Both VieuUs Mistaken

WITH neither of these two views does this
" column agree. The Birmingham News, it
seems, forgets that totalitarianism derives not
from an theology, but from pressure of economic
forces Government ineptitude poverty, jobleSs-
ness moral decay, general national bankruptcy
all OF which send masses Of people turning, in
desperation, to strong man in the sadly false
belief that he will bring them freedom.
True, the United States was founded as
haven for the oppressed, the bounded and the
harried. But that was good virtually only as
long as America remained undeveloped indus
trialy and had no huge unemployment prob
lem of its own to deal with
While this column agrees with the Moseley
thesis that it is foolish and dangerous to add
to our own human problems, in light of facts
which are little short of horrifyng, still it seems
his solution is as weak as it is unfair
we say we are human enough to recognize
their right to human life, it is inhuman to say:
Here, we'll save you, but you must suffer your
right hand to be cut off,"
Instead, why admit them at all? The uues
ton is not put from brutality from spirit of
disregard Of the horrors of life under political
persecution or from objections as to race or
creed.

son, Riggie, miraculously escaped
injury when about 40 slugs from a
shotgun ratified against the side
of the car and in the open window
on the drivers side as he drove
along the lonely Viers Mill Road,
about one mile east Of Rockville,
late yesterday.
POLICE IN SEARCH
County police at headquarters
here today said that while they
felt confident that the shot was
unintentional, it was too serious a
thing to let drop and that every
effort is being made to apprehend
the guilty person.
According to DR.. Wagner, he
was taking his family for drive
and got on the Viers Mill Road
by accident. He continued to fol-
low it, believing it would be a
short cut to Silver Spring, he said.
However, he found the road
closed about two miles from Rock
vile and had turned around and
was coming back at the time the
shot was fired. He said today:
1--WE were driving along slowly
when there was a report like a
car backfire and the slugs
ratified on the side of the car
and in the window, missing me
by inches.
AIDED IN HUNT
IT drove on to Rockville and
reported the incident to the po-
lice and aided them in the
search for more than an hour.
IT don't know whether the
shot was fired at me intention
ally or in the belief that it was
someone else, or whether it was
someone hunting birds. But, re
CARELESS, it is a serious thing and
could easily have resulted in in
juries to myself or family"
Police said the shot had ap-
parently been fired from a dis
lance of about 100 yards and for
that reason they believed it was
someone hunting in the nearby
fields. Although they searched
the area thoroughly, no empty
shells were found.

a tremendous edge.
But are thoughtful citizens likely to approve
such misuse of taxpayers money? After all, the
funds which the New Dealers are so lavShly
1adling out are not supplied exclusively by citizens
favoring the New Deal. It would not be far from
the truth to say that at least twothirds Of all
such funds are garnered from individuals and
corporations critical Of President Roosevelt's
more-radical New Deal proposals and policies.
Naturally misuse of money gouged from tax
payers to win the election of pro-AdminiStration
candidates is not only keenly resented, but in
cites fresh alarm over the prospect of entrench-
ing and perpetuating the party in power.

army and national guard. It's de-
ficiencics as we'll as those of the

both are vital, will rot be effec-
