During the summer in many
cities across the country, news
papers conduct contests especially
for amateur snapshooters. There
are weekly prizes, and a grand
prize awarded at the end of the
season. Then all the grand prize
winners from the city compete

pleasing to the eye. And finally,
ask yourself if it has universal
appeal-whether it would tell a
simple, direct story to another
person who may have no IA

If your snapshot seems to fill
these specifications, don't hesitate
to enter it in one of the contests.
More often than you think, an

simple box camera by casual
Sunday snapshooter is the very
one that walks away with top
honors.

By DAVID KoONCE

Rain, one of the more prosaic
and unspectacular phenomena Of
weather. has visited the Washington
area in recent days with suddeness,
abundance and death.
The death Of six persons last
/. week end in nearby Maryland
floods was a reminder that rain,
the life-giver, also snatches away
( life. Coming quietly. it is a greater
K killer than lightning. More persons
are drowned in rainwater every
year than are lost to the sea. At
100 tons per acre for each inch Of
fall, every acre in the District last
week got 225 tons of rain water.
What makes it rain?
Even the trained weather scien-
fist finds a simple answer hard to
come by. He knows that rainfall
is governed by the amount of in
stability in the upper air, which
still holds many deep secrets in
its cirrus clouds.
The Roin Cycle
Unstable air is that whose
temperature change exceeds q
given rate at each 1,000-foot level
above the earth. The higher the
level, the cooler the air. At lower
levels. air is warmed by the earth's
surface. 1t contains moisture
picked up from bodies of water or
vegetation. This warm air, being
lighter. begins to rise through the
atmosphere, and if it remains
warmer than the air around it,
rises to great attitudes.
When finally the moist air reaches
the heights where the temperature
is freezing, the moisture begins to
form tiny ice crystals that grow in
size and weight until gravity pulls
them downward. En- route back
to the earth, the ice drops melt and
become raindrops. Freezing need
not occur, however, to produce rain.
When the rising air is cooled below
its dewpoint, it becomes saturated
and this increases the density Of
its moisture. which falls as rain.
The moist air rises in the first
place for one of number Of rea-
sons: 1t may be heated by the
earth's surface; it may follow the
upward slope of mountain; it may
be forced upward on meeting a
wedge Of cold air.
The rain of July 20 which
brought death and hundreds Of
thousands of dollars damage to this
area was caused by winds from
two directions. Wind from the
southeast at the lower levels
brought warm. moist air from the
Atlantic and the Chesapeake Bay.
At the same time in the upper air,
a cool wind was blowing in from
the southwest. When the two met,
the landscape for miles around was
wet down.
The heaviest fall in the area was
recorded at Hagerstown, Md, which
got almost seven inches on July 20.
Washingtonians attempting to use
Rock Greek Parkway that day
might have thought the District got

They said there would be no effort
to undermine the influence Of the
party's most influential member,
National Committeeman Ted Dalton
Of Radford, the State Senator who
has come to be known as "Mr.
Republican" since almost defeating
Democratic Gov. Stanley three
years ago.
As for Mr.. Dalton himself, there
is every indication that he kept
hands OF the fight for chairman.
at the convention. One evidence
of this was that his home town
Of Radford cast its votes for Mr..
Parsons while his home county of
Montgomery gave its votes to Potter.
The rest of Mr.. Dalton's 9Th
Congressional District was almost
evenly divided at the convention.
Mr.. Potter has been quoted as
saying that II Mr.. Dalton had chosen
to exert his influence, he could have
thrown the contest either way.
Tributes for Dalton
Both Mr.. Potter and Representa-
tive Broyhill shrewdly paid public
tribute to Mr.. Dalton-further allay-
ing impressions that Northern Vir-
ginia was attempting to run away
with the ball.
Mr.. Broyhill, who served as Mr..
Potter's campaign manager (Mr.
Potter had served in like. capacity
for the Congressman in 1852 and
1854 boosted that the 10th Con-
gressional District had given Mr..
Dalton q 3.000-vote majority in the
gubernatorial race three years ago.

