City Is Urged
To0rder Cut in
Water Waste
Officials Ask Device
To RecircuIote Liquid
In Cooling Plants

District water officials today
asked the Commissioners to APP
prove a regulation that would
cut down on heavy use of water
by air conditioning units.
Roy L. Orndorff. planning
superintendent of the Sanitary
Engineering Department, said
air conditioning units in the
city have become so numerous
since 1916 that the District
water system is being strained
beyond its safe capacity.
Would Reuse Water.
The regulation sought would
require installation of devices to
recirculate water used in large
air conditioning equipment. with
resulting economy in the amount
of water used.
Mr.. Orndorff said, for exam
pie. that one theater on F street
NV. uses between 100000 and
100000 gallons of water daily
during hot spells for its air-con-
ditioning plant. The water is
used only once.
He pointed out that with new
water and sewer charges to go
into effect. it will pay Arms with
large air-conditioning plants to
recirculate the water.
Water Capacity Exceeded.
Mr.. Orndorff said the filter
plants in the District water Sys-
tenn have a safe capacity of 2O9
million gallons daily. On some
hot days last summer, he said,
the city used 260 million gallons
daily.
The Commissioners took the
suggested regulation under adj
visement. The hearing was one
Of number held during "Regu-
lation Day" at the District
Building.

Safe Too Tough, Thieves
Loot Church's Icebox

Thieves who tried to crack the
vault of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church last night
had to be satisfied with a bit of
ice cream.
Entering by breaking out a
basement window, they knocked
off the dial of the f1rst-floor
walk-in safe and took off the
metal molding around the door.
But that was as far as they
could go.
Desk drawers in the Office were
ransacked. and in a basement
refrigerator half of a brick of
ice cream was missing. 1t. Irving
Lubore of the safe squad said it
appeared to be the work of juve-
niles.

Bill in House Seeks
Creation Of Liquor
Monopoly for D. {.
By Harold B. Rogers

Representative Andrews. DEM
ocrat, of Alabama. today intro
duced in the House a bill to Gre
ate a city government monopoly
in the sale of liquor. leaving only
beer and light wine to be handled
by privately-owned stores.
The measure would direct the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
board to establish and maintain
government liquor stores at
places to be selected by the board
in the city.
Profits from the monopoly
control would be placed In the
United States Treasury to the
credit of the District.
Civil Service Personnel.
The stores would be manned
by civil service personnel under
control of the ABC board
Emphasizing that the District
is in serious need of more rev.
enue to support its proposed big
$305 million 10-year public works
program, Mr.. Andrews. in a brief
speech on the House floor ex-
planned his bill to colleagues.
In his opinion, the lawmaker
said, it is better to have a mo-
nopoly for the sale of liquor
here in the hands of the Gov
eminent than to put a tax on
groceries or any other proposed
increased taxes.
States Profits Cited.
Declaring that at least is
states have state liquor stores,
Mr.. Andrews said his home state
of Alabama made substantial
profits by such state control and
sale of liquor.
Retail sales of alcoholic bev-
erages in the District of Column
bia in the fiscal year of 1852 were
about SITS million, Mr.. Andrews
told the House.
Virginia made a profit on its
liquor stores of $19,904,0 900 in
1852, Mr.. Andrews said.

116 Ex-U. 5. Aides
Listed as Refusinq
Loyalty Testimony

The Civil Service Commission
SO far has found names of ll6
former Government workers who
refused. on constitutional
grounds. to answer congressional
committee questions about their
loyalty or possible Communist
connections.
The figures were compiled for
Chairman ReeS of the House
Civil Service Committee. who
made them public yesterday.
Most of the 116 left the Gov
eminent in the 1940s. some as
early as 1884. None is now in
the Federal service. Mr.. Rees
said he has asked for further
reports from the commission as
it's investigation of some Z
million card records continues.
Among those refusing to tes-
tify, % were once employed by
the Army or other defense agen-
cies and six by the State Depart
ment. The others were scattered
among various agencies, many
Of which no longer are in exist
ence.
Believes There Are More.
II think there are more than
that" Mr.. Rees said. asserting he
has asked Commission Chairman
Philip Young for further re-
ports.
Mr.. Rees had asked for the
names of all Federal workers in
voking the fifth amendment as
grounds for refusal to answer
questions involving their loyalty
or possible Communist connec-
tons.
In submitting the first list,
Mr.. Young said the investigation
is still incomplete and involves
examination of some 7 million
card records.
I'm most instances" he in
formed Mr. Rees. "the refusal
to testify occurred subsequent to
the termination of the Federal
employment and, in most cases,
refusal to testify in itself was
not the cause of the termina-
ton"
But he added:
THE information which re-
suited in the individuals being
called to testify. no doubt, was
a factor in the termination of
many of these employees"
Six Left After 1850.
The commissions list shows
that only six of the 116 left Gov
eminent service after 1850.
Two were United States en-
ployes of the United Nations; one
was employed by the Army Sig
nal Corps at Fort Monmouth,
N. j., and the other three worked
at the Government Printing Of
flee, the Bureau of Mines and the
Labor Department.
Practically all the instances of
refusal to testify occurred in 1852
and 1858 when the individuals
were summoned before the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee, the Senate Internal Security
Committee headed by Senator
Jenner and the Senate Perma-
nent Investigations subcommit-
tee under Senator Mccarthy.

