If and when "electric cars" are manufactured, the likeli— hood is that they will be con sidered inadequate for freeway use, Meredith said. Currently-tested battery-pow ered cars may be driven up to 134 miles without charging, but at speeds no greater than 40 miles per hour. High production costs could further hamper public accept ance, he said. A silver-zinc battery, required to give sufficient power to op erate the electric car, could c o s t around $20, 000 to make while all types of battery cells which h a v e been developed would require frequent recharg ing to assure adequate opera tional power. The present gas engine is rated the most etficient type ever produced while tests have shown that it would take a sil ver-zinc battery weighing about 1, 100 pounds to equal the en ergy output of a 600-pound gas oline engine. "This heavy battery required for sufficient power would make the c a r sluggish, " Meredith predicted. The problems with using bat teries for powering cars focus upon storing or generating e- nough electricity so t h a t the power produced will drive the vehicle for large distances with a reasonable amount of speed while not a d d in g excessive weight, it was pointed out. The OSU battery expert has suggested a combination bat tery-gasoline automobile as a possible solution. "The gasoline engine would be set at a certain operating speed, " he proposed. "If this speed were exceeded, the auto mobile would draw on the stor ed energy of the battery far ad ditional power. If the car was operating below the set speed, the gasoline engine would store its excess energy in the battery.'* Yderedith maintains that this combination of power sources would enable the automobile to maintain its power and speed but with a reduction of air pol lution.

F. Poston, Regional Director, Northwest Region, FWPCA. Professor Fred J. Burgess, head of the OSU Department of Civil Engineering, is directing this seven-year program. The pre sent Federal grant of $24, 485 covers the major portion of the reserach costs for 1968, and is the first of three grants to total $79, 461 to complete the final three years of field investiga tions. Work now centers in field studies in the ocean shore area in the vicinity of the Toledo pulp m i l l outfall located at Newport. The research is being coordinated withsimllar Invest igations underway by the staff of the FWPCA's Pacific North west Water Lalxxatory working under Dr. Donald J. Baumgartner, who is Chief of the National Coastal Pollution Research Pro gram lor the FWPCA. The OSU research on ocean outfall pollutional impacts un der Professor Burgess is sched uled for completion with publi cation of a detailed report by m id -1970.The findlngs,conclu- sions, and recommendations of this seven-year research effort will be applicable to waste dis charges from ocean outfalls on open coastlines, particularly o f the type found on the coasts of Oegon, Washington and Cali fornia, TOMATOES-fiKAM Í W Oft WHOLE KERNEL C0A.N- PEAS-SPINACH Oft.
