District to Ask
Millions for Sewer

The District will submit legis-
lation when Congress recon-
venes next month to authorize
borrowing of $27 million from
the United States Treasury for
major expansion of it's sewer
age system.
Engineer Commissioner A. c..
yelling announced today that
this action would be taken to
help finance a $70.6 million
sewer plan known as Project C.
Work started on this project
recently.
The sewer program would
provide facilities for taking
care of sewage from the pro-
posed new intercepter from
Dulles International Airport,
dispose of sewage flowing in
from Maryland and Virginia
and permit improvement of the
District sewer network.
The proposed legislation also
calls for postponement of the
repayment of both interest and
principal on $40 million of the
SGT million loan until revenues
from the new facilities provide
sufficient income.

He also pointed out that the

SpinksviIIe
County Test

Prince Georges County health
officials today said they are
running tests on water from
four wells serving seven homes
in the Spinksville community,
near Forestville, in response to
a residents complaint.
A health department spokes-
man said one septic tank was
found to be defective Wednes-
day and a 30-day correction
order was issued to the sub
division owner, Fred Spinks.
About six septic tanks were
checked, the spokesman added.
Mr.. Spinks said two men
were working on the septic tank
today.
The building inspectors Office
also has sent men to the COM
munity, and ordered Mr.. Spinks
to obtain building permit for
an apartment house under con-
struction.
Mr.. Spinks today said he
thought he had complied with
building permit regulations
when he obtained a permit to
move the building from its for
mer site. The move was neces-
sary when the site was needed
for road construction. He said
he applied yesterday for a
building permit to cover the
addition.
There are about 19 homes in
the community. Mr.. SpinkS
said. He said he bought the
community about four or five
years ago and has added five
houses to it.
The homes rent for $50 a
month without inside plumb
ing and $65 with plumbing. He
said whenever he has gotten
complaints from tenants about
well water he instructed his
men to clean the wells and add
Clorox.
The health department noted
there are two privies in use.
Health officials said old regula-
tions required a distance of so
feet between wells and septic
tanks, but an ordin anc e
adopted in 1857 requires 100
feet.
Mr.. Spinks, a civic leader in
Forestville and an official in the
Intercommunity Council of
Southern Maryland, said he
has been trying for more than
a year to have water lines eX-
tended to his area by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.

Judge Henry w. Edgerton of

that he believes the severe pen

He noted that one judge in
the District who has studied
the problem for many years

crimes to get the money to feed

The laws which require the
same stiff Jail terms for mar
coticS addicts as for narcotics
peddlers were criticized today
by Judge David L. Bazelon of
the United States Court of
Appeals here.
"An unfortunate addict with a
tragic dependency on drugs and
no prior record of convictions
faces the same penalty as a
narcotics "pusher," the judge
noted. The case involved Elmer
R. Hawkins, 27, of the 600 block
of E street Sc. Hawkins was
sentenced to five years in jail
for the purchase and use of
heroin.
The law requires a mandatory
five-year sentence for such a
violation with no probation or
parole allowed even though the
defendant had no prior convic-
tionS. The same sentence is
mandatory for the people who
sell narcotics illegally.
Concurs Reluctantly
Judge Bazelon said he re-
luctantly concurred in the ma
jority opinion which affirmed
Hawkins conviction. The ma
jority opinion, written by Chief
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman
and Judge Wilbur K. Miller,
noted that there had been evi-
dence Hawkins had thrown an
envelope containing 49 capsules
of heroin out of a window of an
apartment in the 700 block of
Virginia avenue Sc. just before
he was arrested last August.
The majority did not attempt
to answer Hawkins contention
that he was subject to too severe
a sentence.

ognized as essential to relieve

it about became known as
Wings; those who didn't go
along with it, Tories.
The Wings had the ascend
ancy almost all through the
18th century, but it ended
with a Tory, the younger Pitt,
as Prime Minister.
In the 10Th century the
Liberals took over as the
anti Tory party. And the
Tories preferred the term
Conservatives. In the latter
part of the century when
DiSraeli, the Conservative
leader, and Gladstone, the
Liberal, were succeeding one
another, the tWo-party SyS-
tenn was so definitely eStab-
lished that w. S. Gilbert con-
tributed this little rhyme to
the lyrics of Iolanthe:
Ho1O Nature GllOayS does
contriUe
That every boy and every
girl
That's born into this World
GliUe
Is either q little Liberal
Or a little Conservative.
Now Britain has had a
change of party alignmentS
in our time. After World War
I, the Labor Party took over
as the anti-C Conservative
Party. There is still a Liberal
Party, but it only has six
seats in the House of Com
mons.
But since the Republican
Party elected Lincoln 100
years ago, We have had no
change in party alignments
except in 1912 when Theo-
dore RooSevelt's Bull Moose
(ProgreSSive) Party carried
several States, in 1924 when
Robert LaFollette'S Progress
Sive Party carried his home
State, Wisconsin, and in 1948
when the DiXiecrats carried
four States.
This loyalty is what has
continued two important in
Stitutions in our unWritten
Constitution, the Republican
and Democratic Parties.
Loyalty is a good word, but
refusing to watch the other
party'S convention is carry
ing it too far. Sometimes the
doings of the opposition party
are more amusing that those
af your own.
