Tuck Denies Virginia Plans
To Abolish Convict Labor

Gov. Tuck of Virginia has declared
in answer to an inquiry that the
State does not plan to abolish the
use of convict labor on highway
projects.
The Governors view was outlined
in a letter he wrote to John H. King
of Falls Church, who had written
the Governor protesting the use of
criminals in road gangs and suggest
ing abolition of the camps, two OF
which are in Fairfax County. He
cited escapes from Camp 80 as a
hazard.
In his reply, the Governor stated
that he had been informed by the
Superintendent of the State Peni-
tentiary that while the handling
of prisoners at this camp has been
difficult, the escapes which have
occurred have resulted in strength
ening supervision and that the ut
most care is being taken in this
regard. There have been no escapes
since August o."

New Building Begun
For Junior College

Construction has begun on the
Montgomery Junior College build
ing being erected by the Federal
Works Agency. The 10000 square
feet of additional facilities was
granted to the college from war
time SURPRISES on the basis of its
needs for the training of veterans.
Final plans and specifications as
prepared by Rhees Burket, Mont
gomery County school architect,
have been approved by the Board
of Education, and DIR. groome, SUI
perintendent of schools, said that
work should now progress rapidly.
The college building is located on
the Bethesda Chevy Chase high
school campus and will supplement
the facilities used in the high
school building. Dean Price antici-
pates that some early afternoon
classes can be held in the college
building and thereby eliminate the
later evening classes. With the
new building Montgomery Junior
College will also be in a position to
accept larger number of veterans
and recent high school graduates
than were enrolled last year.

Lee, III, as vice-president of the
Silver Spring Chamber of CORN
merce, remainded the Commission
ers that they were only custodians
foru the parking lots-that the Sill
yer merchants were paying for
them. The Board ordered a sur
vey of the streets. Commissioner
The Commissioners took under
advisement proposal of Charles
W. Prettyman, attorney for the
3 & o Railroad, that the County
pay a third of the cost of building
a new bridge over the tracks near
Rockcrest. Mr.. Prettyman said that
the railroad was willing to pay
one-third of the cost estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000. The town of
Rockville would also be asked to
pay one-third. Mr.. Welsh, who is
also attorney for the Rockville
Town Council, again voiced an OBJ
lection. A consultation on the mat
ter will be held by the county board
and the Rockville Town Council.
Sauter did not vote. He too had
seemed antagonistic to the move
ment.
Robert M. Reindollar, Chairman
of the State Roads Commission, in
a letter informed of the Board
that a survey had been made
of the at" intersection at
Williams Corner near Laytonsville.
George N. Lewis, Jr, Traffic Man
ager, had made certain recommen-
dations; one was that the stop
sign be placed on the Laytonsville
Road rather than on the west leg
of the "T".
Howard M. Derrick, an employee
of the Health Department, protest
ed to the Board that he had been
placed under Civil Service on
base salary of $4,000 instead of the
$24C0 basic salary which he re-
ceives. He also objected to his
classification as sanitary inspect
or. He said that when he was
transferred in November 1914 to
the Rodent Control Project he had
been promised a raise by Lacy
Shaw and Richard Lansdale. Mr..
Welsh suggested he see those
gentlemen about the raise.
A hearing on the petition by
Blake Merson, owner of the Mont
gomery County Refuse Co., for a
permit to continue operation of a
dump near Rockville was schedul-
ed for August 26 at II A. M. in
the Court House.

This Changing W orld
Chang Government Collapse Seen
With Increased Chaos in China

The population In such cities as
Shanghai, Nanking and other over
populated centers Is rising against
| the administration because OF the
lack Of food and other necessities.
The government Is using strong
| arm methods to suppress these OUT
breaks and there is little hope that
Iit can handle the situation by re-
moving the shortages which are
driving the people to despair. Be-
cause OF the widespread famine and
the absence OF almost every kind OF
CONSUMERS goods. UNRRA supplies
sent to China are like drop In the
ocean.
| sVulturess Ignore Millions.
Spectators, black marketers and
q host OF other vultures who feed On
tragedy and disaster are living lux
urious lives and ignoring the mil
lions Of hungry Chinese. The Chi
nese have q proverb to the eject
that 1t is all right to be rich, even
very rich, but it is q crime to be too
rich. The big Chinese cities have
quite q number Of "too-rich" per-
sons.
Few question the patriotism and
exemplary honesty Of the general
lissimo himself. But there are around
him a number of unscrupulous per-
sons who are interested chiefly IN
their own enrichment. Their selfish
ness and dishonesty give the Kuo-
mintang's opponents. who are by no
means all Communists, plenty OF
ammunition for propaganda.
It is not difficult to realize how
unstable Gen. Chiang's regime has
become when to these economic
troubles is added the severe defeats
which the armies of Gen. Mao have
administered to the Nationalist
armies.
some Chinese lay at least part
of their troubles at the door OF
Americas mistaken diplomacy,
which for almost q year wasted
precious time attempting to bring
about unity between the Kuomin-
tang and Communists. They main
tain that If our representatives In
China had realized early in the
game that Gen. Mao was merely
playing for time, using the nego-
tiations to further undermine the
National government while he rein
forced his own military forces, the
present situation might have been
avoided.
As it Is, the American Govern
ment is confronted with another
big headache as confusion in China
becomes deeper and more wide
spread.

and war material in their successful
campaign against the Yenan Com

for either have been made available
Meanwhile, the forces Of Gen
Mao Tse-tung, which yielded be-
fore the onslaught Of the modern
Chinese armies, have been re-
grouped, have obtained vital wal
materials, have rejuvenated theiI
officers corps by the addition Of
SPECIALISTS, and have succeeded In
reeling back the tired Nationalist
army.
Troops Dispirited.
Gen. Chiang's troops are reported
to have become dispirited, Many
are deserting, while others are sur
rendering to the Communists, who
receive them with open arms.
The rank and file of Chinese
people do not care who wins. They
are not interested in politics, ex-
cept to favor the side which robs
them the least. So long as Mao
settings agents do not tax too
heavily the populations dwindling

munists are welcome.
