Flood Control

Project Held Needed
If City Hopes to
Lure New Industry

A fiood-control project along
Ia portion Of Cameron Run and
Holmes Run has been recon-
|mended If Alexandria wishes to
attract industry to the area re-
Gently annexed from Fairfax
County.
A report submitted to the city
by Holland Engineers said that
not only is the project essential
Ito future development. but it is
necessary to prevent damage to
railroads along the stream and
Ito the Army Quartermaster De-
pot on Duke street.
The study was requested re-
Gently by City Council after
|Kann's Department Store ex-
pressed interest in locating a 50
million warehouse OF Duke
street near Holmes Run. Kann's
said it would locate there If as
|sprances were given that the
warehouse would not food.
Enlargement Of Bridges
The report. scheduled to be
considered Saturday by the
Council. says that a compre-
hensive project would require
enlargement Of the highway
bridge over Holmes Run at Duke
street. the Southern Railroad
bridge over Cameron Run about
Il 900 feet downstream and the
IN. F. g. P. railroad bridge farther
downstream.
The report says that unless the
bridges are improved a system
Iof 6 to l5-foot levees would have
to be built along the streams to
prevent flooding.
The least extensive measure
flor the immediate future would
be enlargement Of the Southern
Railroad bridge and construc-
ton Of some levees. This is
estimated to cost about $4,000.
Replacement Of the highway
bridge would cost about $50. 600
III enlarged just for flood control.
It would cost about $4,000 II
/ 1t also is widened for four-lane
traffic.
No Estimate Of Cost
No estimate was made Of the
cost Of enlarging the RF&r
railroad bridge but it was con-
sidered expensive because Of the
height Of the tracks from the
stream.
The survey covered about SOC
acres Of the area annexed four
years ago from Fairfax County
No estimate has been made Of
the cost Of controlling water
along the upper portion OF
Holmes Run and Backlick Run
where hundreds of other indus
trial acres are located.
City officials are interested in
attracting industry to the area
because of he additional tax
yield. Ciy Manager Ira F. VIII
lard is scheduled to give his rec
m tho IJollond 70
port at the Council meeting Sat-
urday.
The Holland report concluded
that a food control program is
essential even If no new installa-
ltions are constructed because
serious permanent damage
could be dope during extremely
heavy storms to the Army Depot
property and to the railroad
tracks.

As Senute President

BALTIMORE. Jan. 10 R.--A
move TO block the reelection Of
Senate President Goldstein. Dem
Iocrat Of Calvert was reported
today as the hackroom shutting
for top ofiices IN the Maryland
Legislature got under way in
earnest.
One Of the prime movers, ask
ing that his identity be withheld.
said his group was hoping for
this arrangement:
Senator Turnbull. Democrat Of
Baltimore County, to be named
president.
Senators Della, Democrat of
Baltimore, and Redden, Demo-
crat of Caroline, to be among
those receiving early choice of
committee chairmanships.
Senator Della was believed In
line for the floor leadership and
Finance Committee chairman
ship, with Senator Redden being
offered the Judiciary Committee
gavel.
Engineered IS Upset
Senator Turnbull, who engin-
Ieered a similar move to upset
the Della -Redden combination in
1856 and wound up with the floor
leadership in that session. was
not Immediately available for
comment on the proposed alli-
ance.
Such procession politicking
aroused lasting enmity last year.
when the Democrats were split
on some major issues throughout
the session, despite a 21-to-8 ma
ljority over the Republicans.
In 1855 Senators Della and
Redden led a faction which ap-
peared to have agreed on Mr..
Redden for the presidency and
Mr.. Della for the judiciary chair
Imanship. Senator Goldstein, a
longtime Della ally. was to con-
Itinue as floor leader. as he had
been during Mr.. Della's four
years as president.
Move Blocked
| The arrangement collapsed,
however. after solidly Democra-
tic Eastern Shore delegates voted
lon the eve Of the session to re-
Iject the candidacy Of Perry o.
Wilkinson, Democrat Of Prince
Georges. for speaker Of the House
lin favor of John C. Luber, Demo-
Icrat Of Baltimore.
Mr.. Wilkinson's fellow South
em Marylanders in the Senate
Iretaliated by rejecting Eastern
IShoreman Redden for the presi-
Idency. Senator Goldstein was
persuaded to bolt the Della Red
Iden group in exchange for the
presidency. He has made clear
he intends to seek reelection

Ivenes for It's regular session Feb

It kept William Gulledge
and Arlene Williams busy
shaking the thirst that de-
veloped the other day when a
few Senators and Representa-
ttves got together to talk over
whether the District ought to
get into the whisky business.
Those two Senate District
Committee workers supplied
the sound effects and the
liquid refreshment-ice water
decanted from two big
pitchers.
They poured while witness
es and members Of the Sem
ate-House fiscal subcommittee
dryly argued whether a liquor
monopoly here would be good
or bad. 8
Representative Andrews, the
Alabama Democrat who is
back of the bill, said he
thought the District could
make a lot of money selling
Huuor. but made II clear he
was not an expert on whisky.
''I never made any; I never
sold any," he said, rapping for
emphasis with his empty
water glass. 81 have no per-
sonal interest, in this, uh, case.

think over and a bone to chew

from Texas, took a sip Of
water and made his own dis
ayowal of any personal knowl-
edge OF alcoholic beverages.

'T'M NOT A DRY" he said.
t.It's just that I don't drink.

lice itself and more good than

Mr.. Andrews said II the Dis
trict took over, there would be
less whisky sold to kids,
drunks, winos and hop-heads.
And there would be a lot less
crime"
Senator Beall, Maryland Re-
publican, said he had the idea
from reading the newspapers
that crime had been going
down here during the past few
years.
MMr. Andrews subsidized, I'M
gering his glass refiectively.
'sWen, I'm not here to discuss

n After Mr.. Andrews had fin
ished, and the water was de-
canted all around again, the
storm broke.
Commissioner Spencer was
first to say he thought the
whole idea of the District SELL
ing whisky was wrong. He
said he thought 1t was wrong,
