germs" cause colds, but not the severe
sorts usually suffered once and some
times twice year. There are. in other
words, colds and colds; the usual run"
are not so bad, but could be cut tre-
mendously if the majority Of persons
could be induced to do some social think
ing in regard to the problem.
Even so little motion as lowering the
head before one SneeZes in public will
help. Yet it is motion many seem
unable to make. Indeed, many raise the
head and turn sidewise, thereby sneez-
ing squarely in the face Of some unsus-
pecting person. Too many thoughtlesS
persons cough without the slightest in
hibition, either mentally or physically:
they often cough for no particular reason
except that they have just heard some
one else do it. And always in public
places one must face those who, for
want Of a better name, may be called
harrumpers. ,Harrumpers are large ami
mails with solid red faces and good chest
muscles. When they make that har-
rumping sort of noise, they always man
age to blow their breath on other peo-
pies necks. If there was any known
reason for this harrumping, it would be
different. but surely this is the most
causelessX and unnecessary noise in the
world. II we could get rid of the COM
mon cold. it would get rid Of these

Now that the antihistamine boom has
subsidized, many annual cold sufferers
will wonder what next.
We recall attending a conference at
least 80 years ago in which respirational
diseases were discussed from all angles.
1t was said at that time that nothing
much was known as to how to cure the
common cold. Hopes were held out that
something would be discovered.
Hopes are still being held.
The subject is under renewed investi-
CATION It is too bad that worldwide
rearmament programs cannot be
scrapped for this one.
The billions of dollars spent for de-
struction undoubtedly would lead to
many important discoveries in the curb
ing and curing Of many diseases.
In such humane agenda, undoubtedly
the study of the common cold would
hold most important place. if not the
very first, for here is a disease that
costs millions of dollars every year, to
say nothing of the plain and fancy
suffering.
Some persons are better sufferers than
others. Women usually hold the first
place in suffering without complaint.
The male of the human species likes
to grippe, crouch. or whatever any one
chooses to call it, He may suffer. but he
usually does so with great hue and
cry.
Women hide their disabilities to the
extent that they injure themselves.

to the high heavens. Everybody knows
about it, and to keep him quiet some
body does something about it.
When it comes to the cold, truly COM
mon, grandmother'S remedies still rule,
if one Is sensible: Stay at home, eat
lightly. remain in bed if running fever,
and drink plenty of liquids.
Other ingredients of that formula do
not seem so important nowadays, such as
taking laxative and taking a hot bath.
The latter always was a nuisance.
Who cannot recall the misery suffering
through excessive sweating? Many per-
sons wrapped themselves up in blankets,
and sweated all night Sometimes the
heroic procedure seemed to work.
Sneezing and coughing in the open,
especially in offices, stores, theaters, and
in public vehicles, is one aspect Of the
common cold where much remains to be
done.
For every person who has true social
grasp Of this problem, there probably
are 999 who still do not care. They
sneeze on all and Sundry. at will, re-
peatedly; they carry large boxes of tis-
sues on public vehicles, and seem to
think that because they, personally, are
able to keep going, all others ought to,
too.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. There seem to be two sorts Of
cold germs" those to which one is ac-
customed. and those from strangers. It

its symbolic significance now know more about
it than they do about the terra t1rma of their
own back yards.
Whether Scotland really desires complete
independence, however, is something else again.
The union effected in 1908 when James vi
became James was not altogether political
accident 1t had basis of logic in the close
relation between the north and the south of the
little island shared by the two national COM
munities-three, if we count Wales also. That
bond was established by nature long before
either nation existed. It still persists in eco
nomics, in political science, in culture in practi
cal convenience Some rational measure Of
self-government, however, is the Scots right
as a democratic principle.

