An overall sewer study of
the Seneca Greek watershed
was authorized yesterday by
the Washington Suburb a n
Sanitary Commission.
The action complies with a
recent request of the Mont
gomery County Council for a
financial and feasibility study
of the watersheds middle

east of Route %.
The study will be made by
Harry B. Shaw, the commits
sion'S former chief engineer,
who retired last September. He
will be paid 500 a day for a
maximum of IS days. The
WSSC expects to have the re-
port by August.
! Ine area is outside the Sani-
tary district and not heavily
populated. Commission officials
said the information will be
valuable for the anticipated ex-
tension of water and sewer
lines.

shed in view of expected resi-
Dental, commercial and indus

In other business, the COM

Fairfax County Supervisor
William H. Moss today scolded
the chairman of the planning
commission for saying that
citizens associations are hin
dering the orderly process of
planning.
Mr.. Moss said that if he
understood the remarks of
Commission Chairman Keith
Price, II should think that he
would find it extremely difficult
to conduct an unbiased and
unprejudiced public hearing"
Mr.. Price criticized citizens
associations last week in re-
sponse to a proposal by Mrs.
Anne wilkins, chairman of the
board of supervisors and a
commission member.
Mrs. wilkins had suggested
that all major construction
projects requiring site plans be
advertised for public hearings.
Noting that the county has a
qualified paid staff to check
site plan requirements, Mr..
Price said these persons should
be able to decide on what they
present to us without the help
of citizens who are not experts"
This citizen organization
thing is beginning to become a
racket and will kill all planning
in the county," Mr.. Price said.

Democrat Wheeler
Appointed toWSSC.

William B. Wheeler, a Silver
Spring attorney and an active
Democrat, has been named by
the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil to the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission.
Mr.. Wheeler, who had been
regarded as the strongest con-
tender for the post, was selected
yesterday after two council
members said the candidates
should be given an opportunity
to tell the council about their
qualifications. The nomination
will go to Gov. Tawes.
Mr.. Wheeler will replace

Reacting to this, Mr.. Moss
said he thought that "the av-

probably feel that they had

judged and stood very little
chance of having their day In

The experience of the plan

certainly indicates that nei-

added. "if they were inserted

voided it by making Virginia

Amendments Drafted
Mr.. Donovan said he had the
amendments drafted and
showed them to Speaker Moore.
"a few days later" Senator
Donovan added, "the Speaker
insisted that the amendments
go into the compact. But it
was too late, because the Mary
land Senate already had passed
the bill.

He told me he wouldn't.
II asked him if he would re-

"In view of this situation, I
concluded the only thing to do
was to Withdraw the bill"
In the Senate today, a drive
was reported in Virginia'S Sem

where the $25 millions or more
from the tobacco tax would not

Senator Thomas c. Phillips
of Abingdon took the floor yes
terday and said he hoped the
Legislature would revive a 2
per cent sales tax, with half of
the revenue going back to the

He said this, along with a
10 per cent increase in liquor

enough additional revenue to

EGG ON THE FIRE
Foes Cook Up Issues
For Blue Law Bottle

Virginia courts may be asked
to decide in coming months
whether an egg must be cooked
before 1t can be eaten.
Arlington Attorney Louis
Koutoulakos said today this is
one question likely to be tossed
at judges as legal attacks are
mounted against the State s
new blue law" The law re-
stricting Sunday businesses has
been sent to Gov. Almond for
signature after passing the Vir-
gin1a General Assembly.
But the businessmen predict
that whatever the courts may
eventually decide about the
constitutionality of the statute,
1t definitely will curtail Sunday
sales in nearby Virginia so long
as it remains in effect.
Representatives of two large
drug chains. Peoples and Drug
FAIR. reported that some of their
stores may close on Sunday.
Discount houses, hardware
and small grocery stores also
will be Immediately affected.
The new blue law differs from
the old in that it specifies
items which may not be sold
on the Sabbath.
The present statute prohibits
conduct of all Sunday business
except that involving charity
or necessity" Enforcement has
been sporadic because of diff
Guilty determining what consti-
tutes Charity or necessity"
The latest Sunday closing law
expressly forbids sale of jew
elry, silverware. clothing, fur
niture, appliances, cars, farm
equipment. luggage. toys, gar
den supplies, pets, cameras,
paints, footwear and china.

1t also bans sale of food
which cuStomarily is cooked
before it is eaten.
Mr.. Koutoulakos, who repre-
sentS several large discount
houses and auto dealers. said
his clients have asked him to
determine if the law is vulner-
able to legal attack.
Must an egg be cooked be-
fore it is edible, must meat be
roasted before you can put it
on the table?" he asked.
The new statute permits gas
stations, recreational facilities,
and theaters to open on Sum-
days. 1t also allows Sunday
sales of newspapers. canned
goods, sandwich meats, produce
sold by the grower at roadside
stands and Virginia hams.
why give a person the right
to sell hams just because they
are produced in Virginia?" Mr..
Koutoulakos asked. You could
carry this farther and let peo-
pie with blue eyes buy on Sum-
day. but not those with brown
eyes"
However, DR.. George Selma
bel, chairman of the Sunday
Observance Committee of the
Arlington Council of Churches,
declared the law is both just
and enforceable.
I'VE feel it is a very good law
which certainly will make pos
sible much better community
because of its curtailment of
Sunday business" he said.
Both Peoples and Drug Fair,
which operate A stores in
Northern Virginia, said they in
tend to comply fully with the
new blue law even though it
will sharply reduce their Sun
day business.

RICHMOND, Mar. 9.-Legis-
lation designed to help clean
up the Potomac River and pro-
tect it as source of water
was withdrawn from the Gen.
eral Assembly today.
The sponsor withdrew the
measure, accusing House
Speaker E. Blackburn Moore.
who is chairman of the Vir-
ginia Water Control Board, of
attempting to impose his views
on other signatory States to
the Potomac River compact.
Fairfax State Senator John
A. K. Donovan. who introduced
the bill January 26, said he
was forced to give up three
days before the scheduled ad-
journment of the Legislature.
His bill would have amended
the 20-year-old interstate COM
pact on the Potomac River
basin. The Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly passed the
amendment prior to its ad-
journment last week.
The bill would have given
the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin
broader authority in dealing
with problems of the river
basin, 1t presently is limited
to an advisory role on pollu-
ton. Z'he new legislation
would have given it additional
authority to study land uses
and advise the cooperating
Jurisdictions in this field.
In addition to Maryland and
Virginia, other members of the
compact are the District of Co.
lumbia, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Donovan, former chair
man of the Interstate Commits
sion on The Potomac River
Basin, said he appeared before
the Virginia Water Control
Board to outline the proposed
legislation last December. With
his was David Aud, the present
chairman, sanitary engineer for
the District Of Columbia.
Reception Good"
"We got a generally good re-
ception from the board" Mr..
Donovan said, although the
chairman-Speaker Moore
was not there at the time.
Following introduction of
the legislation here and pas
sage of a similar bill by the
Maryland House of Delegates,
Speaker Moore said he was
amenable to the bill, providing
it specified that nothing in it
would affect the Virginia Water
Control Board. I agreed to this
because it would not have. any
way.
The Speaker also specified
that the bill contain language
to the effect that Virginia is
opposed to hydro-electric dams
being erected on the Potomac
River with public funds"
