District Heads
Confer Today
On Pepeo Plant
Consider Sending
Representative to
Loudoun Hearing

The District Commissioners
were to meet today to decide
what measures. If any. they
should take now on the contro-
|versial location of a new cleo
trio power plant athwart the
Icity's sole source Of water.
One of the immediate items
flor discussion, it was learned, is
whether to send a District Gov
|ernment representative to sit in
ION a public hearing, scheduled
for tonight before the Loudoun
County Board Of Zoning Appeals.
The case at issue involves the
petition of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. for industrial coming,
which would permit construction
of a $40 million SOC. 900 kilowatt
power generating station on the
Potomac River shore. seven miles
upstream from Great Falls.
Postponement Sought
The coming board already has
been requested to postpone the
hearing for as long as so days
pending analyses by hydraulic
engineers and pollution experts
ION the possible harmful effects
the plant might have on the
river water.
Postponement Is sought by the
Washington District Engineer
and a group of citizens in both
Loudoun and Montgom cry
Counties.
Indications today are that the
District Commissioners also
would favor a delay. pending
studies.
1t was likely the coming board
will not decide on postponement
until the Pepco case is called to-
night. A board official said this
lis the first postponement request
the board has ever received.
Conference With Lane
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said he planned to con-
fer today with Brig. Gen. Thomas
A. Lane, Engineer Commissioner
who is just returning to town
from leave. Mr.. Mclaughlin is
Commissioner in charge of health
matters. Gen. Lane, an Army
Engineer Corps officer, is CHIEF
of the water and sewer divisions
Both officials said they will

to be brought up to date on all
developments. The Office of the
Washington District Engineer

Foirfox Agrees to. Buy
|AnnondoIe Water Firm

Fairfax County has officially
decided to enter the water bust.
ness. hoping that on November
voters will approve a $50 million
revenue bond referendum to pay
for the program.
Otherwise. the Board Of County
Supervisors decided yesterday
some $1.25o.000 will be dor.
rowed" out Of the general
fund this fall to pay for the
Annandale Water Co.
An agreement to purchase the
utility was approved by a 6-to-1
vote and was officially executed
after the meeting adjourned
about 6:45 pm. Purchase price
was $950,000 with the county
assuming liabilities estimated al
about $500. 900.
Mrs. Anne Wilkins made the
motion to approve the sale with
Supervisor c. B. Runyon voting
against 1t. Those voting in the
negative took the position that
the purchase should be delayed
until it is determined first
whether votes approve the bond
referendum this fall for a county
wide migrated water system.
Option Expired
The trouble with that plan
was that James McWhorter
president Of the company, had
refused to extend the county's
90-day option to buy which ex-
|pired at midnight last night.
Supervisor Maurice Fox OBJ
tanned unanimous support for q
second resolution which pro-
vided that in the event the ref
erendum fails to pass, the gen.
eral fund would be reimbursed
from revenue from the new wa.
ter system with interest at the
rate of 3 per cent.
County Executive C. C. Massey
had estimated that, based on
financial data given the county
by Mr.. McWhorter, 1t would re-
quire about IS years to repay the

Business and Humor
At Top of Chest Drive

people are asked to give on pay
day, they will want to donate
once and forget it. If asked when
they're broke, they will accept
the idea Of instalment giving.
1nstalment giving produces two
and q half times as much money,
Mr.. Morris says.
Another principle is-name the
charity you want to give to. Some
peoples "sales resistance takes
the form Of objections to this or
that Chest agency.
That's negative and silly"
MIR. Morris says. TEL each per-
son to specify the agency he
wants his money to 60 to. There
are ITO agencies in this Commu-
nifty Chest Federation. and some
of them naturally are closer to
you than Others"
Strong for United Fund
Mr.. Morris is a strong united
fund" man. He hopes this will
be the last Community Chest
campaign as such. But the best
way to get a united fund estab-
lished here by next year is for
the public to vote united fund"
by giving to the Chest. This, he
says, will show the independent
national agencies which are
reluctant to join the local Chest
that the people want to give
through single campaign.
A businessman himself. Mr..
Morris believes the business com.
munity is the key to his cam
Ipaign's success.
That's where the potentiali-
ties are he says, land that's
what viii make or break u.s."
Accordingly, he has lined up an
imposing array of bank presi-
dents and heads of large corpo-
rations, chain stores, department
stores and utilities to direct the
divisions Of his organization.
The businessmen are being told
Ito stress payroll deductions as
the painless. "businesslike" way
Iof giving.
Introduced Night Games
That night baseball? That's
10 clue to the personality of e. K.
Morris. You would expect such
an active businessman to have
little time for watching the game
much less getting mixed UP in it.
But E. K. claims the distinc-
ton Of having introduced night
baseball to Griffith Stadium.
Along with running his storage
business, Mr.. Morris spent nine
years, from 1888 to 1941, as the
head coach Of the George WASH
Iington University baseball team.
His first year. he decided that
the way to put baseball up with
football as a collegiate sports
attraction was to play it at night.
He persuaded Clark Griffith to
install the lights. forerunners of
the big ones erected years later.
and played his entire 1888 sched-
ule at night.
Sense of humor? Mr.. Morris
says his favorite image of him
self as Community Chest CAM
lpaign chairman comes from his
cook. The woman, when she
learned of his appointment, con-
graduated him and said:
"Oh you'll like that. You'll
meet so many people. It will
be like the job I had before
! came here-I was an elevator
Operator"

Mr.. Battle Berries said there is
