Town Follow
Experts On
Wafer Supply

The Mayor and Council of Rock
Vile have completed their study
of the engineering report sub
mitted by Whitman, Requardt and
Assoc. of Baltimore, retained last
November to study all possibilities
OF increasing the water supply for
the town. The Council has unan-
imously agreed to follow the re-
concentrations of this report and
are starting Immediately to meet
the engineers requirements.
The engineers recommend that
the "town increase its well support
by the addition of at least five
wells. This should enable the town
to obtain sufficient water for the
next several years until the next
Legislature meets. By that time
prices may be much more STABILIZE
ed than they are at present. At
that time the possibility of yields
from the wells will be better de-
monstrated and if decided that
we'll supplies are inadequate, then
the decision as to building its own
surface supply or connecting with
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission could be deter
mined"
Meanwhile the erection of the
new 100000 gallon elevated stor-
age tank is proceeding rapidly and
should be completed by early June.
That will give the town three
times as much water for general
use and fire prevention as has
ever been available before. !,

Grafton of Citizens Associations on
racial segregation in the District

Members said cultural, educa-

questioned the financial soundness
of the dual system" of education
in the District. Others, however,
claimed segregation in the schools

posed any change in the system on
the ground it would do more harm
than good.
The association opposed the ex-

in the area, in view of the pros

Br;itoin's Reputation
OF Soviet Pact CHARGED

MOSCOW, Jan. Is (P.-A COM
mentator In Pravda, Communist
Party organ, in one of the most out
spoken declarations on British
Soviet relations since the war, fatty
accused British Foreign Secretary
Bevin yesterday of repudiating the
Anglo-Soviet treaty of alliance of
1912.
The commentator, signing merely
the initials IN. NJ" reminded
Pravda's readers that Mr.. Bevin in
speech December % had declared
Britain docs not tie herself to
anybody" asked if he had for
gotten the treaty of alliance and
asserted that his proposal to extend
the 20-year treaty to so years was
not meant seriously.
(The Soviet monitor in London
first translated a Moscow broad
cast of the article as saying Mr..
Bevin had "renounced" the treaty
and then changed it to dis
avowed."
"a British Foreign Office
spokesman in London quickly de-
MED that Mr. Bevin had dis
avowed" the pact in answering
criticism of some British labor
ties that Britain's foreign policy
was too closely linked with the
United States.
(The spokesman said the COM

context the statement that Brit
ain "does not tie herself to any

ldssians Reported
Cutting Reparations
Demand on Germany
BY The Associated Press

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-The Soviet
sponsored~Socialist Unity Party
announced today it had assur-
ances from Marshal VASTLY D.
Sokolovsky, Soviet commander
in chief in Germany, that the
Russians would substantially re-
duce their reparations demands
on Germany and grant an in
crease of 200 to 800 per cent in
the level of industrial produc-
ton in the Soviet occupation
zone.
The announcement followed con-
ferences between party officials and
Russian authorities at Marshal
SokoloVsky's headquarters.
1t was presented by the Socialist
Unity Party's official newspaper un-
der this bannerline: Germany Can
Be Hopeful"
In giving their sponsored political
party opportunity to make pres
tige-winning announcement, the
Russians promised concessions to
the Germans on seven points.
However, to some of these there
were strings attached-especially to
promise that dismantling of fac
tories in the Soviet zone would
cease. Dismantlings will halt, the
Soviet announcement said, after
the dismantling of war industries
has been completed"
Furthermore, the Russians made
an exception of seven German coal
mines whose equipment is urgently
needed fer the repair of devastated
coal mines in the Soviet Union"
The Russians also announced that
the 200 large industries which were
originally scheduled for disman-
tling" had been taken into Russian
ownership in the big Soviet-Akti-
engesellschaften industrial cor
porations) and would remain in
Germany working for the Russians.
However, the announcement added,
"a of these industries will be given
back to state ownership of the Rus
sian zones German governments.
The Soviet A. G.. was set up to-
contain German plants under Rus
sian ownership after the Russians
found that in some cases it was
more practical to keep factories
working for them here than to go
to the trouble of dismantling them
and attempting to reassemble them

However, diplomatic authorities

that this Government regards as
