Prince Georges Newcomers
Observer.

A newspaper has quoted the opinion
Of the defeated State Senator L. Harold
Sothoron in regard to the reasons behind
the death Of the Democratic machine
here in Prince Georges County as fol-
lows: "Sothoron also declared the
apartment vote of 'uninformed' new
residents worked against the Democrats"
should like to point out that our new
residents have been particularly active
(more so than older residents) in our
civic organizations, PTA activities, the
Committee for Good Government, COM
munity civic associations as well as our
churches, and are as well informed as
any other group, If not better.
AS a life-long citizen of this county,
should like to extend an invitation to
all newcomers to join and become active
in all our local and national organiza-
tions working for good government.
Many Of them are interested in making
this area one in which they would like
to claim for a permanent home when
ever housing and community conditions
warrent such action. am sure their
views. representing all parts of the
United States, will be very helpful in
reconstructing efficient government in
Prince Georges.

Stote Department Critic

The Red Chinese puppets are obvi-
ouSly going to demand an exorbitant
price to withdraw their troops from
Korea. This will doubtless include let
ting the Reds take over Formosa, seat
ing them in the United Nations and
probably an unofficial understanding
that we will let them take over all of
Korea by infiltration tactics-similar to
those used in Czechoslovakia-as soon as
our troops are withdrawn. It may also
include letting the Reds take over Indo-
China. They have gun at our heads
and it is case of give in-or else"
The question Is, what are we going to
do about it?
A pretty good idea of what we will do
can be gained from the past perform
ances of our State Department. 1t is
only necessary to recollect that we have
the same State Department whose mem
bers propagandized the ideas that these
Red Chinese were simply friendly agra
rian Socialists: that the Nationalist Gov
ernment was so corrupt that it should
not be supported, and that the remedy
was to force the inclusion of the Reds
IN the Nationalist government. The ban
on shipments of ammunition to China
was primarily responsible for the Red
victory in China-the worst American
disaster in history. With these facts in
mind, is there any reason to suspect that

Adding to GI Misery

News dispatches telling of shocking scarcity
OF winter clothing for some of our troops on the
North Korean fighting front call for a thorough
inquiry and quick remedial action. Associated
Press Correspondent Don Whitehead reported
from the Chongchon sector that "a great many"
troops still are wearing cotton uniforms over long
underwear and that he has yet to see soldier
with all the winter equipment he is supposed to
have in the near-zero weather prevailing there.
The United Press carried comparable dispatches.
Defense Department officials assert that
plenty OF winter clothing for all men engaged in
combat is ''in Korea"-somewhere. This is not
much comfort for il-clad GIs facing the Arctic
blasts of an early winter in an area where the
average low temperature in December is five de-
grees below zero. If the dispatches are correct,
there has been a serious breakdown in logistics,
which is the system of keeping troops in combat
supplied with ammunition, food clothing and
other necessary equipment Nor does it help the
Armys case to have the same dispatches from
the field tell of front-line Marines we'll bundled
In parkas and other cold-weather clothing. It
looks as though there has been slip-up some
where along the logistics line not entirely at
tzibutable to transportation difculties-a slip-up
adding unnecessarily to the suffering of some of
our soldiers on the frigid battle 'front.'

Some people would say it served the
writer of the above right, to get poison
ivy as the result of lifting" dogwood.
Transplanting wild plant material
from its native heath is always gamble.
Unless one has studied well the ways
of growing things in the wood, there is
always a chance of the taken specimen
not blooming, the next year or ever.
In many cases such material simply
refuses to live.
That is why growers of wild1owers
see to it that their material has been
transplanted and has lived in conditions
approximating an average garden for
two or three years before offering it for

Republican Administration

The editorial of The Star of November
10, entitled Federal Voters are Inde-
pendent" should have been more accu-
rately entitled Federal Voters are Re-
publican"
To earnest and sympathetic Democrats
1t has long been apparent that the ad-
ministration in the mass is whole
heartedly and continually Republican.
The recent election is not the only Incl
dent in which the communities border
ing on the District have gone over
whelmingly Republican, they do so fire.
quently. Certainly the greatest handicap
is to be known as loyal supporter Of
the administration. To appoint Repub-
lican seems to be the height of states
manShip; to appoint Democrat, cheap
politics.
The blase attitude of the Federal Re-
publican workers in the border COM
munities is not only reflected in their
consistent Republican support Of the
nominees of that party. but also in their
opposition to home rule for the District
of Columbia where they neither reside
nor vote. 1t Is passing strange that those
who earn their livelihood in the District
and take such keen interest in border
communities are yet so active in denying
to residents Of this city the right also to
have vote.
The Star states: 1.-The suburbanites
have habit of voting for the best man.
irrespective of party-which is very
healthy sign" However, it is interesting
to note that the "best man" is in their
opinion invariably Republican.

or both, and in extreme cases will die,
as result of what to it has been major
operation. It is good thing to mix some
acidifying material, such as a little Or
dinary EPSON salts. in the soil to which
strangers are transplanted. This makes
them feel more at home. It applies not
only to dogwoods, but to rhododendrons
and aZaleas.
AS for birds under the caves, if they
actually have got into an attic, or air
space, they should be smoked out, if this
is feasible. Practically the only bigds to
even think of nesting this late would be
the common sparrows, and it is pretty
late, even for them. They ordinarily
have four or five broods year, with
perhaps as many as IS babies year.
The unusually warm weather of October
and early November might have put
late nesting into their heads.
II the birds got in, an arm might be
inserted, and the nest pulled out. 1t
probably would not be too far back, since
birds do not prefer too dark places.
There Is an outside chance the bird
might be a Carolina wren, seeking not
to nest but simply to find warm refuge
for the winter. In this case, the bird
might be left alone, since it would do no
harm.

Alexandra Gets Into Line

The latest good news on the anti-polution
front is that Alexandria finally is getting into line
with other communities in the movement to clean
up the Potomac River in this area A spokesman
for the city has announced that referendum on
81 million bond issue will be sought soon after
the first of next year. That would pave the way
for an end to Alexandria's ancient practice of
dumping raw sewage into the river. This practice
was not so hazardous in the days when Alexandria
was mere village. Today, however, the river has
become so contaminated as to approach the Of

Slow in Understanding

President Green of the American Federation
of Labor and Senator Taft of Ohio see eye-to-eye
on one thing Both of them agree, as Mr.. Green
said yesterday, that There must have been lot
of labor men who voted for Taft"
But Mr. Green still believes that "There must
have been some undersurface cause we can't
analyze-can't understand" that led to Mr.. Tafts
election.
If Mr.. Green speaks for organized labor as
whole in saying that the Ohio election is some
thing that def1es understanding and analysis, it
Is disappointing. For it is logical to believe that
whenever the labor leaders go into any State and
advertise their intent to knock off good man by
running poor one, the labor leaders are going
to be set back on their heels by the voters, in
Guiding loyal members of labor unions.
And if Mr.. Green and his colleagues have not
learned this lesson in Ohio, when will they learn
1t?
