ON THE MORNING OF
Friday, May 81, John @.
Parke, a civil engineer at the
dam, noted the lake was ris-
ing so fast that it would
pour over the top of the
dam in the afternoon. He
knew that erosion would
cause a washout. The dam
was not built to Withstand
overflow. There were outlets
at the bottom for such a
contingency but they could
not be opened.
He mounted a horse and
galloped most of the five
miles to a railroad station
where the South Fork en-
tered the Conemaugh.
He telegraphed a warning
to the towns strung out be-
low along the Pennsylvania
Railroad track, which paral-
lels the river into Johns
town. His warning was so
strong that he thought it
would cause i'm m e dia tie
evacuation.
At noon citizens Of Johns
town were standing in front
of the telegraph office.
Parke's warning telegram
was pasted on the window.
There was some discussion Of
how serious the situation was.
Few did anything about it.
The dam broke at 3
o'clock. A wall OF water
estimated at 80 to so feet
high came roaring down the
valley, raising a cloud Of dust
and tossing telegraph poles,
trees and houses in the air.
A train loaded with gravel
speeded down the grade
ahead, its whistle screaming
as If in fright. The wall of
water caught it, picked up
the cars and locomotive, and
dumped them farther down
the valley.

The

Big News Story
By GEORGE KENNEDY

A reader, knowing this
writer's interest in big news
stories, has sent him q for
gotten work.
It is 1.-THE History Of the
Jolnstown Flood" by willis
Fletcher Johnson, one of the
first newspapermen to get
there.
Johnstown is on the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies
about so miles this side of
Pittsburgh. 1t is in the VAL
ley of the Conemaugh River,
a typical mountain stream
flowing over its banks in
the spring, almost dry in the
summer - which flows into
the Kiskiminitas, which
flows into the Allegheny.
Before the Civil War, a
dam was built on a small
stream called the South
Fork, which enters the Cone
maugh above Johnstown.
This formed an artificial
lake to feed the canal which
crossed the State from the
Delaware to the Ohio.
In 1849 the Pennsylvania
Railroad bought the canal,
let it 60 dry and leased the
redundant lake to a sports
mans club for fishing. They
repaired the dam and raised
it to a height Of 100 feet.
Built Of masonry and earth
5 fill, It was subStantial-35
feet wide at the bottom. The
top served as a road across
the little valley.
The rain at the end Of
May caused high water on
both sides Of the mountains.
TIL e Susquehanna flooded
Williamsport, Pa, breaking
a boom and sending millions
of feet of lumber - still in
unsawed logs - down the
river. The Potomac flooded

Should Be Neutral

Mr.. Floyd said: II fear the
Human Relations Commission
is getting across the impress
sion that it represents Mont
gomery County and this is not
the case. The demonstration is
outside the limits Of the coun-
ty, and Montgomery County
should be entirely neutral -
neither for or against It,"
Mr.. Floyd said it had come
to his attention that the COM
mission Endorsed the August %
march at its meeting last
night. In which it also voted
unanimously to offer strong OPP
position to a proposed regula-
ton in the county which would
require a permit for q parade
or other demonstrations.
DR.. Thomas M. Wilson, the
council member who originally
presented the parade permit
ordinance. agreed that "the
County Council should neither
approve nor disapprove the
August % gathering because it
is none Of our business-offi-
cially we should have no
opinion"

'Free-Lance'
Home Repair
Rules Aired
Hearing Debates
Bonding, Limits
On Contracts

ACB uAuOAOAAo SONCAAnAlS AlOlllC
improvement businesses in the
District were aired today in a
public hearing before a COM
mittee appointed by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The amendments, If adopted,
would permit the licensing of
"free-lance statesmen" not en-
ployed by any one particular
home Improvement contractor.
The key points in the amend
ments apply to bonding and
rules governing the rumber
of contracts the free-lance
statesmen could negotiate at any
one time.
The proposed amendments
would require a free-lance
salesman to take out a bond of
$4,000 to do business in the
District.
Such statesmen would be pro-
hibited from negotiating more
than one contract for substan-
TALLY the same work to be per-
formed at approximately the
same time.
PrOvisO for Return
II a contract which has been
negotiated by a free lance
salesman Is not accepted by
the contractor whose name ap-
pears on the form, the original
and all copies of the contract
would have to be returned to
the homeowner before the ne
gotiation of another contract.
Among those speaking at the
hearing was Marvin A. Scott
a contract salesman who said
he objected to being required
to work for only one contrac-
tor because it would create a
hardship on the customer.
BY being limited to dealing
with one contractor, he said,
the salesman would be limited
in what he could offer in the
way OF product and cost
Complicated Contract
He also objected to the
$4,000 bond as being too high
and said $1,000 would be
ample.
John H. Haas, executive
vice president of the General
Improvement Contractors AS
ISOLATION, opposed the amend
ment because he felt q free
lance salesman could not ham
idle complicated work involved
lin . contract for home i'm
lprovement.
| Walter w. stoebpelwerth.
president Of the RemodeIine
Contractors Association, said
he favors licensing and bond
ing Of free-lance statesmen and
opposes anything that would
allow such statesmen to ESCAPE
responsibility.
He suggested that the bond
OF a free-lance salesman not
be terminated until the home
owner has approved work he
has contracted.
Blames Contractors
Paul Manuel, a home inn
provement salesman in his
own company, said the prob
lem Of any wrongdoing is not
created by statesmen but by
contractors.
| he said z common practice
is for a contractor to peddle q
contract which has been re-
fused a loan to another loan
institution and then jack up
the cost to the homeowner.
/ Julian Green, assistant SUI
lperintendent Of the Depart
ment Of Licenses and Inspec-
| tons, said the amendments
were drawn up as the best
means of controlling free-lance
statesmen. He said that the
bond could be reduced to
$1,000.
Robert F. Kneipp, represent
ing the commissioners, said
interested persons can submit
written views on the proposed
amendments up to next Tues
: day, after which the commits
sioners will consider the
amendments for passage.

