RUSSIA'S FUTURE
FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Released by Western Newspaper Union.


IN OUR PRIDE we like to think
of America as the dominant power
of the world. We may be that to-
day, but what of the comparatively
near future?
The dominant powers of the to-
morrows may very easily be Rus
sia and China. We grew to great
ness because we had the resources
with which to work, with form OF
government and an economic sys-
tenn that created will to work. To-
day Russia has the resources, she
has the man power and given the
will to work, she can outdistance
us within the next half century.
The Russian government today is
not communistic. 1t is purely die
tatorship and relationships last only
so long as the dictator lasts. The
dictatorship in Russia is providing
education for Russian youth. The
next generation will be more capa-
BILE of individual and mass thinking
than has any generation of the past.
The dictatorship of Joseph Stain has
made many things possible and
these have meant advancement. To-
day Russia is at the threshold of,
for her, a new world. She has oils,
minerals, timber, an abundance OF
fertile soil and man power. All she
lacks is that economic system out
of which is created the will to
achieve.
Joseph Stain will pass and with
him, in all probability, will pass the
dictatorship, to be followed by a
form of government that will pro-
vide the needed economic system.
Should that prove true, the Russian
people and the people of the world
will thank Joseph Stain for his ac-
complishments. 1t is my belief that
communism was but passing phase
in the life of the nation. 1t was a
boogy man that lives today more In
the minds of zealots in other coun-
tries than in Russia.

HOW INITIATION
CAN AFFECT US

A LETTER from an old news.
paper editor friend tells me of his
retirement after So years of news
papering. In his letter he says: 81
have enough to see me through if
do not live too long," But I wonder
if he considers all the possibilities.
We may have money. Judged from
our past expenditures, it may be
enough to last a definite length of
time. But are past experiences a
criterion for the future? The ugly
head of imitation is just beyond the
horizon. The dollars of today will
depreciate to the values of tomor-
row. He who must live on a fixed
income may find it will not provide
the price of tomorrow's bread. It is
an uncertain age and the most help
less individual is he who has saved
that he may have competence for
his declining years based on the
conditions of the yesteryears. Infia-
ton is no respecter of individuals.
We do not know, we can only hope.
AS A SECOND THOUGHT, Vice
President Wallace assures us that
only from two to eight per cent of all
corporations are bad and that max
ing legitimate profits is a system
that must be preserved in America.
Wonder what prompted that second
thought?
HERBERT HOOVER'S PROPOS-
AL that we delay writing the final
peace terms until we get over being
mad would seem to be practical
horse sense.

who most needs sympathy is he who,
when as a grandfather in years to
come, will have no war rem
iniscences to tell his grandchildren.

The Lett-Ha,,ded Crop

Good left-handers are hard to To-
cate. Any ball club that has one
top southpaw is lucky, The Cardi-
nails, in a way, were lucky to have
four hanging around this season

mot to overlook -Pollet who was
called into the service.
This is the best left-handed crop
any team has ever known when you
add up both quantity and quality.
Any team whose power depends
on good left-handed hitters is up
against a heavy handicap facing
left-handed pitchers.
In the old days the Babe had most
of his trouble facing southpaws with
the curve breaking away from his
swinging bat.
Which reminds us that a good part
of Connie Mack's earlier success
was due to the great left-handers he
gathered in along the trail-Rube

about 1914
What about baseball through 1914?
No one can say the outlook is any
more promising than it was for 1943
a year ago. The fathers draft will
undoubtedly make a big difference.
So will the progress of the war.
After looking at what happened
through 1943 there is little use in
making too many pessimistic
guesses.
Judging from all reports received
to date, baseball played its part for
the service men, both in camps at
home and those abroad.
Many thousands saw games all
through the late seasons. Also many
more thousands took keen interest
In following the different pennant
races and the series.
ALI war news and gossip services
have reported the desire for more
sporting news, especially baseball,
from army camps everywhere.
This will be taken into account
next season. even though a flock of
stars, now exempt, will be wearing
different uniforms little later on
Whether there will be 1914 Worl
series to match the 1943 model
anybody's guess.

This concentration on condition

Chambers best year at the age of "a.
Few pitchers wait that long to
have their best season-which also
was one of the best pitching seasons
in over 20 years.
One Great Pitch
A bunch of us were arguing, as
usual, over the greatest single pitch
any World series ever saw.
My vote went to Christy Mathew
son in the series of 1912-Giants
against the Red Sox.
This was the eighth game of the
closest series yet played.
In the last of the tenth inning the
Giants were leading by a run with
Boston at bat. There were two on
base with one out and Iris Speaker
up. Mathewson piled two fast balls
through and then with the same
pitching motion lobbed one over.
Speaker, caught off balance, lifted
a high pop foul that dropped safely
in the coaching box near first base.
1t should have been an easy out
but the call came for Chief Myers
to handle it-and the slow Chief
couldn't quite make it. That pitch
should have made two out and
quite possibly have won the series
for the Giants. 1t took headwork
and courage to feed Speaker that
slow one under the circumstances.
But Mathewson always had just
about everything a pitcher needs to
be tops.
Back in 1905, mere matter of 38
years ago, your correspondent saw
Christy shut out the Athletics three
times in compact order in the fin
est pitching exhibition he has ever
seen. Christy Mathewson still holds
first place in many fans memory

