my Office as such in accordance
with the provisions of Title %,
Section 371 (b) of the United
States Code"
Mr.. Eisenhower wrote Justice

Mr.. Reeds letter was dated
today. but the White House said

Justice Reed provides that a
Justice retired from active serv-
ice may continue to do some
court work.
Assistant White House Press
Secretary Murray Snyder told
newsmen there was nothing to

Justice Reed.
His retirement means that four

separating those older parts OF
WaShington's sewer system where
stormwater flows are combined
with domestic wastes and dis
charge direct into streams.
Engineering problems for this
and other shortcomings are rel
Iatively easy to solve, Mr.. Aud
said. The big hitch, he empha-
sized, is financing. Improvements
to the Districts treatment plant
alone are costing nearly $l3 mil
lion. and these assure maximum
benefits only through 1865, he
said.
Scanning the Metropolitan
Area section by section. Mr.. Aud
made these points:
/. With the continuing of
stormwater-domestic sewer sys-
TENS in the Luzon Valley, there
is no known reason why there
should be any domestic sewage
ever to enter Rock Greek within
the District above Piney Branch. y
2. Combined sewers in South
west Washington will be Sepa-
rated at a cost of $4.9 million in
conjunction with the housing re-
development of that area. This
will end periodic raw sewage flows
into the virtually still waters Of
Washington Channel.

The Potomac River in the
Washington area will, in less
than two years. measure UP tc
the cleanliness standards set by
one of its severest critics, the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin.
This confident prediction came
today from David v. Aud, men,
Der of the commission and
director of sanitary engineering
for the District Of Columbia.
Mr.. Auld's was one Of five
progress reports on pollution
abatement in the metropolitan
area presented before the winter
meeting of the commission in
the Washington Hotel. The an
nual two-day session of the FIVE
State compact group will END
tomorrow.
Four Major Steps
Mr.. Aud and his counter
parts of the jurisdictions re-
sponsible for stream sanitation
around the Nations Capital
listed four major steps either
accomplished or in the process
of being achieved. There are:
/. The connection of the
suburban Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties sewer
system to the Districts, for
treatment at Washington's Blue
Plains plant.
2. Completion of Alexandria s
sewage collection and treatment
system.
3. Beginning of construction
Of advanced treatment facilities
at the Blue Plains plant.
4. Agreement between Rock
vile and the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission where
by the sewage of that city will
be handled by the commission
network for disposal at Blue
Plains.
The combined effect Of these
benefits, Mr.. Aud predicted, viii
be to reduce the pollution loac
on the Potomac to the amount
deposited prior to 1920 when thu
area population was one-thirC
the present total.
Washington's chief sanitary
engineer conceded that further
corrective measures are in order

Probe Reveals
Mcclellan Questions
U. S. Failure to
Prosecute Case
By CECIL HOLLAND

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
OF Arkansas. today demanded
an explanation of why the Justice
Department failed to prosecute
some New Jersey manufacturers
of Army uniforms after nearly
$4,000 worth of Government
owned material was seized in
their plant.
He made the demand as the
Senate Investigating Subcom-
mittee, which he heads, con-
tinued hearings on the affairs
of Madison Park Clothes, Inc,
of Paterson, N. j.. and related
firms which obtained more than
SO million in Army contracts be-
tween 1949 and 1854.
/ He asked Subcommittee Coun-
sci Robert Kennedy and his
staff to investigate at once why
there wasn't a prosecution of
this case"
4 hcIuScS 70 answer
At the hearing, Bart Rogers
of PaSsaic, N. j., identified as
an official of the Madison Park
company. refused to answer when
asked if he had stolen" or
Incorporated" the material
supplied by the Government for
Army uniforms. He said an
answer might tend to incrim-
mate him.
Mr.. Rogers also invoked the
Fifth Amendment in refusing to
say whether the Madison Park
company had paid a $4,000
legal fee to have the case, in
Senator McClellan's words. "set-
tied or adjusted"
Senator Mcclellan read into
the hearing record a bill for
$4,000 submitted to the Madi-
son Park Company in 1852 by
James E. Markham, an attorney
here with offices in the Shore
ham Building.
The bill was for legal serv-
ices re complaint by the Quar-
termaster Department of the
Army. involving conferences with
the Judge Advocates Office of
the Army and the Justice De-
partment in New York and
Washington"
\ Markham Present
Mr.. Markham, who was alien
property custodian from 1914 to
1916 and was deputy custodian
for two years prior to that time,
was in the hearing room when
the bill was read into the record.
Bart Rogers father, John
Rogers, and Thomas Di Giaco-
mo. both identified as officials of
the Madison Park and other
firms which obtained the Gov
eminent contracts, had refused
earlier in the week on grounds
Of possible Standardization to
answer committee questions re-
garding the Government con-
tracts and whether they had
paid off any Government per-
sonnet.
Senator Mcclellan said the
transcript involving the uni
form makers would be turned
over to the Justice Department
which I hope will give it i'm
mediate attention with a view
to prosecution"
Transactions Called SOrdid
The Senator said it appeared
that there was forgery, per-
jury. false Qualifications and
possibly embezzlement arising
out of these sordid transactions.
At the same time, Senator
Mcclellan asked the Defense De-
partment to determine whether
bidders on Government con-
tracts must disclose the true
ownership of companies seeking
Government business.
Apparently" the Senator
continued. IF some persons get
in trouble with one company
they form a new company and
bid under a new name"
Senator Mcclellan said there
may be a loophole in the law

Aimed at Red Tyranny
Main points of the Presidents
message today that differed from
his recommendations a year ago
to which Congress turned a
cold shoulder-dealt with the
problem of giving asylum to refu-
gees from Communist tyranny
such as those from Hungary.
So far 24,125 Hungarian ref
ugees have been admitted to the
United States since the Hun
garian freedom revolt last Octo-
Der, most of them temporarily
under parole provisions of the
basic immigration law.
Pointing out that the refugees
admitted on parole cannot stay
here permanently or acquire
American citizenship under pres
ent law, Mr.. Eisenhower said
Il believe they should be given
the opportunity under a law
which deals both with the cur
rent escape problem and with
any other like emergency which
may hereafter face the free
world"
TwO-POint Program
/ In a two-point program to
meet this problem, he urged that
Congress:
l. Give the President power
to authorize the Attorney Cen
Ieral to parole into the United

who have fled or in the future

OF such PAROLES would be linn

aliens admitted annually over

clal legislation outside the i'm
migration quotas.
2. Give discretionary power to
