runs beneath Ingraham street and
also parallels the other sewer be-
meath Arkansas avenue. Both of
the Arkansas avenue sewers dis
charge into Piney Branch near
Rock Creek. The waters have
caused some erosion in Piney
Branch parkway, leading to Rock
Creek.
Sewers Needed.
Plans now call for constructing
the new 15-foot Piney Branch
sewer just westward of the Six
teenth street bridge. Under the
program-if the funds are forth
coming-it will be built in a tun-
mel from that point east beneath
Randolph street, northeast on
Kansas avenue to Illinois avenue
and then follow northward to Fifth
and Ingraham streets NV. to join
the existing sewer.
Mr.. Kemp said that, in the near
future. the District government
will have to install additional sew
ers in that region. These will run
up Eighth street, at a cost of 81
million in Upper Piney Branch
Valley. A second one will go up
Fifth street from Quackenbos
street and will cost $560,0OO, while
a third sewer will be built up

Operation on Brain Held Aid
ToPotients' Ability to Work

Employability of persons with
some types of mental disorders
can be greatly increased through
prefrontal lobotomy operations,
two George Washington Univer-
sity surgeons reported today.
The report. showing 36 per cent
of persons undergoing the per
sonality change" operation re-
turned to work after surgery, con-
tradicts a widespread belief that
the complex operation makes pa
tients virtually unfit for further
employment.
However, most patients work at
jobs below the professional level,
and probably are not as efficient
and productive as before their
mental illness. according to Drs.
James w. Watts and Arcesio
Zuniga.
In a report prepared for de-
livery this afternoon at the South
ern Medical Association meeting
in Dallas, Tex, the doctors re-
viewed results achieved with 604
patients operated upon from 1886
to 1948. The follow-up survey
is one of the most comprehensive
made of prefrontal lobotomy pa
tients.
604 Patients Studied.
Patients included in the survey
had undergone surgery for schizo-
phrenia, severe depression and OBJ
sessive tension states. In the fol-
lowup check on employment,
housewives were not included be-
cause of the difficulty of determin-
ing how good a job the patient
was going.
Of the GOA patients included in
the study, 306 had been employed
before they became mentally ILL.,.
Only three per cent were still
working at the time of surgery.
After prefrontal lobotomy, pit
eventually returned to work. Most
took jobs as clerks or statesmen,
although there were a few attor-
neys in the group who continued
to practice.
At the present time, Drs. Watts
and zuniga reported, 19 per cent
of all patients in the survey are
employed full time and four per
cent part time. The difference
between the working status today
and the SO per cent reported en-
ployed since lobotomy is accounted
for by deaths, retirement age and

First Suspects Seized
On Charge Of Evading
New Gambling Tax

The first suspected violations of
the new gambling tax laws have
been reported to the Bureau of
Internal Revenue following a pair
'of raids by District vice squadmen.
Names of the three picked up
were turned over to Federal
agents after the trio was charged
with gambling. Another two
raids. these by Montgomery
County detectives, netted four
gambling suspects who the detec-
ItiveS said also had failed to buy
the new $50 Federal occupation
tax stamps.
The District raids followed a
itwo-week investigation by under
cover men who had placed bets
with marked money.
Mary c. Foster. 35, was ar
rested in the 600 block of Bick-
ford place NE. Henry L. Posey,

arrested in the TOO block of Vir-
ginia avenue Sc.

fiscated $4,510 from a safe and
$416 from Poseys pockets. An
other $50 in change was conf1s-
Gated, along with an adding ma
chine. pencils and pads of paper.
At the Bickford place address
police found some of the marked
money used by an undercover man
to place bets, they said. Detec-
tives said they had followed
Posey's auto several times as it
went to the Bickford place ad-
dress.
The Montgomery County raids
were in the unit block of Hawkins
avenue in Bethesda and in the
3700 block of Manor road in
Chevy Chase.
Detectives arrested Alice Height.
I38, and Margaret Williams, %,
at the Hawkins avenue address,
and John Higginbotham, 81, at
the Manor road address. Later in

