Chevy Chase Group
To Seek Injunction
AGAINST Power House

A spokesman for the Citizens
Committee of Section 4. Chevy
Chase. Md. yesterday said the
group will seek a court injunc-
ton to forestall construction of a
Potomac Electric Power Co. SUBJ
station in Chevy Chase.
Alger Y. Barbee, attorney for
the citizens group. said final pa
pers were filed yesterday in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court. appealing the decision
that granted Pepco permission to
erect the substation. The injunc-
ton. he said. will be sought next
week.
In the appeal, residents Of the
Chevy Chase section, asked for a
review of County Board of APP
peals ruling on January IL. when
the board granted a special ex-
ception to the utility. Pepco en-
gineers said new substation is
urgently needed to boost drop
ping voltages in the area.
Because Section 4 is an incor-
porated municipality, it's govern
ing committee commended county
coming authorities went beyond
their jurisdiction in allowing the
SubStation. The Chevy Chase
home-owners declared the Board
Of Appeals ruling confiicted with
their regulation that only single
family residences may be built in
the section.
During hearing last Deem
Der before the appeals board, Of
ficials said they had tried to find
other locations for the construc-
ton but that no space was avail
able. Present plans are for an
installation adjacent to 1918
East-West highway.

New Sewage Plant
In Fairfax Is Nearly
Ready for Operation,
By Mary Lou Werner

Fairfax County's new sewage
disposal plant at TOO Fort Hunt
road is nearly ready to begin
treating millions of gallons of
raw sewage that flows each day
into the Potomac River.
Construction work on the ST.
million project is completed. En-
gineers have started diverting
some sewage into the plant to
test the maze of pumps. pipes
and tanks for defects. Within
another month. the shakedown
period should be completed and
the plant ready to function "a
hours day.
The plant Is designed to serve
about 81 square miles of Fairfax
County in Sanitary Districts Nos.
and 6. 1t can treat 8 million
gallons of sewage a day. which
is adequate for a population of
10000. The current population
to be served is $4,000.
Massey Engineers Of Fairfax
designed the new system. Ac-
cording to G. Hubbard Massey,
head of the firm. the new plant
will provide a higher degree of
treatment than any other exist
ing large plant in the Metro
politan Area.
Mr.. Massey figures his plant
can remove so per cent of pollu-
ton from the sewage it treats.
He calls this an intermediate
treatment. midway between pri-
mary and secondary treatment.
The District plant at Blue Plains
and the Arlington County plant
are both primary plants at the
present time, although the Dis
trict has plans to increase its
degree of treatment.
To accomplish the higher de-
gree OF treatment and eliminate
any possible odors, Mr.. Massey
has used some established prin-
ciples. plus a few ideas of his
own. With an eye to economy,
he has provided a regular proc
essing plant that converts the
sewer sludge into saleable
fertilizer.
With the fast-growing popu-
lation in Fairfax County, engi-
neers estimate the new plant
will reach its capacity in 1856.
The size of the plant, however.
was determined by the size Of
the existing trunk sewer which
the Federal Government in
stalled in 1913. Fairfax County
has entered a joint agreement
with Alexandria for treatment
OF excess sewage that cannot
be accommodated at the new
county plant.

A crowd of about 600 stood in
the biting wind to witness the
pageantry of the commemora-
tive service.
Earlier. about 30 military, civic
and fraternal organizations laid
wreaths at the front of the
building. The ceremony was
sponsored by the Military Order
of the Loyal Legions-formed
on April Is, 1865 when Lincoln
died.
Confederate Group Included.
The legion was joined by rep
resentatives of the Sons of the
Confederate Veterans. who laid
a magnolia bedecked wreath
during the rites. 1t was the first
time the Confederate organiza-
ton has taken part in the Lin
coin Birthday observance.
The wreath was placed by
John Virden, 6619 Eastern ave-
nue.. Chevy Chase. whose grand
father served with the Confed-
crate Army's I'd Arkansas regi-
ment. I'VE decided" Mr.. Vir-
den said. that 80 years was
long enough to hold a grudge."
Lincoln's immortal speech
given November 10. 1863 at
Gettysburg was read at the cere-
mony. Most of the words, read
by Slocum Kingsbury, of the
Loyal Legion. were whipped
away by the wind, but the crowd
followed the phrases by heart.

Tax Law Suspension
Up 10 Senate Now;
New Tactic Planned
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Sioff Correspondent

