ton bring together specialists in
these various fields from both Fed
eral and State agencies. They
have been able, in the past. to re-
solve the viewpoints held by vari-
Gus States into a working arrange
ment aimed at common goal-a
cleaner river.
The Potomac commissions one
weakness lies in it's lack of powers
to take direct action. It must de-
pend on the individual action of
each State member, and may serve
only as an advisory or educational
agency.
While it has moved slowly, the
commissions influence has become
strong in the basin. 1t has
brought a better understanding
between Maryland and West Vir-
ginia in the upper basin, and a
greater participation among In
dustries to cooperate in cleansing
the river.
It's influence also has been con-
siderable In the lower area where
it has takep a direct hand in ad-
vocating plans for pollution abate-
ment in the Metropolitan Area.
With the exception of pollu-
ton abatement, the Potomac pro-
vides a virgin field for basic de-
velopment planning. There are
no projects now that would have
to be re-examined in the light OF
basin-wide development. While
partial surveys have been made
by the engineers and by the Agri-
culture Department, there has
been no attempt to make an in
ventory of the basins resources
and to formulate a plan for their
development.
Under a co-opers tive arrange
ment, with the Federal Govern
ment. assuming its rightful duty
of leadership, the Potomac might
serve as a national model for
river development.

No doubt, from the sterner
civic point of view, it is wrong
to be thus "escapist." But
Christmas grows bigger and

comes more and more essential

serenity. Our long, sleepy

CunuduL Labor
and Politics
By Robson Block

MONTREAL.-Why is 1t that
Canadian labor, dominant in scores
OF constituencies, stands clear of
political action?
In principle, most of the work.
ers' unions believe that the condi-
tion of the workers can be set
right only through a strong labor
bloc in the federal and provincial
legislatures. In practice, however,
"a labor candidate rarely wins a
victory even in districts controlled
by union membership.
The explanation has to do, in
part. with the ingrained prefer
ence of all classes of Canadians
for one or other Of the "old line"
groups, Liberal or Conservative.
The history of third parties has
at no time encouraged the setting
up OF new camps, and a score of
such movements has diversified
the House of Commons at Ottawa
and then passed into oblivion.
Even a greater deterrent than
the two-party habit of voters in
this country is the split labor
strength into two main national
bodies-the Trades and Labor
Congress and the Congress of
Labor, each with about equal
strength of nearly 100000 ad-
herents. Beyond the jurisdiction
of either of these congresses are
the powerful railway unions,
allied closely with those of the
United States. Indeed, 40 per
cent of Canadian unionists have
such international affiliations
although their affairs are sub
stantially free of any foreign in
f1uence. However, the fact that
no labor party functions political
ly in the United States blunts the
incentive to follow a contrary
course in Canada.
In addition to this criss-cross-
ing of loyalties, characteristic of
unionism in Canada, there is a
further bar to any effort at politi-
cal unity in the separatist nature
of the Quebec Province labor
groups. The Catholic Fedora ton
OF Labor, which is largely in
control of that part of the
country. segregates the French
speaking workers on a basis on
language and religion. Thus the
political impact of Canadian labor
is limited to lobbying, supporting
known friends in the established
parties. and educational propa-
ganda for more advanced legisla-
ton.

all other economic and cultural
problems.
And more important, the COM

be, then, methods established of

Government itself takes part in

1t is interesting to visualize the
future development of the Poto-
mac River Basin according to a
broad, overall plan. and to COM
pare this pattern of development
with a plan offered in the spring
Of 1945 by the Army engineers.
Few residents of the Potomac
basin will forget the proposal of
the engineers to construct Ia
multiple-purpose dams on the
main stem of the Potomac and its
principle tributaries.
So strong was the opposition
from basin residents that the plan
was rejected almost Immediately
Opposition was so strong that the
good features of the plan were
never fully realized. This expert
ence proved the desirability of
wide participation in basin de-
velopment.
The fault was not entirely that
of the Army engineers, but rather
with the lack of policy for basin
development. In drawing their
14-dam plans. the engineers were

the morning after Christmas he
was expected to be more pune
tual than ever at the Office, or
a little earlier, just to make
up for wasted time. Things
flared up a little on Twelfth
Night, an occasion which has
dwindled in public affection
and is now hardly noticed. But
the long Christmas Snoozo,
which leaves most of our streets
empty and silent for several
days, was not for our Victorian
ancestors.
We, in fact. have elaborated
Christmas to an extent which
would have staggered Dickens.
Preparations for it now go on for
about half a year. Christmas
numbers of magazines are
planned at midsummer and
Christmas books. with the pres
ent congestion of printing and
binding, are an all-year pre-
occupation of the publishers.
An Escape Period
Pantomimes are not quite 50
long in performance, which is a
blessing to most parents. But
they certainly have longer runs
and sometimes run on almost
till Easter. BY the time Dick
Wilmington has finally put off
his pheasant-feather cap and
long suede boots, the managers
are deciding as to what young
lady will wear them in the fol-
lowing December.
The cause of the great Christ
mas spread-over is partly and
frankly commercial. Every
salesman naturally looks to
Christmas sales and is eager to
stimulate that supposedly hilari
Gus exchange of books and cal
endars, cigars and slippers and
haberdashery of all kinds. But,
as I said, the public is not just
cozened or bullied into this.
They are ripe for the persuasion.
Even the soaring prices of our
time drag the willing purchasers
in undismayed pursuit.
The longer the fast, the more
welcome the feast. No British
children now remember what it
was to buy sweets in bulk; not
for II years has the British
housewife been able to order
joint of the size and quality
desired. In a world of take
what you = can = get Christmas
does not provide the old gay
surfeit; but it is a break in the
gray monotony of making do.

