The Democratic and Republican
candidates for Governor are WOO
ing Northern Virginia's voters as
though outcome Of the November
general election depends on their
ballots.
The affection Of Republican
State Senator Ted Dalton for the
northern corner Of the State Is
well known and is easy to under
stand. This is the area that gave
him such formidable support four
years ago, when he made his first
run for Governor.
Senator Dalton in 1858 carried
the 10th District, which embraces
the four Northern Virginia COM
munities. by q vote Of 22.269 to
1913 for Gov, Stanley. State
wide, the outcome was 226, 1898 for
Gov. Stanley to 183,328 for SEN
ator Dalton-a close-call In Demo-
cratic Virginia.
But the recent cooling Of Demo-
cratic Attorney General J..
Lindsay Almond. jr., about how
vital he considers Northern Vir-
.ginia is something to ponder
Mr.. Almond is the Democratic
nominee for Governor. He has
the support Of the States Demo-
cratic organization, which nor
mally treats Northern Virginia like
q red-headed stepchild.
On two occasions now, Mr.. AL
mond has profeSSed a desire to
welcome Northern Virginia back
into the States Democratic family.
Act Of 'Neor- Treason
The most recent, and emphatic
overture came from Mr.. Almond
last week. when he committed
what some old timers considered
near-treason by frowning on use
Of legislative punishment. This has

The Candidates Woo Northern Viroinio

1t could be argued that in
creaSing Republican strength in
the past two presidential elections
has Democratic leaders worried
that the G. o. P. might have a
chance at the Governors mansion
this time. President Eisenhower
carried the State by q vote of
349.0S7 to 268,667 for Stevenson
in 1852. Last year, the Republic
can margin Of victory was even
greater. President Eisenhower re-
ceived 386.459 Votes to 267,76O for
Stevenson.
But If Mr.. Almond is worried,
he doesn't admit 1t and neither
does anyone else in the State
Democratic hierarchy. They fig
ure their massive resistance"
program alone is enough to guar
antee victory. without the support
Of Northern Virginia.
Could It Be Vonity?
Mr.. Almonds personal vanity
might be another explanation. He
wanted to run for Governor four
years ago. when Gov. Stanley got
the Democratic organization nod.
Gov. Stanley won but his show
ing wasn't too impressive; Sem
ator Dalton collected IS per cent
of the total vote.
1t would be a feather in Mr..
Almonds political hat to out
shine Gov. Stanley by carrying
Northern Virginia. where the Re-
publicanS are counting on so
much strength.
But more likely explanation
for Mr.. Almonds Northern Vir-
gtnia filtration is his desire to
preserve the Democratic Party's
future in Virginia.
While the Republican gains
may not be adequate to overcome
the Democrats in this guberna-
torial election, this isn't the last
time Virginia is going to elect
q Governor.
Republican strength is strong
est in the urban areas. The ball
ance Of voting power gradually
is shifting to urban areas-like
Northern Virginia. Young people
in the urban areas have been
made especially welcome in Re-
publican ranks. while the Demo-
Gratis have relied on their eStab-
lished courthouse organizations
dominated by older office-holders
Ito maintain the upper political
hand.
This forebodes rough going for
the Democratic Party in the not
too-distant future. and Mr.. Al
mond apparently realizes that
now is the time for Democrats
to look ahead. instead of resting
on their following laurels.

The BATTLE FOR WATER
Droug hit: Present Problem, Future Threat
Next Cycle May Be Rough

