Commissioners
Approve WSSC's
100000 Bonds

The meeting of the County Com
missioners on Tuesday morning
was largely taken up by j. Darby
Bowman, secretary-treasurer of
the Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, who asked the Boards APP
proval of a $3,OO0,00O bond issue
for water and sewer connections.
The Commissioners had no choice
in the matter-they are compelled
to approve the bond issues. As
usual there was a great deal of
discussion. In reply to questions
asked by County Supervisor Nc
Nayr and Commissioner Sauter,
Mr.. Bowman explained that the
present bonded indebtedness of the
Sanitary Commission is $3,522,000
this does not include the three
million approved Tuesday. When
asked if this borrowing would go
on indefinitely Mr.. Bowman re-
piled cas- long as building CONT
nues".
Contracts have recently been
awarded for more than $230,000
for construction of new water
mains and sewers in this County
and Prince Georges. The bonds
are gradually paid off by the
Front Foot Benefit" paid over a
period of fifty years, Mr.. Bowman
explained.
The Commissioners appropriated
$1,000 for warning lights at the
railroad crossing near Lincoln
High School where two persons
have been killed in recent years.
The B. & o. will pay the balance
of the estimated $4,000 cost of the
project, which also includes the
cutting of 500 feet of embankment
to provide better view of the
tracks. ~
BROOKE Johns, president of the
board, ! thinks there should be a
State law to require railroads to
eliminate all grade crossings.
At the request of GLAND Harvey,
road supervisor, Purchasing Agent
w. H. Nerlich was authorized to
purchase a caterpillar bulldozer at
cost of $11 ,155, "a iscraper, $5,64O
and winch and cables at cost
of $118.
The Wheaton Chamber of Com
merce by letter again asked the
board to stop the building of
houses along the Viers Mill Road
which it termed "a disgrace to our
fair county and a moneyma&ing
scheme. This project comes I'M
der the jurisdiction of the Park
and Planning Commission. The
commissioners took no action.
. Pvt. John Higdon of the police
department was promoted to be a
corporal and Corporal Glenn
Wood, Silver Spring, was trans
ferred from the detective bureau
there.
10 v. Morgan was authorized to
extend the county Civil Service to
include the Takoma Park Police.
State funds granted to the
County this year will jump more
than a third over those granted
last year because of the Sherbow
report, County Comptroller Alex
Hancock said. This fiscal year,
Hancock pointed out, Montgomery
County will receive an estimated
1867, 900 compared to $665,000 last
year.

sations with General Clay, and lat
err with Secretary of State Marshall
I learned that the situation dated
back to an agreement made by the
European Advisory Commission IN
1914 and affirmed by Stain, Church
ill and Roosevelt at Yalta in Febru-
airy, 1915. At that time the agree
ment providing for joint admlnlstra-
ton of Berlin, was actually consld-
cred to be a concession on the part
of the Russians, for it was not De-
lieved that the western armies OF
the allies would get beyond the
Rhine before the war ended.
On June 16, 1915, President Tru-
man advised Stain that American
forces would be pulled back to the
zone boundaries previously estab-
lished, but on the condition that the
military commanders in Germany
reached satisfactory agreements
giving road, rail and air access TO
American forces in Berlin. AT the
meeting which followed, General
Clay asked for a land corridor I'M
der American control. General
Zhukov refused, saying that such
corridor would not be necessary
since the Russians did not care
what the Americans and British
hauled over the highways and rail-
roads assigned to them.
The agreement which the military
commanders reached seemed to work
satisfactorily as long as Zhukov was
the Russian commander in Ger
many. Apparently, however, there
was a shift Of power in the com
munist party back in Russia; Zhu-
kov was replaced by Sokolavsky;

Knowing of the tremendous inn
portance of the airlift, Senators
F'ulbright and Lucas, and 1 were
naturally anxious to know how
long it can be effectively main

CLAW assured us that, with the adj
dition of about sixty planes, the air.
lift could be continued successfully
through the winter. On his trip to
the United States last week Gener-
al Clay was promised sc more
planes. This additional evidence of
our intention to maintain the air

"Blame9an and praiseaI two blOckheads Franklin
TRUMAN is THE MAN

tuesday, November z will be election day. On this
occasion the who will rule the greatest nation in the
world for the next four years will be selected That
will become President of the United States of America
There will be four candidates for the office of Pres-
dent and possible 100000 citizens will cast
their votes. The candidates Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York, Republican; Governor J. Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina, Dixecrat; Henry A. Wal
lace former vcepredent of the United State Progress
sive and last but by least Harry S. Truman
President of the United States.
We do not feel that it is necessary to say anything
about the Progressive Party candidate the Dxecrat
AS it the will be between the major parties
the Republican candidate, Mr.. Dewey and the Democrat
Mr.. Truman.
We have no fault to find with Mr.. Dewey we believe
If elected, ne will serve the country WELL However,
dorse Mr.. Truman and hope that he will be elected and
serve another term in the White House.
Mr.. Truman succeeded who in our opinion was
the greatest president in the history of the United States
Franklin Deano Roosevelt He took office when the
country engaged in the disastrous war in the
history of the world.
The ended and this nation, generally speaking,
True it that the European situation at the present
time is serious one, and peace again threatened
but our country is united it's foreign policy and the
election as we see it will have little affect upon that
situation.
Mr.. Truman like every other human being, has
made mistakes but he has served the country we'll and
should be returned to Office
The Democratic party split wide open over Mr. Tru-
mans civil Rights Program and because of that it
certain that he will lose the support of several states If
record making vote is cast he be able to
this loss. We hope he will.
There are those who believe Mr.. Truman's Civil
Rights Program political move to votes Sup
was there is little harm in that What ever the
purpose the Civil Rights just and righteous
and that should be appreciated especially by
those it seeks to benefit.
DR.. Charming Tobias gives very good reasons
why he is supporting Mr. Truman Read them carefully
in this issue of the Miami Times.
On February 2, 1948 Mr.. Truman had this so say:
1--WE cannot be satisfied until all our people have
equal opportunities for jobs for homes education for
health and for political expression, and until all of
people have equal protection under the law"
We again say, endorse Mr. Truman and suggest
that our readers cast their votes for his election
