Two-State Group
Meets on Pollution
OF Upper Potomac

Representatives Of West Vir-
ginia and Maryland will get to-
gether here today to work out
a cooperative plan for clearing
pollution from the upper Poto-
mac River.
At its fall meeting today and
tomorrow, the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin will bring together repre-
sentatives of the two States in
an attempt to speed the pollu-
ton abatement program in one
Of the most seriously affected
sections of the river.
In the Luke e-Cumberland area,
where the Potomac forms the
boundary line between West
Virginia and Maryland, pollu-
tion-both industrial and muni-
cipal-has been made more seri-
Gus by the seasonal low flow OF
the river.
Dam Reduces Pollution.
Recently, the completion OF
the Savage River Dam, above
Luke, has aided in reducing the
pollution, but the commission
believes there is still much to be
accomplished.
The commission today also is
scheduled to receive a report on
the progress in relieving pollu-
ton from acid mine wastes. A
process, discovered by a COM
mission research worker at Johns
Hopkins University, has been re-
ceiving tests under actual mine
conditions.
Prevents Acid Forming.
Previously. laboratory tests
had indicated that the process
would prevent the formation OF
acid in abandoned mines.
It has been estimated that
thousands of tons of sulphuric
acid flow from the old mines
each day into the upper Poto-
mac streams. These acid wastes
destroy both plant and water
life.
The commission plans a ban
quet tonight at the Washington
Hotel, and will conclude the fall
meeting with committee sessions
tomorrow morning.

Iran Doesn't Like Dulles Snub
Secretory's Failure to Schedule Stop at Teheron
Is Interpreted as Sop to British Sensibities
Constantine Brown:

Secretary Of State Dulles Is
now on a goodwill tour through
the Near and Middle East. In
days gone by American high
officials stayed at home. The
goodwill tours, sometimes de-
scribed as showing the flag"
were undertaken by warships
which called at ports Of ma
tionS we wanted to honor and
were willing to honor us.
In the age In which we live,
although the old custom has
not been abandoned, it is felt
that goodwill tours by warships
may cause some misunder-
standings as to their real pur-
pose and give propaganda am
munition to the Communists.
Hence, the battleship is being
replaced by Mr.. Dulles,
But even such civilian good
will tours are not always with
out their drawbacks and spe-
cial interpretations which can
be harmful to the United
States in the present strained
international situation.
Mr.. Dulles has not included
Iran in his itinerary although
this is one of the world trou-
bic spots in which we are
keenly interested. He is going
to Egypt. Israel. Turkey, a
number of Middle Eastern
states, India and Pakistan. He
will be flying near Iran on his
way to Pakistan and India but
will not land there. The Of
f1cial explanation is that he
does not have time even for an
overnight stop.
The Teheran government
cannot swallow this explana-
ton easily and is considering
MIR. Dulles neglect as an Off
cial slap at the Mossadegh
government. The men in Te-
heran say this is probably at
the insistence Of the British.

and at Kairouan, only 933 out

it is hard for the public to

Congress now is going about
its economy motions, cutting
appropriations for various pur-
poses included under social
gains" along with other items.
AS it does so, it is getting kick
backs from voters here and
there who remembered what
Gen. Eisenhower said about
preserving the social gains, and
took him on faith, and forgot
about what he and his party
said about economy.
For instance, the Eisenhower
administration recommended
appropriations, in the Inde-
pendent Offices bill for $4,000
public housing units. which
compares with 1000 suggested
in the final Truman budget.
But the House didn't approve
a nickel for public housing
units. However, a Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee has
recommended restoration of
the Eisenhower administration
proposal, and so eventually
there likely will be a COM
promise for some public hous-
ing.
The House also sharply re-
duced loan funds for the Rural
Identification Administration
for power lines and telephones
and cut out funds for trans
mission lines from public power
installations of the South
eastern Power Administration
and sharply curtailed expan-
sion plans Of the Southwestern

At Lust-o Lenders Market
Higher Interest Rates Finally Reverse 2O-Yeo Injustice
To Those Who Have Money to Lend for Private Gain
Dovid L0wrence:

Perhaps because the topic is
o technical one, the most sig
niflcant development in a quar-
ter of a century has passed un-
noticed by the general public.
It is a fact that at last the
wages of money have finally
been awarded an increase.
While wages for almost every
form of labor have gone up,
the wages Of savingS-the re-
suit Of past labor-have lag
ged.
Most persons do not realize
that money earned and saved
Is entitled to a decent wage.
The fruits Of labor are as i'm
portant as labor itself. Other
wise communism and state
socialism prevail and the indi-
viduai isn't able to save at all.
Today there is a catching up
at last Of the wages Of money.
The cost of money to the bor-
rower-known as interest
has gone up. CorreSpondingly
the wages Of money to the
lender-the income-has gone
up too. What almost every
body doesn't realize is that the
wages Of money-the interest
rate-has for 20 years been
cut down below the true mar
ket value Of money. This has
been done deliberately by a
Government control policy
that ignored the law Of sup
ply and demand. Also at the
same time the income from
money hired out for interest
has been diminished by the
Governments requirement that
a higher and higher proportion
of the income from interest
must be taxed.
What is a familiar story to
banks and financial inStitu-
tions generally is overlooked
by the average observer
namely that when the Govern
ment borrows money at a spec
ified rate it has an immediate
effect on all other interest
rates for other borrowings. A

good income II the rates Of in
terest are too low. The prem
ium charges have to go up. too.
It has been a long time since
savings bank deposits earned
a decent interest rate. There
was q time, too, when most all
banks paid interest on time de-
posits. In recent years they
have not been able to perform
the services they used to per-
form without charge to the
small depositor largely because
they found that they could
not reinvest their deposits and
earn a high enough income to
pay their expenses and earn a
return on the capital they had
risked in their institutions.
All along the line the low in
terest rate has had inflationary
results which have damaged
the incomes of widows and or
phans as well as other persons
living on fixed incomes.
So far as increasing the cost
for the borrower is concerned,
it should not be forgotten that
when one pays out interest on
any loan this is a deductible
item in computing taxes. A
person who pays a 20 per cent
income tax rate. for example,
would be able to take a twenty
per cent deduction on interest
paid and would really pay a
net rate Of four per cent al
though his mortgage is on a
five per cent basis. When the
present high taxes are taken
into account, all interest rates
still are running at a net cost
to, the borrower that is much
lower than appears on its face.
, It is too soon to forecast the
full effect of a sound interest
rate in America but it is not
too early to say that a sounder
position for the dollar will
mean a sounder America in
the long run and. a strength

picture for the individual who
hires out the money he has

Economics Hit Social Gains
Despite g. O. P. Campaign Pledge, Worthwhile Services
Are Being 1Storved Out by SkiI!fuL Fund SIoshes

What we have come to call
social gains" are not just
something that happened
and can then be taken for
granted.
Certain principles had to be
established by law, it is true.
Getting that done was quite
a battle that went on through
the last 20 years. But these
principles have to be imple-
mented from time to time If
they are to mean anything.
For example, Congress estab-
lished back in 1887 the policy
of Government financial as
SiStance to help communities
to eliminate slums and put up
decent housing in such blighted
areas. That didn't solve the
problem. It is a continuing job,
for there are still sizable slum
areas in our bigger cities, in
cluding the National Capital.
Congress has to provide money
from time to time to continue
this work.
So likewise does it have to
provide funds for loans to rural
electriflcation co-operativeS to
serve farm regions with elec-
trio power and, in recent years,
with telephones. These are
lf-liquidating projects that
pay out in time. They are
operated by the people in the
community and represent one
Of the finest examples of grass
roots democracy.
