In order to keep pace with its

of Dallas has asked the Corps of

Engineers estimate that Garza-
Little Elm can safely produce a
year-found average of 107 million
gallons of water per day for Dal-
las, and that the proposed Aubrey
lake would provide an average of
100 million gallons per day.

be increased to 244 million gallons
per day if the engineers would

- PROBLEMS STRESSED
Greeting Bulganin and Khrush-
chev on their arrival Wednesday.
Eden emphasized that Britain
seeks serious talks with them on
international problems
In reply, Bulganin declared the
“Soviet government seeks to have
friendly relations with Britain as
well as the United States, France
and other countries.”
Shortly after their arrival, Bul-
ganin and Khrushchev were es-
corted on a tour of London's tradi-
tional tourist sights. They dined
last night with Eden and Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd at Clar-
idges. the luxury hotel where the
Russians are occupying second-
floor royal suites.
The general cool public reaction
accorded Bulganin and Khrush-
chev when they landed at Ports-
mouth yesterday and later when
they reached London was matched
by their treatment in London
newspapers today. Resentment
against police zeal in guarding the
visitors and keeping crowds of on-
lookers under control seemed to
be widespread.
Morning newspapers gave
ream* of space to the visit and
published a total of 52 photographs
of the two Russians. The news
columns played it straight for the
most part, but here and there hos-
tile overtones cropped out. Com-
ment on the security measures
and police conduct also was prom-
inent. „ " •

yield less funds,” he said.

pointed by him, and approved by
the club’s officer nominating corn-