run as short as seven years or as
long as II. averages about 11.3
years. This parallels the length
of time our wet and dry weather
cycles seem to run. Thus United
States weather during the l92Os
was considerably wetter than
average. In the 1930s it was quite
dry and produced the dust bowls
Of the Great Plains. In the 1905
1t was again very wet.
The present period" say the
experts. presumably 1952-1962. is
running very dry in accordance
with this large-scale cycle"
Experienced meteorologists and
climatologists have reservations
about various aspects Of the sun
spot theory. but they do not deny
there are certain rhythmic varia-
tons in the amount Of continental
rainfall.
Trouble in 70?
Assuming the cycles continue in
the pattern they have been fol-
lowing, the next set Of dry years
should be starting just about the
time fresh-water consumption be-
gins to double the current rate,
lie. around 1878.
Apparently the dry cycles Of
the 1905 have been. so far, q
little less dry than they we're in
the 1905. The wet cycles have
been slightly wetter. But this
trend. which is by no means great
enough to offset increasing water
use, may not continue. In any
case, it is possible that the dry
cycle of the 1905 will produce as
much as 10 per cent less than
normal rainfall.
For those times, and under the
circumstances. the resulting short
ages are likely to be far more
serious than those of today. And
today's are bad enough.
Last year, for example, the AS
ISOLATED Press conducted Nation-
wide survey of cities and States
with water problems brought on
by the present dry cycle. Count
less communities all over the
country" 1t disclosed. ARE sud-
denly discovering their water IA
cilities Just won't do the job any
more. During the 1888 drought
only three States in the entire
Nation, Idaho, Mississippi and
Rhode Island. reported no water
shortage problems,
Compromising the difficulty Of
securing enough initial fresh
water are such increasing COM
plications as pollution. the in
vasion Of fresh water tables by
salt water. erosion and the like.
The Cost Will Rise
This is not to suggest totally
bleak outlook. Water problems
in the future will doubtless be
solved. But they seem unlikely
to be solved without a great deal
more effort.
Many experts believe that by
the time the next dry-weather
cycle comes around 1t will be i'm
possible to handle national water
needs unless there have been adj
vanceS in four basic directions:
sterilization of underground
water, regulation and storage Of
runoff water. conversion Of salt
water to fresh. and weather modi-
fication and control.
Even If the water problems Of
that day are dispelled by greater
storage and new techniques. 1t is
not likely that water will ever
again be as cheap as 1t is today.
Today's youngsters. whose parents
are generally paying from 20
cents 10 40 cents per 1000 gall
Ions for water, may by 1857 be

many working wives.
Heavy mortgages are the rule
and most Levittown families are
homeowners for the first time.
Mortgage payments plus payments
on the necessary automobile and
the new household furniture make
household budgeting major prob
lem.
An average Levittown home
owner pays almost 5000 a year
in property taxes. In addition,
he is charged for street lights

for garbage collection ($I7 a

the public parks and Fairgrounds.

and Trenton.
Until William Myers. jr., and his
family came to Levittown, it was
an all-white community. Just
outside its boundary line, how
ever. is Bloomdale Gardens, an
integrated 70-family housing de-
velopment occupied mostly by
Negroes. This was the home of
the Myers family until they
bought in Levittown
Negro children from Bloomdale
Gardens attend classes with the
white children of Levittown at
the integrated Emerson elemen-
tary school.
The people Of Levittown have
been aroused over the coming Of
the Negro to the community.
However, some reports on their
reaction have been exaggerated.
The MODS, which consisted of sew
eral hundred persons. including
many youngsters and curiosity
seekers.
There have been no riots. A
few stones were thrown. mostly
by teen-agers, but the only dam
ages to the house were two broken
picture windows on the day an
nouncement of Mr.. Myers pur-
chase was made.
Since the MyerSeS bought. and
before police restricted the area,
a steady stream of automobiles
filed past the house. hoping to get
a look at the man who dared.
Cite Economic Concern
In discussing the situation. citi-
zens of the community say the
economic reason is the principal
one behind their opposition to
Negroes. They say they fear
panic" selling and a subsequent
heavy property value loss.
They explain that they had
understood that Levittown would
remain all white and now we're
afraid our investments will be
ruined"
The feelings Of the people can
best be drawn from statements
issued by two recently formed
organizations. One, the Citizens
Committee for LeVittown, headed
by a Protestant minister. has de-
plored any action taken against
the Myers family.
The other. the Levittown Better
ment Association. is trying to get
rid of the Negro family. but not
by violence. Its president. James
Newell. has stated that his group
is opposed to violence and illegal
forms of pressure, but that it will
try to convince the Myers family
that it is in their best interest to
leave.

