To Report Shortly on
Abatement Projects

A study of pollution abatement
projects in the Washington Met
ropolitan area, which Is expected
to result in an abatement time
table," is being undertaken by the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin.
Mark D. Hollis, chairman of q
special commission study COM
mittee charged with the survey
told the commission today that q
report will be made at the next
commission meeting.
He said the committee will work
with the established agencies in
the various political subdivisions
in collecting data for its report.
Question of Speed.
Mr.. Hollis said the committee,
after gathering all of the facts,
will determine if pollution abate-
ment projects are being completed
with sufficient speed to correct
conditions in the Potomac and its
tributaries in the Washington
area.
Work now is underway on treat
ment facilities in all surrounding
areas, with the exception of Alex
andria, where plans for treatment
facilities have been made.
The Importance of pollution
control to health was emphasized
at the opening session of the
commissions annual meeting yes
terday by DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger.
District health director.
DR.. Seckinger said poliomylitis
virus was first found in sewage in
Charleston, S. c., and is known
to be present in sewage and
streams near cities where cases
are reported.
Menace to Health Here.
He said it is likely that the
virus is present in the District
sewers and in the polluted Po-
tomac.
He noted that raw sewage en-
ters the Potomac near a yacht
club close to Washington and
added that the menace to health
should not be tolerated.
While scientists do not know
the relationship between polio ep-
ldemics and pollution" DR.. Seek
niger said, I'VE cannot allow con-
ditionS to remain where raw
sewage may come in contact with
humans"
The commissions sessions, be-
ing held at the Mayflower Hotel,

But never since the creation of

been a time when we could say,
Here we reSt"-never a period
without important unfinished bus
mess.
"Since the very early days when
the authority was regarded with a
questioning hope by frustrated
housing reformerS and with an
amused and condeScending toler-
ance by Slum owners and their
agents. there never has been a
time when the authority, and I as
its executive, have not been under
attack by one or more special in
terest groups. The present is no
exception. The foreseeable future
promises no exception.
Reluctant to Retire.
This adds interest to life and
so makes me reluctant to step
aside. would like to remain a
participant in present conflicts
until they are decided; I would
like to take a responsible part in
the conflicts of the future.
But some years ago, when

generously postponed my retire.
ment indefinitely, you put re-
sponsibility upon me. I have been
keenly conscious of that RESPONSE
bility, realizing that one can out
stay his time.
THE national election two
months hence gives me the op-
portunity I have been seeking, be-
cause the National Government
rules the District of Columbia.
The results of the November elec-
ton, whichever party wins. will
close the first chapter in Ameri-
can public housing history. The
next chapter will cover at least
four years. When that term ends

age
Possibly I shall, during these
next four years, lose some of my
zest for conflict. If I were then
the authority's executive, this
would be unfortunate, because
public housing will continue to
present fighting issues. Moreover,
might not recognize the change
in myself.
$50, change being one of the
watchwords of the hour, I present
my resignation.
But would be less than frank
if I did not add that I earnestly
desire the greater freedom of a
private citizen"

and was graduated from Cornell
University in 1900. He went into
