FLOOD CONTROL
ARMY IS READY
Mai. Guyer and Aides Pre-
pared to Protect
Capital.

Maj. Robert G. Guyer, District en-
eineer for the War Department In the
Washington area, and his flood con-
troll army are perfecting plans to go
into action, should a sudden thaw and
warm rains in the upper Potomac
River basin send a deluge down upon
Washington.
Acting as Maj Guyer's right-hand
man is the senior civilian engineer, Z.
A. Schmitt, who has a voluntary or
ranization prepared, comprising work.
ers In his own Office, officials Of the
District governments Sewer and High
way Departments and others and en-
ployes of the National Capital Parks.
Would Get Advance Notice.
Washington, in the event of major
food, would get about "a hours ad-
vance notice, Schmitt said. Weather
Bureau gauges would give the first
hint of danger, Schmitt explained.
In order to have a disastrous flood
here, Schmitt said, it would be neces-
sary to have the combined waters OF
the upper Potomac and Shenandoah
Rivers, which meet at Harpers Ferry,
W. Va, at flood tide. Varying factors
enter into the situation, he said, IN
cluding the rainfall over the Potomac
River basin, the snowfall in the high
mountains and the temperatures.
The largest recorded food In recent
memory occurred June 2, 1889,
Schmitt said, when the waters regis
tered 43 feet at Chain Bridge and
stayed at 18 feet at the old Aqueduct
Bridge, where the river is wider.
To Protect Buildings.
Recently measures were taken Tor
affording flood protection to the public
buildings along Constitution avenue by
raising the grade Of Potomac Park at
the northern end, in the vicinity OF
Seventeenth street on the Washington
Monument Grounds, to a maximum
O. 8 feet. Earth for this was secured
from the excavation for the new In
terror Department Building now being
constructed at Eighteenth and E
streets. As further step in flood pro-
lection, the park authorities raised
the grade of Constitution avenue at
Twenty-third street when that high
way was recently reconstructed.
Oficials of the National Capital
Parks under the emergency food
control set-up, are charged with plac-
ing sand bags across Seventeenth
street Just south of Constitution ave-
nue. to form a dyke For an ordinary
food the level would be raised about
4 feet. Mr. Schmitt has arranged
with sand and gravel companies here
to supply the necessary material for
stemming the waters.
Government officials estimate that
with the recently undertaken food
control construction the public build
ings are protected up to about 12-
foot depth above the normal average
Siow of the Potomac River.
In the vicinity Of the Washington
Channel, officials said, it would be
necessary to have the District gov
ernment cooperate by throwing up
dykes or sand bags to prevent the
tncursion Of the waters in that region
Evening star., 1936-02-07

to dismiss an injunction suit Of 135
"class /" railroads.
The Government also contended
In its answer to the suit that no
act or threatened act Of the Rail-
road Retirement Board would affect
ANY rates" Of the railroads because
the board was without present power
to issue any order or to take any
action" affecting any right Of tbs
carriers.
The railroads charge unconstitu.
tionality of both the retirement and
tax acts, laws passed after the Su.
preme Court had scrapped a com.
bined bill of previous enactment.

SUPREME COURT GETS
D. C. Benefit CASE
"Nurse and Housekeeper" Asks
She Get 81, 800 Instead Of
Policemans Widow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court was asked yes
terday to decide whether the nurse
and housekeeper" or tn widow Of a
Washington policeman, was entitled to
the 81 500 death benefit from the Met
ropolitan Police Relief Association.
Mrs. Katherine r. simpkins, the
housekeeper. appealed to the highest
court from rulings by lower courts in
the District which awarded the death
benefit to the widow, Mrs. Maggie
MacDermott,
The policeman. Hugh MacDermott,
died November 9. 1888. Mrs. Simpkins
told the highest court she had been
his housekeeper and his nurse for "a
number of years" She also presented
q written paper signed by MacDer-
mott q few weeks before his death
which designated her as beneficiary.
