Water Plight
Restudy Urged
Citizens Group Asks
$l05, 900 for Survey

Spokesman for citizens groups
and an interstate commission
appealed to q Senate Appropria-
tons Subcommittee today to
grant a fund Of $l05.000 for a
restudy of Washington's water
supply and pollution of the Po-
tomac waters.
They were given a brief but
sympathetic hearing by a SUBJ
committee headed by Senator
Ellender. Democrat of Louisiana
The same group appeared last
Friday before a House subcom-
mittee.
The fund is needed. the wit
nesses said, to bring up to date
q 1916 survey and to anticipate
future requirements. The re-
survey is designed as a step
toward the development Of O
master plan for uses Of the Po-
tomac River waters.
Reservoir Proposed
One witness, Isadore G. Ak,
speaking for the Citizens Coun-
Gil for a, Clean Potomac, told
the Senate subcommittee his
organization planned to ask the
public works committees Of the
House and Senate to hold hear
ings on the entire problem OF
the development and use of the
water supply in the Potomac
River basin.
Involved in the situation are
plans Of the United States Army
Corps of Engineers for the de-
velopment Of a reservoir dam in
the vicinity of River Bend, up
stream of Great Falls.
Ellis S. Tisdale. director OF the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin, recalled
that in the past two years his
commission had testified before
Senator's regarding the potential
threat to Washington's water
supply from proposed upstream
developments Of industries ano
real estate subdivisions.
Water-Sbortage Peril Cited
Mr.. Ak. on this point, said
immediate work on the Great
Bend dam was imperative, since
metropolitan Washington was
expected to face a shortage OF
water for domestic uses within
five years unless an additional
supply was obtained.
Another witness today was
Mrs. Haskell Rosenblum. speak.
ling for the District chapter OF
the League Of Women Voters.

WHEN THE resolution for
the impeachment of Andrew
Johnson was brought before
the House, Mark Twain wrote
In the Chicago Republican
February "a, 1889:
1.-THE past few days have
been filled with startling in
terest. On Friday the Nation
was electrified by the Presi-
dents last and boldest effort to
dislodge Mr.. Stanton. The wild
excitement that pervaded the
Capital that night has not had
its parallel here since the MUIR
der Of Mr.. Lincoln.
THE air was thick with
rumors of dreadful import.
Every tranquil brain, thrown
from its balance by the colos-
sal surprise, magnified the Gre
atoms of its crazed fancy into
the phantoms of anarchy, re-
bellion, bloody revolution!
"Assassinations were proph-
esied; murders, robberies, and
CONGREGATIONS; cannon were
to thunder, drums to beat, and
the pavements to echo to the
tread of armed men!
The Senate sat at night
and the unusual spectacle Of
the illuminated Capitol at
tracted every eye, and i'm
pressed every mind with some
thing like an assurance that
Its boding and prophecies were
well founded. And out of the
midst of the political gloom
impeachment, that deac
corpse, rose up and walked
forth again!"

Senators were difficult to in

The

Writes in Praise
Ofu Gifted Newsmun
By GEORGE KENNEDY

At the Press Club the other
day the conversation got
around to, who were the
great Washington correspond
ents?"
Louis Seibold and Sam Blythe
Of the New York World were
mentioned. So were Mark
Sullivan Of the New York Trib-
une, John Callan OLaughlin
OF the Chicago Tribune and
Richard v. Oulahan of the New
York Times.
Not mentioned was a young
correspondent who came to
the Capital shortly after the
Civil War, one, Samuel Glenn
ems. He sent dispatches to the
New York Tribune and the
San Francisco daily Alta Cali
fornia and other papers under
his already famous by-line,
Mark Twain. He would have
become one Of the great but he
left to write the Gilded Age
and succeeding books after
only three and one half months
as a correspondent.
About 20 years ago David
Mearns of the Library of Con-
greSs, who subsequently made
his mark as a Lincoln scholar,
started combing the library's
newspaper files for the Mark
Twain dispatches. He came
upon 20 of them. Later re-
search elsewhere increased this
number. Recently Vincent L.
Eaton Of the library brought
the number up to 40. There
are probably more in the
Library's newspaper files that
have not been located.
