Science Association meeting at
the Mayflower Hotel that a
great flood Of litigation and
other activity has been started
by the U. S. Supreme Courts
decision Of last March in the
Tennessee reapportionment
case.
In this decision the court
held that courts may hear, and
act upon, complaints from ur-
ban and suburban residents
that they are being unconsti-
tutionally denied their share
of representation in State Leg
islatures.
"a States Affected
Since this decision, Mr.. David
and Mr.. Eisenberg said, law
suits have been filed in about
half the States and existing
State legislative apportion-
ments have been invalidated or
substantially so in at least IA
States.
"The process of litigation is
still spreading rapidly. 1t seems
entirely likely that litigation to
test the Federal constitutional
ity of existing arrangements
will be initiated in most Of the
States within the next few
months"
One Of the main questions
still to be determined by the
Supreme Court is whether ul-
timately both houses Of State
Legislatures must be appor-
toned generally in accordance
with population or whether
the population standard need
be applied to only one cham

plants would use far less land
than would be needed for res
ervoirs if a series of dams were
built.
Psychological Hurdle
Mr.. Davies said the major
disadvantage of the diStillation
plants would be the psychologi-
cal problem in persuading peo-
pie to drink even completely
purified sewage.
However, he said the resi-
dents of Chanute, Kans., did
resort to drinking purified sew
age a few years ago during a
water shortage. He added that
no i'll effects were suffered.
Mr.. Davies said that if a
pilot plant should prove sue
cessful, similar facilities could
be built in new subdivisions.
But he said that even if dis
tillation plants are built, con-
struction of some dams at the
headwaters of the Potomac
River system will be needed to
help control floods and provide
additional water supply during
times of drought.

Group Picked
On Reshuff|e
OF Job Hours

Federal and District officials
today appointed a committee tc
look into the possibility OF
changing government workers
hours to ease rush-hour traffic
peaks.
The committee was set ur
after a two-hour closed confer
ence by representatives of the
Federal Budget Bureau, the
General Services Administra-
tion, District Engineer Commits
Sioner Frederick j. Clarke and
the Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission.
Gen. Clarke said the commit
tee will compile information on
where employees work, what
times their jobs begin and end,
and what types of transporta-
ton they use. The aim will be
to modify some hours in hope
of relieving traffic jams.
Today'S meeting was called
by Delmer Ison, director of the
transit commission.
Mr.. Ison believes a reshuf-
fling of hours for both Federal
and private employees is the
most feasible approach to re-
lieving the areas traffic prob
lens.
He said he is optimistic that
something will be done because
the Budget Bureau-which has
the final say in changing Gov
ernment working hours - is
vitally interested in the project.
The committee will be made
up of representatives of the
organizations participating to-
day.

expressing strictly his own
personal views in his talk last
night.
Sees Cost Similar
He estimated that the cost of
setting up plants for elimination
of pollution through the de-
sailing techniques of boiling
and vaporizing or freezing the
sewage wastes would be approx
imately the same as that for
construction of a series of
major dams.
Once these plants were put in
operation, Mr.. Davis said,
sewage wastes would be so puri-
fled that they could be re
cycled" and used as a water
supply.
This reuse of water and the
elimination of need for large
quantities of additional water
to reduce pollution would make
the supply in the Potomac ade-
quate for the next so years, he
said.
Mr.. Davies said the Wash
ington area local governments,
assisted by grants from the
Federal Government, should
carefully explore the possibility
of building a pilot plant in
this area. He listed the follow
ing as advantages of using dis
tillation plants for treatment
of sewage:
Pollution would no longer be
poured into the estuary or
tidal section of the Potomac
AS a result, this portion of the
river could provide vast recrea-
tiopal possibilities and land
values along the Potomac would
soar.
A higher quality of drinking
water would be provided be-
cause of the effectiveness of
the publication process.
The threat of contamination
of the areas water supply by
enemy nuclear bombs would be
greatly reduced because dis
tillation would remove 99.9 per
cent of radioactive materials.

William E. Davies, a leading
member of a citizens grour
opposed to large dams on the
Potomac River, suggested last
night that a pilot plant be
constructed in the Washington
area to test the feasibility OF
using completely purified sew
age wastes as a water supply
Mr.. Davies said he favors

the pollution in the tidal Sec
ton of the Potomac in the
Washington area.
Pollution is still the rivers
No. l problem" Mr.. Davies said
in a talk at the Cosmos Club
to the National Capital Section
of the American Society OF
Civil Engineers.
Conventional sewage treat
ment methods used at the Dis
trict'S sewage treatment plant
at Blue Plains are only about
80 per cent effective.
Praises Aud
Mr.. Davies commended David
Auld, director of the Districts
Sanitary Engineering Depart
ment, and members of his
department for doing a mar
velouS job in cleaning up the
river through use of the Blue
Plains plant" but said the time
has come for adoption of new
methods.
He said that under plans be-
ing considered by the District
Corps of Engineers for con-
struction of dams on the Poto-
mac system, tWo-thirds of the
water stored for the Washing
ton area would be used for pol
luton reduction and only one
third for drinking and other
| purposes.
Cleaning up the Potomac
River, he said, would make con-
struction of major dams un-
necessary.
Mr.. Davies is a member o1
the Executive Committee of the
Co-ordinating Committee or

