Of Citizen Stressed
At Virginia Forum
BY the Associoted Press

CHARLOTTE S WILL E, Va,
July 1.-THE University of Vir-
ginia's Institute of Public Affairs
ended weeks discussion Of the
outlook for the free world today
with a session pinpointing the
work of the community in world
affairs.
The average citizens indiffer-
ence was termed the greatest
problem of the American people
by Horace E. Henderson, of Will
liamsburg, president of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. He said voluntary
citizens organizations form the
backbone of the defense of de-
mocracy.
Communism and dictatorship
thrive only in the countries where
the people cannot or will not bind
themselves together in voluntary
and spontaneous citizens
groups" Mr.. Henderson said.
Just back from a 35,OOO-mile
trip around the world, he said
the worst conditions were in
countries where citizens had little
or no opportunity to take part in
self-goVernment and particularly
I'm those countries where young
people are expected to "be seen
and not heard"
The Junior chamber. he said,
Is seeking to develop in more
than so nations, organizations
of young men who will work on
local, State and national prob
lens.
Others speaking on the panel
included Mrs. Katherine c. Gar
rigue, director of the Service Bu-
reau of National Organizations
on the United Nations; Mrs.
Jean c. Ogden, associate director
Of Community Services of the
University Of Virginia; Mrs.
Peggy Homan, executive assist
ant for speakers and visitors at
the British Embassy, Washing
ton, and Richard C. Rowson,

Maryland Delegation
To See Eisenhower
On Airport Dispute
Laurel Maxwell.

Maryland's nine Congressman
have a date at the White House
tomorrow to try to talk Presi-
dent Eisenhower into having
Friendship Airport instead of
Andrews Field used for National
Airport's overflow.
The two Senators and seven
House members are down for a
15-minute appointment starting
at 2:45 pm.
Representative Fallon, Balti-
more Democrat, announced last
Monday that his States entire
delegation would fight any ap-
preparation for converting An
dreWS to commercial airline use.
Court Battle Possible.
|, He said the battle would be
taken to the courts, if necessary.
Yester day Representative
Small, Republican, reviewed some
of the anti-Andrews, pro-Friend-
ship arguments in a letter to
the Washington Board of Trade.
Last month the board in
dorsed the plan to let Andrews
supplement the crowded Ma
tional Airport.
Mr.. Small, a leader in the
fight to keep civilion planes out
of the Air Force base in Prince
Georges County. wrote that he
has been a member of the trade
board many years and usually
supported its moves.
But in this instance it strikes
me that the board may have
acted without full knowledge of
all the factors in this case" he
wrote.
Andrews Not the Answer"
His letter said Nationals need
for some place to help it handle
its flights is recognized but AN
dreWs Field is not the answer" j."
Representative Small's letter
said Friendship, near Baltimore,
is only % minutes farther from
Washington than Andrews. The
% minutes is negligible in long
flights, he said.
He also wrote that Friend
ship Airport is operating at only
so per cent of it's capacity.

Lack Of Funds
Fails 10 Stop
School Projects
Arlington Officials
Look to Court to
UntongIe Situation

Pending litigation and recur-
ring money shortages have not
yet stopped work on school con-
struction in Arlington. the
County School Board was as
sured yesterday.
DR.. E. J. Braun, assistant su-
perintendent in charge of school
construction, reported to the
board that work on two schools
is practically complete" an
other should be ready in August
and the rest are under way.
The contractors. he admitted.
are anxious over where the
money will come from.
School heads look to special
session of the Virginia Supreme
Court Wednesday to untangle a
situation which threatens to
stop all school building projects.
Court to Rehear Appeal.
The court will decide whether
to rehear an appeal by Arling-
ton Attorney John Locke Green.
Last month the court ruled
against Mr.. Green's view that
three school board members who
are Federal employees cannot
serve on the board legally. That
decision reversed an earlier one
by the Arlington County Circuit
Court.
Mr.. Green's motion for a re-
hearing had the effect of block
ing the school boards sale of
$2,780,000 in bonds.
Construction bills for June
were due Friday. The school
board appealed for some 1894 900
in State funds already allocated
for Arlington projects. The
county board indorsed the ap-
peal and the builders stayed on
the Job.
Reports on Construction.
Dl. Braun'S report on the
progress of school construction
revealed that:
The addition to Langston
School for colored students is
practically complete" Except
for driveway, Fillmore School,
a small primary unit, is sub
stantially complete"
Taylor School, according to
present indications, will be fin
ished by August 20
Work on the addition to Bar
croft School has been held up
by a delay in the delivery of
steel-but the steel should be
on hand soon.
Page Elementary School should
be ready by the opening day of
school this fall, as should the
first classroom unit of the Wake
field Junior-Senior High School.
Work on the other construc-
ton projects is progressing.

Sewage
Plant for Area
Condition of Potomac
Is National Disgrace,
He Tells Senute
By Harold B. Roaers

Senator Morse. Independent Of
oregon. branding the Potomac
River a flowing cesspool," yes
terday proposed a huge sewage
treatment plant here for the
entire Metropolitan Area, to re-
move a serious health threat.
The District Committee mem
ber said he has asked the COM
mittee staff to prepare legislation
he hopes to introduce this session
for the project.
Making a lengthy speech on
the Senate floor for such a plant
the Senator declared it would be
more than worth the millions 1t
might cost. Later he estimated
such project could run into an
outlay of $75 million, a 500 mil
lion, or more.
U. S. to Share Expense.
The expense would be divided
among the Federal Government,
the District, and nearby Mary
land and Virginia, under his
plan. Such a plan would be
worked out on the basis of a
compact involving the Govern
ment itself and the two States.
probably including the Distritc.
If the District gets home rule
as he hopes. the Senator said,
the municipal government of
the Capital might be a party to
the compact, but the Federal
Government should assume "a
very generous contribution" to
the cost.
To gather further information
backing his project Senator
Morse announced to the Senate
he plans to make a boat trip
down the Potomac within about
a week.
When he gets back, Senator
Morse said, he will prepare a re-
port on his trip. not only for the
District Committe, but also for
his weekly report to the Senate
and the Nation on behalf of his
independent Party"
1t was during such a report
to the Senate yesterday that the
Oregonian called the condition
OF the river national disgrace"
He charged that Congress had
complained about appropriating
funds for health, but had
wasted millions" particularly in
defense appropriations.
To point up his attack on the
pollution problem, Senator Morse
IN opening his speech referred
to a recent story in The Star
with a headline ~. S. Fails Its
Responsibility in Pollution Fight.
Group Says" He inserted the
story in the Congressional
Record.
If citizens in the Metropolitan
Area can be brought to realize
that the Federal Government
would cooperate with an ade-
quate share of the cost" he pre-
dicted, this river will not be
the flowing cesspool it now is"
Dereliction by Congress.
Charging Congress had been
"derelict" in not facing the
problem" Senator Morse asked:
Have we done all we can and
should to protect the health and
welfare or our people? The an
sWer is, No"
Information had reached him,
the lawmaker told the Senate,
that one settlement" within
sight of the Washington Monu-
ment and the Capitol Dome was
dropping raw sewage into the
river with no treatment at ALL"
Sweeping dirt under the rug
is not good housekeeping" he
snapped.
ITO take care of the whole
Metropolitan Area would cost
millions of dollars, but to spend
them" he asserted, would be
one of the Soundest investments
Of taxpayers dollars. It would
return in value to the taxpayers
many times the COST"
