telephone Richmond. Va, from
Alexandria than from Washing
ton.
Similar savings ranging from
5 cents to Warrenton up to IS
cents to Roanoke are reflected
in "person-to-person" rates
scheduled in the recently dis
tributed directories Of the Ches-
apeake & Potomac Telephone
Co.
Why is this so? There are a
number of reasons-some tech
nical. The primary reason seems
to be that two different rate
making authorities set charges
on interstate and interstate
calls.
Both the telephone company
and the Federal Communica-
tons Commission-the inter-
state agency-say that, in gen.
eral, it is cheaper per mile to
transmit messages over long dis
tances than short distances.
The Virginia State Corpora
ton Commission, whose mem
bers have been permitted by law
to receive personal phone serv-
ices free. says it tries to allow
the phone company a 6 per cent
rate Of return on its net invest
ment, less depreciation. The

new small watershed program. "
Another committee. headed by
E. H. Taylor of Country Gentle
man magazine, said multipur-
pose programs can be planned
to yield such benefits as erosion
control, reforestation, stream
sterilization, flood reduction,
water supplies and increased
recreational opportunities.
Easy to See Benefits.
1.-THE primary or small water
shed is also the most effective
approach from the standpoint of
people as we'll as nature. Be-
cause it is close to them, both
rural and townspeople living in
it can see at first hand the mu-
tual benefits they will share in
a watershed development pro-
gram. This unity of interest
encourages operative action
and a willingness to assume 10
cal responsibility" the report
stated.
The group recommended in
creased Federal and State re-
search to determine what phys
ical measures are most effective
in watershed development. It
advocated action by the States
not now so equipped to set UP a
competent agency to assure full
cooperation and coordination
at the State level.

A group of conservationists
declared here today that greater
and more effective efforts should
be made at all levels of Govern
ment against water pollution.
In a report to the National
watershed Congress, opening a
two-day meeting at the Hotel
Statler, the conservationists as
serted that in many parts of the
United States water and water
shed problems are complicated
by pollution. They said Z control
will increase opportunity for
small watershed Improvement
measures.
The report was submitted by
Clair P. Guess, jr., Of the South
Carolina State Soil Conservation
Committee. He spoke for the
Watershed Committee assigned
to review existing and needed
FederalA legislation.
Watershed Act Applauded.
The committee expressed graft
ification that the SD Congress
passed small watershed act. It
said, however, that the law has
some undesirable limitations and
restrictions.
The committee suggested that
the bulk of the act should be put
through a reasonable but limited
testing time to give administra-
tors an opportunity to show
what benefits can accrue from
the law in the present form. But
it held that the limiting and re-
stricting language of at least one
section should be improved at
the earliest opportunity "in order
to permit greater and more va
ried benefits to be accorded the
people of America through this

Watershed Council
Forms for Protection
OF Rock Creek Area

Plans were under way today for
creation of a Rock Creek water
shed council for the protection
and the benefit of Rock Creek,
which flows through the District
into the Potomac.
The council was authorized
yesterday at a meeting at
Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School. Representatives of con-
servation organizations, planning
groups and the Montgomery
County government attended.
DR.. T. B. Syrnons. former act
ing president of the University
of Maryland, was authorized to
name a committee of five to or
ganize the watershed council. Or.
Symons was chairman of yes
terday's meeting. He is a resi-
dent of Prince Georges County
and a prominent conservation
leader in Maryland.
PecuIiarities Stressed.
It was pointed out at yester-
days meeting by conservation
lists and planners that Rock
Greek is unlike most other water
sheds. since about one-third of
the entire area drained by the
stream is subject to urban de-
velopment.
It was explained, however.
that protection and development
of this watershed might serve as
q pilot project for other areas.
Bernard Frank of the Forest
Service presented a series of
color photographs showing the
effect of siltation and pollution
in the creek. He said records
show that floods are increasing
in the watershed, From 1888 to
1912 there were IA floods, but
from 1912 to 1850 there were 80.
Maryland Precedent Cited.
Explaining that much of Rock
Creeks pollution derives from
urban development projects, Ed
ward M. Davis, Maryland soil
conservationist, said that devel-
opers might take a pointer from
the Maryland Public Roads Com
mission, which has eliminated
washing from highway construc-
tion. H..
John Bernard, with the Mary.
land Soil Conservation Service
explained that systems might be
given the council under the
watershed protection law, which
provides now Federal aid in
planning watershed projects.
Enthusiastic support of the
council and the project was Of
fered by representatives of the
various planning, park and
county agencies attending the
meeting.
