NE. Market
Faces Legal
Cruckdown

A District licensing official
today served notice that op-
orators of the Farmers Market
in Northeast Washington must
get rid of nearly a hundred
inadequate shed-type stalls or
face criminal prosecution.
c. T. Nottingham, superin-
tendent of licenses and permits,
set a deadline for December Is
at a meeting yesterday with
William N. Grimes, trustee for
the market property, bounded
by Fifth and Sixth, Penn and
Morse streets NE, and Market
operator j. o. Harrison, jr.
Mr.. Nottingham said today
that if the buildings, which he
described as "lean-tos," are
not removed he will seek war
rants charging Mr.. Grimes and
Mr.. Harrison with erecting
buildings without holding nee
eSSary District permits.
The licensing chief said the
charge is a criminal one and
carries a penalty of a $500 fine
or 80 days in jail or both.
I'VE have been negotiating
for a long, long time" Mr..
Nottingham said.

Readings dropped last month

What to Expect
But from the detected pat
tern. he warned, Washington
area residents can expect about
three or four notable periods
of smog a year. The air pollu-
ton can mostly be expected in
warmer weather, when there is
not much air movement, he
said. But a high smog content
also was registered last De-
cember, he said.
The District has the great
est smog problem in the Met
ropolitan Area, Mr.. Bell said
Based solely on the number
of WaShingtonians who have
complained to the PHS about
smarting eyes, Foggy Bottom
appears to be the area within
the District where smog con-
centrates first, he said.
Tied for a close second in
air pollution are Fairfax and
Beltsville. he said. Cheverly
has been recording the lowest

Mr.. Gasch, on the o tn e 7

that he was upset" when he
learned the nature of the con-
tracts she signed.
II was shocked when I was
told they had sold her $4,000
in dancing lessons in addition
to the $500 of lessons she had
already contracted for" the
former prosecutor said. He
added that this was the result
of "high-pressure" tactics.
Paul Connolly, attorney for
the studio, asked Mr.. Gasch
if he had ever been to the
Fred Astaire studio, and the
former prosecutor replied "I've
never been in that den of in
iquity."
He added that he had not
started an investigation of the
studios sales methods mainly
because his mother in-law was
involved and he did not feel
such an investigation would be
within the bounds of propriety
under such circumstances.

committees position was that
the subject needed further
study.
He indicated he believed
establishment of a park, alone,
might not be sufficient.
Some citizens present said
they believed rezoning of the
area north of K street would
provide a means for the area
between M and K street to re-
develop of its own accord.

Thanks to police adjust

yesterday eased.
Traffic officials have desig-
mated Fifteenth street NV, be-
tween I and Irving streets one
way northbound, and Seven
teenth street NV, between
Florida avenue and I street
one-way southbound.
Under the plan, in effect for
the first time yesterday, motor
lists would use the one-way
streets. leaving Sixteenth street
NV. to buses and trucks. Po-
lice said traffic on the new
one way streets was light yes
terday but drivers jammed Six
teenth street, causing a long
tieup, particularly between Bel
mont street and Florida avenue.
Police today unbalanced
Sixteenth street, making three
lanes southbound and permit
ting no left turns. The reverse
will be in effect in the evening
rush hour, although police
didn't feel there would be as
much restriction on left turns
as there is during the morning.
A D. C. Transit spokesman
said the switch from streetcars
to buses on the Mount Pleas
ant line is doing very we'll"
He said that additional units
are standing by "if we need

Major Dam Backed
By Wi|d|ife Service
Plan Is Called
Least Harmful
To Fishing
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Dec. 4.
"A representative of the Fish
and Wildlife Service last night
expressed an opinion that gave
support to hackers of a major
dam at River Bend.
W.D. Lawson, Fish and Wild
life Service supervisory biolo-
gist, said in reply to a question
that of the four alternative
plans being considered by the
Corps of Engineers for develop
ment of the Potomac River, he
believes the one which includes
River Bend impoundment is
least detrimental to fish and
wildlife."
This statement at a public
meeting here disclosed a diff
ference of opinion at this time
between representatives of the
Fish and Wildlife Service and
the National Park Service, both
agencies of the Interior Depart
ment, about the merits of
major dam at River Bend.
Park Service Partition
Thomas F. Giles, National
Park Service planner, had said
at a public meeting in Wash
lngton last week that the in
creasing needs for recreation
do not require a large reservoir
such as a River Bend dam
would produce, because Chesa-
peake Bay and the Potomac
River estuary already provide
ample big water" opportunities.
Both the National Park Sery-
ice and the Fish and Wildlife
Service have co-operated with
the Corps of Engineers in pre-
pairing the study on develop
ment of the Potomac River
system.
| Mr.. Lawson and Mr.. Giles
are representing their agencies
in helping to present the al
tentative plans at a series of
public meetings at various loca-
tions in the Potomac Basin.
They both emphasized that
their opinions are preliminary
and that neither their respec-
tive agencies nor the Depart
ment of Interior has taken a
final stand yet on any of the
plans to develop the Potomac.
Less Harm to Wildlife
Mr.. Lawson said the River
Bend dam plan would do less
harm to wildlife than the other
three proposals because it would
flood the smallest area of land.
! He added that another ad-
vantage of a River Bend i'm
poundment from the point of
view of his agency is that it
would flood an area part of
which would become urbanized
if it is not inundated.
Also, he said, the alternatives
to the River Bend plan would
result in construction of dams
on tributaries which now pro-
vide excellent fishing.
Approximately 100 persons
attended the briefing session
conducted by Col. Warren R.
johnson, District engineer, and
representatives of other Federal
agencies at the South Hagers-
town High School.
This meeting was the fifth
in series being co-ordinated
by the Citizens Council on a
Clean Potomac in an attempt
to keep residents of the Poto-
mac Basin informed on plans
for dam construction.
Three additional meetings are
scheduled in the present series:
One tonight in Chambersburg,
Pa; one tomorrow night in
Frederick, Md, and the final
one Thursday night in Front

HE NEVER SLEPT IN a
bed but on the floor, wrapped
in his cloak with a block OF
beechwood for a pillow. He
would arise at $3.50, light a
fire, spend a half hour in the

work.
This clambering about tree

There was the time he de-

He went to sleep with one
foot out of the hammock
and a vampire bat hanging
from a rafter of the hut. The
bat disdained gentle English
blood but went for an indig-
enous type. When his In
dian guide awoke and real
lied he was involuntarily
contributing to a blood bank,
his screams frightened every
one but the bat.
Then there was the time
the Squire decided to ride a
crocodile. Here is his
account:
Il jumped on his back,
turning half round as I
vaulted so that I gained my
seat in a right position. I
Immediately seized his fore
legs, and, by main force,
twisted them on his back
where they served me as a
bride.
HE began to plunge furi-
ously, and lashed the sand
with his long and powerful
tail. I was out of reach of
the strokes of it, by being
near his head.
HE continued to plunge
and strike and made my seat
very uncomfortable. 1t must
have been a fine sight for
an unoccupied spectator"