Byrd Requests U. 5.
To Pay Virginia lax

Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Vir-
ginia today said the Government
should pay 1943 Virginia property
taxes now assessed against residents
of three counties whose land was
taken over by the Navy last year for
enlargement of the Quantico Ma
rine Base. The landowners cannot
receive payment until the taxes are
paid.
The Navy took possession of So
600 acres in Stafford. Prince William
and Fauquier Counties last October
and December, but transfers of title;
were not completed until July 81
Under Virginia law. tax assess
ments do not cease until legal title
to the land has been recorded il

1t easier for persons to receive pay
ment for their land. introduced BY
him in April, still is before the Sen

Chairman Van Nuys has promised
early action on the measure.
The bill would permit all who
have any interest in property taker

claim in court setting forth theil
interest and including any liens OF
other claims against the property
The court then would act on the
claims within 80 days and order q

Health ReportCites
Population Increase
Nov Exceeds 100, 600;
Rate of Growth Set
At 5000 Annually

Despite increasing population
caused by the influx Of war workers
Montgomery County health condi-
tons have remained generally sat-
Iisfactory," DR.. v. L. Ellicott, county
health officer, declared in his annual
report for 1912, made public today.
The county's population is growing
by approximately 5000 every year
and passed the 100000 mark early
last year, he said.
The opening of the Silver Spring
Health Center in May of last year
has met an important health need
the report stated, and the opening OF
a new health center in the Suburban
1 Hospital will furnish health facili-
ties to residents of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase area.
More Centers Needed.
/ The PooleSVille Health Center
opened in November, now is provid-
ing some medical facilities for rural
residents, DR.. Ellicott asserted. He
pointed out, however, that health
center space is needed in Gathers
burg and Clarksburg, together with
| improved facilities in Damascus and
Glen Echo.
! Visits to venereal disease clinics
increased 80 per cent in 1912, while
venereal disease visits by nurses tc
homes increased 60 per cent.
Nurses also placed added empha-
sis on tuberculosis prevention, ac-
cording to the report. The county
tuberculosis death rate is now 25
per 100000 persons as compared to
approximately so in 1882
Dental Service Helpful.
Last year also was marked by the
inauguration of full-time dental
service, which was of particular
value in the summer months when
schools were closed, the report en-
phasized.
Five eye clinics and two crippled
children clinics were held in 1912
OF the 20 persons who contracted
infantile paralysis in 1941, only
had more than slight residual pa
ralysiS as the result of the disease
DR.. Ellicott said.
While it has been impossible to
obtain sufficient nurses to fill all the
positions provided in the health
budget, DR.. Ellicott said an average
of 14.3 nurses were on duty in 1941
as compared with 1O.9 the previous

JoviuI Halloween Celebration
FoundStiN Possible Despite War
But Police Warn VondoIistic Pronksters
Will Be Handled SternIy by PotroImen

You should be able to have a good
Halloween tomorrow night if you're
satisfied with the simple pleasures
of life.
Pumpkins are around in sufficient
quantities to assure anyone who
wants one a jack-o'-lantern. Most
of them are Of the smaller variety,
but there are few large ones to
be had. One produce merchant said
he had some 50-pounders which he
is selling for $3.50 each. Prices gen.
orally run around 5 or cents a
pound.
just one warning: In this day and
age when food is none too plentiful,
pumpkins should not be wasted
in serving as jack-o'-lanterns.
Folks who have Halloween pump
kins are urged to save the meat for
pies. If candle is used, it is sug-
gested the pulp can be saved from
being damaged by smoke if the top
of the pumpkin is left open.
Note to Apple-Bobbers.
If you're an apple e-bobber, you will
probably be able to find enough ap-
pies so that you can have whale
of time. But they're not abundant
and the quality is none too good.
Taffy apples aren't too plentiful
what with the apple shortage and
sugar rationing, but few places
have them for sale.
If you're really going to shoot the
works and 60 in for costumes, masks
and noisemakers, you won't have any
trouble. These items are made of
paper and cloth and novelty stores
report they have had no trouble get
ting them. For the past week or two
they've been doing rushing busi-
ness.
Celebrating the witches holiday
in any of these peaceful and law
abiding ways will keep you out of
trouble. But persons of all ages who
carry out vandalistic impulses will
be dealt with sternly.
Police to Be Out in Force.
Police officers will be out in force
tomorrow night with instructions
to show no quarter to window
soapers, garden hose-stealers, ash
cant bumpers and others with a
distorted sense of humor. Aside
from being nuisances, pranks these
days, it is pointed out, might result
in the damage or destruction OF
property hard to replace.
