the state where a new trial had
been granted by a lower judge
after the supreme court found no

rated the plan of having monthly con-
ferences Of the regimental and sepa-
rate battalion commanders. The first
Of these conferences was held last

from his subordinates on the condi-

particularly inquired as to the motor
equipment available for field service.
He was informed that the rolling stock
now available for field service in the
event the units were called into service
would only be sufficient for the trans
portation of one-third of the units.
However, it was explained that fer
very short trips. and some crowding
it would be possible to move about 50
per cent of the personnel.

River Cleanup Campaign
Pushed in Maryland.

Under the vigorous direction Of
the 1zaak Walton League, strong
pressure is being brought to bear
upon the authorities in nearby
Maryland looking to proper sewage
disposal from those areas. Some
OF the leaders in this movement
contend that there is ample au-
thority in the governing bodies of
Montgomery and Prince Georges.
Counties to proceed Immediately
with the abatement of the nuisance
to the National Capital.
In some sections of both of these
nearby counties connections could
be made with District sewers so
that the disposal could be handled
through the District system. In
other sections. where it was years
ago decided to build Independent
disposal plants, the District of Co.
lumbia Is not in position to ham
die such loads. The Districts sew
ers adjacent to such sections we're
planned and built with the belief
that such areas in Maryland would
provide their own disposal plants.
AS result of this agitation a
conference was held Friday at
Silver Spring which was attended
by the Districts director Of san
itary engineering, Maj. John Blake
Gordon. This meeting was at
tended by representative citizens
Of the two counties and promises
to produce substantial results.
There are indications that if
these adjacent communities will
definitely provide for beginning i'm
mediately either disposal plants or
connecting sewers. the Commits
sioners and Sewer Department will
seek authority for the District to
proceed with the construction of a
secondary treatment plan. While
the District Government has been
moving with caution in this matter,
civic leaders who have conferred
either with the Commissioners or
with the director of sanitary en-
g1neering are convinced that these
omcials are wide awake to their re-
sponsibilities and ready to move
vigorously at the proper time to
effect as complete a cleanup Of
the Potomac River as it is possible
for the District of Columbia to ac-
complsh.

Who Will Succeed Allen.

With September only few
days of. the President has not vet
indicated who he will appoint as
successor to Commissioner George
E. Allen. Aliens resignation. it is
understood, becomes effective the
first Of the month. but in spite Of
that fact he really holds office
until his successor is appointed

There will be little opportunity
for new incumbent in this office
to familiarize himself with the
intricacies of the District of Co.
lumbia budget prior to the be-
ginning of the citizens hearing on
September IL. OF course. if some
one is named who has been very
active in civic affairs this dis
ability will not be so pronounced.
A working knowledge of the budget
will require far longer period
than couple of weeks even to the
we'll informed.
Candidates for this office con-
tinue to be pictured and bio
graphically described by the press,
but there continues to be no indi-
cation that any Of those named
are receiving any encouragement
from the White House. Among
some of the civic leaders there has
been a hope that some unofficial
"feelers' would be put out from
the executive ofiices to get public
reaction as to various persons
under consideration. Nothing OF
the kind has occurred. There
really is nothing that organized
civic Washington can do by way
OF solving this very important civic
problem.

Peoples Counsel Salary
Yet No One Appointed.

There's another District Office,
regarded as of vital Importance to
the citizens. which has been left
untitled for several years. After
the Chief Executive had failed to
fill the vacancy in the Office of
peoples counsel, Congress for a
while omitted to appropriate salary
for the office. The salary again
became available on July !, but the
office continues to be vacant. The
ONCE of peoples counsel was Gre
ated as an important feature of the
independent Public Utilities Com
mission.
The citizens Of the District
were very insistent that this Of
fee be, created in order that they
may be properly represented at ell
times before the commission. They
continue to be sold on the IDEA that
the office is an important one.
