Grams who have left the service
decorated heroes whose exploits are
written indelibly in the archives of
American valor-will be rounded up
to be honored afresh on Victory day.
There may be special sections in the
parades for these veterans. Or they
may march with their old outfits.
For example, the famed 10Th Divi-
sion-most of whose original men,
bers came from the District, Mary
land and Virginia-is being broken
up to allow hundreds of high-point
men to come home. 1t is remain

replacements made up of men with
shorter foreign service from other
divisions. The 29th, which has been
in Europe nearly three years and
fought its way from the Normandy
beachheads to the Rhine, may or
may not be available when Victory
day is held, but many of its vet

celebration which is being talked
about increasingly.
Warm Response Felt.
The Stars suggestion that the
Capital begin thinking about a
Victory day celebration and perhaps
making preliminary plans, even
though it may not be feasible to
hold it for some time, is finding
warm response on Capitol Hill,
in the executive branches of the
Government and among citizens
generally.
The end of the war in complete
victory for America and the United
Nations should be commemorated in
one huge observance, with all the
fighting men, admiral and general
and private alike, honored at the
same time, officials feel.
Leaders in both houses of Con-
gress who are beginning to gather
for the resumption of legislative
business have indorsed the plan and
probably will express their feeling

tant general of Maryland, told the
more than 1000 Legion and auxil-
larry members attending the conven-

1t is up to the American Legion to
see that events similar to those fol-
lowing the signing of the armistice
in 1918 do not recur."
Recalls Designations.
In the World War" he said, I'VE
we're called the flower of America
the year after war this designation
was changed to heroes-then we were

we had slumped to ex-servicemen.
Later we were called Treasury
raiders"

DR.. Miller Dismissed
From St. E|izabeth'5 S
BY DR.. 0verhoIser

DR.. Michael NJ Miller, volunteer
director of the Districts alcoholic
clinic, who was quoted by a news
service recently as saying "alcoho
is a major factor in Congress" anc
who also originated a system OF
mutual aid among patients at St
Elizabeth's Hospital, has left the
hospital staff at the request of DR.
Wilfred Overholser. superintendent
it was learned today. He had been
on the staff there since last october
DR.. Miller created a stormy out
burst of denials 10 days ago when
he was quoted as saying there are
alcoholics in Congress, and that al
cohol exercises most damaging
effect on legislation"
He later denied having made the
statement. and said his comment had
been there may be some drinking
there" tin Congress-. His mutual aid
program sponsored at the hospital
was among the Navy psychiatric pa
tients. He proposed that those who
were almost recovered from their
mental illness could aid other serv-
icemen in recuperating, by leading
recreational groups.
Neither Will Comment.
DR.. Overholser did not comment
on his action. and said he preferred
to make no statement on his rea
sons for asking DR.. Miller to resign
n lsa - :
for the press.
At the eighth meeting of the alco-
holic clinic last night, DR.. Miller
estimated that $50 of the 400 alco-
holics treated by the clinic thus far
are no longer problem cases.
About 60 per cent have quit drinking
altogether since their clinical treat
ment, and an additional 30 per cent
have cut their drinking down to
where it no longer presents a real
problem, he said.
Status at Clinic Undecided.
Exactly what effect DR.. Miller's
hospital dismissal will have on the
alcoholic clinic has not been decided
DR.. Miller has stated he is "vitally
interested in the problem of alco-
holic,' and would like to continue
that type of work.
d.. George H. Rutland, District
health officer, did not comment on
whether Dr. Miller would be asked
to stop his voluntary work with the
clinic. If DR.. Miller does leave the
clinic, the Health Department will
attempt to replace him, DR.. Ruhland
SAID.
The alcoholic clinic will be a part
of the job of the director of the
recently created Mental Hygiene
Clinic when that position is filled
DR.. John F.. Owen was appointed
to the position, but resigned be-
cause he said he lacked facilities
to carry on. The alcoholic clinic
then was organized on a voluntary
basis.
DR.. Rutland said that DR.. Miller
was not being considered for the
job as director of the mental hy-
giene clinic. Dr. Rutland would not
comment on whether DR.. Miller
would be offered a job in the new
mental hygiene clinic in some ca
pacity other than director.
Until we get man to head the
clinic I cannot say who will be
asked to serve under him." Dr.. Ruh-
land said.
The only other positions available
in the clinic for psychiatrists are
part time jobs, he said.

