Water Plant
Dedication

Dedication of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary
Commissions new Potomac
River water filtration plant,
the first tap of the Potomac
for suburban Maryland use, was
set this week for 2 pm. on Sat.
urday, May 90.
The event will include unveil-
ing of a dedicatory plaque and
public tours of the huge water
supply facility.
Scheduled to go into opera
ton in the near future, the first
phase of the Potomac Plant,
plus more than 20 miles of
major supply lines, will cost an
estimated $12.2 million.
The plant will have an initial
filtered water production ca
pacity of 80 million gallons a
day; but the. facility will be ex-
banded, as needed, to an ulti-
mate capacity of at least 100
million gallons a day. The over
all cost of the WSSC's Potomac
River Water Supply Develop
ment is expected to reach the
$29 million mark by the time all
projected phases are completed.
Eventually, the Potomac Plant
will provide the major share of
total water production for the
Commissions suburban service
area in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties.
The Patuxent River Filtration
Plant, with a daily capacity of
65 million gallons, is currently
the WSSCs principal water sup
ply facility. This plant, plus the
Potomac project and 9th er
WSSC sources, will ultimately
combine to boost the Commits
sion's total daily production ca
pacity to the neutrality-suspicious.
mark.
About 100000 people now use
WSSC water. The long-range
Potomac River supply develop
ment was approved by the
Commission several years ago
to meet the requirements of a
service area population that
now is expected to total two
million by the turn of the CEN
fury.
Located on River Road, about
three miles above the Town of
Potomac the new Potomac Plant
is designed to fit well with the
neighboring rural acres. Archi-
tectural features include large
glass front areas, attractive
landscaping and native stone
finish on plant buildings.

The awards in the various
c tegories of instruments,
Boxer said, are consistent with
the "Arts Center's belief that
young musicians value most
the opportunity to perform in
public, since performance is a
very real way of assessing ones
ability and musicianship.
Therefore, the awards will
consist of a public performance

Symphony Orchestra, under
Chester Petranek, and a per-

Lesson of Hitler Held Still Before Us,
As Peace Depends on One Man

Shortly before taking office
as President Kennedy's new
Ambassador to the United
Nations, Adlai E. Stevenson
remarked that the chief task
Of the new administration in
international affairs was to
know the mind of Nikita
Khrushchev.
It is a sad commentary
on the precarious state of
the world that war or peace,
in effect, must depend on the
fallible mind Of one man.
All the decencies and aspira-
tions Of the peoples of the
world could amount to Moth
ing If. for example, Mr..
Khrushchev for reason
known only to himself we're
to decide suddenly that nu-
clear war was the best way
in which to achieve what
ever it is he seeks to achieve.
The lesson Of Adolf Hitler
is still before us. Certainly
Nikita KhruShchav is fully
as capable, and as powerful,
as the Nazi megalomaniac
whose single distorted mind
plunged the world into the
maelstrom of World War II.
Today's world can only hope
that the mind Of Mr.. Khru-
shchev is not afflicted with
fantasy.
But regardless of the state
Of one mans mind, the fact
remains that the United
States and the free world
will have to depend on ne

Wage Bill: Political Expediency

we're comparing the outcome
to the situation Of President
Hoover early in his term
when a rampant Republican
conservative, log-rolling ma
jority presented him the high
tariff classic, the Hawley-
Smoot bill. Progressive Re
publicans publicly begged Mr..
Hoover not to sign 1t but then
as now. the major leaders Of
the Congress were involved in
the bill and pressuring 1t to
passage and his signature.
Even those less pessimiStic
about the importance OF the
minimum wage bill to Presi-
dent Kennedy concede that
the present Congress bears a
rather considerable resem-
blance to the one which had
so adverse an effect on the
Hoover administration.
Certainly, the kind Of trad
ing which has gone on, il
extended to all the Kennedy
program, would doom it to
faint praise. Nor is it a true
conservative victory as the
principle Of Federal control
is accepted but its fruits then
denied to those who were
promised them.
The Democratic Party can
not escape the blame for this
one. It's leaders led the fight
for the many exemptions

elusive Senate House con-
ference.