Saints Aren't Sissies
The Star of April 16 reported on as
pirants to the role of George Washing

ality for the moment. we wish to con-
slider the contradictory description
quoted above. The saints of history
could hardly be classified as sissies. In
fact they are reported as men Of cour-
age-be it physical or moral. Such
examples as st. John, st. Paul, st. Blase
and st. Francis Xavier are worthy of
mention as men Of extreme courage
directly antithetical to the common
notion of "sissy-type"
The issue Of this letter lies deeper
than a mere criticism of Mr. Cooks
unfortunate choice of words. Today We
Americans must search to find the noble
and the courageous, examples of saint
hood and sanctity. Our moral apathy
is current topic of discussion among
all our citizens.

its theft still largely remains unsolved. Mean

Strengthening Formosu

III announcing the 1OrmaLlOn OF q SpeC1al
new military mission to help build up the
strength Of Generalissimo Chiang'S Nationalist
troops the Defense Department has made clear
that the policy of the United States Government
does not contemplate letting Formosa fall into
the hostile hands of the Chinese Communists
AS a matter of fact, In the statement he
issued just after the aggressors struck in Korea
last June the President left no room for doubt
that he had ordered the Seventh Fleet to inter
pose itself between the island and the mainland
of Red China not only to neutralize the area
and protect the U. MS Korean forces but also
to prevent an amphibious assault by the Chinese
Communists. Further than that he empha-
sized that the future disposition Of Formosa
must await the restoration of security in the
Pacific, peace settlement with Japan, or con-
sideration by the United Nations"
1t seems clear enough that prior to the out
break of the Korean war, the President and the
State Department were favorably inclined to
the idea Of eventually recognizing Peiping and
working out an agreement-in keeping with our
American pledge in the Cairo Declaration-to
let Red China have jurisdiction over Formosa
Since the aggression in Korea, however, and
particularly since the criminal intervention of
the Chinese Communists, that idea has gone out
the window Indeed, according to the New York
Times, there is documentary evidence that at
Wake Island last october Mr.. Truman empha-
sized to General Macarthur that the Govern
meflt had no slightest intention" of turning over
the island to the Kremlin-servng Mao regime
The two men apparently saw eye to eye on all
basic essentials at that time their split coming
later as a result-among other things-of the
Generals open opposition to the policy of keep
ing Chiangs Formosan forces immobilized in
stead of employing them for offensive opera
tions against the mainland.
The indications are that this policy will
continue in effect as far as the immediate future
is concerned. At any rate. the new military
misSion-to be made up of about 100 Army, Navy
and Air Force officers headed by Major General
William c. ChaSe-SeemS to be meant primarily
to direct the strengthening of Generalissimo
Chiangs troops for defensive. not offensive, op-
erations. To that end, the mission is expected
to effect marked increase and speed-up in
arms shipments to Formosa and help train the
Nationalist forces in the use of American mill
tary equipment designed to enable them to hold
the island against attack
Thus, although there appears to have been
no change in the basic naturalization policy an
nounced by the President last June, Chang and
his troops are to be fortified in way that should
do much to insure the security of Formosa and
maintain the island as key bastion in the free
worlds Pacific defensive line It need hardly
be added, of course, that such an improvement
be developed for offensive purposes fact that
may have a SOLDERING effect on the Chinese
Communists

Up to the Water Control Board

Approval of the State Water Control Board
is the only hurdle remaining in the way of a
precedent-setting regional approach to solution
Of nearby Virginia's sewage disposal problems
Formal agreement by Arlington County to join
with Fairfax County, Falls Church and Alexan-
dria in a cooperative survey of sanitation diff
ficulties across the Potomac River clears the
path for the next step, an appeal to the power
full Virginia board for its support. Success of
the undertaking will depend in large measure
on the boards decision.
= The board is in an uncomfortable position.
1t has ordered nearby communities to take i'm
mediate action to reduce river pollution. At the
same time it is urging counties and cities all
over the State to make long-range plans for
cleaning up Virginias water resources, now
Shamefully polluted with untreated sewage and
industrial waste. Arlington County has decided
to take immediate action and, coincidentally to
align itself with other jurisdictions in planning
future action, too Fairfax County, also, appar-
entity is going ahead with immediate plans for
a sewage treatment plant funds for which are
available as result of bond issue referendum,
and with long range plans expected to come from
the regional engineering study. Alexandria, how
ever, is far behind its neighboring counties in
readiness to comply with the State Water Boards
demand for prompt, concrete action. Alexandria'S
ton proceedings which complicated the city's
sewage-dsposal program Alexandria'S plight
will be laid before the board at forthcoming
conference.
The State board, in its proper determination
to abate pollution in the Potomac as soon as
practicable, cannot afford to overlook the desir-
ability of concerted attack on the problem by
all governmental units in the area affected The
board would be wise to weigh the advantages
of immediate, independent, piecemeal action
against the disadvantages CT discouraging joint
planning and possibly joint construction of re-
gional facilities The board should consider that
another six months delay, pending completion
of an engineering survey, might save Alexandra
from making costly investment in plant that
would prove to be unnecessary If joint facilities
are found to be preferable In Short the board
should understand that all political subdivisions
in nearby Virginia are now earnestly working
together to achieve the same objective as that
sought by the board-the averting of dangerously
septic conditions in the river It's approval of
that undertaking should be given without
hesitation.

