dredge up the sludge that has
settled in the river at the present
raw sewer outfalls and would use
it for fills.
"I doubt If would have any
trouble getting rid Of the dried
sludge. There would be trucks
in after it by the thousands"
Mr.. Hollis said he also would
modernize Washington's combi-
nation sewers, relieving the pol
luton at the outfalls of the
storm sewers.
What about cost?
WELL" he said, "this is just
a guess, but I would say it woulc
cost closer to 5000 million thar
800 million"
Where would the money come
from?

New Virus Seen
In Polio Cases

The large number Of polio
cases reported in the Metro
politan area this year may not be
polio at all but a new virus in
lection. according to the Septem-
Der issue of the Arlington County
Medical Society Bulletin.
An article by DR.. Joseph Kiesel,
of Arlington. medical news editor
of the bulletin, said that unre-
ported studies by the National
Institutes of Health in Bethesda
intimate that q large percentage
Iof the nonparalytic cases re-
ported in the metropolitan area
are actually turning out to be
due to a new virus"
The article said the new virus
is typed ape or Coxsackie strain,
or both.
These viral infections produce
lymphocypic meningitis and
severe myalgia and are most
difficult to distinguish from nom
paralytic poliomilitis," the arti-
Gle said.
DR.. Kiesel noted that the Incl
dence of reported polio cases this
year Ia Arlington and Alexandra
has shown no substantial in-
crease as compared to the NUM-
ber reported on the same date
last year. On the other hand,
Fairfax reports an increase Of
26 cases He said the rise In
cases were actually Of the nom
paralytic type.
DR.. Kiesel concluded:
"It will be interesting to await
the final data to determine If the
increase of the reported cases Of
polio are true polio or a type OF
viral meningitis.

Bond Issue Urged to Speed
New Arlington Sewage Plant

Jurisdictions now contributing
to the pollution Of the Potomac
In the Washington area.
Representative Broyhill. Re-
publican of Virginia, declared:
"An inescapable conclusion is
the creation Of an area-wtde
commission to coordinate all
anti-pollution activity, to plan
in concert and to carry out those
plans by proceeding in one in
stead Of a score Of different d.
rections."
The legislator repeated his
intention Of introducing a bill
in the next session of Congress
to create such a commission.
He said that he expects that his
measure and a similar one Of
fered by Senator Morse, Demo-
|crat Of Oregon, can be merged
effectively and on a nonpartisan
basis.
Complaints Of residents Of the
Dogue Creek area south Of Mount
Vernon and near Fort Belvoir
were aired. H. F. Wagner, who
lives in the Mount Vernon Ter
race subdivision, wanted to know
why Fairfax County plans to
build a secondary treatment
plant there in two stages at a
$609, 900 cost when it would be
$139, 900 less to construct the
plant all at once.
Stuart Finley, director Of the
program, invited his audience:

A l0-year speedup in building

BY JAMES BIRCHFIELD
Star stan Correspondent

HAGERSTOWN. Md. Sept. a..
The formation Of a tri-State
sanitary authority has been ad-I
vanced here as an efficient
means of cleaning the Potomac
River in the Washington Metro
politan Area.
The authority idea was ex-
planned by United States Public
Health Service engineers attend
ing the Fall meeting of the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin.
The thority would be
charged with the collection and
treatment of sewage wastes fl om
Washington and the suburban
areas in Maryland and Virginia.
1t would be given the power to
build the necessary trunk system
for collecting sewage. to locate
and construct adequate treat
ment facilities and to operate
the treatment plants.
The number of treatment
plants and their location would
remain an engineering problem.
They would be placed so that
sewage from the entire metro
politan area could be collected
and treated at the least cost.
Such a system, which also
would include funds for modern
izing Washington's combination
storm and sanitary sewers, would
cost between 500 million and
5000 million, according to mere
guesses" of engineers.
Mark D. Hollis, assistant sur
geon general and chief Public
Health Service sanitary engineer,
said in an interview here. during
the commission sessions, that
the Washington pollution prob
lem is one largely of costs and
cooperation among the various
political subdivisions of the Met
ropolitan Area.
He pointed out that engineers
have the know-how when it
comes to correcting the pollution
from sanitary wastes. It is merely
a problem of facilities.
eff I had the go-ahead signal
from Congress and the funds to
back it up," Mr.. Hollis said," I
would bring the sewage from
Virginia across the Potomac near
one Of the bridges and treat it
