Washington Harriman-for-Pr
ident enthusiasts today were hope
fully estimating the impact OF
their candidate on District resi-
dents, after his marathon speak
ing and handshaking tour of the
city.
If the result left something to
be desired, it wasn't for lack OF
trying. With the District primary
elections a week off, Mutual Sc
curity Administrator Averell Har-
riman was throwing a strong per-
sonal challenge at his rival, Sen
ator Kefauver.
For 10 solid hours he and his en-
tourage faced an ordeal of heat
hail and hokum, fitting about the
city in a couple of rented Cadil-
lacs. It was grass-roots politick-
ing on a scale rarely seen in Wash
ington-pressing hands. cajoline
infants and preaching the gos.
pei of liberal democracy.
Stands for New Deal.
In the course of the tour. Mr.
Hartman made three speeches
all quite similar in content. They
brought out clearly the basis fol
his candidacy:
"I am the only candidate who
has stood firmly and mequivo'
cally for the principles Of the
New Deal and the Fair Deal
the principles of Franklin Roose.
velt and Harry Truman :"
I'VE are winning the cold wal
against communism. There mus1
be no retreat. ..
"Of course, we must have COM
plete home rule here :. we must
put an end to segregation in al
its forms we must make this
a truly democratic capital. 1t. Tc
me it is unthinkable that the
Democratic Party should turn
back on the question Of civil
rights. =.
II have entered the primary
here in Washington to give the
people Of Washington the chance
to vote on these issues. The
name is not important. The
principles are. :"
Leaving for Southwest
Mr.. Hartman was scheduled te
leave for Arizona today. He will
speak there, in New Mexico and
lin Utah before returning to Wash
ngton on Sunday.
Mrs. Hartman and Miss Grace
Tully, former secretary to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and an ardent
Harrimon booster. will campaign
for Mr.. Hartman today.
They will be at U street head
quarters, 901ka U street NV.

Crowds dwindled. and Mr.. Harri-
man chatted with his wife and
Miss Tully.
Better Crowd Later.
When the group reached 3504
Connecticut avenue NV, things
picked up again. Mr.. Hartman
mounted a decorated soap box tC
deliver the speech for a crowd OF
some rs well-wiShers.
At 1869 Wisconsin avenue NV.
in Georgetown, the climax of the
tour was reached. About 100 peo-
pie had crowded into the small
garden in the rear Of the head
quarters to hear what the candi-
date had to say. They were urged
to go to work.
What happens here may have
Ia very real effect on those who
are going to make the decisions
in Chicago" Mr.. Hartman said
II ask you. in the common cause,
to take this thing to your friends
and bring the people to the polls
on the 17th."
In the course of the day Mr.
Hartman had come into contact
with probably fewer than 500
Washington residents. Some OBJ
servers would rate his perform
ance yesterday as something less
than a triumphal tour, but at
least the response he received was
good.
At any rate, it was a challenge
to Senator Kefauver, who has
come, with some reason. to con-
slider the District primary in the
bag.

CHICAGO, Aug. s. University
of Chicago scientists say they are
looking for water Of a known age
preferably at least 80 gallons
from S to 20 years old.
The water may help science in
unlocking some of the secrets of

The scientists are working on
an atomic calendar that will test
the age Of water with great accu-
racy. They can do this by meas
uring the amount Of tritium
present.
Tritium is the heavy radio
active form Of hydrogen which
scientists say will help trigger the
