Army Drops
Edgewood
Party Probe

lockwood, Md, Aug. Is
(AP).-The commander of the
Army Chemical Center here
said today the investigation of
the Bush River Inn incident,
in which soldier-scientists al
legedly sang obscene and anti
Army songs, is closed.
But Brig. Gen. Harold Walm-
sley said conditions which led
to the incident will receive con-
ditions which led to the in
cident will receive continuing
attention.
Gen. Walmsley said, as he
had indicated earlier, there
definitely will be no court
martial of any of the about go
enlisted men present at the
August Is party at the inn
near Edgewood.
An Army officer and two
civilian witnesses had COM
planned of profanities and
rowdy behavior by the men in
the presence of women.
Only 9 of the estimated so
celebrants have been identified,
said the general, and no fur
ther attempt will be made to
identify the others.
He explained he arrived at
this decision after receiving an
apology by spokesman for the
800 enlisted scientific and pro-
feSSional personnel at this
highly security-conscious post.
After a similar party II
months ago, II enlisted men
were charged before a court
with drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. The drunk
charges were dropped. but 10
men were convicted and the
other pleaded guilty to the
other count.
All were denoted and fined
$25 each.

Falls Church
Cuts Rates on
Towns Water

The Falls Church City Coun.
Gil last night agreed to lower
rates for water 1t sells to the
towns Of Fairfax and Vienna.
But 1t decided that the cost
of water supplied to the Fair
fax County Water Authority
must be determined by arbitra-
ton.
The city and the authority
have been unable to agree on
water rates, although both
claim their proposals reflect the
"true cost" Of the water oper-
alton.
There was no disagreement
however, when the council
unanimously agreed to lower
the cost of city water to the
towns of Fairfax and Vienna.
The two towns will pay Falls
Church 80 cents per 1000 gall
Ions, a decline of 8 cents from
the current rate. The new
water charge, retroactive to
July /, will be subject to peri
odic review.
The towns Of Vienna and Fair
fax reported that water from
Falls Church is used only for
emergencies and that the price
cut could not be passed along
to consumers.
Cites Competition
In recommending the change,
City Manager Lewis z. John
ston freely admitted that a
Fairfax Water Authority at
tempt to compete with Falls
Church in supplying Fairfax
and Vienna with water was a
major factor prompting the de-
crease. A substantial increase
in water use by the two towns
also played a part in the de-
cision.
The Fairfax Water Author
| ity-Falls Church dispute on
rates stems from an agree
ment reached several months
ago outlining the 30-square-
mile water service area of Falls
Church. The agreement also
calls for the authority to tap
at cost Falls Church'S water
line running from the Dale
carlia Reservoir. The agree
ment stated that if the con-
Sulting engineers of the two
jurisdictions were unable to
agree on the rate to be charged.
they would meet with a third
engineer to arbitrate a figure.
When negotiations broke down
the authority had proposed a
rate of II cents per 1000 GAL
Ions and the city Is cents.
Read School Law
Other actions taken during
the present councils last. s.
hour meeting included a first
reading Of a compulsory school
attendance law. Outgoing Coun-
Gilman G. Gait Bready proposed
the measure. based on a reSo-
luton passed by the school
board last month. A second
reading and public hearing
was slated for the first meet
ing in September.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-25

up classes led to a heated de-
bate at a closed session and the
resignation of one member.
Dewey Wood, a Front Royal
barber, stalked out Of the meet
ing and resigned after the
board had voted, 8 to 6, against
committing itself at this time
to operating a private school.
At the end of a four hour
meeting. Chairman Hugh Nc
Cormick announced that the
board voted Ito determine If
buildings. finances and teach
ers are available to operate a
private segregated school, and
that II such are available, the
board will operate such a
school," He said the final de-
cision will be made Septem-
Der 3.
Cautious Advance Favored
Mr.. Mccormick was one of
those in favor of postponing
the decision. Il don't feel we
should start something and
maybe have to backtrack on
it," reporters learned he told
the board.
1t was reported to the board
that 532 students have signed
up for private classes, and
that $77,300 had been pledged
in tuition. Board members es-
innate it will take nearly $l40,-
600 to operate the school.
Students will be eligible for
State tuition grants of 1920
once the school is in operation
and accredited by the State.

get tighter ana that q prime
per cent and q discount rate
Of at least 41a per cent can be
expected before mid-l960.
1T is certainly not inconceiv-
able that the advance could
be even greater than this" he
said. Present rates are 5 and
4 per cent, respectively.
Emerson P. Schmidt. research
director of the Chamber, said
it is possible that loan fund
scarcity has come close to its
peak. with housing starts
down and with the Treasury
operating close to a balanced
budget, more funds will be
available for other purposes, "
he declared.
Economic expansion should
continue through 1860, al
though the rate will slow down
in the last half, Mr.. Schmidt
predicted. The steel strike
probably will delay the next
economic downturn to some
time in 1861, he said.
FOresees Heavy Demand
Mr.. Morris said the steel
strike has tended to ease the
pressure on the money market
in recent months, but pre-
dicted heavy business demand
for funds through the first half
of 1860.
Looking ahead at prospec-
tive credit demands through
mid-l960, it seems clear that
demand for funds for inven-
tory accumulation and for A.
nancing the growing volume
of plant and equipment ex-
penditures is going to be very
great" he said.
This will put a severe
strain on commercial banks
and added strain on the bond
market. The volume of corpo-
rate bond offerings should be
substantially higher than dur
ing the first half Of 1859. In
fact, the early November cal
endar of corporate bonds in
the oflng already is slightly
higher than the early Novem-
ber calendar Of the last three
years."
Demand for consumer credit
also has been rising at the rate
of about $500 million a month,
and If the auto industry has
as good a year as predicted this
trend should continue. he said
Demand for mortgage credit
can be expected to absorb any
funds available for this pur-
pose, and demand from State
and local governments con-
tinues to hold up despite higher
interest rates. he continued.
Expects Higher GNP
Mr.. Schmidt said gross ma
tional product, the value of all
goods and services, now is al
a rate of $485 to $490 billion
a year and should average $505
to $50 billion for all of 1860
He forecast a $595 billion rate
by 1865 and $700 billion BY
1870.
He predicted living costs
would not rise much in 1850
unless a steel settlement sets 9
pattern Of higher wages In al
industry. Farm prices will bt
lower, he said.
Experts from the steel, autt
and construction industries
were generally optimistic bu
based predictions on a suppose
ton there will be no resumption
Of the steel strike and tina
other possible labor dispute
will be settled without tie-ups
Burton N. Behling, economis
with the Association of Ameri'
can Railroads, discussed tht
labor situation in his industry
grimly and said carriers wer,
determined to end antiquateC
work rules. Postwar gains from
more efficient equipment al
