Emergency Cited.
Both Maryland and Virginia
suburbs buy their water from the
District, using the Districts sup
ply system.
There have been recent stories
about the shortages of the Dis
trict's water supply but the testi-
mony before the Bates Subcom-
mittee threw new light on how
close the city came last summer
to emergency measures.
Chief Engineer Schmidt re-
ported that on last July 20 the
amount of water consumed was
81 per cent in excess of the capa-
city of the present filtration
plants. And during two weekly
periods, other testimony showed,
the usage exceeded filter capacity
once by as much as 13 per cent.
How did the District get by
those periods? Only because the
water in the reservoirs in the dis
tribution system was enough to
cover demands, officials explained.
And the level in the reservoirs
did not drop low enou~tl to fc-ce
emergency waters saving steps,
officials explained, only because
Of several fortutious circum-
stances: That the temperature
did not go too high; that there
was some rainfall; and that q
Sunday, when water demands
lessen, intervened.
Could Have Been Serious.
MIR. Schmidt added: eff we had
had period of drought and high
temperature for a while, I don't
know what we would have done
We would have done just what
New York was doing-stop using
SO much water"
But he added: These high
maximums are 80 per cent over
our normal rate (of production)
and you can't keep that up for a
long time. Something is liable tc
fail, and it is liable to be worse .
It was brought out here that
the District situation is basicly
different from that of New York
because Washington, officials said
can get plenty of water from the
Potomac River-the only problem
being expansion of the intake
filtration and distribution systems
If financing is provided, the Dis.
trict will jump quickly into a pro-
gram of expanding the supply anc
distribution systems. Under pro-
gram outlined by Gen. Young
nearly $35 million will be ex-
pended in the next six years.

When Clifford CurZon, the Eng
lish pianist, made his first ap-
pearance here last season, he left
a profound impression. His recital
yesterday afternoon in Constitu-
ton Hall not only confirmed it
but deepened the feeling that here
is an artist who will revolutionize
piano playing. The familiar selec-
tionS come forth in an entirely
new guise as he presents them
and while this in itself is highly
interesting, it is the mind and
vision of the man that is so re-
markable. There should be another
way to designate him for he is
both a painter and a poet in
music. using his pianistic prowess
to depict and describe.
The story of how great actors
have gone over scene from
Shakespeare time after time until
the right length of phrase, the
place for a pause, and the correct
infection of the voice were found,
could apply to Mr.. Curzon. He has
subjected works that are in every
concert pianist's repertoire to a
particular kind of study. It is not
a study founded on rules of mu-
cianship but one guided by the
heart and the imagination. He
knows the composers as personali-
ties, he feels with them, and
understands their individual quail
ties down to the minutest detail.
His aim is to do them honor by
not allowing one iota of their ideas
to be overlooked or to be given
out carelessly.
For yesterdays programs major
works, he selected Beethoven's S
Lies Adieux" Sonata, Schumann' S
Fantasy in c." and Liszt's
"Funerailles," but the shorter
numbers were of equal Importance
in his artistic delivery. All of these
permitted him to dazzle with his
prodigious technique but it was
only momentarily that it was
noticed to the exclusion of his
interpretation The wealth of de-
tail in the Sonata" conjured UP
every changing mood and the
sentiment that belonged to it. Mr..
Curzon has rare insight for
sudden pianissimo or for the light
scampering that can portray
joy beyond bounds.
The line he look in Schumann's
Fantasy" was quite individual
Its contrasts were so marked that.
in a way, they seemed detached
one from another yet at the end
one looked back on an astondingly
poetic and passionately inspired
unfolding of the whole. 1t had a
penetration far deeper than Gus
tomary, a more than ordinary
feeling for the tenderness of its
song and for its great outbursts.
There are pianists with a more
velvety tone than Mr.. Curzon pos
sesses, for there is a dry quality
to his, but none that can be more
eloquent. his conception OF the
closing was superb.
One cannot just sit back and
enjoy Mr.. Curzon's playing. It is
impossible not to be gripped by
what is being related or not to be
absorbed in the manner-in the
tones of the voice, as it were-by
which he tells it. Both the $50
nata' and the Fantasy" abound
ed in mastery details yet not for
a moment was the full design Of
the works forgotten. When he
reached the "Funerailles" the pal
let used was broader, the hues
more vivid. The tremendous
meaning inherent in this work
was crisply, fatefully, present.
Here his virtuosity shone in the

Rail Stocks Climb,
Auto Issues Down
lin Uneven Market
By III. As.eeIe,.d Pres.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-De-
mand for selected railway stocks
contrasted with soggy market
for auto issues today.
The market generally was on
fairly solid footing. Gains OUT
numbered losses although by
none too large a margin-and
price changes were limited to so
cents a share or less for the most
part.
Gains for carrier issues extend
ed TO around 81 share. Last
week this group, as measured by
the Associated Press average of
is rails. reached the highest level
since 1916.
Among the gamers were Santa
Fe, New York Central, Baltimore
& Ohio, Canadian Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Missouri-Kansas-
Texas preferred and st. Paul pre-
ferred.
Under steady pressure were
General Motors. Chrysler and
Studebaker. Brokerage quarters
suggested that selling was infiu-
enced by the reimposition Of con-
sumer credit curbs. Presumably
the new credit regulations, calling
for larger down payments and a
shortened period in which to pay
the balance. will affect auto sales.
The week end news menu, which
included the Presidents fireside
chat Saturday night as well as
the credit regulations, apparently
contained nothing very startling
from a market viewpoint.
Boeing was soft spot most OF
the time. probably as a result OF
suit filed against the company
Friday by Northwest Airlines. The
suit asked damages for alleged
breach of contract involved in the
purchase Of 10 Boeing Strato-
cruisers. Other aircraft issues
tended higher.
Business started of at a fast
clip. but slowed to a walk after
week end orders were executed.
The corporate bond market
dawdled along without significant
price change. United States Gov
ernment issues held steady in
over-the-counter dealings.
