Virginia Health Unit
Studies Pollution Plan

The Virginia Health Department
is considering plans to correct pol
luton that flows into the Potomac
River at the south end of National
Airport, it was learned today.
Edwin L. Cotton, engineer -secre-
tary of the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin, said he
had been informed by the Virginia
Water Control Board of the studies
being made by the health depart
ment.
The Potomac Commission had
asked that representatives of the
State Water Control Board, the
Public Health Service and Of Arling-
ton County and the city of Alexan-
dria meet to discuss the condition at
Four Mile Run, where the two Vir-
ginia communities dump raw or
partially treated sewage into the
river.
In q letter to Mr.. Cotton, l.. L.
Hedgepeth, executive secretary of
the Water Control Board, said the
board would act on the health de-
partment's studies as soon as they
are completed.
He said that If National Airport
authorities would communicate di-
rectly with the board the problem
would be considered by the board.

TURKEY POINT, Md, Oct. q
Mrs. Fannie Salter, the only quail

Mrs. Salter is going only six miles

Her son threatens to put an cleo

so she'll be able to sleep at night.
Mrs. Salter took over the light

band died. She already had served
three years with him.
She was the third woman to do
the work in the ia years the lignt

the Elk and North East Rivers.
Until 1912, the duties included four

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 2.-Agree.
ment has been reached between the
Virginia Electric and Power Co.
and the Independent Utility Work.
ers' Union on contracts for 1947-48,
spokesmen for the company and the
union said today.
The union is divided into two bar
gaining units, one for the 600 clerical
workers and another for nearly 300
technical, professional and scien-
tiflc employees.
A contract has been signed for the
clerical unit, under which graduated
general increases in salaries are
granted on a bracket basis. The
company said the increases would
amount to approximately S125,000 a
year, and the union estimated indi-
vidual increases at about 10 per cent
on an annual basis.
The major change In the contract
is the elimination of a former clause
which granted maintenance of union
membership. This provision was cut
out in compliance with the State
law which became effective last
April, prohibiting any contracts pro-
viding for closed shop or other
union security features.
Agreement has been reached on a
S10-a-month increase across the
board for the technical unit plus
continuance of a contract granting
salary increases on a merit basis. A
contract for the technical workers
will be signed later this week.

By Harry Lever

A police captain sped throughout
the city last night, visiting precincts
at unannounced times, to inaugurate
Police Chief Robert j. Barrett's new
plan to keep policemen on the alert
at all hours.

to 8 am, found everything in order
and pronounced himself satisfied

The idea. Maj Barrett said. was to
insure Washington of round the
clock" Supervision and a conscien-
tious tour of duty by every police
man.

ters' garage at 1880 am, the news

Fairfax Seeking
10 Halt
Vepco Work
Zoning Violation
Charged in Building
Of Power Line

