Sewer Solution
Commissioners Hold
Responsibility for
Dulles Airport Issue
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
star stan Writer

star stan Writer
The National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council will
meet tomorrow to help shape
a sewer route decision involv-
ing millions of dollars.
A location recommended by
the District Department of
Sanitary Engineering for the
proposed Dulles Airport inter+
ceptor sewer has spanked sharp
controversy.
Opponents Of the proposed
route in the Potomac River
Valley contend 1t would en-
courage unwanted high density
development In areas on both
the Maryland and Virginia sides
Of the river.
Supporters maintain that 1t
is the cheapest route and would
serve the most people for the
money.
Commissioners to Decide =
The law that authorized a
$25.2 million loan for the sewer
requires the District to consult
with the National Capital Plan
ming Commission and the Ma
tional Capital Regional Plan
ming Council on location Of the
sewer.
The NCPC has not taken a
stand so far on the sewer route
and has referred the matter to
the council.
While the District Commis-
sioners will be guided by rec
concentrations from the two
planning agencies, they have
final responsibility in determ-
lining the route.
William E. Finley, executive
director of the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission, said
the recommended route "f1ies
in the face" of the land. use
plan proposed by the Mary
land-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Sees Lower Cost
Mrs. Anne wilkins, chair
man Of the Fairfax Board of
County Supervisors, said the
proposed route would encour-
age high-density development
in the Great Falls area in Vir-
ginia where it is not wanted.
Col. Frederick j. Clarke, Dis
trict Engineer Commissioner,
said the route urged by the
sanitary engineering depart
ment would cost less than
other prposed routes.
Il would find 1t extremely
difficult to justify at this time
any other than the most eco
nomical solution" said Col.
Clarke. The route we have
proposed would also serve the
most people.
"Mr. Finley just sees the
problem differently from the
way we do. 1t boils down to a
question of whether a sewer
line is a proper device to en-
force coming"
Kraft Supports Plan
Mr.. Finley agreed that he
believed the public should use
whatever tools it has available
to attain COMMUNICATIVE
goals, including the location of
a sewer line if necessary.
Richard H. Kraft, regional
planning council director, sup
ports the plan urged by the
sanitary engineering depart
ment. He said his staff does
not favor substitution of "un-
sound engineering" which he
said would be required by some
of the other proposed routes
as "a way of attaining general
land-uSe plans"

than the average gag writer can
produce in a week of hard work.
These are the comics who are
always "on," who are the life of
the party, and who can amuse
any group at any time.
Then there is the second
type like me.
When I attend parties, the
life of them I'm not.
When I meet people for the
first time, do I leave them
laughing? Oh no, not me. I
leave them wondering: "Is that
a comedienne?"
And when I'm at a night club
and the comedians act is going
well, do I feel so carried away
with the hilarity of it all that
I dash on stage to add my own
inimitable hurnor to the happy
occasion? That would be the
day. If my life depended on it,
I couldn't stand up and trade
jokes with a night club comic.
And yet, professionally speak
ing, I have been known to make
people laugh. Sometimes.
The only way I can explain
it is to say that what I really
am, and what I really want to
be, is an actress who special
ICES in comedy.
Working within the confines
of a humorous sketch, like
those presented on the Garry
Moore Show on the CBS-TV
network, or within the con-
fines of a musical comedy, like
"Once Upon A Mattress"
feel free to let myself go. Facial
expressions, vocal extremes
exaggerated mannerism
all these become possible for
me when I can indulge in them
as a ficticiouS character.
What I would never do as

tically when someone tells me

only one song, land that pretty

''Nixon was so far in the lead
that it doesn't make any diff
ference what anybody else
does"
A California tire plant fore
man: The people vent a
Democratic President, 70 who
cares what the Republicans
do?"
A sprinkling few said that
1t would make no difference
because the real contest does
not begin until after the party
nominations.
Of those who said it would
help Mr.. Nixon, a common
reason was that it would tend
to unite the Republican Party
and that it would move into
the finals of the presidential
race with a united front, where
as the Democrats might be
split into many, many factions
There were other reasons
and here is a sampling OF
them:
A Louisiana housewife: THE
big money has stepped out
This leaves Nixon as the poor
but honest candidate"
An Iowa radio newscaster
ANY candidate with tt com
plete backing of his party is
certain to come out ahead
Besides, Nixon has done SC
much more than is required
by a Vice President"
OF those who said the Rookie
feller withdrawal would hurt
Mr.. Nixon the most common
reason was that without con-
test, the Republicans would
lose the attention of the elec-
torate.

Other reasons for thinking
Mr.. Nixon will be hampefed

A Louisiana widow: "A con-
test would have shown what
the Republicans really think
about the issues"
A Washington State aircraft
plant supervisor: Giving Nixon
the nomination without a con-
test goes against the whole
idea of democracy he is sup
posed to represent"
And a Virginia widow said
1T doesn't make any differ

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-Vice
President Nixon is a stronger
contender against any Demo-
cratic nominee for President be-
cause Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
withdrew from the race, in the
opinion of most people inter-
viewed by the What America
Thinks" poll.
Reporters for the poll have
been asking people from coast
to coast:
Because of Gov. Rockefel-
ler's withdrawal, Vice President
Nixon is expected to get the Re-
publican nomination for the
presidency without a contest.
Do you think this will help or
hurt his chances against the
Democratic nominee in the
election?"
