Potomac Power Plan
Based on Potential
.N-Year Needs

Maximum use would be made of
the power generated by IA proposed
dams in the Potomac River basin
by 1865, in. the opinion of Federal
Power Commission engineers who
made study in connection with
the suggested War Department
project for five-State development
of the Potomac and its tributaries,
it was learned yesterday.
This so-called power marketing"
report, which is described as repre-
senting principally the engineers
evaluation of the potential growth
of the area, will not be made public
until it is incorporated in the report
on the entire project which the
War Department ultimately sends
to Congress. A spokesman for the
department thought this probably
would be by fall.
In a survey report of the War
Department District Engineer out
lining the scope of the develop
ment of the proposed dams, and in
the recent announcement of the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harmors covering the forthcoming
public hearing-set for April 3-
this statement was made on power
consumption:
Based on reports of the Federal
Power Commission, the electrical
output from the proposed projects
would be absorbed in the reason
ably near future by the growing
need for additional electric generat-
ing capacity in the important in
dustrial areas contiguous to the Po-
tomac River BASIN"
Elsewhere, the District Engineer
who estimated the annual average
benefits from water power at $14,-
345 900, said that the electrical en-
ergy would be sold to contiguous
market areas in the vicinity of Phil
adelphia. Baltimore and Washing
ton, and in the Potomac River
Basin"
While neither the War Depart
ment nor FPC would discuss the
power-marketing report except in
general terms, 1t was said that it
anticipated maximum use of the
proposed output from the IA dams in
20 years. This would coincide with
the time, over which, according to
the District engineers estimate, the
installation of the IA units should
be spread.
The Power Commission forecast, 1t
was said, was based on the "econom-
les" of the area stretching from
Southern Pennsylvania, through
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland
and the District. The estimated cost
Of the IA reservoirs is $235, ,00O, 600,
and in addition to power, the devel-
opment would provide for flood con-
troll, water supply, pollution abate-
ment, highway facilities, recreation
and navigation.
It is the theory of engineers at
tempting to deal with area Develop
ment potentialities that the intro
duction of cheap" power will
stimulate both industrial and agri-
cultural expansion: that this in turn
will create demand for more power
and lead to further expansion and
that this process will continue until
the possibilities of the region are
fully realized.
One official lkened 1t to the Ten
nessee Valley development.

Representative Robertson, Demo-
crat. of Virginia as to why the Army
engineers now had spent thousands
of dollars on = power survey on

Alexandra Names
Group 10 Confer With
d. {. on Chest Fund

Luther H. Dudley, president of the
Alexandria Community Chest, has
announced appointment of a COM
mittee to confer with the Board of
Trustees of the Washington Com
munity Chest in an effort to come
to some agreement on contributions
OF Government workers who live in
Alexandria and are solicited in their
offices. The committee will hold
dinner meeting Thursday at the
George Mason Hotel.
In addition to Mr. Dudley, who will
serve ex-offlcio, the committee in
cludes Representative Smith, Mayor
William T. Wilkins. Mrs. Carl A.
Spaatz, Albert Smoot, vice president
of the Community Chest; j. Paul
Tribes, treasurer of the Chest and
director of the 1945 campaign; David
c. Book, president of the. Chest in
1914: Francis H. Fannon, campaign
chairman in 1943: Gardner l..
Boothe and Joseph Leverenz of the
Red Cross Eastern Area head
quarters staff.
A committee of prominent resi-
dents and representatives of civic
organizations met last week and
voted to take immediate action to
assure Alexandria S reaching its
quota in the 1916 campaign. At
that time it was suggested that rep
resentatives of other Chests in the
Metropolitan Area be invited to con-
fer with Alexandria officials on COM
mon problems, since the meeting
was told these groups were not
wholly satisfied with their relations
with the Washington Chest.
Withdrew in 194l.
In 194l Alexandria broke away
from the Washington Chest and has
since conducted its own campaigns.
1t has fallen short of its quota, Alex
andria officials declare, because of
the pressure put on Alexandrians
working in Government Offices to
contribute to the Washington Chest.
1t was pointed out that during
the last campaign Alexandria, S pay
ment to the Virginia War Fund was
set at $685. 900 by State officials, max
ing it necessary to set the city S
quota for the campaign at $4,000.
Collections of only $4,000 were
realized, making it necessary to ask
the Virginia War Fund to accept a
settlement of $4,000 in addition to
cutting the budgets of Alexandria's
II participating agencies.
Chest officials say it has been esti-
mated that IS per cent of Alexan-
dria's residents are employed in
Government offices, and that with
these contributions going to the
Washington Chest, it Is almost i'm
possible to raise the quota from
residents who work in Alexandria.
At the time Of the campaign, Al
exandria Chest officials said they
were informed that only the pledge
cards of the Washington Chest
would be recognized in the Alexan-
dria Naval Torpedo Station. Al
though the donations Of Alexandria
residents employed at the station
were returned to the Alexandria
Chest, officials added. they could in
no way balance the large sums
given in Washington by residents
of Alexandria.
The Alexandria Chest also has
been unable, spokesmen said, to
maintain its branches of other ma
tional organizations according to
the standards set by the national
Offices.
Among these, they said, the Boy

