Roadside Trash

It is a reflection on Fairfax County to be
cited by the State Highway Department as a
leading violator of the law against roadside
dumping. survey of the 635 miles of highways
in the county has revealed about 10000 trash
heaps cluttering up the landscape. It is obvious
that little or no effort has been mace to enforce
the anti-dumping law in this area. Perhaps
some of the dumping has been done by non
residents of the county. A few arrests of flag
rant offenders would tend to discourage the
practice. breakdown is long overdue.

Reading Gould Lincoln's recent article
about Hawaii and Alaska, was
astounded to read that Hawaii entered
the United States by treaty, ratified by
the Senate of each government. Now the
facts are as follows: After the revolu-
ton and dethronement of Queen Liliuo-
kalani in 1892. the provisional (revolu-
tionary) government negotiated treaty
of annexation-which President Cleve-
land, when he came into Office soon
afterward, promptly withdrew from the
United States Senate. During his term

No Faith in Doctors
1t is interesting to read in recent
news stories that even the doctors in
convention assembled are beginning to
question the medical service Of the
community as at present administered,
which Bernard Shaw has designated "a
murdereus absurdity."
Shaw means that under our present
competitive economic system, known
as free enterprise" doctors are virtually
compelled to maintain disease instead
Of health, and to sell recurrent disease
scares in order to make living.
Defining science as exact and verified
knowledge" there is no such thing as
medical science. Medical practice" and
medical treatment are accurate terms
and there is plenty Of medical sales
manship. It may not be ethical for
doctors to advertise, but they certainly
keep up a marvellous and continuous
propaganda barrage.
1t is reputed to be an old Chinese
custom, regarded as quaint and amusing
by our superior intelligences. that doc
tors are paid to keep people well. II
true, perhaps the Chinese have some
thing there. and the general average OF
good health might be improved II
doctors were paid by the month instead
Of by the case.

Mccarthy for Secretary
In answer to The Stars editorial
Madness Is the Word"-we should like
to say that Secretary Acheson's hard
hitting reply to the attacks on the State
Department has indeed failed to create
any so-called deep and lasting impression
upon this family of Democrats, who have
read every word of his speech.
We think the gentleman doth protest
too much, and we are convinced that
Dean Acheson has done much more to
destroy and undermine the confidence of
the American people in their State De-
partment by his refusal to turn his Deck
on the traitor, Alger Hiss, than Senator
McCarthy's charges of communism in
the department could ever have done.
We believe the interests of the country
could best be served by the Secretarys
resignation. Much public confidence
could thus be restored. This Office should
be held by red-blooded American pa
triot such as Senator Mccarthy.
