The Potomac River Commits
sion, which has for 20 years
been limited to water pollution
problems, may blossom into an
agency with a vital role in
multimillion dollar decisions
that will affect the future OF
the entire Potomac Basin.
This possibility arises be-
cause an interstate body will be
needed to help work out the
financing of the non-Federal
costs Of a series of dams on the
Potomac River system which
will be proposed by the Dis
trict Corps of Engineers.
The engineers have already
started informally to sound out
Government leaders in the four
basin States and the District to
determine what agency could
handle this job.
More Dams Studied
The engineers recently pro-
posed building a $50 million
dam west of Cumberland on the
North Branch Of the Potomac
River and they are expected to
recommend construction Of sew
eral more dams when their re-
port is completed by next June,
While the Federal Govern
ment will pay the portion OF
the costs Of these dams needed
for such purposes as recreation
and flood control, Federal law
requires that the States pay the
part Of the costs of consruc-
tion needed for water supply
and pollution reduction.
As result, of the $50 million
needed for the dam west of
Cumberland, the States and the
District will be asked to pay

FOR SAFETY

Check Up
AtSenecu

Two river going traffic
policemen will be on duty when
the waters Of the Potomac
start their seasonal churning
with the traffic of countless
small boats at Seneca, Md.
An unusually chilly spring
has cut down the weekend
trade at Seneca so far this
year, but the early season fish
ermen already are aware of the
patrol boats coverage of the
river.
Game wardens from the
Maryland Game and Inland
Fish Commission accomplish
the river phases of their am
phibious duty in a small. green
motor boat capable of 35 miles
per hour.
Their main objective is the
promotion OF water safety in

that a proper. Coast Guard

and also make sure that motor
craft have boat licenses where
their horsepower warrants it.
They also watch out for
water skiers again checking
safety precautions and making
sure that an observer over II
years old accompanies each
boat towing a skier.
Fishing licenses. also come
up for scrutiny.
Game Wardens Henry Hough
and Guy Garheart braved the
wind-whipped Potomac recently
for an early season check
and found the brisk weather
had kept away all but the
most avid fishermen.
Earl Grauck of Germantown
was one of the few on hand to
venture into a boat. He sought
information on the state of the
river as he produced his fish
ing license.

home to the committee when

been vacant Tor five years.
Admits Disappointment
Reached in her New York

she doesn't want to criticize
the committee. but admitted
she is disappointed" that
funds haven't been raised so
far to restore the house.
It was the first one her

of his famous marches were

lion in non-Federal costs.
Construction of this dam ano
other dams to be proposed can
not be started until the Fed
eral Government is assured
that the local beneficiarieS will
pay their part of the cost.
Therefore, formation of a
new interstate agency or ex-
panSion of the powers Of an
existing organization is essen
tial to coordinate agreement
on payments by the States.
Wait on States
The Potomac River Commits
sion is an interstate agency
which has been taking steps to
fill this role if the States want
it to do so.
The four member States are
Virginia. Maryland. West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania. A fifth
party is the District.
1t was set up primarily to
coordinate action in dealing
with the pollution problem in
the Potomac River system
which flows through all five
jurisdictions.
However, under amendments
to the interstate compact now
pending, the advisory juriSdlc-
ton of the commission would
be expanded to include other
water problems such as supply
flood control and recreation.
Chief architect of these
amendments was David v.

Sanitary Engineering Depart
ment and chairman Of the Po-

The Gross Was Heavy,

liam Green, truck driver for a
charity organization, picked up an
old radio from a donor last week
and when he and his helper were
carrying the cabinet to the truck,
both were amazed when a cabinet
door opened and a billfold, con-
tanning $1,000 fell out. They re-
turned the money to the woman
donor-and she gave them 81, each
for their honesty.
Then, enroute to the charity's

radio tubes-and $6,S40, in cash!
