At Chain Bridge. the pipeline
presumably would tap the Dis

that private construction firm

million pipeline and lease it to
the county with the understand
ing that the county buy it at cost
whenever bond money becomes
available for an integrated water
system in Fairfax. 81
The pipeline would be ade-
quate to serve about $4,000 peo-
pie and could be installed within
six months. Mr.. Massey said.
1nitially it would serve AMMAN

that are about to develop Just
outside Falls Church.

Eisenhower Faces
Solid Sc Opposition
In South, Gore Says
BY the Associated Press

Senator Gore, Democrat, of
Tennessee said today he doesn't
believe President Eisenhower will
have IAN outside chance to carry
single Southern State in 1856"
Senator Gore said he disagrees
with Coy. Robert F. Kennon of
Louisiana who said yesterday in
Richmond, Va, that if Adlai E.
Stevenson is the Democratic
candidate again he will run into
party opposition as he did in
1852. Mr.. Stevenson lost four
Dixie States to Mr.. Eisenhower
Texas, Florida, Virginia and
Tennessee.
Gov. Kennon supported Mr..
Eisenhower in 1852. Senator
Gore, who backed Mr.. Stevenson,
noted this in an interview and
he asked: who is he to tell
the Democrats whom they should
nominated"
See Eisenhower Today.
Gov. Kennon. suggesting alter
mates to Mr.. Stevenson. said he
wasn't predicting that any DEM
ocratic candidate could beat Mr..
Eisenhower. The President has
given no public word as to
whether he will run in 1856.
Gov. Kennon and Republican
Gov. Walter j. Kohler of Wis
consin had a White House ap-
pointment with Mr.. Eisenhower
late today. James C. Hagerty,
White House press secretary, said
Sc understood the two wanted to
discuss the administration
highway aid program. The
Louisiana Governor is chairman
of the Governors Conference.
Without guessing whether Mr..
Stevenson will be the party NOM
inee again, Senator Gore said
he believes the traditional Dem
ocratic hold on the South has
been solidified by Eisenhower
administration policies.
Hits Tax, Power Stands.
''The people of the South
don't like the Presidents policy
of giving tax relief to the rich, "
he said. "They don't like his
farm policy and they don't like
his power policies.
IF Eisenhower is a candidate
again in 1856. and I assume he
will be. I don't think he has an
outside chance to carry a single
Southern State"
Gov. Kennon said he would
like to see the Democrats NOM
mate someone like Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia or Gov.
Allan Shivers of Texas among
others. Gov. Shivers supported
Mr.. Eisenhower in 1852 and Sem
ator Byrd declined to back Mr..
Stevenson.
Senator Byrd said he isn't run
ming for President. He wouldn't
comment on whom he might
support in 1856.