LOfTDON.-The darker grows

which, at least in its role Of
secular holiday. grows larger

get into the red robes and the
cotton wool boards of Father
Christmas in the toy fairs OF
the great department stores,
seem to start earlier and earli-
er. In the middle of the au-
tumn apprehensive paragraphs
about the turkey supply begin
to appear and the public is re-
assured about the number Of
little conifers available for do
mestic afforestation.
There IS no need to complain
sourly about OVERRIDING Christ
mas. If the public did not like
fussing over Christmas presents
from the middle of autumn on
ward. the shopkeepers would
not waste money and materials
on the catalogues and illumina-
tions. the tinsel and the trim
mings; nor would they keep the
mummers of Santa Claus on
their payrolls week after week.
But it is curious to reflect how
Christmas has swollen. Shake

posed to have glorified and, as
we say, "put across" Christmas
in the biggest possible way, was
dealing with a feast which would

some ways meager by our stand

and widespread donation.
There was no general giving
of presents then. When the
Pickwick party went to Dingley
Dell they took some victuals.
oysters which sound good and
appropriate, and a large cod
fish which sounds extremely
dull and un- Christmaslike to us.
But they did not load the coach
with gifts for general dispersal.
On Christmas eve they feasted
long and royalty, but there was
no general handing round of
parcels in decorative wrappings
and so none of the awful heart
burnings over persons forgotten.
Moreover, the Pickwickians

The production of hydroelectric
power seemed the only means OF
obtaining a justifiable return.
And so the dams grew larger

tural land in the basin were rele-
gated to lake bottoms. The
Potomac Basin, on paper, became

While it is dangerous" to men

Potomac, there appears little
doubt in the minds of students OF
basin planning that hydroelectrie
power development will be a part
of the rivers future.
Flood-Control View
Power projects, however. should
be carefully planned and designed
to meet the needs for increased
demands. 1t is the opinion o1
many that Potomac floods coulc
be controlled by integrated prof.
ects on the upper tributaries

Rejects Hungarian Request to Reduce Budapest Staff

WASHINGTON, (P)-The U. S. Saturday rejected Hungarian re- quest htat it consider reducing its diplomatic staff at Budapest. Ii also accused communist Hungary of damaging relations between Hungary and the United States.
 The department announced that an American note was delivered by the legation in Budapest to the foreign affairs ministry. It was a reply to communist government note of Feb. 23, asking that United States consider slashing the lega- ton rolls.
 The Hungarian request was bas- ed on communist spy charges against the legation made during the recent "trial" of American businessman Robert Vogeler. The United States again assailed those charges as "preposterous false hoods"
 Because of the nature of the Vogeler trial and the "groundlesS charges" against the legation staff, the American note said, the in QuirieS in the Hungarian note as to whether the United States would consider reducing it's lega- ton staff were improper and ir- relevant"
 This government also refused to consider revoking its ban against the travel of U. s. citizens in Hun gary, affirmed its intention to keep closed Hungarian consulates in New York and Cleveland, and rejected charges that Hungarian employees of the Budapest lega- ton are mostly spies or "fascists." |"

l9-Year-OId Goes On Stabbing Spree

NEW YORK, (P) - A 19-year- old youth, just released from hospital for the criminal insane, slaughtered four strangers and stabbed three other persons in ten-minute rampage through crowded Brooklyn streets yester- day.
 The mad knifer, William Jones, a Negro, finally was beaten into submission with gun butts after police pursued him along three blood trailed blocks.
 Jones, turned loose as sane last Wednesday, wouldn't tell police what made him grab a 14-inch carving knife from restaurant and rage through the tenement district slashing at the heart of every passerby.
 The four who died were white men whom Jones apparently never had seen before.
 But one of Jones' other victims, a 20-year-old Negro, was a friend and neighbor. Jones cut him as the victim raised a hand in greet ing.
 Jones slashed the seven without warning-the way Howard Unruh crazed 28-year-old war veteran, killed 13 persons with gunfire in Camden, N. J., last September.
 Terror spread through the Brooklyn neighborhood as reports of a madman yielding a knife dripping with blood came from one street--and then another.

Mai. Jordan Insists Russia Got Much Atomic Material

WASHINGTON, (P)-G. Racey Jordan. a former air force major, says that from 1922 to 1944 Rus Sia got millions of pounds of American lend-lease materials he now knows could be used in pro- ducing an atomic bomb.
 Jordan told the House un-Amer- ican activities committee Friday the materials were cadmium, gra- phite for furnaces, and aluminium tubes, plus thorium.
 He said he got his figures from a complete record of lend-lease shipments which a Russian officer gave him at his request.
 For a time during the war, Jor- dan was stationed at the Great Falls, Mont, air base. That was at one end of an aerial lend-lease pipeline that flowed to Russia by way of Alaska. Jordan said it was his job to help the Russians get what they needed.
 Jordan was making. his second appearance before the House com mittee Last December he testified that while he was at Great Falls, the Russians sent out shipments of uranium and heavy water, plus big amounts of diplomatic mail and baggage.
 No Republican members of the committee were on hand to hear him then. They asked that he be recalled to repeat and amplify his testimony.
 Since then the committee has heard numerous other witnesses tell of wartime shipments of atomic materials to Russia.
 Jordan said Saturday that he is standing by his testimony that he once had telephone conversation with the late Harry l.. Hopkins, in which he says Hopkins told him to expedite a uranium ship ment.
 He said he wanted to change the date of the conversation from 1924 to 1943 on the basis of later information.
