Republican members of the Senate
have followed with keen interest re-
ports Of the proceedings before the
lobby committee since Mr.. Huston has
been on the stand Some admittedly
have been perturbed.
The view Of the situation taken by a
prominent Republican leader at the

In regard to the availability of Mr..
Huston as national chairman should be
suspended until after the inquiry is
bers of the Senate have not yet had an
opportunity to read the testimony and
are not in position to judge for them
selves what the situation is.
Others Favor Resignation.
Other Republican Senators, without
casting any reflections upon Mr.. Hus-
ton, said they were inclined to the be-
lief that sooner or later Mr.. Huston
would feel that he could serve the best
interests of the party if he resigned.
These Senators, who declined to be
quoted, said that In their opinion Mr..
Huston's usefulness as a party leader
In q national campaign had become
impaired. This opinion, it was said,
had been conveyed to the President.
Belief was expressed at the Capitol
that Mr.. Huston would certainly not
resign the Craftsmanship as long as the
inquiry, in which he has become in
volved, was being conducted by the

When ali testimony is in, it was
pointed out, the question of Mr.. Hus-

sumption at peak load, according to
Weschler, would amount to 929 gallons

The mains in the vicinity of the new

declared, are entirely inadequate to

inch main to which 1t is proposed to

of 929 gallons a minute would seriously

District water users would bear all the
