NOTICE TO
WATER
CONSUMERS

This office has received an
unusual mum b e + of COM
plants with respect to your
Water bills. In view of this
condition / feel that | should
explain to you the reason
why your water is costing
more now than heretofore.
1. Before April 1. 1947, you
were billed for water at the
rate of 1900 gallons for a
minimum of $2.55, and now
the same 1900 gallons of
water cost you $3.48 or a diff
ference of .93 cents in your
basic billing. This increase
in cost was approved by City
Council at the regular meet
ing held March IL, 1947.
2. The minimum charge is
billed to you in advance for
water to be used in the subse-
quent three months period
and was levied in lieu of re-
quiring meter deposit. This
minimum charge now entities
you to use 5000 gallons of
water, and all water used in
excess of the minimum al
lowed is charged to you at
the rates shown below.
8. Many of you consumers
have been receiving bills for
the minimum rate of $2.55 re-
gardless of the amount of
water used. This situation
existed because during the
war years 1912 to f945. me-
ters and spare parts were i'm
possible to get; therefore if a
meter went out of order re-
pairs could not be made or
any new meters installed,
Now, new meters and spare
parts are available and re-
pairs and installations are
being made as promptly as
possible. This means that
the water you use is now be-
ing metered, sand in many in
stances it also means in
creased cost for the water
consumed. In some instances
you may receive a bill which
you consider excessive. If
Il this is the case we suggest
you have plumber check
your water lines for pos
sible leak. Sometimes these
leaks are not apparent and it
takes an experienced plumb
er to locate them. 1t is to
q your benefit to follow this
procedure.
4. This office is doing every
4 thing that is possible to cor
rect any errors in the billing
before the bills are released
and will continue to strive to
serve you as efficiently as it
can.
For your information we
are reprinting the old and
new water rates for your
comparison.

Housewives Plan BoYcotts
Of Key Food Commodities
BY the Assoeioted Press

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N. Y,
Sept. ia plan for a rotating sys-
tenn of three-week boycotts against
key food commodities, beginning
with beef, was announced today by
the Housewives League of Rock
vile Centre, which said 1t would
promote the idea throughout Mas
Sau County.
Seventy-five league members voted
the action last night in protest
against high food prices. They said
they would not buy beef from Sep
tember % to October 13. Similar
three-week buyer strikes are planned
against butter. eggs, corn and soaps.
The women also agreed to a con-
tinuous program of short purchases
during the beef strike, imposing
such limitations as one-quarter
pound of butter a week and one egg
day.
Mrs. Allan S. Ayars, league presi-
dent, said she would appear before
women's groups throughout the
county to urge support.
League members said they did not
want return of Government price
control because they believed 1t
would promote black market.

French Attache May Ask
Warrant in Fist Fiqht

The District attorneys Office to-
day was awaiting the next move by
1t. Comdr. Pierre Rouliot, French
Embassy Assistant Naval Attache,
who in closed meeting in the Office
of Assistant District Attorney J
Warren Wilson yesterday indicated
he might ask a warrant against a
Falls Church man as result of "a
fist fight July q.
No charges were filed at yester-
days meeting and no arrest was
made at the time of the reported
fight following a minor traffic acci-
dent in the 1700 block of Benning
road NE, officials said. Comdr.
Rouliot made no complaint until a
week later. At preliminary hear
ing two weeks ago it was explained
he was not protected by the statute
by which a person who strikes a
foreign minister could be charged
with a felony.
The hearing yesterday, 1t was
learned, boiled down to a question
whether Comdr Douliot would drop
possible misdemeanor charges if the
other man, Navy veteran, apollo
gized. The veteran repeatedly re-
fused to apologize if it meant an
admission he was in the wrong in
the fight.
The matter rested there and the
District attorneys Office said today
it did not know whether Comdr
Rouliot would return with a formal
request for a warrant.

HARPERS FERRY, w. Va, Sept.
18.-Residents of this historic town
are watching, with some misgivings,
the progress on the new highway
bridge that will span the Potomac
River about mile below here.
The new bridge is expected to be
completed between october Is and
November l. 1t is. Harpers Ferry
residents fear, the first link in a new
highway system that will isolate this
community from it's remunerative
tourist trade.
1t would be wrong to think of
Harpers Ferry as not progressive.
The residents are all for the new
bridge and the better highway 1t
will bring. What they want, how
ever, is to be sure of a highway
through the town.
Tourists don't turn back" said
Mayor L. D. Nichols. People are
in a hurry these days. Even if
they've heard of Harpers Ferry all
OF their lives-how John Brown was
captured here by Col Robert E. Lee
they simply won't come to see the
town if it's off their main route"
What Harpers Ferry residents
want is for the State Roads Com
mission to continue. Route $40, the
highway that connects with Routes
II and so at Winchester, Va, and
with Route 40 at Frederick, Md,

