yesterday that reservoirs must
be provided on the Potomac
River to head off a rapidly ap-
preaching water supply crisis. y
Gen. Clarke told the Inter-
state Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin that "a
tremendous task" lies ahead in
educating the people of the
Potomac Basin about water
problems.
Commenting that pollution is
a major factor in the overall
water problem, Gen. Clarke
said:
I'VE must all work together
to create throughout the area
a reservoir of understanding of
the problems of water pollution

eFvoirs and other works which

Gen. Clarke said that despite
the scheduled construction of

which the sewer was designed
to avoid may continue for some

else must have gone to him. I

IT don't want anybody to
start a civil war over this. If !
can be promoted. ok. If it can't
be done, I say forget it,"
What 1t. Wolf would like to
see is a promotion to captain
while assigned to the pawn
office. He said he'd like to make
captain before he retires in
August, 1862, so that his pen
sion would be at captains pay.
He has started his 42d year on
the force and must retire next
year when he reaches the COM
pulsory retirement age of "a.
Chief Murray said the Con-
gresham had not called him.
Asked specifically about 1t.
Wolf, he said II lieutenants
have made the civil service list
for captain since last March
and that no one on the list has
been promoted.
While a promotion while so
assigned" would not affect the
list, he said, it would adversely
affect department morale at
this time.

Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin raised considerable
speculation the other night
when he told a banquet hail
full of people honoring Police
Chief Robert v. Murray that
the chief last week resisted
great pressure to promote a
police officer not of his choos-
ing.
Where did the pressure come
from? Who was to be the bene-
ficiary?
Mr.. Mclaughlin declined TO
be specific. He said later that
he had made the statement be-
cause he wanted the people to
know that it takes great
courage to build and maintain
a good police department in the
face of such pressure.
He acknowledged under ques-
tioning that the pressure in the
same case had been directed at
him. But he said it was a lot
easier to resist the pressure
when the police chief felt so
strongly the same way about
it. Further than that he would
not go.
Before the banquet had
ended, however, it was all over
the hall that the Commissioner
was referring to 1t. Jacob
Wolf of the police pawn office.

Bill by Mochen
Sets Up Controls
Over Contractors
BY a star STAFF Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 1l-A bill
to control contractors in Mary
land has been drafted by Dele
gate Hervey Machen, Democrat
Of Prince Georges.
Mr.. Machen, who plans to
introduce the bill in the Cen
eral Assembly, said it is aimed
at "fly-by-night" construction
contractors.
The bill would require all
general contractors working on
jobs of $4,000 or more to be
licensed by a State board which
would be created.
The contractors would be re-
quired to undergo an eXamina-
ton to determine their quail
fications. Mr.. Machen said the
board, which would be ap-
pointed by the Governor, would
have the authority to revoke
licenses.
Mr.. Machen introduced a
similar bill two years ago, but
it was referred to the Legisla-
tive Council for recommended
ton. He said the council did
not act on it.
Another bill aimed at fraud
in the home repair business has
been introduced by the Prince
Georges legislative delegation.
This would permit the county
governing body to license and
regulate home repair firms.

Prince Georges Airs
Zoning ExtensionAgoi

Prince Georges County law
makers today were left with
basically the same arguments
that they received two years
ago on the question of extend
ing coming controls through
out the county.
Twenty-Five speakers at a
four-hour hearing in Upper
Marlboro last night said zoning
is necessary to head off hap
hazard development of the
southern, now rural, area.
On the other side. some IL
persons said zoning is prema-
ture and that landowners can
attend to their own affairs.
They added they wouldn't get
their moneys worth out of the
accompanying planning tax of
4 cents per $100 assessed valua-
ton that would be levied by the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.

also proposed to add several
areas to the park (metropoli-
tam district, which carries q

Herbert w. Wells, planning
commission chairman. said

is to be orderly growth for the
anticipated population in

farm would pay about So q
year for the planning tax.
This is the cheapest kind

trolled building that could
depreciate the property about

County Commissioner M

supports the proposal. He
added zoning would aid the
County's bond rating, thereby
giving taxpayers more for their
money.

ment.
