Farmers Aid Asked
In Curbing Pollution
OF Wafer by Mud
SpseioI Dispofeh 10 The Ssor

BALTIMORE, May 78.-Assert-
ing that 1850, 900 tons Of top soil
is carried away annually by the
Potomac. harold D. Kemp. vice
chairman Of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin, asked farmers yesterday to
think about prevention of water
pollution by mud.
I'VE need the help of every
farming interest" Mr.. Kemp told
the State conference of the Pro-
duction and Marketing Admins
tration.
mot only do we need the vita
Minis and minerals which are be-
ing wasted" he continued, "but
mud. silt or soils must be pre-
vented from excessively polluting
the streams in our watershed"
Mud Removal Costly.
The cost Of removing mud far
exceeds all other costs in making
water suitable for use, he declared.
The amount of topsoil which
checks show passes Washington
every year is enough to cover
1900 acres to a depth OF six
inches. Mr.. Kemp said.
He cautioned that not all the
blame for destruction of fish
should be laid to domestic and
industrial waste. declaring that
pollution of the water by soil is
a contributor.
Dudley c. Aist, chief Of the
programs operations division Of
the State PIMA. called for an all
out effort to curb erosion of Mary
lands shoreline, being eaten
away at the rate Of hundreds Of
acres annually"
Big Southern Maryland Problem.
He said farm soil erosion is
greater In Southern Maryland
than in any like area in the Ma
ton, despite the fact that 135, 900
pounds Of cover crops seed were
sown In 1947. 238.000 pounds in
l948 and an estimated 500, 900
pounds scheduled to be used this
year.
Two speakers discussed the vol
ume Of control Government should
exercise over the farmer and his
products.
Wilson Heaps. president Of the
Maryland Farm Bureau. said
Government programs must be
confined to educational assist
ance and limited controls for
emergencies only"
r. e. Moody. assistant TO the
manager Of the Commodity Credit
Corp, felt the individual farmer
cannot solve the problem Of how
much he viii pay for things he
needs or how much he win get for

D.C.Heads Study
New Protests on
Egress Law
Cost to Owners to
Neon Confiscotion,
Commissioners Told

The Commissioners again have
under advisement the contro-
versial fire prevention regulations
proposed for the city's older build
ings following repeated pleas for
postponement lof any enforce
lnent at a hearing yesterday.
Much opposition to the new
regulations, the so-called egress
laws. developed at yesterday hear
ing and at an earlier one Monday.
John H. Connaughton, presi-
dent Of the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations. asked the
Commissioners to delay any
change in the present building
code for Eat least q year." Guy
Timer. representing the Fedora
ton of Civic Associations, asked
for six months time In which
the regulations could be studied.
Adopted In 1914.
The regulations were adopted
In 1914 To become effective In
1945. Enforcement Of the regu-
1ations in regard to building
existing before that time has been
postponed, but the regulations for
new construction have been In
effect since 1916.
Last year the egress laws were
rewritten and substantially re-
laxed. The hearings this week
were to hear last-minute sug-
gestions before the Commissioners
began enforcing them as they,
theoretically. have been In force
since January !.
The Commissioners were un-
able to give an estimate Of when
q decision would be forthcoming.
Opposition Predicted.
Mr.. Connaughton said that al
though the Federation had not
taken official action on the mat
ter, he was certain I'VE will be
violently opposed" at the next
federation meeting.
He said the regulations would
cause expenditure of considerable
money and, in some cases, so
much that 1t would amount to
conflscation of the property.
Morris c. Bishop, treasurer Of
the Washington Property Owners
Association, testified the regula-
tions should be limited to places
OF public assembly and to places
containing incapacitated persons.
The "overburdening expenses"
would result in the conf1scation of
much property, he added.
His association also asked for AM
extension of time so the laws could
be studied.
Burden ON Small Places.
Charles j. Rush, executive s>s-
retary of the Washington Hgal
Estate Board. said his group
wanted a six-month delay so a
study could be undertaken.
Paul j. Miller, representing the
Washington Guest House Associa-
tion, said the main hardships
would fall on the owners of small
rooming houses and apartments.
"The regulations will bankrupt
the majority Of the small property
owners in the CITY," he declared.
I'VE can't expect to rebuild Wash
ington completely"
The regulations as proposed
would require extensive remodel
ing of most of Washington's older
buildings. Stairways would have
to be inclosed, windows and doors
fireproofed. additional exits pro-
vided and numerous other changes
made.

Next Week on
Gaming Arrests
| Government Pins Hope
| On Showing MorshoIs
| Sow Low Violations

