Thursday when he pleaded guilty in

16 on the farm of the mayors father
on Dams Mountain, about two miles
east of the Allegany county town.
The trial was originally scheduled
for the week preceding, but Judge

when Evans changed plea Of guilty
to innocent.
Emanuel Gorfine, attorney for the
mayor after Oliver H. Bruce, Allie
gany trial magistrate and attorney,

ment last week and that his plea Of

Radcliffe Seeks A
Higher Priority Rating
For Savage River Dam
Completion Of Project Delayed
Because OF Lack OF Bids For
EXcavating Machinery

The completion of the Savage River
dam was further delayed when no bids
were received last Friday by the pro-
curement office Of the Works Progress
Administration, Baltimore, for the
rental of the necessary machinery to
eXcavate 100000 cubic yards of Garth
at the dam site. Bids for this machin-
cry are to be readvertised.
Meanwhile Senator George L. Rad
cliffe, of Maryland, announced from
Washington that he was seeking
higher priority rating as a war pro
ject for the $3,5OO,OOO dam in this
county Radcliffe said he had filed
an urgent plea with WPB chairman
Donald NJ. Nelson to raise the prior
ity rating to lat least Ale" He felt
that the dams low priority rating was
responsible for lack of bids.
The dam is about two-thirds COM
pleted, and Radcliffe said that it was
essential that the remaining work be
done this year, otherwise there could
be no assurance that adequate water
would be available for the doing of
war work.
Without the completion of this
dam, industrial plants, including those
that will produce defense equipment,
would not be able to operate during
the dry season for lack of water which
this dam will make available"
Senator Radcliffe explained that
work on completion of the dam would
have to be begun by May Is, if the
work was to be done this year, and
asked immediate and favorable con
sideration from the WPB Sand and
cement are the main ingredients to
be required, but some equipments
would be needed and the percentage of
steel involved would be quite small.

rd-Surface Road
Built by Germans in
Qatfara Depression
Nozis Believed Unlikely,
However, to Attempt to
Cut Across Sands
BY EDWARD KENNEDY,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
THE WESTERN DESERT. Egypt,
Aug. 80 Delayed The Germans
have built a hard-surface road
down into the Qattara Depression
and established themselves on the
north side of the salt sinks.
Qattara is the great sub-sea-level
gulch which up to nov has formed
the southern limit of the desert
battlefield bounded on the north
by the Mediterranean Sea. 1t had
been considered unlikely that the
enemy would try to cut across to the
Nile Valley through the difficult
inland desert and it's sand seas and
waterless stretches.
German Force Small.
There is still no indication that
the Germans plan such an under
taking. The force they have in the
depression is small and so far has
gone no farther than the acacia
groves along the cliffs which form
its northern wall. They are Dulld-
ing concrete fortifications there and
it is likely that the move is to pre-
vent British attack.
British armored forces are op-
Grating in the depression, but so fal
no important clash with the Ger
mans has been reported.

man road down the cliffside in 8
! curious manner. It was from photo
