INCREASED WATER
SUPPLY PROGRAM
HERE IS STUDIED.
345, 100000 Gallons Will Be
Added by Plans Now Be-
ing Considered.
$3.50, 600 APPROPRIATED
BY CONGRESS FOR WORK
Project Calls for Construction of
Dam at West End of Dale
carlia Reservoir.

An increase in Washington's water
supply by 345, 900 600 gallons, for which
funds are now available, Is provided In
plans being considered by Secretary of
War Hurley and Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown,
chief Of Army engineers.
Congress already has appropriated
Sl50,000 for the project. This would en-
tail the construction of dam at the
west end of the Dalecarlia Reservoir.
The specifications we're drawn up IN the
Office Of Mai Joseph D. Arthur. jr.,
District engineer for the War Depart
ment and the Washington area.
Streets Closed.
Under legislation recently enacted,
the streets IN the Immediate area have
been closed. E. D. Hardy, superintend-
ent of the Dalecarlia Reservoir, said 1t
would take nearly year to complete
the job if the plans are approved.
Four special pumps would be in
stalled as reserve feeders. 1t would
take at least six months to design and
install the new pumps to handle the
increased amount of water and another
six months to complete the dam and all
other necessary work.
The generation Of more electrical
power also will be made possible under
the plans in addition to the increased
supply of water.
Five-Day Supply.
Oficials said this new supply would
insure sufficient water on hand for five
DAYS instead of one day and a half as
at present.
Washington never has been seriously
threatened with a water famine. 1t was
said. and the proposed plans. If carried
out, would remove any such possibility.
During the severe drought of two
wears ago. which furnished a thorough
test of the local water supply. it was
pointed out, that the District had suffl-
cient water above normal consumption
during that period to furnish huge
quantities to nearby Maryland and
Virginia.

DRY HEADS SCORE
BECK RADIO PLEA
Proposal TO Withhold Funds
for Enforcement Held
Menace to u. S.

A portion Of the speech by Repre-
sentative Beck, Republican, Of Pennsyl-
vania in the course of a prohibition de-
bate with Senator Howell Republican,
Of Nebraska, in the National Radio
Forum arranged by The Star and broad
cast over a Nationwide network OF the
National Broadcasting Co. Monday
night, was attacked yesterday in a
statement from the National Prohibi-
tion Board of Strategy.
Held Dangerous Policy.
The board said
Making the Constitution impotent
by refusing appropriations to enforce
prohibition, as proposed by Representa-
tive James NJ. Beck of Pennsylvania in
a radio address January 25, is a revO-
lutionary doctrine which We do not be-
lieve the responsible type of men and
women who make up this Congress, or
who make up any future Congress, will
ever indorSe.
Nor do we believe that any Presi-
dent. or any man who can be elected
President ever would tolerate such
notification of the Constitution.
All Laws Seen Mcnaced.
Mr. Beck's theory could be applied to
any Federal law to which any serious
objection is raised. and if a precedent
were established of killing prohibition
by such a m, thod there would be an
end TO constitutional government
Mr.. Beck is enthusiastically described
by his wet associates as a great con-
stitutional lawyer We confidently be-
lieve that neither the Congress nor the
country will follow leadership that
proposes to scrap an integral part of
the Federal Constitution because ele-
ments in our national citizenship who
fought its adoption object to its en-
forcement."

Harry T. Burleigh
At Rankin Chapel.

HARRY T. Burleigh, who is well
II known all over the country
for his harmonizationS of Negro
spir tuals. gave a stimulating pro-
gram of these last evening in
Rankin Chapel at Howard Uni
versity. Both with his remarks end
his songs Mr.. Burleigh held large
and eager audience in the palm OF
his hand.
This splendid gentleman in his
melodiouS speaking voice lamented
the misconStruction of SpiritualS
with any kind of minstrel song,
claiming that their only true basis
is as representation of the
feelings of the people" 1t seems
the unique distinction of Negro
spirituals lies not in their dialect,
but in their insistence on the
cardinal virtues of faith and love,
their absolute ignorance of rancour
and rebellion. After studying the
folk music of many nations it was
this deep spiritual quality that
brought Mr.. Burleigh back to cham
pion the songs of his own race.
He sang a large number, mostly
of the familiar ones, but even these
seemed new as they came tinged
with religious feeling and sung with
richly sympathetic baritone voice.
Besides having naturally beautiful
quality, Mr.. Burleigh used his voice
very well. Some of the favorttes
were DE Gospel Train" with its

SYSTEM
URGED ON FARMERS
Nourse Issues Warning al
Session of National Co.
operative Council.

