South Africa 10 Recruit
Air Unit for Korean War
BY the Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG, UNION OF
SOUTH AFRICA, Aug. 5.-South
Africa has called for air force vol
unteers to make up a fighter
squadron to go to Korea.
The cabinet, which decided yes
terday to recruit the squadron,
also voted to expand the regular
South African armed forces. No
figures were given on the size of
the proposed volunteer air force
or expansion of the regular units.
The government has made anti
Communism a main policy issue,
but heretofore contended it would
be impracticable to send military
aid to such a distant place as
Korea.
The announcement said, "Liai-
son has been maintained with the
United States to ascertain whether
there is any assistance other than
of military character the Union
could make available. Since it
now appears there is no alternative
assistance, the government has
decided special efforts should be
made to render military aid"

Recalled Officers Denied
More Money for Uniforms
BY the Associated Press

Reserve and National Guard
officers who have once received
the $3.50 Government allowance
for uniform purchases will get
no more on being called to active
duty.
Officers who haven't received
the allowance, however, will be
entitled to it; those who have re-
ceived only part will be entitled
to the balance when they are
called up.
The uniform allowance is pro-
vided by law for National Guard
officers in Federal service and
for reserve officers who are on
active duty.
Most of the guard and reserve
officers now being called to active
duty collected the allowance dur
ing World War II. If such officers
find their old uniforms worn out
and have to buy new ones, they
will have to pay for them out of
their own pockets.
Uniforms worn during the war
are still generally acceptable. The
Air Force has adopted new blue
uniforms, but its old style uni
forms may continue to be worn
until July /, 1852.
Enlisted men of all the Armed
Services are outftted at Govern
ment expense.

Chemicals
Cause Of Water
Contamination
But No Danger Exists
For Consumers,
AIexundriuns Told

The Alexandria water supply
has been contaminated by chemi-
Gals dumped into a storm sewer
at a nearby Army installation but
there is no danger to consumers,
officials said.
Numerous complaints reached
the Alexandria Water Co., police,
and the Health Department yes
terday about a strong odor and
taste in the water. At first COM
pany and military authorities were
reluctant to talk, but this is what
the public information Office Of
the Military District Of Washing
ton says happened.
On Thursday afternoon a detail
of men at Cameron Station, the
Army quartermaster depot on
Duke street, just outside the city,
was sent to dispose of four 55-
gallon barrels containing oil. shell
lac, lacquer and diSinfectant.
Told to Dump in Swamp.
The men were instructed to
empty the contents in a swamp
in the watershed of but some dis
tance from Holmes Run. which
serves as open conduit from the
Bancroft reservoir to the. COM
pany's filtration plant.
The men emptied the barrels
into a storm sewer some dis
tance" from the creek, thinking
that the soil would dissipate it or
filter it out before it reached
Holmes Run. according to the
Army.
When the contamination was
discovered, a detail was sent to
recover the waste and most of it
was destroyed by pumping, the
Army said.
Howard Richards, manager of
the company, described the sub
stance causing the complaints as
a strong chemical, phenol. He
said the water was safe for drink
ing. however. He admitted it had
made its way into the Holmes Run
water supply but said the trouble
was detected before much of the
foreign matter got into the clear
water settling basin near the
George Washington National Ma
sonic Memorial in Alexandria.
Removed by Flushing.
He said the substances were re-
moved by flushing out the system
at the filter plant but that small
quantity had gone into the water
system and probably would not
disappear for another day or two.
The company soon will aban-
don the Bancroft reservoir and
use q new lake at Occoquan as a
source Of supply. Lake Bancroft
will become a private real estate
development.
Before the Army admitted what
had happened. callers to the city
Health Department were told the
unpleasant water flavor was caused
by disinfectants being used as the
city started to shift it's water sup
ply from Lake Bancroft to Occo-
Quan.

District 10 MicrofiIm
Important Records as
Precaution for Attack

| Plans for microfilming impor-
tant city records for safekeeping
in case the District Is attacked
were disclosed at the District
Building yesterday.
The Commissioners sent out a
memorandum to depar m n t
heads, requesting that they study
their civil defense needs in prep
aration for recommendations to
the city heads and the director of
civil defense when they are re-
quested.
The officials were advised that
$62,700 of the $290,0O0 request
pending in Congress for civil de-
fense here during fiscal 1851 is
for miscellaneous purposes, in
Guiding microfilming.
This microt1lming would be sep
arate from that now being done to
save the space coupled by some of
the city's bulky records.
1t. Col. Thomas J. Hayes, Sd,
assistant engineer commissioner,
pointed out that among the rec
ords to be safeguarded presumably
would be plats tof underground
water, sewer and utility connec-
tions.
Films of original records would
be transferred to a safe storage
place, possibly in some small town.
Col. Hayes said a survey has
not been made of what records
should come under the micro
filming program.
The Commissioners have not re-
leased details of the proposed ex-
penditure of the $290,0O0. Al
large part of it. however, is for
the directors staff, establishment
of a headquarters and the setting
up of a warning net.
Part of the $62,700 is for train
ing purposes.

Sc Fare Boost
Becomes Effective
Unless Protested
Within 20 Days

A scent general fare increase
between Washington and Virginia
on Alexandria, Bancroft and
Washington Transit Co. lines has
been recommended by Interstate
Commerce Commission Examiner
Henry C. Lawton.
Mr.. Lawton made his recon-
mendation to the full commission
yesterday. Any exceptions to his
f1nding-that the company is
urgently in need of additional
revenue-must be filed within 20
days. Unless the required excep-
tions are filed, the order becomes
that of the commission itself.
The recommended increase is
approximately equal to the one
recently granted by the ICC to
the Washington Virginia Mary
land Coach Co., officials ex-
planned. The latter carrier also
received a general scent fare in
crease on it's interstate lines.
The increase recommended by
Mr.. Lawton also is in line with
that recently granted A. B. & w.
by the Virginia State Corporation
Commission. That body allowed
a general scent increase on fares
within Virginia on the company's
lines.
Pentagon Case Pending.
Still remaining to be decided,
however, is the So-called Penta-
gon fare case, between Washing
ton and the nearby Government
installations. Mr.. Lawton recent
~ heard that case also. The
A. B. & w. Arnold Lines and
the Capital Transit Co. are parties
to it. They want the So-called
joint fare abolished and the pres
ent 10-cent cash fare raised to
Is cents.
In his findings in the A. B. & w.
case yesterday, Mr.. Lawton had
this to say:
The evidence as a whole in
dicates that respondent (the
A. B. & W. is in dire need of
an immediate substantial increase
in revenue.
"This can only be obtained
through greatly increased traffic
or substantially higher fares. In
the light of respondents expert
ence in the past two years, there
appears to be small likelihood Of
its traffic increasing, except pos
sibly as a result of the present
international situation becoming
more acute
Annandale Fare.
Examiner Lawton found the
proposed fares, except those
proposed to and from AMMAN
dale, and the 60-cent fare between
Washington and Fort Belvoir, "do
not appear to exceed maximum
reasonable fares"
He said that, although AMMAN
dale, from the standpoint of dis
tance, probably should be in the
30-cent fare zone, the increase
proposed after the long main
tenance of the present 2O-cent
fare appears excessive. Mr.. Law
ton said a fare of Is cents would
be reasonable to and from An
nandale.
Attorney S. Harrison Kahn sue
cessfully pleaded for fare in
creases for the company. The
proposed increases were opposed
by the Arlington County Board,
the Arlington Better Government
League and several civic interests
served by the company's lines.
The company proposes to raise
the price of tokens from two for
Is cents to four for so cents.
