BY JOHN w. STEPP

Johnny -come-lately to the Po-
tomac River Basin is irrigation.
For decades this means of
supplying water to the soil was
regarded as an exclusive in
stitution of the so-called arid
West. Little thought was given
to the possibility that the prac-
tice would spread elsewhere.
In recent years, however, ir-
rigation has invaded the humid
East = including the Potomac
River watershed to a large de-
gree.
It's not that the East is ne
cessarily becoming a desert,
Farmers simply have come to
realize by economic calculation
that if they can manage to wa
ter their crops during the pc
riodic dry spells. they will have
more bountiful crops and more
profits.
So they dip their pumps into
the streams or into their arti-
fetal ponds and, drawing on pre-
cious water. spray their or
chards, vegetables, pastures,
forage and grain.
Raises Questions
1t means money to the growers
now. Could it contribute to the
ultimate thirst of all the in
terests of the areas along the
Potomac and its tributaries?
Few studies have been made of
this questions as it applies to the
Potomac Basin. The few that
have been made give some
startling indications. Take the
report of one private engineering
firm concerned with irrigation
along the Monocacy River, one
of the Potomac's chief tribu-
taries.
According to this report,
should the Monocacy's low flow
coincide with irrigations present
peak demands in that watershed,
there would be scarcely a drop
left to flow on down to the
Potomac.
Multiply a similar situation in
crop growing areas all over the
Potomac basin, compounded with
the water supply demand of in
dustry and an expanding popu-
lation, and there would seem to
be plenty Of justification for the
water supply studies now being
made to develop the watershed
comprehensively for the benefit
Of all interests.
Alarming Predictions
An estimated daily withdrawal
of 1863 million gallons for irri-
cation alone has been predicted
for the areas above Washington's
domestic water intakes at Great
Falls by 1875. The figure is pre-
dicted on the findings to date
Of a university professor now
undertaking a full-time study Of
the irrigation problem for one OF
the underfinanced surveys of the
Potomac.
The latest. most significant
statistics collected show that
since 1949. more than 10000

provement projects pay the pre-
vailing wage for the area. which
in virtually all cases would be
union scales.
The management side fired
the first volley here yesterday
with the introduction of the
so-called "right-to-work" bill.
Sponsors are Senators James
Weinroth, Democrat Of Cecil
County, and Clifford Friend, Re-
publican Of Garrett County.
This bill, defeated here in the
last two sessions, would have the
effect of outlawing union shop
labor contracts in Maryland.
The union shop contract. which
requires an employee to join the
union within 30 days after en-
ployment, is the strongest con-
tract available to organized labor
since the Federal Taft-Hartley
law banned the closed shop con-
tract. which made union men,
bership a condition of employ
ment.
Wedge Seen
Delegate Sickles. Prince Geor-
ges Democrat, who is regarded
as one of labor'S spokesman in
the Legislature, said the Vein
roth-Friend bill is "antiunion
security legislation. which may
be used as a wedge to defeat
legislation seeking legitimate
gains for the working man."
The labor lawyer said his pre-
vailing wage bill will be basically
the same as the measure passed
by the Legislature in 1850 but
later declared unconstitutional
because of a provision exempt
ling three Western Maryland
counties that already had local
prevailing wage laws.
He said his bill would create

termine the prevailing wage
scales for the various trades.
The labor people here also are
expected to put in a wage-and-
hour bill this session similar to
the one defeated two years ago.
which would have required Mary
land firms to pay a minimum of
rs cents an hour on a 40-hour
week.
Tax Change Accepted
The House yesterday adopted
a favorable Ways and Means
Committee reports on bills to re-
peal the nonresident income tax
for residents Of Washington and
Virginia who work in Maryland
and to prohibit construction OF
pipes and other transmission
lines across the Potomac River
without State permission.
The Potomac bill was de-
scribed by Mr.. Lee as "a little
counter-pressure" to help assure
that PEPCO builds a proposed
power generating plant on the
Montgomery side. rather the
Loudoun County (Va.) side. Of
the river.
He told the committee the util-
ity has sites on both sides but
has decided to build on a site
near Dickerson in Upper Mont
gomery. However. a bill before
Congress to permit PEPCO to
build a dam in the Potomac
adjacent to the power plant "got
hung up in the last session In
the House Rules Committee, pre-
sided over by Virginia's Repre-
sentative Smith," Mr.. Lee added
Representative Hyde, Republic
an Of Maryland, has reintro-
duced the dam authority bill
again in this session of Congress
