That is not to say. however

If the election had been held
the day before Federal troops
were sent TO Little Rock, most
observers feel, the Republican
state senator would have car
ried the city. as he did foul
years ago.
In 1858, Norfolk gave Mr.
Dalton S.O75 votes to 1881
for the winner, Gov. Stanley
Democrat.

position" meaning that they
are Democrats but won't hesi-
tate, at times, to buck the Byrd
Organization on basic princi-
lples.
All Of the six Norfolk menu
bers Of the House Of Delegates
are regarded as Young Turks
and frequently are on the same
side OF issues. such as poll tax
repeal. health and mental hos
pital improvements. as are
their colleagues from Arling-
ton. Fairfax and Alexandra.
The legislators themselves
are working for Mr.. Almond In
his campaign but their sup
! porters. which include q large
number of independents. can
be expected to 60 over the party
line II they believe Mr.. Dalton
has a guarantee Of maintain
ing public schools.
There is q much larger labor
vote here than In the area
around Alexandra. The Re-
publicans probably viii take
most Of the votes in the ship
yards, seaport docks and rail-
road terminals. But labor lead
ers. for the most part, are
silent in a State where their
public Endorsement can be
politically embarrassing to the
candidates.
4 The consensus seems TO be
that Norfolk will cast nearly
half the votes In the End Dis
trict. which will total about
$4,000. The average of all esti-
mates gives Mr.. Almond from
SIS to so per cent Of the city's
vote and about 66 per cent Of
the District vote as a whole.

In addition to expected son-
ing problems. Rockville has
been faced with a growing need
for a more reliable source Of
water. From II settlement in
the early i7O0s until 1854 resi-
dents Of Rockville depended en-
tirely on wells for their water
supply.
To-day a $2.6 million bond is
sue is building Rockville's own
water line to the Potomac. a
project that should be finished
by next June.
Impact Is Felt
With a dependable water sys-
tenn Rockville may skyrocket
into an era Of construction that
will bring It close to Silver
Spring and Bethesda in wealth
and size.
Since Jack Markland's return
from the Army Rockville was
honored in 1854 as the "All-
American City," an award CO.

The Oyster Bowl incident. In

the type Of commercial or in

The report states. "the return
TO the county per acre Of land
in multi-family use was 3.925,
while from land used for other
housing 1t was sl.l47. In con-
trast. the per acre revenue yield
from industry was $2.498 and
from other business. $500"
The report continues. "the
county spent S3.3l5 per acre on
land used for multi-family
dwellings, and $3.50 on that
used for other housing. The
amount Of expenditure required
by industrial use was only $955
per acre while other business
required $3.07l."

Ac cording to Washington
dopesters there is a move afoot
In Congress to pass a watered-
down civil rights law this ses-
sion. These rumors are note
worthy from the following points
of view:
CD They show that the pres
sure of the Negro people, partic
ularly in the form of the bus
boycott movements in the South
and the open dissatisfaction with
both capitalist parties, is having
its effect on the politicians. (2)
The politicians feel it is neceS-
Sary to try to pass some civil
rights law heretofore those
concerned about the Negro and
labor vote had considered it suf
ficient merely to introduce civil
rights bills without any inten-
ton of really fighting for their
passage. CD The bill that will
be pushed will not embody basic
civil rights demands (anti-lynch-
ing, fair employment practices
or school desegregation) but
rather token or fringe conces-
SionS.
1t appears that the Senators
behind the move favor a bill in
cooperating all or some of Eisen-
hower'S recommendations of a
year ago. These were a commits

scarcely any damage.
