The commission began a study of the committee's re port but there appeared little doubt that it would be adopt ed and the request made soon Chicago Daily News Purchased By Marshal Field Chicago -flJPD- The purchase of the Chicago Daily News -the city's second top news paper shift in 28 months today left Chicago's four large metropolitan dailies un der two owners. They are Field Enterprises, Inc., Monday's buyer, and the Chicago Tribune, Inc., pub lishers of the Tribune and the Chicago American, pur chased from the Hearst corp oration in October, 1956. Marshall Field Jr., Field Enterprises president, an nounced the purchase of the afternoon Daily News from John S. Knight for $50 a share. The estimated sale price for the paper's controlling in terest, which Knight bought In 1944 for $2,150,000, was 18 million dollars. The 481, 293 outstanding shares of the Daily News stock total more than 24 million dollars at the $50 figure. Basis of Competition Field said the Daily News would continue on a basis of "vigorous competition" with the Field-owned Sun-Times, the product of a marger be tween Marshall Field Sr.'s Chicago Sun and the after noon Chicago Times two years after World War II. Until Field bought the Times In 1947, Chicago had five major dailies, all separ ately owned. The merchandising heir started the Sun on Dec. 7, 1941, at the outbreak of the war and published it as a morning paper until January 1948. The combination Sun Times published around-the-. clock for several years. The Hearst-owned Herald American changed its name In 1953 to the American, and three years later was bought by the Tribune ownership but continued as an afternoon daily. The American was in turn the product of several Hearst mergers of the. paper dating back as far as 1854. Marshall Field Jr., new edi tor and publisher of the Daily News, cited rising pub lishing costs for his purchase decision.

Inexhaustible Sea Waters May Become Available at Cheap Cost By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-UPD - The inex haustible waters of the seas may soon become available to make soon become available to make deserts bloom and supply vast industrial needs thanks to a scienific invention which can extract the salt from it with a high efficiency at relatively small cost. This is the word circulating among interested scientists who understand the invention of - their Israeli colleague, Alexander Zarchm, has been proved practical for large scale application after more than two years of pilot-plant testing and experimentation. Zarchin's invention is a technical process which can- italizes on a nhenomenon known for untold centuries frozen sea water is salt-free as it melts under certain con ditions. The extremely diffi cult technical problem was to organize and control this na tural chemistry. Uses Complex Process The technical process which does it is complex. This has made for legalistic difficulties in setting up world-wide pat ent protection, it was said. Israel financed the research and testing, and its govern ment will not divulge any of the finer techniques involved in the process until all patent problems are settled, this re porter learned. The worth of the invention depends upon how much you need water since this controls how much you can pay for it. Israel and the entire arid Middle East need water des perately, especially Israel which is striving to develop an extensive agriculture and industry. Much of Israel's water now comes from deep wells and it costs eight to nine cents a cubic foot to get it to the sur face. It was estimated that the Zarchin process could de salt sea water at one half this cost. There are several other ways of desalting. The Zarchin was was said to cost one tenth or less than the other ways. Plan Unsuited To U.S. No less an authority than Dr. R. L. Nace of the U.S. Geological Survey believes that the wholesale conversion of sea water is not economic ally feasible for this country in the near future. The arid sections are too far removed from the oceans. But for arid nations bordering on seas, it would be economic salvation. The Sahara borders on the Mediterranean, for instance. What powers the process is electricity and the only .auth oritative estimate of cost was in terms of kilowatt hours, i Experimentally three kilowatt hours will process one ton of sea water and produce a high yield of fresh water. The cost of generating a kilowatt hour of electricy is quite high in the Middle East. Generation by water power is the cheapest method which would seem to rule out cheap electricity for arid countries. But development of the head waters of the River Jordan could generate it for transmis sion to sea water conversion plants along the coasts. So could Egypt's projected high dam on the head waters of the Nile.