Democracy in Prince Georges

The recent statement appearing in
The Star, as well as in other papers,
to the effect that the Prince Georges
County Commissioners were not going
to listen to pressure groups, has made
me feel very dismayed at the lack of
understanding on the part Of these men
as to what constitutes pressure group"
The article in question related to the
more than 200 individuals who appeared
at the public hearing on the budget to.
plead for the continuation of the recre-
alton program.
In the old days, when this Nation was
first formed, it was an easy matter for
the elected official to keep informed of
the opinions of his constituents. The
means taken were many-personal con-
tact over the fence, sitting around the
local stores cracker barrel - debates
and forums where the issues were aired
and sides taken. These views, obtained
when our Nation was in its infancy
helped guide policy to make our Nation
what it is today-and its representatives
truly reflected the will of the majority
Of their constituency.
Today, however, with the average
elected officials constituency amounting
to thousands of people, rather than the
hundreds of the old days-it is necessary
that other means be used to give the
elected official the views Of the people
he is supposed to represent.
The budget hearing called by the
County Commissioners was for the osten-
sible purpose of listening to the views
of the people as to how their money
was to be expended. At that hearing
were representatives Of civic groups,
service groups, veterans organizations.
parent-teacher organizations, etc. Each
person who spoke did so as a representa-
tive of many hundreds of people. Many
of the people came from considerable
distance to the hearing, at personal ex-
pense. because they felt so strongly
about certain issues. All sections of our
county were represented there. It was
truly democracy in action; the people
speaking to their representatives on
subjects which they thought of sufficient
Importance to warrant their rousing
themselves from the. usual citizen
apathy. which is all too often found.
and making their desires heard.

Sitter Terms for Drug Peddiers

Testimony received by the House Ways and
Means Committee indicates that drug peddlerS
generally are getting "breaks" from the Federal
courts that they do not deserve. Sellers Of mar
cotics are among the major contributors to
crime in this country especially crime among
youth. The Federal Narcotics Bureau is doing
good Job of helping State and local authorities
control this evil traffic. But court records show
the average sentence given dope peddlers in the
Federal courts is less than two years, with many
of them being placed on probation. Federal OFF,
cials say that Washington is among the cities
with reputation in illicit narcotics circles for
being soft" on violators.
The present law provides a maximum SEN
tence of five years for selling dope. No minimum
sentence is provided. Representative Yates,
Democrat of Illinois has introduced bill which
would put more teeth in the law The Yates bill
has received approval of a House Ways and
Means subcommittee which heard Deputy Mar
coticS Commissioner George w. Cunningham crit
icize court leniency toward drug-law violators.
The bill would provide minimum sentence Of
two years for first offenders, of five years for
second offenders and ten years for third Offend
ers. Mr. Yates theory is the sound one that "if
you can take the pedders out of circulation, it
will do much to curb the drug habit among juve
niles"
That stiff sentences are deterrent to mar
cotics racketeering has been proved by experience
in such places as Brooklyn, Minneapolis and
Memphis, where judges have cracked down on
drug peddlerS with heavy sentences. Federal
authorities have found that sharp drop in the
drug traffic occurred when word got around in
the underworld that drug peddlers were going to
Jail for long terms in those cities. Mr.. Cunning
ham said that the District, on the other hand,
has handed out uniformly weak" sentences. Until
recently, he testified, the maximum sentences in
drug cases here were about equal to the mini
mum sentences given in Baltimore. There has
been some improvement in the past year or so, he
said. While the judges could effect further i'm
provement good case has been made out for
law that would insure uniformly adequate SEN
tences for illegal trafnckers in drugs.
