RIVER PURIFYING
U. S. PROBLEM,
HAzEN DECLARES
D. C. Has Done Its Part,
Official Contends

District Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen today indicated response
bility for further efforts to elimi-
nate river pollution rests squarely
on the shoulders Of the Federal
Government and neighboring
States in the Potomac watershed.
Having spent $4,000, 900 for sew
age disposal plants. which, Hazen
contends, is adequate for the needs
of the District, the District gov
ernment feels it has discharged its
own responsibility, he indicated.
Hazen said just prior to a meeting
of the Commissioners they will
not ask for addition PWA funds to
extend the Blue Plains disposal
plant.
$4,000, 900 OBTAINED
Additional funds can be OBJ
tanned for sewage disposal projects
only at the sacrifice Of othel
valuable and needed projects,
Hazen pointed out. The District
already has obtained $4,000, 900
of WPA funds, earmarked for a
Federal and District building pro-
gram and other similar projects
Since that is the Districts final
ALLEGATION, the money cannot be
diverted for other purposes with
out first having PWA Admins
TRAITOR Ickes cancel some Of the
other projects to make up the diff
ference, Hazen said.
The Potomac River cannot ;1e
cleared by a District diSposa
plant alone while Anacostia Rivel
and the upper Potomac and thei1
tributaries are not controlled
Hazen declared. Further dow
the Potomac, Alexandria, Govern
ment military posts and othe!
communities contribute their share
of pollution that is sometime!
blamed on the District, the Off
cial said.
URGES COOPERATION
Federal and State cooperation
in the matter of pollution clear
ance, is the only solution to th'
problem, Hazen indicated. Tht
District has done it's part, he con
tended.
A promise to cooperate II
every way can" to end pollution
of the Potomac River was mad
today by Senator Millard E. Iyo
lngS CD of Maryland.
In a telegram from Baltimor'
