|FbI Raid Nets

AT Nelson Farm
Four Seized in-Ohio
On Charge Of Selling
Machines in 1854

The Federal Bureau of In
vestigation today raided Charles
E. Nelson's farm at Richie. Md,
and conflscated $4,000 worth of
slot machines which agents said
were delivered a month before
the once-powerful gambling fig-
ure went to Jail for promoting
"a lottery.
Other agents, in simulta-
lneous move, arrested four men
lat Columbus, Ohio. and accused
them of bringing the machines
here illegally.
Forty slot machines were
found in Nelson's farmhouse
attic, the FBI said.
In four other raids in nearby
Maryland the FBI picked up six
additional slot machines. and
said four of them were owned
by Phillip Gray. a major slot
machine distributor, hotel owner
and real estate operator in st.
Marys County.
Delivered In 1854
The FBI said the machines
were delivered here March 4
1854. and that the majority OF
them were sold at Richie foi

Power Project
Called Threat
ToD.C. Wafer
Bucteriu Growth Aid
Seen by Engineer;
Pepco Dissents
By JOHN W. STEP

Washington's water supply
might be endangered by a new
electric power plant planned on
the Potomac River upstream
from the city's raw water in
takes at Great Falls, a report OF
the Washington District Engineer
claims.
The report disclosed to The
Star covers preliminary findings
of a survey being conducted un-
der the supervision of Col. Ray
Adams, District Engineer.
Officials Of Potomac Electric
Power Co., which has proposed
the $40 million, 100000 kilowatt
power generator in Loudoun
County, took exception to the
reports contentious that the
plant likely would:
"a Increase the river tenn
perature 10 to Is degrees. Cd
Cause growth of harmful BAG
terra. 90 Deplete fish life. "a
Ruin the taste of the water. CD
Reduce the potential water sup
ply.
Hearing Due Wednesday
A hearing on the application
for construction of the plant Z
miles north Of Great Falls has
been set next Wednesday before
the County Board of zoning APP
peals.
It is expected that representa-
tives from both the Corps OF
Army Engineers and the District
Government will protest at the
hearing. The District Engineer
is charged by law with providing
a safe and adequate water supply
to the Nations Capital. The
municipal government distributes
the purified product.
The engineers believe the
greatest danger would come from
a heating of the river below the
power plant. They explain that
water pumped in to cool the
condensers of the steam driven
turbines is 10 to IS degrees
warmer when it is discharged
back into the river.
Engineers estimated that in
hot summer months water be-
tween the new Loudoun County
plant and the city's water in
take at Great Falls could reach
as high as 100 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Bacteria Would BE Bred
They said the effects OF such
temperatures would be several
fold. One would be to produce
ideal conditions for breeding Of
so-called pathogenic bacteria
germs potentially harmful to
human beings.
These germs thrive best in
water of 96.6 degrees. and since
water temperatures at Great
Falls run at rs and 30 degrees
in the summer. the additional
10 to Is degrees would induce
