TO SEE PAGEANT

Phases of History in Self
Help Spectacle.

The depression and recovery efforts
in the light of American history will
be depicted Friday at 7:30 pm. in
the Self-Help Patriotic Pageant on

the District Emergency Relief Admin
istration, with the assistance of the
District Bureau of Transients, the

Public Schools and the District Play
grounds Department.
Extensive Personnel.
Three thousand persons. including
personnel of the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, a chorus of 1000 singers
and 1000 unemployed persons, will be
in the pageant. The pageant was
written by Harry M. Gardener, an
employe of the Relief Administration.

Construction of Preliminary
Phases of Plant Not to
Be Delayed.
IMPORTANT PATENTS
INVOLVED IN PLANS
Commissioners and P.W.A. Urged
by Nationally Known Engineer
Group to Adopt Sludge System.

A change in the type of treatment
to be used in the sewage disposal plant
to be built at Blue Plains is being
studied by District and Public Works
Administration officials, it was re-
vealed today. 1t was said no final
decision on the type of plant has been
reached.
Determination of the type of proc
ess to be employed need not neces-
sarily delay starting of construction
of preliminary phases of the plant,
which is to be built under an $S,o00,-
900 loan to be advanced by the P. w.
A., it was said at the Offices of the
Federal agency.
Important patent rights are involved
in the decision, as to what type of
plant is adopted, according to one off,
cial. The study is said to revolve
around the questions of which type
of plant can be completed in the
shortest time, savings in costs, and
the amount of labor to be employed,
as well as efficiency in operation.
Sludge Process Recommended.
The activated sludge type of process
which uses more considerable
amount of machinery than the chem
lcal treatment plant, was recon-
mended in the report of board of
nationally known sanitary engineers
submitted to the Commissioners and
to Public Works Administrator Ickes
last December That study was made
under a $4,000 grant from the P w.
A. for study of the project and draft
ing of general outline of plans.
The Commissioners have assured
Secretary Ickes they are willing to
hasten construction of the plant as
much as is wise. considering the
amount of money to be expended, and
that preliminary construction work
can be started 80 days after initial
funds are advanced, it is stated. A
letter drafted by Melvin c. Hazen,
president of the Board of Commis-
sioners, was sent to Secretary IckeS
late yesterday. 1t was not released
either at the District Building or the
P. w. A. headquarters up to noon to-
day.
Ickes Non -committal.
While Secretary Ickes had no COM
ment to make, other P. w. A. officials
said they felt sure his reply to the
Commissioners letter would be sat
isfactory." Secretary Ickes was giving
the matter his personal attention and
it was expected he would make public
his reply within short time.
Meanwhile the Sewers Committee
of the Board of Trade has urged the
Commissioners to give careful con-
sideration to the question Of what
type of process should be adopted.
They have raised the question of
whether change in the process might
not prove wise.
Robert v. Fleming. president Of the
trade body; Robert ]. Cottrell. secre-
tary. and NJ x. Wilberding, head of
the Sewers Committee, consulted with
Engineer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan
on the matter yesterday.
The Guggenheim interests, it was
stated today, have been granted hear
ings before engineer officials to present
arguments for type of process they
control

agree to a scale-down of the debts
to an amount equal to IS per cent
of the value of the farm property

The debt reductions represent a
permanent compromise of farmers
debts. They were granted voluntar-
