Commission Studies
Ways to Correct
River Pollution
Meeting Held Last Thursday
And Friday AT New Germany
Forest Area

The Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin meeting at New
Germany recreation area last Thurs
day and Friday, voted in favor of
the executive committees recOmmen-
dation of House Resolution 1924 on
river pollution providing the sever
al states are given representation and
providing the central authority is not
vested in the federal government.
The commission approved the rec
concentrations of the technical COM
mittee on the standardization of
water quality classifications includ-
ing the zOning of the various sectors
in the basin according to degree of
pollution. The SOreSt spots in the en-
tire area were noted as being the
waters of Potomac in the Georges
Creek Cumberland area and the Ana
costa river in and near Washington
Owen Hitchins, Cumberland, in re-
gard to the Potomac River pollution,
announced there was every indication
that present plans to complete the
Savage river dam in this county
would go through.
The commissions industrial COM
mittee headed by Julian Patrick, of
the West Virginia Pulp and Paper
company, reported on additional
study of plans for abatement of pol
luton and the sterilization of flow of
the Potomac. 1t was proposed that
the committee make study of old
Indian dams still in existence in this
area as a possible means of correct
ing some of the pollution in the river.
DR.. S. S. Steinbcrg, dean of the col
legc of engineering, University of
Maryland, suggested that the COM
mittee call on the university and
government facilities in making such
study. 1t was generally agreed that
the Savage river dam would solve
many Of the immediate problems in
regard to water flow but that a ser
les of smaller dams would aid in
governing water flow and in aiding
present pollution difficulties.
Some sixty engineers and santa
ton specialists were present at New
Germany at the two-day meeting.
Also attending were the Garrett
County Commissioners and Senator
B. l. Gender.
Joseph f. kaylor, state forester,
told the group that the present forest
service control program had two
paramount detectives, fire control
and soil control. He stressed the i'm
portance of controlling water at its
source and said that proper reforest-
alton methods would insure a contin-
ual "spongy humus" in the woodland
areas that would provide water and
also prevent erosion if forest oper-
ators would cooperate and not strip
entire areas of timber.
After terminating business affairs,
the group went on a tour of the Saw
age river state forest, the north
branch of the Potomac and the Luke
Mill Of the West Virginia Pulp and
Paper company. Many of the men,
bers who attended returned to their
homes Friday night instead of spend
ing the weekend in New Germany as
they feared the rail tie-up would in
terfere with their return home.
Members came from Washington,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Viz
ginia and Virginia.

Wallace Denies
 Fovoring Purge Of RecoIcitrontS

Washington, April 11-(UP)- Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace denied today that he de- sired a purge" of recalcitrant Democrats. He said that, in fact, he opposed the late President Roos- evelt's attempted purge of some Congressional Democrats in 1888. Commerce Committee he had been "misquoted on a recent speech be- fore a Democratic Women's Com mittee. What he proposed, he said was "self-discipline" on the part of the Democratic and Republican parties.
 Il didn't use the word purge" he protested.
 The discussion developed unex- pectedly when Wallace appeared before the Senate Committe to tes- tify against the so-called Bulwinkle Bill to permit rate-fixing agree ments by. railroads.
 He said 1t was apparent the bill would give carriers broad relief from antitrust laws, but contains no teeth for protection of the pub lie interest against coercive prac- tices and other restraints upon competition in rates and services"
 Sen. Clyde Reed, (R.-Kan0, re- ferring to Wallace'S use of the "coercive practices" said he had noticed recent newspaper stories which seemed to indicate that Wal lace might favor coercion" with regard to members of Congress. @ "The Senator has been mtSled, as people sometimes are, by news paper headlines written by people who weren't there," Wallace re- piled.

Confusion On Use ofAir Mail Stamps
P0simasteF Gives Warning 10 Public On Return Addresses

Air Mail envelopes can only be used for Air Mail Service, Post master Charles A. Babin warned this morning. The red and blue striped envelopes are not mailable as three-cent mail, he explained. All letters enclosed in Air Mail en- velopes are automatically given air mail service. If insufficient postage is on the envelope, the letter must be returned to the sender.
 The postmaster urged everyone to put return address on all let ters. He explained that if a letter is not nailable for any reason and there Is no return address, the let ter is sent to the dead letter oflce. He added that 1t was a frequent occurrence for people to use air mail envelopes with insufficient postage and to leave off the return ad- dress. All these letters must be sent to the dead letter office, he explain ed, as thy are not mailable.
 Numerous other letters end up in the dead letter office because of no return address, Babin said. Most of these involve incomplete or incorrect forwarding addresses. Oftentimes the wrong state is listed on the forwarding address, pre- venting the delivery of the letter.

