last January in a process that
lasted about two minutes.
His early-morning appearance
at the club on this occasion also
was featured, he said, by three
separate fist fights, the last of

BY the Associated Press

Senator McCarthy's demand
that Secretary of State Acheson

For the good of the country,
Senator Brewster said in an inter-

secure men las Secretary of State)
who would command more gen.

In second blast last night, Mr.

North Perry Street
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Madam:
During the past two days the
public has been shocked by the
horrible story of the abortion and
death of 20 year old Maryland
wife, the mother of two children,
the youngest only eight months
old. How tragic that this young
woman should have felt compelled
to resort to this illegal and des-
perate action.
Every married woman has the
right to avail herself of the medi-
cal assistance and advice obtain
able in her community, to plan for
and to space her children.
In Maryland, not far from the
home of this young mother, the
Planned Parenthood League of
Montgomery County maintains
child spacing clinics in Silver
Spring, Bethesda, and Rockville.
These clinics are stated by doctors,
nurses, and social workers. On
the Board of Directors are clergy
men, physicians, nurses, psychia-
trists, and social workers, all of
whom advocate the spacing of
children by safe, legal and medi-
cally approved methods. Clinics
are supported chiefly by public
contributions. Fees are based on
a sliding scale, but no one is
turned away because of inability
to pay.
Many letters are received every
month from married women who
are desperate for birth control in
formation. However, incidents

The long talked of Community Federation or clear
ing house, for local problems became reality last week
with organization meeting and election of pro tenn
officers. Beginning with eight affiliated member clubs
it will probably have doubled that before it applies for
charter.
1t is felt that with the organization of the Fedora
to and the bringing together of representative group
of people, needs of the town may be easily filled.
The knowledge of such needs be aired by the differ
ent organizations thereby giving opportunities to new
comers who may otherwise be ignorant of the important
part they might play in the vicinity well to long
time residents who may also be further enlightened as
to their support along these lines.
Best of ALL it can prevent duplication of effort. Sew
era of the tmeconsuming items discussed at the first
meeting had already been provided for knowledge of
the actions of the Mayor and Council would have been
valuable hasion service.
If the organization manage to keep out of
partisan politics it do wonderful service for the
growing city, which has population of about $1,000.
