%. c. Filtration Plant on Guard Against Diotoms
HormIess Organisms That Cause Water Odors
Fall Invasion Due, But
Chlorine Is Ready to
Burn Nuisance Out
By Jones BirehfieId

This is the season for diatoms, so
don't be. surprised il you turn on
your water some morning and find
it smelling family OF fishes, or OF an
old abandoned basement.
Don't be alarmed, either, for dia-
toms are harmless. They cause no
injury to men, other than the head
aches they give the technicians at
the filtration plant where the purity
of the Districts water supply is
guarded.
Diatoms are microscopic organ
isn1s found abuntantly in fresh and
salt water. They form most of the
food supply for such aquatic life as
oysters, and when they slip into
drinking water they create odors.
Some give of fishy smells, others
earthly odors, while few specialized
ones may give to the water the smell
of candied violets.
Any of these odors, even OF violets,
is not pleasant in drinking water.
And when it occurs, the corps of
engineers who operate the Wash
ington aqueduct system are sure to
hear about it. -.-.
Breed Profuseiy in Fall.
This reporter, investigating the
effects OF upstream pollution In the
Potomac River on the Washington
water supply. found engineers and
chemists geared to meet expected
diatom invasion. since these minute
organisms breed most profusely In
the spring and in the fall.
Not often do they get by us,
said c. j. Lauter, senior chemist
at the Dalecarlia filtration plant.
I'VE are. jealous OF the reputation
Of Washington water. It Is consid-
cred among the best water in the
United States. topped only by a
few cities on the Pacific Coast that
draw their supply from melting
snow from vast timber area.
"The diatoms that give us the
most trouble here" he continued,
ARE the Synedra that give to the
water an eartny taste, ana the
Asterionena, a star-shaped organ
ism, that produces hshy odors in
the water. .....
Chlorine. Is Weapon.
when diatoms appear we liter<
ally burn them out OF the water
with chlorine. Chlorine is an oxidiz-
inn aoapt opd uyhav n hos Hnichad
its sterilizing job we then eliminate
thea chlorine by adding sulphur
dioxide. So the water you drink
contains nothing but its natural
elements"
Upstream pollution, according to
engineers, causes few if any prob

And 5tateVoted
Protestant Leaders
Meeting Here Plan
National Organization

Sixty Protestant leaders from all
sections OF the country voted here
yesterday to create a Nationwide
organization to insure the separa-
ton Of church and state"
The action was taken at a meeting
at Calvary Baptist Church, Eighth
and H streets NV. Presiding was
Bishop G. Bromley Oman, Meth
odist Bishop Of New York.
DR.. J. M. Dawson, secretary of
the group. said the organizations
constitution and platform will be
presented at a conference in st.
Louis In the near future.
He said the need for such an or
ganization, embracing all faiths,
arises from what he described az
efforts to get public money for
sectarian purposes, such as free text
books for parochial schools"
Resisting Encroachment.
DR.. Dawson said several bills now
are before Congress and before State
Legislatures seeking to use public
funds for sectarian purposes.
I'VE are interested only in re-
sist1ng any encroachment on the
American doctrine for separation of
church and state, which we believe
involves religious liberty" he said.
DR.. Dawson said the group adopted
resolution calling on AL Amer
icans who profess allegiance to
Protestantism, Judaism or any other
religious faith and those who, though
processing no church allegiance, be-
lieve In the American form of Cow
ernment, to Join in demanding that
legislatures and executives and
courts shall defend the Constitution
against all efforts to subvert it."
Taylor's Withdrawal Asked.
He said the group also reaf,1rmed
Its demand that. President Truman
withdraw Myron Taylor as the Pres
ident's personal representative to
the Vatican with the title of
Ambassador"
We are not heading any anti
Catholic movement in making the
request" DR.. Dawson said. The oh
lection to Mr.. Taylor's role, he added.
Is based On the contention that it
gives virtual diplomatic status to the
Vatican.
During the last year several Pro-
testant denominations have adopted
resolutions condemning the use Of
State funds for parochial schools
and calling for the recall OF Mr.. Tay-
lor as the Presidents representative
to the Vatican.
Among those at yesterdays meet
ing were Episcopal Bishop William
