Believed Precedent
By The ksseeioted Prsss

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 27.-I. r.
Quinn, executive director of the
Commission Of Game and Inland
Fisheries, said yesterday that inn
position of a fine on the American
Cyanamid Co. on a charge Of stream
pollution may have set a prece-
dent in the State"
$50 far as I have BEEN able to
find out this was the first case of
its kind to 60 to court and result
in imposition of a fine in Virginia, "
he added.
He said the American Cyanamid
Co. had been fined $25-the mini
mum for the offense-after a hear
ing before Trial Justice j. B. Mas
sey of Lovingston. The company
has a plant on Piney River.
MFR. Quinn said there had been an
investigation about q year ago after
q number Of fish were found dead
in the river. After an analysis was
made of the water, he said, the COM
par1y was ordered to correct the
condition. When similar conditions
appeared again recently, the COM
pany was charged with violating
Virginia's stream pollution law.
The warrant was sworn out by the
supervising game warden.
The company contended that un-
der the water resources law, the
game commission had no jurisdiction.
Mr.. Quinn said no appeal had been
noted in the case as far as he knew.

Dr.. WoImon Cites Weaknesses
In Potomac Development Plans
National Reviewing
Agency Held Needed
To Expedite Work
fLast OF a SeriesJ.
By james BirchfieId

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, group
formed by compact between the
Potomac River States and the Fed
eral Government. has SO 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, it is without
administrative powers to carry cut
specific projects. This is felt by
many observers to be a weak spot
In the compact method Of river
basin development
DR.. Abel Wolman 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-
der existing State and Federal agen-
cies, and advised that the creation
OF a 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:
''If the central problem Of integra-
tion 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 a 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

At present, the board explained,
members Of the Board Of County

The group added that members Of

ness because the county manager
will handle all administrative work.
ssNow is the time for the voters Of

election, they may decide whether
the charter on which they vote rep
