By CAROLYN LLOYD

AS all children do, l loved to
read of kings and queens and to
picture them in all their glory. In
"playlike" games, it was fun for
me and my playmates to dress up
in what we considered queenly
robes and treat our subjects with
the regal disdain which we thought
to be the true manner of monarchs.
AS I grew older, it was hard to
reconcile that childish conception
of monarchs with some of the pic
lures Of real kings and queens, and
l soon lost interest in the breed.
Most of the few remaining kings
are no more glamorous than Gov
ernor Hodges and have much less
actual power.
There is one left, however, who
fits my childhood picture. He seems
completely out of place in the
twentieth century, but he is one
visiting monarch who will put on
a good, kingly show while visit
ing the United States. When King
Saud of Saudi Arabia steps off
the U. S. S. Constitution in New
York, wearing flowing robes and a
gold-banded headdress, no one will
mistake him for plain business
man. Surrounded by six fierce-look-
ing bodyguards armed with gold
daggers and submachine guns and
followed by a 65-man encourage.
he will look like somthing from
the arabian Nights"
Saud is one of the late Ibn Saud's
forty sons and countless daughters,
and he has carried on his fathers
work nobly. Saud has twenty-five
sons (at the latest county. No one
has bothered to count his daugh-
tiers, as women are not important
in that part of the world. In. his
harem are from eighty to ninety
women. They are not all his legit-
innate wives, of course, since the
Koran, the Mohammedan holy
book, says that no man may have
more than four wives at time;
but doubtless the chosen, ones do
not bubble over a little thing like
a wedding ring.
Saud's harem, his numerous Cad
illacs, and fabulous palaces are
supported by royalties from Aram-

Wellfinanced propaganda of these people who
are actually, though not directly sponsoring legis-
lation calling for Federal aid to education.
In effort to determine the extent of al

to the Governors of the 48 States. OF 81 replies
II Governors expressed unequivocal opposition to
Federal aid for school construction were op-
posed with qualification. favored without quail

tons were based on the probability of Govern
ment interference with the public school systems;
indeed, there be no Federal participation
without Federal control - the historical evidence
on this point is indisputable This survey, and
other research, have proved beyond doubt that
there is no classroom shortage today to cause
national concern.
Interestingly enough the newspaper column
list, Stewart Alsop, favorite of these profes.
sional alarmists, made this observation in the
Washington Post-Times Herald of May 18th after
a survey of school conditions in Anne Arundel
and Baltimore counties: "And surely there is
something to be said for the notion that the citi.
zens of Maryland, any other state, should be
financially responsible for the education of their
children. These, at least, were the impressions
this reporter brought back from an admittedly
superficial first-hand look at the school prob.
lem. And there was one more impression -
that the teachers and officials met all admir-.
able people, were a little too much interested in
the buildings the children were taught in and
not enough in what they were taught"

Congressman Hyde
Along the Potomac

was happy to meet so many of my constitu-
ents at the public hearings held by the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors in Rockville
last week The hearings were part of an Army
Engineer Corps survey of the Potomac River
ordered by Congress-
testified in favor of a series of small dams
which would better serve the purposes of water
conservation, flood control, pollution abatement,
and recreation than would high level hydroelec-
trio dams.
1t ought to be apparent that high level dam
would soon be obsolete as a source of electric
power. With the rapid development of atomic
power means of production of electric power,
high level dams will become expensive White
Elephants. I can no justification for the con-
struction of dams for the production of public
hydroelectric power in the Potomac Valley.
The only people in favor of the dam are those
from Eastern and other sections of Maryland who
hope to get cheap electric power. The taxpayer
would have to make up the difference between
cheap rates and normal fair rates charged by
properly regulated private public utility company
1t is also interesting to note that the people who
favor these high level dams live in part of Mary
land that would not be damaged by the dams.

tainy be smart enough to figure out way to
build series of small dams which would store
up as much water the big one would, and
would not injure anyone by so doing. Examples
of these small dams are DAMS No. and near
Williamsport, Maryland
Why If we must have "big" dam, do we
have to have it so close to Washington? The high
hills near Washington to encompass it are, en-.
cheering wise, fine, but what happens after it's
built? What does it do? 1t destroys and lays
waste, only four miles from the White House,
one of the most beautiful rivers in the world -
it wipes out in fell swoop any trace of George

it was Veing with Baltimore for world com.
merce, the valuable coal and produce trade from
the West; $4,000 acres of beautiful river bottom
land would be devastated - homes uprooted; the
dry, cracked, sinking mud flats left by the dam
during the summer when the water is always
low, would create an intolerable condition which
would be impossible of eradication.
This is not pretty picture.
1 say if the engineers say Washington must
have additional water. let's see that Washington
gets additional water - but let us not go to such
an extreme as to build an 80 foot dam at it's back
door to do it.
We would be the laughing stock of the world;
undoubtedly the Russians are drinking to the
health of the United States Corps of Engineers
and wishing them WELL
To me it is unthnkable that this dam will
ever be built. The Corps of Engineers are smart
men, but we certainly have others in civilian life
who are equally as smart, and who, undoubtedly,
can find much more satisfactory solution that
will guarantee enough water from the Potomac
at any time for any kind of use, be it for drink
ing or for hydroelectric power.
1t is my understanding that we could use
what water we now have without building any
sign or big dam or a little dam, if we could
get rid of the pollution in it. understand this
would cost about 30 million dollars
We should go to any extreme land we can
afford it, to preserve the valley of the upper
Potomac.

He would be of Unreasonable assistance to

In addition to the licensing feature, the new

Persons known to be engaged in livestock
