That's That
 By BRUCE GUSTIN

Russia's veto of the United Ma tionS security council decision to set up a Balkans commission was the last straw. Not only did it block any action by the interna- tional organization to restore peaceful relations in the "coc'<pit of Europe" but it showed the ut ter futility of trying to get along with the Russians. They talk peace. But every move they make is calculated to foment discord. The unacceptable conclusion is that they don't want to get along with anybody, especially the United States.
 The Russian veto the eleventh Moscow has used to hamstring the United Nations experiment-was exercised in the most exasperating manner imaginable. It appeared to be a calculated attempt to aggra- vate and antagonize. The resolu- ton was voted on. paragraph by paragraph. InGte1d of announcing the Soviet veto at the star, Rus sian delegate GromvFo abstained from voting until each para grapf had been approved by an over whelming majority.
 Western railroads say that 28 of the A rule changes demanded by operating unions would require them to. pay more money for the same or less work. As an example, they cite the union demand for one full crew for each Diesel power unit used on a train. They say that would mean "a freight train hauled by a four-unit Diesel would have to carry four engin- eers, four firemen, four conduc- tors and at least eight brakemen, or a total of twenty instead of five" A more fragrant example of "featherbeddihg" can hardly be conceived.
 This demand for a full crew for each Diesel unit seems 10 be one of the things prohibited by the Taft-Hartley act. That measure classes as an unfair labor prac- tice" any attempt to cause an em- ployer to pay for services which are not performed or not to be per dle a four-unit Diesel locomotive just as easily as one unit. three extra crews would not perform any necessary services. They would merely add to the operating

Following her annual report,
given this week to the Board Of
Directors Of the Mental Hygiene
Society Of Montgomery County,
DIR. Mabel Wilkin, director Of the
Mental Hygiene Clinic announced
her resignation, effective October l.
At the meeting, held at Rose
Hill, the home Of Mrs. Dexter Bull
lard, DIR. Wilkin said, although
the clinic is solidly established in
the county, we remain a small
team dependent on a shoestring
Of a budget available each year
only insofar as the citizens Of
the county are able and inclined
to contribute to the Community
Chest which supports u.s."
Charging that mental health is
the number one health problem
of our time, DR.. Wilkin stated.
"But here, as elsewhere, public
opinion continues apathetic to the
tremendous, unfulfilled m entail
hygiene which is to say human
needs Of its citizenry, and, pre-
eminently, for the good Of the flu
ture, Of the human, emotional
needs of It's children"

Chase StGtler Studio.
The opening of their new Of
fees in the courthouse in Rock
vile and the beginning of Ma
tional Home Demonstration Week
was marked by a tea given Mon
day by the Montgomery County
Council of Homemakers. Honored
guests were the Home Demonstra-
ton Agent, Miss Edythe M,
Turner, and her assistant, MISS
Virginia McLuckie and the presi-
dents of the 25 clubs that make
up the council.
Miss Turner came to Maryland
in 1923. She is native of Crook
ton, Mimi, graduate of Stout
Institute, Menomonie, Wis. and
has attended summer schools at
Cornell and the University of
Maryland. Before coming to Rock
vile she spent two years as agent
for Baltimore County and two
years as district agent at Univer-
sity of Maryland. Since 1882 she
has been agent for Montgomery
County.
There has been a great growth
in both the number of clubs and
their membership in the years
Miss Turner has been in the coun-
ty. She says her greatest thrill
comes from the fact that small
suggestion can stimulate women to
develop their latent talents as is
shown by the homemakers now in
businesses of their own, developed
from ideas conceived in extension
work. Some of the rural group
have won national recognition
with their Farm Women's Market,
others have gone into the adult
teaching field and one has become
a member of the State Legisla-
ture. Two women have their own
upholstery and slip-cover business,
another makes a tidy sum with
her purse and toy making sales,
while another homemaker sells
exquisitely made textile painted
blouses. Even the oldest charter
member, now 80, makes pin money
with her crocheting.
Miss McLuckie, who has been
assistant agent in charge of
Girls All Clubs for sixteen
months, was born and reared in
Cumberland. She graduated from
Maryland University and did some
graduates work in adult education
both there and at Johns Hopkins.
Before coming to this county
Miss McLuckie spent a year as
Home Manager supervisor for the
Farm Security Administration and
worked two years at Home Econo-
mist in the Baltimore City De-
partment of Welfare. She says
her work here is a challenge and
very stimulating.

Hearing Set On
Regulations For
Taxi Drivers

The report of the special advi-
sorry taxicab committee appointed
in March by Wesley l. Sauter po-
lice commissioner to bring in re-
commentators for a county ordi-
nance controlling taxis, was pres
ented to Mr.. Sauter on Monday
by the chairman, Einar Christen-
sen. Mr.. Sauter in turn presented
the recommendations to the county
commissioners at their meeting on
Tuesday and they ordered a public
hearing to be held in the Bethesda
county building May % at 1
o'clock.
Other members of the advisory
committee weer Paul Taggart, Sill
yer Spring; Harrison Barnes and
Robert Wells, Bethesda and C. M.
Hickman, Rockville.
The report brought in 81 re-
concentrations, including that a
hack inspectors office be estab-
lshed and that fees ranging from
$50 to 500 be charged for each
cab. Payment of SIS dues annually
for each driver was also recon-
mended to defray the cost of oper-
alton of the Taxi Bureau.
The majority of the operators
favor the zone fare system,
though several held out for taxi
meters, the report states. The
committee asked that certificates
be denied drivers under Fl and
asked that the number of cabs be
limited and that all cabs be re-
quired to belong to a recognized
cab association. Rates in the rural
section would be on a mileage
basis. Sentiment as to group rid
ing was divided.
From the hearing on the 22nd,
it is hoped that an ordinance will
be developed which will prevent
the great difference in fees
charged at the present time by
the various cabs.
