Stain Easy
To Remove

A grass stain is easy to re-
move if you take prompt ac-
tion and use the right method,
according to Kent county home

Remove any surface grass or

Senator Harry Byrd, Demo-
crat of Virginia, will oppose
construction of "any big dams
on the Potomac River between
here and Harpers Ferry"
The powerful Senator was
asked yesterday for his reaction
to a recommendation by Col.
Warren johnson, Army district
engineer, that a major dam be
erected on the Potomac at
Block House Point just below
Seneca Creek. a location about
6 miles upstream from Great
Falls.
II haven't had a chance to
see the Seneca dam proposal. "
said Senator Byrd, "but my
feeling is that the Potomac
should not be damned up.
They can get plenty of
water by damming it up in the
mountains in West Virginia"
Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland, said that while he
favors the overall plan for de-
velopment of the Potomac
River, he would be opposed, "as
I have in the past. to any big
dam at River Bend or Seneca.
The Maryland Senator said
he also would be strongly op-
posed to any dam which would
flood the Middletown Valley ir
Maryland.

sentative Smith won't go for 1t.

DR.. Ira NJ Gabrielson, chair
man of the Co-ordinating Com
|mittee on the Potomac River
Valley, . group opposed to big
dams, said he has not had an
opportunity to study the Seneca
proposal.
However" he said, "if this
dam would flood a lot of the
Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal, I'm
against it."
Col. johnson said one ad-
vantage of the Seneca dam over
10 River Bend impoundment is
that 1t would leave untouched
nearly all of the portion Of the
Gao near Washington now
used for water recreation
purposes.
However, the Seneca dam
would flood some 80 miles of
the historic canal.

Seneca dam ana other i'm
poundments recommended by

However, Senator Beall en-
phasized that he has not yet
had an opportunity to study
Col. Johnson's plan in detail.
Another powerful Virginia
Democratic Congressman, Rep
resentative Smith, who in the
past has strongly opposed con,
stTuction of q major dam al
River Bend, was not immedi-
ately available for comment on
the Seneca proposal.
The Seneca dam Is a Substi-
tute for the controversial River
Bend reservoir which was un-
successfully proposed by the
Army engineers in 1916. The
Seneca site is 4 miles upstream
from River Bend.
The Seneca dam would be
"a feet high from the bed oi
the river, some 80. feet lower
than the River Bend dam pre-
viously recommended.
The Seneca dam would back
up water some 35 miles to neal

Poll Workers
Pay Plan Gets
Explanation

Charges by supporters of
gubernatorial candidate David
Hume that Montgomery County
Mahoney-Lee forces we're re-
cruiting paid poll workers
brought explanations from the
Mahoney camp today.
Richard Salem, a member of
Mr.. Hume's campaign fact
squad" said that the Mahoney
forces had broken precedent in
Montgomery by offering college
students Sl.25-an-hour to hand
out literature at the polls in.
Tuesdays primary.
Frank Zelenka. campaign
manager of the Mahoney
forces, said that the offer did
not come from the local Ma
honey ticket but was an in
dividual action taken by Henry
M. Balm. jr.. who had volun-
teered to recruit poll workers
for the 7th election district.
Mr.. Balm said he found he
needed workers for the heavily
Republican Chevy Chase pre-
cincts. He said that the large
number of candidates and tick
cts in the Democratic primary
made it difficult to get workers
in precincts with large G. o. p.
registration and large num-
bers of Federal employees. re-
stricted from political activity
by the Hatch Act.
Mr.. Balm said he decided to
offer the $1.25-an-hour to get
about q dozen students to help
him Tuesday. He said he would
pay them "out Of my own
pocket, as part Of my cam
paign contribution"
Mr.. Salem. in a press state
ment, questioned whether the
money for the poll workers was
hot coming from State Ma
honey headquarters in Balti-
more, where paid poll workers
has become an issue in the
campaign. 1t is tied up with
charges that boss rule" is per-
petuated in some Baltimore
districts by paying large sums
to poll workers" who are ex-
pected to deliver the votes of
their families.
Mr.. Zalenka said. however,
that the Democrats for Prog
ress, the Montgomery County
arm supporting the gubernato-
rial candidacy of George P
Mahoney. has mot received q
cent from the State campaign
treasury" He said all money
for the campaign here has been
collected in the county.