= A-A-S = A~AASASAN
Ours may be the last American
generation to know the blessings
Of abundant water. No one is
going thirsty during the current
dry summer along the Eastern
Seaboard. but there is no guar
antee people won't go thirsty in
the next ''dryy decade unless
radical new tecnniques Of fresh
water acquisition are developed
and much greater storage facil-
tiles devised.
1t doesn't require mathematical
genius to see why.
Right now the United States is
thought to be consuming fresh
water at the rate of 200 billion
gallons per day for all purposes
industry. irrigation and personal.
Psychologists say that IL current
trends in population growth and
water needs are projected ahead
to 1875 the water consumption
level will reach about 400 billion
gallons day.
There are three big reasons for
the rapid acceleration: More peo-
pie. more industry. greater water
demands by both.
In 1900 municipal water used
by or on behalf of residents
averaged less than IS gallons per
person per day. By 1850 it was
1873 gallons. If the same ratio Of
increase is maintained. by 1875
the per capita use should be
around IT'S gallons for the Ma
tons estimated 228 million popu-
lation-or 40 billion gallons per
day.
Since this water would account
for only 10 per cent of total fresh
water used by that time, it is clear
that agriculture and industry are
the real gluttons-and that their
appetites are growing rapidly.
Supply Is Constont
Whatever the cause Of increased
consumption, the supply stays
constant.
On the basis Of records kept
over 62-year period, the United
States experiences an average
daily precipitation runoff Of about
800 billion gallons. While this is
more than double the expected
water consumption rate by 1915,
present storage facilities such as
dams and reservoirs are capable
OF capturing only about 20 per
cent Of the runof.
Standing alone these figures
give a distorted view of the true
picture, for much of the daily
runoff which is not stored is new
ertheless used. Moreover, runoff
represents only about a fifth OF
the total precipitation, and a good
deal OF the additional rain or
snow eventually finds its way back
TO underground water tables.
However, since % between rs
and 80 per cent Of all fresh water
used in the Nation does come from
runoff; % it will never be pos
sible to capture or use a large per-
centage OF the total runoff. and
90 underground water is being
consumed faster than it is being
restored-the figures do show how
rapidly we are reaching a criti-
cal point in the ratio Of water
consumed to water available.
Chances seem good that the
country will get through the pres
ent dry period without too much
economic upheaval.
But note the long range weather
predictions.
In recent years there has been
tendency TO relate weather
cycles to solar radiation in gen.
eral and sun-spot activity in
particular.

But he went out Of his way to
shake hands and exchange nice
ties last week with Delegates
Omer HirSt and John C. Webb,
who haven't exactly been organ
ization men. Mr.. Webb in par
ticular has been critical of State
Democratic leadership, and on one
occasion was quoted as saying II q
more acceptable" candidate than
Mr.. Almond filed he would support
him.
The Segregation Issue
Segregation has been the prin-
cipal issue dividing Mr.. Hirst and
Mr.. Webb from State Democratic
leaders. Both voted against Gov.
Stanley's fund CUTOFF, school clos
ing legislation at the last session
Of the General Assembly.
Mr.. Almond has shown no signs
Of abandoning the massive re-
SiStance" course charted by Gov.
Stanley and Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat Of Virginia. to deal with the
migration problem, but he has
left room for speculation that diff
ferent tactics might be used If he
becomes Governor. He has prom
iSed to use all legal and honor
able means available" to fight in
tegration without specifying how
he will go about it.
If he manages to maintain this
somewhat vague position through
out the campaign. the Democratic
ticket may present a more united
front than had been expected in
the Northern Virginia area.
Several explanations might be
offered for Mr.. Almonds apparent
determination to carry Northern
Virginia in November.
