The united stand of the Arab

by the emergence in Syria of a
dominant military group of pro-
Soviet officers, headed by young
Col. Abdul Hamid Saraj.
Soviet Power Rated High
Although the officers are not

place a high value on Soviet
arms and Soviet political sup

HAN1DEN, Conn, Sept. IL up,
The FBI laboratory in Wash

found in Lake Whitney Sep
TENDER 6. That was five days
after she disappeared from her
carriage in the foyer OF q de-
partment store a little more than
q mile from the lake.
Police and detectives. in their
unceasing efforts to determine
the manner in which the baby
disappeared, are taking the
mother and q friend through a
step-by-step re-enactment Of
their movements on the day they
drove. with the child, from the
Ruotolo home to the store. There
Cynthia was left in her carriage

And while the Governors at
White Sulphur spoke of peace
full uses Of atoms, some of their
legislatures debated explosive
Icurbs on the mixing Of Negroes
and white in the schools and
other places of public assembly.
In the discussion of water
conservation, Gov. McKeldin of
Maryland noted that he is back
ing a proposal before the Legis-
lative Council of the Maryland
General Assembly which would
empower counties to borrow
money to build reservoirs for
farm land irrigation. He said
this is needed in parts Of Central
and Western Maryland.
The legislation would provide
for reservoir funds to be amor
tized from assessments against
landowners who use the water.
II am confident that a vast
majority of the progress-minded
farmers in the ground-water
areas of Maryland would sup
port such a PLAN" said the Gov
ernor. Their interest, of course,
would be developed in legislative
hearings and I strongly favor the
introduction Of such legislation"

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. va, Sept. IL. The Interstate
Commission for the Potomac
River Basin has been asked to
make specific recommendations
to expand its authority to con-
troll Potomac pollution.
The request was submitted to
members of the commission here
yesterday at a luncheon meeting
attended by Gov. McKeldin of
Maryland, Gov. Marland of West
Virginia. and officials of the
Pennsylvania State administra
ton. Gov. Stanley of Virginia
was unable to attend because of
the special session Of his General
Assembly.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane, the
Districts engineer commissioner,
suggested that the group. which
met informally in connection
with the Southern Governors
Conference, call upon the comis-
sion to recommend changes in
the compact governing the
development and control of the
river.

atomic power in this vast region
Of the United States.
The Dixie chief executives
have been exploring the benefits
Of the atomic age for a long
time. At their meeting this
week in the plush Greenbrier
Hotel here they discussed what
they can do to take advantage
Of opportunities that are at
hand. BY resolution today, they
hoped to set a regional course
OF action. ~
Present System Cheaper
Gov. Collins of Florida. urged
the conference to approve in
principle the propositions adj
yanced by Gov. Zimmerman of
South Carolina. that the South
is not ready for a change to nu-
clear electric power because the
present means of production is
cheaper.
There was an important res
ervation. however. Gov. Collins
urged his colleagues to keep a
crack In the door. He suggested
that the South maintain close
watch on developments, just in
] case a review of the subject may
be advisable later on.
This was clear implication that
some observers expect the atomic
experts to come up soon with a
solution to problems which will
slash costs Of producing electric
power The proposal also could
be construed as a warning to
private utilities that their failure
to convert to nuclear power,
when economically feasible,
would invite action by the Gov
errors conference.

tegrated problem requiring
solution on an area basis.
Gov. McKeldin. who was in
strumental in calling the spe-
cial meeting here. said he realizes
the Potomac is primarily a Mary
land waterway. He said Mary
land is not seeking to avoid
responsibility for conservation,
but he said it would be useless
for one State to seek to police
all banks of the river and its
tributaries in other States against
pollution.
He said the Governors con-
cerned and the District commits
sioners were right to initiate the
study to bring the Potomac COM
pact in line with agreements else
where.

ference study which could result
in a compact to establish a
Southern nuclear research center
for industry. This would be
geared to a long-range program
for industrial development.
Despite these and other items
of business, there was something
Iunrealistic about the doings at
the conference, for while the
Governors were talking publicly
about one thing, they were think
ing about another.

BY DICK SLAY

"You can't coach against
height" Russ Lombardy Of
Anacostia said last night. So
the Interhigh League basketball
coaches made sure they included
6-foot-7 Bill Thomas, 6-foot-4
Robert Archer and Demetre Kou-
tras and Dick Wells, both g.
foot-3, on the All-High team
which will oppose the All-Preps
March IL.
The four probably would have
made the squad under any cir
cumstances, but the High
coaches just wanted to be sure
they had the same kind of
height that won for them a year
ago, 1864.
Rebounding strength was the
big difference last year when the
All-Highs took 5-4 edge in this
annual benefit game, which
win be played at Fort Myer gym
nasium, beginning at 3 pm. two
weeks from Sunday. with these
boys participating:
ALL-HIGH-Willie Jones of
Dunbar. Bill Tallant of Cham
berlain, Gene johnson and Wells
of Spingarn, Lew Luce Of Wilson.
Thomas of Phelps, Calvin Knott
of Anacostia. Willie Wood and
Archer of Armstrong. Bob Bolen
of Tech. Jim Pratt of Eastern,
Koutras Of Roosevelt and ODon-
nell Hooks of Cardozo.
ALL-PREP-Jim Mandes and

Dell Of Landon. Tom McCloskey
of Gonzaga, Dick Petrillo of
Carroll, Porter Shreve of st.
Adams, John McDonough of
DeMatha, Dave Wilson of st.
Anthony. Bob Murphy of Priory,
Jim Slant Of Mackin, Tony Car
roll Of Georgetown Prep and
Sandy Ainslie of Episcopal.
The high school coaches chose
Is players instead Of the in
tended IL and the prep school
coaches will decide on one more
boy as soon as 1t is known
whether Ainslie can play. II the
Episcopal star can make it, the
coaches will select either Bill
Sheahan Of Gonzaga or Ernie
Cage Of DeMatha. If Ainslie is
unavailable. both Sheahan and
Cage will be added to make a
squad of Is.
The problem with Ainslie is
that exams at Episcopal High
begin March 9 and end March
Is. His availability for the game
will be decided by school off,
Gals in the, next several days.
There are those who say AIMS
lie is the best player in suburban
Virginia. Whether or not that
is true, there is one thing about
