Bad News For Mars

A lot of people who don't want to see
us fight another war have expressed con-
Germ over what they think is Americas
tendency to diStruSt Russia If such dis
trust were to exist, it might breed another
war. Fortunately, we have good and re-
cent proof that:
l. The majority of Americans trust
Russia.
2. The number of Americans who
trust Russia has been increasing
In recent years.
3. The more educated an American
is, the more likely he is to trust
Russia
These three conclusions are drawn direct
ly from public opinion poll made by the
American Institute of Public Opinion, under
the direction of George Gallup. The poll
was made just a few weeks ago, and it's
results were recently published.
That the majority of Americans trust
Russia is clearly indicated by the fact that
when asked, do you think Russia can be
trusted to cooperate with us after the war;"
80 pct. said "yes," IA pct. were undecided,
and only 81 pct. said mo" This prepond-
erance, which has always been sufficient
to elect a President or establish the superb
ority of cigarette brand, should help con-
siderably to keep us out of war based
on mistrust.
That American trust of Russian intentions
has been on the increase becomes clear when
we know that the very same question was
asked before Russia was invaded, was asked
again last December, nd-finally-a few
weeks ago. The first time it was asked, only
80 pct of the population thought Russia
could be trusted to cooperate with U.s. Last
December, the number had risen to Al pct
Today, as we saw above, SIS pct are in
clined to be friendly.
That trust of Russia is most marked
among the better educated is proved by a
breakdown of the last poll 81 pct. of all
those who have had college training be-
Geve Russia can be trusted 60 pct of those
who never got beyond high school agree
with this group. But of those who never
went further than grade school, only 81 pct
are inclined to trust the Soviet.
All of this is encouraging to anyone who
fears war. 1t should also be discoraging to
those who maintain that friendlineSS exists
chiefly among laborers who are supposed
to like communism just because, in the
course of their work, they occasionally en-
ploy hammers and sickles. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the majority of laborers have
had less schooling than the majority of
bank presidents, heads of manufacturing
concerns, professional people and important
stock holders. Yet, from conclusion No. 3,
we can see that trust of the Soviet (which
the Soviet) exists in inverse proportion to
mans need to work in sweat-Stained over
alls and with calloused hands.
Let's have more education-more trust
fewer wars.

Prince Georges Court
Calls 5-Day Recess in
.SIudge Dumping Suit

Testimony win be resumed Thurs
day in Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court at Upper Marlboro in ar
injunction suit by the Laurel Mayor
or City Council against the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion. A five-day recess was ordered
by Judge Charles C. Marbury at the
conclusion of yesterdays hearings.
In their suit, the Mayor and Coun-
Gil are seeking to enjoin the COM
mission from discharging sludge anc
waste water from its Willis School
filtration plant at Laurel into Walker
Branch and the Patuxent River.
DR.. Abel Wolman, Baltimore sani-
tary engineer testified that the effect
of the discharge from the filtration
plans settling basin into Walker
Branch is mil"
Says Quality Is Fine.
DIR. Wolman, former chief engineer
of the State Health Department
told Judge Marbury that bacteria
logical analyses of samples of the
waste water showed that it is very
fine quality of water, superior to
most unpolluted natural streams"
On April 26 and 81, l945, DR.
Wolman said, analyses were made
of samples of water taken from
Walker Branch below the filtration
plant. Study of these analyses, he
said, revealed that the turbidity die
not exceed so parts of silt per l.
100000 parts of water, although the
settling basin had been emptieo
April Is.
On the same dates, he testified
samples were taken from the Patux-
ent above its confluence with Walker
Branch. Analyses of these samples
showed turbidity rate of from 26G
to 1,700 parts of silt per 1000, 00C
parts of water.
Walker Branch Tested Again.
Other samples were taken from
Walker Branch June IS and 20
showing a maximum turbidity rate
of Is parts of silt per 1000, 900 parts
of, water, while samples taken from
the Patuxent the same days above Its
confluence with the branch showed
turbidity rate of a minimum OF
$50 and a maximum of 1000 parts
of silt per 100000 parts of water
DR.. Wolman said waste water leav-
ing the filtration plant is "rela-
lively clear" and is superior to water
in Walker Branch. He said that or
an inspection of Walker Branch
from the filtration plant to its con-
fiuence with the Patuxent last April
he did not notice any peculiar odor
nor did he see any unusual
amount of mud or sludge.
Charged Offensive Odor.
Witnesses for the Mayor and City
Council had testified that the dump
ing of sludge and waste water into
the branch resulted In an offensive
odor. They also claimed that con-
tinued use by the commission of
Walker Branch would be "disas-
trous" to future water supply of the
municipality.
Harry r. Hall, chief engineer for
the commission, said the plant be-
gan operation in July, 1914, and the
settling basin has been discharged
twice since that date.
Mr.. Hall said the basin has a
$50. 00-gallon capacity and can be
emptied in about two hours. So far,
he said, the sludge and waste water
have been discharged from the basin
when there is sufficient amount of
rain to carry 1t off. He estimated
that it would take from 30 to 90
minutes for the sludge to pass down
Walker Branch and reach the Pa
tuxent.

Iekes Sees 20 p Cut
In Industrial Coal Supply
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Solid Fuels Administrator Ickes
said today that the soft coal short
age may necessitate cut of 20 per
cent in supplies to industry-except
railroads and utilities.
The prospective production deficit
under requirements for the fuel
year which started April is esti-
mated at Is ,000, 900 tons, Mr.. Ickes
said in a statement.
For the first time since Pearl
Harbor," he said, "the Nation is
likely to be in a situation next win
ter where industrial stockpiles will
be met only part" of the produc-
ton deficit.
Noting that studies to determine
the best means of meeting this situ-
alton are now in progress" MIR. Ickes
said the difficulties probably could be
solved If industrial users other than
railroads and utilities were re-
stricted to no more than 30 per
cent of former supplies.
