The inhabitants of the Poto-
mac River valley can no longer
afford to ''procrastinate" in de-
veloping the valleys all-impor-
tant commodity, water, Col. Ray
Adams, Washington district en-
gineer, declared yesterday.
Contrasting the rivers record
low-fiow with projected water
needs by 1870, the Engineer
Corps official warned that the
entire area faces a serious water
supply problem.
''Procrastination cannot be
afforded" Col. Adams asserted
Man can suffer through floods
/, IL he is willing to take the losses
But he can't afford to do without
water even If he has billions OF
dollars to lose"
Col. Adams was one of five
speakers featured in a sympo-
stun, 1.-The Potomac Valley: Ar
Underdeveloped Area" at the
second annual meeting of the
Middle Atlantic Division of the
Association of American Geog-
faphers in the National Academy
Of Sciences.
Figures Cited
According to calculations b!
his ONCE, the expected needs o
communities, industrial and ag
ricultural developments in thu
Potomac valley in the next /!
years will soar to more than ;
billion gallons Of water daily
This would be about double tn,
rivers low fiow recorded at Grea
Falls during the drought of 1880
Aside from the so million gal
Ions daily supplied by Occooual
Creek and the Patuxent River
the Washington area has M
principal source of water but tn
Potomac. Col. Adams empha
sized. A system Of storing tn
Potomac waters by dam woul
seem to be indicated, he said.
Frank L. Weaver, chief of tn
river basins division of the Fed
eral Power Commission, reportel
that only 2 per cent of the Pc
tomac's potential hydro-electri
resources have been developed
Thus. 1t ranks as the least de
veloped river in the natior
standing well below the % pc
cent development average Of al
the principal rivers.
On the subject Of damming tn
Potomac. Mr.. Weaver recalle'
that the FPC suggested II year
ago that two low-level dams b
built at Chain Bridge and Plum
mer's Island. rather than q sin
gle high-level structure at tn
bridge as recommended by tn
Engineer Corps in 1914. Tw,
low dams would avoid inundatinl
large potentially recreationa
areas. including the historil
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, MI
Weaver pointed out.
Park Service. Has Concern
Recreation interests were rep
resented by Ben H. Thompson
of the National Park Service
whose fears concern delays IL
acquiring riverside lands for parl
use and the construction Of dam!
and followup spread of indus

Mr.. Thompson added that {

Also at Mr.. Kings request, the

meeting of the 18th to allow
Sandy Spring residents to be

The legal redress committee of

The fight at Sherwood is more
obvious. Board Member Harri-
son King informed the SCHOOL
board Monday night that Sandy
Spring residents are opposed to
the new 16-room addition includ-
ed in this years capital budget
and are asking instead for a six
room addition.
This unusual request by
parents for less classroom space
instead of more could be explain
ed by the fact that if Sherwood
Highs present capacity of 1926
were increased to 1928 by the 16-
room addition in 1857, it could
then accommodate the 274 Negro
students which would be its
assignment under a fully int
grated county system.

In addition, a large part of the

details have not been worked out,

the annex. If an increase in
enrolment is experienced it may
be- necessary to transfer addi-
tional classes later in the year.
Because of inadequate kitchen
facilities, the usual school lunch
program is not possible at Glen
view. This means that most of
the second graders must bring
their own lunch with only milk
being available at the school.

Staff Reporter

Inc silent 1lght OF the anti
indignation forces in Montgom-
cry County became clearer this
week with the development of
two situations in the Rockville
up-county area.
The only open expression of
opposition so far this summer
has come from the Rollingwood
community. No other organized
protest has been made by the
% downcounty schools slated to
receive Negro students this fall.
The silence is particularly
noticeable in the upcounty area
which is not included in this
initial step of the integrated pro-
gram. But protests from West
Rockville and Sherwood High
parents may be indications of a
coming trend to continue the
fight on the lines of the school
building program without the
subject of integration ever being
mentioned.
The only exception to this
golden rule" of silence was the
statement of West Rockville's
PTA president, Commander B. P.
Clark, at the August IS school
board meeting that West Rock
vile parents are interested in
getting adequate school facilities
"at this time and we are not to
decide whether to involve our
children in the emotional expert.
ence of Indignation"
The situation at this school can
be explained by the obvious over.
crowding of $50 children in a $50.
capacity school. 1t is in the
answers to this problem that the
"pros" and ICONS" of Indignation
become apparent.
Three solution are possible: a
permanent addition which would
make this school one of the
largest in the county and beyond
good administrative practise; a
temporary that could be re-
moved once the pressure is re-
lieved by construction elsewhere
in Rockville; or indignation with
the enlargement of the present
Negro elementary, Rock Terrace
which is still under the optimum
size and is located near the west
end school with no access roads
in that direction.
The present PTA executive
board and ITO of its members
expressed themselves in a petition
to the School Board Monday
night in favor of the permanent
addition although this means
double sessions for another year
at least
This hold-out for the perma.
nent addition becomes under
