FREEPORT JOURNAL-STANDARD PAOE 18 WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10,1955 River Towns Urged To Curb Wafer Pollution LOUIS (ft Communities along the Mississippi River in this area were urged today by the Bi- State Development Agency to take steps against increased pollution of the river. The Bi-State Development Agency was created by joint legislation' in Missouri and Illinois to promote proposed industrial expansions in the St. Louis area. The agency, in a report submitted to the governors of Missouri and Illinois, said that 75 per cent of the pollution was due to industrial waste.

St. Louis Garbage It noted that St. Louis garbage, chopped up and put into the river, had been found floating as far as 100 miles downstream'. Swimming in the Mississippi River here is inadvisable, the report added. Most industrial waste and domestic sewerage is discharged into the river without any sanitary treatment, the report set out.

The water pollution, study, based on extensive sampling in 1951 and 1952 of a 35-mile stretdh of the river, indicated that pollution of the Mississippi is not serious enough to constitute a public health hazard. Ask Steps Be Taken However, it pointed out that the amount of waste in the river will increase as population grows and urged communities and sewerage districts on both the Illinois and Missouri sides to take steps to guard against increased pollution. The report estimated that 80 per cent of the urban population on the Missouri side and 75 per cent on the Illinois discharged untreated sewerage directly into the river.

Eisenhower. You'll hear this determination tated by many of the town's ,200 people who have found them- elves neighbors to the President, rlostly they put it something like his: "We're glad to have Ike living in fact.

And, if you come right down to it, it looks as 'if he's going to be good for the tourist business. 'But don't forget that Gettysburg was on the map long before any of this happened.

We had a battle and, much as we like him, Ike is not the first President to honor us with his presence." That's So And of course he isn't, although others haven't spent as much time here. the country will not forget the November day in 1863 when the lean, melancholy figure of Abraham Lincoln descended from a train (at the gray- painted station still standing here) and delivered a few words: "Four score and seven years ago. Other presidents have come to one since Me- Kinley, in fact. But Eisenhower is the first chief executive to take up resi dence here. He this week in the roomy, air-conditioned house he rebuilt a little south of the town, a stone's throw from where Pickett's charge carried the Con federacy to its high water mark.

What Does Town Do? What does a town when it finds a president in its midst? Gettysburg has done the tactful, dignified thing. It found out what the President wanted, then tried to give it to him. It made him welcome at the where Lin- memorable day in 1863. The Gettysburg Country Club opened to him, and most good days when he's here see the President happily careening over the golf course in one of the colorfully painted electric go-carts which the club just happened to buy after it found out he liked them. It fixed up a private locker room for him.

Gettysburg enjoys having Mamie Eisenhower drop in for a round oi hopping at the five-and-dime.

of U. S. Troops (Continued from Page 1) are keeping a close watch on Korean developments. They sympathize with the South Korean resentment at the Communist members of the NNSC, but disagree with the Koreans on what steps should be taken. And, a State Department spokesman said, the United States will continue to abide by its obligation to protect all members of the NNSC.

The United States favors a patient, gradual reduction of NNSC activities until the body, virtually ceases to exist.
