THE YANKEES, spanked by
the frequent hitting of Cen
terfelder Joe Di Maggie, were
leading the American League.
Washington was in fifth place.
Cincinnati was leading the
National League. Ann Sheri-
dan was starring in the film
at the Capitol.
The headlines were giving
hope and then snatching it
away. On Saturday the 26th
it was: World War Averted,
Berlin Reports; on Sunday,
France Cold to Hitler's
Peace Offer" On Tuesday
it was Britain Stands Firm in
Reply to Hitler"
Twenty-Five years before, in
August, Lord Grey of Fallodor
the British Foreign Minister,
had seen the same thing hap
pen, and said, The lamps are
going out all over Europe; we
shall not see them lit again in
our lifetime" At that time
Americans found it hard to
accept what was happening.
This time they knew from
experience that it was all too
true: War was coming.
On Wednesday the headline
was: Peace or War Up to
Hitler-Chamberlain."
The bad news came on Fri
day. The headline read:
German Planes Bomb Heart
of Warsaw"
And on Sunday, September
3, the Labor Day week end was
made memorable by the head
line: Britain Goes to War
as Ultimatum Expires"

70 Boards Get
New Powers in
Administration
District Heads OK
New Plan for
Occupations Unit
BY JOHN w. STEPP
Star Stan Writer

The District Commissioners
issued orders today granting
the 20 boards and commissions
of the Occupations and Profess
sions Department greater say
In their budgetary and person.
mel matters.
The action stemmed largely
from agitation by the Real
Estate Commission, one of the
Department agencies, with the
support of the Washington
Real Estate Board, a private
organization.
The real estate groups ini-
TALLY had urged that the COM
missions activities be divorced
altogether from the Govern
ment department. But in a
closed hearing with the city
heads today, Frank j. Luchs,
second vice president of the
Real Estate Board, said that
although his group still feels
the commission should be
autonomous. it is willing to
accept the new order as a COM
promise.
Key Provisions
The key provisions of the
order require that officials of
the department, headed by
Robert F. Gogswell, meet at
least semiannually with the
various department agencies to
discuss common problems, OBJ
jectives and programs" and
their effectiveness; to discuss
lin detail" their budgetary and
staff needs as well as the dis
tribution of costs and the al
lotting of funds relating to the
operation of the department
Regarded as particularly i'm
portant to the 20 agencies is a
new section requiring Director
Cogswell to arrange for con-
ferenceS by his and the agen-
cies' officers with the District
Budget Office and the Board
of Commissioners whenever
major disagreements in financ-
ing or staff matters arise
In general, department Off
Gals were required to col
laborate" moreclosely with all
the member agencies in their
operations problems.
Effect of Order
An observer close to the de-
partment's administrative prob
lens for years noted that the
main effect of the order is to
get the department officials to
work together more closely with
the a gencie especially the
Real Estate Commission.
For one thing, it was re-
ported. the commission has met
only infrequently with depart
ment officials over the wears
Mr.. Cogswell explained that the
main reason for this has been
that the real estate body has
chosen to hold its meeting in
downtown aforementioned Of
fees rather than meet in the
ancient non-air-conditioned
headquarters building of the de-
partment in the Force School,
1740 Massachusetts, avenue NV

Conference, will come up with
recommendations. The group
includes officials of Fairfax,
Arlington, Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties as we'll
as Alexandria and the District.
Share Quesada's View
THE burden is on the Fed
eral Government to provide a
facility at Chantilly that meets
with this regional policy" Gen.
yelling said.
He added, I'VE share the
view expressed by Gen. FL
wood Quesada, head of the Fed
deral Aviation Agency, that
funds should be provided to
build the sewer connection"
The District Commissioners
discussed the situation at a
closed meeting yesterday. David
V. Aud, director of the SAM
tary Engineering Department,
pointed out that a presidential
veto of the appropriations bill
would emphasize the need of
a unified sewage disposal Sys-
tenn for the region and would
show executive support for such
plan. Following the Commits
sioners' meeting Gen. yelling
said he will urge the District
heads to inform the Budget
Bureau that the Chantilly plant
is unsatisfactory"
Bids for Line
Mr.. Aud also announced
that the District will advertise
soon on bids on construction
of ST million sewer line cross
ing the Anacostia River.
The line will help speed the
flow of sewage from the Po-
tomac Interceptor Sewer to the
Blue Plains treatment station.
1t will parallel a similar line at
the sewage pumping station
near the South Capitol Street
Bridge.

Abatement Committee, called
for the group to act on the
matter.
The problem arises from a
House appropriation bill for
construction of the new Dulles
international Airport. The bill
provides for a $750,000 sew
age treatment plant at the
airport. The eff1uent from the
plant would be dumped into
the Potomac at a point above
the Districts water intakes.
District officials say this up
river dumping could affect the
taste of Washington's drinking
water. They say it will also set
a precedent, on the part of the
Federal Government, encourag-
ing private developers along
the upper stretch of the river
to provide small sewage treat
ment plants for new commune
ties. Until now county officials
of the upstream area have
adhered to a policy of protect
ing the stream against such
efhuent.
Funds DeIeted
In passing the bill, the House
cut $2.6 million from the
amount Federal Aviatio n
Agency officials had sought a
sewer trunk line to serve the
airport. The sewer line would
carry Chantilly's sewage across
the Potomac. join the Districts
sewer system and bring the
sewage to the Blue Plains facil-
ity down river. The amount was
cut in an economy move.
Gen. yelling says he is
firm" in his view that the
policy adopted by area officials
be maintained to insure against
discharge of eff1uent above
Great Falls.
Exactly what we should do
isn't clear" he said. He expects

The
Rambler
Looks Beck
Twenty Years
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

A quiz question in a Sunday
newspaper threw the Rambler.
1t was, What important
treaty was signed 20 years ago
today?"
He flunked it.
He had no excuse, eSpe-
cially with the covers Of news
magazines on the stands re-
minding everyone that World
War II started 20 years ago.
1t was the Ribbentrop-Mol-
otov nonaggresSion treaty
the big surprise Of the prel-
ude to war. In 1t the USSR
and Germany agreed not to
make war on each other,
which made it safe" for Hit
Ter to invade Poland.
Flunking the question
caused the Rambler to re-
fresh his memory by putting
the spool of microfilm con-
tanning the August and Sep
TENDER, 1899, issues of The
Star on the Recordak. AS he
turned the crank, the front
pages of one momentous day
after another came on the
screen.
