Defiance Costly

II has been estimated that fed
eralizing the Arkansas National
guards to prevent defiance Of a
federal court order at Central
hi school will amount to nearly
$3,7500O0,
This estimate was based on ex-
penditures thru last week and
was made by the state Military
department.
The guards were federalized
when it became necessary for
Eisenhower to send troops into
Little Rock to enforce a federal
court order, that Faubus had
used the power Of his office to
defy.

/. Despite the trouble over
school indignation that have &C.
Cured in the last two years, the
southern Negro is more inclined
to feel that the Indignation dis
pute has helped rather than hurt
him.
Although many Negroes who
were interviewed said that they
were not sure whether the dis
pute had helped or hurt the vote
among those who expressed an
opinion was Stool that it had
helped.
We'll, I think it's helped US, -
said a 65-year-old retired rail
road worker from Alabama, its

hind the increase in the approval
vote ia that the southern Negro
has come to feel today that i
would almost be disloyal to hi
race if he were not to approve.
In short, the courts ruling ha
become a sort of symbol for tn

Does q man-made dam wreck

When once-unspoiled wilder
ness IS drowned because Of CIV
ilization's needs. do the wild
things fade and disappear
Are dams and artificial lakes
q bane or q blessing compared
to the life and surroundings
that used to be?
These questions have been
raised repeatedly - with con-
siderable heat---in the cnntin-
uing debate on proposals for
Q major water storage dam on
the Potomac River upstream
from Metropolitan Washington,
It's . favorite challenge made
by the people who damn the
dam that engineers say Is es-
sentiaI to guarantee the areas
drinking water supply OF the
future.
20 Miles From WASHINGTON
For an answer you need look
no farther than 20 miles from
downtown washington. The
answer Is supplied BY the two
800-acre lakes impounded BY
the Brighton and Rocky Gorge
dams on the Patuxent kiver in
nearby Maryland.
The big concrete water bar
riers were built as long ago as
IL years by the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion. The exclusive purpose,
admirably served to date. Is TO
supply drinking water for the
ever-burgeoning population Of
the Maryland suburbs. Brigh-
ton Dam. completed in 1913, is
located midway between
Brookevilie and Clarksville,
Rocky Gorge. finished three
years ago. stands just west Of
| Laurel.
Each has q storage capacity
Of six billion gallons or more
This means the once unpreten-
tious little stream bubbline
through its woods and farm
surrounded gorge in that area
is now beneath as much as i3C
feet Of water.
A shame? Let's see.
100000 visit Daily
Where In previous years the
people--ineluding the natives
who walked the Patuxent's
banks and dropped q fishina
line into its waters numbered
perhaps q few hundred each
year, the estimated annual
head-count I visitors now L
placed at 100000.
Nor do these thousands make
the trip to curse and shake
their fists at the lakes. WSSC-
made. They picnic, they boat
they fish. they go horseback
riding or they just stand soak
ling up the peace Of quiet
waters. woods and country

Coming from points as fal
AWAY as Baltimore and Fred

hall road, fishing-type visitors
alone last year totaled nearly
1000 at both reservoirs. And
