Total


For the years 1945-1953 (f1sca.
year 1858 estimated). the tota
capital outlay amounted to $685..
$4,000. This is an average OF
ST, 7,647 900 a year. From a study
of the figures it appears that fol
the next several years, and posi-
bly, throughout the six-year period
of the proposed Public Works I'm
provement Program, there would
be available from the Genera
Fund, the Highway Fund, and the
Water Fund for the program
approximately $40 million an
nually, or about $120 million fol
the recommended program o1
1919, 9,152, 900. The additional funds
needed, therefore, amount to
the difference or approximately
$199, $4,000.
Asks Water Rate Increase
The report Of the subcommit-
Tee on Sewer, Water and AQue-
duct recommends that $685.
487,000 be devoted to water and
aqueduct. Tha 81st Congress
authorized a loan Of $23 million
to execute the proposed expan-
sion program and, as pointed
out in the finance study Of the
Water Division report, this
amount is not sufficient now
to cover the program. The sub
committee on Water and Aque-
duct recommends an overall
water rate increase Of Is per
cent, the rates being applicable
to both users and non-users,
assuming that the Federal Gov
ernment win pay its pro rata
share.
At the present time the Fed
eral Government is making a
payment to the District Govern
ment for water Of 81 million
annually, whereas they are
using $1,270.00O of water. The
Subcommittee further recon-
mends that If the Federal Gov
ernment will not increase its
payment for water consumption,
the water rate increase be 80
per cent instead Of Is per cent.
II either we're put into effect,
1t Is felt the additional revenues
obtained would make up the
difference between the amount
appropriated by Congress sew
eral years ago and that needed
now to complete the program.
The difference is about $40 mil
lion.
In the Subcommittee's report,
the question Is raised "How does
the District Of Columbia rate
compare with adjacent terri
tories and other cities?" The re-
port states that this question
cannot be answered fairly with
out considerable explanation be-

blighted areas in the down.
town Washington area and be-
lieves If 1t continues values will
dwindle and our Nations
Capital will suffer the same fate
as many other great cities which
failed to keep pace with growth.
It appears to us that the
Capital belongs to all our
citizens and that the RESPONSE
bility for preserving it and i'm
proving it must be shared by
the Congress on a fair and
equitable basis.
Washington is a National
shrine and a symbol Of the
worlds last hope Of freedom
and it should be preserved as
such.

Mohoney Succeeds Again
In Defyinq Organization

For the second primary election
in a row, Maryland voters have
indorsed George P. Mahoney's
tWo-fisted challenge of the States
Democratic organization. Only
this time, the 50-year-old Balti-
more paving contractor has won
the unit vote as we'll as the pop
ular vote majority, to snatch vic
tory from the organization and its
candidate, Mr.. Sasscer.
Two years ago. in the Demo-
cratic primary, Mr.. Mahoney re-
ceived a 17,OO0-vote plurality, but
lost the gubernatorial nomina-
ton to former Gov. Lane, who had
the majority of the all-important
unit votes. The party then
soothed Mr.. Mahoney momentar-
lily by appointing him national
committeeman.
A married man with two chill
dren, Mr. Mahoney attended paro-
chial and public schools and fin
ished his education with night
courses. He began what has be-
come profitable contracting busi-
ness with two surplus trucks he
purchased from the Army as a
young man. He now owns a 325-
acre farm at OWings Mills.
Mr.. Mahoney was appointed to
the State Racing Commission in
1910 by then Gov. O'Conor, now
and served as chairman
from 1914 to 1916. Former Gov.
Lane fired him in 1947.

On His General Philosophy

Richard E. Lankford, who beat
out seven opponents for the
Democratic nomination to the
House from Maryland's 5th dis
trict, served his political appren-
ticeship in his States House of
Delegates.
A lawyer who manages tobacco
and cattle farms on the side, Mr..
Lankford was appointed to the
House of Delegates in 1948 to fill
an unexpired term. He was sent
back by the voters in 1850.
He has been practicing law in
Annapolis since 1910, except for
World War II service as a naval
officer.
During the campaign Mr.. Lank-
ford avoided as much as possible
taking stands on issues. choosing
to base his appeal on his general
philosophy. His answers to ques-
tions at various forums, however,
indicate he strongly supports the
administrations foreign policy
and goes along with much of its
domestic program.
The 37-year-old candidate, a
native Of Wilmington, Del, took
his college undergraduate work at
the University of Virginia. But
he came to the university of his
adopted State to obtain a law
degree.

-Four ChoIIengers Beaten
BY BeoH in Senate Race

Four fellow-Republicans chal-
lenged old campaigner j. Glenn
Beall for the Maryland senatorial
nomination. But Representative
Beall, who has been elected to five
consecutive terms in the House,
had a relatively easy time of it.
Before voters of Maryland's 9th
congressional district sent him to
Congress, Mr.. Beall was member
and then chairman of the State
Roads Commission. He served in
the State Senate from 1880 to
1884.
A lifelong resident of Frost
burg, he is a grandson of one of
the men who founded the Repub-
lican Party in Maryland. Mr..
Beall has been Staunch Repub-
lican all his life-and he emerged
as one Of the State party's better
vote-getters when he entered Con-
gress by defeating Montgomery
County Democratic Leader E.
Brooke Lee.
Subsequent elections gave him
larger majorities each time. In
his last race, he polled the largest
majority ever given a congress
sional candidate from the 9th dis
trict.
During his congressional service
he was a member of the House
Public Works and District Com
mittees. He was instrumental in
obtaining the Dupont Circle
underpass in Washington and in
getting a bypass for Route 24O
leading out of Washington.
He was educated at the Frost
burg schools and is a graduate of

change in the method of issuing

One Of Mr.. Green's pet fight.
has been against Virginia's pol
tax. On two occasions he brought
suits to have the poll tax declared
invalid. Lower courts upheld the
poll tax. Mr.. Green refused tt
quit. He went to the Supreme
Court. but an appeal was denied
This prompted Mr.. Green to resign
as member Of the Supreme Court
bar.
In an early court battle, Mr.
Green led a fight to unseat the
late Senator Carter Glass or
grounds that he was inactive ir
the position.
Served AS Republican.
Mr.. Green served his IL years
in Office as a Republican. He
never experienced much difficulty
getting elected in the predomi-
nantly-Democratic Arlington until
last November. The official Re-
publican organization disowned
him, and made Colin c. MacPher-
son its candidate. Mr.. Green ran
as an independent Republican,
but Mr.. MACPHERSON won by a
small margin.
The campaign brought about
a minor disturbance that typified
Mr.. Green's imperturbable nature.
The County Board passed an
ordinance forbidding display Of
posters in the courthouse. Mr..
Green already had his up, and it
was pretty obvious the ordinance
was meant for him.
With calm defiance, he an
