After writing 1000 songs,
Andrew Kisacky has decided to
study music.
Mr.. Kisacky, As, got into the
song writing habit when he
was in the Air Force during
World War II. He composed a
marching song which his unit
adopted, rewarding him with a
stripe in the process.
Because he can't read music,
Mr.. Kisacky, who is a proof
reader with the Government
Printing Office, has developed
a code for recording his tunes.
Notes Numbered
Notes to the right of middle
C on the piano are given a
number value after the letter
'R." Notes to the left follow
the letter a." But even this
simple system gets fairly in
volved when it comes to teach
ing the songs to others, so Mr..
Kisacky has arranged to take
lessons from his sons piano
teacher.

REFUTES THEORY
HYDRO STATION
KILLED FISHES
Company Official Says No I'm
proper Operation of Roa-
noke River Power
Station

RICHMOND, July 22-Any in
ference that the July 8 fish Kill
below the Virginia Electric ant
Power Company hydro electri,
project at Roanoke Rapids, NortI
Carolina, was caused by impropel
operation of the hydro station 81.
contrary to the fact" according
to Miles Cary, Vice President, re.
ferirng to statements recently re-
ported in the press.
"The average oxygen content Of
the water discharged as minimum
flows from the project during the
period in question, based on az
analyses, was sc parts per mil.
lion of dissolved oxygen or ap-
proximately 80 per cent of satura-
ton.
SLOWS at all times met the
project license requirements, as
modified at the request of the
state agencies for the very pur-
poses of preventing fish kills if
the river is not improperly pol
luted by downstream sources
These required flows are identical
with similar revised flow SEIZED
ules requested by the North Car
DINA State Stream Sanitation
Committee for the critical sum-
mer periods of 1856, 1857 AND
1858. Experience in these past
three years has proven conclusive.
ly that satisfactory downstream
river conditions have been main
tanned with these flows if Excess
sive pollution loads are moi
dumped into the river" Cary said
"We are informed that there
was an accidental discharge to the
river of highly concentrated
oxygen-consuming industrial pol
luton downstream of the Roanoke
Rapids project. We not not know
the extent of this discharge, mol
it's effect on oxygen in the river
but we believe that some such
pollution loading, either from
natural sources, was responsible
for the fish kill. We see no Other
reasonable conclusion since the
band of water causing the fish
kill still had a substantial amount
of oxygen-consuming pollution
about Is miles below Williamson
even after reaeration by the river
to that point. Hydro plants can
not take care of such pollution
problem" the Vice President said
