stream pollution crosses state
 boundaries and becomes at once national issue. Unless we can CO., ordinate the laws and policies of the various states and the federal government into one unified plan, the prevention of contamination
 will remain largely ineffective.
 "In Germany a system has been
 set up which not only eliminates
 much pollution but actually con-
 yerts waste matter into gases and other products useful for modern
 consumption.
 Aside from the health stand point, which is paramount, this waste, and the vast expenditures required in frequent dredging or navigable streams where uquld sewage settles to obstruct shipping, as we'll as the great damage to hsh and wild life, represent a much greater outlay than would be re- uuired by a unified system of con- trol and utilization. "The governments present soil erosion program, as well as It's ef- forts to conserve forests and other natural resources, should be linked with a definite step toward conser- vation of our streams and wild lne and protection of health through the stream plrification movement. | It is by no means a fantastlcal project, but one which will de1- | initely develop within the coming months and may ultimately result | in the creation of a watershed commission which would be vested with authority over streams from source to their mouth"

Hospital Staff Physicians Seek to Throw More
 Light on Subject

Kansas City. Mo -- (UP) = Staff physicians of hospitals here, who treated many heat victims last summer, are now checking over their records and seeking to throw more light on the subject. Medical literature, they say. does not have a great deal of information on heat attacks.
 At General hospital. S2 eases were treated, of which 63 were heat stroke. The others were heat exhaustion. In the former 1t was found the temperature usually was far above normal. In heat exhaustion the temperature was a little above normal, but the body was cold and ciammy. More men were felled by the heat than wo- men, but the mortality rate was higher for women. Death resulted in 34 of the S2 cases. 32 of the deaths being among those suffer ing from heat stroke.
 Other data showed that where the temperature reached 1O8 de- erees death resulted in 63.4 per cent. Those who suffered from cy- anosis (blue lips and fingerna1ls) died in 89 per cent of cases. The death rate of those who lost con- sciousness was 55.5 per cent. AL an whose blood pressure fell below " died, and 54.5 per cent or tnose whose pulse beat passed l4V peaee a minute scuccumbed.

Washington, D. C.-Aconference of experts and leaders in move ment for a nationwide stream pur1- fication program will be held in Washington on December with Secretary of War Dern, to formu- late a plan for the coming Con- gress and the president, according to announcement made to-day by Senator Augustine Lonergan (d) Connecticut, who will be in charge.
 The senator said that invitations have been sent to Governor John G. Winant, of New Hampshire; Grover c. Ladner, chairman of the water committee of the Pennsyl- vania Conservation Council; pr Baldwin Ward, Smithsonian Instl- tuition authority; Joseph Baechler, specialist on stream pollution for Norfolk, Va chapter of the Izaak Walton League; General s. H. Wadhams, director state water commission of Connecticut; Dr Nj. M. Ellis of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries; Kenneth A. Reid, mem- Der of the Board of Fish Com missioners of Pennsylvania; United States Senator Royal s. Copeland; {; Dr A. F. Woods, department of agriculture; w. c. Mendenha., Geological Survey; a representative of the Public Health Service; Sam- uel M. Ellsworth, consulting engi- neer, Boston, Mass; Newton fl. Russell, president of the Massachu- sets division, Izaak Walton League; and Dr Darcy Magee. Izaak Walton League, Washington, D. c.
 Proposals will be laid before the conference, Senator Lonergan said, representing the views of each delegate and each section repre- scented, and questionnaires will probably be sent to various states too remote to be represented unless a decision is made to hold a later conference representing all of -fhe staes.
 In discussing the program Sem ator Lonergan said that he had presented an extensive report to the president a year ago which is now in the hands of the secretary of war, recommending that the ad- ministration shape a definite poll icy to control pollution of streams in the interest of health, naviga- tion and utilization of waste mat
  present the federal government has only one law by which it can ex- ercise such control, and it is ad- ministered by the secretary of war to prevent the dumping of solid waste matter into navigabl streams. Even under this law, he reported, it is possible for large cities to dump millions of gallons of sewage into streams each day in liquid form.
 The Public Health Service has made some progress in solving the problem, the senator's report to the president said, but because ot constitutional limitations finds ii necessary to devote most of its eff forts to encouraging the states to enact laws on the subject or form compacts with other states.
 Like other modern problems, the senator said, "the problem oi

