Probably the largest class of private citizens
operating on the fringes of government is
made up of Washington representatives of
specific corporations who do not try to inf1u-
ence government action or legislation, but
exist chiefly to keep their home offices well
informed.
Up-dating the Boss
these men deal largely in Inside" informa-
ton and Interpretation, keeping. the boss back
in Detroit or Grand Rapids up-to-date on
what to expect from Congress, how the Pres-
dent is feeling, the chances for peace or war.
Probably their most important function is to
interpret governmental actions for the boss.
All of these functions entail knowing the right
people.
The departure of the Democrats from high
places last January outdated many, wiped
out some influence peddlers. Those who re-
main look somewhat tired and sleepy. To
stay in any semblance of business, the poor
guys had to learn a lot of new faces That was
expected. But what hurts is having to learn
lot of new habits.

Letter to the Editor and the People of Wrangell
 After reading Gordon Mason's letter in last weeks paper and finding out what happened over on Browns Island it just burned me up. In the 36 years I've been up here l never heard of such a thing as turning anybody out in a storm and refusing them shelter Why you wouldn't do that to a dog on a bad night.
 In the many years I've been go- ing up the Stikine River I've never seen the time, nor have I ever heard of it, when any cabin along the river wasn't a welcome spot There is always a place to throw your bedroll and a cup of coffee on hand if there is anyone around, or you can make your own. This has long been a custom of the country and one of the reasons many of us like to live here
 It seems to me that if people can't adopt the customs of the country and act like human beings they ought to go back to where they came from - and the sooner the

AS far as this last answer is
concerned, Mr.. Mccain said the
State Roads Commission "as-
sumes that his (Mr. Bartholo-
news understanding is shared
by the majority of the members
of his commission"
The roads chief said he want
ed to commend Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW on his promptly reply. which
removes the probability of q
largely increased expenditure in
the cost of rightS-of-way acqui-
sition."
Sets Meeting on Plans.
He said he hopes to meet dur
ing the week of November 16
with the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to 'correlate definite
plans for the proposed construc-
ton" after the engineering study
is completed by his staff.
After that. he said. a final
decision can be made and sub
mitted to the National Capital
Planning Commission"
Meanwhile. Robert M. Wat
kins, chairman of the Maryland
planning group. said it was
gratifying that the negotiations
with the National Capital Plan
ming Commission with respect to
Route 240 and the intercounty
belt have apparently resulted in
agreement"
The Maryland planners have
split sharply with the National
Planning Commission, urging
that the Route 240 southeast leg
be constructed as an independent
roadway through the park areas.
Mr.. Watkins statement. how
ever, apparently agreed with the
road commission that the new
plan can be worked out by us
ing a single dual-purpose road
way through the park and build
ing the rest of the southeast leg
over acquired private property.

Accord Near on Step
For Abatement Of
Anacostia Pollution

The District Commissioners
and Maryland sanitation author
tiles are nearing agreement on
a proposal that will make pos
sible a big step toward abate-
ment of Anacostia River pol
luton.
David v. Aud, District direc-
tor of sanitary engineering. said
the agreement will permit Mary
land to construct sewage trunk
line down the Anacostia River
valley to the Districts Blue
Plains treatment plant.
The Anacostia River in the
Bladensburg area is serving as
an open cesspool for the raw
sewage discharge of an area with
about 10000 residents. Some of
this sewage eventually gets into
the Potomac at the mouth of the
Anacostia.
Is Long Sought Goal.
Mr.. Aud, speaking at a lunch
con sponsored by the Rivers and
HarborS Committee of the Wash
ington Board of Trade offered
no prediction as to when an
agreement will be reached. The
District Commissioners and the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission have long been
working toward such an agree
ment, however.
Maryland authorities have
about So million available to
begin construction of the sani-
tary sewer, he said. Involved in
the agreement would be granting
of authority to Maryland to con-
struct the section of pipe inside
the District necessary to carry
the sewage to the treatment
plant.
Another phase of the agree
ment is the problem of assessing
a fee for Maryland sewage
treated at the District facility.
Mr.. Auld said improvements
now under way and further i'm
provementS being planned will
greatly increase the capacity of
the Blue Plains plant and will
enable secondary as well as pri-
mary treatment of sewage.
Sees Big Gains by 1856.
He reviewed efforts of North
ern Virginia communities to
meet the problem of sewage
treatment and said that, by 1856,
if all present plans are success
fully carried out, the Potomac
River will be improved i'm
meaSurably.
The pollution in the Anacostia
was labeled the most acute"
problem at this time. Next in
Importance is the continued pol
luton from Arlington County in
the area of Four Mile Run.
