Hasten Canal Repair

District officials moved swiftly to.
day to help the Capitals park office
repair the big Chesapeake 81 Ohio
Canal break near Weaver street
NV. The break has drained five
miles of the historic waterway.
Elwood johnson, deputy director
of sanitary engineering, said he ex-
pected to advertise for bids today to
build modern storm sewer connec-
ton under the canal where the
break occurred.
1t was the failure of a hand-laid
stone culvert built more than 10C
years ago which caused the break
park officials explained today.
Stones Loosened.
Water from the Districts six-foot
Weaver street storm sewer poured q
heavier stream of water into the old
culvert than it could handle. Stones
gradually were loosened until a
break occurred, engineers said.
The culyert was built, theysadded
merely to carry the water of a small
brook, which flowed into the river
there before the city was built up
Mr.. johnson said he hoped tc
have work on the new sewer exten-
sion underway by June 9. About
140 feet must be added to the sewer
to carry it under the canal. The
work should take about 80 days.
Water Power Interrupted.
Park officials, who at first though.
the repairs would take only about
three weeks. later said they coule
have the towpath repaired ane
water back in the canal in about {
week after the workmen are fin.
ished.
They said they hope to get tn,
Job done as fast as possible so the

Don't try to get a suntan In a

That's the advice of District
Health Off1cer George C. Rutland.
Sunlight taken in small exposures
may have very favorable effect
upon some individuals" he said. But
he warned against OVERRIDING 1t.
"Over-exposure may lead to serious
nervous manifestation such as deli
rum and coma or sunstroke," he
pointed out.
DR.. Rutland reminded sunbathers
they can protect themselves by using
an oily preparation. such as skin
creams and suntan preparations,
But he also explained there are some
preparations. sold commercially
which have tendency to increase
the burn because of the greasy con-
tent.
Persons who seek exercise in the
sun, such as golf. tennis. baseball
and gardening. should be alert tc
prevent heat exhaustion or sun
stroke, DR.. Rutland said.
Healthful living habits, such as
sufficient sleep, frequent baths anc
a well-rounded but moderate diet

BY The Assoeioisd Press

Co. of Baltimore announced last
night that the Maryland Telephone
Traffic Union, representing 4,4O0 op-
orators and other traffic department
employees, had accepted a new work
contract providing weekly wage in
creases of 81 and So.
Earlier agreements cover CONNER
cial and accounting employees rep
resented by the Maryland Fedora
ton of Telephone Clerical Workers,
and traffic and commercial workers
in the Maryland suburban areas
adjacent to the District of Columbia
represented by two Washington
unions.
A phone company official said the
wage settlement negotiated with
these four unions amounts to con-
siderably less than the original de-
mand for straight s12 a week raise
to every employe, which, together
with other adjustments, If granted
would have increased the cost sot
furnishing service in Maryland by
$12 ,000."
The traffic union previously agreed
to an extension of the 1947 pact until
July /, or until new one was signed
Meanwhile the Board of Directors
Of, the telephone company announced

Agriculture Prepares
For Fund Slash by
Notices

Agriculture Department officials
conceded late yesterday that several
thousand persons throughout the
whole department have been given
notices they will lose their jobs July
l, If the House-approved appropria-
tion bill is accepted by the Senate
The officials, however, refused to
estimate how many employees in
Washington were given the notices.
Washington employees total II $50
OF Agriculture's 64,413 full time en-
ployes.
The House cut the Departments
appropriation % per cent below
President Truman's budget recon-
mendations.
Many Offices Of the Department
still were determining yesterday
whether they could better make
their cuts here or in the field, max
ing it impossible to fix the number
OF releases in Washington.
Unit Faces Heavy Cut.
Perhaps hardest hit will be the
Production and Marketing Admins
tration, the agency which admin
listers the AAA soil conservation
program, marketing quota pro-
grams, farm price support opera
tions and crop insurance. It has a
total OF 1851 employees here and
in the field.
Another agency which would be
forced to cut its staff heavily, per-
maps As per cent, is the Farmers
Home Administration, which pro-
vldes financial assistance to low
income farmers and veterans seek
/ ing farms.
1t was estimated that cuts in some
divisions will be as high at so Del
cent.
Notices Not Final.
Agriculture officials said last night
some employees who were given dis
charge notices yesterday will be re.
tanned. They explained the Depart.
ment wants to be on the safe side
IN case the final appropriation
measure should be reduced further
before it finally passes Congress
Civil Service rules require that
employees who lose their jobs because
OF a reduction in force must be
given at least 80 days notice.
! Likely to suffer the largest totaI
reduction in employees rolls are the
county AAA offices.
They are not classed as part oi

ment from funds appropriated fo,
