The durable suds produced by newly developed detergents have bubbled up in sewer and water systems and offi cials in many towns and cities don't know how to get rid of them. The follow ing dispetch, based on ma terial gathered by United Press International report ers throughout the country, reports on 1962's suds dilemma.) The detergent industry has , selves lo find an acceptable pleriRe efforts to find a soft, detergent, most women seem or low sudscr, detergent, but it promises no "magic over night solutions." Water Infiltrated Currently the biggest prob lem is confronting residents of Nassau and Suffolk coun- to prefer to have heaps and heaps of suds.

BRENNAN United Press International Residents of Brynmawr, Pa., were startled in 1 048 when a soapy foam began oozing from sewers and man holes. In the early 1950s, many communities along the Ohio river drew yellow colored wa ter with a pungent, soapy taste from their faucets. About five years ago, the North Babylon, N.Y. -Hll'li - Mrs. Raymond Joyce of 14 Eastwood Drive slacked the breakfast dishes next to her sink one morning re cently, turned on the water and waited for the suds to build up. She then did the dishes. It happens every day. Mrs. Joyce used only half the suggested a m o u n ! of washing soap. Most of the suds came from the faucet. She got the bonus suds from "helpful" water. "It bubbles. It really does," the Long Island housewife explained. "You only have to use half ihe soap suds." Although she saves on cleaning agents - using her bubbly water to clean dish es, ihe laundry and six chil dren - Mrs. Joyce finds her water a real problem: "We just can't drink out of our tap. Now I have two big 10-g a 1 1 o n cans that I have to take to my mother's homo (10 milos away) to get drinking wator." modern detergents, which seep from cesspools and infil trate the region's ground wa ter supply. About 200 Long Island home owners taking part in a test were to use only a three-month supply of a new detergent, a low sudscr, re ceived from various cooper ating soap companies. The test, conducted by a New York state commission, was I devised in an attempt to dc- j termine whether the new syn- I dct will disinlegrale in the 1 ground and thus hal the pol- j lution. j Although the soap compn- i nies are experimenting them- I "Women are just too darned clean," he said. "If one capful will do the job, they'll put in two capfuls just to make sure." Cooperating with soap man ufacturers, the Continental Oil Co. research center at Ponca City, Okla., has a con tinuing study on evaluation of microbiological limits on the discharge of detergents into surface water, streams and rivers. Among them are Maryland and Massachusetts. Many cities, such as Den vr, Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis, Detroit, Spokane, Atlanta and Chicago have little or no pollution problem from detergents. A similar situation prevails in many states, including Wash ington, North Carolina, Utah, Maine, Idaho, Texas, Califor nia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and Massachusetts. Seven states Ohio, Illi nois, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York signed a treaty in 1948 establishing the Ohio River Valley Sani tation commission to elimi nate pollution. A report fi nally is being prepared on a for Sewer, Water System Problems study of the area. One observation in the re port was that laboratory studies showed that as much as 75 per cent of the ABS can ne degraded in river water over a period of roughly 30 days. In Wells At Crand Island. Neb., Com missioner of Utilities Frank Phelps said the local problem came from deter gents in sewage plant waste, which flowed to a stream that went underground and then was pumped to the sur- iface by irrigation wells. At Phoenix, ArU., sand and gravel operators complained that detergent-soaked aggre gate "makes lousy cement." Suburban residents of Min-neapolis-St. Paul have com plained of tasting soap in their well waters. But the health department, said the finding "of detergents in drinking water is not in it self a hazard" although it "does show that sewer seep age is getting into the drink ing water supply and this could be a hazard." I San Francisco, now com-1 for some sewage officials. paratively free from the suds problem, found itself with a foaming problem at a sew age plant in Gold Gate park in 1B47. A water spray de vice solved the problem. "Froth buildup" has been an occasional bother in Chi cago. An overflow eight feet deep at an aeration plant once inundated a road, blocking traffic. Fire hoses finally cut through the froth. Silver Lining Detergents have also bub bled up with a silver lining A. E. Suleski, director and chief engineer of sewer divi sion of the Boston metropoli tan district commission, said he has had no trouble with detergents. "If anything," he said, "detergents help clean out the sewer lines." William Gahr, chief engi neer for the Colorado depart ment of public health, point ed out truism about deter gents they're clean. "There are many other things in water other than H-2-0," he said, "and at least you know when suds are In water because they can be seen which is not true of many other things in water." Clarence W. Klassen, lilt, nois chief sanitary engineer, agreed. "There are lots of sins that are attributed to detergents when they are only part ot the picture," he said. No quick remedies are in sight. But water officials gen erally feel the detergent prob lem, like that of auto ex haust fumes, will be solved eventually. Trujillo Family Said Faring Well By NORMAN RUNNIOM Washington Wll What does a dictator's family do when Its cozey litlle world of endless police power, graft and nepotism suddenly turns into a democracy? The Trujillo clan, lale of Ihe Dominican Republic, is fairing prolty well, according to information reaching here. Some of ils members are actively plotting to refiain power.

