paign into his home county
Hartford.
Mr. Tydings wound up a two
day foot campaign in Anne
Arundel yesterday on a wave OF
optimism.
From my reception in the
lower part of Anne Arundel to
Brooklyn Park, I am convinced
I have an excellent chance of
carrying the county," Mr.. Tyd-
ings said.
Claims New Support
The former Senator also re-
ported breaks in the heretofore
solid organization backing of his
opponent, George P. Mahoney
Anne Arundel has been one OF
the counties political observers
have conceded to Mr.. Mahoney
Before Mr.. Tydings announced
his candidacy. State Senator
Louis Phipjs threw his support
10 Mr.. Mahoney. who also won
the backing of the powerful or
ganization of Ral'/l L. Lowmar
| in the northern section of the
county.
Mr. Tydings said that since
Senator Phipps had released his
organization from being bouno
by his personal Endorsement
many of his most powerful lead
ers had swung away from Mr.
Mahoney. He declined to name
them, but said they ARE working
very hard for me-"
Mr.. Tydings made no bones
about depending on much of his
support in the county on ar
anti-Lowman campaign that is
underway there.
"The people are for me. There
is a terrific opposition to the
Lowman machine here" Mr.. Tyd.
ings said as he talked to re.
porters from the heart of the
Lowman stronghold in Brooklyn
Mr.. Tydings earlier had sale
that if he won Anne Arundel
County'S seven unit votes. he
would get the nomination.
Works Annapolis Area
Mr.. Tydings carried his per.
son-to-perSon campaign yester.
day through a shipyard at An
napolis. a department store anc
lumber yard in Glen Burnie.

Architects RecruitFoes
To Capitol 'BoondoqqIe'

New York architects Lorimer
Rich and Ralph Walker are
kicking up considerable fuss
about the plan approved by Con-
gress for the extension of the
east front of the Capitol.
They have started a drive to
interest members of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects over
the country to oppose what they
call a 1916 million boondoggle. /"
The renovation project, they say,
would "desecrate" the Capitol.
Their views were carried in the
current issue of the Architec-
tural Forum.
Since the magazines April is
sue went to press with its edi-
torial. the New York chapter of
the ALA has adopted resolu-
ton opposing the project and is
writing to members of the House
and Senate.
Studied for Years
The project has been under
study for many years. The COM
plant has been that, while many
changes have been made in the
structure of the Capitol, both be-
fore and since its burning by the
British, the plan never has been
completed. 1t is proposed to
move the east front some dis
lance outward from the present
line of the outside wall, but it
would still be within the line of
the eastern extremity of the
House and Senate wings.
One of the purposes is prac-
teal. Advocates say this would
afford a considerable additional
amount of space within the
building for committee and con-
ference rooms.
Tied in with this are plans

CAMBRIDGE, Md, April 90
George P. Mahoney turned his
political hat around today as he
moved down the Eastern Shore
from Kent County, where he is
an anti-organization candidate,
to Dorchester County. where he
has organization blessing.
AS he pulled out of Cambridge
this morning with Is carloads of
local supporters in a campaign
caravan, Mr.. Mahoney re-
marked. Man. this is a lot diff
ferent than Kent"
Here in Dorchester, Mr.. Ma
honey's candidacy for the DEM
ocratic senatorial nomination in
Maryland's May Z primary has
the backing of the two local
major party factions headed by
Emerson c. Harrington and w.
IGrason Winterbottom.
Mr.. Mahoney planned to tromp
his way through Dorchester to-
day in much the same manner
he has in four other Eastern
Shore counties this week.
Mr.. Mahoney paused for a
moment in the community of
Secretary to say that the most
important contribution any Fed
.eral farm policy can make to the
national welfare lis in the pres
ervation of the farm which is
not just a commercial enter
prise but a family home"
Mr. Mahoney. who previously
has taken a stand against the
Democratic farm bill vetoed last
week by President Eisenhower.
said. I'VE continue to draft
farm bills which give all the
breaks to the big commercial
operator while the little fellow
does not get the consideration
he deserves"
He said about 100000 family
type farms have been aban-
doned in the United States since
1910.

campaigned yesterday, the domi-
Inant Democratic organization led
for many years by Arthur Brice.

Fisheries Commission chairman.
lis working for Willard E. Tyd-
IIngs. Mr.. Mahoney's principal
opponent.
Mr.. Mahoney took time out
from his Eastern Shore tour last
night to fly to Cumberland for
a rally in his behalf. He re-
turned here by chartered plane
this morning after taking off
from Cumberland in a snow
storm.
At the rally. he criticized
Democrats who believe that
Democratic policies are for ex-
port only"
They are strictly foreign pol
icy Democrats" he said, who
will support a Democratic Point
Four program for the people of
Alleganv as the rankest kind
works project for the people of
Allegheny as the rankest kind
of socialism"
Some observers felt his re-
marks were aimed at Mr.. Tyd-
ings. who has emphasized for
eign policy and world affairs in
many of his campaign talks.
Il am a foreign policy Demo-
crat and a domestic policy DEM
ocrat, and ! am not ashamed
OF it, Mr.. Mahoney told his
Cumberland supporters.
He said that, for a long time,
Democrats have been losing "a
sort of cold war TO the Repub-
leans who have cried so
loudly and SO long about these
terrible. socialistic Democratic
programs and policies"

to develop a two-level under
ground garage under the paved
plaza Immediately east of the
Capitol. Also on the practical
side are plans for the develop
ment underground of a big new
restaurant to serve members and
employees of the House and Sem
ate.
On the aesthetic side, advo-
Gates of the plan say the project
not only would complete the de-
sign of the Capitol but would
/, also enhance its beauty. With
the extension of the east front.
they point out, the huge dome
no longer would seem to be lean
ing over the east wall.
Actually, the dome itself does
not overhang the east wall but
the big skirt beneath it does.
Another consideration is the fact
that the central portion of the
structure is based on limestone
so soft that it must be painted
from time to time to prevent the
wear of weather.
! None of these arguments, how
ever. has satisfied the opposi-
ton. An editorial in the Archi-
tectural Forum, signed by Doug
las Haskell, editor, declared:
Nothing Forum has recently
advocated has drawn wider ia
vorable response than the re-
newed push to preserve the Cap
itol in Washington
Petition to Rayburn
The society of Architectural
Historians, joining in the pro-
test move. some time ago sent a
petition to House Speaker Ray
burn. The Architectural Forum
said Mr.. Rayburn's reply, to
Francis P. Douglas, a reporter
for The Washington Star, was
that the work would proceed"
The magazine added that Mr..
Rayburn hoped to remove the
parked cars from the plaza. The
magazine went on to say Mr..
Rayburn could do this without
remodeling the east front of the
Capitol.
The Architectural Forum ar
ticle went on to say:
1T is hard to believe that
Speaker Rayburn can long re-
main in his present position of
backing a Sic million boondoggle
"a monumental folly against
the manifest wishes of a great
majority of his fellow country
men.
Lets repeat what the situa-
ton is. The proposal to move
the east front of the Capitol
some 36 feet forward is officially
intended to secure a few hearing
rooms and lunchrooms for Con-
gressmen, plus a needed corridor
across the building bypassing the
public lobbys.
Move Held Unnecessary
ITO achieve these official aims,
it is not necessary at all to push
forward a whole monumental
wall. We note the offer of the
ALAS board of directors to find
"a solution for these official aims
within the present envelope. Just
to make doubly sure. both Forum
and the Historians have sug-
gested an amendment TO the act
so the first step can be a dis
passionate report by a 'front.'