Final Arguments
Heard in Laurel
Pollution Suit
Counsel Says Future
Water Supply Is
Menoced by SIudge

Testimony in an injunction suit by
the Laurel Mayor and City Council
against the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission was being
studied today by Judge Charles C.
Marbury, who heard final arguments
In the case yesterday in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court at
Upper Marlboro.
In their suit, the Mayor and coun-
ell seek to prohibit the commission
from discharging sludge and waste
water from its Willis School filtra-
ton plant at Laurel into Walker
Branch and the Patuxent River.
They claim that continuation of
the discharge would be disastrous"
to the future water supply of the
municipality, which intends to con-
struct filtration plant just below
the confluence of Walker Branch
and the Patuxent.
Figures on Discharge.
In his argument, Charles C. G.
Evans, attorney for the mayor and
council, declared that the commits
sion plans to discharge more than
86 900 cubic feet of mud and sludge
from its plant every five months,
and that this would render the
branch unfit as source of water
supply
According to the defendant S
own records, the average turbidity
of the Patuxent River Is 70 parts
of silt per million parts of water"
Mr.. Evans said Contrast that with
the average turbidity of lot 900 parts
of silt per million parts of water in
the material discharged from the
commissions filtration plant April
25"
He also attacked testimony by
DR.. Abel Wolman, Baltimore sani-
tary engineer, who had contended
that operation of the commission S
plant would have no effect on the
future water supply of the town.
DIR Wolman's testimony, in the
face of statements by residents liv-
ing along the branch that the dis
charge April 25 resulted in the de-
posit of coating OF mud and slime
along the banks was inconsistent,
inaccurate, exaggerated and not
worth a thing" Mr.. Evans asserted
Duckett Assails Claims.
Denying that operation of the FL
tration plant would polluta the two
streams, T. Howard Duckett, attor-
ney for the commission, claimed
that DR.. Wolmans testimony should
be given full faith and credit" since
the witness was nationally known
as an expert in his field.
While admitting that the town
has acquired several lots along the
PatuXent below Walker Branch, with
the announced intention of con-
verting them into a park, Mr.. Duck
EFT said the suit was premature"
with reference to any effect on the
property by the discharge. 80
I'VE don't know what effect the
discharge will have on land along
the Patuxent, since there has been
only one discharge since the plant
was built in July, 1914 Mr.. Duckett
said. after all, Dr. Wolman, an
uninterested witness, told the court
it would have no effect and no at
tempt was made by opposing counsel
to question his testimony while he
was on the stand"

Manor Park Citizens
Oppose Zone Change
For TeIevision Towers

Amendment of District coming
regulations to permit erection of
antennae towers in residential areas
for television and frequency modu-
lation broadcasting was opposed
last night by the Manor Park Cit
liens Association.
Opposition was voted despite in
dorsement of the proposal by the
Federation of Citizens Associations
last Saturday. Chief reason cited
was that the plan would threaten
established property values. Towers
located in residential areas also
would be "unsightly" and danger
GUS to the safety of persons and
property in time of storms, 1t was
asserted.
The group urged the towers be
erected in areas outside the District,
declaring such facilities would be
adequate. Under the proposed
amendments, the Zoning Commits
sion would be empowered to hold
hearings to decide where the towers
should be located. Residents would
have the right to testify at such
hearings.
A tie vote on the question was de-
cided by the president, James T.
Scott. The action was introduced
by T. w. Buckley.
Mr.. Scott expressed hope that the
current inquiry into conditions in
District institutions for hayward
children would bring concrete re-
suits. He also criticized recent leg
islation promoting superintendent of
police, Maj. Edward j. Kelly, to col
onel. declaring Congress disregard
ed the expressed wishes of the cit
liens of the District"
Officers elected for next year were
the following: Mr.. Scott, president;
Wade E. Graninger, first vice pres
ident; John Smoot, second vice
president; George A. Corbin, record
ing secretary; Mrs. Walter Ward,
corresponding secretary; Mr.. Buck

except Mr.. Graninger were re-
elected.

State Agricultural Official
Warns Damage to Crops

BUDS OPENING

Should the unseasonably. warm
weather of the past few days con-
tinue for several more days and be
followed by prolonged cold spell
there is possibility that consid-
cradle damage may result to the
fruit trees in lower Delaware, ac-
cording to an official of the State
Board of Agriculture. Reports re-
ceived at the offices of the board
indicate that the fruit trees,
peaches especially, have advanced
rapidly during the warm weather.
Walker l.. Mifflin, president of the
board, who operates some or
chards near Dover, indicated that
an examination of his peach or
chard revealed some buds very
close to breaking through. He said
he was considerably concerned
over the kind of weather in store
for us. There were also some in
dications that strawberry plants
were advancing rapidly during the
warm weather. It was noted also
that the shade trees on the streets
of Smyrna are beginning to show
formation of leaves.
