Area Population
OF ga Million
By 1880 |sSeen
Increase of II Pct.
Forecast by Talbot
In TuIk to Club

The president of the Washing
ton Board of Trade yesterday
predicted the Metropolitan Area
population will reach "a million
by 1980-a TIL per cent increase
over the present 100000.
Addressing a Reciprocity Club
luncheon honoring 26 local civic
a service clubs. Philip M. Tai
bolt said the population of the
District should reach 100000 by
1880. This would be an l1.2 per
cent increase over the present
$4,000.
Suburban population is ex-
pected to grow from the present
1,075,O0 to a 1880 level of g.
100000, Mr.. Talbot said. This
would mean a 1898 per cent in
crease in the next quarter CEN
tury.
Pointing out that the District
population has increased 267 per
cent since 1889. the year the
Board of Trade was organized,
Mr.. Talbot said the board has
been instrumental in promoting
the tremendous expansion" of
the past 81 years.
Growth Pattern Seen
Between 1850 and 1885," he
said, "two-thirds of the popula-
ton increase in the area was
within a 10-mile radius of the
Capitol Between now and 1865
it is quite apparent that most
growth will occur in a band be-
tween 10 and 20 miles from the
Capitol
LAS we approach 1880, the
growth will be still father out
and will extend into Prince
William and Loudoun Counties.
The income level in the Dis
trict, he said. although lower
than in the suburbs. is increasing
and should reach a median yearly
figure of $4,000 by 1880. The
trend for higher-income families
to move to the suburbs will con-
tinue. Mr.. Talbot predicted, but
at a reduced rate.

Work Promised

Democratic Nominee
Outlines Program
For Federal Aid

Democrat Warren D. Quen-
stedt plans to seek greater Fed
eral aid. for cleaning up the
Potomac River Basin and funds
to build water storage dams if
he wins nearby Virginia's 10th
district congressional contest.
The Democratic nominee out
lined his pollution and water
supply proposals in a television
broadcast over Station WMAL
last night. Mr.. Quenstedt is
running against Republican Rep
resentative Joel T. Broyhill.
Warning that water use will
increase several thousand times
in this area during the next
few years, Mr.. Quenstedt said,
If conservation measures are
not taken we will soon find our
selves :: with a serious water short
He recalled that the District
Engineers have planned for years
to build a series of storage dams
on the upper Potomac-but have
gotten little announcement"
from Congress.
Action Is Promised
"One of the first steps / shall
take in Congress will be to spon-
sor more substantial Federal
aprticipation IN the antipolu-
ton program in the Potomac
River Basin-giving due credit
for local efforts" declared Mr..
QuenStedt.
Second. I shall work diligently
to obtain funds for the construc-
ton of necessary water storage
dams in the upper Potomac
Basin"
The Democratic candidate &C
knowledged that there had been
increased attention to the Poto-
mac River recently. He said
Representative Broyhill tried to
capitalize on the subject by in
Producing legislation for a pollu-
ton survey.
And what happened?" asked
Mr.. QuenStedt. Nothing. Oh.
yes, he introduced legislation for
a 100000 survey to determine
antlpollutlon needs, just as he
introduced 81 other bills that
never got out of committee. And
that's where it stopped, as
usual"
Democratic Efforts Cited
The Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin
tried 10 consult with Mr.. Broy-
hill about his bill, but the Con-
gresham apparently did not
choose to meet with the COM

passed providing Federal as
sistance for pollution control,
Mr.. Quenstedt said.
But because of the ineffec-
tiveneSs of our Republican Con-
gresSmen, this bill did not give
credit for the tremendous ac-
complishment of the 10th dis
trict in its own effort to clean
up the Potomac pollution" Mr..
QuenStedt added.

to have his eye on his party's
nomination for Governor of
New York. In both desires he
is displaying the sound polit-

Hall managed the greatest
electoral triumph ever achieved
by a Republican President and
the second greatest in recent

Challenge to Moral Forces

er to risk antagonizing Nasser
or to placate him and the
Arabs, and whether to be firm
or stand by weakly while the
Soviet Union refuses to let
even the observers of the
United Nations get into Hun
gary for an inspection visit.
One thing the United States
cannot afford to do--to cringe
before the perpetrators Of in
justice just because they are
big and powerful.
Moral force requires courage.
1t means that a government or
an alliance or an organization
like the United Nations must
be prepared to carry through
with its resolutions, even if it
involves military force as a
last resort.
The United Nations at the
moment is a cumbersome in
stitution. It has taken lying
down rebuff after rebuff from
the Soviet Union, especially in
the Korean war. The end re-
suit now could be utter failure
OF the U.N. to make its moral
force effective. Then there
would have to be reliance on
the famous Article 81 of the
U.N. Charter which authorizes
defensive alliances like the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization.
1t is significant that the
NATO council is meeting in
Paris this week and Secretary
Dulles is planning to attend
the sessions. The emphasis is
supposed to be on the non
military and political aspects
of the alliance-and how to
strengthen it, Actually, what
NATO can be is an alternative
to the U.N. 1t can be the in
strument of military force that
influences a peaceful settle
ment in Europe, or else it can
be the alliance that fights
World War III.
Nobody can say yet whether
moral force will succeed, but
if the U.N allows itself 70 be
pushed around and shows no
teeth now. then the outbreak
Of World War III through
some explosive incident may
be confidently predicted as in
evitable in the next few years.

Senator Herbert Lehman's seat.
This sidelines Javits so far as

Despite his lone eminence.
New York Republicans had
never really accepted a Javits

direction was in truth exer-
cised by that leading private
citizen, Thomas E. Dewey, from
his downtown law Office.
Dewey's continuing power is
possible only because the party
lacks an important elected
official with wide appeal.
Gov. Averell Hartman has
already announced his inten-
ton of running again, and he
