Other Suburban Area
Chest Leaders 10 Join
In Fund Discussions

Community Chest leaders in the
Washington suburban area today ex-
pressed willingness to meet with
Alexandria Chest representatives to
discuss campaign problems with the
Washington organization.
Luther H. Dudley, Alexandria
Chest president, is expected to ap-
point an eight-man committee to
present the Alexandria Chests
grievances to Washington officials.
This committee also is expected to
call a meeting of other suburban
area chest officials for a general
discussion of campaign problems.
According to chest officials both
in Alexandria, which is separate
from the Washington organization,
and other communities which are
part of the District Chest, the So
licitation Of funds from Government
employees in Washington who live in
nearby areas has long been a prob
lem.
John A. K. Donovan, Falls Church
attorney and president of the Fair
fax County Community Chest, said
that while Washington officials con-
tend that soliciting Government
workers at their jobs increases total
Chest contributions, it has beer
estimated that only one-eighth Of
the gross contributions of Fairfax
residents made in Washington are
returned to the community. He saio
this total includes disqualification.
Mr.. Donovan said the problem
was accentuated two years ago wher

er, stating that he would only b.
solicited once-at his Office. This
he added, certainly tended to- de.
crease contributions in the suburban
area. He said the. Fairfax Ches
would be glad to send representa-
tives to the meeting.
Clyde B. Stovall, Arlington Ches
president, also said representative
of the Arlington organization woult
probably attend the meeting. MI
Stovall said there always had beer
complaints from some persons ovel
solicitation methods, and there prob.
ably always would be.

tives If invited. Prince George.
County Chest officials were no

The Committee of 100 on the Fed
eral City is on record today in op-
position to the proposed project for
multipie-purpose dams on the Po-
tomac River unless and until such
time as the need for power becomes
so imperative" as to justify the de-
struction of present tangible and
intangible values"
Acation was taken at a meeting
yesterday at st. Johns Parish Hall,
under chairmanship of Supreme
Court Justice Owen J. Roberts.
The proposed plan for the devel-
opment of the water sources of the
basin. including food control and
hydroelectric power, has been ap-
proved by District and division Army
engineers, but awaits action of the
Army Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors, which has scheduled
public hearings to begin April 3.
Warns of U. S. Sponsorship.
Justice Roberts warned that the
proposed project is more likely to
pass under Government sponsorship
than as private enterprise. 1T is
always attractive to let the Govern
ment spend money and say that we
will get it back later" he COM
mented.
Speakers included Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant. Sd, chairman of the Park
and Planning Commission: Irving
q Pnot c,,noriptarlopt of +t,a No
tionai Capital Parks; Col. William
N. Taylor. engineer and a member
OF the Joint Committee on the Ma
tional Capital, and DR.. William B
Holton, national director of the
Izaak Walton League.
p In its resolution opposing the
project, the committee contended
the three lower dams contemplated
would flood the gorge of the Poto-
mac, destroy irreplaceable human
values, natural and historic, and de-
stroy the habitat of certain wildlife
peculiar to the region"
The committee continued it would
deprive the National Capital of a
park site OF unique character and
replace it by lakes which would be
of mediocre scenic interest, with
recreational facilities inferior to
those which are now found or may
be developed in the Potomac River
below the tide water"
Concerned Over Landmarks.
Concern further was expressed for
historic landmarks which the COM
mittee said would be flooded by
erection of the proposed dam below
Harpers Ferry.
The resolution suggested that
power requirements might be sat
isfied by the extension of other
sources" and added there was a
question as to the reasonable judg-
ment in recommending a compre-
hensive and all-embracing power
project as solution to the many
problems, social and economic, con-
tanned in the Potomac River Basin. "
Mr.. Root told the committee the
engineers report on the project
tends to overemphasize recreational
and scenic values which would be
created by reservoirs, while giving
too little emphasis to values that
would be destroyed.
Nor does the plan provide funds
for lighthouses, beaches and other
facilities which would make the
potential resources usable, he added.

Protest Meetings Set
In Shenandoah Valley

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 22(P.-Pro-
test meetings against construction
of huge dams across the Shenan-

at Fulks Run, both in Rockingham
County.
A hearing will be conducted by the

detail apd will hear objections.
A committee from Rockingham
County has been named to attend

1t is the contention of those op-
posing the project that construction
of dams will do irreparable damage
to vast areas in the farming COM
munities of the two counties affect
ed, inundate essential crop lands
disrupt community life that has
been more than a century in build

WORD FROM FRANCE

local Red Cross chapters:
so far, the Red Cross is the
only organization that I know Of
that does anything worth while for
a soldier. OF course there are
others, but I Just haven't seen or
benefited directly as from the Red
Cross, such as the time we got to
the boat We were all cold and
tired and the Red Cross was there
with hot coffee and dOughnuts. A
person remembers such, and I
think any of us would have paid at
least ten dollars for that cup Of
coffee, at that time, but it was free
to us.
"On the boat each of us got an
other package from them. This
time it was a bag such as might be
used for small articles. Enclosed
was soap candy, carton Of cis-
are tes, a book on First Aid, two
other books to read as we'll as some
other things.
