Probe SOUGHT
On Fish Kills
In Potomac

A recommendation that ma
chinery be set up to investigate
and report on fish kills and
other unusual occurrences in the
Potomac River was submitted
today to the Regional Sanitary
Advisory Board.
The recommendation was at
tached to a report on fish kills
in the Washington Metropoli-
tan waters of the Potomac and
Anacostia Rivers during Sep
TENDER. About $1,000 pounds
of fish died in the AnacoStia
River alone that month.
The report. prepared by a
committee headed by A. H.
PaeSsler, executive secretary Of
the Virginia Water Control
Board, blames a large fish kill
in the Potomac around Sep
TENDER 10 on a sudden growth
of a species of algae caused by
nutrients from treated sewage
and accompanying favorable
weather and stream conditions.
The kill in the Anacostia
River appears to have been
caused by the discharge OF
greater usual volumes Of
raw sewage. This discharge was
necessitated by construction OF
the Anacostia freeway, ex-
planned David v. Aud, the Dis
trict's sanitary engineering di-
rector.

quartet brought back memories
of the old days to the members
seated at the candlelit tables.
All the members of the club
are natives of Washington.
Some of the members have
passed on. Others now live in
cities scattered across the
country.
In the early days Of the club,
the boys fielded every thing
but a basketball team. They
used to hold dances, print their
own tickets and give the money
to charitable organizations.
Today, after the monthly meet
ings, they sit around and play

says a Negro is prevented from
living in any area designated
as open space.
"If we recommend, for in

that a Negro cannot live there.

Government Criticized
He also charged that the
Federal Government, through
the Federal Housing Admin

for guaranteeing loans and
mortgages, is substituting dis
elimination.
He urged his audience &C

nance in Montgomery County

To q casual bystander looking
in on a meeting Of the Young
Friends Club at Indian Springs
Country Club yesterday, the OBJ
vious question was why do they
preface the title with "young?"
There wasn't a man in the
room who could claim to be
much under so.
The answer, it turned out, is
simple. When the club was
formed so years ago in South
west washington by two H.
year-old boys, they and five
other boys who Joined a week
later were indeed young.
For the past so years, the
Young Friends Club, now COM
prising some 80 active members
has been meeting regularly. AT
first they met once a week in q
clubroom at 4 Half street S.W.,
then the home of the Lions
Club.
AS the years passed and the
boys became young men and
then full Pledged participants in
community life, the meetings
gradually dwindled to one Q
month. They're still going on.
Yesterdays m e e ting, with
wives included, marked the

The Eighty-seventh Congress
Is leaving some unfinished bust
ness on Capitol Hill.
Not all of it is legislation left
in limbo. Some is still being
carried forward. hidden behind
q fence.
It is the excavation under
the southwest corner Of the
Capitol where the new west
subway terminal will be located.
The terminal and the subway
to the Rayburn House Office
Building are a $6.6 million job
under way for almost a year
now.
At one spot in the digging
it is possible to stand under
a horizontal steel beam that
holds up a corner of the House
Barber Shop IS feet above it.
And under the beam are three
concrete and steel pilings ex-
tending downward for 81 feet.
About 20 feet away is a cavity
which will be filled with three
new elevators to carry Con-
gressmen from the terminal up
to the House chambers.
The excavation looks like a
mine under the Capitol. A
labyrinth of pits, trenches, shall
low tunnels and dripping walls,
its dusty air is filled with the
sounds of welding, shoveling,
concrete pouring and mud
slushing.
Concrete under air pressure
flows through a winding steel
pipe into hooks and crannies
where it eventually will harden
around steel to hold up the
Capitol.

