Sewer Connections
Ordered 10 Reduce
Sligo Creek Pollution

Several home owners in the Sligo
Creek area between Colesville and
Piney Branch roads in Silver
Spring have been ordered by the
Montgomery County Health De-
partment to make connection with
public sewers in an attempt to re-
duce pollution in the stream, it was
learned today.
Ralph Tarbett, county public
health engineer, said the order was
issued after it was discovered that
sewage from the homes is going
into septic tanks which in turn are
believed to feed into Sligo Creek.
He said it was possible that the
condition was responsible, at least
in part, for a polio outbreak In the
Silver Spring area several months
ago.
Chemical tests of samples taken
from the stream showed that the
worst condition, from the viewpoint
of pollution, exists at the former
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission sewage fill about a mile
north of Forest Glen road, &C
cording to Mr.. Tarbett.
He added that most of the con-
tamination in the stream, outside
of the fill, was found between
Colesville and Piney Branch roads
IT would advise people not to
wade or swim in the creek until
these homes have been connected
with public sewers" Mr.. Tarbett
asserted. after that I think it
would be all right for them to wade
in it but not to swim"
Harry r. Hall, chief engineer of
the Sanitary Commission, said COM
mission workmen chlorinate the
stream regularly at the old fill to
counteract any possible pollution.
He commended that from bac-
THEOLOGICAL standpoint the stream
as a result of chlorination, lis
superior there to that above the
fill"

The issues behind the Wall
ace-Byrnes debate requires a
profound study; it is more than
a private feud or battle of per-
SonalitieS. 1t is a tremendous
subject, one sharply exposed in
the controversial FDR book by
Elliot Roosevelt. This is sub
ject that today concerns every
native of China, of India, Africa,
Pacific Islands, in fact, all the
Subjugated cruelty exploited
people of the world, including
those in our own nation. 1t
is not merely Russia; it is again
st intolerance in any country.
Mr.. Byrnes has 'taken sides"
with British intolerance as
against alleged Russian intol-
erance. Mr.. ByrneS has shown
a preference to keep down the
Jews and the worlds majority
Of colored peoples including
those in his own state, while
Strengthening the position of
white supremacy even to re-
building Germany and lining up
