Civilian alumni Of the Army
would be shocked if they visited
Fort Meade's ROTC camp, where
about 1,400 collegians are starting
a six-week hitch in summer camp.
Saturday the, processing desks
(the Army still processes" its raw
stock) were awash with confused
young men standing around and
waiting.
The waiting hasn't changed
much. But inside the vast field
house where doctors and dentists
were humping and probing,
things were entirely different.
Dentists weren't merely count
ing teeth, they were examining
them. Physicians were not con-
tent to approve all males who
were hale enough to come in under
their own power. They were re-
jecting some of them.
Army Food Delicious.
And the food! The food was
delicious, and not just a conclu-
sion arrived at by a skillet and a
cook who hates his fellow man.
Graduate warriors may find this
testimonial as hard to swallow as
the swill they faced in yesteryear,
but it's true.
Soldiers in the quartermaster
warehouse were not permitted to
fling textile oddments at the new
men. Instead, the ROTC boys
were outfitted as carefully as if
they already had their commits
SionS.
For most of the 1,40O cadets,
Saturday was the first day they
ever spent in an Army camp. They
were as bewildered by the hurry
up-and-wait as their predecessors
of the early 1940s.
Georgetown University was rep
resented by a batch of Juniors and
seniors, and four of them were
comparing notes. They agreed the

Adding F|uoride
ToCity'sWater
Supp|yStarted
Completion of Mixing
Job Will Require
Several Days

The Districts Operation Flu
oridation" got underway at 9:15
am. today.
A fine white powder, sodium
Silicof1uoride. started splashing
into a mixing tank at the Dale
carlia pumping plant when Com
missioner F.. Joseph Donohue
pushed a button.
A few moments later, Commits
sioner Renah Camalier pushed a
button on an adjacent machine
and doses of f1uoride were added
to water being pumped to the
Mcmillan Reservoir.
OftlcialS at Dalecarlia said
about $500 pounds of fluoride will
be added to the city's water supply
each day. This will add one part
OF f1uoride to every million gallons
OF water, the mixture recommend
ed by the United States Public
Health Service.
The city uses about 1865 million
gallons of water a day. Capacity
OF the two reservoirs is 200 million
gallons.
Process Described.
Here's how they add the
fluoride, which dentists and
public health officials say will
eventually cut childrens tooth
cavities by 40 to 80 per cent:
The bulk fluoride is fed into the
top OF the mixing machine. A
little at a time is released by a
gravity scale into a large tank
filled with water. Continual action
mixes the fluoride into the water
as it flows through pipes to the
reservoirs. The f1uoridated water
is mixed into the regular supplies
at several different points along
the pipeline.
The delicate scale is so rigged
that if less than the amount re-
quired is being fed into the mixing
tank, the opening is increased
slightly so regulation amount
goes in. Similarly, if too much is
being applied the scale makes the
necessary adjustment.
In addition. a large control
panel shows. by means of colored
lights, whether the operation is
proceeding normally.
A loud bell also rings if the
feeding machinery goes out Of
operation.
Consumer Protected.
Officials emphasized there was
no way in which consumers could
get more than the recommended
amount of f1uoride. Fluoride in
highly concentrated amounts is
poisonous.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, District
Health Officer. said it would be
several days before all residents
are drinking fiuoridated water.
The last area in the city to re-
ceive it, he said. would be Ana
costa, because the pumping, or
relay, station there is farthest
from the two reservoirs.
DR.. Seckinger emphasized that
fluoridated water will have no
taste or smell.

Harry B. Shaw, chief engineer OF
the Suburban sanitary commits
sion. Necessary engineering sur
veys are complete and plans are
ready for the contractor, Mr.. Shaw
added.
From the Bladensburg plant a
gravity sewer about 66 inches in
diameter will be built to the
Beaver Dam Creek mouth. From
the pumping station to be erected
there a force" main of from 54
to so inches will carry the SUBJ
urban sewage to a juncture with
an existing city main at Grant
street, just north of Benning
road. The lines there will carry
the sewage along the Anacostia
River to a point near the south
end of the South Capitol Street
Bridge, where the city sewer lines
converge into two 10-foot trunks
and proceed to the Blue Plains
plant.
Ultimately, according to Mr.
Shaw. a separate sewer parellel to
the present Anacostia main will be
built. Primarily this line will ac-
commodate the Maryland flow, but
since the District expects to tie
some of it's line into it the total
cost will be proportionately shared
This project is probably 10 years
in the future.
Closing the sewage treatment
operation at the Bladensburg plant
does not mean the plant facilities
will be abandoned. Existing build
ings will be utilized for warehouse
Office, laboratory and garage pur-
poses, Mr.. Shaw said.

officials agree that the new line
will be of mutual benefit. District
authorities count it a blessing that