Edited bv by Mr.. Alms Denny (Copytlfht by General Fe.turei Corp.) 1 Helen T. - She s trying to spoil our happiness. Dora O.-I'm trying to pro tect my poor brother. Helen T.-I'm a woman of 45, who's been married 20 years. Although Herbert and I are childless, we have a completely happy and peace ful home. Perhaps it is her envy of this which is now prompting his sister to try to make trouble for me. My husband is a baker who works nights. Naturally I try to plan my time to coincide with his free time at home. So I have friends over in the evening to keep me company and, after they leave, I do household chores. But sud denly my sister-in-law has planted the idea in Herbert's head that I entertain a man behind his back. My husband knows this is nonsense, but he questioned me anyway as to what could put such talk into Dora's mouth. I know. She's disappointed in her own marriage. Her children haven't turned out well. So she'd like us to be miserable, too. Dora O.-I don't live near Helen, but I used to and I speak to a few of her neigh bors each week. How does she explain the funny coin cidence of a white roadster which pulls up in front of her home every night, short ly after Herbert leaves for work? And it's gone when Herbert returns. My brother is a shy, quiet peace-loving man. He works hard and he trusts everybody. That's how Helen has been able to walk all over him these years. He never refuses her anything, never questions her. Where she's concerned, he's the original Nebblsh, like in those cartoons. Naturally he can't know what goes on at home In his absence. I felt he should at least be alerted so as not to let himself be made a fool ot completely. I don't care if they're both mad at me. Some one had to open Herbert's eyes. The Council! Well, the Gar den of Eden had ils serpent, and Helen and Herbert have Dora. Herbert can't really be the Ncbbish his sister depicts. He's maintained a pleasant home for himself and Helen for 20 years. And now he's smart enough to stand staunchly alongside his wife in declaring Dora's dark hints nonsense, and In trying to figure out why his sister should be trying to stir up some excitement. The case of the white car Is flimsy indeed. No sensible person would mouth an ac cusation on that evidence, es pecially second hand reports by neighbors. Anyone who's objective can list all sorts of possible explanations about the car, and each might easily be checked. It can belong to one of Helen's lady friends, or lo a visiting couple. It can belong to a neighbor who parks il there temporarily be cause his own driveway is occupied. It can even belong to a mischievous neighbor who wants to get Dora's eye brows up. It's good Dora is a blood relative. Otherwise, if she con tinues to hurl Insinuations without checking facts, she'd be in line for a lawsult-the charge, malicious slander She must remember thai, in our society, a woman-even a sister-in-law-is presumed inno cent unless proven guilty And, if Dora felt her easy going brother was being cuckolded, two easy recourses were at her disposal. One was to drop in herself some eve ning, while the white car was there, or to have directed a neighbor to call on Helen under some pretext. The other was to inquire of the police department as to what nm the license number of the car was registered under. Would not her face be red if the own er should be revealed as rieien s seamstress? No, Dora, on the face of your cnarges we find them Indicative of your own mud- aieci ininKing. Anyone seri ously engaged in hanky- Hoiiny woman i park in front anyway. A few blockc away would be safer. And would he risk the unexpected return of a husband who forgot some thing? As a private eye, you're finished. But as a sister, apologize, be forgiven and open a new Investigation - inward. into a monstrosity of nnwpr and graft. Through it Eva badgered millions of pesos out of Argentine businessmen. She set up an automatic checkoff system which took a percentage of all workers' salaries. The money was used to buy stores and warehouses to distribute food and cloth ing. Thousands received help -new homes, new clothes, loans to start a business. But the graft and corruption with which the foundation was ad ministered is legendary. Then Eva tried to grab one brass ring too far out of reach. She wanted to be vice president of the nation on a Peron ticket. In 1951, she organized a great rally. Thousands upon thousands of Argentinians were transported from tl.? provinces to Buenos Aires on free trains. They shouted and demonstrated for Eva's nonv Ination. But she never made it be cause of the opposition of the military. On September 28, 1951, a group of military re volted against Peron. They probably would have succeed. ed but noncommissioned offi cers at Campo De Mayo sabo taged me tanks wh ch had been prepared to roll on Buenos Aires. Peron emerged unscathed from the revolt but he had learned a lesson. He drooped Eva from the ticket and re placed her with Rear Admiral Alberto Teisaire. Years Take Toll Eva remained stronelv planted in the labor move ment, but the candle was flickering. Her years of driv ing and unyielding work had taken their toll. She fell 111 with what first was diagnosed as anemia. But Eva was dying oi cancer. She appeared in public for the last time at the opening of Congress May first, 1952, riding in an open car beside Peron. Eva died on July 26, 1952. It rained steadily for 10 days. And for 10 days lines of peoi pie 15 blocks long stood night and day to pass by Eva's bier. Her body was ' embalmed and lay In state in a glass covered casket In the Con federation General De Tra bajo. A new motto was offi cially promoted: "Evita for eternity In the souls of her people." (Evita E'erna En EI De Su Pueblo). On Sept. 18, 1955, Peron was run out of Argentina. Evlta's body was spirited out of the Confederation building by a small group of revolu tionary navy officers. Her new burial place has never been disclosed. But good authority has it that Evita's body was buried in the landing field on Martin Gar cia Island, a Navy base facing me Uruguay coast in tht River Plate Estuary.
