ment made by other building

Contractors Council.
Robert A. Meyer. heading the
Policy Committee for the coun-
Gil, said tie meeting today will
not result in any progress un-
less the laborers modify their
demands"
Leroy Coad, president of Lo-

Gil, said there's always hope
of a settlement as long as we
keep talking"
Both sides had failed in at
tempts to schedule any nego-
tiation sessions since the last
one was held a week ago, when
the laborers announced they
were going to strike. The walk
out began last Tuesday.
The union is asking for .
IS : cents : an hour wage in

Dc, Gets Warning
On River Pollution
Action by U. S.
Is limited by
Flemming
BY JOHN w. STEPP

eral Government may take en-
forcement action against the
District unless local authorities
substantially alleviate Potomac
River pollution was given yes
terday by Health, Education
and Welfare Secretary Flem-
ming.
Mr.. Flemming. in the closing
address of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress conven-
ton. cited his authority to force
municipal polluters Of streams
into Federal court If they fail
to act voluntarily.
The power is granted by the
Federal Waters Pollution Con-
troll Act, and has already been
invoked against Sioux City.
Iowa, the secretary warned. He
noted that in a conference pre-
liminary to possible enforce
ment action. District govern
ment officials have agreed to
end Washington's share Of SER
ious pollution by 1866.
Money Lacking
City officials since have re-
peatedly stated. however they
lack sufficient funds-an esti-
mated SIS million-to do the
job.
Since I have lived here for
many years." Mr.. Flemming
told the congress delegates, II
have been particularly inter-
ested in abating pollution in
the Potomac. ! stand ready to
do anything and everything to
clean UP an indefensible situa-
ton"
He then added he is afraid
corrective measures won't be
taken unless his department,
through the United States Pub
lie Health Service brings pro-
ceedings against the District
to the court stage.
But ! hope that definite
positive steps will be taken
without resort to the enforce
ment provisions of the law" he
said.
Survey Funds Backed
The congress later Endorsed
a recommendation by its water
use committee calling on the
United States Congress to rec
ognize its responsibility by
authorizing and appropriating
Federal funds to abate pollu-
ton in the Nations Capital.
The convention, attended by
more than 700 delegates repre-
senting every State of the
Union, urged Congress to APP
propriate sufficient funds to re-
duce the backlog of water re-
sources surveys of individual
river basins throughout the
country. Pending this year is
a bill for 5000 appropria-
ton to enable the Washington
Engineer District of the Army
Engineer Corps to speed up its
money-starved comprehensive
study of the Potomac water
shed.
Among projects Endorsed by
the rivers harbors congress
were channel improvements
for Baltimore Harbor. Former
Gov. McKeldin of Maryland, in
an address earlier, called for
this as well as similar improve
mentS to harbors all over the
Nation, many of which cannot
be entered fully-laden by some
Of the new super-size ships.
The congress also favored
improvements to Norfolk Har-
Dor and channel and urged a
survey looking toward better
ment of the southern branch
Of Elizabeth River in Norfolk
Harbor.
DR.. A. l.. Miller, chief of the
Interior Departments saline
water division predicted that
many sections of the United
States will some day find it
cheaper to convert sea water to
drinking water than to develop
new fresh water supplies. Con-
tinued experimentation is low

version, DR.. Miller said.

More Money
Seen in Sight
For District
About ST. Million
Added to Revenue
Expected in Year

District ofiicials have added
about SAT million to their es-
timated revenue figures for the
forthcoming fiscal year.
As a result Of this revision,
earlier deficit estimates for
the l959-6O budget have been
lowered.
Ofhcials reported q major
portion Of the added revenue
SIT million. comes from 81
fund transfer to She District
from the Redevelopment Land
Agency. The balance also re-
fleets a higher collection rate
than had been anticipated.
along with q general increase
in business activity.
The House has voted a Dis
trict budget with a $2.l Million
deficit for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /. This figure
would be raised to about $7|
million If spending restoration
requests by city officials are
approved.
Request Made to Senate
The House granted a SIS
million Federal payment and
the Senate has been asked toI
provide a SGT million Federal
payment.
In addition. the city will
carry over a SIS million deficit
from the current fiscal period
as the result Of congressional
action Thursday on the Dis
trict's supplemental appropria-
ton.
Approval Of the $242 million
budget for next fiscal year
would probably mean the city
would carry a deficit Of about
IS million.
Yesterdays revised estimate
Of revenues was the second one
this week. On Thursday,
budget officials revealed an adj
ditional SIS million revenue
estimate. Coupled with yes
terday's announcement, rev.
enue estimates for the present
and next fiscal year have been
revised upward to a total Of $4
million.
Layoffs Still Feared
Meanwhile, the city still
faced layoffs created by cuts
in this years supplemental re-
quests.
Some 600 of 1900 employees
Of National Capital Parks will
take a loss of three days pay
and some furloughing of Health
Department personnel may
take place.
AS a result of the initial
House action on the supple
mental request, Welfare De-
partment relief checks were
cut Is per cent this month and
last. Now, officials say. full
payment can be restored on
next months checks.