Lawyer Faces Sanity
Recheck in 2KiI|inqs

Preliminary steps were taken to-
day at District Court by the Gov
ernment for a lunacy hearing for
Dan Williams, jr., disbarred Missis-
sippi attorney, under indictment for
killing two persons and wounding
two others last May in shootings
which began in the Municipal Court
Building.
Justice Matthew F. Mcclure
ordered members of the psychiatric
staff of Gallinger Hospital to
examine williams, who is colored.
and if they decide he is of unsound
mind, order lunacy hearing. Two
psychiatrists at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital already have submitted affi-
davits expressing belief that Will
liams is of unsound mind.
Williams, 40, was indicted on first
degree murder charges in the fatal
shootings of Police Pvt. Hubert w.
Estes. So. of the first precinct and
of Ray E. Devendorf, 68, a clerk for
the Committee on Admissions and
Grievances of District Court.
The indictment also charged VII
liams with shooting and wounding
George w. Dalzell, 10, secretary of
the committee, and wounding Cecil
E. Claig. 43, guard in the civil divi-
sion building Of Municipal Court.
Williams was said to have been

ton with his application for ad-

Russia's heavy industry is tagging
so far behind American industrial
might that the United States has
nothing to fear from the Russian
military machine for the next Is
years.
This is the view of Ernest c.
Ropes, retiring chief of the Com
merce Departments Russian Trade
Division. He believes Russia is
"bluf1ng" in her current diplomatic
maneuvering against the United
States.
They have been coming to us for
production know how for the last
30 years or more, and still they are
not UP to our industrial standards, !"
Mr.. Ropes declared in an interview
Mr.. Ropes said his most recent six
week trip through the U. S. S. R. last
summer convinced him that any
Russian threats are empty because
industrially she does not have the
stuff to back up her military
strength.
The white-haired, 70-year -old ex-
pert, who has spent total of 10
years in Russia on various Govern
ment economic missions, said the
Soviets lost six years industrially as
result of the war and their output
is still far below prewar levels.
In such basic industries as steel
production, the bellwether of eco
nomic strength, the Russians are Is
years behind. At least three more
consecutive five-year plans will oe

Hurpers Ferry Residents Fear
New Bridqe Will Isolate Town

through vehicles not desiring to
visit the town.
Mayor Nichols said the Town
Council has requested the roads
commission to reconstruct the
bridge across the Shenandoah River
near where it flows into the Po-
tomac. This bridge was washed out
by the 1886 food. The piers, still
standing, have been pronounced
sound by highway engineers.
BY rebuilding a light bridge here,
Mayor Nichols said, Harpers Ferry
still would remain on the through
route. The combination highway
railway bridge that now serves all
traffic through the town, could then
be abandoned.
Even after the new span is COM
pleted, Harpers Ferry residents will
have about two years to iron out
their difficulties with the State
Roads Commission. 1t is estimated
that it will take that long to COM
plete the road along the far bank
Of the Potomac and Shenandoah
Rivers and build bridge across the
Shenandoah. The abutments for
This bridge, located about mile up
the Shenandoah from Harpers

Crucial Chinese Battle
Reported Shaping Up
BY the Associated Press

PEIPING, Sept. 18.-Quick thrusts
by both Nationalists and Chinese
Communists were reported from
tense Manchuria today as opposing
forces gathered strength for a cru
cial battle.
Government dispatches said more
than 10000 Communists had lunged
into the southwestern corner of
Manchuria from the Inner Mongol-
ian Province of Jehol, striking in
the direction of Suichmg and Hing
chen on the Peiping Mukden rail-
way rtheast of the Great Wall city
Of Shanhaikwan. Fighting was re-
ported in progress 10 miles west of
the rail line.
Nationalists based in Kirin, 60
miles east of Changchun, Manchu-
ria's capital, were reported, mean
while, to have pushed eastward and
captured several points along the
railway to Tunghwa
The Nationalist drive obviously
was testing of Chinese Communist
strength. The opening of the sixth
Red offensive has been awaited un-
easily for weeks.
The consensus among military OBJ
servers here is that the coming nat
tie will be do-or-die struggle
from the standpoint Of the Nation
alists. They say loss of the terri
tory, besides endangering the secur-
ity of North China, might bring
the establishment of puppet buffer
state between China and Russia.

Greek Plan Reported
To Double Army 'sSize
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Sept. 18.-An Informed
source said today the Greek govern
ment would ask the United States
for permission to double the size of
the Greek Army-to about 100000
men.
This informant said a plan ap-
proved by the Supreme Defense
Council last night called for adding
10000 men to the. present army
strength of 10000 and for creation
Of 70,o00-man national guard,
which would be under strict mill
tary control and which would absorb
the present armed peasant organ
ization.
,. Any expansion of the Greek armed
forces would be financed from the
$500, 900 900 American aid program
and hence is subject to American
approval. Chiefs Of both the Amer
ican and British military missions
attended the Defense Council meet
ing last night.
Greek government sources have
been advocating an increase in the
size of the army ever since last April,
when 1t became clear that Greek
forces would be unable to cope with
the guerrillas in the north.
The forces were scattered so thinly
that it was conceded to be almost
futile to try and maneuver the re-
treating guerrilla bands into position
e.
Large numbers of troops are being
used in small defense units for hun
dreds of individual villages, thus re-
ducing the effective fighting strength
of the army.
The new plan apparently envisages
use of the proposed national guard
as force for protecting the villages,
thus freeing the army men for duty
against the guerrillas.