Protests Expected
Several citizens groups, which
already have announced their
opposition to further highway
building because Of the housing
situation for low-income and
minority families. are expected
to appear at the hearing to
protest.

is expected to cost $70.9 million

ALL Chiefs Refuse
To Indorse March
Honds-Off Policy
Is Fought by z
In Labor Group

The AFL-CIO Executive
Council refused today to indorse
the August % civil rights
march, a move that had been
predicted by the only Negro
member of the council.
In refusing the. Endorsement,
the council said its affiliated
unions and anyone else in the
labor movement who want to
participate have every right to
do so.
A. Philip Randolph, the only
Negro member of the council
and president of the Brother
hood Of Sleeping Car Porters,
predicted earlier today that the
council would refuse the IN
dorsement. Mr.. Randolph is
chief promoter of the WASH
ington march.
A Hands-Off Policy
The union head gave his
views in an interview with the
Associated Press at Unity
House, Pa, where the council
met.
George Meany, AFL-Uo
president, said after a closed
three-hour session of the coun-
Gil that there we're indications
on the part Of 10 of the 20
council members present that
they felt the statement ,ex-
pressing the councils view
point was satisfactory.
Mr.. Meany said two others
Walter Reuther, president Of
the United Auto Workers, and
Mr.. Randolph-did not think
the statement was strong
enough. Mr.. Meany described
the councils stand on the
march as a hands-off policy.
In this area, John A. Floyd,
president Of the Montgomery
County Council, today criti-
cized sharply the County's
Human Relations Commission
for "overstepping" its grounds
in officially approving the civil
rights march.

To Offer Resolution

The council took no official
action on the comments by
Mr.. Floyd, DR.. Wilson and other
council members.
The Human Relations Com-
mission decided at its meeting
last night to appear at a public
hearing at 8 pm. tomorrow to
oppose the parade regulation.
The motion against the pa
rade proposal was introduced
by Commission Member Rich
ard M. Cooperman. who will
present the resolution at to-
morrow's meeting in the
County Office Building.
Mr.. Cooperman said that the
county already has regulations
requiring permits for various
types Of public gatherings.
The commission at the same
time went on record as indors-
ing 1.-THE announced detectives

March Costs Rising

On the national level, sky
rocketing costs and the prob
lem Of getting the more than
100, 900 marchers to Washing
ton on schedule are worrying
march leaders.
Even with most Of the march,
ers paying their own way. the
national organizations backing
the march figured weeks ago
that they would need q budget
Of $4,000. Those organizations
now are sure this was an I'M
derestimate, according to the
Associated Press.
There have been rumors Of
black market prices by charter
bus lines, Of companies refusing
to transport Negroes from the
South into desegregated WASH
ington and Of rail lines refus-
ing to put on extra rolling stock
west Of Pittsburgh, especially
on the day before a scheduled
Nationwide rail strike, accord
ing TO the North American
Newspaper Alliance.
Maryland Rights leaders
predict that 10000 persons will
come from that State, and have
invited Gov. Tawes TO Join the
march. The Brooklyn. N. Y.
chapter Of the Congress Of
Racial Equality announced that
20 Of its members actually
would march on foot to WASH
ington for the demonstration.
In New York City, Mayor
Robert w. Wagner promised
the day off to city employees
who want 70 take part in the
march.

HiuheE Education MOI
Attracting
Nations Youth

Nearly one-third Of the youth
in this country never finish high
school. Almost another one-third
stop their education right after
high school.
These figures aren't very en-
cOuraging, and DR.. William E.
Mcdaniel, Director of Resident
Instruction of the School of Ag-
riculture at the University Of
Delaware; says they're even less
encouraging in rural areas.
Mcdaniel says the demand for
trained people is increasing at
a rapid rate. Demand for Pro
fessional and technical workers
in the United States will be 40
percent greater by 1870 than 1t
was in 1860, according to es-
Inmates by a Presidential fact
finding group in a study on vo-
cattonal education.
"a college education opens the
door to many challenging agricul-
tural jobs in the plant and animal
sciences, agricultural engineer
ing, business, food processing
and distribution and hosts Of
other posttions," Mcdaniel en-
phasized.