Representative Br wster,

He said he has asked the
Secretary of the Air Force tc
reconsider the move because "te
transfer these people in this
manner may end their civil

The majority of the en-
ployes whose jobs are scheduled
to be shifted to Texas begin

oppose the move. They said
they don't want to relocate in
Texas because Of problems they
fear they would face on ae-

the Negroes they need not fear
racial discrimination. He said
San Antonio, in some racial

District Court Judge George

Walker began to choke her. The
woman had been talking or

were heard by a party on the

POSTMASTER General
Day, mysteriouSly, wrote a
letter to Congress in which
he said, in effect, that tie
slabs would have no adj
verse effect upon the opera
ton of the postal service"
Eventually, Congress, ex-
aiming the design decided
to direct the Commission to
60 back and have another
try at finding something bet
ter than the slabs.
Heads were still relatively
clear when Congress saw to
it that the Commission was
authorized $25, to go back
and keep going.
Last week, Senator Hum
phrey amended the last of
the great appropriations bills
by adding the $4,000. All
was set. The commission,
with its one-paid employe,
a woman, could get back its
telephone-shut off because
the money had run Out-and
start out on the long hunt
for another design, maybe
some smaller slabs.
In the scramble of big
deals in the last days, Con-
gress forgot about the $685.

with the last of the great

Rambler
Lest
We Forget
By JOHN McKELwAY

The Rambler, with remark
able restraint, refused to cry
out and tell them what they
were not doing.
But he did weep uncon-
trollably, the tears falling
from the gallery and splash
ing on the floor of the House
where the 87th Congress was
painfully twisting and turn
ing and trying to sine die.
They simply had forgotten.
All was lost now.
Charles Halleck, unaware,
stumbled through an emo
tional speech about his
friend, Speaker Mccormack.
The Speaker, oblivious, as
well as pale and gaunt, re-
sponded properly and at 4:45
pm. last Saturday they all
went home. The Senate had
quit an hour before.
Even over there, where
they can do things like that
which should have been
done. no one had done any
thing. Senator Kerr in his
soft blue shirt made no move.
And they say he is very
powerful.
Senator Morse could, 1t
seems, have said something.
But he was strangely quiet
as he delicately Unanswered

The Majority Leader, Sem
ator Mansfield, might have
slipped it in somewhere. Per-
haps he was tired. He yawned
repeatedly.
Senator Humphrey, the
Majority Whip, the man who
knew what was happening
a few days before, was miss
ing.
1t most certainly was not
beneath Senator Randolph.
He was there. But all he did
was make a small speech

ton. He didn't like the term,

TODAY, in the cold morn
ing light, they may realize
they busted the Franklin
Delano Roosevelt Memorial
Commission.
Few commissions, even
memorial commissions, have
been treated so harshly.
1t was set up in 1859, by
Congress. 1t was told to come
up with a design for a me-
mortal to the late President.
It staged a long and tedious
competition among arehi-
tectS for a design. There were
STA entries.
In the end, those eight
cement slabs were chosen.
OF the slabs, the jury which
selected them said:
1.-THE monumental quality
of the project comes from
the simplicity with which
this idea is transmitted. Al
though the basic form is so
elemental as to be virtually
the outgrowth of tradition,
the vast concrete tablets en-
phasize the in terv ening
spaces as positive entities,
thereby providing a total
image which is firmly iden-
titled with the goth century"
But, unfortunately, people
began pushing the slabs over,
one by one. The Fine Arts
Commission said they lacked
"repose." The Department
of the Interior said it agreed
with the Fine Arts Commits
sion. The National Capital
Planning Commission said it
was not required by law to
take a position on the slabs
and therefor has no posi-
ton -"

Glacier Wheat RanChers Get
Increase In Durum AI|otments

To increase production of dur
UNI wheat, now in short supply,
certain producers in Glacier
county will be able to increase
for durum production their 1862
wheat allotments, according to
Kyle Momberg, chairman of the
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation County committee.
Producers who increase their
durum acreage in line with pro-
gram provisions will be eligible
for price support, and they will
not be subject to marketing quo
Ia penalties if they remain with
in their increased allotments, the
hartman declared. However,
such producers will not be eli
gible for payments under the
1862 wheat sterilization program.
The special program for durum
wheat was authorized by legisla-
ton enacted last year so that spe-
cific steps could be taken to help
assure more ample supplies for
the future. The program is linn
tied to counties that are capable
of producing durum and that
have produced il for commercial
food products during one or more
of the years 1957-6l, inclusive.
