Joab said. He had finished the great wedge of custard
pie and begun on the extra piece Diey slid onto his
plate. Then he stood up, fine, eager young with
no more sense than month-old pup.
DO you want cake for supper tomorrow" Dilley
asked.
Pie he said He patted her head and departed,
whistling.
why don't you keep some of those young fellows

found gold mine. Dilley had thick soup that tasted
like ambroSa and new kind of pie she'd made that at
last caught Joab's attention.
Have we got the best cook in the Oregon country
here in our mdst?' he inquired of Dilley's brother
Abel, beginning his third piece. We've got to keep
this girl with us the rest Of life You'll have to take
job in the bank and live in Salem'

Joab said, "You're wrong, Abel. You're to ride in
tomorrow morning and see the banker His best clerk

And then, he said complacently you and will build
house, and Dley will cook for all Of u.s. because the
bankers daughter doesn't know pot from pan."
Everybody was speeches. but Joab didn't even
notice. He explained that he had everything settled
just so he finished one more chore. The banker had
heard of some stock he wanted buy up on haIfwld

Joab rode of on his horse.
He was gone most of every day, but he came home
nights to enjoy DIeys cooking and tell how things
going. Diey always had hot food ready and Joab
welcome, although he had to sleep blankets in the

The consultant said he would

In answer to a question from

The general reassessment

Assuming that he worked
full time every working day,

established by a formal resolu-

never was altered.

Dalton Sees Lift
10 Hopes From
Court


RICHMOND. oct. rs R.
Republican Ted Dalton said
yesterday the Pupil Placement
Act had been held invalid BY
the Federal courts and to 'pre-
tend otherwise invites disaster"
The o. o. p. candidate for
Governor said he felt his cam
Ipaign had been given . lift
lby the Supreme Courts re-
fusal TO review the lower court
decision. He saw IN the court
action proof Of his contention
that the act offered TO shield
for localities against integra-
ton.
Mr.. Dalton appeared more
optimistic than previously about
his chances as he read q pre-
pared statement to newsmen.
He commented that he felt
he had made up much Of the
ground lost when Federal troops
were sent to Little Rock.
II believe the people are be-
coming aware that I had no
more to do with what hap
pened at Little Rock than ]
had with the eight Democratic
appointees and one Republican
on the Supreme Court who
handed down the desegregation
decision" he said.
The State Senator pumped
anew for his locally admins
tered pupil assignment plan. He
said this would hold OF the
chaos Virginia faces under the
Democrats program Of massive
resistance, which he said would
soon fall under Federal court
orders.
As for Governor Stanley's
remark after the Supreme
Court action Of last Monday
that Virginia had an orderly
course Of action to pursue. Mr..
Dalton said:
This Is. Of course. absurd
but typical Of his blind leader
ship. This Is the sort Of thing
we want to avoid for the next
four years when reason must
replace the no comment and
no action program.

CAMPAIGN TALK
ON MENTAL ILLS
STIRS FRENcHMAN

County last night to watch
American politics at work.
After listening to several
hours Of debate among
candidates for the House
Of Delegates in Fairfax
County and Falls Church,
Mr.. Andreani commented
that he was impressed by
the emphasis on local IS
sues. In France. it seems.
people are more concerned
with national issues rather
than such mundane things
as highway ALLEGATIONS and
school construction.
But he was even more
impressed BY something
else he heard the candi-

mental health. He asked:

Maryland planners were told
yesterday that the controver-
sial proposed water filtration
plant at Watts Branch. in the
| Potomac area Of Montgomery
County. can be built TO con-
form with the general tone OF
the residential community.
DR.. Abel WoIman, consultant
10 the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission said the
structure could be built Of
masonry and that there il
nothing inherent in the design
that would bar this from being
|as attractive IS any (structure)
|in the area. "
The consuitant made the re-
marks at q conference Of the
|WSSC and the Maryland-Na-
|tional Capital Park and PLAN
ming Commission, which has
been asked 70 give an opinion
on the location.
The planning commissions
technical stan has drawn up
q report suggesting that the
water intake plant be located
upstream on the Potomac Riv-
er at Great Falls. but the COM
mission has said 1t win have
TO hear more arguments on the
question before acting.

DR.. Woman said arguments
|of the opponents boil down
TO 4 don't want 1t In my neigh
borhood; put 1t In somebody
else's."
"As q planner. I'm not par
ticularly impressed with that
argument" he said.
Residents Of the area have
been opposing the move since
the WSSC announced the loca-
ton Of the s2e.5 million plant
some months ago. They con.
tend the industrial type"
structure would hurt property
values in the area and detract
from the beauty Of the coun-
tryside.
DR.. Wolman said the plant
would not be an industrial one
and he used examples Of where
such plants In other sections of
the country enhanced rather
than detracted from the sur
rounding neighborhood.
He disputed earlier state
ments by the opponents that
other sites along the Potomac
would be just as good as the
one at Watts Branch. His rec
concentrations were made, he
said. after two years study,
whereas the opponents hired a
consultant who spent only 4 "a
days on his study.
Site LESS Expensive"
Mr.. Wolman outlined his
reasons for the selection Of
Watts Branch as:
/. 1t offers the best location
for taking and distributing
water TO the customers.
2. It Is substantially less ex-
pensive. both In original cost
and operation.
3. It would be able to use
impounded water from a pro-
posed dam at River Bend,
which Mr.. Wolman said Is in
evitable.
