution and conserving water resources in New Jersey, New York and parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont, will be directed from a federally retained section of the Raritan Arsenal alongside the Raritan River here. Selection of the arsenal base as control center for the massive new water resources study was announced yesterday by the Public Health Service at a conference with the Metropolitan Regional Council in the former arsenal administration building. The new study has been labeled the Hudson Cham-plain Metropolitan Coastal Project. Paul DeFalco of Edison, who has been directing a Raritan Bay pollution study for the U.S.

Public Health Service, was introduced as director of the new project. Will Take 7 Years Estimating that the project would take seven years to complete DeFalco hoped it would establish water control policy for the region, meeting all needs anticipated for the next 50 years. He said the project's control center at Raritan Arsenal would probably be augmented by a field station in the Albany, N.Y., area and by a substation on Long Island. There would be a staff of 150, including geologists, chemists and biologists. DeFalco explained that the project had been launched as a cooperative undertaking of federal, state and local government agencies in liaison with interstate water agencies.

He said studies would be made of all sources of pollution in the area and estimates would be made of future water uses and demands so that an effective program could be established to ensure the best use of water resources and a reduction of pollution. Wide Study Slated The studies will include an investigation of tidal flows, ground water pollution, storm water overflows, shellfish resources, small boat a'nd vessel pollution, municipal and industrial water use, and ways to protect recreation areas. DeFalco said it would be the first such comprehensive study for the region. Careful consideration would be given, he said, to improvements needed to con serve waters for fish life, recreation, agriculture and in- dustry. Emphasizing the need for such regional study, DeFalco said rainfall and water basins did not follow state or county lines.

The aim had to be to avoid overabundance of water reserves in one area while serious water shortage was being experienced in an adjoining area. It was likely, he said, that the. suburban metropolitan area including New Jersey might have to import water from outlying areas in the future. Ways also had to be found to reduce or eliminate salt water intrusion in ground water supplies of New Jersey. Pollution Cited As things were, he added, the recreational potential of waters in the region had been greatly reduced by pollution at a time when population expansion created greater need for more water and more easily accessible recreational areas.

Answering questions, DeFalco said none of the $12 million appropriated for the study would be available to finance municipal, county or state water conservation projects. There were other federal funds available to aid such "local" programs, he said. Those attending the conference included Union County Freeholder John V. Donohue, Robert G. Schaeffer, Union County Park Commission; P.

E. Fitzpatrick, manager of Bound Brook Water Company; John R. Latham, American Cyanamid Henry D. Hawke, Union County Mosquito Control Commission; Frank M. Doughty, Plainfield Health Department, and Mrs.

Daniel E. Robinson of Metuch-en, representing the N.J. League of Women Voters. nb SECOND SECTION Middlesex County News THE C0OMER-NEW It's Been Said Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

But for Metuchen to get any of these funds for local purposes, it is necessary for the borough to get ready now.

A workable committee is one of the prerequisites for participation, he said. His 5-man committee will include representatives of the Metuchen Youth Council as well as members of municipal boards dealing with health, welfare and recreation. He not only wants the new committee to serve as liaison with the county, but he wants it to be prepared to refer any eligible borough youngsters to the new $11 million training center scheduled to be set up at Camp Kilmer. Warning that participation in the "anti-poverty" program was not an immediate thing, Flanagan asserted, "When the money is available it will be on the first come first served basis, and I want Metuchen to be ready." len O'Neil; "Shepherds on advocate, and the A.
