Mr.. Battle told reporters he

Ito purge" him in 1851 are Out
to get him again.
Mr. McCue said he has drawn
the opposition of Mr.. Battle anc
his friends because he voted
against the school plan Of the

ties for school construction.
Mr.. Smiths campaign is being

that Mr. Smith or any other citi-
zen had . perfect right to oppose
him.

Election Dates
Change Sought
BY PAUL HOPE

The lack Of public interest in
Alexandria's State Senate and
House Of Delegates Democratic
primary races has produced at
least one result-a move to get
municipal elections set on the
same day as elections for State
offices.
Alexandria, for the first time,
will elect its own State senator
but so far the race has been
marked by a lack of differences
between the candidates and gen.
eral disinterest among the voters
The same situation is true in the
House of Delegates race.
In the Senate contest are Ar
instead L. Boothe, now a men,
Der of the House, and Cullen B
Jones, jr.. an attorney. Two at
torneys,. Edward D. Gasson and
James NJ. Thomson, are seeking
the post being vacated by Mr.
Boothe.
Mr.. Boothe and other city Of
ficials said there would be more
interest If city and State elec-
tions were held on the same day
Thomas Moncure, chairman OF
the city Democratic Committee
said a combined primary would
increase the vote (which has
been pitifully small in the past
compared to the number oi
qualified voters"
Albert v. Bryan. jr., chairman
of the city electoral board. ha.
asked the City Council to study
the possibility Of changing the
election for council posts anc
other city Offices to the same
date as for State offices.
Mr.. Bryan said the change moi
only would produce more interest
among the voters but woule
mean a considerable saving t.
the city.
Alexandria now holds It's city
primary in April and genera
election In June, and the primar,
for State Offices in July anc
general election in November
Mr.. Bryan said each Of these
elections costs more than $4,000
Nearly half the cost would bt
saved through combining tn,
four, he said.
Mr.. Boothe said the provision
for separate city elections wal
included among constitutions
revisions made in 1902.
Unfortunately State election
laws have been directed in the
past at keeping the vote down,
Mr.. Boothe said. He said, Il
elected. he plans to introduce 9
measure to set in motion a con.
stitutional amendment to com.
bine the elections.
A change also would have Il
be made in the city charter anC
the term Of Office on council
probably would have to b,
changed. Alexandria council
men now are elected to three.
year terms while other city Off
cials and most State officials ar,
elected for fout years.

BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Booming over the Great Falls
chattering through the many
rapids below. the Potomac River
courses the short distance tc
tidewater at Washington amid
spectacular cliffs and deep forest
This stretch Of water. so close tc
the city, is as romantically wild
as when the white man first
entered it.
1t is unspoiled because it Il
inaccessible. The only way to
see it is to shoot the rapids in q
canoe. Last week Walter Oates, q
photographer of The Star, and
were taken down the stream in
two canoes, each manned by two
expert paddlers.
The river in its changing
moods goes through deep gorges
and then relaxes in wide lakes
James w. Johnstone, associate
professor of physiology at the
Georgetown University School
|of Medicine and q white water
canoe enthusiast, arranged the
"trip. DR.. Johnstone is member
|of the Sycamore Island Club,
one of the Oldest canoe clubs in
the country, on an island be-
tween Glen Echo and the Dis
|trict line.
Arrangements For Trip
DR.. Johnstone obtained the
services Of Andy Thomas, an
Iofflcial of the American Canoe
Association and one of its best
whitewater men, as stern
Ipaddler on the other canoe. Mr.
Thomas is a photographer at
the Navy's David Taylor Model
Basin at nearby Carderock.
Oscar McCollum, a civilian
employe of the Defense Depart
ment, was the bow paddler in
the first canoe in which was
to be supercargo. Sidney Hess
a biochemist at the National In
stitutes Of Health. was brought
along as bow paddler for Mr.
Thomas canoe.
We launched the canoes in the
river and went down the Great
Falls gorge, a magnificent sight
from the surface Of the river
and through a rapids which
turned out to be minor.
At the rapids near the mouth

See Wild Potomac Beauty

of Difficult Run we took the
short cut to the left of the island
instead of the longer and sportier
run. This one proved to be
sporty enough.
/ Too Close to Rapids
/ After resting at a rock. we
showed off too close to the rapids.
For a moment I thought we were
going over them broadside. But
oscar and Jim, using short
power strokes. managed to turn
the canoe and head upstream
despite the swift current.
We turned and started down.
I mo matter what happens, +"
oscar shouted, "stay in the
middle of the boat"
I resolved to do same.
Were going right down that
tongue" shouted Jim. pointing
to smooth water in the middle
of the rapid that ended in a big
wave.
Down we went. When we hit
the wave, the bow went under
and a lot of the wave entered
the boat. The water was about
three inches deep where was
sitting. There was a marked
loss of stability as we balanced
preeariously the rest of the way
through the rapids. We turned
right to a beach behind a big
rock. pulled the canoe ashore
and tipped the water out Of it.
We waited for the second
canoe to make it. Jim trained
his camera to photograph it as
it passed the big rock on our left
We could not see them but Oscar
climbed the rock and shouted
that they were showing off.
They're over" he shouted.
Canoe Upsets, Dunks Two
I hoped he meant that they
were over the rapids. But in q
second an overturned canoe
swept past the rock with Wal
ter Oates head bobbing near the
bow and Sid Hess swimming
astern.
My first thought was about the
camera and the film. Had all this
effort been for nothing? My
second thought was, where Ii
Andy Thomas?"
Fortunately he had stayed be-
hind with the camera after en-
couraging the novice (Walter
IOates) to try his hand at pad
|dling.
! The two swimmers we're able
to beach the canoe on the Mary
land shore and drain it.
We went to the left around
Turkey Island and then turned
upstream in the channel on the
Virginia side. Jim and Oscar
padding hard against the cur
rent. We finally waded the last
100 yards to Yellow Falls, a
swift rapid, so Jim could show
us where channel 10 feet wide
had been blasted for the long
boats of the 18th century.
| We waded back to the canoes
and started downstream again
The next hazard was Stubblefield
Rapids. about opposite Carde-
rock. Stubblefield has the big
gest waves Of all, but it proved
the easiest to navigate. Below
1t the river widens out in Plum
mer's Pool, said to be 100 feet
deep.
Then we went through Long,
boat Chute. a long channel
Through rapids blasted out by
the Potomac Co.
We came upon a few rowboats
from which men were casting for
bass. The boats were the first
we had encountered on the river
since the start Of our trip.
1t had been quite q dayi
