Job Increases are expected du
ring the next two months In. most
durable goods Industries except
automobiles, in several soft goods
Industries and in trade and con
struction, the department said.
In auto factories, the department
said, the outlook Is "uncertain."
Some automobile centers expect
further "minor" job cutbacks but
most foresee little or no change
from current Job levels over the
next few months. It said.
The department predicted the
aircraft industry will replace the
auto Industry as the "primary
Impetus" for the expected rise In
employment In durable goods fac

been increasingly stimulated" In

Sewege Water
Salvage Told
BERKELEY" fUP) A Univer
sity of California engineer, says
water reclaimed from sewage and
Industrial wastes. can be profitably
used to take up the gap of Califor
nia's acute water shortages.
P. H. McGauhey. assistant di
rector of the sanitary engineering
research laboratory on the Berke
ley campus, also pointed out that
in some cases the reclaimed water
is even cheaper than regular irri
gation water.
He spoke during the final session
of a two-day water reclamation
conference at the university. .
"While treated waste water prob
ably won't be used for domestic
supplies," McGauhey said, . "-it
should be a highly significant sup
ply source for Industry and agricul
ture In the future."
Discussing California's overall
water supply, Harve O. Banks,
acting State Engineer of the Divi
sion of Water Resources, aald the
state's resources are "adequate to
meet foreseeable needs if they ere
wisely controlled."
Banks warned against uncoordi
nated development of Individual
water projects and said a single
water utilization plan must prevail
throughout the State.
