development Of the Potomac

said.
Representative Saylor, Re-
publican of Pennsylvania, au-
thor of the pure" park bill,
promptly jumped on the Wit
ness.
1T seems strange" Mr.. Say
lor said, that the Commissions
ers have done nothing about
the water supply, yet when the
C&O park bill comes up they
suddenly get very concerned.
If they were really concerned
they'd have been before Con-
gress years ago"
Mr.. Aud said the city did
not initiate the C&O legisls-
ton and that from 1859 until
now the question Of Washing
tons water rights to the Poto-
mac has never cen in jeopardy.
Mai. Gen. U. S. Grant III.
representing the Committee Of

objected TO any dam construc-
ton that would inundate any

that the committee require the
Engineer Corps to submit ale
tentative water storage plans
under which flooding the canal
could be avoided while adding

Establishment of the C&O
Canal area as a national his
torical park may make it al
most impossible to construct a
Metropolitan Washington water
supply dam and reservoir. a
congressional committee was
told today.
The view was expressed by
Chairman Oracle Pfost, of the
House Interior Public Lands
Subcommittee which resumed
hearings on pending legislation
to make the canal a Federal
park.
The main point of contention
in the various bills is a provi-
sion which would reserve a 35-
mile section upstream from
Great Falls for possible future
dam construction.
Committee members and a
number of witnesses who favor
the restriction have pointed
out that since the National
Park Act was passed in 1916
no dam has ever been per-
mitted in a national park.
Selling on this point today,
Mrs. Pfost asserted: once
the C&O has been established
as a national park, residents Of
the Metropolitan Washington
area would literally have TO

have their tongues hanging out
for water before dam would
be built in the park"
The chairman made clear. as
virtually all the committee
members have that she strongly
favors the Gao park bill. She
asserted further that she con-
siders it reasonable to reserve
the 35-mile potential water
impounding section while going
ahead with developing the rest
of the l50-mile stretch of the
canal as a national park.
The bill being most closely
studied would prevent park de-
velopment in this area until
the Army Engineer Corps COM
pletes its study of all the Po-
tomac River Valleys water re-
sources.
DaVld V. Auld. District d.
rector of sanitary engineering,
representing the Commission
ers. supported the identical bills
offered by Representatives
Foley and Landlord, Democrats
Of Maryland. Both measures in
clude a restriction to protest
the River Bend area for pos
sible future water supply de-
velopment. The other bills,
which have either no such pro-
vision or one that is generally
regarded as weak, could re
strict or preempt" the future

But Dennis escape was con-
sidered so difficult that a Pa

Clergy 10 Aid
Traffic Drive

Church leaders were asked
today to play a leading role,
perhaps from their pulpitS, in
the Washington drive to re-
duce traffic deaths.
About Is persons, represent
ing Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish congregations, were
asked to help in Traffic Safety
Sabbath" to be staged over a
three-day period, May 1924.
This is the week enc before the
Memorial Day holiday-1orm-
ally a period in which traffic
deaths increase.
Enlisting the aid of the clergy
were the Citizens Traffic Ad-
visory Board and District Traf-
fic officials at a meeting in the
District building.
John T. Kenna, religious di-
rector of the National Safety
Council in Chicago, suggested
that the clergy could base their
sermons on traffic safety, en-
phasizing that mortality is
the first code of the road" He
passed out material, prepared
by the council, which is de-
signed to aid ministers in the
preparation of sermons or
prayers on traffic safety.
George England, director of
Motor Vehicles, said traffic
safety programs often fail to
reach certain segments of the
population. He said of the Is
pedestrian deaths this year,
compared to three at this time
last year, the majority were
over so years of age. He said
the older age group might
better be reached through
church organizations.
Engineer Commissioner A. C.
yelling added he was count
ing on the city's religious lead
.ers to get out the word on
traffic safety"

missing the charge. Noting that

enforced without public coop
Grafton, he said police should
apply reasonable common
sense"
The arresting officer, Motor
cycle Pvt. Jennings w. Schana,
testified he saw Mr.. Finn
parked at the expired meter
about four minutes before he
placed him under arrest.
The defendant testified the
officer arrested him after re-
fuSing to let him put a dime
in the meter.
"Oh. Finn, huh, ] know you
and your brother" the defend
ant quoted the officer as saying.
I'm not going to give you
a ticket-I'm taking you in"
Mr.. Finn said the officer told
him. The defendant said he
was held in a Jail cell for about
an hour and a half before being
taken to Traffic Court. The case

SNhI otaH Wfltef
District home rule hearings
continued like an argument
among friends before a Senate
subcommittee today.
Subcommittee Chairman
Hartke. Democrat of Indiana.
an avowed champion of self
government, heard six local
witnesses urge legislation con-
verting the District to a terri
tory. Two statements in oppo-
sition to home rule were sub
mitted by the Glover Park and
Lincoln Park citizens associa-
tons.
Also submitted for the record
was a letter from Carl Shipley.
chairman of the Republican
State Committee, opposing
election of territorial assem-
blyman by wards.
Party Labels Favored
The bill, supported by the
majority of witnesses since
hearings began last Wednesday.
calls on District residents to
elect a l5-member assembly.
Candidates would be elected on
a non-partiSan basis to repre-
sent five wards.
I'VE also are very strongly
for partisan elections and po-
litical balance" wrote Mr..
Shipley. THE whole fabric Of
our Government is preserved
by the two-party system with
one succeeding to power in a
free and open election and the
other filling the role of a loyal
opposition"
This view lined up Republic
cans with local Democrats who
assured the subcommittee last
week they wanted the terri
torial bill amended so candi-
dates could run with party
tables and represent the city
at large.
Supporting the territorial
measure today were. Culver
Chamberlain, chairman of the
Democratic Central Commit
tee Suffrage Committee; Dr..
Frederick ReiSsig, executive
secretary. National Capital
Area Council of Churches; Mrs.
Ida S. Taylor, president, Vir-
ginia White Speel Republican

Major Bout Due Wednesday
Testimony was a kind OF
warmup for major bouts to
come for home rule legislation.
The first is scheduled for 10
an. Wednesday when Senator
Morse, Democrat of oregon,
will come before the subcom-
mittee to argue for his alterna-
tiveS to a territorial govern
ment.
i Claiming that this appar-
emily popular idea is half a
loaf" of local government.
Senator Morse has sponsored
a bill for an elected mayor, city
council and school board. His
second alternative is a con-
gressional commission to run
an election in which Washing
ton residents would vote for
the kind of government they
prefer.
The Morse position, coupled
with calls from Democratic
Senators Bartlett of Alaska
and Kennedy of Massachusetts,
for more local control and less
presidential power than pro-
vided by the territorial bill, is
expected to require considera-
BILE amendment of the legisla-
ton.
Home rule opposition, if 1t
appears in concerted form, is
expected to show itself in the
House rather than the Sem
ate. House District Committee
Chairman Mcmillan, Democrat
of South Carolina. has indi-
Gated a willingness to hold
hearings on home rule. They
would be the first scheduled in
10 years.