House Unit Approves
Changes in Controls
On 0ptometry, ; 10 7
By Don S. Warren

Controversial legislation provid-
ing new regulations for optometry
was approved today by a House
subcommittee by a 3-to-2 vote, one
of them by proxy.
The health subcommittee of the
House District Committee acted
after another of a long series of
hearings on the bill, which has
been a subject of contest in Con-
gress for six years.
The bill would declare optome-
try to be a profession, would raise
the standards for licensed optome-
trists and would prohibit adver-
tising of prices for optometric
services.
Twice passed by the House in
earlier Congresses, it was passed
for the first time this year by the
Senate.
Goes Before Committee.
It now goes before the full
House District Committee. Be-
cause of the adjournment rush,
opponents said they did not believe
the bill would be enacted.
Voting for the bill today were
Representatives Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, and Miller, Republi-
can, of Nebraska. Voting with
them by proxy was Representative
Davis, Democrat, of Georgia.
Voting against the bill were Re-
publican Representatives Beall of
Maryland, and Hagen of Mime
sofa.
At today's hearing Representa-
tive Hagen blasted the bill as part
of the trend toward Government
regulation. 1T is a bill for regu-
lation and dictatorship and step
toward monopoly and trusts" he
said. There is too much die
tatorship now from Washington. "
In banning price advertising. he
said, it would serve to limit COM
petition. He said he feared this
would mean increased prices, and
asked how this would benefit the
public.
Supports Iowa Editorial.
Mr.. Hegen attacked the bill in
supporting testimony by Donald
j. Reid, representing the Iowa
Press Association.
Mr.. Reid, a Des Moines publish
er. said Iowa editors consistently
fought this type of legislation be-
cause they found enactment of an
Iowa statute banning advertising
of dental prices led to demands
for similar bills for optometrists
beauticians and morticians. Such
bills, he said, tend toward crea-
ton of monopolieS.
The bill was strongly defended
by Representative Miller, a ply
sician, and by several spokesmen
including William P. MacCrack-
en-, jr. He spoke for the Ameri-
can and District Optometrists
Associations. Mr.. MacCracken
read letters indorsing the bill from
James E. Collif1ower, who said it
would stop greedy practitioners
from using "bait" advertising, and
Alfred H. Lawson, president OF
the Washington Loan & Trust Co
Others Back Bill.
Other witnesses for the bill in
cluded Mrs. Jennie K. johnson
of the Brightwood Citizens Asso-
ciation, and Llewellyn K. Shivery
for the Federation of Civic Asso-
Citations.
Attacking the bill at length was
Leon Weintrob. speaking for the
Nation Retail Optometric Associa-
ton and S. Kann Sons Co.
Mr.. Weintrob charged that the
language of the bill was loose and
ambiguous, that the definitions of
optometry were not clear, that the
bill would give a blessing to the
sale of substandard lenses and
that it would forbid good as we'll
as fraudulent advertising of prices.

Officials Ask Funds
To End 0verfIowinq
|0f Sewers in Park

District officials today were
sending to the Bureau of the
Budget, for transmission to Con-
gress. a request for funds to cor
rect the sewer overflow problem in
Rock Creek Park.
The Commissioners are seeking
Ia supplemental appropriation of
I$1.2 million to build an auxiliary
to the Rock Creek main trunk
sewer and to make a hydraulic
study of the system.
Raw sewage overflowing from
manholeS has necessitated closing
of 19 picnic areas in the park
along Beach drive between Milk
House Ford and Sheriff. drive.
The situation will be aggravated
by work tomorrow morning to
lower the manholes to relieve
pressure on the sewer line, which
has broken in four places.
First Overflow In 1949.
Assistant Engineer Commission
er Thomas j. Hayes, Sd. today
corrected an earlier report from
the District Building that the first
manhole overflow from the line
took place in 1941. He said closer
study indicates the difficulty be-
gan in 1949.
Col. Hayes also suggested that
the problem might be alleviated
by the digging Of trenches to
channel the sewer overflow into
Rock Creek.
National Capital Parks officials
have expressed discomfort with a
proposal that sewage be piped di-
rectly from the sewer line into the
creek.
Fund Refusal Blamed.
Col. Hayes attributed the
present situation to the failure
of Congress to appropriate plan
ming money for the sewer system,
as requested by the District.
He likened the sewer problem to
the money plightS of the water,
welfare and school systems.
The District is checking now to
see if the load on the Rock Creek
sewer has increased in the last
six months and if so, why. Col.
Hayes pointed out that the line
was not originally planned with
view to receiving Maryland
sewage and that the nearby area
has built up Unexpectedly fast.

West Africa (GlobaD - One of
the regrettable facts of Negro life
is that the fine work of art done
by African natives has no value at
all to American Negroes as a
whole. In fact, it is looked upon
with disgust and derision by some
American Negroes. However, the
collection now in my possession
shows natural skill, talent and
ability by persons of color, and
in my opinion, African art is in
deed great.
A small segment of African ma
tives who rub shoulders with the
Europeans, make an attempt to
emulate them. But all in vain, the
primitive African appears satisfied
with his position, has no worries
and does not attempt to improve
his civilization. Art or no art, he
doesn't know the date of his birth,
the months of the year, the days
of the week, the time of the day,
and is not concerned with it. He
knows when it is Sunday because
that is his day off from work.
And, nobody else is particularly in
terested in helping him raise, his
standards - or so it seems.

In the history of this country,
only three Federal judgeships have

and one Of these is outside of the
continental United States. Judge
William H. HASTE gained judicial

Judge Herman E. Moore of Chi

judge of the Virgin Islands District
Court. Although Judge Moore has
been desirous of transfer to the
mainland, and there nave been va
cancies in the District Court at
Chicago and additional judgeships
have been created in that district,
he has been unable to get moved
from the Virgin Islands District
Court to hte northern district Of
Illinois or any other district in the
United States.
The one other Federal judgeship
filled by colored person is on the
