River Bend Dam
Plan Opposed
Potomac (Md.) Area
Residents Organize

Potomac CMd.) area residents
have organized to block plans
Of the Army Engineers to build
a high-level dam at River Bend
just above Great Falls.
known as the Co-ordinating
Committee on the Potomac
River Valley. the group has
elected Frederick r. Gutheim as
chairman.
Mr.. Gutheim, author of 1.-The
Potomac" and a member of
the National Capital Regional
Planning Council, is land plan
ming consultant.
Vice chairman of the group is
A. w. Smith. Washington at
torney.
Some 35 persons met Thurs
day night at Gusti's Restaurant
with conservation officials to
map plans for the fight.
Seek Crowd for Hearings
Their first big effort will be
to turn out residents for public
hearings slated in the area June
1927 on plans for the dam.
The dam. advocated for a
decade by the Army Engineers,
repeatedly would be built to an
elevation of 246 feet above sea
level and would flood 100000
acres in pool stage and $4,000
acres at flood stage.
The flooding would inundate
lands along the river as far up
stream as Harper's Ferry, w. Va.
The membership is opposed to
any dam below Harper's Ferry
according to a resolution
adopted at the organization
meeting.
They feel the solution to Po-
tomac pollution problem is the
proper and complete" treat
ment Of all sewage emptied
into it.
They are opposed to construc-
ton Of any dam for hydro
electric power on the river.
AS to use of the River Bend
dam as a water supply reservoir
for Metropolitan Washington.
the group contends that all wa
ter needed for domestic use can
be obtained through taps and
proper treatment of water be-
tween Little Falls. and Indian
Head, Md.
Construction Of the River
Bend project would serve as
deterrant to the cleaning up of
the lower river, the group says.
1t would mean communities
would depend on flushing rather
than pollution control through
sewage treatment, they feel.
Want Area Saved
Construction of small dams on
the headwaters of the Potomac
and its tributaries will provide
the flood control the river valley
needs along with the safeguards
advocated for future water sup
plies for the area, the resolu-
ton states.
Basically, the group wants to
maintain the Potomac River val
ley in its present natural status
as one of the last great rivers
for recreation, scenic beauty and
historic background.
Among conservation officials
attending the Co-ordinating
Com mittee's organizational
meeting were Clinton r. Gutter

Capitalism
President Of Stock
Exchange Addresses
1896 Graduates

The University Of Maryland
graduating class today was urged
by the president of the New
York Stock Exchange to support
Ia new and growing peoples cap
italism.
George Keith Funston in a
speech prepared for 1926 grad
yates at College Park, described
the new kind Of capitalism as
the trend of men and women
from every walk of life to invest
directly in the ownership Of
great businesses.
Nearly 1000 persons. includ-
ing seniors and 1900 faculty
members from College Park and
Baltimore schools, attended the
commencement exercises in the
Cole Student Activities Building.
The graduates. Mr.. Funston
said, are expected to show an
articulate awareness Of how our
economic system works. why it
has progressed and what can
be done TO improve it.
Our real need is for the full
man-for those who are adapt
able, imaginative and trained to
think" he said.
Blow to Marxist Theory
Mr.. Funston said the more
than 8.5 million owners Of pub
licly held companies represent a
80 per cent increase since 1852.
Some ITO million persons are
indirect owners through their
investments in life insurance
companies, savings banks and
pension funds. he added.
by giving people everywhere
the chance to participate more
directly in the risks and rewards
of our economy we are proving
the preposterousness OF the
Marxist theory that the rich
will get richer while the poor
become poorer" Mr.. Funston
said.
Mr.. Funston was awarded an
honorary doctor of laws degree.
Gov. McKeldin commended
DR.. Wilson H. Elkins. university
president. and other officials for
broadening and strengthening
the intellectual foundations of
the institution.
FavOrs Icing on Cake
He pledged his cooperation in
furthering improvements. but
said taxpayers must expect to
give more than money and "de-
mand that the university supply
education, not merely a winning
football team and other forms
of entertainment" Athletics re-
ceived the qualified support of

Mckay spoke as an individual
