Almond Hits
Troop Use in
Rock

CHURCHLAND. Va. Sept. %
R.-J. Lindsay Almond, jr..
said today the Republican Party
has returned to its extreme
actions used during the Re-
construction period" by sending
Federal troops to Little Rock
Ark.
To-day it's Little Rock" Mr.
Almond said. Tomorrow where
will the bayonets of the Federal
Government strike? Are the
Army advertising experts, at
this moment, preparing signs
proclaiming Join the Army and
See the South?"
1.-The steps that the President
took" in using Federal troops
in the Little Rock school situa-
ton ARE the most onerous Ex-
ecutive tranSgreSSion of conSti-
tutional rights in the history OF
this country" Mr.. Almond said.
He said it is conceivable that
the same ruthless action might
well be taken to curb and re-
strain the voice of the great
newspaper industry in
violation Of the constitutional
freedom of the press.
1T could also well mean that
the legitimate rights Of Amer
lean labor would be subjected
to the ruthless edicts of a police
state the Federal Govern
ment may be able to proclaim
that all is quiet on the Little
Rock front. Just as Russia has
claimed that all is quiet on the
Budapest front"

But their testimony was cut
off by Arthur B. Stewart, chair

Stewards question:
do you have any facts?"
you won't let me give any"
exclaimed Mr.. Barry and left
the witness chair.
Walter F. Mulligan, president
of the Prince Georges County
Civic Federation, said the dis
charged water would flood sur
rounding land. Il think this is
pertinent to the hearing" he
said.
Mr.. Stewart disagreed. Mr..
Mulligan said later he thought
the test gas would endanger the
areas water supply.
Others Voice Protests
Mrs. Parthia Rea, association
president. was interrupted re-
peatedly by the board when
she rose to protest granting the
permit. Mrs. Rea asked the
county commissioner last Fri.
day to obtain a ruling from the
Maryland attorney general on
whether it is legal to store gas
in underground areas holding
fresh water.
James Rea, her son, said area
residents believe the inert gas
would be harmful to the water
supply, despite company claims
that it would not.
Heating the water in the
generators may raise the bac.
terra count, make the water
unpalatable and create stream
erosion" he said.
DR.. Singewald emphasized
that the use Of the we'll
planned by the company was
something done every day
with no one adversely affected"

Gas Company Expected
To Get Okoy for Well

Permission for the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. to drill a 400
foot well in southern Prince
Georges County appeared prob
able yesterday after Maryland
water control officials disputed
objections to the we'll from resi-
dents of the area at a public
hearing.
The company is seeking per-
mission to operate the we'll,
one and a half miles northwest
Of TB, in order to cool general.
ing equipment to be used to
inject inert gas into a 300-acre
test storage area 1900 to 1900
feet below the surface.
The Maryland Department of
Geology, Mines and Water Re-
sources, which heard the APP
plication yesterday in the
Prince Georges County Court
house in Upper Marlboro,
granted the permit for test
storage of the gas last July.
No iii Effects Seen
DR.. Joseph Singlewald, de-
partment director, told q group
of about 35 persons that there
would be mo adverse effects On
water storage or ground forma-
tons. The worst that could
happen would be a drop of the
water level a few feet during
the seven-month test period.
There would be no damage to
any other well, and the level
would rise again at the end
Of the test period" he said.
Howard B. Noyes, senior vice
president of the company, tes-
titled the water will not be
impaired in quality or purity"
and will be discharged at at
mospheric temperature into a
nearby branch of Piscataway
Greek. He said the company
plans to use an average Of
$4,000 gallons a day beginning
in December.
DR.. Singewald said the de-
partment probably will an
nounce its decision this week.
Vigorous protests were regis

Bucker in '48
Asks Apology

Marshall j. Beverley, former
Mayor OF Alexandria who
claims to be the first man to
nominate Gen. Eisenhower for
President. today asked the
White House to apologize to
the South" for ordering Fed
eral troops to Little Rock.
Mr.. Beverley. who placed the
Presidents name before the
l948 Democratic State Conven.
ton. wrote the President that
your action is an example of
irresponsible government"
Mr.. Beverley is a strong sup
porter Of the Virginia Demo-
cratic organization headed by
Senator Harry F. Byrd. He led
the Democrats-for Eisenhower
movement last year. That or
ganization gave its blessing to
Gen. Eisenhower when the
State convention formally NOM
mated him for President over
Harry S. Truman in 1913. Gen.
Eisenhower declined to run and
accepted the presidency Of Co.
lumbia University.
Il am writing you as a Dem
ocrat. one Of 350,0 Virginians
who voted for you because we
had faith and belief in your
principles as a man who would
lead this great Nation" Mr..
Beverley wrote.
"Mr. President. you deplore
the use Of force by Gov. Faubus,
who was acting as Governor Of
his State to keep peace and Or
der. then you ordered Federal
troops after stating you would
not do so. To me. Mr.. Presi-
dent, as one who admired you
so greatly. 1t was a blow below
the belt and the greatest blow
to the States rights since Re-
construction days.

his campaign to Fairfax or

But the joint platform APP
pearance. the only one Of Its
kind scheduled thus far priol
to the November 5 election
could be the highlight of the
campaign.
Almond Has Plan
Mr.. Almond. seeking polit-
ical advantage from recent de-
velopments in the Little Rock
school crisis, claims he has a
plan Of his own to meet the
problem in Virginia. He has
called it his basket of eggs"
which he has, thus far, de-
clined to disclose because, he
said. that would give the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
an advance tipoff.
Mr.. Dalton, also no integra-
zionist. has been asking Mr..
Almond ever since the cam
paign reached the active
stages. what he has to offer.
Specifically. he wants to know
If Mr.. Almond. If elected Gov
ernor, would invoke the States
laws and close public schools
which might be forced to inte-
crate under Federal court or
der.
The Republican says his RI
val owes It to the people to
reveal his basket of eggs and
let 1t be tested in the crucible
OF public debate prior to the
election.
The only time the two have
met before was early in the
summer when the General AS
sembly was honored at the
jamestown Festival. That was
only a casual encounter. how
ever. and failed to generate
any friction.
Urges Similar Treatment
Two weeks ago Mr.. Dalton
appeared before the Norfolk
Junior Chamber OF Commerce
and was asked about his posi-
ton on public school segrega-
ton. At the conclusion of the
meeting he noted that Mr.. AL
mond was to appear later and
suggested that his adversary
be given similar treatment.
But, strangely, it seemed to
some. Mr.. Almonds appearance
before that group last week
