Peace or War in Europe
A-Bonb Held Decisive Factor
InPIon to Defend West Europe

Soviet European union and we
would be confined to quarters"
pending a Soviet attack or the
rise of a really potent American
Communist Party.
8. If we are going to have to
fight the Soviet Union, then it
will be better to do it on German
soil or even on Western European
soil, in the near future. than else
where later on. We would stand
a good chance of winning as long
as we had our Allies and our bases
in Europe and the Mediterranean
We would stand a good chance of
getting beaten if we did not have
them
10. Determined American lead
ership now may finally bring the
unification of Western Europe and
lead the Russian people to shake
off their present terrorist regime.

D. {. Slogan on Car Tags
Urged by Citizens S Group

The Congress Heights Citizens
Association last night appealed t.
the District Commissioners TO
publicize Washington with en-
blems or slogans imprinted on
District license tags.
In the letter, also directed to
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp, the group said many
outsiders have interpreted the in
itials D. c. to mean Dominion of
Canada. This error could be
eliminated, it went on. if an ap-
propriate; emblem, such as the
Capitol dome. or a slogan, 'The
Nations Capital were stamped
on District tags.
In other business, the associ-
alton voted that night school
classes be held in Anacostia
High School for the benefit of
the students who live on the south
side of the Anacostia River.
Last nights meeting was held
in the Congress Heights School,
Alabama and Nichols avenues
Sc, and was conducted by DR..

Lost of a Series.

consideration except, perhaps, an
excess of muscle.
The only thing the decision
seems to lack is manpower to back
it up during the critical months
to come.
The A-bomb made the decision
possible anyway.
Here are few of the considera-
tions cited by American officials
in Europe:
/. Our mere decision to defend
Western Europe probably means
that the Russians will not attack
it. In other words, we probably
won't even have to fight if we are
willing to do so. If we do not
stand behind Europe, with eco
nomic support, the bomb and our
manpower, then the Russians will
certainly beat it into submission.
2. BY defending free Europe
and only by doing. so-we can
deny Russian communism the
makings of world conquest.
BY conquering free Europe, the
Soviet Union would gain 200 mil
lion people and would triple its
steel production, bringing 1t close
to the American level unless the
mills were destroyed. 1t would
have full use of free Europe's
restored production in all fields,
now running at 125 per cent of
prewar. Europe's factories, emong
other things, now produce is
million motor vehicles a year.
3. 1t would not only have
Europe, but the Near East and
Africa as well. 1t would in all
probability have the Gil of Iran,
Iraq and Saudi Arabia (to the
extent that the wells were not
destroyed. 1t would have the
phosphates of Morocco. possibly
the pitchblende of the Belgian
Congo.
4. 1t would control the Mediter-
ranean and be able to deny pas
sage to American ships and planes.
S. Control of all Western Europe
would give the Russians bases
which we could never hope to
recover or destroy.
Submarines operating from the
Norwegian channel and even from
British and Irish ports, would
bring our shipping in the Atlantic
to a standstill.
Submarines and aircraft could
probably make an American am
phibious landing impossible.
s. Even if peaceful relations
were restored between the United
States and Soviet Europe, the
United States would be denied a
market that it could not afford
to lose. 1t could retain it only
on Russian terms.
In 1888 the United States sold
$1.189, 100000 worth of goods to
the countries that now lie in non-
Communist Europe. Those nations
sold $485 million worth to us.
In 1948 our shipments to those
countries were worth S4,222, ,000,-
900 and our imports from them
1899 million.
7. Soviet control of Europe
would give Russia the power to
dictate to all of Africa and
eventually to Latin America.
8. All of Asia would be helpless
before the collective power of

Earlier Bass
Season Possible

Conference of the Garrett County
Delegation at Annapolis with men,
bers of the State Game and Inland
Fish Commission this week brought
out the possibility that the open sea-
son on bass might be set at June 20
instead of July LIST, according to in
formation received from Arthur II.
Green.
Mr.. Green told Charles L. Briner,
secretary to the Mt. Top Chamber of
Commerce, that the change was con-
sidered favorable. Fishermen reported
the bass spawning season was over by
that time, and that the change would
result in an increased number of va
cationers being attracted to Deep
Creek Lake.
Progress also was reported on the
bill transferring the Bloomington to
Swanton road from the county to state
for maintenance, Mr.. Green stating
that no trouble in its final passage
was expected. This route shortens the
distance to Cumberland and would be
more improved highway under state
maintenance. The change also would
save the county about $4,000 an
nually, it was stated.
Progress of Bills
H. B. 406, by county delegation, was
passed during the past few days. This
bill makes it a misdemeanor for any
person to collect bounties on foxes or
weasels killed outside the state, and
to specify that the Game and Inland
Fish Commission shall match all
bounties paid in various counties for
killing of foxes and weasels.
Bills passed in the House also in
Guided Senate bill 221, by Fraley, pro-
vding a new charter for the town of
Friendsville and submitting same to
referendum.
Senate bills passed included House
Bill 21O, by the county delegation,
providing $500 annually to the Deer
Park Volunteer Fire Department from
county funds.

County Hit By
8-Inch Snow Fall

Garrett county was hit by a rain
and snow storm from the northeast
on Tuesday night that brought around
eight inches of snow and disrupted
traffic. After several weeks of near
spring weather the blow seemed more
severe.
State and county road crews were
kept busy clearing the highways.
Some of the school buses were unable
to make their complete rounds on
Wednesday morning, cutting school
attendance slightly.
w. w. Dewitt, county roads en-
gineer, said the clearing of dirt roads
was made more difficult because of
the mud underneath.
The storm arrived with tempera-
lures only slightly below the freezing
mark. This morning the thermometer
dropped to 25 degrees above zero, but
the weather appeared to be moderat-
ing. Some snow was still falling this
morning.
F'rostburg in Allegany County had
ten inch snowfall. AS much as Is
inches of snow was reported in parts
of West Virginia.

Warned About Solicitors

Merchants and business men were
being advised this week by the Mt.
Top Chamber Of Commerce, not to
make contributions of money or cloth
ing to persons who solicit them, I'M
less they were certain that there was
legitimate reason.
Henry Arnold, police chief, said he
was asked Monday to check on some
persons who were soliciting clothing
and money, supposedly because they
had been burned out at Gormonia. 1t
was later learned that the persons
were travelling in car with Virginia
license plates, and that the rear seat
seemed filled with articles of cloth
ing.
AS far as is known, there was no
fire at Gormania, and it is supposed
they were soliciting Icr false pre-
lenses.

With the prospects of one small
factory vanishing during the week,
another possibility doomed in the dis
lance. That was the picture presented
to the town Of Oakland by Emeric G.
Dusic president Of the Mt. Top
Chamber of Commerce.
Dusic was informed early this week
by H. Roy Eppelscheimer, of Wheel
ing, w. Va, that he would not locate
his proposed blouse and skirt factory
in Oakland, but would locate in Wheel
ing. He told Mr.. Dusic that the skilled
labor supply already was there and
that factory location was available
Immediately.
Last week the Chamber of Com
merce committee working on the
project had bright hopes, having ar
ranged for the proper amount of floor
space and having promise of most of
the money necessary to underwrite the
plant. But with the announcement
that the new industry would not come

had learned Of another concern in
