Experts Find Seepage
OF Gasoline Is Unlikely
To Stop for Some Time

Little prospect of an immediate
end to Arlington's underground
gasoline flow was seen today after
a conference of military, scientific
and county representatives.
The average daily production"
of about 200 gallons of gasoline in
abandoned wells will continue until
the hidden reservoir is exhausted,
even though the origin of the leak
is discovered, according to investi-
gators.
The conference was held yester-
day afternoon between D. L. Newell
of the Navy's Bureau of Aero
nautics; Maj. Roy w. Whitson OF
the Army-Navy Petroleum Board;
R. E. Streets and Donald B. Brooks
of the Bureau of Standards; Maj.

Fort Beivoir and Arlington County
Manager Frank c. Hanrahan.
A suggestion that radioactive ma
terials be placed in the suspected
tanks in the neighborhood of Fifth
and North Pollard streets, and the
.course of the flow be traced by
Geiger counters, has been abarl-
:doned, according to one of the con-
slltants. A suggested use OF dye in
the tanks might require as much
as three months to determine which,
if any, is now leaking or had leaked
in the past, it was stated.
Engineers today began to pump
out three unused tanks-each OF
1900 gallons capacity-owned by
the Washington, Virginia & Mary
land Coach Co., preparatory to
making a compressed air test to de-
termine if they could have been
responsible for the leak. The tanks
were filled with water whena they
were taken out OF use for gasoline
storage.
Clifton Carroll of the Standard
Oil CO. was conducting the air
pressure tests. With him were
Sanitary Engineer Norbert Melnick
and Fire Chief A. c. Scheffel, rep
resenting the county.
