Department permits. The other
non-permit pools, all operating,
are at the Merlands Club, the
Bethesda Country Club, Argyle
Country Club, Xaverian College,
and Washington Missionary Col
lege.
On August 2 George l.. Hall,
Chief Sanitary Engineer of the
State Health Department, wrote
DR.. William j. Peoples, head of
the County Health Department,
asking if permits were going to
be issued for the six pools.
There are no county pool reg
ulations. A pool is granted a
one-year State Health Depart
ment permit after an inspection
by county sanitation officials in
dicates state requirements have
been meet. A bi-weekly check
is made to determine water
quality.
Mr.. Koch says he has never
closed a pool for failing to re-
ceive permit. He says, II will
close a pool when it is dangerous
to life and limb
There are 35 pools in Mont
gomery County which must be
inspected. Mr.. Koch says he is
the only county official qualified
to check pool operation.
"Safe, Not Good"
The Twinbrook pool, says Mr..
Koch, is safe but not good"
After an inspection Monday, the
sanitation department official
requested a timetable for COM
pleting about 1000 square feet
of the cement apron around the
pool and increasing the water
supply.
Mr.. Koch says he was dds
gusted" after inspecting the pool
in July. He says he implied"
then that the pool had to be COM
pleted pretty damn fast" He
says he left a message requesting
a phone call from a pool official
but received no call.
Pool Manager Fred Procopio
told Mr.. Koch Monday, They
didn't call you because they
wanted to see what you'd do"
Mr.. Procopio has admitted to
Mr.. Koch, Were not going to
have the apron finished this
summer"
State regulations require a
four-foot wide apron around the
pool, and an adequate" water
supply.
Most of the apron at Twin
brook has been completed.
The water supply well -
has been insufficient to fill the
pool quickly. In order to obtain
the 5000 gallons needed in 10
minute period when the filters
are cleaned, pool officials must
string a fire hose to a nearby
hydrant. The filters are cleaned
once a week. Mr. Koch says
they should be cleaned twice a
week.
In addition, no sod has beer
planted, the fence is unfinished
and the bath house is not com
plete. There is no hot water.
Claim No Money
Pool officials say there is nc
money in the treasury to pay fol
the improvements necessary tt
obtain a permit.
Pool president Lester Cole
says, 1T might make our mem
bers more aware of our prob
lens if the Health Department
closed us up" He says he doubt:
many members know the poo

Court UphoIds
Laundries Tax
BY Star stan Correspondent


RICHMOND, Mar. g. The
State Supreme Court has upheld
Arlington's right to collect a
business license tax on laundries
and dry cleaning establishments
with plants in Washington and
distribution centers in the
county.
The court affirmed the decision
of Arlington Circuit Court in the
Manhattan Laundry case.
Manhattan Laundry hao
claimed that it operated in in
terstate commerce, and therefore
was not subject to the county
tax.
According to Arlington Com
monwealth's Attorney William J
Hassan, who argued the county's
case, Manhattan operates a dis
tribution plant on Columbia pike
"A fleet of trucks operate out Of
that plant. although clothing is
taken to Manhattan'S facilities
in Washington for actual clean
ing and laundering.
Earlier, Arlington County ha6
been barred from imposing q
tax on cleaners or launderers
operating directly out Of Wash
ington. In another case, how
ever. the courts held Arlington
could tax Washington launder-
ers and cleaners with pickup sta
tions in the county.
Mr.. Hassan said the latest de.
cision clears up the county's tax.

of laundry and dry cleaning es-

RICHMOND. Mar. 8 tR.-The
House rammed through another
segregation resolution today
one to declare a State policy
against any athletic migration
at the high school level.
Only two persons spoke on the
resolution, its sponsor Delegate
Sam Pope of Southampton, and
Ian opponent. Delegate John
Webb of Fairfax. The voice vote
produced a loud chorus of yeas
and a smattering of nos.
In arguing for his resolution,
Mr.. Pope said the issue was a
simple one.
Either For or Against
"You are either in favor of
mixed athletic events in the
public free schools Of Virginia,
or you are opposed to such
events" he said.
81 have had some of the mem
beers of this body say to me that
this problem should be handled
from the administrative angle in
the public schools Of Virginia.

Sees Dangerous Situation
"You not only have the ath-

lowing of an integrated public

situation more dangerous than
this"
Mr.. Pope told the House that
at least two Negro high schools
have made overtures at partici-
Ipating in sport events sponsored
by the Virginia High School
League for white schools.
Mr.. Webb, in speaking against
the resolution, quoted from q

|torial which argued that none

of segregation applied in the
case of athletics. Mr.. Webb said
ability and not color should
count on the athletic field.

Major Sewers
For Inspection

The District will close three
major sewers for inspection dur
ing the coming week.
During inspection. an esti-
mated total of nearly 300 million
gallons Of raw sewage win be
diverted into the Anacostia

and was last inspected in 1854.
Under inspection will be a
13. 000-foot section from the
vicinity Of the National Guard
Armory to the main pumping
station near New Jersey avenue
Sc. The sewage will be diverted
into the river at a rate of go
million gallons daily through an
outlet behind District General
Hospital. The inspection is ex-
pected to last two days, begin
ming tomorrow.
The other examinations will
be made In the two 10-foot-
diameter outfall sewers between
the main pumping station and
the Naval Research Laboratory
near the sewage treatment plant
These two lines total $4,000
feet. Neither has been inspected
since 1912. The check to be made

Brian M. Benson, director OF
finance for the Montgomery
County Board Of Education,
denied last night that the board
used Federal funds to account
for 100000 in overspending in
the 1954-5 school year.
/ Under questioning at a joint
meeting Of the board and the
County Council, Mr.. Benson in
sisted the money to pay the
deficit came from miscellaneous
revenues and excess State funds"
His statement came during a
discussion of the McKinsey
management survey report, which
sharply criticized the boards
spending and fiscal practices.
Frank Douglas of the Nc
Kinsey Co. said the boards.
budgeting system permits a.
freedom and flexibility" which
the, County Council did not in
tend to grant when 1t appro-
priated funds for school spend
ing.
Difference in Receipts
He said the 100000 overrun
on the 1954-5 budget was wiped
out by money obtained from
"the difference between antici-
pated and actual receipts" of
State and Federal grants.
Identity of such money, once
blended with other school funds,
is hard to establish. he indicated.
Councilwoman Stella Werner
commented. tits a revelation to
me that there are two budgets. +"
The McKinsey report recon-
that the council appro-
pirate lump sums for school
operations, taking away the
boards ability to use Federal or
State grants for other than the
current purpose intended.
Danger Of Confusion
Mr.. Benson complained that
the charge of using Federal
funds could "cause confusion in
the minds Of Congressman who
make the laws" on Federal
grants. TITS hurting us" he
added.
He said the board has insti-
tuted new budget procedures
which should provide controls
over spending and warn of i'm
pending "overruns" Of alloca-l
tionS.
