thursday, january 26, 1978 page 2 daily nebraskan Water cleaning could cost cities millions Washington-The federal government is unveiling new rules to remove cancer-causing substances from the nation's drinking water. But scores of cities may be forced to spend millions of dollars to meet the regulations. In many cases the rules will require charcoal filtration of water supplied by major municipalities to limit the amount of "trihalomethanes" that the water can contain. Some trihalomethanes have caused cancer in laboratory animals. The Environmental Protection Agency scheduled , a news conference Tuesday to announce the new rules, which are expect ed to include limiting the amounts of tri halomethanes to no more than 100 parts per billion parts of water. The regulations will apply to all cities with a population of more than 75,000, affecting approximately half the U.S. population. Carter speech argued Des Moines, Iowa-Gov. Robert Ray's office confirmed Tuesday that Ray and two other Republican governors will appear on CBS television Friday night to answer President Carter's State of the Union message.

James Thompson, and Dela ware Gov. Pierre S. du Pont IV, will be taped in Chicago Friday afternoon and will be broadcast at 9 p m. CST Friday.

Milton Shapp. Sabotage not suspect Wasrungton-The head of the Federal Grain Inspection Service said Tuesday there is no evidence that sabotage caused two recent grain elevator explosions which killed 54 persons. "I don't want to rule it out 100 per cent, but I would be greatly surprised," Leland Bartelt told a House subcommittee on health and safety at the opening of hearings on the explosions. "I know of no evidence that they were other than accidents," he said. Bartelt also testified that he did not think air pollution regulations of the En vironmental Protection Agency "bear very much blame" for the explosions. t daily . iraslian Editor in chief: Ron Ruggless.
