For a long time I've wanted
to share my views on Commun-
ism, so here goes. The grass in
our neighbours yard may look
greener and tempt us to eat. Is
it? Russia is a nation composed
of many races. She has wisely
made her national ideals so APP
pealing, so livable, so sharable
that all these racial groups find
the things they all hold in COM
mol far outweigh their diff
ferenceS. So the miracle of wip-
ing out racial barriers by max
ing the flag of the hammer and
sickle bring blessings to all the
people. The Russians are SO
youthful so virile, so naive, SO
enthusiastic as to compel our
admiration. Mr.. Seldcn's warn
ing is most timely While we
ought to continue to love and
admire them, we should not re-
lax one moment in our hate of
their form of government: Com
muniSm. There's such a thing
as loving the sinner while hat
ing his sin. Communism is Just
another form of fascism and
nazism. 1t is totalitarian govern
ment. And this government is
poison for the individual. He
has no rights his government
ought to respect. The state be
comes everything, the individual
nothing. 1t is the shrine where
all must worship, the god to
which evrey knee should bow.
Any failure meets with storm
troopers, concentration camps,
exile in Siberia. The state does
feed, clothe, shelter you, keep
you busy, but your life is at all
times at the mercy of the state.
Even the best of governments
run by human beings can and
do make plenty of mistakes, for
to err is human.
in the same letter Mr.. Seldom
points out how our faulty Ameri-
can Democracy can be made to
work. He begged me to tell the
white people "to walk as they
talk" Democracy. Freedom is
much talked in our land, but
enjoyed by only a few. And the
trouble is with our citizens who
are big with democratic talk and
little with democratic deeds. I

Ban Urged for Firms
In Bethesda Ignoring
Health, Fire Rules

The Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce last night asked the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the Mont
gomery County commissioners to
withhold licenses for businesses in
the western suburban area in cases
where health, IRE and building reg
ulations are not met.
The resolution was introduced by
Robert w. Beall, chairman of the
Legislation and Legal Action Com
mittee, in an effort to check the
rapidly-increasing number of busi-
nesses using temporary quarters in
Bethesda.
Mr.. Beall also recommended that
all places of business be equipped
with water and plumbing facilities
He reported number of business
places do not have such facilities.
The resolution also recommended
that all sidewalks between the
building line and the curb be kept
free and clear of merchandise dis
played for sale, that food and drinks
be dispensed and sold under health
full and sanitary conditions; that
regulations pertaining to the install
lation of signs and the construction
of buildings be. enforced and that
the conducting of businesses on va
cant lots and in temporary struc-
lures be discouraged by requiring 6
substantial license fee.
The chamber reiterated its opposi-
ton of the Maryland sales tax and
asked Gov. Lane to include consid-
Grafton of repeal of the tax in any
call for special session of the
Maryland General Assembly.
