Hyde Is Unopposed
For denomination;
Four in Demo Race

As far as the Sixth District of
Maryland is concerned there are
races for every nomination except
two, the judgeship in Washington
county and the Republican nomi-
nation for Congress.
Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde is unop-
posed i'll the May primary for the
Republican nomination, as is As
sociate Judge D. Kenneth Nc
Laughlin, of Washington county
There will be six seeking the
Democratic nomination to the u.
S. Senate. They are George P.
Mahoney, former US. Senator Mil
lard E. Tydings, Andrew j. Easter,

L. Pyle and Thomas L. Christian.
Five seek the Republican nomi-
nation. Heading the list is the in
cumbent John Marshall Butler. His
opponents are Earl f. Knepper,
Henry j. Laque, Jr., D. John Mark
ey and Harold John Redgrave.
While Rep. Hyde is unopposed
for the nomination, Democrats
seeking the nomination include
Robert w. Cremins, John r. Foley,
Victor A. Leisner, and j. Grahame
Walker.
In this county Associate Judge
Neil c. Fraley who was appointed
to the position will be opposed by
Lewis r. Jones. Both are Republi-
cans. The candidates cross-file in
both Democratic and COP pri-
maries. In the event one of them
leads both tickets he would be I'M
opposed in the general election.

Assembly Enacts
Gas Well Bill

Maryland's first comprehensive
legislation to regulate natural gas
and oil well operations was en-
acted Tuesday night by the Senate.
Sending the measure to Gov. Nc
Keldin for his signature the sena-
tors approved a House amendment
to a proposal climaxing three years
of study.
Basically the bill puts the regu-
lation of the states growing gas
industry in the hands of the De-
partment of Geology and Mines.
Well operators would have to ac-
quirc department permits for drill
ing and post bonds of $500 each
to make certain they carry out re-
quirements set up by the depart
ment
No operator could drill within
1000 feet of a property line unless
he received special permission
from the department after a hear
ing.
The Legislature deleted a provi-
sion from the original proposal
governing the underground storage
of gas which has already been pro-
duced from wells.
Violations of the new act Would
be punishable by fines ranging
from 500 to $1,000 for each Of
Tense, but the departments rulings
and regulations could be chal-
lenged in the circuit courts.

Boy Is Burned By
High Tension Wire;
Dies on Tuesday

A fifteen year old Jennings
youth was fatally burned about
the hands, arms, legs and head
Sunday when light wire he was
playing with came into contact
with a high tension line.
Admitted to Meyersdale Com
munity hospital in very poor con-
dition' was Stewart Broadwater,
son of MIR. and Mrs Harry Broad
water. of Jennings. He died Tues
day morning without regaining
consciousness.
Trooper Glen Folk, Maryland
State Police, who Investigated the
accident, said the victim was play
ing about l p m. in the back yard
of his home with a younger sister.
He had taken a bead wire from an
old automobile tire and was tossing
it into the air when the light strand
of wire touched a 7,200-volt high
tension line which crossed over the
yard about 100 feet to the rear of
the Broadwater house.
The severe jolt the youth re-
ceived while holding onto the wire
strand knocked him to the ground
unconscious.
His sister screamed for help and
neighbors Immediately rushed the
boy by auto to GrantSville where
he was transferred to an ambu-
lance and taken to the Meyersdale
hospital.
Trooper Folk, notified of the ac-
cident, called ahead to the hospital
to make arrangements for his adj
mittance Immediately. Folk said he
and the father returned to the
scene Of the accident and, using
long wooden pole, knocked the
wire strand loose from the high
tension line where it had fused
and was dangling about three feet
from the ground.
The state trooper said young
BrOadwater was wearing arctic
rubber boots at the time the mis-
hap occurred and this probably was
instrumental in keeping him from
being killed instantly. Folk said he
was not certain how the boy threw
the light wire over the high tension
line which was 30 feet above the
ground.
A tenth grade student at North
ern High school, he was born De-
cember 6, 1910, and was native of
this county.
Surviving besides his parents are
two brothers, Reed Broadwater, Of
Fentress, Va, and Jerry Broad
water, at home; five sisters. Miss
Selva j. BroadWater, FentresS;
Misses JoAnn, Connie, Maxine and
Inez, with whom he was playing at
the time of the accident, all at
home; and half-sister, Mrs. Lola
Bittinger, of Jennings.
Funeral services are being con-
Quoted this afternoon at 2;30 o.