 10000 Baldies' to Bob Up Wearing Real Hair
By ROBERT RICHARDS


 New York, April 11-Ten thousand bald heads in these United States are going to bob up wearing hair within the next few weeks or Louis Feeder will die trying.
 The hair won't be real but it'll have gal appeal-or so Feeder claims and you can wear it even while standing on your hands in shower.
 Ten thousand" Feeder said today, fleXing his muscles and running his fingers through train schedules. "I'll put hair on 10000 heads, or eat my own creations" s.
 Feeder Fifth Avenue false hair merchant, plans to open Operation Toupee two weeks from today if possible. Working alone, without even a bottle of hair tonic to en- courage him, he'll sweep through Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus Tol- edo, Denver and on to Los Angeles.
 To Settle in Best Hotels
 q will establish headquarters in the main hotel of each city," Feeder said, land then I'll send out my call to the helpless"
 He expects all sorts of drastic changes to take place in these cities as he breezeS through them.
 Marriages will take an upswing," Feeder said, "and even divorceS may be nipped in the bud-if we don't count California"
 He feels that the hairless people of tha nofioY1 uarIaN i,a kHai1. Vn na1xy.. found splendor will suddenly as- sert themselves and their personali- ties may change overnight.
 After pumping into the Pacific, Feeder will rebound along the south ern route carrying his wares to the blistering noggins in Houston, Fl Paso, and San Antonio Texas. Then on to New Orleans, across to Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and on up through vir- ginia.
 To Carry Secret Weapon
 Of course Feeder will travel with his secret weapon-the taShay.

 The tashey is human hair, pur- chased from European peasants, which is fitted-piece by piece-to a net-like base. When placed on the human skull it meltS into the gen. eral bump-work and is hardly notice able.
 A CT, who lost his hair while ser- ving with airforce troops in Brazil got one of Feder's tashays when he returned to New York. And my parents still don't know anything about 1t he said. They think it's my own hair"

Vital in Hearing
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Uress Staff Correspondent

Un1ted UEeSS SLaH SOEEeSPVH~VAS
 Washington, April 11-I saw "The Student Prince once myself, as played by the No. 2 Shubers Road company. can sympathize with Adm. Harold R. Stark, the most devastating theatrical critic of them all.
 Brace yourselves, ShubertS, be- cause this is going to hurt. The Nays head man spent the even- ing of December 6. 194l, in a $3.30 seat here at the National Theater, viewing your production concern ing high life in old Heidelburg. Or so the White House was informed. The Admiral wouldn't know.
 He was so little impressed, gentle men, that he cannot remember whether he was so busy thinking about something else that he ig- nored (quite a trick in itself) the soprano screams of your road com- pany Kathy. He can't even remem- Der being in the theater. That, Shuberts, is not all of the Admiral's cfittque, but the rest of it I'll have to explain:
 Tried to Contact Stark
 The Senate-House Pearl Har- bor Investigating Committee re- opened its hearings into the disas- ter to learn whether the Admiral of Gen. George c. Marshall could remember, in the light of new de- velopments, what they were doing the night before the attack. The evidence indicated the late Presi- dent Roosevelt had received that night a Jap code message. He ex- claimed this means war" and tried to get Admiral Stark on the phone.
 The White House operator re- ported that he was at the theater, Shuberts, viewing your operetta. At least he was at the theater. MT. Roosevelt was quoted as saying he wouldn't call the Admiral away from the Princes adventures on stage because that might cause talk.
 So there was the Admiral in muf- ti before his inquisitors. With his gold braid replaced by 8 double breasted gray flannel suit, he didn't seem like sea-faring man. Nor did he resemble a theatrical critic. He looked more like an elderly den- tist, who'd take pains to drill gent ly
 He threaded his way among the exploded flash bulbs, which filtered the red velvet carpet like Easter eggs, took the chair in which he'd spent so many uncomfortable hours last winter, and said he still did not remember where he was on the fateful Saturday night. Here 1t comes, ShubertS, the unkindeSt stab of all:
 Tries to Tell Plot
 Admiral Stark sat there straight faced, while Seth Richardson, the committee counsel, said he could understand how busy man might forget a show like The Student Prince" He said he'd try to re- fresh the Admiral's memory by tell ing him the plot.
 ''The Student Prince lawyer announced, "is the story of prince who goes to college and has the usual feminine interludes. such as you and I had when we were in college"
 Admiral Stark replied soberly (admitting nothing about inter ludes as alleged) that he knew the plot. He said he'd seen "The Stu dent Prince" once in Philadelphia. Before that, even he'd seen 1t some- where else. He couldn't seem to es- cape The Student Prince"
 "But you did not see It tEe night

 Stark Doesn't Recall Seeing Sho1U on Dec. 6

 The Admiral said he might have. He said he might have not. T just don't know" he testified.
 One more thing, Shuberts. Your "Blossom Time" currently Is play ing at the National Theater. Maybe you fellows can persuade Admiral critic Stark to stay away from it.
