CHICAGO, March 18.-The first
thing Frank McKinsey did when he
entered the State Hospital for the In
sane at Kankakee, Ill, November 1,
1928, was to ask for stationery, pen
and bottle of ink.
The keepers, relieved to find that
their new inmate was not violent, gladly
furnished what he asked and kept on
furnishing it almost every day.
McKinsey became perhaps the most
prolific letter writer ever known to the
Kankakee institution. Day after day he
would pen letters to his sister, the po-
lice, the mayor, the governor and many
other oficials.
The subject of the letter was always
the same-would the party written

YOUNG ASKS TIME
IN AIRPORT QUIZ
Witness Indicates Informa-
ton Is Confidential When
Being GrilIed.

The senatorial subcommittee handling
airport legislation for the District will
make another effort tomorrow morning
to get from H. E. Young of the Iowa
Thomas Circle Citizens Association the
source Of the statement Young made
several days ago to the effect that he
understood two Senators were financial
ly interested in the site near the south
end of the Highway Bridge recommend
ed for the municipal airport.
Subpoenaed before the airport SUBJ
committee late yesterday, Mr.. Young
admitted he made the remark at
tributed to him at the meeting of the
Federation of Citizens Associations Sat-
urday night, but asked for time to get
legal advice when pressed as to where
he heard these reports.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, OF
Michigan, chairman of the airport SUBJ
committee, launched the investigation
within q few hours after Mr.. Young's
federation speech had brought vigorous
replies on the floor of the Senate. Sen
ator Jones, Republican, of Washington,
joined Senator vandenberg in examin-
ing the witness at the hearing.
Toward the close of the hearing Mr.
Young told the subcommittee he also
had heard that Son-in-law OF a cabi.
net member was financially interested
in the proposed airport site.
Young Admits Remark.
Senator Vandenberg opened the hear
ing yesterday by reading one OF the
published accounts of the federation
meeting, after which he asked YOUNG
If it quoted him correctly. In reply
Young told the subcommittee he wa
one of the few delegates at the fedora
ton meeting who spoke in favor Of thu
airport project, but said he did make
the remark that he had heard two
Senators were interested in the site.
"Will you tell the subcommittee where
you got that tnformation?" Senator
Vandenberg asked.
Young answered that he did not want
to oppose the committee, but he would
like to consult lawyer, indicating the
conversation referred to had been in
confidence.
you understand this is a very seri-
Gus matter?" Senator Vandenberg con-
tinued.
"I did not mention any names,
Young replied.
THAT makes it all the worse, because
it reflects on all of the Senate" Senator
Vandenberg informed him.
The Michigan Senator then asked the
witness If he also declined to name the
Senators who had been mentioned in
the reported conversation
Mr.. Young replied that he did not
have personal knowledge, but only what
had been told him.
II understand" said Senator Van
denberg, that you did not refer, di-
rectly or indirectly. to any member
Of the Joint Congressional Airport Com
mission?"

leased at sea level at Little Falls in large
and assured quantities, sufficient for the
water supply of the whole region.
Against this suggestion question has
been raised as to possible pollution OF
the lake above any dam at Chain Bridge
and as to the relative costs of sewers
and water conduits between Great Falls
and Little Falls
No estimates have been made by the
committee of these costs. but have been
left for later period when the matter
is taken up more seriously.
From Holmes Run.
Alexandria gets its water supply from
Holmes Run, which it conducted into a
reservoir on the hills back Of the city.
This run, or what is left Of it, runs of
eventually to the Potomac River by way
of Hunting Greek, south of Alexandra
City.
No detailed study of any method to
increase the water plan from Holmes
Run is included in the committees re-
port. So far as can be aScertained from
the report, Alexandria is not in danger
of suffering from water famine, on
account of the large Alexandria Reser-
voir. above the city. The stream which
feeds it, however, is comparatively small,
and in the present drought has fallen to
scarcely more than a mere trickle IN
some places.

Developments in the upper valley"
The committee says it has made no
estimates OF the cost of providing stor-
age facilities nor the cost of a new
conduit and other work between Great
Falls and Washington. That is left to
be done by the Army engineers and
their assistants at any later period when
it may be considered necessary.
The mains installed in Arlington
County. Va, about two years ago were
planned on a basis of receiving water
from the District Of Columbia at Chain
Bridge. If the District should cease TO
supply Arlington County, the country
would naturally prefer to receive water
from these mains in this vicinity, IN
the opinion of the committee. The
Potomac River at this point runs as low
as 24O ,000, 900 gallons per day, due to
the diversions at Great Falls and IN
spite of the small now brought by
tributary streams entering below Great
Falls.

While the capacity of the conduits
from the Great Falls of the Potomac
River to Dalecarlia Reservoir is now
100 000.000 gallons of water per day,
this capacity could easily be increased
by minor changes in the system, ac-
cording to the United States Engineers
Once, to 100000, 900 gallons per day.
ITO further increase the supply from
Great Falls, in order to continue TO
serve Arlington County after about 1883,
or to supply portions of Maryland, add1-
tional conduits and other works would
be required" adds the Committee on
Water Supply Problems in its prelimi-
nary report to the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
The drainage area of the Potomac
Basin above Great Falls is about IL 400
square miles, while the discharge OF
water at Great Falls has varied from a
maximum of 800 900 900 gallons per day
to 422 900 900 gallons per day, accord
ing to figures furnished by the COM
mittee. The Potomac River and its
tributaries are subject to sudden and
very great variation in the now OF
water
Basin Has Large Area.
Many persons fail to realize the ex-
tent of the Potomac River Basin. For
instance. all OF the water from the
Shenandoah Valley, which is collected
by the Shenandoah River over an eX-
tent of many miles, is discharged into
the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry.
The South Branch of the Potomac River
is a great river in itself, while the North
Branch of the Potomac rises on the
very edge Of the Ohio Valley. Numer-
Gus smaller streams flow into the Poto-
mac River from the eastern or northern
side. and some of their headwaters are
found in the vicinity Of Gettysburg, Pa.
The attention Of the committee has
been called to the fact that other cities
and towns above Washington, such as
Cumberland, Harpers Ferry, Hagers-
town, etc, will divert some water from
the Potomac River for water supply.
Besides these diversions, it is also neces-
sary to consider the probability, the
committee points out, Of more rapid
rlin-off, due to further development OF
the drainage area, which would increase
freshet flows, but might further reduce
the minimum flow, which must be taken
as a basis for all water supply figures.
It is also recognized that diversion OF
water from the Potomac at Great Falls
for water supply purposes would reduce
the flow Of water over the falls and
affect their appearance. just as II 1t
were used for power purposes.
Must Increase Storage.

nittee." continues the report, that II
