McKeIdin Appeals to Senate
For Peace Cross Flood Aid

Gov. McKeldin of Maryland,
in a visit to the Senate yester-
day. appealed to Majority Leader
Knowland for aid in getting
through supplemental appro-
priation to relieve floods at the
Peace Cross in Bladensburg.
The Senate had approved
$500,000 of Federal money for
this project but it was knocked
out of the Army Civil Functions
Supply bill when Congress
adopted the conference report
now awaiting the signature of
the President.
Gov. McKeldin said that Sem
ator Knowland was mot too
hopeful" of action on the supple
mental proposal before the ap-
preaching recess of Congress.
Gov. McKeldin said he was not
giving up on that but announced
that he had directed the Mary
land State Road Commission to
begin work on a $600,000 project
to raise the level of U. S. Routes

at least vehicular transportation
can be raised above "the Bay Of

FORT MEADE, Md, July "a
The famed 82d Airborne Di-
vision showered paratroopers
into a 6,000-yard clover field
here today to dislodge a simu-
lated enemy that has already
captured Washington.
Actually, the hardy young
troopers of the 82d's 505th Reg
iment. a few of them veterans
of the D-Day drop into Nor
mandy, were getting in their re-
quired one-jump-a-month.
1t was to have been a realistic
demonstration for 1900 ROTC
students in training here
Wednesday but the drop had tc
be postponed because of bac
weather, and most of the train.
ees we're back in Meade class
rooms today.
The maneuver to dislodge the
simulated enemy forces began
yesterday afternoon when Flying

Election Of 3 Committeeman
Challenged in Alexandra Suit

Alexandria Democratic Club had
not won enough seats to insure
control of the committee nor to
elect its proposed slate of OFF,
GERS.
Indeed, in the I'd, 9Th and
9th wards it's candidates, run
ming second in each contest,
barely won over the third place
candidates, by margins of from
2 to 4 votes. Hence, the filing
of these suits in a last-ditch at
tempt to oust three duly elected
incumbent members of the COM
mittee in order to give control
to the members of the commit
tee who were sponsored by the
Alexandria Democratic Club.
"It is my sincere belief that
these sham suits will be treated
in court with the merit they de-
serve and will be thrown out.
The purported bases for these
suits, as set forth in the plead
ings, are not valid, in my opinion.
Mrs. Acton and I were elected
by majorities of 164 and 432, re-
spectively, over the vote received
by the. Democratic Club candi-
date in the 5th ward. Mrs. Bailey,
the winner in the 4th ward, won
an honest victory over Mr..
Hail..
Il do not believe the good
Democratic voters of Alexandria
will stand for this trifiing with
their votes by small, ambitious
group which seeks to impose it's
will on long time local members
of the Democratic Party"

FenWick Supporters
Start Movement 10
Put Him in Congress

A move to have State Senator
Charles R. Fenwick of Arlington
run for Congress in 1854 is under
way in the 10th district.
Last week Mr.. Fenwick lost
the race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor to
Thomas B. Stanley, former 5th
district Congressman. But Mr..
Fenwick'S supporters in Northern
Virginia point to his showing
in his home congressional dis
trict, where he piled up a 81
majority.
Ambition Was to Be Governor.
The 10th district includes Mr..
Fenwick's home county and
Alexandria, Falls Church and
Fairfax County. Representative
Broyhill, Republican, won the
seat last November.
Senator Fenwick did not seek
the new congressional seat, how
ever. It was an open secret that
his mainland perhaps only
ambition was to be Governor of
Virginia.
Reached at his farm last night
in Cumberland County, Mr.. Fen
wick had this to say:
"I appreciate the sentiments
that have been expressed, but
I am retired from politics at this
time"
Cites Favorable Response.
Ralph H. Boyle. jr., Mr.. Fen
wick's Alexandria campaign
manager, said he had written
some Of Mr.. Fenwick'S former
workers and asked their reaction
to running Mr.. Fenwick for Con-
gress.
He said the response was 100
per- cent favorable thus far.
He noted that Representative
Broyhill was gaining by leaps
and bounds among independent
voters" and said it would take
some one of Mr.. Fenwick's vote
getting power to beat Mr.. Broy-
hill.
Senator Fenwick beat Stan
ley by a 3-to-1 majority in the
10th District and now there is a
sort of mutual debt between the
voters and Mr.. Fenwick. We owe
it to him to put him in Congress
and he owes it to us to run"

Anqered Bees Turn freeze
Into Frenzy for Two Men

porch of 401 Ethan Allen avenue,
where c. w. Thompson lives. 1t
was one of four such calls re-
ceived by the squad yesterday.
During the summer, squad men
say, they get an average of one
or two calls a day to remove un-
wanted hives.
Mr.. Kendall was pouring car
bon dioxide from a fire extin-
guisher on the hive under the
porch caves when it crumbled
and the angry bees swarmed out.
The chemical is supposed to
freeze the insects so the hive
can be safely moved, but appar-
emily it hadn't penetrated deeply
enough to knock out the bees
toward the middle of the hive.

plans to advertise in about six
or eight weeks for bids on the
road raising project.
Gov. McKeldin said he had
promised to do all possible tc
get rid of the Peace Cross flood
waters.
"If decide to run for another
term as Maryland's Governor,
he told reporters, "how can ]
expect support if I do not pro-
ceed with the elevated roadway
plan?"
He said he knew there was
objection to elevating the road
way but contended that with
proper drains through the en-
bankment, the flooding of the
area should be no worse after II
is built than now during rain
storms.
He made the point that Mary
land has provided $4.2 million
for flood-control work along the
Anacostia River and that the
United States should make at
least a token appropriation
toward its share. Maryland has
stipulated that none of its $4.2
million for flood-relief work can
be spent until Congress appro-
PIRATES some construction money
for its share.

Two suits have been filed in
Alexandria Corporation Court
challenging the election of
Thomas Moncure, Mrs. Virginia
l.. Acton and Mrs. Margaret F.
Bailey to the Alexandria City
Democratic Committee.
The suits were filed yesterday
afternoon by Attorney William
Moore Kabler for groups of vot-
ers in the 4th and 5th wards.
Mr.. Moncure, chairman of the
committee, charged in a state
ment today that the liberal Alex
andria Democratic Club is behind
the suits.
One suit seeks to void the elec-
ton, July IA, of Mr.. Moncure
and Mrs. Acton to the commit
tee from the 5th ward. The
second seeks a recount of the vote
in the 4th ward, where Mrs.
Bailey defeated James E. Hall by
4 votes.
These suits represent an un-
abashed attempt by the Alex
andria Democratic Club to gain
control over the Alexandria City
Democratic Committee" Mr..
Moncure said.
Democratic voters on July IA
elected Is to the City Committee,
and they were about equally
split between the conservatives
and the liberals as represented by
the Alexandria Democratic Club.
Mr.. Moncure's statement con-
tinued:
when the results of the July
IA election became known, the