Fresh attacks on the arrest Of
more than a dozen men on gam
bling charges are expected next
week as defense counsel continue
their arguments that the Govern
ment had no right 10 search es-
adjustments or make arrests In
many Of the cases growing out of
the mass raids On March IS.
Both Judge Henry A. Sehwein-
haut and Judge Edward NJ. Cur
ran OF District Court plan TO hear
further arguments Tuesday on
motions to suppress evidence and
return seized property In the gam
bling cases.
Faced with the possibility that
search warrants may be ruled In
valid either because they were
served In Maryland or because
they were too old. the Government
appears to be pinning its faith on
the argument that arrests are le-
gal when marshals actually see the
law being violated.
Raiders Sought "Frankie."
During arguments on q motion
to suppress evidence In the case
Of william (Snagsl Lewis yester-
day. 1t was brought out that the
Government had a search war
rant when the establishment at
1910 Forty-sixth street. Bladens-
burg. Md. was raided. but the ar
rest warrant was only for a man
known as frankie" Instead OF
getting frankie" deputy mar
shals arrested II other men. In
cluding Lewis.
Deputy Marshal Francis Nc
Cathran testified he was at the
Bladensburg place when a fellow
raider. Deputy Marshal Edward j.
Geraci, jr.. took horse race bets
over the telephone from a number
Of callers who gave Washington
telephone numbers.
The deputy also testified that
while the raid was in progress five
men came In carrying brown
paper bags containing money and
numbers slips.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney william HitZ argued that 1t /
made no difference II the raiders
were looking for frankie" as long
as they saw others violating Dis
trict gaming laws. FRANKIE" was
later identified as Frank Billeci
and surrendered subsequently. /
Ruling Awaits Quiz. /
Judge Curran declined to rule
on the motion until the defense
has had an opportunity to cross
the deputy marshal Tues
day. The judge said it may be
necessary to hand down a written
opinion because of the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the
search and seizure In this case"
In Judge Schweinhaut's court |
Defense Counsel Charles E. Ford
argued the Government had no
affidavit on which to base the ar
rest warrant In the case Of Fred
erick Whiteoak, another Of the
So defendants indicted by the spe-
cial gambling grand Jury.
Mr.. Hitz called to the witness
stand Dale Adams, consultant TO
the United States attorneys office.
who conducted the search and ar
rest of Whiteoak. /
Cross-examined on details by
Mr.. Ford, MIR. Adams frequently
said II don't remember" When
Mr.. Ford asked him If he had any
notes with which to refresh his
memory. Mr.. Adams said he had
not made any notes.
Judge Schweinhaut, who con-
tinued the case until Tuesday, al
ready has indicated that he
thought six months was too long
a period between the time of an
alleged offense and the issuance
of a search warrant. The Gov
ernment. therefore. is relying on
the arrest warrant and the search
incident to Whiteoak's arrest.

Ship Raid Conference
Fails 10 Find Motive
For Tip on Gambling

All was quiet along the potomac
today in Prince Georges County's
war on steamboat gambling which
backflred to the embarrassment of
county authorities when a raid on
the S. S. Mount Vernon taking the
Southwest Harbor Lions Club on
a charity cruise netted respectable
businessmen instead Of profess
sional gamblers.
But one thing was agreed on
yesterday to the satisfaction of
county authorities and officials of
the Wilson line, which operates the
steamer, in a two-hour conference
in the Office Of the Prince Georges
prosecutor In Marlboro. They con-
cluded that 1t was 65-year-old
Eppa Dodson. the relief master of
the ship. who asked the Prince
Georges County police to make the
raid on the steamer Wednesday
night.
Capt. Dodson was not present at
the conference. although A. Gwynn
Bowie. States attorney of Prince
Georges County, had asked par
ticularly of the line officials that
they bring him along.
Dodson Denies Calling Police.
Herbert Hail. the regular cap
tain Of the ship. attended. War
rem E. Magee. attorney for the
line, explained to the press after
ward that Capt. Dodson was out
on the river in the Mount Vernon
on an excursion and that it was
only possible to bring one of the
two masters assigned to the ship.
Capt. Hall. he said. knew nothing
about the raid until 1t occurred.
The conclusion of the confer
ence was not to the satisfaction
Of Capt. Dodson, however. Met
at the Maine avenue wharf by a
reporter when he brought the
Mount Vernon back from her
afternoon cruise. the little white
haired mariner continued to deny
with great indignation that he
had called the police and threat
ened to sue the newspapers II they
printed any more about it.
How are you going to prove
it?" he demanded belligerently.
Mr.. Magee acted as spokesman
when the several Washington re-
porters who had been waiting out
side were called ipto Mr.. Bowie S
Office in Marlboro.
No Idea Of Motive.
He said he had not the slight
est idea Of Capt. Dodson's motive
in calling the police. He said he
felt certain that Capt. Hall had
no knowledge Of the raid until
he was ordered by the police to
dock his boat at Fort Washington
Wednesday night.
AS for Capt. Dodson's reasons
for making the call, MIR. Magee
said, the company is beginning
q thorough investigation into that
angle of the affair.
Present at the conference were
Mr.. Bowie, Mr.. Magee. r. r.
Hyman. Washington agent for the
Wilson line, a Delaware corpora
ton; Ralph Brown. superintend-
ent of Prince Georges County
police, and Prince Georges Detec-
tive Richard A. Pearson.
Detective Pearson told newspa-
permen he had checked the call,
and that 1t came from the home
Of Capt. Dodson's sister, with
whom the mariner lives.
Won on First Spin.
According to the police, Capt.
Dodson called the police station
at Hyattsville Wednesday after
noon and informed them that pro-
fessional gamblers were operating
on the Mount Vernon. The call
was taken by Louis A. Weaver.
q desk clerk. He referred 1t to
Supt. Brown. who referred 1t In
turn 30 Detective Pearson.
Detective Pearson said he came
into Washington and conferred
with Capt. Dodson. The detective
