Truman Asks
Arms Embargo
WAHHINOTON. April 15 (P
President Truman today proposed
(weeping changes In this country's
neutrality law to permit the gov
ernment to place embargoes on
shipments of arms to unfriendly
nations.
In a message to congress, the
president said he must be free to
act "In accordance with our posi
tion In the United Nations."
Under section 12 of the neutral
ity act, Mr. Truman pointed out,
the requirement of Impartiality
forces the secretary of state to
"treat aggressor and aggrieved,
peacemaker and troublemaker
equally by granting every applica
tion for the license for the exporta
tion of any arms, ammunition or
Implements of war unless such ac
tion would be In violation of a
treaty."
"Such a provision of law Is no
longer consistent with this coun
try's commitments and require
ments," the president's messages
said.
Spring Weather
Ups Water Use
A 25 per cent Increase In water
consumption locally went hand In
hand Sunday and Monday with the
rise In temperature according to
Bam Ritchey, district manager of
The California Oregon Power com
pany. Summer sprinkling rates extend
from the period of the April to
October reading, many parts of the
city right now receiving 'benefit
from the summer rates.
With the mercury hitting 82 Sun
day afternoon and S3 Monday,
Copco meters showed an Increase
of some 25 per cent over the winter
average, or a gallonage increase of
one million gallons per day, Ritchey
observed. Compared to the hottest
part of the summer last year, mid
August, water consumption is still
1,700,000 gallons per day short.

Need For Mental t
Hospitals Told
SAN FRANCISCO. April 14
(JP) The United States needs
one outpatient mental health
clinic for at least 100.000 of
population, if the nation is to
cope with the mounting inci
dence of insanity or cases verg
ing on insanity, Dr. R. H. Felix,
chief of the U. S. public health
service's mental hygiene divi
sion, said today.
In an address prepared for the
74th annual meeting of the na
tional conference of social work.
Dr. Felix compared the present
battle against mental diseases
with that launched 40 years ago
against tuberculosis.
A $10,000,000 yearly federal
appropriation to the state is
counted on to produce the need
ed mental health clinics, he said,
although the goal is not imme
diately attainable due to per
sonnel shortages.
Washing machines came Into
general popularity at the time
of the first World War.
