Early Hearing Asked
by Mccarran on
D. {. Wafer System

Nevada, yesterday called for early
hearings on his bill to revamp the
city's hodge -podge water system.
In letter to Senator Johnston,
Democrat, Of South Carolina, who
heads the District subcommittee to
which the measure was referred,
Senator McCarran said his bill was
introduced more than II months
ago as the outgrowth OF lengthy
and comprehensive investigation of
the situation. He asked for hear
ing soon after the reconvening of
Congress" and offered to appear be-
fore the subcommittee or assist in
any other way can"
The McCarran measure would
establish a National Capital Metro
politan Water Administration to
take over the entire water system
now split between the District
which controls the distribution, and
the Federal Government, which
controls the supply.
Could Issue Bonds.
The water commission could issue
bonds and fix rates. 1t would be
headed by the Engineer Commis-
sioner. The plan would also term
mate the free water privilege of the
Federal Government.
The Commissioners. however
have opposed the establishment OF
water administration but ap-
plauded the principal Of ending the
free water privilege except fol-
churches and charitable organiza-
tions.
Setting up water administration
they said, would just add another
to the already large number OF
individual agencies"
They also objected to the bond
issue feature which would make the
administration self-sustaining and
preclude, they felt, Federal aid
They recommended instead long
term Federal loans to insure basic
financial control remaining in Con.
gress and save costs of issuing, re.
cording and retiring bonds.
Their views are being drafted into
legislative form for approval by the
Budget Bureau and will be Offered
as substitute for Senator McCar.
rams measure.
Many Features Commendable.
In his letter to Senator Johnston
Senator McCarran pointed out thai
the Commissioners had founc
many commendable features" Ii
his bill and added:
May I say that In my opinion
some of the provisions of the bill
which the Commissioners do no
now find especially commendable
they will find commendable later.
District residents pay too much
for water, he declared. Free waite
provided government departments il
partly responsible. he said, and othel
contributing causes are division o
authority over components of tn,
water system resulting in duplica
ton and overlapping, and lack o
any "clearcut" financial structur,
for use as basis for rate making.
"An attempt to cure this situation
Is certainly called for" he said, 81
Congress Is to discharge properly it
duties and obligation as the sol,
Legislative body for the District o
Columbia. --.-~-.
| Describing his measure as a "log
ical and practical approach to tn,
problem" he predicted enactmen
would result In substantial reduc
ton of water rates to private con
tsumers in the District"
| Furnishing water to city the siz,
of the District is a business, tn,
Nevada Senator concluded, "a BIZ
business and an important business
There is no reason why 1t shoul'
not be put on a business basis"

But when, ten years later, poet
Pound visited this country, he had
changed. And in 1941 he began to
broadcast criticism of the U. S. from
Rome. Nevertheless when other Amer
leans were repatriated in 1912 he tried
to join them, was prevented by the
State Department.
His attacks rose in violence In July,
1943, he was indicted by the U. S. for
treason along with seven other ex-
patriates.
This week the 65-year-old Idaho
born poet came home captive. The
years abroad had taken a toll. Ezra's
once-trim red beard was ragged and
streaked with grey. Instead of immac-
ulate linen, he wore grey sweatshirt
and had 1923 in his pocket.
AS Department of Justice agents
herded him toward a District of Co.
lumbia Jail, he said: There's a crazy
idea around here that I betrayed this
country. They've got about $50 of my
broadcast manuscripts. haven't any
earthly idea what they'll find in them"
He wanted to act as his own counsel,
finally allowed the court to appoint
one for him.
Seven Italians, former members of
the Fascist Ministry of Popular Gull
ture at Rome, were flown to Wash
ington to buttress the case against
him. They claim to have seen Pound
broadcast from Rome and Milan dur
ing the war.
A new federal Indictment for trea-
son may be sought on the basis OF
their evidence.

Jackson. The assistants voice trembled
with nervousness as he began the long
recital of plumber and horror.
But his agitation was as nothing
compared with the defendants. There
were 81 Nazis in the dock, but only 20
definitely were on trial for their lives.
Rudolf Hess, one-time Hitler deputy,
stared vacantly at the judges and &C.
casionally an impish grin played about
his sunken mouth. U. S. and British
alienists had repeatedly found him
insane but French and Soviet psy-
chiatrists were said to have felt that
Hess fading memory was ruse. His
case will be clarified before the trial
closes.
Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering
grew pale and frowned as his name
was pronounced in the indictment.
Hjalmar Schacht, former Reich
economics minister, glared defantly
at the judges.
The defendants were oddly garbed
in contrast to their Nazi heyday. They
wore simple uniforms, stripped Of
medals and insignia of rank or else
civilian suits donated from charity
stores.

ed, however, that the Japanese scould
not always avoid making mistakes
and that as the war continued and the
area of operations expanded, sooner
or later they would make a mistake
and we would enter the war;"
Richardson, at that time commander
of the Pacific Fleet, protested repeat
edly over basing the unready feet in
Hawaii. He wanted it returned to the
west coast where it could be QUILTED
for war and then, if necessary, re-
turned to Pearl Harbor. But F.D.R.
insisted, he said, on keeping the fleet
in Hawaii as deterrent to Japanese
expansion feelers in the Pacific
Shortly after, Richardson was sue
ceeded in command by Adm. Kimmel.
Kinmel did not have long to serve.
