Members of Congress who have been fmpressed by the warnings of the Corps of Engineers of the Army ani other government engincers that ‘Washington is confronted by the d ger of a complete breakdown of waterworks system will make 2 fort in both the Senate and Honse week to_secure an initial approp tion of $200.000 with which to stirt work on an additional conduit from Great Falls, as recommended to Cox gress by Secretary of W Baker. There are several ways in which emergency legislation of this char- acter may be put through in the clo; ing days of the session, and indici- tions today pointed strongly to the possibility of all of them being em- ployed. if necessary. Representative Frederick N. Zihl- man of Maryland, who recently intr duced a resolution to pre- vent the waste of w requiring federal departments to pay for all water used by them. saw both Sen: tor Wadsworth, chairman of the mili- tary affairs_committee, and sentative Good. chairman House appropriations committe urday relative to obta cons tion by these committees of Secre- tary Baker's recommend Mr. Good said it had not heen de- termined whether another defic cy bill would be reported from the House 1 appropriations committee. but that in the event such a bill was framed the - Maryland member would he given an! opportunity to appear befors the com- mittee and urge the incérporation in the bill of an item for initiating the| Tyler water supply project. It was stated that Representative R. Walton | Moore of Virginia would join with Mr. ¢ himan in pressing for favorable ac- \ tion by the committee in the event a hearing is granted Appropriation in Army Bill That an appropriation designed to put the capital bevond the danger of j a water famine might properly be carried in_the Army bill, which is b mittee, was suggested by Representa- i tive Zihlman ‘to Senator Wadsworth, * who promised to obtain a copy of the recommendation sent to Congress by Secretary Baker. Mr. Zihlman wiil . confer with Senator Wadsworth again } this week and urge him to bring the seriousness of the District's supply situation to the attention of his committee. Advocates of immediate action on the Baker recommendation hope to get an } item for an initial appropriation in- serted in some appropriate bill now in ccmmittee, which would bring it to the attention of the Senate or House in regular order. Should they fail in this effort_the matter undoubtedly will be brought up in the form of an amend- ! ment to a bill, which is a less desirable ! procedure, for the reason that the pro- | posed legislation could be struck out on a point of order should any member | | be opposed to it. i Until Saturday there was thought to be little likelihood of action by Con- gress at this session on the Tyler plan. The view was held generally today, Eowever, that the communication sent to Congress by Secretary Baker, fol- | lowing a conference which the cabinet member had with Gen. Beach, chief of engineers of the Army. gave the wa- ter supply situation such a serious aspect that Congress could not afford j to delay consideration of the matter even until the extra session in April.