entire states fiscal picture was
completed, He said he wanted to
make it plain that any new
taxes were raised to aid the
cities and not the state. Kelly
has opposed giving the cities a
share of sales tax funds and
suggested new sources of reve-
nue., including the liquor tax.
Some of the RS
friends implied that Kelly
feared a major revision of the
intangible tax would be impos-
sible if the beer and liquor taxes
passed, and was seeking to delay
them for that reason only.
Rep. Louis H. Freye, Muske-
gon Republican, said he had
been elected chairman of a
"bloc" within the Republican
ranks to force action sought by
the cities, but he denied vigor-
ously that the Republican insur-
gents had actually formed a Goa
lition with the Democrats.
WITH MAJORITY
die conceded there was a pos
sibility of such a union if the
cities pleas were not needed,
but insisted the bloc's goal was
TO work with the Republican
majority, not against it. He said
he had taken the Craftsmanship
only to avert such a rash" Goa
lition.
A compromise bill to appro-
pirate $4,000, 900 from the
state general fund to the cities,
villages and townships on
population basis was released
from the House general taxation
committee and promptly shunt-
ed into the House ways and
means committee. Freye said
members of that committee
promised TO give it fair consid-
Grafton. The townships share of
the money could be used only
for streets and road purposes,
as the bill now stands.

this plan, but has made no COM
mitments as TO how it should be
financed. Rep.

Cove nor Kelly was accused OF
SAX trying his suggested liquor
tax, and tempers boiled over
under the capitol dome today as
IL weeks of pressure by local
communities for a bigger share
of the states bullying treasury
funds neared its climax.
The spark TO the uproar came
from reports that Mayor George
w. Welsh of Grand Rapids was
attempting to organize a "coali-
ton" of House Democrats and
urban Republicans TO force the
state TO give the cities Sl5,00O,-
900 from the general fund.
Senator George N. Higgins,
Ferndale Republican, after a
stormy session with Kelly,
walked out of the capitol in a
rage, telling neWsmen the gov
ernor had encouraged him to Sc
cure passage of a new 10 per
cent liquor tax, then had Dr.
dered the bill stalled in the
House.

got it through the Senate, had
arrangements made to report 1t
out of committee in the House
Wednesday, and then Kelly
sends word in to the committee
to hold on to it,"
Higgins said his first reaction
to the governors move was to
ask the Senate to send back to
committee a companion bill to
increase the beer tax so cents
per barrel. The two would raise
about $l2, 900, 900 a year in new
income, all earmarked for the
cities. Higgins said he was dis
suaded by his friends and went
