Eddie Udelowitz Deflates City Administration Trial Balloons on Bond Issue - Declares No Dam Needed at Morris - Trade School Plan
 Should Be Passed Up for Present.

pull out their piece. But our sen- ators apparently are not very good at that stuff, for what they pulled out is a lean and scrawny piece of pork. It sums up something like this. :The state is willing to pro- vide a trade school if the city will put up 8 building to cost about $250, 900 and also provide about $25, 900 a year to maintain 1t. The state board of education is snooty about the matter. It will not al- low the school to be established in a factory building. The ques- ton suggests itself, why couldn't the city operate the school itself. since 1t is going to pay the freight? Beside the vacant factory space that could be leased for a Ilorn- ilal sum, there are two or three schools that are closed. And last but not least, there is the tSola- ton hospital that is being rented out for a measly $125 a month. And another question suggests it. self. Where is the proposed school going to get its apprentice stu dents from? At the present time the factories are grabbing up all
 prospective apprentices and giy- ing them good pay. And it would require great amount of op- timisln to believe that these pros- pective apprentices would pass up good paying jobs in the factories to attend the trade school. It ap- pears to me that all the city will acquire from the proposition is an addition to its collection of white elephants. Well, we have 8 large enough collection already. And my suggestion is that we pass it up and wait until better prop osition is offered us.

Emergency Water Needs

A House subcommittee heard teSti-
mony yesterday which should clinch
arguments against the already dis
credited and thoroughly unSOund
suggestion of the District Water De-
partment that emergency enlarge
ment and improvement of the local
water system be financed by raising
water rates and decreasing minimum
allowances for metered water. In
supporting a request Of the District
Commissioners for an allotment Of
81, ,102, $50 from defense funds for
the District water plant, Colonel Will
liam J. Barden. United States Engi-
neer Officer for this district, told the
Hunter subcommittee of the House
District Committee of the enormous
strain which has been put upon the
local system recently by vastly in
creased Federal demands for water.
The new War Department Build
ing in Arlington, for example, will
consume more water than any other
Federal building in Washington or
vicinity. This water must be sup
piled through large direct line
which is to be carried across the
Potomac River and tapped into the
Washington supply. All Of this water
is to be given to the Federal Govern
ment free of Charge-juSt as all other
Federal buildings and parks are sup
piled gratis under existing arrange
ments. To supply this quantity
of free water will require extensive
and expensive improvements to the
Dalecarlia plant, which furnishes
water to all Of Arlington County and
the higher areas of the District. New
Dalecarlia filters and pumps neces-
STATED by the War Department prof.
ect will cost nearly $60O,0OO In addi-
ton, nearly $500,000 must be in
vested in the Anacostia section,
chiefly because of defense needs.
One project scheduled Immediately is
a thirty-inCh main to supply Boiling
Field, the Naval Air Station, the
Naval Research Laboratory and the
naval housing community at Belle
vue.
1t would be palpably unfair to
raise the water rates of WaShington's
houSeholderS and other private con-
sume.S in order to pay for the in
creased services required by the
National Government. The capital
outlayS involved in the improvements
cited are proper charges against the
Federal Treasury and Congress
should recognize them as such by
allocating adequate defense funds
for the Water Department projects.

The Keurny Name

A whole dynasty of great Ameri-
cans is Commemorated by the U. S.. S.
Kearny.
The destroyer which has become
famous for its battle with a German
submarine wolf-pack on October Is
was intended to pay special homage
to particular member of the family,
but indirectly it recalls his distin-
guiShed kinSmen also.
Commodore Lawrence Kearny was
a son of Michael and Elizabeth
Kearny, born at Perth Amboy, New
Jersey, November 80, 1889. His
mother was half-sister of the heroic
commander of the Chesapeake whose
dying words-"Don't give up the
p~-remain a rallying cry of the
Navy to this present hour.
Brought up in tradition of in
stinctive patriotism, young Lawrence
was appointed a midshipman in 1907
and was commissioned lieutenant in
1913. During the second struggle
with Great Britain, he commanded
successively the schooners Caroline,
Ferret and Nonsuch. Later, he cam
paigned against pirates in the Carib-
bean and, in 1922, raided and demol-
iShed a corsair rendezvous at Cape
Antonio, Cuba. His achievements
earned for him still more important
assignment-the conveying of Amer
ican vessels in the Mediterranean,
then infested by Greek highwaymen
of the sea. In a little over two
months he took seven craft from
pirate crews and, the record quantity
says, recovered much stolen
property"
With the rank of captain, Kearny