American farmers were warned today
by e. G. Nourse, director of the Insti-
tute Of Economics, against attempting
to gain for agriculture permanent
equality with other industries by fight
ing for Compensatory privileges" such
as the export debenture and equaliza-
ton fee.
In an address before the National
Co-opera tive Council, in convention at
the willard Hotel. he maintained ''lt
is now incumbent upon us to rebuild
stable and equitable economic system
upon a genuinely competitive basis
In this" DR.. Nourse said, "agricul-
ture must rely upon technical etfl-
ciency and good economic organization
while demanding the same standard OF
performance and reward from other
economic groups"
Ralph Taylor Speaks.
Ralph H Taylor of Sacramento
Calf. another speaker before the cOun-
cil which is composed of agricultural
marketing co-operativeS throughout the
country urged farmers to form cCun-
ellis or conference bodies In each State
to protect the interests of their CO.
operative business enterprises before
State Legislatures and before the bar
Of public opinion"
AS an example of the effectiveness
of such bodies, he cited his own State,
where, he said, more than 100 bills ap-
proved by the cooperative group
passed the Legislature last session,
while every bill opposed by the organ
ization was rejected
i H.,
Chairman Stone of the Federal Farm
Board urged all farmer cooperative
associations to band together and fight
interests seeking to destroy the board
and cripple the cooperative movement
The opposition, he said, has its seat
in the grain. cotton, live stock and
produce exchanges and is carried back
to the grass roots" by local buyers
trying to poison the minds Of farmers -
Group Systems Urged.
Organization of agriculture into CO.
operative group systems was the pre-
SCriptiOn written yesterday by Glenn
Frank, president Of the University of
Wisconsin, as the cure for the ills of
Americas farmers.
If the American farmer turns his
| back upon a complete and sweeping
organization Of the agricultural forces
of America, nothing under heaYen can
prevent his going to the wall" he de-
clared. In DR.. Franks opinion there
are two methods by which the farmers
can organize-through feudalized con-
troll, by which individual farmers must
surrender to chain systems; or through
federated control, evolved by the fed
Grated action of otherwise independent
units of enterprise"
Federated control of group action"
he explained, means taking advantage
Of all the benefits of group organiza-
ton without submitting to the tyran-
nies of new feudalism. 1t means the
death Of the old indiyidualism. yes
But it means the birth OF a new indi-
vtdualiSm. surrounded by the protection
Of cooperative strength"

Haydn symphony-anda a force that
marked MIN as a genuine crafts
man.
Without benefit of certain show
manistic traits which some volcanic
maestros boast Of Mr.. Walter yes
terday gave the impression OF COM
plete knowledge Of his music and
masterful skill in Subordinatlng
himself to the text. Apparently i'm
bued with its every mood, he nodded
the orchestra into as perfect a
whole as one could wish, leading,
for instance, the "Allegretto graz
ioso" movement of the Brahms
Second Symphony with a seeming
effortlesSneSS which amplltled ltS
fnesse and the graceful "SunnynesS'
of its theme. AS Mr.. Gilman has
said. the whispering unlmaglnable
things" in this and especially in the
adaglo movement, were emphasized
to a degree that gave the impress
sion that no more scholarly and
delightful Interpretation has been
g!-en of this sometimes called Pas
toral Symphony" in long time
down here. Mr.. Walters success
was a tangible and thankfully visi-
BILE Quantity-the audience applaud
ing him with vigor seldom noted
toward the bitter end of the after
Haydn's symphony in B-Flat
Major" a symphony Of which some
one said recently You always have
vour incest thoughts in the middle
of it." the Prokof1eff suite from
The Prodigal Son and the
Brahms Second Symphony was the
pleasing scope of yesterdays pro-
eram-and but for the fact that the
Prokofeff music seemed unlmpor-
tant. being one of those modernlStlc
conceptions which begin splendidly
and arrive nowhere-the program
was nicely balanced and ever more
handsomely executed. The dlmln-
ished orchestra for the Haydn sym
phCny played its score with every
indication of respect for the WlSheS
of its leader: the Prokofieff suite,
while laboring with less dissonanceS
than were recently apparent on an
all-modern program and While once
or twice intriguing the ear with the
pleasant threat of getting ready TO
burst into something which it never
did, was not unduly disrupting, and
the final Brahms symphony was
mixture of such goodness as only
the great among modern conductors
could provide.
In other words, Mr.. Walters de-
but here with the Philharmonic
was an event of the first magnitude
and one which one hopes will re-
turn him eventually to an eagerly
awaiting public.
