The Maryland suburban area
which has been supplied with wa
ter from the Burnt Mills reservoir
will be served entirely by the Dis
trict hereafter, it was announced
today by j. Donald Clagett, of the

JUSTICE AGENTS Will
PROBE ROVER'S OFFICE
CITE ATTORNEY
FOR DELAYS
IN COURT

The Department Of Justice has
begun an investigation of the Of.
flee Of United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover. following charges
on the floor Of the House by Rep
reSentative Simmons of Nebraska
that Rover is to blame for short
hours" charged to Justices Of the
District Supreme Court.
Recently the Court was criti-
cized because the Justices did not
remain on the bench for a suffi.
cient length Of time, in the opin-
ion Of investigators, and the
charge was made that defendants
languished in jail while the court
recessed on one excuse or an
other.
1t was pointed out that the
trouble might be in the office of
the District Attorney, where it
was indicated assignments may
have been neglected and cases
put over from time to time be-
cause the office was not in a
position to go into court with
evidence available.
Staff Offers Defense
Members of Rover's staff yes
terday came to the defense of
the office and cited the fact that
cases which originated in Decem-
ber are being tried at the pres
ent time. It was contended by
assistants that the office is in
better shape now than it has
ever been.
Despite these protestations a
check is being made by the De
partment of Justice and will be
continued until the office has
been thoroughly investigated, 1T
was stated yesterday at the De
partment of Justice.
1t is also pointed out by many
prominent attorneys that wnan
Justice Peyton Gordon was made
United States Attorney his office
was manned by six assistants
and when he was appointed to
the bench this number had been
more than trebled as had the
office force.
The criminal calendar, accord
ing to many about the court
house, is not in any better condi-
tion now than it was ten years
ago despite the vast increase in
the number of assistants ap-
pointed to take care of the work.
