Authora and artists of artistic Carmel are still willing to swim or batheiilh' the town water supply but they may refuse to pay for if. A strong movement was on foojt among the literati today to refuse to pay their monthly water, bills on the ground that theycan't drink the water. Carmel residents have been drinking bottled water since the mysterious epidemic of illness broke out a month ago. It was indicated that the matter may come before the city council at its meeting tonight. Also that a mass meeting would be held to or ganize a concerted "no pay" move- ment.

While no one would be quoted aa sponsorlng-or supporting the move ment, Herbert Heron, poet-mayor, admitted that he knew about it and that It "may come up at tonight's meeting." ADMITS NOTHING. James Hopper, author and fa mous war correspondent who created a furor during the investigation of the epidemic by his charges that certain distinguished citizens had gone swimming in the city reservoir, also was "sounded out." He would admit nothing, although he declared, "It's a shame to have to pay for water one can't drink even though I still bathe in it. It costs me from 75 cents to a dollar every time I have to buy drinking water, and that's several times each week." Perry Newberry, novelist, voiced a similar attitude but would not confirm or deny reports that he waa Involved in the "no pay" movement. Paul Whitman, artist and etcher, who confessed swimming In the reservoir and deriving much pleas tire therefrom, also declined to be drawn out on the movement, although admitting he knew about It. "I don't go swimming In the reservoir any more and still use the water to wash with" he said.

"I have' to buy other water to drink. Beyond that, I have nothing to say." MAYOR GETS AILMENT. Mayor Heron, it was revealed, haa just recovered from an illness the symptoms of which were de scribed as similar to those ot some 600 other stricken Carmelites. D. W.

Scripture, manager of the Monterey water works which serves Carmel, said that any attempt to escape payment of the regular water bills Will be met by shutting off the supply. "No pay. no' water." he said. "EVeit'ff they don't drink the water they Use lit for other things and will have to pay for It It they don't they'll have to buy water to bathe In and that comes high." Scripture pointed out that epidemic has not been traced to the water supply and declared that if residents want to drink the water they can. Richmond Police 'Start Search for Mrs.
