Washington'c Irish were split into
two camps today.
The United Irish Societies of
washington, claiming TO represent
5000 descendants OF the Emerald
Isle, made public a strongly worded
resolution adopted at a session yes
terday In the Mayflower Hotel.
Their manifesto, appealing To sim
pie justice and decency," denounced
those who would try to influence"
the Irish government to abandon
Its present stand OF strict neutrality
In the war.
The resolution did not say 80, but
James r. Mccarthy, chairman, told
the press that the blast could be
directed at "only one organization"
the American-Irish Defense Asso-
citation.
The local body of this associa-
ton, formed three weeks ago with
the object of supporting President
Rooeevelt's foreign policy Ito the
very limit" had a meeting of It's
own last night In the home of
Rosa Downing. chairman. Mr..
Downing was asked to comment
this morning on the denunciation
directed at his organization.
They don't know what they are
talking about" he said.
He reported that the defense
group had heard last night an ad-
dress by James T. Tumulty. national
secretary OF the organization, in
which 1t was made clear that
Ireland can paddle her own canoe
and do what she wants, as far as
we are concerned"
Mr.. Downing said his "fast-grow-
ing" group is interested only in
American efforts to whip the Nazis
and what Fire does is her own busi-
ness. He said that as a matter O!
fact 1t is his private opinion that
Ireland is wise to keep out of the
scrap at this time.
This statement left the issue some
what in confusion, especially since
Mr.. Mccarthy averred today that
his older group is also backing the
United States in any action it may
take.

Housing
Continued From First Page J

progress has been made by working
through nine governmental agencies
than by having one agency try to
do all the housing.
Senator Hatch, Democrat. of New
Mexico said the committee would
hear Co-ordinator Palmer next
week.
After bringing out that to operate
the dormltories in san Diego the
works agency had to employ a
housekeeper and perform the regu-
lar services necessary to dormitory
operation, Senator Hatch asked if
that was not equivalent to going into
the hotel business.
Alan Johnstone, counsel of the
Federal Works Agency, said that.
while Congress spoke of family
dwelling units" throughout the En-
abling Act, the San Diego dormi-
tories were so built as to be convert
ible into family units by changes
in partitions when no longer needed
in an emergency by single men.

Mr.. Carmody admitted, in re-
sponse to questions by Committee
Counsel Fulton, that it was a mis-
take to try to make a slum clearance
project in Boston available for de-
fense workers at Quincy, 9 miles
away. According to Mr.. Fulton,
only 200 out of $40 housing units
there were taken by the defense
workers, the remainder being occu-
pied by others.
Mr.. Carmody said he had believed
from the start that the Boston pro-
posals were "preposterous sugges-
tions."
Il don't yet see the business sense
of doing what was done" he testi-
fed, land I believe I'm the only one
who has said publicly that it was a
mistake, except perhaps the workers
themselves who were supposed to
benefit"

Early End Of Drought
Unlikely in Dc Area
Forecaster Says
Brief Showers Only
Outlook; Forms Suffer
As Shallow Wells Fail

Washington, Virginia and Mary
laud could expect little relief today,
according to officials, as the worst
drought conditions In Z decade
brought parched crops, a drying up
of wells and lowering of municipal
water supplies.
Occasional brief showers" was the
Weather Bureaus prediction for the
area. which, in some cases, is almost
IS per cent short Of its normal rain
fall. Somewhat warmer was seen
for some portions.
A heavy blanket Of fog which
hung over Washington and nearly
the entire Eastern seaboard ham
pered early air travel. Several
morning flights were Cancelled at the
National Airport, but a return to
normal operations was expected dur
ing the afternoon as the mist
gradually lifted. The airport weather
station reported a ceiling of about
300 feet and visibility of about 8
miles shortly before noon.
d. c. Water Supply Ample.
The Washington water supply
from the Potomac River is one of
the few in this area providing an
abundance. A. H. Horton, official
OF the Middle Atlantic district of the
water resources branch, Geological
Survey, said there was five times as
much water flowing in the Potomac
as was being used.
The greatest sufferers are the
farmers. The Associated Press re.
ported that numerous small wells
and springs have dried up through.
out the rural areas of the neighbor-
ing States. Many farmers have been
forced to haul water to their live
stock, which usually drink in
streams that now are ribbons OF
dust. Some are planning to deep
en- their wells unless relief comes
soon.
Harry r. Hall, chief engineer of
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission. said that the
"muggy" weather is helping re-
duce water consumption. The COM
mission has appealed to consumers
to avoid waste and to cease water
ing lawns.
A leading Washington pump and
well company reported that hun
dreds OF surface wells in the area
are fast drying up. These are hand
dug wells from Is to 80 feet deep.
Especially in Maryland-through
Montgomery, Prince Georges.
Charles and ST. Marys Counties-
were the shallow wells failing, 1t
was said.
Deep Wells Still Flow.
In the deep-water wells-both ar
tesian and rock-there has been
some lowering OF water but no fail
ures, the well firm oficial stated.
These wells run from 100 to 800
feet in depth.
Far Western Maryland. around
Cumberland, has gone without rain
for 30 days. Other parts Of the
State, including the Eastern Shore.
have received no moisture for more
than 20 days.
In Western Maryland, farmers
are unable to plant winter wheat
the ground is too dry. Calvert
County farmers have lost their fall
seedlings Of clover and vetch.
Burned pasture lands and dam
aged crops likewise were reported
in Virginia. Rainfall In the State
