Streams for Trout Today
and Tomorrow.

early this afternoon for his camp or
the Rapidan River.

order sometime ago and Mr.. Hoover

too great, the President will not miss ar
opportunity to spend each week end, at
least until the end of June, at his fish
ing camp.
The opportunity will be offered the
President tomorrow or Sunday to visit
the nttl, school house recently opened
Tor the mountain children in that

Representative Supports
Stand of Col. Grant in
Potomac Controversy.
SAYS ENGINEER UNFAIR
IN USE OF NEWSPAPERS
Author of Park Bill Declares State.
ment Issued to Influence
Congress.

With scorching condemnation OF
Maj. Brehon B. Somervell, United States
engineer for this district, Representative
Cramton of Michigan today came to the
defense of Col U. S. Grant, 3d., d.
rector of public buildings and public
parks in the Capital. in his controversy
with the Army engineer over the effect
Of power development at Great Falls.
Mr.. Cramton, author of the bill pro-
viding for comprehensive development
of the Capitals park and playground
system, declared that Maj. Somervell
had not only been unfair to Col. Grant
with his recent statement that the park
development would involve a waste OF
$100,000,000 in natural resources, was
given to the newspapers for the mani
fest purpose of influencing Congress.
Mr.. Cramton particularly deprecated
Mai. Somervells use of the newspapers
as a forum for his attack on the park
development plan. but pointed out that
Col Grants use of the same medium in
reply had thoroughly 'punctured the
Somervell 100000 900 balloon"
mo Need for Power"
There has been a Nationwide de-
mand," Mr.. Cramton said, for the
preservation of Great Falls and the
Potomac Gorge and its scenic beauties
for park purposes, whereas there is no
apparent need or demand for power
development at Great Falls at this time.
THE latest outburst of Mai. Somer-
veil, emphasizing his preference for
power development rather than pTeSer-
Great Falls and the gorge of the Po-
tomac for park purposes" said Mr..
Cramton, only emphasizes his enthu-
siastic devotion to his own opinions,
but does not contribute any new facts
for the benefit of those who have to
decide the problem. I am particularly
grieved that he has been so unfair to
his colleague of the Army, Col. Grant.
Maj. Somerven having for several
months resorted 10 the newspapers to
air his views on this problem and main
testify for the purpose of influencing
Congress, and his views having been set
forth at great length and with the aid
Of photographs in the Washington
performed a manifest duty with his
customary personal courtesy when he
gave the press day or two ago a state
ment of the facts which admittedly
made Maj. Somervells frequently ex-
pressed opinion of $100000,00 waste In
my bill look rather ridiculous, but in
this he neither questioned Maj. Somer-
vells motives in appearing as the
principal champion of the Byllesby
Power interests nor did he make any
attack upon Maj. Somerveu personally
Says Major Unfair.
THAT the logic of the argument pre-
Sented by Col. Grant has been annoying
TO Maj, Somervell is apparent from
his apparent loss of control Of himself
in his reply. He was particularly un-
fair to Col. Grant when he says that
Col Grant was requested to reply TO
his statement on the Potomac by the
Senate District committee and declined
to do so. That statement of Maj.

iStence of diplomatic immunity for rep
