Three Bills by Bailey
Launch Triple Attack
On P Potomac Pollution
By Harold B. Roaers

Three separate bills to reduce
pollution in the Potomac and
other rivers of the country were
before three different House
committees today.
Intended as a so-called three
pronged" attack on the problem,
the legislation was introduced
yesterday by Representative
Bailey. Democrat. of West Vir-
ginia.
The Potomac River is particu-
larly in need Of action to clean
it up. he said. But the Inter-
state Commission on the Poto-
mac River Basin. he charged. has
accomplished very little Of prac-
tical value in this direction in
its several years Of existence.
Industrial Waste. Too.
Not only sewage, but much in
dustrial waste pours into the
Potomac River at various points
upstream even into his own
State Of West Virginia, the leg
islator said.
His three-point program, strik-
ing at city sewage. industrial
pollution and sulphur water
from abandoned coal mines, is
needed as whole to correct the
situation. he said. None of these
alone could do the job, ne in
sisted.
The three bills. assigned to
three different House commit
tees. would:
l. Increase the amount of Fed
eral loans extended by the Fed
eral Government to municfpali-
ties for construction of sewage
treatment plants from the pres
ent one-third to two-thirds of
the cost. 1t also would lengthen
the time for repayment of such
intereSt-bearing loans from the
present 10 years to 80 years. The
bill went to the House Public
Works Committee.
Offers Tax Relief.
2. Authorize private industries
to deduct from Federal income
tax returns the cost of building
installations for treatment of in
duStrial waste and sewage. This
bill permitting amortization of
such cost over a flve-year period
would amend a section Of the
Revenue Code. It went to the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
3. Order sealing abandoned
coal mines to prevent the flow
Of sulphur water into rivers.
This bill would require appro-
priations for the Bureau of
Mines so the Government could
seal such mines no longer ac-
tive. The measure would not
affect mines now being operat-
ed, nor those temporarily made
idle for two years. Beyond two
years. however. there would be
a penalty of one year in a peni-
tentiary for owners who failed
to seal their properties. This
measure went to the Committee
on Interior and InSular Affairs.

A youth acquitted in Prince

OF two 15-year-old District girls
who leaped from his moving car

turned by the county grand jury.

Upper Marlboro Jail yesterday.
Prince Georges Chief Deputy
Sheriff Ellis G. Duley and De-

seat from Camden, S. c., where
he was arrested by city police.
True Bill Sealed.
Stone was indicted December
IA for allegedly leaving the
scene Of an accident. but the
true bill, under court orders,
was sealed until he was returned
to Prince Georges County. The
youth waived extradition.
The officers said Stone had
enrolled in a school of electrical
engineering in Camden under
the CT bill of rights and was to
have begun classwork on Janu-
airy 25. He went to the South
Carolina town after his police
court acquittal to rejoin his
wife who was living there with

New Budget Cuts 10
Permit Tax Slash

Alexandria city officials looked
for new ways to cut the current
budget today after the school
board served notice it could only
turn loose half of a forthcoming
sos, 900 Federal grant.
The city. council had antici-
pated the full S95.00O would be
turned over by the school board
to the general fund. This $685.
900 was supposed to be the prin-
cipal contribution toward a Is
per cent average reduction in
new real estate assessments
promised by city council. In ad-
dition. the council instructed
City Manager Ira Willard to cut
expenses some $164, 900 to make
the assessment reduction pos
Sible.
Must Cut $4,000.
The school boards action Just
means we'll have to find another
$4,000 to cut out of the budged
somewhere" said Vice Mayor
Leroy Bendheim, who led the
movement for an assessment re-
duction.
But I am still confident we
can meet the necessary cuts and
carry out the promised assess
ment relief" said Mr.. Bendheim.
Would Use Street Bonds.
He offered one principal sug-
geStion to balance the budget: ::
Use existing street bond funds
to pay for street construction
that already has been financed
out Of current revenues.
Mr.. Bendheim said there was
just a misunderstanding between
the city council and school board
as result of the latter's decision
to reclaim $4,000 that it earlier
promised the council.
The council school committee
decided that the school superin-
tendent and the city finance di-
rector should deal directly with
each other in future financial
transactions to avoid any new
MISUNDERSTANDING, Mr.. Bend
helm added.
