Hundreds Of Homes Vacant
Due 10 Lack Of Facilities

Hundreds Of newly constructed
homes in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties are unoccupied
because they have no sewer or wa
ter connections. .,
This was disclosed by the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commis-
sion as it announced it has on file
more than $500 applications for
water and sewage connections In
both counties.
A company spokesman said the
commission had managed to keeI
pace with the growing numbers OF
applications and had held the back
log at about the same level since
just after the war, when a sudden
influx of applications created q
waiting list.
Although the commission does not
start construction of pipelines until
foundations of new homes are laid
the official emphasized the impor-
tance of builders applying for the
connections as soon as they COM
plete plans for housing develop
merits.
He said many of the houses are
unoccupied due to lack of sewer ano
water connections because the build
ers failed to apply for the commits
sion's services until the houses were
half completed

leaks" by members of Parliament.
The committees report said Mr..
Walkden has disclosed to a news

imprisonment.

September Proposed
For Jap Treaty Talks
BY the Associated Press

The United States probably will
suggest to other interested nations
that the initial 11-nation confer
ence on a Japanese peace treaty be
held early next month";. just before
the opening of the United Nations
General Assembly in New York.
Some officials have mentioned
September 10-a- week before tht
U. N. opening-as good date fol
the japanese meeting.
This planning is in line with {
reported decision to 60 ahead with.
out Soviet participation, if the Rus.
slams persist in remaining aloo1
from the American proposals fol
making II nations instead of only
the Big Four powers responsible fol
drafting the Japanese treaty.
Australia and Great Britain art
reported to have suggested that the
first sessions be neld by Foreign
Ministers instead of lesser repre-.
sentatives.
Authorities said today this is en-.
tirely satisfactory to the United
States. 1t is one reason American
leaders now feel the drafting con.
ference should be held about the
time Foreign Ministers are gather
Ing for the U. N. sessions.
Originally the United States sug-
gested that the drafting sessions
begin August 10 in either Wash
ington or San Francisco. British
commonwealth countries objected
because of the conflict with an
other meeting they were planning
A site for the initial japanese
treaty conference has not been
selected, although 1t probably will
be held in Washington.

to overthrow the government, but

Mr.. Petkov ordered him to commit

for an armed struggle against the

eign Intervention and to incite sab
otage.

burned beyond recognition within

1t was the third in a series of
tragedies that has virtually wiped
out one of New England's oldest
and best-known families. An elder
Mandell brother died in action in
World War I-shot down on the
last American flight over German
lines just before the armistice A
younger was killed playing polo II
years ago.
The Mandell plane was an hour
and half overdue at the Beverly
Airport-15 miles away-when it
crashed. leading fire officials to
speculate Mr.. Pell was attempting
an emergency landing.
Any chance to save the four was
hopeless. Waste gas being pumped
Into the furnace was quickly shut
of, and then-through emergency
doors-workers dragged with long
poles and hooks to recover the re-
mains Of the victims as the interior
cooled.
Witnesses reported hearing a mo-
tor sputtering about q half mile
from the Beacon Oil plant said that
it "just missed the Boston elevated
structure seconds before plunging
down the chimney.
The big Boston airport Is just
across Boston harbor from the oil
terminal. Several other airports are
located in the vicinity.
Mr.. Pell, who is a veteran trans
port pilot and formerly flew with
1.-THE China National Always, came
to Massachusetts, about three months
ago to take charge of operations for
tn North Atlantic Always.
Joseph Murphy, general manager
of the Beacon plant, said a possibly
worse disaster was averted as the
plane barely skinned huge tanks
storing hundreds of thousands of
gallons of gasoline, naptha, benzine,
oil and tar.
Some employees at the oil plant
said they saw plane circling over
head before the crash-leading off,
cials to speculate that Mr.. Pell was
looking for place to land.
Had he flown just 10 feet to the
left of the furnace chimney, they
said. he would have landed in a
pond suitable for an emergency
landing"
