Cambridge, Mass, Afflicted
 With Water Main tBustitis'

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. Is. UP) Cambridge residents dug their rubbers out of closets today and went of to work wondering where the water would come from next.
 Since Sunday seven mains have burst and have poured thousands of gallons of water into the streets and cellars of the city. The prob lem is too much water outside and not enough inside.
 Every time main bursts, the residents slosh through puddles to get home and then can't even get drink. The drinking water either is shut off entirely or full of rust.
 Unable To Explain It
 City officials were unable to ex- plain the outbreak. Water Commis- sioner Timothy w. Good said he'd never seen anything like it.
 s"It can't be age," he said, why some of those pipes have been in only since 1867. Over in Rome the same kind of pipe have been used for 600 years. They're not having any trouble"
 Most of the breaks were repaired in short order, but the first one to break still spurted water. Workmen can't find shutoff valve. They plugged it with wood, but the pres sure shot the plug out again in a few minutes.
 Could Be Increased Pressure
 Some breaks were discovered when water leaked through the pavement. Others when pressure from the pipes blew out as much as 30- foot section of the roadway.
 T don't know what's the mat ter" Good said, T guess it's just one of those things
 One explanation of the breaks was. offered by Prof Thomas R.

WHISKEY CREEK
PROJECT DENIED

Proposed improvements to Pur-
Vance creek known in New
Hanover county as Whiskey creek
have been acted upon unfavor-
ably by the South Atlantic divi-
sion of Army Engineers, accord
ing to advices received last night
from Brig. Gen. James B. New
man, Jr., U. S. Army division
engineer whose offices are in At
lanta.
The improvements, proposed by
citizens owning property adjacent
to the creek, were requested last
year. These would have consisted
of deepening the creek channel
to four or five feet and widening
it to go or rs feet. Extent OF the
operations, as requested by the
citizens, would have been from
the Inland Waterway to the high
way bridge which crosses Pur-
Vance, or Whiskey, creek on the
Long Loop highway.
In turning down the requested
improvements General Newman
said that adverse conclusions
are based on the fact that the
estimated cost of the improvements
would be greater than would be
justified by the benefits to be ex-
pected."

HOPKINS RITES
SET FOR FRIDAY
Confident OF Presidents
Dies In New York After
Long Illness

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. - R -
Harry Hopkins, the lanky, loose
jointed man of mystery who was
trusted by the late Fcanklin,~D.
Roosevelt with many of the nation S
highest secrets, died today.
Even in death, there was hint
of mystery in the man who was
SO close to the late President that
he lived for three and half years
at the White House.
A formal announcement by DR..
c. P. Rhoads, superintendent of
Memorial hospital said:
Harry Hopkins died at 1875
a. m. today. The nature of his
illness was obscure and final
determination cannot be made until
further facts are available.''
Funeral services will be held
at p. m. Friday at St. Bartholo-
news church, Park avenue and
50th street.
The 55-year-old son of an Iowa
harness maker was considered in
Washington as one of this nation S
most powerful men. He spoke
rarely in public, but his long lean
face, topped by thin brown hair
often was seen in the background
of momentous, inter national
meetings before and during World
War II.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt's closest con-
fidant, Hopkins was present at
the historic Atlantic Charter meet
ing with Prime Minister Winston
Churchill in 1341. Hopkins was at
the Casablanca conference, at
Cairo to meet with Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, at the Big Three
meeting in the Crimea.
President Harry S. Truman last
May sent Hopkins as personal
emissary to talk with Marshal
Josef Stain in Moscow on mat
tiers arising from the collapse
of Germany and the war with
Japan. II
Hopkins also is survived by two
brothers, DR.. Lewis Hopkins OF
Tacoma, Wash, and Emery Hop
kins of Seattle, Wash; and SIS
ter. Mrs. Adah Anne of New York.

