Sanitary Commission
Upheld by Court in
Laurel Pollution Suit

A suit by the Laurel Mayor and
City Council seeking to enjoin the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission from dischargine
sludge and waste water from its
Willis School filtration plant at
Laurel into Walker Branch and the
PatuXent River has been decided
in favor of the commission.
In ruling issued yesterday
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court Judge Charles c. Marbury
said the municipality "is not enti-
tied to any relief in equity" from
the defendant.
Judge Marbury also ordered that
a temporary restraining order is
sued against the commission last
February, prohibiting it from pro-
ceeding with the condemnation of
riparian rights" of certain proper
ties along Walker Branch, be re-
scinded. The commission had in
stituted the proceedings in an at
tempt to obtain rights of way for
the flow of its waste water from
the filtration plant.
Contention of Council.
The Mayor and Council had con-
tended in the suit that continual
ton of the discharge would be dis
astrous" to the future water sup
ply of the municipality. Charles
G. G. Evans, attorney for the plain
tiff, said the town intended to con-
struct filtration plant just below
the confluence of the Walker
Branch and the Patuxent River.
He also had claimed that the dis
charge from khe commissions fl
tration plant created odors and de-
posted organic matter of an un-
healthful nature along Walker
Branch, thus creating a hazard to
the health of the towns people.
In addition, he said the town had
obtained land along the Patuxent
Immediately below Walker Branch
which it intended to convert into
a park and that the discharge of
waste would interfere with the
towns use of these properties for
that purpose.
In his ruling. Judge Marbury de-
clared there is not a bit of evil
dence in the case conclusively
showing that the sludge deposited
on the stream banks had caused,
or is likely to cause, illness to the
inhabitants of the town.
Points to Act of 1887.
"As a whole, the evidence does
not indicate that the discharge
can materially effect the
health conditions within the town,
unless possibly the town should
persist in constructing its munich
pal dam and intake below the con-
fuence of Walker Branch and the
Patuxent River"
Judge Marbury pointed out that
the town could avoid the effect of
the commissions discharge Of
waste water into Walker Branch by
placing it above the confluence OF
the two streams, as proposed by
engineers in 1925.
Judge Marbury also asserted that
although an act passed by the Leg
islature in 1887 permitted Laurel
to obtain water from the commits
sion's facilities at cost, no serious
effort" has been made by the mu-
nicipality to avail itself of this
source of supply. He added that
the town probably could obtain its
required water supply from the
commission cheaper than it could
by building and maintaining its
own independent plant.

Edgar Il. Mo1Vrer
LEADS Discussion
ON Security Plan
Bv Catherine X. HambIey

That the international security
organization needs publicity pro-
gram was the view expressed last
night by Edgar A. Mowrer, Pulitzer
prize winner and columnist, at a.
meeting Of the Women's Action
Committee for Victory and Lasting
Peace in Pierce Hall.
He spoke on panel with Harry
White, originator of Breton Woods
proposals for world bank and in
ternational monetary fund, and
Prof. Pitman Potter, professor of
international law at American Uni
versity.
Mr.. Mowrer explained that If
recommendations to the general
assembly of the international organ
ization were to bear weight they
would have Ito be kept in the pub
lie eye" His explanation followed
an address by Dr. Helen D. Reid,
consultant representing the Amer
lean Association of University
Women at the San Francisco Con-
ference, in which she pointed out
that a conference achievement was
giving major status to the Economic
and Social Council for guaranteeing
human rights to all peoples.
Mr.. White asserted the council
had power to make recommendation
to the general assembly and toI
member governments Of the organ
ization. However, Mr.. MoWrer re-
called that in 1888 a report on food
was published by the League OF
Nations but that no action what
soever was taken. The Treasury
Department official, Mr.. White, ex-
planned that the council had powers
to see that reports did not get stalled
in assembly and that interested
member governments were given
opportunity to bring pressure to bear
on the assembly to take action.
The Treasury assistant also ex-
pressed the hope that in time the
organization would acquire such
prestige that its reports on private
organizations would have meaning
and that such organizations would
strive for a favorable report. His

Mr.. Mowrer, who presided, in which
he asked to what extent the success
of the international organization
would depend on financial sup
ports" from individual agencies such
as banks, etc. In reply Mr. White
expressed the view that to have
world prosperity there should be
degree of coordination between ma
tional and private efforts. with the
international organization making
recommendations to concerns.
Prot. Potter averred there was
too big a gap between the official
organ for international security and
the general public. He suggested
the possibility Of nations electing
their delegates to bring the or
ganization closer to the people.
In answer to a query from
coed, Mr.. Potter said the method
of trusteeship is an improvement
