Fast Action Urged
To Project Potomac
Planners Cite
Problems of
Water Supply

Fast and dramatic" action
for a program to protect the
Potomac River as the Metro
lpolitan Areas major water
supply was urged today by the
National Capital Regional Plan
ming Council.
Max S. Wehrly, council chair
man, made the point in a letter
to the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin.
Mr.. Wehrly praised the com.
missions recent newsletter ar
ticle expressing concern over
lack of master plan that would
govern location of public agen-
cies and private developments
in the surrounding areas of
Maryland and Virginia. One of
the examples of planning prob
lens that must be met, accord
ing to the newsletter, is the
failure to date of the Atomic
Energy Commission to consider
anything but its own sewage dis
IpoSal needs in its plans for a
headquarters building near Ger
mantown, Md.
Would Welcome Farley
Speaking for the council, Mr..
Wehrly said that that group
would welcome participating in
another conference dealing with
such matters as water supply
and river pollution.
He said. however, that he be-
lieves something considerably
stronger" than a conference il
needed before the situation be-
comes more critical than at pres
emit"
| One reason for stronger meas
ures. he said. is that the public
GENERALLY fails to appreciate the
seriousness of the problems
raised. He said he also believes
that Congress has not become
seriously interested in the prob
lem, despite its frequent pres
entation to the legislators. =.
Cites Lack Of Power
Unfortunately" Mr.. Wehrly
wrote, neither your commission
nor the regional council has more
than advisory powers. This has
permitted the various Federal
departments as well as private
and local interests each to pur-
! sue their independent courses
with impunity."
> For the proposed conference
. to be successful, he added, sit
! must in some dramatic fashion
I point up the fact that at both
. the Federal and local levels poll
$ tics and local interests must give
; way to the overriding considera-
' tons of protecting the one source
of water upon which the entire
! Metropolitan Area will inevitably
/ depend"
: What the situation calls for,
, Mr.. Wehrly asserted, lis a fast
, action program" that will CO.
! incide with the Army Engineer
Corps current study of the Po-
> tomac basin. The program
should also include congressional
action broadening and strength
lening the powers of "appropri-
ate" agencies, among them the
Potomac Basin Commission and
the Engineer Corps.

He said his proposed construc-
ton is not connected with the
development on Orchard alley
which protesting property own
lers have taken to court in an
effort to prevent.
With respect to the small piece
of property which the District
wants dedicated, Commissioner
David Karrick asked Mr.. Wheel
er what would be the case if he
did not own the property at the
time the District wanted it. Mr.
Wheeler said he would not sell it
What if your estate sells it?'
asked Mr.. Karrick.

said Mr.. Wheeler.
John j. Dryer, counsel fol

said the citizens were there tt

of the T-shaped right of way or

would be alley dwellings.

$4,000 to 100000 on the prop
erty, on P street between Thir-

NV, which he has contracted
to buy.
Mr.. Wheeler proposes to cut
what he calls a street, 40 feet
wide and T-shaped, in the block
on which the houses would be
built.
Opponents today commended it
would not be a street but an
alley and would mean another
alley development for George
town, further undesirable crowd
ing of the area and depressed
property values.
Alley Project Debated
Mr.. Wheeler said the Sur
Iveyors Office is asking that he
at the same time give the city
another piece of property about
10 by Is feet in size for a con-
nection with Orchard alley ir

He said he is willing to give
the city the property, but that
he would like to keep it unit
two other property owners give
parts of their land also needed
for widening this alley. He ar
gued these donations are in
doubt.
Surveyor Francis Healy con-
tended Mr.. Wheeler wanted to
use the property meanwhile for
off street parking. Mr.. Wheeler
said that in any case, the prop
erty would be available when
the District needed it.
Sees Values Enhanced
Mr.. Wheeler said he respected
the tradition of Georgetown and
that he believed his development
would improve, rather than de-
tract from the value of the block.

The
Rambler
Newsmen Have Such
Pressing Problems
By JACK JONAS

There were a lot of weighty
problems hanging in the bal
ance just before President
Eisenhower's press confer
ence yesterday.
1t looked as if all of Wash
ington was going to try to jam
into Room 474 in the Old
State Department Building.
BY $50 am. the double line
in front of the big oak doors
was already 20 deep.
The television cameramen
were inside, setting up their
cameras, and the reporters in
line outside were checking
their pens to make sure they
were working.
Within half an hour, the
lines stretched all along the
wide buildings middle CORR
dor, almost out of sight.
One basic problem alread
under discussion at the heac
of the line was summed up
by one man, who complained:
when are we going to get
to sit down? My feet hurt. 1"
Farther down the line, an
other man was responding
a colleague:
"You think you'ue GO
troubles! Here it is the frs
of the month, and you ought
to see the size of my bills :"
And still another was peer
ing over the shoulder of the
man in front of him, helpinr
him read his newspaper.
Mantle hit any more?
the kibitzer asked.

.Quantico Cuts
Car 1921
Marines Give Credit
To Route | Petrol

Chalk up another victory for
the Marine Corps. this time in
traffic study.
The Marine base at Quantico,
Va. announced yesterday that
its highway patrol along a 90
mile section of U. S. Route l.
between Fredericksburg and
Woodbridge-has cut the num-
Der Of Quantico Marine fatali-
ties by 88.9 per cent.
The reduction, the Marines
said, is based on a comparable
period last year and covers the
nine and a half months that the
highway patrol plan has been
in action.
Nine Marines were killed and
so others injured from October
Is, 1854. to July 81, 1855, in rs
different accidents. In the same
period this year, there was only
Marine killed and 10 injured
in 81 accidents.
Enforcement Pays OFF
Here" said Mai. Donald D
Pomerleau, provost marshal al
Quantico, ARE conclusive figures
to prove that selective law en-
forcement pays off,"
Maj. Pomerleau said he anC
his staff made careful studies Of
accidents involving QuanticC
Marines during 1854 when 7 out
of 10 Marine fatalities occurred
on this one stretch of Route l
In 1855, he added, eight of the
nine Marine fatalities were or
the same portion.
The base started a two.
vehicle patrol last October Is
with three officers and six non
commissioned officers takinl
part.
Deterring Effect Cited
while our patrol has no jur
isdiction over civilian violators
it does have a lettering effec
upon all motorists who see on
police-equipped vehicles" Maj
Pomerleau said.
Military violators. Maj. Pc
Imerleau said, are brought init
triffic court at the proves
marshal's Office. They are sub
ject to loss of their driving priv
ileges on the Marine base. /
they are from other installations
their commanding officers ar
notified.
Since its inception. the patrol
have covered 50.l7l miles il
1851 working hours.

Many of the present guests o.
the hotel were not in such {

Mr.. Rocchio said he could moi
understand why the guess still
remaining in the hotel were sur.
prised by the orders to vacate
and the curtailing of services.
1T was common knowledge

was talking about it and they
could see the workmen survey
ing the place for repairs.

Hot water has been cut off tc