DEPARTMENTS DIVIDED
Secretary's Stat m e n t
Clears Up Confusion On
Zone Administration

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.- @ -
Secretary of State Byrnes made il
plain today that the Army, which
had hoped to get out by June l,
would continue to administer the
American zone in Germany in
definitely.
This means, Byrnes told his news
conference, that the State depart
ment will continue in it's policy
making role and will not venture
into the administrative field where
it has had no experience.
Byrnes' statements went far to-
ward clearing up confusion on the
administrations in Germany which
had existed since Oct. 80.
On that date, President Truman
made public a letter from General
Dwight D. Eisenhower urging that
American participation in the AL
lied government of Germany be
turned over to civilians "at the
earliest possible moment" and Sin
no event later than June l, 1916. %
Mr.. Truman said then that the
head Of the AmerQ can civilian gov.
eminent in Germany, when ap.
pointed, would be responsible not
to the State Department, but di-
rectly to the President.
In the intervening months 1t be.
came apparent that some differ
ences existed between the State and
War departm ents on the part each
was to play in the civilian admins
tration. Lately neither department
has made a secret of its eagerness
to have. the other undertake pri-
mary responsibility under the
President for the administrative
job.
Byrnes said Secretary Of War
Patterson is exceedingly anxious
to transfer the administrative job
to the State department Or any
where else. Byrnes added, however,
that both Patterson and Eisenhow-
er finally had agreed with him that
it would be best for the Army to
continue until a small civilian ad.
ministrative force can do the job.
The transfer can not be made,
Byrnes said, until central German
administrative agencies, manned
by Germans, are established.
Byrnes added that the President
now agrees with this view.

MOVEMENT LAUDED

Rotarians yesterday heard Thom-
as Fuller, former colonel in the
Transportation corps, now assist
ant to the freight traffic manager
of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
describe the operations of the I. {.

lar meeting of the club in the ban
quet room of the Friendly cafe

lerno, told members that the corps

Corps but after stretch under the
Service of Supply, was activated
in July, 1912, as a separate SER
vice.
Terming the Overseas Supply d.
vision the most important branch
Of the corps, he disclosed that with
divisions in Brooklyn and San
Francisco, the division handled all
acquisitions for overseas ship
ments as materiel and prevented
the congestion on railroad and
highways around harbors that &C.
Cured during the last war.
The job overseas was very oil
ferent, Fuller said, with operations
being conducted on a "do the job
the best and quickest possible with
what you have on hand basis.
Not many people realize that
from Casa Blanca to Tunisia is
1900 niles, he said in discussing
some of the problems of the Afrl-
can invasion and campaign, land
the railroads could handle trains
loaded with only $50 net tons SIX
tunes day."
A train made $50 miles in one
"a hour period. This was supple
mented by trucks, ships and pipe
lines" he added.
Fuller described the transporta.
uon problem in Italy as tough
with much rebuilding necessary as
me Germans destroyed railroads
and bridges during retreat.
Although 600 tons unloaded
rom a ship in a 24-hour period
is considered good, Fuller said,
worlds record was set in Naples
oy the corps in unloading $500 tons
81 cargo from Liberty ship ir
@at length of time.
When the history of the war is
written, the part that the Trans

Fund Misuse CHARGE
Denied By Coleman
Commissioner Says He See.
No Misrepresentation
OF Chest Money

Complete denial that he had
accused any group or organization
of Misrepresentation of funds in
connection with current discussions
of expenditures by the Community
Chest was made last night by
Louis J. Coleman, member of the
New Hanover county Board Of
Commissioners.
"Any such statement attributed
to me was erroneous" Coleman
said. During the discussions
did say that it appears to me that
all of the money is going to the
Chest and that some of it is not
going to the INDECENT people for
whom it was contributed. But there
is a lot Of difference between what
I said and any indication I suggest
ed there has been any misappropri-
alton of funds
Colep' ans statement came as a
result of discussions that have
been carried on here between the
New Hanover county Board OF
Commissioners and Community
Chest and Associated Charities
officials relative to a deficit which
faces the Charities organization
and present attempts to find suf-
ficent funds for the Charities board
to continue normal operations.
Coleman had been quoted as
saying that the way in which
money had been expended con-
stituted misapprcpriation of funds.
His denial followed this quotation.
