Yucht Club
Reports Rats
Infest Area

Officials Of the Capital Yacht
Club, Tenth street and Maine
avenue S.W., report that rats
have suddenly grown more nu-
merous there in the last few
weeks.
Wilbur Sherwood, commo-
dore of the yacht club, said the
rodents are so bold they can
be seen during the day scurry-
ing about on the driveway lead
ing to the clubhouse. Some
times the rats swim in the
channel. he said.
Health department officials
say the rats may have moved
into the yacht club area in
their frantic search for food.
With the demolition of most of
the Southwest redevelopment
area. their food sources have
dwindled.
Actually, according to Will
liam H. Cary, the Health De-
partment's chief of food and
public health engineering, the
rats are on the run in the re-
development area.
He said his department, in
cooperation with the Redevel-
opment Land Agency has been
engaged in a concerted drive
against the rodents. Poisonous
food and chemical substances
are being planted around the
Southwest ruins wherever evi-
dence of rats is found. Police
report less of a rat problem ex-
lists now in most OF the South
west area.
Mr.. Cary said no program
can be completely effective. He
said rodent control workers will
check the situation at the wa
terfront and intensity the fight

Khrushchev Hinges Slash
In Arms on U.N. Overhaul
New Terms

Proposals

GLEN COVE, N. Y, Sept. "a
(AP).-Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev said tonight that unless
his plan for revamping the
United Nations is adopted 1--WE
will likewise be unable to solve
the disarmament question"
The Russian leader tossed
these new conditions into his
international proposals at a 40
minute news conference held
outside the Russians palatial
mansion here.
Khrush hev, in what
amounted to a rebuttal to the
United State claim that his
proposals are a declaration of
war" on the U. N, launched
into an extended discussion OF
his views.
The Soviet Premier bitterly
attacked U. N. Secretary-Gen-
eral Dag Hammarskjold.
Raises Arms Issue
Then, telling reporters to
report his words correctly, he
proceeded to link his U. N.
proposals for a three-member
executive body to the question
of disarmament:
He said that if disarmament
is reached, the negotiations so
far indicate it would be ad-
ministered by an international
army.
But he said. such an inter-
national force is impossible
under the command of a single
man such as Mr.. Hammar-
skiold.
He called the Secretary Cen
eral a lackey Of the "imperialist
powers.
Therefore, he said, the U. N.
should have three secretaries
general as he propoSes-one
chosen by what he called the
"imperfaliSt, capitalist, colonial
ist powers" one picked by the
socialist" or Communist pow-
ers, and one chosen by the
neutrals.
IF we are unable to solve
this question we will likewise
be unable to solve the disarma-
ment question" Mr.. Khrush-
chev said solemnly.
No Alternative Named
The Kremlin leader did not
spell out, however, what he
would do about disarmament if
his U. N. reorganization pro-
poSal is not accepted.
To have a U. N. force COM
manded by Mr.. Hammarskjold,
he said. would mean creating
the armed forced who would
destroy us, (the Communist
powers) and anybody who
would entertain that idea
would be completely mad"

Incinerdfor
Never Used
Sludge-Treuting
Plant Was Built
Four Years Ago
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star stan writer


A District government drying
and incinerator plant completed
four years ago at a cost oI
nearly 50 million has never
been put into operation. Wheth-
er 1t ever will be is uncertain
This long-idle facility at the
sewage treatment works at Blue
Plains was designed either to
burn or to dry sludge for COM
mercial sale. Sludge is the
solid matter left after sewage
is treated.
David v. Aud, director of
the Department of Sanitary En-
gineering, and Roy L. Orndorff
deputy director. give these rea-
sons why the plant has not
been operated:
l. The installation does not
meet the performance Specifi-
cations provided by the Depart
ment Of Sanitary Engineering
for its construction.
2. The price paid for what
would be the plants product,
heat-dried sludge which can be
used as q soil conditioner, has
dropped substantially since the
installation was authorized
about 10 years ago.
$211,000 Payment Withheld
Because the plant has not
complied with specifications,
the District government has de-
clined for four years to pay
the contractor $211,088.57 OF
the $740.637.75 cost Of provid-
ing and installing equipment in
the $1,125.000 building.
I'VE intend to get the per-
formance required by the speci-
fications or reduce the pay
ment," said Mr.. Aud.
However. he added that Sin
the present state of the market
for the plants product, opera
ton Of the facility would not
be economically justified"
Mr.. Auld, who said the de-
ciSion to build the plant was
made by his predecessor as
director Of the sanitary en-
cheering department, stated
that If the price for heat-dried
sludge goes up. I'VE could afford
to operate the plant"
''It just happens" he said
"that when the plant was au-
thorized, dry sludge was bring
ing $16 q ton. Now it is hard
to get So or 81 a ton"
Calls Plant "Ace in Hole"
Mr.. Aud said there is also
the possibility that the plant
could be used some time to
dispose Of sludge by burning
1t up.
I'VE haven't been in the po-
sition so far Of having to de-
stroy sludge by this MEANS
said Mr.. Aud. Nevertheless
the plant does provide a very
valuable means of complete
disposal any time it is impos-
sible to get rid of sludge by
other means.
This plant Is a substantial
ace In the hole. You don't turn
sewage OF and you've got to
dispose Of the sludge."
