Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1951-07-26

The -Four County Rally" re-
ceived its name because PARIS
Spring is a common boundary point
for Montgomery, Frederick, Car
roll and Howard counties. How
ever, since Howard County has no
organized Christian Endeavor I'M
ion, only the other three counties
will be formally represented. PARIS
Spring is on a farm belonging to
the Alice V. Smith heirs on the
Old Buffalo Road, now Route 27,
about IL miles south Of Ridge
vile.
The featured speaker will be
Rev. B. McClain Cochran, Associate
President of the International
Christian Endeavor Union. The
speakers platform will be built
over the boundary stone, so that
the Bible when opened, will rest
in four counties at once. Musical
numbers will be presented by each
Of the county groups. A history
Of the spring and vicinity will be
Of interest to the general public.
How did PARIS Spring happen to
be located in four counties? 1t is
all explained by the fact that this
spring is the source of the south
branch of the Patapsco River, as
well as the head waters of the
Patuxent. In early days, streams
made convenient points of refer
ence. Thus, in 1850, this spring
was used as a starting line from
which was continued the boundary
between Baltimore County and the
newly created Frederick County.
At this time Frederick County in
cluded all of western Maryland
west of PARIS Spring and north
of a straight line from the lower
mouth of Rock Greek to the Pa
tuxent, "via Seth Hyatt's planta-
ton"
When Montgomery County, nam
ed for General Richard Montgom-
cry, was created in 1776, the spring
was again used as a starting point
for a straight line running to the
Monacacy River. This line forms
the northwest boundary of Mont
gomery County.
Later, in 1886, when Carroll
County - named for the famous
signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence, was created out of Bal
timore and Frederick Counties,
PARIS Spring became a common

Red Cross Asks
Aid For Victims
Of Western Floods

The Montgomery County Red
Cross, All Highland Avenue
urges the citizens of the county
to be generous in contributing to
the aid of the stricken 165,300
persons in eastern Kansas and
central Missouri disrupted by the
history making flood now pour
ing out of Kansas and swelling
the Missouri liver to new crests
along its 200 mile course through
that state.
The real work of the Red Cross
in the flood area is just begin
ming. Its heaviest task is still
ahead. Months from now, long
after the memory of these floods
has slipped from the minds of
people in other sections, the Red
Cross will still be on the job as
sisting the victims. The money
the Red Cross provides for re-
building a house or for refurnish-
ing, or for helping family to
find the means to help itself, will
be given outright not loaned. This
assistance will be given only on
the basis of the needs of the fam
lilies involved. The job will take
at least five million dollars.
The cost of rehabilitation will
exceed available resources for dis
aster relief because of the extern
sive Red Cross program for mem
bers of the armed forces, the Ma
tional Blood Program and other
activities. Also, the $25,OOO,0OO
made available by the federal
government for relief purposes in
no way relieves the Red Cross
from it's fundamental response
bility of relief to families.

Rail WaIkouf Starts
In Britain, Threatens
To Tie Up Country
Freight HondIers Strike
At Manchester, Protesting
Pay Raise Of Only so
BY fhe Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 19.-Fifty mil
lion Britons. already shivering
through a winter of too little coal
and not enough meat. awoke to-
day to the new crisis of a threat
ened national railway strike.
The rail walkout began shortly
after midnight in Manchester,
where $500 freight handlers
stopped work in protest against
a proposed S per cent wage in
crease they consider too small.
Other rail unions made plans to
join them. ........
Only five freight handlers re-
ported for work in the heavily in
dustrialized Manchester area after
the strike decision. Another H.
900, members there of the National
Union of Railwaymen-engineers,
firemen. signalmen, guards and
porters-have promised to join
the walkout at midnight to-
morrow.
Will Follow Trivial Rules.
With all three major British
rail unions seeking a larger wage
increase. spokesmen predicted a
full strike on the nationalized
railways this week unless the gov
ernment's offer is raised.
Leaders of the three unions
meet with the governments rail-
way executive today to press their
demands.
Other strikes and slowdowns
were in prospect. In Sheffield
10000 voted to start working to
the rule today. Amounting to
virtual paralysis of rail activities,
the men follow to the last letter
every obscure regulation in a book
of rules grown fat with trivialities
during the years.
At Birmingham 800 others
adopted the same tactic. At Mex
borough 1900 workers voted to
strike next Sunday. Many other
workers scheduled token 48-hour
stoppages for next week end.

which runs the huge network for
the government, said 1t would cost
too much-f17 million ($47 ,600.-
000)-to grant them.
AS the rail chiefs talk today, the
cabinet hears a report on the sit
uation from Labor Minister Aneu-
rim Bevan. The fiery Welshman,

Two Witnesses Return
To Testify Further
Before Crime Probers
Polizzi and Rieciordi
Have Police Records
Relating TO Murders

Two witnesses with police rec
ords voluntarily appeared before
Senate crime investigators today
to amplify their previous sworn
statements and give answers on
which they had been silent.
Alfred Chg AID Polizzi, former
Cleveland bootlegger and Miami
businessman. was required to read
a Cleveland police circular which
described him as a suspect wanted
in connection with a double mur-
der. No formal charge was placed
against him in this case.
In Cleveland last month Polizzi
had refused to answer questions
relating to his activities prior to
1945. His attorney, Pat Whitaker
of Tampa, Fla, told the Kefauver
committee that Polizzi had re-
fused to answer the questions on
advice of counsel because the sub
ject matter was not within the
scope of the investigation.
Reappear Voluntarily.
MY client is contemptious in
no way of the committees au-
thority," Mr.. Whitaker declared,
"and reappears voluntarily at his
own expense to answer questions. :"
A committee staff member told
reporters that the investigators
had been considering citing Po-
lizzi for contempt of Congress.
Chairman Kefauver said that
Polizzl had testified in Cleveland
that he lett that city and went
to Florida in an effort to get away
from his past and enter a legiti-
mate business.
Polizzi was questioned at length
about, his connection with a
Mama Beach hotel described by
the committee investigators as a
known hangout for kingpins in
the rackets." Polizzi Indignantly

Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army
chief of staff. told Congress to-
day Russia has the equivalent of
ITO American divisions under
arms, denying Stalin's recent claim
that he has diSarmed.
Testifying on the need for four
more American divisions as part
of the Western European defense
force. the general was asked about
Stains recent claim.
Eyes. sir, we know quite GER
tainly that Russia has today
somewhere between ITS to 200
divisions and they are backed by
a number Of divisions in satellite
countries" he replied.
The general explained that a
Russian division ranges from H.
900 to $4,000 men. while an Amer
ican division has $4,000 men,
making their strength for purposes
Of comparison Ito divisions.
No Army Officer Gag.
The Army chief also denied
fatty to Senator Lodge. Repub-
lican. of Massachusetts,, that there
is any gag on Army officers when
they are called before congress
sional committees. He said the
rule is that they state the con-
sidered judgment of the depart
ment, but in answering questions
they are free to give their per-
sonal opinions but they are clearly
labeled as personal.
The general then told Senator
Democrat, of Georgia
that his support of the admins
tration plan to send four more
divisions to Europe now repre-
sents his personal as well as
official view.
I'm opening his testimony,
Gen. Collins said no amount
of air and sea power alone
could prevent the overrunning
of Western Europe. The war
in Korea has proved this fact,
he testified, answering the argu-
ments of former President
Hoover.
Two Others to Testify.
Admiral Sherman, Chief OF
Naval Operations, and Gen. VAN

ishes his testimony.
