Marina Brings
$4,000 at Sale
BY JOHN McKELwAY

The babble Of an auctioneer
bouncing over the peaceful Pent-
agon lagoon yesterday sounded
an end to one mans business.
s. King Fulton, who started
the Columbia Island Marina
eight years ago. placed his boat

He had about $4,000 in hand
by the end of the day. He esti-
mated he was losing $4,000 in
the whole venture. The sale
wrote an end to a bitter hassle
between General Services In

Mr.. Fulton last year refused to
run the marina-which he leased
from GSI-when the nonprofit
agency which acts as agent for
National Capital Parks raised
the rent. GSI refused to renew
the contract with Mr.. Fulton
Eventually the marina was
leased out to the Washington
Marina Co., the present opera
tor.
100 Attend Auction
The auction took place a few
yards up the lagoon from the
present marina. About 100 per-

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Deserted and UnhoDDy
BilIyNeeds a Big Break

At the age of 9, Billy is making
a comeback.
He's returning from the care
of a mother whose terror of life
upset him, too. He's coming back
from years of maladjustment in
school. There doesn't seem to be
Jas much to fight anymore. The
world is a safer place.
Camp was out of the question
for Billy before. Now, it's a case
Of wait and see. Those who know
him think that, If Billy gets a
chance to 60 to camp this year,
he may forget his fears and have
fun instead.
Billy's mother eventually de-
serted him. His father has been
in and out Of Jail constantly for
nonsupport. He's in jail now.
In New Foster Home
This has been the first year of
Billy's life that he has been able
to stay in school all year. AS a
rule, he didn't last the morning
out. Before lunch time, his pol

worked, and he was asked to go
home. He has no brothers or
sisters. Competition from other
children seemed especially hard
for him.
During the first year in school,
he was present only a few
months. After a try at a private
school, Billy stayed at home with
his foster parents, and was
helped at a mental hygiene clinic,
Now he's in a new foster home,
where he has found real care at

Army Engineer Calls
For RuinfulI Storage
To Prevent Shortage

The Metropolitan Area may
be forced to ration water in
Is to 20 years unless conservation
steps. including the collection
and storage Of rainfall, are
taken. Col. Ray G. Adams, of
the Army Corps of Engineers,
said last night
Col. Adams, District Engineer
for construction in the Potomac
River watershed, said an anti
cipated area population Of about
two million persons by 1870 will
require $50 million gallons Of
water a day. About 400 million
gallons will be needed by an
anticipated two and a half mil
lion residents by 1880.
He called for rainfall storage
at a meeting of the Citizens
Council for a Clean Potomac at
American University.
1.-THE demands for water in

siderable shortages and ration

TO make provisions for the col
lection and storage of rainfall

Iditions.' y
Potomac Pollution
He also spoke on pollution.
The officer said the quality of
Potomac River water is high be-
fore it reaches the tidewater
area. There it becomes highly
POLLUTED.
Col. Adams said he fears ex-
Ipansion of residential areas
along both sides of the river

ger the high quality of raw wa

Poor planning where treat

easily cause contamination Of

Continuous Studies Urged
Col. Adams said the prospect
is good that money win be forth
coming from Congress to pay for
continuous studies to keep Off

tan areas water needs as the
area grows.
He said he approves the idea

Representative Broyhill, Repub-
llican Of Virginia, which would
set up an agency covering all
political entities concerned with
the Potomac Basin to work for

Washington, D. c., Aug, T.
President Eisenhower told his

is "a disservice to the United

"The current primaries in the
South are bringing a rather alarm

that candidates who cater to this
kind of talk do disservice to their
country" asked Mrs, Elizabeth S.
Carpenter, correspondent for the

81 believe that anyone that stirs
up racial hatreds, other antago-
nisms that are based upon race or
religion or differences in basic phi
losophy, it is always a mistake, it
is very grave effor and dis

Eisenhower replied, adding:

kind can do no one any good.
