Landowners along the Patuxent
River above Laurel have united
against the threatened loss of their
farms. and some of their homes,
because of plans to dam the river
to increase suburban Maryland's
water supply.
The threat stems from the pro-
posal of the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission to build
the dam across the river, two miles
west of Laurel, and to convert a
nv mile stretch of the Patuxent
between Laurel and Mink Hollow
near Ashton, into a lake. The
dam would be 1900 feet long and
lis feet high.
Although the lake would food
773 acres, the commission wants
to take an additional 1890 acres
on both sides Of the river in Mont
gomery. Prince Georges and How
ard Counties.
The opponents. who have
formed the Patuxent River Prop
erty Owners Association. claim.
however, that the project would
swallow up much more land than
is actually needed and would re-
suit in a mass exodus of those af-
fected.
A number of the homesteads in
the area have been in the same
families for three, four and five
generations. Some date back
almost to Revolutionary days.
Typical of these is a 15O-acre
farm at Ednor. about 9 miles
north of Silver Spring, owned by
Clifton c. Link. president Of the
Property Owners Association.
Mr.. Link said his farm has
been titled by his father, grand
father and great-grandfather in
turn. He said he stands to lose
all but % acres to the sanitary
commission.
Across the river in Howard
County is the 92-acre farm of
Paul Thompson. Mr.. Thompson
said he would be stripped of 56
acres and all his buildings, includ-
ing his house, three barns. three
henhouses and several hog pens.
Up the river about half a mile
is Elliott Baldwin's 20-acre farm.
Mr.. Baldwin, who works for the
Potomac Electric Power Co.,
bought the property 10 years ago
and remodeled the farmhouse.
He planned to subdivide the
land and sell lots to persons who,
like himself. wanted to get away
from the city.
His neighbor, Charles c. john
son, who owns 125 acres along
the river, also would lose his 100
year-old house.
Then, there is Raymond w.
Cotton, Washington patent attor-
ney. who faces the loss of 70 acres
of his 153-acre farm at Fulton, in
Howard County, about miles
northeast of Silver Spring.
Mr.. Cotton, who lives in Airing
ton. had plans for a new home
overlooking the river.
Defended by Engineer.
A strong defense of the COM
missions proposal came from
Chief Deputy Engineer Harry B.
Shaw.
"Our plans are not unusual" !"
he declared. I'VE followed the
same procedure when we built the
Brighton dam in 1943. In building
the Laurel dam, the commission
must protect the reservoir from

ton by preventing persons from

Of foreign affairs in Europe.
But before this essential public
debate on China policy can take
place, there are some things that
have to be cleared away.
First, it is possible for people,
including officials of the United
States Government, to oppose fur
ther aid to the Nationalist govern
ment Of China without being dis
loyal to the United States, or pro-
Communist.
Second, persons. including Off
cials, who opposed further aid to
the Nationalist Government-or
who advocated a reduction of that
aid, after the end of the war with
Japan, were not necessarily dis
loyal to the United States or pro-
Communist.
Third, citizens OF the United
States, including State Depart
ment officials engaged on Far
SeooSAA WOAh, o1C PlCoulllptlFSly
loyal and devoted to their coun-
try.
Fourth, persons who are engag-
ing in violent propaganda for
all-out aid to the Nationalist
Government in Formosa and to
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek,
do not have monopoly of oppo-
sition to communism. Some of
these people are undoubtedly sim
cere; but none of them is entitled
to assert his views by vilifcation
and personal abuse of others, or
by unfounded attacks on officials
of the United States Government,

In his major broadside on the
Senate floor on March 80, the
Senator, quite UNDERSTANDABLE
showed that he was getting a bad
case Of weak knees. In that
speech the worst charge that he
falsely made against me was that
was lone Of the top Communist
agents in this country" You will
note that I was merely one among
many; and that I was no longer
guilty of espionage. Indeed, he
suggested that maybe the best
way to describe me was as "bad
policy risk" and the poor fellow
ended up on page 4446 of the
Record by saying that II feal
in the case Of baltimore, I may
have perhaps placed too much
stress on the question of whether
or not he has been an espionage

and that he would repeat his
statements in an unprivilegeC
forum or would resign. But
think that ! would be the instru-
ment of great service to the
country if the Senator should re-

of his charges.
At the outset, however, I shoulc

Hin Unaided for 40 Hours

ditch by a COW. She lay there
for 40 hours with a broken hip be-
fore anyone came to her rescue.
Her husband dropped dead while
trying to assist her.
Mrs. Massie had gone into the
hilly pasture to bring in the COW.
The balky animal showed her in
to a ditch and her hip was broken
in the fall.
Her husband finally found her
and tried to help her to their
home. Unable to move her, he
started to the house for aid. but
suffered a heart attack and died
just 100 yards from where his
wife lay.
Mrs. Massie lay unaided in the
pasture for hours. Her calls for
help were unheard by a brother
in-law at work in a field just over
the hill.
Neighbors found her two days
after the accident. She said she
was rot hungry during the two
nights, but was in a frenzy of fear
at what had happened to her hus-
band.

The Worland Indians trounced
the Laurel ball club, 16 to 6, in
a Midland Empire League game
last Thursday at Worland. Ma
polotano, Worland's ace right
handler, was a bit wild, but effec-
tive, as he left ID Laurel base
runners on the sacks.
Jack Troseth, Worland's short
stop, hit a 385-foot home run with
two men on in the third, and then
added a triple and a single for
his evenings work. Harlow Davis
had two doubles and a single in
four trips to the plate, and with
Troseth he led the Indian attack.
Clarence Hoffman,, veteran of
the Laurel staff, started on the
mound for Laurel, but was put
ir the hole by two errors in the
first. Paul Stark relieved in the
seventh, doing a creditable job as
he cut the fireworks for Worland.
The Laurel team was handicapped
by the absence of George Wagner,
