Per Capita Wafer Use
is 200 Gallons a Day

Two-hundred gallons Of water
are being consumed daily this month
to- ever3 esident 81 #WHhington,
according to Water Supt. David v.
Auld, who said a new record for the
month may be set
Mr.. Auld said water consumption
in Washington during the first three
weeks of the month averaged 49,
100000 gallons. According to the
July l, 1947, estimate by the Census
Bureau, 861, 900 persons live in the
District.
The superintendent said the all
time record was set in August, 1947,
when 175,0O0,000 gallons of water
were consumed each day in the Dis
trict.
The total supplied so far this
month by the water department
averages 1875 100000 gallons a day,
however. Nearby Virginia has ac-
counted for 100000 gallons.
Mr.. Auld said the water system
here is capable of supplying "at
least" 205 100000 gallons a day. He
attributed the record use of water
to the recent hot weather and the
increase in building construction.
Steps are being taken to increase
the water supply. Mr.. Auld said
bids would be opened Monday for
new pumps and electric motors at
the Bryant street pumping station,
which is undergoing a $2,000,000 re-
modelling, Improvements are also
being made at the Dalecarlia and
Mcmillan Park plants.

Indorses Roosevelt Policies
By the kssociotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, July 27.-James
P. Hart, jr., of Roanoke, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
the Senate, today called himself a
Roosevelt Democrat wlsD could be
counted on to continue the late
Presidents policies and to bring
them up to date.
Mr.. Hart spoke early today in a
Transcribed broadcast which he ad-
dressed to farmers of Virginia. The
broadcast was carried by radio sta
tions in nine localities over the
State.
I'm this State of Virginia for over
20 years we have been ruled by men
who call themselves Democrats but
who, throughout the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, did all they could to
hamper the leadership" he said.
In spite of that, most of you
know in your hearts that Roosevelt
was the best friend the American
farmer ever had. and if I become
your Senator you can count on me
to vote to continue his policies and
bring them up to date all the time, -
ne added
Mr.. Hart, who is opposing Senator
Robertson in the August Demo-
cratic primary, accused Virginia leg
islators, "in spite of their Demo-
cratic heritage" of being "Repub-

Currency Reform Hits
Breweries in Reich;
10 Consider CLOSING
BY the Assoeicfsd Press

FRANKFURT, Germany. July AZ.
Currency reform In Western Ger.
many has hit the breweries hardest
and the threat of unemployment
hangs over several hundred thou
sand workers.
At least 100000 brewers may lose
their jobs If restrictions on brewing
of real German beer are not lifted.
The Hessian Brewers Association IN
an emergency meeting resolved
unanimously to close all 70 brew
cries in the state if help is not
forthcoming.
Germany, once renowned for It's
beers, has been drinking only a
weak imitation of the foanfy brew
since 1t began to feel the pinch of
war in 1914. Production of real beer
was stopped by Hitler. Barley and
wheat went to cereal factories in
stead of breweries.
Substitute Is Inferior.
A substitute brew, made from
skinned milk residues, looked like
beer but 1t wasn't. It had very little
alcohol content-and not much
taste, either For lack of other bev-
erages. breweries were able to stay
IN business, however.
But with currency reform, the sit
uation changed drastically. Wines,
champagne and even hard liquor
suddenly became, available in large
quantities. Meanwhile, the beer
mugs remain empty on dusty bar
shelves. Nobody pays 80 new pfen-
nigs 90 cents for tasteless brew
without a kick" when glass Of
wine is sold for so pfennigs 15
cents).
Since June 20. when the money
reform went into effect, breweries
have not sold a single barrel Of
their large stocks of "ersatz" beer,
the association reported. Without
new revenues, their financial re-
serves are dwindling rapidly.
Brewers Demand Action.
In their resolution addressed to
the German government authorities
the 70 breweries in Hesse demand
immediate steps to permit them to
resume genuine beer production.
with the old time ingredients-hops
and barley.
Similar cries for help have been
voiced by the big Bavarian brew
cries.
The only real beer made in Ger
many today is for export, or for the
occupation forces. The ingredients
are imported.
Beer is liquid bread" the brew
ers say, claiming that only small
percentage of bread grains are
needed to keep the breweries going
and the beer drinkers happy.

