District Needs So Million Less
For Water System Budget in Sd

The District water system will
require 81 million less in 1854
than its estimated needs during
the current fiscal year.
The combined budget estimates
of the District Water Division and
the Washington Aqueduct total
sos million for 1854. The de-
crease reflects capital improve
ments made or authorized with
1858 appropriations, and which
will not recur.
An unspecified portion of the
budget would be derived from the
Federal Treasury under the long
range borrowing program au-
thorized by Congress in 1850.
To continue the water system
expansion program facilitated by
the borrowing power, Washington
Aqueduct lists the construction of
the first half Of a new reservoir
at Fort Reno as top priority
81 .563 900 is sought for the pur-
pose. The project is described as
of prime Importance" because,
located at this high elevation, the
reservoir would not only give
normal supply to all areas of high
elevation, but would give emer-
gency supply to lower lands.
Half Of Funds Asked.
In the interests of economy,
water officials ask only enough
funds to build half the proposed
40 million gallon reservoir. A
breakdown of the estimated cost
shows $1.3 million for actual con-
struction, $4,000 for equipment
and $4,000 for plans.
Project No. 2 calls for $2.5 mil
lion to carry on the construction
of a pumping station and dam at
Little Falls and a water tunnel
from that point to feed raw water
into Delecarlia Reservoir. The
Aqueduct people figure that con-
struction work should begin by
next July. SIS million has already
been appropriated. Officials state,
moreover, that with the requested
1854 money. Congress should au-
thorize contracts totaling $1.9 mil
lion for fiscal 1855.

totaling $27O,00O. would take care

Text of 7rumon Talk Cumberland Asang Tactics in MARYLAND

planned and deliberate use Of
lies. ISLANDERS, and fear. A little
group of people are using these
weapons, on a wide scale, in an
attempt to attain public Office.
They want to make it danger
Gus for any one to express opin-
ions different from theirs. They
try to destroy the reputation of
a man in public or private life
who dareS to stand up and OPP
pose them. These methods en-
danger our freedom and our
personal lives as citizens.
You've had a good example
right here in your own state
of how these political gangsters
operate.
In 1850. they tried out their
methods in your State.
Today, these same methods
have been adopted by one o1
our major political parties as
its basic campaign strategy.
Let us look at what happened
here in Maryland two years ago.
Some carpetbag politicians, who
had nothing but contempt for
our Democratic traditions, came
into the State.
They were led by elements
from the political underworld,
including an unscrupulous and
power-hungry Chicago news
paper publisher. They had
plenty of money from the spe-
cial interest lobbies.
They violated your State law,
their deliberate purpose was to
pervert your free election by
the sheer weight Of money and
false propaganda. Their tools
were Misrepresentation, defama-
ton and outright fakery.

of good people in Maryland were
shocked and indignant when
they learned the full story Of
that campaign. You convicted

The decision that the Ameri-
can people have to make when
they 60 to the polls IL days
from now may be the most i'm
portant decision they will make
in their lifetime.
Think carefully about that.
The future of your children and
of future generations depends
on your making a decision that
will preserve for them the free
doms and liberties that we our
selves inherited.
Don't you entrust our Bill Of
Rights to the hack street" cam
paigners, or to the party that
welcomes and solicits that sort
of support.
The Republican Party should
be so thoroughly repudiated that
the un-American tactics they
are using this year will never
again reappear in an election
in these free United States of
ours
The way to do that is to roll
up an overwhelming majority
for the Democratic ticket. Vote
for men and women with the
character and the courage to
stand up for your basic liber-
ties.
Gov. Stevenson has had q
great deal Of experience in
civilian government. He under
stands that our Government is
not a military organization, but
a cooperative effort of free
men.
Adlai Stevenson is a man you
can trust with the future of
America. In this election CAM
pagn. he has shown his un-
swerving adherence to principle
and his deep devotion to our
form of Government. We need

House, it's up to you to put him

"The other was the despicable
back street type of campaign,
which usually. If exposed in
time, backfires. The back
street campaigns undermine
and destroy the public faith
and confidence in the basic
American loyalty of a we'll
known figure"
This was the Senate commit
tee talking about the Repub-
lican campaign in Maryland
in 1850.
The investigating committee
of five Senators, including two
Republicans. also said that this
"back street" campaign involved
publicity efforts aimed at dam
aging the reputation and at
creating and exploiting doubts
about the loyalty to his country
of an opposing candidate"
They said the Republican cam
paign "disregarded simple de-
cency and common honesty"
They added this:
"Such campaign methods and
tactics are destroying our. sys-
tenn of free elections and under
mine the very foundations Of
our Government"
Now. my friends, that is a
bipartisan statement describing
what was done in the State
in 1850.
The national leadership Of the
Republican Party never repudi-
ated what was done in that cam
paign. On the contrary, they
adopted it for use on a national
scale this year.
But with a difference. This
year the back street campaign
Is being put on in the front street.

