Fort Stevens and EurIy's 1864 Raid

How many persons in Washing
ton have visited Fort Stevens, in
Brightwood, and viewed what still
remains of the earthworks thrown
UP by the Union forces to defend
the Nations Capital? Few would
attempt to argue that the Battle
Of Fort Stevens meant little in
settling the great question then
involved in the war between the
North and the South.
Had Gen. Jubal A. Early sue
ceeded. in capturing and burning
Washington in July. 1864, there
is surely no one who believes for
a minute that this. in itself, would
not either have changed entirely
the conclusion of the war, or at
least extended it for a consider
able time. In addition to saving
the Capital from destruction,
the Battle Of Fort Stevens
brought upon the scene the great
Civil War President, Abraham
Lincoln, whose anxiety upon that
occasion imperile6 even his own
life.
A Wartime Crisis
Fort Stevens proper, especially
that spot upon which Lincoln
stood, is now owned by the Gov
and is appropriately
marked with a boulder and a
tablet placed by the survivors Of
the 9Th Army Corps. That part
of the fort still remaining stands
in the rear of Emory M. e. Church.

grounds or by way Of the

Wallace had not the remotest
idea Of defeating Early. He was
sent merely to retard his prog
ress and hold him back until
Gen. Wright. with other parts
|of the 9Th Army Corps could
reach Washington. This Wallace
accomplished most satisfactorily,
and although he lost 1913 killed
and 603 wounded. he was able
to fall back with his army and
put himself in a position to pro-
tect Baltimore. Wallace is said
to have had at the Monocacy
$3.50 men, and the estimates of
Early's forces ran as high as &c.
900.
With Wallace out of the way,
Early lost no time in advancing
on Washington, for although he
did not leave the Monocacy be-
fore noon on July 10, that night

camped only four miles north of
Rockville. having marched nearly
20 miles that afternoon and eve

rived shortly after noon, greatly
fatigued from the dusty roads and

High Court Refuses Ruling
On VIRGINIA Strike Curb
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court yesterday
refused to rule on validity Of q
1947 Virginia law which restricted
strikes by employees Of public util-
tiles but which has since been
modified.
The ruling was asked by Local
333B, United Marine Division OF
the AFL International Longshore-
mems Association. The local ap-
|pealed after the Virginia Supreme
Court upheld a contempt judgment
against it for failure to obey an
injunction prohibiting a strike.
j. Lindsay Almond, jr.. Attorney
General of Virginia, in a brief
asked the high court to refuse the
union a hearing.
Mr.. Almond said the 1947 law
has been repealed and any Su-
|preme Court action now would
affect only the contempt sentences
given the local and two of its
officers. The Virginia Legislature
recently adopted a new law on
strikes against public utilities.
The new statute is a modification
of the earlier legislation.

Fairfax Supervisors
Continue Sewer Study
After Hearing Expert

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors is continuing to study
ways of providing sewer facilities
after hearing an experts opinion
on the problem.
H. E. Russell of the New York
law firm of Hawkins, Delafield &
Wood, which specializes in bond
transactions, conferred with the
supervisors yesterday. He said it
definitely appeared the county
could more easily solve its sewer
problem on a unified basis rather
than with a series of individual
programs for different areas.
The existing sewer facilities in
the county are operated under the
sanitary district plan for different
areas.
A committee appointed by the
Board of Supervisors has recon-
mended creation of a sanitary au.
thority which would function
much like public utility and deal
with the sewer situation on q
countrywide basis.
Mrs. Anne wilkins suggested
another way to unity the sewer
system. She thought it might be
possible to set up a county depart
ment of public works to operate
the sewers and finance construc-
ton with county-w revenue
bonds. Under the authority plan,
construction also would be
financed with revenue bonds.
Mr.. Russell said he thought
bonds would sell at about the same
interest rate under the authority
and the public works plan. He
said bonds under the sanitary dis
trict plan would sell for one
quarter to one-half Der cent
cheaper.

out where the money came from

Sheriff Powell said he had beer

that if he got into trouble for re.
fusing to name the donor, some.
thing would be done. So, aftel

to the television star and ex.

Of his obligations, told them thai
