President 10 FN
To Richmond for
Campaign Talk
To Appear at Airport
In Bid to Capture
Virginia for G. o. P.
By the Associated Press

President Eisenhower carries
his campaign for a second term
into Virginia today with a per-
sonal appearance his supporters
hope will attract the votes to
swing the, Old Dominion into the
Republican column again.
Mr.. Eisenhower, on a one-day
flying swing into the South. was
scheduled to land at Richmond's
Byrd Field this afternoon for
a campaign speech. After the
speech and some handshaking
with local campaigners, the Pres
Iident and Mrs. Eisenhower will
board their plane for the return
trip to Washington.
Trains, Buses Chartered
Republicans and Eisenhower
Democrats chartered a train and
a score of buses to transport the
faithful and interested onlook-
ers to and from the airport. In
addition, motorcades of Repub-
licans and Eisenhower Demo-
Gratis were expected from many
communities around the State.
-Four years ago the President
carried Virginia by 10000 votes.
In another development, Rep
Iresentative Tuck, Democrat of
Virginia today called on Vir-
Iginians to support the Demo-
cratic ticket because "there is no
comfort for the Southern people
in the Republican Party"
Administration Blasted
In a speech recorded for de-
livery in behalf Of Adlai Steven
fson and Virginia's Democratic
congressional candidates, Mr..
Tuck leveled sharp criticism at
the Eisenhower administration
on two counts:
/. Its failure Ito demonstrate
any interest in the preservation
of our time-honored and cher
ished principles of the sovereign
ty of the States"
2. Its lack of a farm policy and
program acceptable to our peo-
pie"
Mr.. Tuck's talk contained no
personal reference to Mr.. Stew
enson, whom he denounced in
1852 on the ground the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate had
embraced "Trumanism." The 5th
District Representative an
announced several weeks ago he
intended to vote for Mr.. Steven
son this year.

Area Planning Control
Extension Recommended

At present a simple majority
vote of either governing body
can override planning recon.
mendations of the commission
THE citizens of the two coun.
ties thus lack protection for theil
long-range interests as embodied
in official plans and planning
policies" Mr.. Segoe asserted.
1t was recommended this ruIl
be changed to require a two
thirds vote of the governing
bodies to override recommends
tons Of the proposed planning
boards.
The planning boards were con-
sidered a solution to two present
basic difficulties: THE lack o.
close correlation between tn,
commission and either county
governing body, and the some
what indirect responsiveness Of
the commission to the electorate
of the two counties"
The reorganization was stressed
as a means of freeing the full
commission from local matter.
and enabling it to devote more
time to regional plans.
Need Coordination
A committee to coordinate
M-NCPPC and WSSC policie.
and activities and two others
one in each county, to elimii.
nate inconsistencies and ambi.
guities" in road codes and plat.
ting regulations were suggested
Mr.. Segoe urged immediate
moves toward completion anc
adoption of a master plan Nfol
the suburban area.
The commissions proposed
master plan is scheduled for re.
lease to the public within the
next two weeks. Public hearings
on it are set for December.
Mr.. Segoe advised against
planning and coming commissions
within municipalities, but notec
that initial coming ordinance;
and amendments governing land
within an unincorporated area
should be referred to its gov.
lernipg body for review.

THE FIRST listing of
Cooley in connection with the
lime kilns appears in 1858.
But the Cooley name must
have had a long connection
with Washington, for on
November 6, 1867, he was
elected to membership in the
Association of Oldest In
habitants.
Limestone for the Cooley
kilns was carted down the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
quarries above Seneca, Md,
and was converted into the
lime that was necessary in
those days of skinny build
ing materials.
The GodeyS themselves,
however, thought theirs was
the Oldest kiln in the area.
They advertised in 1884:
among the most conspic-
uouS industries which have
given character to the City
of Washington is the estab-
lishMent of Edward Cooley
Williams SOM, manufacturer
of lime, and known as the
Washington Lime Kilns.
1.-THE business was estab-
lished in 1854 by William H.
Cooley, and now carried on
by his son, Edward Cooley.
The premises are both large
and well arranged, being 500
feet on the east side of
Twenty-seventh street and
500 feet on L street; employ
ment is given to rs workmen
This is the oldest lime
kiln in the District, and is the
result of the first enterprise
of the kind started here. The
trade is very large and con-
stantly increasing, and
reaches all parts of the Dis
trict, Maryland and North
Carolina.
"The capacity of the works
is 1000 barrels of lime weekly
and surpasSes all others in
the quality of whiteness
yielding and working cool
The Government and all the
leading merchants here will
use no other, being burned in
improved kilns and by wood
Mr.. Cooley is a native OF
Georgetown and is a young
and enterprising businessman
enjoying the confidence of all
who know him"

The
Rambler
Old Lime KiIns
Now Lundmurk
By JACK JONAS

The remnants of a once
great Georgetown industry, in
that former industrial basin
of Rock Creek, were marked
in bronze recently for the
education and information of
future generations.
Standing along Rock Creek
Parkway just of the east
entrance to Whitehurst Free
way, is what is left of Godey's
Lime Kilns.
There are five Of them,
solidly together, once called
patent" kilns, dating at
at least from 1854, and per-
haps back as early as 1888.
That was the year of the be-
ginning of the lime industry.
The kilns, off to the north
of the Freeway, look like the
ruins of medieval breastworks,
and are sometimes mistaken
for such.
William H. Cooley was the
man whose name is on the
kilns today.
The people at National
Capital Parks say their in
formation shows that three
of the kilns were built in 1888,
with two more added about
1850.
The name Cooley does not
appear in connection with
them until the 1865. In 1853,
Washington directory shows
a William Cooley, painter, and
two years later a William H.
Cooley with a paint store at
76 Congress street and a
home at liz Congress street.
