Pakistan, India Drawn Closer Man Who Landed
With Plans for Water Project

New York - (UPD - Eugene R.
Black, president of the World
Bank armed with a billion
dollar water
project, has
been able to
tirino Pakis-
$ M
4!tan and India
io m agi ce
ment, a feat
that has baf-
I fled diplomats
, for years.
The two na-
Klmer Wxlzer tlons have
agreed on a plan to harness
the Indus river which has its
source in the Himalayan
mountains in romantic Tibet
and Kashmir and flows
through Pakistan to the Ara
bian sea.
Black brought the nations
together after the World
Bank had worked out a plan
for the Indus Valley after
years of study. The project
calls for building storage
reservoirs, canals, and irriga
tion svstem. . and power de
velopment. It is estimated to
cost a bilHon dollars and take
10 years to build.
His plan would give India
and Pakistan water, and water
means so much that the two
countries, at least temporarily,
have forgotten their enmity
to agree on the formula.
Born at Bretton Woods
All this was brought out
in a visit to the World Bank
headquarters in Washington.
The bank, officially designat
ed as the International Bank
, for Reconstruction and De
velopment, was born in Bret
ton Woods as a twin of the
International Monetary Fund.
It has grown -over the years
and today is among the few
quasi government agencies
that makes money.
There are many things to
be" done before the giant
Indus Valley program can get
under way and give employ
ment to thousands, use vast
amounts of material, and lay
the basis for a big lift in the
standard of living of the two
nations involved.
Black has sounded out
friendly nations for help in
financing the project. He is
convinced several will join
the United States and the
bank in making the plan a
reality. Those nations outside
the U. S. that may help are
the United Kingdom, Canada,
Australia and - New Zealand,
f Black is convinced there
'will be enough credit for the
work to be completed. Under
Jis formula no project is at
tempted, unless financing is
assured. ' " .
The method to be used
would be to have the friend
ly nations supply a fund
which would be added to and
administered by the World
Bank. '
While the two nations have
agreed on the principles of
the plan, they now must get
together to agree on a water
treaty which will be nego
tiated in London some time
in August.
Such a treaty isn't a simple
job. It involves many prob
lems and obstacles.
Water Key to Peace
In all this world, no scien
tist has as yet found a sub
stitute for water. And so
great is the need for water
that it can .bring nations to
gether when diplomacy and
force of arms fail. Providing
water in ample supply for In
dia and Pakistan means new
life for the two peoples. Any
cutting off of the supply
would mean death to teeming
millions.
The World Bank is inter
ested afeo in water elsewhere.
It is . studying a project to
help Egypt finance deepening
of the Suez Canal to permit
ships of 40-foot draft to use
the waterway. Egypt now , is
deepening the canal to allow
ships of 35-foot draft to go
through.
Russia Helps Egypt
Meantime, Russia is help
ing Egypt finance a new
Aswam Dam on the Nile.
When the first phase of this
dam is completed, the bank
might help in its completion
if Egypt should request 'such
aid, it was indicated.
Talk of a water system for
Jordan gets nowhere because
that nation just doesn't want
one built by outsiders. ..
Some of these days these
great water developments
will .be completed and world
peace will be strengthened
by their existence. -
And their accomplishment
will stand as proof that bank
ers and engineers can produce
a more lasting basis for world
peace than diplomats ' and
armies.
Wall Street Chatter
New Yprk -CPD- The con
sensus in Wall Street is that
there will be a summer rally
this year.
Brokers reason that the
market has successfully ab
sorbed a lot of selling in re
cent r months, indicating' a
strong underlying trend.
They now look for a period
of irregularity in stock prices
during which the market will
set the stage for its next test
of the recent highs in the
Dow-Jones averages.
Bache & Co. sums up senti
ment with the observation
that it is likely more backing
and filling will be witnessed
as a base is built from which
an attempt at matching the
1959 high in the averages can
be launched.
There is significant under
lying strength to push prices
higher and "we feel that a
test of the former high is now
in the offing," says Van AI
styne, Noel & Co.

"Can we carry through in

New York-(OPD-The differ
ence between the Miss Ameri
ca' and. the Mrs. America corf-
tests is this:
With Miss
America what
matters is how
she, the dish,
is stacked:
with' Mrs.
America what
matters is how
she stacks the
dishes.
William Ewald . I find the
Mrs. America approach a rath
er melancholy method . of
judging the merits of a . fe
male and on Saturday night,
CBSTV fittingly filtered out
a rather melancholy special
devoted to the Mrs. America
war games at Ft.- Lauderdale,
Fla.
There were 51 competitors
on board, all of them engaged
in a dreadful round of tasks
that included meat prepara
tion, tile setting, soft water
testing, yeast baking, rug
cleaning, dish washing and
dish stacking. It seemed a
rather dubious honor to me to
be tagged as Mrs. Soft Water,
Mrs., Tinting and Dyeing, not
to mention Mrs. Best Ham,
but then chacun a son gout,
as somebody with the gout
once said.
Disastrous Spectacle ,
In terms of production, the
hour was probably the most
disastrous spectacle since Na
poleon's retreat from Moscow.
Taped sequences of domestic
drudgery-etched earlier in the
week-were dovetailed into the
dull ceremonies proper. As a
result, the whole show kind
of shuttled wildly between
stupefaction and inertia.
The interviews were fatu
ous, the commentating goo
goo, the contestants unrespon
sive, the gratuitous plugs rife
and the emceeing by Bill Lun
digan a small, neat calamity.
Mrs. Iowa, incidentally,
was the winner. And the only
one, I might add, on either
side of the screen for the en
tire evening.
Last of Phil Silvers
The last original Phil Sil
vers show was unpacked on
CBS-TV Friday night and I
can't let the occasion pass
without some praise for the
series. . '
Over the past four cam
paigns, Sgt. Ernie Bilko and
his Army mate's turned out
the most consistently inven
tive fun of any of TV's week
ly entries. The. series had
crackles, originality, wit and
style and in one of its episodes
-the piece about Harry Speak
up, the chimp inducted into
the Army-a really masterful
comic contribution.
So to Sgt.' Bilko this loving
epitaph: Ernie, you were the
only con man toward whom I
ever felt r3ro.

Fords have useable seating

This means more comfort for
