WEEK
FOR SAVING ONES
OWN EYE-SIGHT

This is National "Save Your Wis
ion Week" The following article by
DR.. Hugh Grant Howell, of Teachers
College, Columbia University, con-
tains some good advice on the care
and protection of the eyes:
We all know the word "eyestrain."
It isn't scientific. We usually have
in mind certain signs we see in peo-
pie who are having discomfort or

work, the nearer the light, the small
amount at the source is required.
It's not difficult at all, you see, to
avoid a great deal of eye abuse if you
know how. And it is a real contribu-
ton to defense-when your good eyes
are needed for work, for spotting
planes, for safety, and what not.

Two Musical Programs
Postponed by Showers

A shower last night brought post
ponement of the concert by the
Army Air Forces Band under the
direction of 1t. ALI Heiberg at Me-
ridian Hill Park. The program will
be presented at o'clock tonight.
A crowd of $500 persons who at
tended last nights presentation N
The Chocolate Soldier" at the
Water Gate refused to be frightened
away by the shower. The entire
program was given after a l5-minute
delay.
The Army Air Forces chorus had
completed several vocal numbers.
and Corpl. Russell Friedwald, futist,
had just concluded an Arrangement
of "Fantasie," by Hue. when soft
raindrops became shower, and
spectators began to leave the park.
Following the concert tonight the
band will leave for Chicago, where

Answer Needed Now.
ms Is one of those embarrassing
questions which needs to be weighed
ana answered by British and Ameri-
Evening star., 1942-08-23

can military strategists now-today
hot next month.
These are the prospects. Anc
they are the only visible logica
prospects that even the most pru.
dent, most conservatively trained
observer of this war can report tt
the American or British people. We
cannot dodge this black outlook. We
have got to face the war in terms
of three or four more years-anc
barring little short of miracle
in terms of at least 100000, 4,0OO,-
900 Or 100000 American dead ane
wounded
But because these are the pros
poets, every American needs very
urgently to ask himself a few very
practical questions today. The most
important of all the questions, ii
seems to me, is this: Who is Ameri-
cas- most essential ally? Without
what nations active support would
Americas chances of winning the
war be most gravely endangered?
Russian Aid indispensable.
On the basis of actual and poten-
tial strength, on the basis of man
power, on the basis of proved ca
pacity of its fighting forces. on the
basis of its strategic and farflune
geographical position, there is only
one conceivable answer. Soviet Rus
sia Is the one great power which is
indispensable as an ally of the
United States-if we are going tc
win the war.
The Russian Army and Air Force
alone can assure Anglo American
victory over Nazi Germany. If Rus
sias fighting millions were suddenly
removed from the scene, they alone
would be irreplaceable. Not merely
the millions of men, but the ex-
tended points of attack-or points
of restraint such as the Russians
Far Eastern Army occupies in East
ern Siberia-would be utterly ire
placeable.
We might replace 1000 900 British
troops anywhere in Western Europe
or Africa. The United States car
never replace the much greater
number of armed Russian soldiers
nor could we ever rent any portion
OF Soviet soil on which to create an
other future second front in the
East.
Cooperation Essential.
Soviet Russia today is absolutely
vital if Germany is ever to b,
fought. If we Americans create
close understanding and co-opera
ton with Soviet Russia the United
States will have every prospect O
removing any japanese threat to tn,
Philippines and our Pacific island.
for as long as we prove capable
and far-sighted enough to cooper.
ate Loyalty with Russia. Withou,
Russia playing ball with us in the
Far East. there can be no hope fol
stability and our naval and all
forces throughout the Pacific will
have to be kept several times great
er than otherwise would be neces.
sary-at what cost in taxation, none
can guess.
1t should be plain that Soviet
Russia is indispensable to the
United States as an ally-if we
would hope to win the war, if we
can hope to create durable PAN
European structure in postwar Eu-
rope and if We. as Americans, car
hope to establish any solid align
ment OF powers in the Far East and
the Pacific.

Chairman Edmund D. Campbell
of the Arlington County Board yes
terday was assured his name will
be the only one to appear on the

Mr.. Campbell, who has the sup
port of the County Democratic
Committee, has been a member of
the board for the last three years

Charter Board Drive
Identified as Partisan,
Opponents Charge
Democrats Cite Support
Of Campaign by
Independent Party

When the Independent Party Of
Montgomery County voted support
of the movement to create Charter
Board, it identified the efforts of the
County Charter Committee as polit-
ical and partisan, 1t was charged last
night.
Meeting at Rockville, the Inde-
pendent Party last week unani-
mously adopted a resolute declaring
the only issue before the voters is
the question whether the Charter
Board shall be set up to submit a
proposed charter form of govern
ment to the voters at later date.
The County Charter Committee
has been the chief advocate of set
ting up a Charter Board.
In the latest of a series of attacks
on the Charter Committee, j. Bond
Smith and Joseph A. Cantrel, pub
licity co-chairman for the United
Democratic Organization of the
county, said the Independent Party S
action removes any doubt about the
political and partisan motives of the
Charter Committee.
"The simple truth is that both the
Charter Committee and the Fusion
Republican, Independents have been
forced by political necessity to dis
close the partisan cooperative ma
ture Of their respective hands earlier
than they had intended" the state
ment said.
They said the latest development
indicates that "the appeal of charter
is SO weak in Montgomery County
that the Charter Committee does not
have the required signatures on the
petitions to place the question on
the ballots.
They are accordingly forced to
seek partisan support from the Fu-
SION Republican, Independent Party
to be in a position to obtain the
signatures of the required 20 pei
cent of qualified voters, Smith and
Cantrel charged.

1t was indicated that more no.
tices would 60 out to other property
owners soon. The line of demarka-
tion has not been clearly established
in any public announcement by the
Army. This has resulted in consid-
erable apprehension and confusion.
People whose neighbors on both
sides have received notice to move
are uncertain about whether they
will be allowed to stay. Those who
have been told to move have not
been able to learn what they will
be paid for their land.
The Army has set up an Office in
Upper Marlboro. Md, to handle
condemnation proceedings. But in
quirers there have been told that
there will be no announcement for
some days as to the policy on price.
The land owners are afraid Gov
ernment appraisers will set values
on their property much lower than
the current market value. Prices
are inflated now, they point out,
and if they have to buy new homes

Notices Give First News.
The first news of the Army's ac-
ton in taking over the 3,250-acre
tract came from residents of the
Camp Springs-Meadows area, who
learned of the move late in the
week when marshals served notices
on them. .-.
The War Department made a
brief, formal announcement yester-
day, saying that construction of an
"Air Corps installation" had been
authorized in Prince Georges Coun-
ty at cost in excess Of 100000.
The notices to tenants to vacate,
issued in Baltimore by United States
District Court Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut, said that the land was to
be used for construction of the
Camp Springs Meadows airf1eld
and for other public uses"
Much of the land is wooded. The
woods-along with fine old fruit
trees and shrubs put in by tenants
in the area-will be leveled. The
Army has indicated that it will make
every effort to give people time to
move their belongings, without en-
forcing too strictly the - 10-days-
after-September-14 provision.

$25 900 airport road fund, which the
county has been holding in escrow
for the construction of the road,
has now been freed by construction
of the War Department Building
road network. Mr.. De Lashmutt
recommended that the money be
used to apply on the purchase of
the Fairfax drive right of way.
F. Freeland Chew said that, in
his opinion, the storm sewer prob
lem was one of the most serious
in the county at present and IA
vored putting the money into a
sinking fund for storm sewers. The