Association. and Patrick Henry
Delaplaire of 5001 Thirteenth
street NV, who for many years
has taken an active interest in the
flood problem.
Here's the way Mr.. Cochel sums
up the trouble:
1--WE have been told, annually,
for some years now. that the
Commissioners have attempted to
secure appropriations sufficient to
carry out this work regarded by
them as necessary and important
to the District. But now the
Congress tells us otherwise. In
fact. the Commissioners have not
asked for the full appropriation
to finish this job. In other words,
heretofore, the Commissioners
have not fairly nor adequately
represented our case before the
congressional committees con-
cerned with the financial affairs
|of the District, and their assur-
|ances Of sympathy and relief to
us do not mach up with their
subsequent testimony given Con-
|gress in connection with their
budget requests.
This job has to be finished. To
put it off won't help the Commits
|sioners or the District government
or the budget and may ruin U.s. -
Eight-Foot Floods.
Mr.. Cochel labeled Fifth and
|Ingraham streets NV, where au-
|tomobiles f1oated around like chips
in a recent flood, and Seventh
and Hamilton streets NV. as the
worst food spots-and he lives
between them. He said the floods
have reached 8 feet at Fifth and
Ingraham.
To cope with the food menace
some people have erected their
own levees. installed water-tight
doors. put in electrical signaling
devices to warn Of rising waters
and made solid the places where
cellar windows were to keep out
the floods, Mr.. Cochel said.
Mr.. Cochel contends there are
100000 gallons of sewage lying
under Fifth street, south of In
graham street. at all times, wait
ing for the next storm to flush
the works"
The mud, the repeated con-
struction work, blasting for sewer
construction. foul odors from
sewage, air exhaust pipes that ex-
tend from the sewers into the air
for more than 20 feet above the
pavement. the danger from open
lmanholes ripped away in flood
Itime-all these have plagued the
community, Mr.. Cochel declared.
And the citizens are getting
mighty tired of it and want re-
lief now, he asserted.

Payne Will Face
Trial Nov. 70
In Arlington
Sentenced in Foirfox
To II Years for
Assault on Bride

William Robert Payne, who
already has received a 17-year
penitentiary sentence for the rape
Of an Arlington bride. faces trial
20 on three more
charges connected with the
crime.
The penitentiary term was i'm
posed on Payne yesterday by Fair
fax Circuit Court Judge Arthur
w. Sinclair. Payne, 25, of Be-
thesda had pleaded guilty to the
rape charge.
A 35-year term was imposed
on Payne's companion, John
Robert Polk, last Friday for the
same crime after Polk also plead
ed guilty.
Fairfax County Circuit Court
Judge Arthur Sinclair said he
recognized quite a difference" be-
tween the two men.
Il condemn you for what you
did as bitterly as I can condemn
any one" the judge told Payne.
"but believe you have a good
opportunity to rehabilitate your
self"
Came From Broken Home.
In a report read to Payne
from the bench, Probation Officer
Charles Booth said Payne had
come from a broken home and
sis gullible and has a false sense
of loyalty"
Mr.. Booth added, however, that
because of Payne's two-year as
sociation with Polk, Payne's
sense of right and wrong was open
to question.
Payne has no previous criminal
record, Mr.. Booth reported.
Mr.. Booth read from a state
ment made by the attractive 20
year-old bride of a Navy officer
describing how she was ordered
from her husbands side at gun
point in their Colonial Village
bedroom and taken to Great Falls
where she was assaulted five times
by the two men last June Is.
Her statement said Polk was
the instigator and frequently over
ruled Payne, who submitted to his
orders.
In a statement by Payne which
also was lead by Judge Sinclair.
the defendent said he tried sew
eral times without success to get
away from Polk.
Both Face Arlington Trial.
Both men face trial November
20 in Arlington on charges of kid
mapping, burglary and abduction,
leach carrying maximum penalty
of death.
Commonwealth's Attorney Hugh
B. Marsh said he had no recon-
mendation to make regarding
what sentence should be imposed
on Payne. He said he had dis
Icussed with Defense Attorney
Harry A. Shockey "the PROPOSE
Ition of Is years." but he added, II
don't have any agreement with
Mr.. Shockey"
Mr.. Shockey cited Payne's good
record and asked the court to be
lenient.
Payne will be eligible for parole
after he has served one-fourth Of
his term.

