BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The new tax law establishes a rec- ord in major legislation. It shows what Congress can do when a definite ovbjective and date is fixed. While there was criticism from the minority, the measure satisfles an overwhelm- ing number of both Democrats and Republicans. Spurred on by a desire to give the taxpayer at least two weeks in which to make out his income tax return before the March 15 payment, the House of Representatives disposed of the tax bill after brief but fairly com- prehensive hearings in committee, and after the usual time for debate under the rules. The Senate had more time and consequently ironed out certain imperfection in the House bill. The Senate committee worked night and day and brought in a report in ample time for debate. Cloture was talked bout but not enforced. The pressure from outside the Senate was sufficlent. And then the conference committee tackled its job with the same under- standing of the necessity for expedi- tious action. Work Done by Treasury. 1t was a job quickly done, but not too hastily. The truth is the Treasury De tment had been working on the new tax proposal for many months be- fore Congress assembled.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., February 25. —First reports of a contemplated project to harness the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., which would supply Wash- ington and all communities in the Potomac Valley with low-priced elec- tric current, were borne out today when it was learned a large number of engineers.of the Potomac River Corporaticn of Cleveland, Ohio, is engaged in a preliminary survey of power-plant possibilities since ~No- vember 1. The study will be continued at least until the end of this year, according to James R. Gloyd, director in charge, who added that it has now progressed 1o a point where thought can be given to possible location of dams or gen- erating plants. The engineers, he ex- plained, were devoting thelr entire time to a general survey of the rivers and contiguous territory, soundin; and determinations of stream levels. Within 60 or 90 days, Mr. Gloyd said, the engineers undoubtedly would be able to make some recommendations. “We are not thinking about dam sites now, because we have not yet determined whether the character of the streams insure the economical power development,” said Mr. Gloyd “When we find that out then it will be time to consider the necessary machinery."” Beyond asserting his belief that by raising the present Potomac dam at Harpers Ferry two feet enough power could be developed to supply Wash ington nine months out of the year without auxillary energy. Mr. Gloyd would not indicate the possibilities of the water power as he now sees it He declined to state the scope of the generating plants, or whether the power project would extend beyond the raising of the existing dam. In the event of a large project, how- ever, he declared, the welfare of the Baltimore and Ohio Raflroad main line and several towns, including Shepherdstown and Antletam,” would have to be guarded.
