Residents Protest.
Present plans call for the plant
to be located on Hunting Creek
in the New Alexandria area.
Residents of this area have pro-
tested.
Alexandria, with plans COM
plete for both a treatment plant
and intercepter lines to collect
the city's sewage which now dis
charge into the river at a num-
ber of places. has indicated that
a referendum will be called next
year on a 81 million bond issue.
Meanwhile, the city must appear
before the Virginia Water Con-
troll Board January 4 to explain
why it has not made "satisfac-
tory progress" in the abatement
of pollution in nearby streams.
Both Fairfax County and Alex
andria plan to construct plants
that will provide intermediary
treatment. The Fairfax plant will
remove about so per cent of the
pollution, while the Alexandria
plant will remove from so to so
per cent. Neither plant will pro-
vide complete secondary treat
ment, which would remove from
80 to 80 per cent of the pollution.
The Alexandria plant would be
located on Hunting Creek at the
south end of Payne street. 1t
would be about three quarters of
"a mile as the crow flies from the
proposed locations of the Fairfax
plant.
Falls Church has no direct
sewage treatment problem. since
it's entire flow enters Arlington
County lines on the east and the
Fairfax County trunk line on the
west. Falls Church now pays both
Fairfax and Arlington for hand
ling it's sewage. and will pay both
these counties for treating its
wastes when treatment facilities
are available. The city's interest
in a regional study is to assure
continued handling and treatment
of its sewage.

District Legion Chief
Charges GSA Blocks
BeIasco as Canfeen

An American Legion official
charged last night that the Cen
eral Services Administration "for
no apparent reason" is blocking
efforts to reopen the old Belasco
Theater as a servicemen's canteen.
Walter L. Morgan. jr.. COM
mander Of the District Depart
ment of the American Legion,
made the charge in a statement
outlining progress made in the
Legion's efforts to open the theater,
now used for record storage by the
Treasury Department. During
World War II, the Belasco was op-
Grated as the Stage Door Canteen
by the American Theater Wing.
Mr.. Morgan said General Serv-
ices Administrator Jess Larson,
was responsible for the "obstruc-
zionist attitude" which has pre-
vented the opening of the can
teen.
Put Up to ID. C. Officials.
Informed of Mr.. Morgan's
statement, Mr.. Larson said both
the Treasury and GSA have stated
they would make the theater
available for canteen If the Dis
trict Government favors the move
/ He said the Federal agencies
couldn't favor any one organiza.
ton, such as the American Legion
He said the theater could be made
available to the American Legion
only if it joined with a group o1
organizations and only as an oper-
alton recommended by the District
Government.
This development apparently
will throw the whole controversy
to the District Commissioners
Armed Services Hospitality Com
mittee, headed by Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle.
Reopening Favored.
The Committee last week de.
cided to appoint a special sub
committee to coordinate ano
push efforts to reopen the Belascc
as a servicemen's canteen. Harry
S. Wender. general counsel fol-
the hospitality committee, said
the group favored reopening the
canteen either as suggested by the
American Legion or in agreement
with other veterans organizations
/ Mrs. Doyle said she would call
a meeting of the administrative
committee of the hospitality COM
mittee early this week to discuss
the question. She has not ap-
pointed members of the special
subcommittee as yet and said she
would do that after the meeting.
Mrs. Doyle said her groups in
terest was in "co-ordinating" eff
forts to open the canteen. The
need has been stressed by COM
manders of military units in the
Washington area, she pointed out.
Since the Belasco reopening
was originated as a project of the
American Legion. the hospital
ity committee has Endorsed the
project.
If the GSA and the American
Legion can't get together. which
appears to be the case. the hos
pitality committee probably will
push for the reopening of the
Belasco through Recreation Serv-
ices, Inc. the hospitality commit
tees corporate organization for

If it is found that the creation

Economy Seen.
The theory has been advanced
by sanitary engineers that the
Virginia communities might save
considerable money through joint
action. Three general plans have
been tentatively advanced anc
probably will receive detailed
study if it is found that an au-
thority is feasible.
These plans call for:
/. The treatment of all sanitary
wastes originating from the Vir-
ginia communities in single
treatment plant.
2. The construction of two dis
posal plants which would be oper.
ated by a single authority.
3. The construction of pipe
line under the Potomac River
connecting with the District Of
Columbia treatment plant at Blue
Plains, where all Virginia wastes
would be treated.
Bond Issue Approved.
II a study should indicate thai
an authority is not advisable, the
alternative then would be for al
communities to proceed inde-
pendently.
Such plans are already under
way. A recent $2.617,0O0 bond is

Heavy Trucks Cause
.Disproportionate Rate
OF Damage 10 Roads

Heavy trucks proportionately
caused far more damage to q
Southern Maryland test highway
than lighter ones. the Highway
Research Board of the National
Academy of Sciences said yester-
day in its first progress report.
:. 1t pointed out 44,S0O pound
tandem (two rear axle loads
caused about IL times as much
cracking in lineal feet on the
highway as did the $4,000 pound
tandem axle loads.
/ For the last six months, the
tests have been going on day and
night on IL miles of reinforced
concrete on Route 301 south OF
La Plata.
! The report expressed the hope
additional tests can be conducted
on both Portland cement concrete
and bituminous type pavements
under other typical conditions.
Other Tests Suggested.
Spokesman for the trucking in
tereStS have suggested that other
tests should be undertaken before
any generalizations can be made
They pointed out previously that
weather conditions, the subsurface
construction of the highway and
other factors must be carefully
studied before final results can be
established.
The report set forth these COM
paratively effects on the test road:
The 22,400 ID. axle loads
caused approximately six times as
much cracking as the $4,000 pound
single axle loads"
After $4,000 truck passes, 80
per cent of the joints in the sec
ton carrying 44.800-pound axle
loads were depressed, whereas,
with the same number of truck
passes. only 10 per cent of the
joints in the section carrying 32,-
000-pound tandem axle loads were
depressed"
Further Statistics.
After $4,000 truck passes, %
per cent of the joints in the Sec
ton carrying 22.400-pound axle
loads were depressed. whereas
with the same number of truck
passes, only 2 per cent of the
joints in the section carrying 49,
O00-pound single axle loads were
depressed"
After 175,000 truck passes,
per cent of the slabs in the sec
ton under 18,O00-pound single
axle loads and 40 per cent of the
slabs under Background single
axle loads contained cracks which
have been analyzed as constitut.
ing structural failures due to the
application of test axle loads