the ringleader in the back street
campaign in Maryland in 1850,

He reiterated his interest in the
proposal for Congress to estab-
lish a single transit system for
the Metropolitan area. He urged
such a plan at the last session of
Congress, but it was among the
measures that died without action.
Mr. Campbell also said he would
work for legislative amendments
that would enable Northern Vir-
ginia to receive larger benefits for
emergency school aid.

Tactics Are Being Used
By More Eminent Men

His special tactics of the big
lie and the big doubt are also
being used by other, more emf
nent men.
In speech after speech the Re-
publican candidate for President
has been using fancy version
Of the big doubt" technique the
Republicans used here in Mary
land in 1850. And the Republi-
can candidate for Vice President
the second highest Office in the
lands engaged in nothing less
than false campaign of per-
sonal SANDER and innuendo
against the honored and re-
spected public servant who heads
the Democratic ticket.
That's how desperate the Re-
publican Party is and that's
how unprincipled it's leadership
has become from taking it's own
poison.
Now, I hope and I believe that
you people here in Maryland
and the people everywhere in
the country-will see what this
Republican campaign is, before
the election this year, and not
afterwards, when it would be
too late.
We are moving into the clos
ing days of the campaign. I
don't know what sort of COM
posite pictures or other frauds
they're going to try to put off
on you this year. But I am sure
they will try something of the
sort. because the same kind Of
people are helping to run the
Republican campaign this year
that ran the back street"
campaign in MARYLAND in 1850.

mans address at his stop in
Cumberland yesterday:
I am very glad to be here to-
day. l am glad to have this
opportunity to say some things
which 1 think will be of special
interest to the people of Mary
land.
The Free State of Maryland
belongs in the Democratic col
umn in this election and it's up
to you folks to put it there.
The Democratic candidate for
President this year is one of the
best qualified men ever nomin-
ated by either party for that
Office. I hope that all of you
are planning to vote. and to get
your friends to vote, for Adlai
Stevenson.
When you vote for Gov. Ste
venson for President you ought
to vote to give him a Congress
that will support him and work
with him. The way to do that
is to send George Mahoney to
the United States Senate and
Mrs. Stella Werner to the House
of Representatives.
You can be sure that they will
work for your interest and well
fare and not for the special
privilege groups that control the
Republican Party.
Maryland has a great tradi-
ton of tolerance and of freedom
freedom Of religion. freedom
of conscience, freedom of

next Friday.
Controller General Lindsay

delivery unless United States

toward the total cost of $40 mil
lion.
The United States is scheduled
to start its maiden voyage to
Europe July 3 with a full load of

livered next Friday" Gen. John

that the ship will be delivered"
The officials said Secretary of

Administrator E. L. Cochrane dis
agreed with the controller gen.
eral. Mr.. Sawyer and Admiral
Cochrane feel that they can't hold
up delivery because the contract
for the Government to pay AZ

that could hold up delivery now

blaming Gen. Matthew B. Ridg-
way for germ warfare in Korea
and the United States for reviv-
ing Naziism in Germany were
streWn throughout Rome today.
Gen. Ridgway is due here Mon
day on his first visit to Italy as
new Atlantic pact commander.
The handbills were signed only
by private sponsors. The Italian
government said the big Commu-
mist Party here probably would
try to hide behind the Moscow
born "Partisans of Peace" in anti
Ridgway disorders.
Fifty thousand troops and car
abinieri were maSsed in and
around Rome to back up the gov
ernment's warning that it would
tolerate no disturbances. Public
meetings were banned.
One handbill showed a huge
insect devouring a woman, and
said: plaques of typhoid and
cholera - the new Americ a n
weapon"
Gen. Bacteria isn't wanted in
Rome" the handbill said. Get
out, general who permitted the
use of infectious germs against
the Korean population"
Another handbill showed an
American hand manipulating a
German soldier puppet with a
SWastika marked helmet.
1t said Gen. Ridgway and his
country "are rearming Germany
and reviving Naziism."
