Wed., May 24, 19501 OUT OUR WAY War And Politics Get Blame For Shortages Of Water In Many Parts Of United States PHILADELPHIA CP) The war and politic! were blamed here (or the nation's widespread water shortages.

Jordan of New York, association secretary, put it this way in an interview: "Actually, as will be explained many times at the convention, there is intrinsically no long range water shortage.

It is nut enough. We need to increase that figure by another $100,000,000 a year for the next ten years. "The urgency of the problem is indicated by the fact that more and more Americans are moving to the cities. This accelerating transition from rural. to urban liv ing makes it increasingly neces sary for us to put our national water systems in proper order and that means looking carefully to the future. "Too many people seem to over look the obvious that water is not like coal or like a commodity turned out of a .factory. You don't dig it, and you don't make it. You get it in God's good time; And if you are smart you take earn of it when it comes. You develop sup plies beyond normal requirements against the seasons when rainfall and snow are skimpy."
