Legislation to End
Divided Control

The Senate District Committees S
investigation of the local water sys-
tenn, begun early last year. was re-
sumed late yesterday, with the an
nouncement by Chairman McCarran
of the selection of r. v. L. Wright
of the Reclamation Bureau as the
new committee investigator.
Frederick Weed, who began the
inquiry, filed a preliminary report
last September, in which he recon-
mended centralized authority over
the management of the waterworks,
now divided between the Army
Engineer Corps and the District
Water Department.
Suggested Further Study.
He suggested also that further
study be given to the equities in
volved in furnishing free water to
all Federal agencies. The entire
cost of maintaining the water serv-
ice is met by the private consumers,
although the Government uses a
substantial part of the daily con-
sumption.
Mr.. Weed left the committee in
December to return to Government
service, and Senator McCarran, who
obtained authority in January to
continue the inquiry, has been look
ing for an engineering consultant to
take up the work.
Mr.. Wright has been loaned to
the committee by the Reclamation
Bureau. A native of Virginia, he
studied mechanical engineering at
the University of Maryland, and has
had 20 years Of experience in the
organization, financing and man.
agement of both municipal and pri-
vate utilities.
Seeks Economies.
Senator McCarran launched the
investigation at a time when Dis
trict officials feared an increase in
rates to private consumers might be
necessary to finance large extensions
to the water system. Anxious to
avoid placing a heavier burden on
local water users, Senator McCarran
began a search for economies in the
operation of the system.
The preliminary report called at
tention to wastage of water in Gov
ernment buildings, as we'll as leak
age in the distribution system.
Senator McCarran has made
known his intention of drafting leg
islation when the survey is COM
pleted to end the division of control
between the Army Engineer Corps
and the District Government.

Reducing Helpful

II overweight is present, how
ever, the first step in management
is 10 attempt to reduce it. This does
not necessarily lower the blood
pressure much, but it is common
sense because weight reduction
lowers the STRAIN on the heart
muscle. Pulling $50 pounds up
stairs is more work on the heart
than pulling $50 and by just that
much, multiplied by the total
movements of the day, does weight
reduction help.
Early to bed even If not early
to rise. is another rule of manage
ment. Ten hours out of the twenty
four in bed, whether one sleeps or
not is just so many hours of relax
ing instead Of tensing all the parts
of the circulation. A nap after
lunch is also a good rule. II one
gets used to it, it will not interfere
with the sleep at night.
II not a nap, several periods OF
complete relaxation a day will do
wonders. Lying down with some
thing over the body to keep warm,
in a quiet room with no distrac-
tions, the muscles relax one by one
the neck, face, shoulder girdle,
arms and legs. Don't have the ra
do on and don't try TO read.
Eject Of Drugs
Drugs have little or no place
in the management of nigh blood
pressure. Sedatives may occasion
ally be needed, but not too often.
If the individual is accustomed to
a cocktail or hlghball before din
ner, it will do him no harm TO con-
tinue; in fact, it itself has a relax
ing effect.
Tobacco is a somewhat different
matter. 1t causes spasm of the ar
teries, and is just the opposite to
relaxing. II the individual has
been in the habit of smoking a
good deal 1t is unwise to take him
off altogether, but he should cut
down on it.
Long vacations and long week
ends are advisable. In fact, this
management would be a good plan
for nearly everybody over 55, no
matter what his blood pressure.