RICHMOND. Feb IL - The
hottest issue of the 1854 Cen
eral Assembly - suspension of
the Byrd automatic taA credit
law-was placed squarely in the
laps Of the Senate today. as
plans developed in the House
of Delegates to force favorable
action in the upper chamber.
Administration forces, who
took a 56-to-40 licking in the
House yesterday with the passage
of the so-called Carter bill,
pinned their hopes on the Sem
ate Finance Committee to kill
the measure.
However, those who success
fully backed the bill of Delegate
Stuart B. Carter of Botetourt had
other ideas. The plan was that
House hackers of the Carter
bill were preparing amendments
to the budget to take care of an
additional 81 million in needs.
Legislative Maneuver.
The idea is to send the budget
over to the Senate with the ad-
ditional funds for such services
as health, mental hospitals and,
possibly, teachers, included. If
the Senators are disposed to
kill the Carter bill, it also will
have the unpleasant task of
striking out 81 million worth
of worthy projects-an action
for which they may be held
answerable at the polls.
In other developments today,
the Arlington and Fairfax dele
cations introduced a resolution
calling on Congress to repeal
those sections of the Hatch Act
that prohibit Federal employees
from participating in elections
on partisan level.
Legislation designed to give
each Of the two judicial circuits
next to Washington an addi-
tional judge appeared to be run
ming into a possible snag. Sen
ator E. o. McCue, jr., of Char
lotteSville introduced a resolu-
ton asking for a commission
study of the work load and juris-
diction of the various courts
throughout the State.
Another resolution asking for
q commission study of higher
educational opportunities was Of
fered by Delegate Harrison
Mann, Joined by others in the
Arlington delegation.
Seek to Avoid Suits.
Delegate Kathryn Stone and
all Of the Arlington and Fairfax
delegations introduced a new bill
to set up machinery that would
validate bond issues of localities.
The idea is to ward off prolonged
litigation. such as a series of
suits by Attorney John Locke
Green. which held up school
construction bonds about two
years ago.
Similar legislation was intro
duced earlier in the session but,
after a subcommittee study, the
patrons agreed to submit a new
bill Incorporating features of the
original measure with other fea-
lures IN q model law prepared by
the American Bar Association. :

Navy It. Talks At Rotary

gleamed from the weekly pamphlet issued by the Club called the Kodarian, was the attendance records of the various Alaskan Rotary Clubs. With an average attendance of 94.5 for January, Kodiak ranked fifth among all the District Clubs.
 Petersburg was third with an average of 97.37 followed by Sitka with 88.51 in 37th place; and Juneau, forty second; Ketchikan forty-sixth; Anchorage, forty-ninth and Fairbanks, sixty second.
 A nice record which reflects oni the general interest the present officers of the Club have in it's welfare, and a record the members may well be proud of.

Many of the slides showed the absolute devasta- ton meted out to Berlin dur ing the later stages of the war. In many places there ap peared to be blocks and blocks of piles of debris, literally mountains of it, which the Berlinites are diligently trying to clear and rebuild into the beautiful city that Berlin and her century old buildings were prior to World War II. The city parks have been trans formed into huge gardens to help feed a vast city.

B52 Force To
Garry H-Bonlb
Being Built
By ELTON {. FAY

WASHINGTON R - Americas
new H-bomb striking force viii
consist of II wings of high-speed,
long-range B52 jet bombers-four
more wings than previously an
nounced.
This force, Pentagon officials
said today, viii gradually replace
during the next two or three years
the present fleet of heavy strategic
bombers-the B36 powered with
combination piston-jet plant.
The cost of the program, based
on estimates of the average cost
Of B52s when in full production,
the cost of development of the
first two prototype planes, of
tanker planes for refueling and of
putting into operation a second
source of production, may be
about $4,000, ,000, 900.
Until this new indication was
made by Pentagon officials, who
may not be identified, the Air
Force had admitted officially only
that the program called for seven
wings Of B52s. A heavy bomber
wing includes some 80 planes plus
supporting elements.
The first B52s are scheduled for
delivery to operating units next
fall. One official said the Air Force
Is ''bucking time" obviously re-
ferring to the reported rapid build
up Of Russia's air fleet.
The B52 is being built at two
plants of Boeing Airplane Co.,
Seattle and Wichita. It is powered
with eight J57 engines, each pro-
ducing about 10000 pounds thrust.
Maximum weight Of the plane, full
ly loaded with fuel and bomb, is
about 100000 pounds, somewhat
less than the B36.
Secretary Of Air Harold Talbot
has said the present range of the
. B52 is about 5000 miles, with hope
for extending that to 10000.
In-1ight refueling from a tanker
plane would extend this greatly.

Ancient Street
System Slows
Istanbul Cars

ISTANBUL B-Driving in the
crowded streets of 2,614-year-old
Istanbul, 1t takes an hour some
times to 60 few miles. But
look at the official statistics indi-
Gates that can't be true.
Traffic police headquarters lists
only 10,773 automobiles in this city
OF 100000. In addition there are
1886 trucks, 381 buses and 946
motorbikes.
The traffic problem is out of
proportion because it's an old city.
Except for a few main thorough
fares, most streets are cobblestone
lanes, built on and around the
seven hills that dominate the city.
The few main streets get jammed
when everyone goes to work in
the morning and goes home at
night.
Orhan Eyupoglu, college-trained
head of the traffic police, keeps
185 traffic officers at work daily.
That's better than one to every 100
vehicles.
There were 1,315 traffic acci-
dents last year, causing 81 deaths
and LAS injuries. There were H.
911 persons arraigned for traffic
violations, plus 15,72S others fined
on the spot by traffic police.
There are plans to ease the traf-
nc pressure with a street widen
ing program, plus more unusual
solutions, such as burrowing tun-
mel from one end of the city to
the other, and putting in moving
stairways for pedestrians.
