Some choice sea-going language
toned down considerably when stran-
gers approached-filled the air around
the Lincoln Memorial Rejecting Pool
yesterday.
Eddies (not to be confused with
Joes. Harrys, etc. were responsible.
They swirled and dipped and did
whatever else eddies do and made
sailing yacht more than a night
mare.
Not a regular yacht-that's easy,
50 somebody said-but model yacht
One about feet long, with a 7-foot
mast. That's hard, and nobody has
to say it.
There were nine Of them tossing on
the man-made lake on the Mall and
for each there was . skipper and
mate. They had red sails, blue sails,
white sails and tan sails. All kinds
Of keels, intricate shrouds, bafIiing
rudder arrangements. The yachts,
not the skippers and mates.
Racing for Championship.
They were there to race for the
Eastern division championship of the
Model Yacht Racing Association Of
America and did. But the eddies, un-
welcomed though not unheard Of,
tried to make battle royal out of it.
In pairs the yachts were showed off
at one end of the pool. 1t was q
round-robin affair, with each yacht
engaging every other one in heats,
and with two runs-one with the wind
and one against-to a heat.
A, sleek Job with red silk crepe
sails started of as fast as a man
can run. 1t opened l00-length gap
between the opposing model In no
time. Then 1t met an eddy. Just
like a personal introduction to a
catastrophe.
Red Sails broke for the side, swung
about and headed for the other side.
Then tore for the launching point,
completely reversing its field.
Painful for the Sailors.
Red Sails skipper and mate gulped
and watched helplessly, then shouted
instructions to each other-how to
adjust the sails-in case Red Sails
came within reach.
Finally Red Sails Strengthened out,
shook off the eddy, and touched the
right base Smiles replaced frowns
on the faces Of the skipper and mate
and they had only nice things to say
about the finish.
Such problems do the men whose
hobby Is model yacht racing have to
contend with. It's a serious sport with
them and spectators take it seriously,
too.
But a day like yesterday isn't fair
to model yachts, with shifting breezes
toying with the boats Today, when
the races resume, the yachtsmen hope
for better luck.

a food shortage in the citys three

dissipated when pickets waved food

Of bridges, tunnels and ferry entrances.

of the Strikers Rank and File Com

They may have to 60 naked. That's

Quiet prevailed on the strike front
tonight as Acting Mayor Newbold

resentatives of the International
Teamsters' Union in an attempt to
settle the dispute, which grew out Of
a demand for higher wages and fewer
hours.
Morris Pladges Food.
Earlier, Mr.. Morris announced that
police would man trucks IF necessary"
to prevent the city from tightening its
belt.
Throughout the day, strike pickets
falted hundreds Of trucks from New
Jersey and other Eastern States.
Strike spokesmen said, however, that
all perishable foods were permitted to
pass the picket lines. as we'll as news

Drivers of trucks carrying nom
perishable cargo either abandoned
their machines, choking several streets
IN the vicinity of the Holland Tunnel,
or turned back to the Jersey shore.

Oficials of the medical profession
actively opposed the $3.50. 900 900 tax
paid national health program sug-
sested at the National Heslth Confer
ence In July.
Today, however, the delegates de-
clared: I'VE advocate recognition OF the
principle that the complete care Of
the INDECENT is q responsibility Of the
community. the medical and allied pro-
fessiops, and that such care should be
organized by local governmental units
and supported by tax funds"
They added that each State should
develop q system to fulfill the recon-
mendations Of the National Health
Conference when 1t declared that "the
role Of the Federal Government should
be principally that Of giving financial
and technical aid to the States"
Hospital service insurance should be
expanded "along sound lines," the
delegates said, suggesting it is partic-
ularly adaptable as community prof.
ect under which great many small
cities and towns could obtain the
benefits OF q hospital. Many church,
fraternal, and voluntary hospitals
would be assured OF maintenance, they
added, II the cost of care Of the med

from State or Federal tax funds.
Urge Local Responsibility.
The care of the sick in any COM
munity Is primarily local problem to
be dealt with by the local medical
society, relief authorities. and similar
agencies, one recommendation OF the
House of Delegates said. It urged each
local society to develop appropriate
means to meet local requirements"
calling in the assistance of State and
Federal organizations If such action
becomes necessary.

and the waste material collected is

River Held Nuisance.
The suit alleges further, according
to Attorney Handwerk. that the sew
age in raw and untreated state" is
dumped and allowed to flow uncon-
t<olled out Of Maryland by means Of
the Anacostia River into the waters
Of the District Of Columbia, and by
so doing, defiles, pollutes and poisons"
the waters.
There is no effort made on the
part Of either of the defendant groups
to protect or guard the health of
the residents and taxpayers of the
District Of Columbia" according to
the suit, Mr.. Handwerk said.
The action of the defendants, Mr..
Handwerk said the suit alleged, causes
the river Ito be source of disease
and a menace" and rs a general
nuisance" He said the suit declares
further that dumping of the waste
materials "inflicts serious, permanent
and continuous hazard, injury and
loss to said owners of adjacent prop
erty" of the Anacostia River, its tribu-
taries and branches.
Case Of Disease Cited.
But for the acts Of the defendants,
Mr.. HandWerk said the suit points
out, the Aancostia River would be
pure and unadulterated," the District
OF Columbia having heretofore built
a treatment plant below the intersec-
ton of the Anacostia River" which
would keep the river free from sanitary
waste and unpolluted.
In the case of the plaintiff. Thomas
Wise, Mr.. Handwerk said the suit
alleges that during the summer of
1887 the youth contracted typhoid
fever after wading in branch of the
Anacostla River as result of the
said pollution and unsanitary condi-
tions of the waters"
1T also is contended in the suit"
Mr.. Handwerk asserted, that the
Anacostia River in the District of
Columbia and its waters in their
natural state prior to being converted
into an open sewer by aforesaid acts of
the defendants was an asset and
furnished water for drinking, rec
reation, bathing, fishing and many
other uses"
The defendants have full knowledge
OF the injuries and wrongs committed
BY them on the residents of the Dis
trict, according to the suit. Mr.. Hand
werk declared, and though they could
and should correct such conditions
they have failed and refused to
remedy" the situation.
The suit asks also that the pre-.
liminary injunction be made perma-
nent on final hearing. Attorney De
Witt Harry is associated with Mr..
Handwerk in the case.