Arms Shipment
 Arrives Guatemala From Red Poland

WASHINGTON, tR - Guate- mala's chief diplomat here stalked out of an inter-American Char mony" meeting last night as Sen. Wiley R-Wis) spoke of the "om- inous arrival" in Guatemala of "a tremendous shipment of arms" from Communist Poland
 Wiley, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was chief speaker at a dinner in honor of Latin American diplo- mats and he used the occasion to discuss a State Department an- nouncement that a Swedish ship was unloading at a Guatemalan port arms which it reportedly had taken on at Stettin in Poland.
 Wiley did not name Guatemala, but it was clear he was talking about that Central American na- ton, which he has described be- fore as "a Communist beach head in the Americas"
 Everybody, said Wiley, is 'keen- ly aware of the grim implica- tions" of the news about the arms shipment, which he said may be "a part of the master plan of world communism"
 At that point in Wiley's speech, up rose Dr. Alfredo Cocano, act ing head of the Guatemala em- bassy. He walked to where w. Cameron Burton, president of the host District of Columbia Bar Assn. was seated near the speak er's rostrum. He thanked Burton for the invitation and said he had to leave.
 Outside the banquet room, the Guatemalan told neWsmen: II don't know anything about that arms shipment"

 Ford was returned to jail pend ing a further hearing next week.
 Detectives said Ford told them he dosed the sweet with the sex ual stimulant (cantharidin and gave a piece to Miss Grant.
 "We were very fond of each other," they quoted the confes- sion. "She kept putting me off and I made up my mind to give her cantharidin to stimulate her desire for me. I cannot say how Miss Malins got the other piece except that it must have been an accident"
 Ford himself was taken to the hospital at the time the girls died He complained of severe head pains. Detectives quoted him as saying he had eaten some of the candy, but put the drug only in that intended for Miss. Grant.

Carpenter Locals Reject Working Agreement With General Contractors

ANCHORAGE, RAThe Alaska Council of Carpenters has reject ed the proposed 1854 working ag- reement with the Associated Gen. eral Contractors for lack of a two thirds majority vote of accept ance.
 Seven locals in the territory voted to accept the contract but five were against it.
 Gordon Fischer, business agent for the carpenters said there will be no work stoppage because of the rejection.
 Well just have to go back into negotiating sessions with the con- tractors to consider about three articles in the contract that the members are not satisfied with," he said. He apparently referred to provisions regarding working conditions.
 The contract proposal calls for a 15-cents- s-an-hour increase in pay in southeastern Alaska to $3.3712 base and 1212 cents in westward Alaska for a $3.69 base.

 Eisenhower Calls For Continuance Stalled Hearings

WASHINGTON, R President Eisenhower today called for the McCarthy-Army hearings to con- tinue-let the chips fall where they may.
 And in quick team play, Secre- tary of the Army Stevens declared that at no time did higher-ups in the administration give orders to the Army in the case-the issue over which the hearings were sus- pended a week last Monday
 Eisenhower and Stevens joined in maneuver obviously aimed at seeing that the onuS is not laid on the administration if the hear ings are not resumed, and further to cut the ground from under the contention by Sen. Mccarthy that presidential secrecy order makes it impossible to get the full truth.
 Eisenhower told a news confer ence the hearings should not end inconcluSiVely and without the public's getting all the facts. He said he has no intention of with drawing his secrecy order regard ing an administration conference of last January, and was aston ished it was being used as a reason or excuse for suspension of the hearings.
 Mccarthy said in a statement: If the senators maintain the po- sition which they took in execu- tive session, and it's on the rec ord, that this means we can't get all the truth, then the (presiden- tiaD order will have the effect of getting us back to the all-im- portant work of getting Com munists out of defense plants and the government.
 While I don't like the method used, I can't help but applaud the result"