A criminal warrant charging the
Virginia Electric and Power Co. with
violating the Fairfax County zonins
ordinance in the construction Of q
high-voltage line, was scheduled to
be sworn out today or tomorrow by
county authorities.
Commonwealth Attorney Hugh B.
Marsh told the County Board Of
Supervisors yesterday that he would
instruct zoning Administrator, E.
Russell White to obtain the warrant.
Mr.. Marsh submitted lengthy re-
port yesterday Is requested by the
board as to whether or not the power
company was constructing a trans.
mission line through Fairfax Coun-
ty-contrary to the zoning ordi-
nance.
Mr.. Marsh said that, after an in
vestigation. he was of the opinion
that permit granted November 26,
1916, by the Board of Zoning Ap-
peals to the company for the con-
struction of the line was not legal
because the land over which the line
is to be erected had not been posted
according to provisions of the zon-
ing ordinance.
Action Rescinded.
The Board of zoning Appeals,
reconsidering the application on
April %, l947.. rescinded its action.
Mr. March said that as the permis-
sion granted in the first application
was in error, 1t made no difference
what the board did in connection
with the rehearing.
In his opinion, requested by the
board at its last meeting In order
to determine whether to ask for an
injunction against the company
for the alleged ordinance vio-
lation, Mr.. Marsh further stated
that he believed that the right Of
eminent domain granted public util-
tiles in Virginia is superior to any
local enactment such as zoning
ordinance, but added this opinion
was for the courts to decide.
He said that a criminal warrant
would be obtained at once, and If
possible, the case will be heard in
the Trial Justice Court next week.
In the event that the court rules the
power company is not violating the
ordinance the board of supervisors
may institute civil proceedings in
order to bring the question of emf
nent domain in its bearing on local
zoning ordinance before the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals
Property Damage Cited.
A group of landowners over whose
property the right of way for the
transmission line runs, has con-
Quoted a bitter fight against the
erection of the high voltage line,
citing the damage to property val
ues.
The board denied the application
OF A. J. Wurt. jr.;; Robert Bauer and
10. w. Speetzen, for the rezoning of a
tract Of land on the Lee highway,
near Merrif1eld, from suburban resi-
dental to general business, for the
purpose of erecting thereon a recre-
alton center and roller skating rink,
after a group of property owners,
headed by Milton Murray, voiced OBJ
lection to the project. The Planning
Commission also opposed the appli-
cation.

Legislators Held
- -
Turning Against
State Sales Tax
Some Who Voted for 1t
Have Changed Minds,
Silver Spring Unit Told

A number of legislators who voted
in favor of the per cent sales tax
at the last session of the Maryland
General Assembly have Changed
their minds" Robert I. Black OF
Norbeck, Md, chairman of the
Maryland Economic Council, told
the Silver Spring Board OF Trade
last night.
Mr.. Black, whose group is organ
izing the fight to force the tax
measure into popular referendum,
said: 1--WE will be ready for the
Governor, when and if he calls a
special session of the Legislature.
In the meantime, the councils S
first argument. he said, will take
place at the Circuit Court at An
napolis October Is. He said the
council is prepared to take the battle
to the Maryland Court of Appeals. :
I'VE are in the fight" he asserted,
until the sales tax is repealed or
the people vote otherwise"
Sharing the program with Mr..
Black at the Indian Spring Country
Club was Walter E. Kennedy, chief
of the Sales Tax Division for the
State Controllers Office.
Returns to Exceed S1S,5OO, 900.
Mr.. Kennedy predicted that the
amount from retail sales tax re-
turns will exceed $13,5O0,0CO an
nually. The estimated cost of ad-
ninistering the tax, he stated, will
probably run about per cent Of
the revenue.
Expressing qualification at the
response of Washington establish
ments, Mr.. Kennedy said that more
than 800 stores in the district are
registered at present to collect the
tax.
Several merchants told Mr.. Ken
nedy that the work of figuring the
tax was a costly burden and asked
If more simplif1ed method could
be devised. Particularly bitter in
their complaints were several hard
ware merchants and service station
proprietors.
New Airfields Held Needed.
P. Y. K. Howat, first vice presi-
dent Of the Washington Board of
Trade, urged closer cooperation
among trade groups of the Wash
ington area. Mr.. Howat said that
one OF the most pressing issues was
establishment of airflelds for pri-
vate planes in outlying sections.
He predicted that with inaugura-
ton of Skyway No. l, which has
Washington as its eastern terminus,
there will be tremendous demand
for landing fields.
A request of the Silver Spring
Board of Trade and other groups
that the Tuemmler plan be sub
stituted for the State Roads Com
mission design for improved traffic
control at the intersection of Coles
vile road and Georgia avenue has
been favorably received by the COM
mission, Walter Griffin announced.
Mr.. Griffin, member of a special
committee of the Board of Trade,
said 1t is believed the State will
accept the plan drawn by Fred w.
Tuemmler, director of planning for
the Maryland National Capital
Parks and Planning Commission.
