Dr.. WoImun Cites Weaknesses
In Potomac Development Plans
NutionuI Reviewing
Agency Held Needed
To Expedite Work
Last of a SeriesJ.
By Jomes BirehfieId

The development OF the Potomac
River basin is a job that cannot be
done In day, nor wholly with any
agency-either State or Federal
now in existence.
The Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin, a group
formed by compact between the
Potomac River States and the Fed
eral Government. has 80 far taken
the lead in planning the rivers de-
|velopment. The commission, while
collecting data and acting in an adj
visory capacity, also is stimulating
the formation of regional planning
groups. One of these, the Upper
Potomac River Board, already has
contributed greatly in the Savage
River dam project and In other
pollution abatement programs in
the upper Potomac Valley.
A similar planning group is soon
to be organized in the Washington
AREA, and commission representa-
tives believe other groups will be
formed In areas throughout the
basin.
Weak Spot in Development.
While the Potomac Commission
may assist In making plans for the
Potomac,s development, 1t is without
administrative powers to carry cut
specific projects. This is felt by
many observers to be weak spot
in the compact method of q river
basin development.
DR.. Abel WoIman Of Johns Hop
kins University. a member Of the
Maryland Commission on Postwar
Reconstruction and Development,
recently pointed out the difficulties
facing river-basin development un-l
der existing State and Federal agen-
cies,g and advised that the creation
of national reviewing agency
might serve to expedite waterway
development.
Pointing to the numerous State
and Federal agencies that have a
part in planning river development
and the present difficulties of co-or-
dinating the work Of these agencies,
DR.. Wolman said:
"1f the central problem Of integra-
ton were adequately solved, many
Of the interagency battles and
many of the State Federal contro-
versies could be adequately resolved.
A reviewing agency whose sole prob
lem is to provide forum for State
and Federal voices would do much
to formulate the machinery to make
these successes possible. Such CO.
ordinating body must include State
and private representation. The ne
cessity for Federal representation is,
of course, obvious.
IntegratiOn Held Vital.
until such an. agency has been
created there is little hope of having
vast undertakings Of completely
comprehensive character adequately
prepared and reconciled so that
the interests of the States have been
fairly protected and the programs
Of competing agencies have been
logically resolved.
voluntary coordination on the
part of well-intentioned groups Is
not substitute for everything Co
ordination and integration by a
group which will not benefit by the
results or which will not be engaged
in the final execution of the pro-
gram"
On the State level. DR.. Wolman
continued, States given the oppor-
tunity to participate In such discus
sions between other States and the
Federal Government have an obli-
CATION to provide themselves with
the highest quality OF technical ad-
vice in order to meet and argue their

Parole Reform
Recommended
By HouseUnit
Salaries for Board,
Changes in HondIing
Of Alcoholics Urged

Reorganization of the Parole
Board, with a full-time chairman
and two members who would be paid
on per diem basis when they are
on board business, has been recon-
mended by special committee ap-
pointed some time ago by the House
District Committee.
The committee, which met yester-
day in the Office Of Representative
Hebert, Democrat, of Louisiana,
also recommended that the Parole
Board be put under the jurisdiction
Of the Department of Corrections
of the District Government. The
group also urged that the board be
given wide latitude in carrying out
its work and that lower minimum
and higher maximum sentences be
given offenders-a step which would
help in the paroling of prisoners.
New Plan for Alcoholics.
The committee also asked changes
in the treatment of alcoholics to
eliminate the stigma Of prison SEN
tences. Plans are to be drafted to
treat alcoholics from medical
standpoint and not as criminals. It
was pointed out that there is an in
creaSing number of alcoholics, not
only here but throughout the
country.
A mandatory system Of INSTALL
ment paying of fines also was rec
commended. At present, a judge
may, in his discretion, permit in
stallment payment of fines. But
these cases are few and far between,
the committee said
The committee also recommended
that some Of the work of the Boarc
of Public Welfare be transferred to
the Department of Corrections. The
work to be transferred would con-
sist mostly Of juvenile cases, includ-
| ing responsibility for the Industrial
Home Schools, both white anc
colored, and other correctional
institutions.
Another Meeting Dec. s.
Owing to the absence of Edga.
Morris, chairman of the Board o.
Public Welfare, the question o.
juvenile delinquency was left to thc.
next meeting of the committe,
which will be held in Representative,
Heberts Office December S.
It was the consensus of the COM
mittee that they end their discus
sions at the next meeting and b.
that time have something tangibl;,
to lay before the public, which vii
be invited to open hearings.
The members of the committee
who met yesterday were Chief Jus
tice Bolitha j. Laws, of the Distric:
Court; James v. Bennett, directo.
of the Federal Bureau of Prisons
Corporation Counsel Vernon z
West; Don Clemmer, director of tn
department Of Corrections of tn
