that groupings Of candidates
with similar ideas may be iden-
titled before the campaign
moves much further along.
The most spiriting cam
paigning promises to take place
in the 4th and 5th districts
and involve two incumbent
women board members.

In the 4th, Mrs. Helen M.
Scharf is opposed by Wylie w
Barrow, a veteran of 10 years
on the board, in what both well
come as q showdown test Of
their contrasting opinions on
the operation and aims Of the

four-way contest shapes up, but
the key figures will be Mrs.
Rose c. Kramer, victor in a

Smith, q retiring member Of
the board who ran on a slate

Mr.. Fauver, who has served
as Education Committee chair
man for the Allied Civic Group

him and his opponent are ex.

age and industrial waste
problems.
Solutions Fall Behind
Assistant Surgeon Gen. Mark
D. Hollis decried "out-dated
methodology" in the current
approach of stream sanitation
officials Of all levels to the
problem.
THE total water pollution
problem facing us today" he
said, sis much more formidable
and certainly more complex
than the situation prior to
World War II. The outstanding
work accomplished in pollution
abatement simply has been out
distanced by the speed of
progress and the development
of new problems"
The complexities, DR.. Hollis
pointed out, stem from such
new wastes as synthetic organic
chemicals and radioactive ma
terials.
Perhaps the greatest single
problem today is to close the
gap in scientific knowledge with
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-20

respect to the behavior of these
new contaminants in streams"
he said.
Ratio Out Of Balance
DR.. Hollis pointed, out that
less than SIS million per year
goes into basic research of
pollution problems. At the same
time, he said, about 81 billion
is being spent for industrial
research that will lead to larger
production water-consuming in
dustry that will in turn lead
to more need for research into
stream pollution problems.
This 81 billion research ex-
penditure by industry would
have to be matched by at least
an $18 million yearly sum in
order to keep pollution abate-
ment research in proper bal
ance. DR.. Hollis said.
There is no question about
the great sense of urgency for
stepping UP our researc h
effort" he said.
Mayor R. P. Weatherford of
Independence, Mo-. emphasized
the same need for basic data
research. Mayor Weatherford
also was critical of both
municipal and industrial wastes
dumped into the Nation S
streams.
"A large part of industrial
pollution exists to a degree I'M
recognized simply because it
hides behind the torrent of I'M
treated domestic sewage" he
said.

Judge Andrew J. Howard
yesterday used q rarely used

the woman to appear in the
Virginia court or be held in
contempt and be subject to a
30-day jail sentence.
Abortion charges against
Mrs. Helen E. Grimes, Sc, Of

the witness would not appear

However, the witness prom

AS TO THIS BUSH KASHI

AS TO THIS BUSH KASHI
game that Paul was so en-
thusiastic about, it is played
with Is to so horSemen on a
side on a field about a mile
long and almost as wide.
Spectators have to go up
and down the SidelineS on
horseback or in jeeps to
follow what is going on.
The cavalry teams line up
on each side then ride to-
ward the center of the field
where in a saucer-like de-
clivity there is the beheaded
carcass of a calf or a sheep.
The horSemen, who have
blanket type saddles and
Stirrups, attempt to pick up
the carcass, which weighs so
or so pounds, and carry it
across the goal line.
When a rider is lucky
enough to pick it up, a IA
vorite tactic is to hold it
under one leg in a mad dash
for the goal. In this he is
impeded by blocking horse
men.
To get the real combat
effect the game should be
played with blunted cavalry
sabres, but the Afghans have
compromised on two foot
sticks with which to whack
the opposition. The rider
carrying the disputed meat
has his hands full and
doesn't have much chance
to whack of his attackers.
The game will go on for
an hour or so with relays of
horses and several goals will
be scored. The horses, bred
for the game, are a little
heavier than Arabians.
When Paul saw the game
played in the capital, Kabul,
it was in an area about the
size Of a polo field between
grandstands. There were
Sidelines and any rider who
carried the prize out Of
bounds was penalized.
No one disputed the rul-
ings Of the umpire. He was