Penrod met with Leslie L. Alt
mann. company president. and
James P. Donovan. company at
torney, in an abortive effort to

clined a union demand that all
strikers return to work without
loss of seniority rights if they re-
turned by October %, but lost
them by voting to continue the
strike, Mr.. Altman said.
Mr.. Altman pointed out to
union spokesmen that 81 men
have been employed since October
% on a permanent basis and he
could not in good faith discharge
them.
New Men Being Hired.

their jobs as though there had
been no strike, he added.

Falls Church Board
Gets Progress Report
On Two New Schools

The new Falls Church School
Board. with a full progress report
before it on construction Of two
new schools, is pressing for COM
pletion Of water and sewer lines
to hasten the projects.
The board last night held its
first business session since ap-
pointment of six new members
last month.
The B. & j. Construction Co. is
building a new primary school on
Mount Daniel on North Oak street
and a new junior senior high
school on Leesburg pike at Hay
cock road in West Falls Church.
Edwin w. Jones of the construc-
ton firm predicted completion of
the primary school by the end of
the year.
Water Supply Promised.
John Graham, jr., Of the firm
of Graham & Dickey. architects
of the primary school, said the
failure Of the city utilities depart
ment to provide water with ade-
quate pressure was threatening a
delay. City Councilman Samuel
E. McCrary, who attended the
meeting. said City Manager w.
Rhodes Woodbury. has assured
him an adequate water supply will
be provided within a day or two.
The city also is scheduled to
install about $50 feet of sewer
line to fill a gap between the end
of the city line in Falls Church
and the point where the school
contractors line ends at the city
boundary.
Mr.. Jones said the firms rec
ord on construction Of the high
school is excellent. considering the
obstacles faced. Although con-
struction Of the high school was
first authorized in a 1949 bond is
sue, Mr.. Jones told the board, his
firm was not awarded a contract
until January Of this year.
Standards Are Rigid.
Board Member Oliver J. Cald-
we'll questioned why commercial
buildings seem to be going up
rapidly. Mr.. Jones replied that
very rigid construction standards
set by the State must be met in
building schools, while the COM
mercial builder must meet only
local building code requirements.
Another reason why large stores
and shopping centers are being
built is because they are some
times not limited by a contract
in bidding for scarce materials,
Mr.. Jones added.
The board ordered an audit of
School Board accounts as of the
date the new members TOOK Office.
Meanwhile, more than 100 Falls

Wheatgrass Bug
Invading Wheat

FARMERS WHO HAVE wheat
fields bordered by ranges of crested
wheatgrass should inspect their grain
for possible infestation of crested
wheat bugs.
This warning has been issued by
Theodore Fosse, Cascade county
agent, who reports that the bugs
have been found in fields north of
Great Falls. They are small beetle
about 1z-inch long and dull black
in color. They are a sucking insect
and draw the life out of the leaves,
turning them a spotty brown and
eventually causing death of the
plant.
The insect can be controlled by
spraying the grain field or the
crested wheatgrass range with either
DOT or chlordane. The mixture can
be one pound of technical DOT In
to 10 gallons of water or one pound
of chlordane in 5 to 10 gallons Of
water.

Stream Flows
Above Normal

STREAM FLOWS and water stor-
age in Bureau Of Reclamation reser-
voirs in the northern part of the
Missouri river basin will generally
be greater than average during the
spring months, according to K. F.
Vernon, director of the Bureaus Re
gion 6.
The forecast of stream flows and
reservoir inflows is based on studies
made by Guy c. Thatcher, head Of
the Region reservoir regulation
section, of the expected snow melt
runoff for the four-month period
from April through July and the ex-
pected precipitatio nduring the same
period.
In reviewing the stream flow by
major water sheds, Thatcher said the
Missouri river flow at the Canyon
Ferry dam site near Helena, is ex-
pected to be about 179 percent of
normal during the four-month
period.
The flow of the Sun river is ex-
pected precipitation during the same
normal.
The Marias river is expected to
carry about 155 percent of its normal
flow during the four-month period.
Fresno reservoir, the principal
storage feature on the bureaus 1877
