Mr.. Broyhill, who represents

said. Sully, once the rustic

School Plan
Impractical

The three school plan" to
circumvent the Supreme Court
decision ordering desegregation
contains so many drawbacks
that it has been judged imprac-
tical, according to Arlington
Delegate C. Harrison Mann, jr.
In response to an inquiry. the
Legislator advised a constituent
that Virginia's Perrow Commits
sion considered the plan, but
rejected it because Of its doubt
full legality and because it pre-
sents other major obstacles.
Under the plan, a locality
would maintain one integrated
school, one exclusively for white
children and a third solely for
Negroes.
Mr.. Mann said that one Fed
eral court already has ruled
such a system illegal and that
the Supreme Court itself has
cast doubt on its legality.
PerrOw Views
He reported that many men,
bers of the Perrow Commission
also opposed the plan because
it would involve State and To-
cal support of integrated
schools.
There are very practical diff
f1culties in the way Of estab-
fishing a three school system in
most localities of Virginia, par
ticularly in those areas where
they do not even now have a
complete two school system,
he said.
I'm other words, its cost would
be immense, particularly in
those areas which could afford
it the least"
Mr.. Mann also reported that
attorneys thought that any
school board in Virginia which
wished to attempt the three
school system" could do so with
out further legislation.
But he added that he knows
Of no school board which is
considering the plan.
The Perrow Commission re-
commended a local option plan
under which each jurisdiction
can decide if it wishes to main
tain public schools and a local

lister pupil placement if il
choose. The proposals were en-

of these same officials in mark
ing the event. =.
The new facilities will near
ly treble the amount of organic
pollutantS now removed be,
fore the sewage emptieS into
the Potomac. The new degree
of removal amounts to about
10 per cent of the organic
wastes which otherwise would
flow into the river as raw sew
age to defile the shorelines Of
the Nations Capital in all its
tidal reaches. y
Covers Is Acres
The elaborate system of new
settlement and treatment tanks
is spread over IS acres. Along
with the older portion of the
plant, it will serve population
of nearly 2 million, generating
a maximum of about 300 mil
lion gallons of sewage daily.
This capacity is expected to be
reached around 1880.
The design anticipates stead
lily increasing flows from the
District proper and the subur-
ban Maryland sections under
jurisdiction of Washington Su-
burban Sanitary Commission.
These populouS areas already
discharge an average daily
flow of 1856 million gallons with
a recent maximum day Of 261
gallons. IN
In addition, a large segment
of suburban Virginia-the Pim-
nit Run Valley and possibly
the Chantilly portions of Fair
fax County-will soon pipe its
sewage into the Districts sys-
TEN for treatment at Blue
Plains.
That the new facilities were
long overdue is indicated, by
the fact that even the average
flow of wastes exceeded the
capacity of the plant by II
million gallons daily.
Reduced 20 Percent
Prior to the new installation,
Washington and suburban
Maryland combined were
dumping 80 per cent of all the
sewage pollution that was get
ting into the Potomac in the
Metropolitan Area. With the
expansion and refinementS =
including aeration of the
wastes-the pollution discharge
is reduced by nearly 20 per
cent.
With other Improvements in
recent years-Such as construc-
ton of major new treatment
plants in Alexandria and Fair.
fax County and the Anacostia
River Valley hookup between
the Maryland Washington sys-
tems-the total pollution load
has now been reduced to the
point where the natural action
of the river can aSsimilate all
the wastes, for the time being
at least.
The addition of the So-called
secondary treatment facilities
being dedicated today doubles
the total amount that has been
spent on construction at the
Blue Plains plant-including
the cost of building the original
plant in 1888.

The great mound Of money
Chantilly airport will cost is
q molehill compared to the
mountainous task of building
it.
AS planned, the 500 million
project is without peer in sheer
size, complexity and forward
thinking. Also. it is proceeding
on schedule without a model
anywhere in the world from
which to draw answers to its
problems.
To simplify, building an
airport is much more than
knocking down trees. ieveling
a few hills and pouring con-
crete.
Concrete Being Poured
Test borings through soil,
sub-soil and rock strata have
been made: trees that were
distractions have been knocked
down and the hills leveled to
I'LL the valleys. Concrete is
pouring on the first Of the two,

ways.

set for early 1861.
Aside from its other distinc-
ton, Chantilly Otis unofficial
name persiStS) will have the
worlds first airport ventilated
storm sewer-and therein lies
one of the complex problems.
Fuel used by jet aircraft is
either kerosene or a refinement
called JP-4. Because they do
not evaporate as quickly as
aviation gasoline after spillage,
both are more hazardous to
handle.
Explosive Mixture
The Federal Aviation Agency
already has estimated that as
little as "A gallons of jet fuel
washed into the storm sewer
could produce an explosive mix
ture.
To eliminate this hazard,
ventilating fans will be placed
in the 5,000-foot, 48-inch sewer