swallow many brave and

the minimum wage bill in
its present form amounts to

Nixon is busy defending, and

Eisenhower could not do the

be done best by someone Of
the Senate opposition. And
since there was no such
catalyst, the President had
to do what was necessary.
There Is a very real and
present danger. 1t is more
grave and far-reaching than
that Of 1899 and Of December
1941, when our Pacific fleet
was sunk or beached and
burning at Pearl Harbor. Yet,
in 1889 the issues were much
more clearly in focus. The
enemy was wholly visible. 1t
was Hitler and all he stood
for. He held most Of Europe;
Great Britain was threatened.
Today, the enemy is not
so plainly seen. 1t is, as the
President has said, a con-

sion which takes many
forms. It involves not merely
Russia, but the on-coming

pany itself would be scruti-
nizing the expenses involved
in order to determine the
exact amount to pay to cover

likely that the employe would
be more careful than ever
before to avoid unnecessary
expenses or what has often
been called padding" The
formula will overcome many
other difficulties-aS, for in

is hired and must incur NOV
ing expenses from one city
to another. Extra pay would
be the answer here, too.
Since the Treasury might
collect a vast sum that it
is not getting now, it ought
to encourage the plan. For
the law and the regulations
are clear-an employe may
be given extra compensation
for merit, and the test of
whether it was a good thing
to send him to a trade
association meeting or a
convention is whether he has
made acquaintance or built
friendships that can result
in increasing sales. And
that is something that an
employer has the right to
determine for himself. For,
judging by the reports pub

Commission giving the sal

rations. there seems to be
no limit to what a company
can pay an employe it con-

Knowing the Mind of Khrushchev

of Communist aggression is.
first, the creation of a crisis
in which Communist force is
either presently active, as In
Laos, or implied, as in Berlin.
The crisis is then whipped,
agitated, exacerbated and ir-
ritated until it becomes a
major threat to world peace.
Immediately there is a cry
for negotiations to settle the
issues peaceably." The Mos
cow propaganda machine
picks up the Western hue
and-cry. and indorses these
peace lovers" who are urging
their "warmongering" poll
ticians to seek a peaceful So
luton.
Sooner or later, the pres
sures begin to tell. There are
tentative approaches to a
parley, and the initial Soviet
response is invariably a quail
flied, conditional acceptance.
The machinery grindS on
until a date and a place are
set for negotiations. BY the
time they are ready to begin,
the Soviet position has been
so we'll consolidated that
about all the West can do is
to accept the fait accompli,
and hope that the Commu-
nists do not press their ad-
vantage too hard.
Moscow negotiates on its
own terms, whether the issue
be Laos or Berlin or disarma-
ment or a nuclear test ban.
The Kremlin is always ready
to sign an agreement for
peaceful solution of any crisis,
so long as the settlement is
made on Moscow's terms.
These are the challenging
realities of the modern world.

understanding of what they
are. To do otherwise is to

Possible Solution for Major Tax Loss

man and an additional bonus
for services rendered. Going
to conventions is one way to
make friends and help get
orders. Many a sales repre-
sentative works long hours
at conventions. If he were
in the classification Of en-
ployes comparable to that Of
a trade union, he would be
getting time-and-a-half for
overtime beyond eight hours
a day and beyond a five-day
week. Often conventions re-
quire travel on week ends,
but the salesman isn't COM
pensated for this.
So the companies really
are getting a break today
since they don't have to pay
their travelling statesmen time
and-a-half overtime. Hence,
many companies probably
will be willing to give the
salesman a travel bonus when
he has to go to a convention
and remain there for several
days and wants to take his
wife along.
Now all this will be feast
BILE for the employer when
the employe has an income
of around $4,000 to $4,000
because the amount Of the
taxes involved for a speci1
trip is relatively small. 1t
will not be practical where
high-Salaried executives are
involved. The taxes to be
paid in those cases would be
too high, and the amount
needed to cover an expense
account of $4,000 might have
to be doubled in order to pay
the executives extra income
taxes. But in most Of these
cases the executive himself
probably is we'll able to pay
special expenses out Of his
regular income. For, after all,
his own expenses in going to
and from a convention would
still be an expense account
item and subject to deduc-
tion by him or by the COM
pany.
The bulk Of the expense
