Blue Plains plant as q much
needed contribution to the
quality of the Potomac River
and the beauty and dignity Of
the Nations Capital" The
President added he hopes that
it will stimulate other efforts
to improve not only the Po-
tomac but also the rest Of
Americas waterways.
HIS spokesman for the dedi-
cation ceremonies. attended by
nearly 800 officials and we'll
wiShers from the entire met
ropolitan area, was Secretary
Flemming of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare.
Points to Future
"Our streams must be
cleaned up if we are to have
adequate water resources to
meet the needs of our explod-
ing population" Mr.. Flemming
said
The new addition at Blue
Plains must be regarded mot
as an end, but a beginning" in
the much-needed achievement
of better water quality and the
appearance of the sewage and
silt-laden Potomac, he said.
II fully expect all area juris-
dictions will see to it that the
agreed-to program for improv-
ing the river will continue un-
abated," the Secretary said. If
the program is not carried out,
I will not hesitate to order a
hearing to inquire into the
matter further" Mr.. Flemming
warned, citing his enforcement
authority over interests e
streams vested in him by the
Federal Water Pollution Con-
troll Act.
Hailed by Mcmillan
But, he said, he is confident
the Potomac cleanup will move
forward rapidly land that the
day will come when we can
point to the Potomac as an
example that other STATES and
communities and business can
follow in preserving water re-
sources"
Chairman Mcmillan Of the
House District Committee called
the new plant improvement
"the biggest step yet" toward
lessening the pollution of the
river.
II hope it is only a start and
that the same enthusiasm
which brought it about will
prevail in the future" the
South Carolina Democrat said.
He added: THE people on
Capitol Hill are as anxious to
have the Potomac cleaned up
as are the residents of the
Nations Capital.
Aerated Treatment
Mr.. Mcmillan also took the
occasion to praise the caliber
of District government workers
in general and David v. Aud,
director of Sanitary Engineer
ing in particular. Mr.. Auld's
department is responsible for
distributing the drinking wa
ter and diSposing the wastes

The plan calls for a link Of
the circumferential highway to
run south from River road into
Cabin John Valley, west across
Persimmon Tree road and south

Frank ]. Whalen, an attorney

link.
Buford NJ. Hayden, represent
ing area property owners, also
called for more access roads
to the circumferential highway
Alden A. Potter of 84OO Mac
Arthur boulevard Bethesda,
critized the link as, "a prime
example of the wastefully plan
less planning, by separate jur-
iSdictions across State lines,
of a nationwide highway net

GuiItyVerdict
In Rope Stirs
Court Melee

A convicted rapist facing a
death sentence screamed, Kill
me now" and touched of a
near riot yesterday in Mont
gomery County Circuit Court.
The melee, in which the pris-
oner'S brother leaped forward
and slugged a detective, was
over in four minutes, but a riot
call brought a dozen police
cruisers and nearly 80 police
men to the courthouse in Rock
vile.
Both the defendant, Gordon
Leon Contee, a 23-year-old ex-
convict found guilty of raping
a 25-year-old mental patient,
and his half brother, identified
by police as Melvin w. Smith,
20. of Gaithersburg, were sub
dued and put in the county jail
on the top floor of the court
house, one flight above the
courtroom.
Tension that gathered dur
ing Contee's two-day trial
reached a climax at 4:45 pm.
when the jury of 10 men and
two women. after celebrating
for As minutes. returned to the
courtroom with their verdict.
Contee, slightly built, who had
described himself as a driver
and former hospital orderly,
hunched forward in his chair.
The verdict was guilty. There
was no recommendation from
the jury for mercy. If it had
so recommended, a death sem
tence would have been ruled
out. Contee leaned forward,
sobbed, groaned NO" and sud-
denly jumped forward, his arms
failing.
Sheriff deputies and two
husky detectives seized him.
Detective Sergt. Frank Griggs
managed to get an arm lock
around the prisoners neck and
bent him over the courtroom
rail. Contee was still shouting
and screaming: Sentence me
now kill me now"
Suddenly the brother, Smith
darted forward from a knot OF
Contee's relatives and friends
in the back of the courtroom
and, vaulting over two benches
attacked Sergt. Griggs.
Contee'S wife, meanwhile, il
another part of the courtroom
began screaming Historically
She was restrained by tWC
women. Smith ran out of tn,
courtroom but was pinned
against a corridor wall b.

 In the United States Navy-as in the British Navy-there is a stern tradition which requires that no captain may surrender or aban- don his ship as long as she is still capable of damaging the enemy. An opposite philosophy is brought out in the gripping story, the Pursuit of the Graf Spec.
 The film dramatically brings out the story of the Graf Specs cap tain, Hans LangSdorff, who blew up his battleship in the estuary in the River Plate in Montevideo Har Dor rather than go out and take the chances of further battle with the British cruisers which were lying in wait for him.
