tiers of the drive announced that 80

solicitation. The quota here is 81
100000, Nationwide it is 5000 900, 900.
Washington solicitors will give
their first progress report at 1890

Mrs. Franklin A. Harrington, also
of the speakers bureau, talked to
another civil service group earlier
today.
Pvt. Kenneth Dietz, now con-
valescing at Walter Reed Hospital

Samuel H. Kaufman, campaign
chairman. issued extra instructions
today to solicitors: In many cases"
he said, you will run up against
opposition in the form of excuses
from those who can and should give
generously. But what are these ex-
cuSes compared to the value of
services provided by the Red Cross
to armed forces abroad and at
home?"
He stressed particularly the blood
donor service.
Hundreds Being Saved.
Hundreds of our boys-this very
day-are being saved by Red Cross
blood plasma," 1t. Gen. Alexander
A. Vandegrift, commandant of the
Marine Corps, told Mr.. Kaufman
and other Red Gross workers just
before the opening of the drive.
Mr.. Kaufman also suggested
that solicitors mention to tardy
givers the statements by American
prisoners freed in the Philippines
that they could not have survived
without the Red Cross packages.
In addition, servicemen worried
about families at home have their
queries answered by the Home Serv-
ice. Clubs, canteens and clubmobiles
follow the soldiers onto the air
field, into the battlefield, on to the
docks, Mr. Kaufman added.
These activities are only a few
of the Red Cross services which can
make up your barrage of argu-
ments." he said. And if used
effectively, successful campaign
will most certainly be attained"

Water Pollution Control

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 3 CPy.-
Plans for pollution control for all of
the waters separating Maryland and
Virginia are being considered by the
two States as an extension of the
work now under way by the Inter-
state Commission on the Potomac
River Basin, Gov. Darden said yes
terday.
The Governor said he has been
comforting with Gov. O'Conor Of
Maryland on the plans. The con-
templated program, he said, does
not represent bypass OF the work
being done by the commission, but
rather an application of the plans
to additional areas.
The two States are interested in
pollution control in the Chesapeake
Bay.
Pollution in the lower reaches of
the Potomac River comes chiefly
from sewage from Washington, AL
eXandria and Arlington County. Fa-
cilities for sewage treatment at
these communities are not adequate
to care for the increased loads
caused by wartime expansion OF
population.

100 business, civic, welfare and reli-
gious leaders of the "old city" of
Southeast Washington to a confer
ence at 3:45 pm. next Thursday at
Friendship House, 4l9 D street Sc,
to lay preliminary plans for con-
sideration of future improvement
needs" of the section.
In invitations mailed today, Mrs.
William H. Wells, executive vice
president of the council, proposed
that the group consider calling a
mass meeting of persons from the
area in the very near future" to
carry forward a development pro-
gram.

sists of that part of the Southeast
section northwest of the Anacostia

posed by members of your own COM
munity," she wrote in her letter of
invitation" will be presented to the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission as guide for handling
the future needs and development
for the Southeast Old City section.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission wishes to have
recommendations from representa-
tive community groups. and a staff
member of the commission will at
tend this meeting to answer any
questions that may arise
This sectional conference, Mrs.
Wells announced, will be the first
of what she hopes will be series
of sectional conferences in other
parts of the city looking toward flu
ture improvements.
The council at its regular monthly
meeting yesterday at the YWCA
considered pending legislation, heard
reports on the recent hearings on
urban redevelopment bills and took
up problems of its own administra-
ton.
Expresses Disappointment.
Mrs Wells expressed disappoint-
ment that some of the members of
the council, who had been sched-
uled to be heard by the McCarran
Housing Subcommittee of the Sen
ate District Committee in favor of
the Capper bill, were not called on
f., +acfiYo0.ayy Cha cold che taSti i
fed at length, favoring the revised
Capper bill, but opposing the Nc
Carran measure for slum clearance.
The council, she said. now consists
of 50 organizational delegates and
alternates, delegates represent
ing individual members and 103 in
dividual members. The organlza-
tions officially affiliated with the
council. she said, have member
ship of 37,673. d.
In a supplemental statement filed
with the McCarran committee yes
terday, Mrs. Wells said: I'VE rec
ommend that the committee con-
slider additional standards in the
public interest. In order to assure
continuity in control of land by any
redevelopment corporation. land ac-
quired by land agency should be
held in perpetuity and should be
leased and not sold Wage differen-
tials between private and public
enterprise should be equalized by
payment of prevailing wages. Man.
datory control of rents should be
included and restrictive discrim-
inatory covenants should be elm
mated"
Briefly outlining the policy of the
council on redevelopment, Mrs.
Wells, after the meeting yesterday
said, I'VE feel that the job of low
cost housing must be, and can be,
done by both private and public
enterprise"

MEMORIAL IN FRANCE
FOR LOST COMRADES

The parachute infantry outfit of
which PFC. William Frickel of
Laurel is a member held a mem
orial exercise last Nov. % in France
in honor of comrades killed in ac-
ton. For the occasion a printed
program of four pages was prepared
and distributed. Private Frickel sent
his copy to his father, Dave Frickel,
who received it this week.
The first page was the title page,
and on the second was a poem, "An

body of an American soldier after
a battle in Italy. The third page

bers were america the Beautiful"

lowing by a colonel of infantry:
"For the second time in the his.

ed from combat with thinned ranks
with files left blank by those who
have joined the lengthening line of
heroes who have made the supreme
sacrifice.
"Although these recent members
of the regiment who were lost in
Holland are physically absent, they
will always be present in ranks in
spirit along with those we lost in
Normandy. They have left the reg
iment more than a name to be ar
ried on the honor roll. They served,
fought, and died CALAMITY and fear
lessly, and their history-making
deeds and accomplishments will
serve as an inspiration to us all
whenever and wherever future oper-
ations confront US.
"This morning as we hear names
read we silently salute them. In
the days to come, whether in com
bat, garrison or civilian life, we will
honor them for the heroes that they
are, and always remember the obi
cation that is now ours to keep
faith with them as they have kept
faith with us. We will keep that

Merkel Incident Is
Cause OF Interest
To Old-TimerS Here

Una Merkel, motion picture ac-
@tress, nearly died March 5 of gas
when her mother, Mrs. Arno Merkel,
60, apparently became a suicide at
their hotel apartment in New York.
The mother was found dead in the
kitchen and the actress daughter
was sleeping in a bedroom to which
the gas had penetrated. She was
revived.
Laurel interest in the affair arises
from the fact that Miss Merkel's
husband is Ronald l.. Burla, whose
father G. F. Burla was n of the
old-timers of Laurel and vicinity.
The elder Burla taught school here
and at one time was Yellowstone
county superintendent of schools.
After leaving Laurel he lived sew
eral years at Hardin and then NOV
ed to California, where he died.
The son, Ronald l.. Burla, is as
sistant to the president of North
American Aviation, Inc, ~Inglewood,
Calf.
Concern over the condition of the
actress was expressed in Los Ange-
les by Mrs. Carl Merkel, sister-in-
