It states:
THE tax payment herewith

the idea of preventing the en-
forced attendance of any child

In contrast to the Arlington

unlawful for a dog to run at

Support for
Canal Park
By JOHN w. STEPP
Star Staff Writer

Qualified support for estab-
fishing the c. & o. Canal area
as a national park so long as
the park would not impede pro-
visions for Metropolitan Wash
Iington's future water supply
has been given by the Citizens
Council for a Clean Potomac.
The action by the councils
steering committee, whic h
speaks for the full organization,
was announced today. In
effect, it supports legislation
now pending in Congress.
The recommendation specifi-
cally urges that no major park
development along the Poto-
mas River between the River
Bend area and Harper's Ferry,
w. Va. be undertaken until
authorities have determined
whether water storage struc-
lures will be needed along that
stretch of the river.
River Bend, about two miles
upstream from Great Falls, is
the most frequently mentioned
site for a multiple purpose dam
to provide, among other things.
an adequate reservoir Of drink
ing water for Metropolitan
Washington.
The council emphasized 1t
takes no stand for or against
water impoundment in the
River Bend vicinity. But at the
same time. it stressed that
land along the Potomac be-
tween River Bend and Harper'S
Ferry should be acquired now
before prices increase further
These acquisitions would then
be available for either park OF
water storage use, whichever
may be deemed more necessary
by competent authorities.
Strong opposition to Nation
al Capital Parks plans to build
a water sports center at the
mouth of Rock Creek was
voiced by council members.
The 100000 boathouse in
stallation, approved two days
ago by the National Fine Arts
Commission, should be located
farther upstream along thu
Potomac where pollution by
periodic raw sewage overflow
is less aggravated, the council
asserted.

Il just jumped out and pulled

safety patrolman recalled.
Particularly proud of Ronald
is Pvt. Wade G. Baucom, school
co-ordinator for the fifth pre-
cinct, who is recommending the
boy for the American Automo-
bile Associations life saving
award.
"He is one of the boys we
trained at our safety patrol

Pvt. Baucom said. His GOODNESS
and courage is a credit to the
whole program.

Ronald came in for praise
also from Mrs. Matte Dyke

She sailed the great circle

Urged
To ReWrite
Milk Code

Senator Proxmire, Democrat
of Wisconsin, today called on
the District Commissioners to
revise the milk sanitation code
to permit the sale of milk by
low cost dairy producers IN
other States.
The Senator, in letter to the
Commissioners, declared the
District code should be revised
to conform with United States
Public Health Service regula-
tons to assure Washington con-
sumerS of more milk at lower
cost.
At present, District regula-
tons prohibit the importing of
milk from areas outside of near
by Maryland and Virginia.
Senator Proxmire declared
that the Public Health Service
code would assure Washing
ton consumers of the highest
possible degree of protection in
the quality and wholesomeness
of milk. 1t would in no way
result in lowering of the quail
ity standards of milk in the
Washington markets"
The Senator declared that
completely artificial barriers
in the Districts milk code "ac-
complish nothing in the way of
protecting the health of Wash
ington consumers"
The Senator said he has
been informed that the Com
miSsionerS are considering some
sort of reviSionS of the milk
regulations to more adequately
and effectively conform to the
realistic preSent-day standards
developed by the Public Health
Service"
The battle waged by milk
producers in other parts of the
country to gain access to the
Washington retail market has
been goin gon for years. At
present there are several bills
in both houses of Congress to
remove these barriers.

TO GET TO 1T we went
through one of the ware
houses. If you're lucky, you
learn something every day.
The Rambler was amazed at
the amount of newsprint,
roll upon roll stacked high,
in storage there.
A boom lifted a howitzer
high above the deck, Silhou-
citing it against the sky, and
then lowered it to the
wharf. And there we're a
couple of dozen more of
them on deck.
Fortunately for his peace
of mind, he encountered
Dick Breed, youthful vice
president of international

porter.
Don't be alarmed" he
said, we're not running
guns. This has nothing to do
with the recent revolution in
Cuba, or coming ones any
where. Some of these guns
are from World War 1, They
are all obsolete.
Our president, Sam Cum
mings, picked them up from
place to place on a recent
European tour. If we man
age to sell them-and I don't
see how we're going to sell
them all-they will go to

Grams organizations to dec
crate their clubhouSes."