speech before the convention, de-
clared 10 would be his aim TO put

VIRGINIA
BY ALEX r. PRESTON

Virginia Republicans recognize in
the 10th congressional district, next
to Washington, the political
strength that lies there while
Democrats continue to regard 1t
persona non grata in many Of that
party's affairs.
That is a stand-out conclusion
that emerges from series OF events
that occurred at the recent q. o. P.
State convention in Roanoke.
1t should be borne In mind that
the 10th district, which includes
Arlington, Fairfax, Alexandria and
Falls Church, has the second largest
bloc Of votes Of any Of the States
10 districts. According to estimates
submitted to the State Board Of
Elections, the total number OF
registered voters in the 10th is
106,136.
Most White Voters
That figure is exceeded only by
the 9Th district, with 109,2l2. OF
particular significance, however, is
the fact that the 10th leads in
the number Of white voters. 1t has
102,154, compared with 100.686
registered in the 9Th.
The upset victory scored by I. Lee
Potter of Arlington over Lester S.
Parsons of Norfolk for the State
Craftsmanship has been interpreted
several ways. At stake was the seat
Of q Southwest Virginian, s. Floyd
Landreth Of Galax, who retired vol
unfairly.
One view is that Mr.. Potter's VIC
tory represents the conquest Of
youth over age. Mr.. Potter Is As
and Mr.. Parsons Is approaching 70.
other observers held that the
outcome represents a shift" of
party power from the rockbed Of
Virginia's Republicanism in the
Southwest's 9th dictrict to North
ern virginia's 10th.
Probably some Of both were fac
tors in the results.
But instead Of q SHIFT" there
now appears to be a spread" Of
Republican influence between the
two geographic extremities Of Vir-
ginia. Sort Of q power axis within
the party has been created.
BrOyhiIl's Beginning
Northern Virginia's influence in
Republican circles has been steadily
climbing since 1852 when the 10th

The End Is Not Yet
For Airport Debate

ators appointed by the Appropri-
atoms Committee"
Now. however, the Appropria-
lions Committee will have its
chance to make a study, too.
If he goes over the history closely
enough, Senator Holland may find
the answer to what he called ''un-
reasonable proposal to put
$50 million into a second airport
without asking for dimes contri-
button by the areas affected"
Secretary Weeks tried to get not
only a dime but SO per cent of the
total cost from the District Of CO.
lumbia, Virginia, Maryland and
Fairfax County. He couldn't raise
a nickel.
The reason is that only one Gov
eminent in this area is interested
in a new Washington airport
the Federal Government.
The government Of Fairfax
County is strongly opposed, as is
the government of Virginia.
The government of Maryland,
needing Baltimore's pleas to give it
the overflow from National Airport,
wants Friendship International Air
port designated as q coterminal.
And the government Of the Dis
trict of Columbia hasn't put up
even q penny's worth Of enthusiasm
over financing q new airport for
Washington.
New Proposal
One new idea was suggested in
the Senate debate by Senator A.
Willis Robertson, Democrat Of Viz
ginia. For "one-tenth" Of $50 mil
lion, he said, I'VE could provide &C
cess roads to Friendship Airport
which would eliminate the IA or Is
minute difference in driving time"
between downtown Washington and
Friendship as compared to Burke.
by use of those roads it would
be possible to travel so miles an
hour, and in that way cut down
the travel differential as between
Baltimore and Burke" he said.
If Senator Holland pursues this
idea. he will discover that Senator
Robertson's high-speed access road
would have to run through the
heart of Washington between the
downtown area and Bladensburg
road and New York avenue NE.
From that point to Friendship
over the new Baltimore Washington
parkway takes only about 80 min
utes' driving time. But from that
point to downtown Washington
takes from IL to 20 minutes, de-
pending on traffic congestion.
If the Senate can build a 60-mile-
an-hour highway from New York
avenue and Bladensburg road to
the Statler Hotel for less than $50
million, it may well have found
the answer to the problem.

Back to Work
In Steel Plants

Three years Of labor peace in the
steel industry was assured when
negotiators for the IL major COM

ers union came to terms on a con-
tract on Friday, the 9th day of
the strike by $4,000 steel workers

q month or more before steel pro-
duction can reach its pre-strike

The strike was one Of the least
