Boy Rocket Fan Gets
Boost From an Expert

An Arlington youngster has
been given a f1rst-stage boost
toward a career in rocketry by
DR.. Wernher Won Braun.
Last month. the parents of
Arthur Nails. 9, a student at
Peyton Randolph Elementary
School and a resident of 3917
South Thirteenth street. Ar
lington. decided to encourage
the boys fascination with
rockets.
They wrote DR.. Won Braun.
the German rocket expert and
director of the Development
Operations Division at the
Army's Redstone Arsenal in
Ala bama.
They suggested that if Dr..
Won Braun ever found the time
in Washington, he might drop
out to the house and talk to
Arthur.
DR.. Won Braun answered the
letter shortly and set an edu-
cational course for Arthur.
He said young people who
want to know more about
rocketry should read widely
on the subject and establish a
solid foundation Of knowledge"
He suggested that Arthur
when he's old enough. take a
course in science and engineer
ing and remain in college as
long as possible"

Teaching machines have been
around for several years. There

says. Each student has his
own machine. He progresses
through the lesson at his own
rate and he is informed i'm
mediately if he is answering
the questions right or wrong.
The Roanoke experiment is
being made possible by a S68.-
200 grant from Carnegie Corp.
of New York to DR.. Calvin and
DR.. Maurice w. Sullivan. Both
are professors at Hollins Col
lege who have been working
with the machines for some
time.
Evening star., 1960-04-17

Primarily, the grant will be
used for a teaching machine
experiment in modern Ian
guageS at Hollins. But the
professors were anxious to try
the machines in math and the
algebra experiment developed.
The machines do not elm

there, as always, ready to help
when a student finds material
he fails to understand.
Daniel P. Murphy, a former
algebra teacher now doing
graduate work at Hollins, chief
planner for the project. says
the biggest headache has been
preparing lessons fast enough
to keep up with the students.
They're moving faster than
we expected" he says.
DR.. Calvin says he thinks il
will be possible to teach the
average night school student q

five years" he said, unless
pollution comes into the area
from upriver."
Biggest Cleanup
For years they have been
calling the Potomac the best
dressed sewer in the Nation .
Mr.. Auld said. But the truth
is that we are embarked on the
biggest cleanup job of any
metropolitan area in the Ma
ton"
In the way of proof, he
strobe across his Office in the
third floor of the District
Building, pulled out a. big
chart and thumped it down on
the conference table.
The chart is a map of Metro
politan Washington criss-
crossed with lines representing
sewers. This anti-pollution
master plan, called Project c,
will cost $93 million to carry
out. Completion date is 1880
The bulk of the program is
slated to be finished between
now and 1870 at a cost of $70.4
million.
Money on Hand
Congress has appropriated
SAP million of the Districts
own money for Project C for
the current fiscal year. For the
1861 fiscal year (starting July
!. 1960). S5.7 million of District
money has been appropriated
and another $3,8 million for
the project is tied up in a
revenue bill in Congress. So the
money is in hand to get a good
start on the project.
The basic idea of Project c
is to eliminate the raw sewage
that spills into the Potomac
from so called combination
sewers every time it rains.
In clear weather. these COM
bination sewers take housing
and industrial wastes down tC
Washington's treatment plant
at Blue Plains. But when il
rains, the water from roofs and
streets goes into the combina-
tion sewers too.
The combination sewers are
too small to handle both. Sc
overflow lines take some of the
load out of the line and dump
the polluted water into the Po-
tomac.
Ground Breaking Soon
Project C will have new lines
installed to take the overflow
down to the treatment plant
instead of letting sewage &c
into the river. Ground will be
broken next month for the first
part of the construction work
The District engineers will
work down-river from the area
of Chain Bridge, intercepting
the sewage bound for the Po-
tomac. By the summer of 1865,
Mr.. Auld predicts no sewage
will be going into the river
between ain and Key
Bridges. Virginia already has
sealed off its sewage lines
dumping into that stretch of
the river.
BY the summer of 1875, Mr..
Auld says, the District will
have the river clean for SWIM
ming all the way from Chain
Bridge to the site. of the new
bridge going over Theodore
Roosevelt Island.

it is his final responsibility,
and must help him think
about that responsibility"
The chief chaplain described
the counseling sessions as q
process in socialization." Mr..
Robey said the prisoners as a
group were men who were
alone "in a very real sense
and that the group sessions
brought out mutual problems
and mutual solutions.
But for prisoners, for whom
time always weighs heavily,
the chaplains attempt to offer
more than guidance.

Last night, the Lorton in

possibly the first of its kind
in a District institution. Fam
lilies of prisoners and selected

mates performed. The show
was sponsored by the chap
lains.
Mr.. Robey said that, in ad-
dition to chaplains' duties of
presiding at funerals and in
forming inmates of sickness or
death in the family, he has
also performed marriages for
inmates still incarcerated.
But the chaplains seldom see
the success of their work ex-
cept when a prisoner walks
through the main gates to the
outside. Their failures are
more sharply pointed out by
the men who return.
But a man has to have