pollution in the river as a sub
stitute for construction of large

Parks Queries

The District Highway De-

tailed information in the next
few days to support a traffic
tie-in between the proposed
Three Sisters Islands bridge
and the George Washington
Memorial parkway.
This was reported today by
d. S. Brinkley, chief engineer
OF the Highway Department.
Mr. Brinkley was questioned
about the Districts plans after
correspondence released by the
office of Representative Broy-
hill, Republican of Virginia.
disclosed that the National
Park Service is insisting on
proof of the necessity for the
proposed parkway-bridge con-
nection.
II the National Park Service
does not permit a tie-in, the
District might have to settle
for a six-lane Potomac crossing
at Three Sisters Islands rather
than an eight-lane span, Dis
trict officials believe.
With no parkway traffic, the
Bureau of Public Roads prob
ably would rule that an eight
lane bridge is not justified,
according to city officials.
justification Asked
The Interior Department said
in a letter to Mr.. Broyhill last
week that before we can
evaluate the request by the
District of Columbia Depart
ment of Highways and Traffic
for parkway connections to the
proposed Three Sisters bridge,
we must have factual and de-
tailed information to justify
such connections.
The letter said that before
any park property is devoted
to a mountaineering highway
use, it is absolutely necessary
for us to have all the facts
proving that no alternative So
luton is possible before agreeing
to the use of park land for
highway purposes"
BrOyhill Backs Plan
Mr.. Broyhill had written to
Interior Secretary Udall that
while he hympathized with the
park services desire to keep
commuter traffic off the George
Washington Memorial parkway,
"the fact is that Congress al
ready has specifically provided
that this extension of the park
way is to be commuter artery.
ITO connect it with the new
Three Sisters Islands bridge
would facilitate its use for this
purpose; to refuse to permit
such a connection would make
more difficult its use for the
very purpose for which Con-
greSS authorized it's construc-
ton.
I'm a situation such as this,
compromises can and must be
made to permit maximum prog
ress toward both the goals Of
maintaining scenic beauty and
of easing traffic jams. The
park service can maintain the
scenic beauty and rustic at
fractions now surrounding the
parkway. and still permit its
rush-hour use by comuters."

On Auto Show
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Our automobile manufac-
turers are looking forward to
a good year.
Dealer inventories are low.
Demand is high.
This industry is important
to our national prosperity.
1t has been estimated that
one out of seven Americans
have a stake in the automo-
bile, employed in manufac-
ture, sales and service and
highway construction.
A good year-if there is no
steel strike.
Industry predictions from
Detroit suggest that it may
be next to the record year.
That was 1855 when $780,
600 cars and trucks rolled off
the assembly lines million
in the first six months.
Top that! It's a frightening
thought. What would we
do with 10 million more cars
and trucks on the highways?
AS it is the Public Roads
Administration estimates
that about 80 million cars
and trucks will be licensed by

UGF Names Co|omiris
Chairman of '62 Drive
BY BETTY MILES
Star staff Writer


William Calomiris, president
of the William Calomiris IN
vestment Corp, is the United
Givers Fund general campaign
chairman for 1862.
His appointment was an
nounced today by Mark Sulli-
van, jr., UGF president.
Mr.. CalomiriS' selection
marks the earliest date a UGF
general chairman has been
chosen in the six-year history
of the fund.
The new chairman led the
Major Firms Unit in the 1861
UGF campaign, bringing in
ST, ,270,519 or 103 per cent of
the unit quota.
He succeeds Donald S. Bit
finger as campaign chairman.
At a press conference today,
Mr.. Calomiris said that 1862
goal should be an attainable
one, but that it also should be
based on the needs of the agen-
cies supported by the UGF.
The 1861 goal was $7.8 mil
lion. Approximately 96 per
cent of this goal has been
reached, with $7,524,399.86 COL
lected.
Plans Personal Appeal
Mr.. Calomiris feels at least
$7.8 million can be raised in
this area next year.
He plans to contact person.
ally the firms with an unSatiS-
factory record of giving as one
of many efforts to bring next
years campaign to victory.
I'm going to go and talk
turkey to them" he said. He
asserted that in firms where
the UGF drive was not produc-
tive, top management had been
indifferent to the campaign.
I'm a salesman, and I've
been a salesman all my life" "
Mr.. Calomiris said. I'm look
ing forward to a victory cele-
bration."
Mr.. Calomiris noted that in
five years UGF has increased
its collection by 81 million.
He said that of the increase
of approximately $400. 900 raised
in 1861 over 1860, $500, 900
came from business and from
suburban areas. One important
step forward in business collec-
ton was progress made in hav-
ing more firms include UGF
contributions as a payroll de-
duction, he said.
Executives Respond
Mr.. Calomiris recalled that
as Major Firms Unit chairman
in last falls campaign he urged
executives to give a fair
share" of their salaries to UGF.
The response was heartening,
he said.
Mr.. Calomiris declared that
some persons giving $50 should
have been giving $700. Every
one looks for a way of measur-
ing his fair share of giving" !"
he said.
He suggested that executives
earning more than $500 a year
contribute between one and two
per cent of gross salary.
Mr.. CalomiriS, Al, was born
and raised in Washington. He
attended local schools and be-
came a licensed real estate
broker at the age of 81. After
World War II service with the
Marines, he added experience
in the construction industry to
his realty background.
In addition to being head of
the investment company, the
new UGF chairman is president
and director of Calomiris Con-
struction Corp, William Gallo
miris Enterprises, Inc, and
William Calomiris Properties,
