Power Needs
Connection Made
With V. P. S. System
To Avert Shortages

A connection of Virginia Public
Service and Potomac Electric Power
Companies system to avert a
shortage of electric current in
the Arlington County area, has
been completed and is awaiting final
tests, the Federation of Fairfax
County Citizens Associations has
been informed by the Federal Power
Commission.
The connection has long been
urged by civic groups because of fire.
quent interruptions in service dur
ing the last several months and the
Northern Virginia Regional Defense
Council this month demanded action
after a blackout slowed production
for 81 hours in the naval torpedo
plant in Alexandria.
Leon M. Fuquay, secretary of the
F. P. c., replying to a letter from
the civic group sent by Miss Clara
M. Cherry Of Hillwood, correspond
ing secretary. said:
The Commission is glad TO In
form you that several conferences
held recently with officials of the
Virginia Public Service Co. and
the Potomac Electric Power Co. have
resulted in an agreement by the two
companies to interconnect their fa-
cilities through the facilities of the
Braddock Light and Power Co. near
Clarendon, Va"
To Use Cable Across River.
Speedy completion of the con-
nection was made possible. Mr..
Fuquay said by the use of an exist
ing reserve cable crossing Key
Bridge. and it is expected that about
1900 kilowatts can be made avail
able to the Virginia Public Service
Co. 1t was pointed out that lack Of
cable capacity will prevent obtaining
greater amounts of power.
The engineering stats of the two
utilities and the F. P. C. are now
studying the possibilities of addi-
tional cable installat tions. The en-
gineers also are considering the pos
sibility of connections between the
Virginia Public Service Co. and
other neighboring utilities.
The federation was assured that
through the efforts of the F. P. c.,
arrangements have been made for
the Virginia Electric e. Power Co. to
assist v. P. S. whenever necessary to
the limit of available transmission
facilities.
Aware of Virginia Situation.
please be assured that the Federal
Power Commission is fully cognizant
of the power situation in Northern
| Virginia and is taking all possible
steps within its jurisdiction to assure
adequate supplies of power for de.
fense purposes and to the COM
munity in general Mr.. Fuquay
wrote.
AS one of its major goals, the civic
body has worked toward some con-
nection of power facilities that would
insure electric current sufficient to
meet peak demands during the COM
ing months, and guarantee a con-
tinuity of service of quality
equivalent to that rendered similar
consumers in Maryland and the
District.

By Reducing Number

BY tire Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Nov. 2l-A
broad, six-point program of helping
released prisoners fnd jobs and re-
adjust themselves is proposed by
Gov. O'Conor to reduce rising costs
of maintaining Maryland's prison
population.
The plan, involving employment
of at least seven new officials. would
be designed to rehabilitate prisoners
while in Jail and help them after
release in order to reduce the per-
centage returned to prison for new
offenses. Gov. OConor explained.
He said the program was worked
out through conferences of Willis r.
Jones. department of correction
chairman: Parole Director Herman
Moser and prison welfare officials.
This committee declared the sig
nificance of the increase in 'prlsonI
population during the last 20 years
cannot be overemphasized. In 1920
the penal institutions were self
sustaining through the employment
and earning of inmates. By 1910
the cost of maintaining the increased
population (which it reported was
1856 persons) had reached s659,753."
Consideration for Release.
II the increase in prison popula-
ton continues at the current rate.
the committee added. maintenance
of inmates alone, excluding cost of
housing would be s1,812 900 annu-
ally by 1860 and 1886. 100 by 1880.
The six provisions in the program
are:
Issuance by the Governor of a
statement of policy that will afford
an opportunity for all deserving IN
mates in State penal institutions re-
gardless of length of sentence to be
considered for conditional release
after having served one-third of the
sentence imposed.
EMPLOYMENT of three more parole
officers, one at each State institu-
ton. to interview inmates at en-
trance, advise them of conditional
! release requirements. and help pre-
pare them for release.
Welfare Officers Urged.
Employment of a welfare and en-
ployment officer at each prison to
cooperate with the parole office,
collecting social data on each in
mate, aiding in advancing his well
fare and assisting in locating a
suitable home and employment on
his release.
Employment of a welfare and en-
ployment supervisor by the depart
ment of correction TO organize.
supervise and direct welfare activi-
ties at all penal institutions.
Arrangement by the Governor for
necessary additional assistance in
review of cases recommended for
conditional release to encourage en-
ployment of inmates and facilitate
their release promptly.
Recommendation to all State de-
partments and public agencies to
buy products Of the State Use In
dustries and use prison labor on
public works whenever feasible both
to train and give work to inmates
and for greater economy for the
using agencies.
