In a blast reminiscent of
charges, Senator Butler yester
day accused Mr.. Tydings of ac-
Iceptlng financial support from
an organization which was "pri-
marily interested in left-wine
policies.
His comment was on Monday S
announcement that the National
Committee for an Effective Con-
gress was contributing $500 to-
ward the campaign of Mr.
Tydings. Further aid is to oe
given, the organization promised
Denied by Tydings
IT I received a contribution
from that outfit l would send
it back" the Republican COM
mented huffily.
An aide to the Republican
Senator, celebrating on the re-
marks, said the fact that the
committee is supporting Sena-
tor Morse. Democrat of Oregon,
as well as former Senator Ty-
dings. was indicative of its
"left-wing" leanings.
Last night Mr.. Tydings issued
a statement in which he said he
was very amused" at Senator
Buffers description of the COM
mittee as a 'too-liberal organi:
cation" Mr.. Tydings, himself,
pointed to similarity of the
issue now raised by the Senator
and the communism issue raised
between the two in their earlier
campaign.
II am sure" the former Sen
ator was quoted by the Associ-
ated Press. every Maryland
citizen will have a hearty chuckle
upon hearing Mr.. Butler COM
ment on the subject of campaign
donations, coming as it does
only five years after Mr.. Buffers
last campaign manager, Mr.. Jon
Jonkel, was indicted, tried and
convicted of violation of Mary
land corrupt practice election
laws for miShandling of dona-
tons and improper donations.
Called Distraction
1T seems" Tydings added.
that my opponent is going to
try to distract the Maryland
voters attention from the real
issues of this election by any
means, no matter how absurd.
Mr. Butler must run on his
record. which includes a unani-
nous report from a nonpartisan
United States Senate committee
made up OF Republicans and
Democrats alike which found IN
1850 Mr.. Butler conducted a
'despicable. back-street type of
campaign involving false photo
graphs. smears, ETC."

River Bend Dam Plan

Maryland's State legislative
committee on the Potomac River
today asked the Army Engineer
Corps If its 1916 plans to build
a multiple purpose dam at River
Bend are still practicable.
The request for the informa-
ton was prompted by Leland
Olds, former Federal Power
Commissioner, who last Monday
urged the committee. to support
development of the proposed
dam for electric power as well
as other uses.
Mr.. Olds estimated that pub
lie power generated from a n.y.
dro-electric plant at River Bend
would save rural electrical CO.
operatives in Southern Maryland
and on the Eastern Shore about
$375, 900 a year in power acqui-
sition costs.
The Washington District En-
gineer of the Army Engineer
Corps in 1916 recommended,
with detailed preliminary plans
a River Bend structure outfitted
initially with three 30,000-kilo-
watt generators. The dam also
was designed to have water sup
ply, flood control and other
benefits.
The plan was scotcned largely
by private power and conserva-
ton interests. The engineers
now are undertaking an ex-
haustive review OF the 1915
report which applies to the en-
S tire Potomac basin.

Hervey Macren, delegate from
Prince Georges County and
chairman of the Legislative
Committee, said his group is
making its inquiry to avoid TN
necessary delays in launching
a basin development program.
He said there has been wide
spread acceptance of the River
Bend dam idea as a water stor-
age and flood control project.
He added that while the COM
mittee has no wish to impede
development of the river for ben
eft of the maximum number of
people the legislative group is
anxious to give its support to
