Virginia road builders are
about to wiring dry a swamp in
Alexandria to make it suitable
as a roadbed for the Capital
beltway.
The scene Of the drying-out
operation is the $11 million
Route l interchange leading to
the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
The project is one of the big
gest In the entire interstate
system.
A sand drain treatment Of
the swamp is one Of the meth
DDS the highway builders plan
to use.
Another part Of the marsh
has already been conquered by
dredging and refilling. For the
interchange'S ramps and
bridges, miles Of pile founda-
ton have been sunk into the
40-foot deep muck.
First Use by Virginia
But the sand drain device
marks the first time it has been
used by the Virginia Highway
Department. It also is being
used along parts of the Ana
costa freeway. Several years
ago it was successfully used in
construction Of portions Of the
New Jersey turnpike.
Basically, the sand drain
treatment is a series Of col
umnS Of fine sand sunk into
the muck. The top Of the marsh
is covered with a layer Of sand
and then earth is piled high on
the marsh to act as a weight.
The pressure Of this weight
forces the muck to consolidate
and the moisture seeps into the
sand columns. The water then
moves along the sand columns
and either runs off along the
top sand layer or into the firm
soil beneath the muck.
Is Months Needed
Laboratory tests made in ad-
vance show that it will take
about 13 months before the soft
marshy soil is squeezed firm
enough to Withstand the weight
Of the expreSsway.
II the expreSSway were put
into place too soon, 1t would
mean too much settling would
take place in the foundation,
resulting in damage to the
roadway.
The man in charge Of the
operation is Eugene P. Rausa,
a soils engineer representing
the conSultantS hired by the
Virginia Highway Department.
He said the sand drains are
placed about nine or 10 feet

Harrison,
Boothe Clash
On Integration
By ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer


A long-range exchange be-
tween two candidates on op-
posing tickets-who are not
running against each other
broke out in Virginia'S Demo-
cratic primary campaign yes
terday over integration in pub
lie schools.
Albertis s. Harrison, jr.,
speaking at Virginia Beach, ac-
cused Alexandria State Senator
Armistead L. Boothe of seeking
to bring about integration
with the least possible delay"
In Alexandria, Mr.. Boothe re-
torted, Upon my sacred honor
I have never advocated inte-
grafton p. I was advised sew
eral weeks ago that the power
full forces supporting my op-
ponent, State Senator Mills E.
Goodwin, would raise the inte-
grafton issue to offset my ex-
posure Of Mr.. Godwin's record
on education"
Most Of the Byrd organiza-
ton is backing the ticket head
ed by Mr.. Harrison as candi-
date for Governor and Mr..
Goodwin for lieutenant-gover-
nor.
Mr.. Boothe, running for
lieutenant governor, is on an
opposing ticket headed by the
present acknowledgement A.
E. s. Stephens, as the candidate
for the top post.
Quotes Story
Mr.. Harrison quoted an 1S-
month-old story in a New
Hampshire weekly newspaper
on a speech made by Mr.. Boothe
to Colby Junior College. The
story asserted Mr.. Boothe had
"upbraided" southernors for
resisting integration and as de-
claring that attitude as "un-
realistic"
Mr.. Harrison said Mr..
Boothe's attitude SIS COM
pletely contrary to, and at odds
with. the policy that Virginia
has followed, and the wishes of
the overwhelming majority of
the people Of this State"
Mr.. Boothe replied, II am
sick at heart that my friend,
AlbertiS Harrison. would bring
the segregation issue into this
campaign and attempt to use
against me a newspaper story
which was thrown at me and
completely discredited during
my 1859 senatorial campaign.
In the words of the director of
publicity Of my daughters
college COLBY, where I spoke
on October IL, 1859, The article
which appeared in the Warner,
IN. HI paper is a fabrication
Of someone's imagination"
Mr.. Boothe said the news
paper did not have a reporter
present for his speech and the
story did not correctly reflect
his remarks.
Meanwhile, industrial devel-
opment was the theme Of Lieu
tant- Governor Stephens as he
brought his campaign for the
gubernatorial nomination back
to Northern Virginia last night
to speak before the Alexandria
Junior Chamber Of Commerce
at the Courthouse Country Club
near Fairfax.
II favor a separate depart
'ment Of industrial develop
ment," Mr.. Stephens said. 7
have made it clear that I feel
further study is not necessary
and that to advocate 1t is to
merely avoid q definite pro-
gram Of action"
His opponent, Mr.. Harrison,
has urged that a study be made
to find the best means Of get
ting industry to locate in the
State.

Control Clinic

Crabgrass can be controlled, says
John A. Covert, urban assistant,
University of Delaware. The de-
partment of agronomy has pre-
pared to prove it; they're plan
ming crabgrass control clinic to
show the results of their expert
mental work. Covert says, Is diff
ferent chemical crabgrass control
methods have been tested in the
experimental plots at Agricultural
Hall, Newark The results vary
from practically no results to 80
percent control.
The crabgraSs control clinic will
be held September 13 at 700 pm.
at Agricultural Hall The meeting
will give those interested in a
good lawn chance to see these
experimental plots and learn how
to solve the crabgHass problem. Ag-
economists from the University will
be there to answer questions and
help solve individual problems.

get. They say that Mantle and
Maris aren't feeling the pressure
but | don't think you can help 1t.
1t is always in the back of your
mind"
The now. grazing Bauman is a
firm believer in swinging just TO
get the base hits and letting the
home runs take care of them
selves"
In 1854. Bauman won the bat
ting title with an even 400 mark
that included 1919 hits in 13S games.
A better than average first base
man. he also led the league in
fielding with a 800 average.
In the same year he Tailed
1888 runs, had 456 total bases, 224
runs batted in, dozen sacrifice
flies and $50 walks. All were sea-
sonal tops in the loop.
Bauman, a graduate of Oklahoma
City High School, broke into or
ganized baseball in 1941, and after
the war came back with Amarillo
and later Hartford of the Eastern
League. At Amarillo he played with
Bob Orues who later tied Joe
Howser's old mark Of 50 home
runs.
Not one-shot deal, Bauman's
homer hitting feats were almost
legendary. New Mexico ranchers
used to pitch dollar bills at him
as he crossed home plate after hit
ting home run.
Playing for Artesia in 1852 and
1853, Bauman hit so and SO home
runs. In 1855, his last full year,
he banged out AZ.
Although Joe isn't too well rec
ognized by baseball in general, his
name is almost a household word
in this city Of 10000 on the banks
of the Hondo River.
AS a final word of advice to
Mantle. Maris and whoever ap-
pears in the future to challenge
a record, Bauman warns that you
are never over the hump until you
break ii"
And Joe should know.

Do You Know Your

entitled "a b C's of Good Lawns"
His use of the alphabet in lawn
care is as follows:
A good seed mixture is first

ID o not apply lime too often
+ nough water in dry weather
F requent mowings at Is to ?

work part and say that these bull
letins are available at our extern
sion office, Ralph said. These bull
letins and several others pertain

Mr.. Phillips recommends that
new lawns be seeded between Aug.

grass should reach "a height of at