led by firemen last night. An alarm from Box 21 at 8:04 last night brought firemen to the bakery shop of sam Schiller at 91 North Elm street, where 8 back door was found ablaZe. At 9:34, an alarm was rung in for a fire in shed owned by the Scovill Manufactur- ing Company at 193 Maple street, one block east of North Elm street.
 Saturday night, at 10:5S. fire men were called to 57 Third street by telephone, but when firemen ar- rived the blaze had been put out by a group of boys. At S.47 yester- day morning, the firemen answered another alarm at the same prop erty, which is owned by Marco Ca paldo of S5 Charles street. The blaze had apparently come from the cellar, worked up through par- titions to the second floor club ] rooms, and spread into the attic. Considerable damage was done to interior of the building and firemen believed that the blaze had been fed with gasoline or some similar substance.
 The investigation into the suspi- cious fires is being conducted by Marshal Lahey and his aide, Cap tain William G. Russell, with the North Elm street series of blazes slated to receive the most atten- tion, though this fact is not admit ted officially.
 Statement of Marshal
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey's state- ment in connection with recent fires here is as follows:
 sSXNa haUa nnt orD1inpd that the fire in the Garden building the most serious of all, was caused by defective wiring in the feed line coming into the structure. Appar- ently, the fire started under the main floor of the so-called Owl Lunch, and apparently, too, some time was lost in not sending in the alarm as quickly as could have been done. Smoke was observed for several minutes before the alarm | was given, in the belief that 1t came from the baking equipment of the lunch room"
 "There is a suspicion of incen- diarism attached to the fire at 57 Third street, a club house occu- pied by various young men of that section and vacant apartment on | the second floor, no fire could have made the progress this one did Lwithout an application of some chemical. we think, to carry it along. And yet, it must have been done by some person who evident i ly just wanted to see a fire. Re- member, there was a small fire in the basement of the building earlier in the evening, but this was extinguished by the young men themselves. Then, when they left l and locked up their place for the night, some one we feel got inside and set it on fire.

 The pursuit led along the boule- yard, and down onto Pine street the stolen car racing at more than 60 miles an hour with the police car close behind. Racing along Pine street, the stolen car almost failed to make the turn at Hill- side avenue, skidding about on two wheels and passing a red light in the process.
 Forced To Curb
 Directly out on to Willow street and across onto Johnson street the chase led, with the police car mar rowly avoiding collision with a
 bus as it sped across the fusy thoroughfare. As the two cars drew on to Waterville street, Pa trolman Petit managed to get the police car closer, and keeping only one hand on the wheel, drew out his service revolver. He flashed the gun at the occupants of the stolen car as he forced them into the curb and the youths, thoroughly fright ened, surrendered quietly.

 EnteS tO Re Decided

They are only one of several groups on whose actions much de- bends, the fate of the following:
 Nazis, sworn enemies of social ism and Communism; Catholics, watching the interest of the Ger man government in church affairs, regugees from Nazi Germany, and the mass of ordinary Saar resi- dents.
 Last nights riot increased ten- sion. Members of the Nazi Ger man front" working to insure that the Saar people will vote to re- turn to German nationality, as- serted that the Communists were | maneuvering to create an incident which would cause an appeal by the League of Nations governing commission for the invasion of French troops.
 The "German front" men said that the communists realized NaZis | did not want an incident; that | Nazis were confident the Saar was going to return to Germany. They said they had positive knowledge | that the communists were smug- gling arms across the frontier from France, and had machine guns and bombs with which they intended | to cause sufficient disorder to make | French intervention inevitable.
 More Riots Arc Feared. | More riots were feared as the day for the plebiscite drew nearer.
 Nazis have no doubt of the result of the vote. They take the view that the Saar is inherently German and would no more think of vot- ing to be anything but German than would section of people of any other country voluntarily place themselves under alien rule for half a generation.
 It was learned today that Chan cellor Adolf Hitler had arranged for a triumphal entry into the Saar if the vote were favorable.
 Several months ago Hitler, in a speech from just across the border line. said to Saar people:
 "The next time I address you, it will be your own territory"
 Hitler has said also that the Saar territory is the only remain ing cause for a possible quarrel be- tween Germany and France. A pro | German vote. would remove this cause in German eyes. No other result would.
 German soldiers destroyed French coal mines during the World War. The Saar is rich in coal. By the Versailles treaty the 73S square mile area of the Saar basin was allotted to France for exploitation for Is years under the government of the League of Nations commits sion. It was provided that the people at the end of 15 years should vote whether to return to Germany; to become French; or to remain for an indefinite time under league rule.
 The people themselvs hold tn answer to the Saar problem; and their decision will he of incalcul- able importance to all Europe.

 Only Two In Hospital
 Only two of the injured half dozen were still in the hospital to- day as the result of the $25,000 blaze, starting, 1t is believed, from defective wiring.