Hearing on Dr.. Condor
Will Be Held Soon,
Mcdowell DiscIoses
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Representative Mcdowell, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania said today
the House Committee on Un-Amer-
ican Activities plans to hold hear
ings soon on its charge that DR.. Ed
ward U. Condor "is one Of the
weakest links In our atomic secur-
ity."
DR.. Condor, director of the Ma
tional Bureau Of Standards, has de-
MED the charge and demanded pub
lie hearings to answer them Mr.
Mcdowell said these will be held as
soon as Chairman Thomas of New
Jersey is permitted by his physician
to return to Washington.
AL We need Is the doctors per-
mission for Mr.. Thomas to come
back" Mr.. Mcdowell told reporters
whom he summoned to his Office to
make the announcement.
Mr.. Mcdowell expressed the opin-
ion that the committee labelling Of
DR.. Condor in its preliminary re-
port last spring is "almost a perfect
description" Since then, the Atomic
Energy Commission has investigated
DR.. Condor and cleared him to ex-
anime atomic bomb information.
No Charge of Disloyalty.
The committees closed sessions,
Mr.. Mcdowell said, have produced
testimony to support the original
charge-which included statement
that the Government scientist had
associated knowingly or unknow-
ingly" with suspected Russian spy
There has been no charge that
DR.. Condor is disloyal," Mr.. Nc
Doweu said, and l don't think
there will be. However, he has
associated with known Communists
and other persons who we believe
are espionage agents"
Mr.. Mcdowell said the Atomic
Energy Commission did not ask the
Un-American Activities Committee
for any information before clearing
DR.. Condor, and added:
Asked No Informa ton.
Mr.. Mcdowell said the commission
did not ask the Un-Amerlcan AcIlV-
tiles Committee for any informa-
ton before clearing DR.. Condor.
and added:
They perhaps don't know what
we know, or if they do and still
cleared him they should be investi-
gated themselves. We asked the
commission for the sources of their
information, but of course they re-
fused to give them to U.s."
President Truman ordered all
Government agencies at the time
of the committees original blast
against DR.. Condor not to turn
over any confidential files to Con-
gress. The House group had asked
w. Averell Hartman, then Secre-
tary of Commerce. for loyalty
board report on DR.. Condor. Mr..
Hartman refused.

GPO WAGE DRIVE-It's ex-
pected that the 1900 printers at
the Government Printing ONCE
will ask for Is cents an hour pay
raise, starting in December, when
they will become eligible for further
wage adjustments.
The request will be based on the
reported $3.50 a week increase offer
made by Washington commercial
printing companies to their en-
ployes.
Should GPO printers get a pay
boost-and there's very good
chance that the Joint Congressional
Committee on Printing will approve
wage adjustment-this will open
the way for pay raises for other
GPO craft employees, as we'll as for
workers in the Bureau of Printing

STRAIGHT TALK-This COL
umn's criticism of the Civil Service
Commissions annual efficiency
rating conferences for barring the
participation Of rank-and-file en-
ployes has been seconded by George
M. Moore, the counsel of the House
Civil Service Committee.
There must have been consider
able embarrassment and squirming
among commission and various per-
sonnel officials today at the opening
of the conference in the Interior
Departments auditorium, when Mr..
Moore, the opening speaker, de-
clared:
"Our success in achieving better
efficiency rating system in all its
phases will, in large measure, be
in direct relation to the encourage
ment and acceptance of new ideas,
particularly those from the rank
and file of Federal employees"
This is one thing that the con-
ference thus far has refused to do.
Apparently those who run the Gov
ernment's efficiency rating setup
either are unwilling or afraid to
hear criticisms and suggestions on
how to improve the rating system.
In his speech today, Mr.. Moore
also suggested that the possibility
be explored of permitting employees
to examine their efficiency ratings
in advance and to propose self
rating before the final mark is given.
Also, Mr.. Moore declared, For
ward looking personnel officers in
private industry have adopted a
procedure under which employees
are rated by a narrative statement
in the supervisors own words, in
stead Of being restricted by the
stereotyped form now in use in the
Federal Government"
And the personnel officials were
given this pointed reminder by Mr.
Moore:
I'm most efficiency rating appeals
there is the element of tragedy and
misunderstanding. BY working out
proper solutions to the many prob
lens presented in each appeal, life
can be rehabilitated, family
afforded greater security, persons
self-respect restored and the Gov
ernment service made better"
