but the President felt that Mr..
Dulles, by making a personal
review Of all the problems now

In answer to a question at q

Stassen is the Presidents spe-

Personal Attention Needed

ton in London are of such
Importance as to require the
Secretary's personal review and
judgment" Mr.. Hagerty said.
State Department officials
say the sudden trip does not
imply "either a breakdown or
a breakthrough" in the dis
armament negotiations.
The Secretary is going ito
consult and review" with the
American delegation and pre-
sumably with British, French
and Canadian delegates.
Department officials refused
to be pinned down on the rea-
son for the urgency of Mr..

tary feel" department officials
explained, "that the time is
opportune to make a review of
the progress achieved to date
and the problems remaining.
Officials conceded that Mr..
Dulles might possibly" meet

Water Line
Costs Laid to
School Board

Failure Of the Montgomery
County Board OF Education to
give the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission early
notice Of a school project has
resulted in a $1,000 water and
sewer line bill, according to the
utility.
The commission said yester-
day the high cost could have
been reduced If utility engi-
neers were consulted in con-
struction plans for the Sligo
Junior High School, on Dennis
avenue west of Sligo Greek
parkway near Wheaton. The
school is expected to open in
September, 1858.
The larger bill will be a
greater burden to commission
customers since the sewer lines
will pass under park land on
which no homes can be built
and residents assessed accord
ingly for the lines.
If notified earlier, utility
officials say they would have
requested water and sewer
outlets be relocated in the
building closer to existing
WSSC lines. They say the con-
nection cost then would have
been considerably less.
AS the building plans stand
now. water lines will have to
be extended $40 feet. and sewer
lines $50 feet.
Noting that similar delays
have increased the connection
costs at some other schools
the commission said school
boards in both Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties should

ing prepared by Abel Wolman

consultantS.
Due in September
These findings are due next
month.
The Wolman report, ordered
by the interstate commission,
is expected to include recon-
mendations for construction oil
sewers and treatment work:
and the means Of financing
the project. The conferees
agreed that consideration Of
these findings is essential fol-
reaching any final conclusions
Of their own.
The recent recommendation
of Washington's special board
of engineering consultants
which urged immediate inaug-
uration of a $133 million sew
rage construction program, also
will be closely studied.
Although the principal pur-
pose Of the conference was to
devote attention to river pCllu-
ton problems. representatives
of every agency present shared
worried thoughts over the fu-
ture water supply for Metro

mention that neither Of the
kilograms was even acknowl-
edged.
Also introduced into the rec
ord was the Water Boards own
notation that its working staff,
led by Executive Secretary A.
H. Paessler. had recommended
participation.
Another point raised was the
fact that the same Federal
agency - PHS - which invited
Virginia to share in the Poto-
mac discussion, only recently
approved nearly $4,000 in Fed
eral grants to help the State
build sewage disposal works.
The sum is greater than those
approved to date for Maryland,
the District and the Interstate
Commission.
A health service official en-
phaSized, at another point. that
the intent of the Federal law is
to preserve States rights-a
chronic sore point with the Old
Dominion-in moving to abate
pollution in interstate streams.
The proceedings initiated
yesterday are authorized by a
provision of the amended Fed
eral Water Pollution Control
Act of 1856. The act empowers
PHS to take steps to enforce
pollution attainment measures in
interstate streams where the
offensive condition is deter
mined "a danger to health and
welfare" The Potomac's con-
dition was so determined at the
start Of yesterdays meeting.
Greatest Source
The agreements reached CEN
tered mostly around the fact
that Washington and suburban
Maryland, whose sewage dis
posal systems are now one. are
the Metropolitan Areas great
est polluters.
At the same time, recognition
was given to efforts which both
Jurisdictions have made, and
are making, to improve the sit
uation to an extent that dis
poSal facilities may be adequate
until 1880.
As for the immediate future,
the agreements state that Dis
trict officials are to report as
soon as possible to the con-
ferees on a specific timetable
by which plans and specifca-
tons for new pollution control
construction are to be ready to
let on contract.
Another important factor in
scheduling further discussions
is the publication of the pollu-
ton abatement report on Met

Scientists Look To 1918 Flu Victims For Help To Cambat The Asian Flu

NEW ORLEANS, R " Som e scientists are looking to the AL askan tundra for possible help in the fight against the Asian flu.
 A panel discussion at the joint meeting of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the College of American Pathologists brought out that if bodies of vic tins of the 1918 flu epidemic in the Alaska tundra have remained frozen the entire time they might offer comparisons between the two epidemics.
 pr. Alan R. Moritz of the Vest ern Reserve Medical School, one of the panelists, said it is possible the 1918 flu virus began in a mild form the same as the Asian flu and that it gained strength through mutations as the disease spread.
 Moritz and pr. Lyle A. Weed, associate professor of bacteri- ology at the University of Minne- sota, said little was known of virus during the 1918 epidemic and little study had been made of the killer virus.
 The panel members urged path ologistS to preserve tissue and other matter for future study.

SEATTLE, R-Alaska Airlines requested the Civil Aeronautics Board Monday to approve an ap- plioation to provide scheduled helicopter passenger, mail and freight service in the Puget Sound and Willamette Valley areas of the Pacific Northwest.
 President Charles F. Willis IT,, said the proposed helicopter net works would be centered in Seat tie and Portland.
 Commuter service for business men and shoppers is planned.
 Willis said the company is con- sidering using the Sikorsky 856 helicopter which he said could carry 35 passengers, baggage, mail, air express, merchandise deliveries and heavier freight.
 ''In effect, this will mean that air mail will reach greater Seat tie Puget Sound and Portland Willamette Valley points one or two days sooner than at present and regularly scheduled air com muter service will be provided" Willis said.
