A JinX On Pole In
Rockville Struck 7
Times In II Months?

There seems to be a curse on
pole No. 66510, situated one hun
bred feet north of the entrance to
the colored elementary school on
Ri. 240, Rockville-it has been
struck by cars seven times in the
past eleven months. The latest
accident occurred early Tuesday
morning when Christos H. Amph-
ravis who was driving north failed
to make a sharp turn and ran off
the road striking the pole. Both
he and a. passenger, Kenneth E.
Michaels were taken to Suburban
Hospital by the Rockville Rescue
Squad where they were treated
for shock, decorations and leg in
juries. Both men are from West
minister.
Plans are going forward to
straighten the curve, according to
the Mayor and Council who said
that all utilities have been laid in
preparation for the paving the new
road which will eliminate the sharp
turn. Contrary to the impression
of many, this is not part of the
Rockville bypass construction.

(COnttnned from rage
back from a Christmas trip to rel
atives in Connecticut. Jackie is
very much interested in cowboys,
his grandmother said, and likes to
ride, so the boots were a welcome
gift. Jackie's Christmas was an
extra good one this year as his
mother, who is a secretary in the
Signal Section of Gen. McArthur's
headquarters, was able to spend
the holidays here. She has been
in Tokyo for the past three years,
which is also the length of time

CRIME PROBE FUTURE

1t sometimes happens in a difference
of opinion that both sides are right. This
may have been the case with the question
of whether the special Senate crime in
vestigation should be continued,
There is little question that Sen. Estes
Kefauyer of Tennessee, chairman of the
investigating committee, was right in his
position that the committee should now
turn it's attention to the matter of obtain
ing legislation. The situations uncovered
in the probe indicate glazing needs for
better, tighter laws to curb rackets and
criminal operations, which assume the
scale of big business. Some of this need
doubtless lies in the proper field of fed
eral law. If any careful legislation in this
field is to be achieved in the present ses-
sion of Congress, it is time to get at the
job of drafting and pressing it.
There is also the fact that much of
the need for action is in the field of state
and local law, and much need also, per-
haps the greatest of ALL is in the province
of public attitude. Changes at the state
and community level, in either the form
of law or its enforcement, will come about
only through the demands of an aroused
public. The revelations of the committee
had begun to arouse the public. 1t may
well be that further arousing will be need
ed to get real action.
Regardless of what is done in Wash
ington, the people should not permit the
shocking revelations of this investigation
to be forgotten We give silent consent to
the illegality and corruption which have
been disclosed if we fail to do something
about them

WHY WAR IN 1851 rs NOT
EXPECTED

While no one knows whether the
Soviet Union will start third world con-
flict, there are reasons why European ex-
perts, studying the possibilities consider
ed peace a more likely prospect for the
present year.
], The leaders Of the Communists con-
snue confident that their system will in
o~iEably triumph without war. The non
Communist world, they are certain, will
have economic and social difficulties
which will be followed by revolutionary
shifts toward Communism. This process
will be encouraged by Russia, short of
about war, but the Communist leaders
are convinced that they have nothing to
lose by waiting.
There is Also according to these
sources of information, no popular clamor
for military expansion in Russia. The peo-
pie show no enthusiasm for preventive
war" and if Russia and the Western ma
tons could reach an agreement, the Rus
sian people in general would thoroughly
approve the accomplishment.
The composite opinion of the experts
is that it would be a mistake to believe
that the Russian people or the political
bureau of the Soviet State can be scared
by tough talk or loud explosions. Never
theless, as realsts, the Soviet rulers have
to consider what might happen This in
cludes the possibility of defeat, with con-
quest and occupation and also the de-
struction of Soviet economy by atomic
bombs regardless of how far the Russian
armies march
The U. S. advantage, in connection
with atomic weapons, is tremendous and
the Russians know it as we'll as anybody
else, Moreover, victory in Europe and the
Middle East would not destroy American
bases from which the Baku oil-fields, the
Donets Basins industrial area, the Lenin-
grad industrial region and the industrial
and administrative center of Moscow
could be bombed.
There is another factor which might
exercise considerable influence upon any
decision of the political bureau This is
the fact that the Communists are minor
ity and that a prolonged war might create
dangerous. and belligerent opposition to
Communist control.
Thef Communist area is much larger
than in 1871, when hundreds of thousands
of Ukranians went over to the Germans.
1t IS quite possible that there would be
something like rebellion among some of
the satellite peoples, especially the Poles
and the Czechs.
The Tito detection, based on Yugo-
slavian nationalism, would encourage the
subject peoples where opposition is based
upon national memories and present dis
satisfaction with Russian rule and hard
ships.

SALT FOR WITNESSES

who should control disbursement
of funds. / submit this recon-
mendation for what it may be
worth.
Consult the records of the hos
pital for a representative period,

the percentages of residents OF
the city end county who used the

that proportion during each sub

TELEVIsIoN AND MOVIE MAKERS
AT WAR

|. A battle of economic giants is going
on between the producers of motion pic
lures and the promoters of television, who
have not yet been able to develop their
own dramatic programs. AS result, mo-
vies have been a standard staple on the
teleNisioT channel,
into the fight has come the Federal
Communications Commission which has
advised Hollywood producers to make
leading players and films available to
television if they expect favorable con-,
sidertaion of their own efforts to enter the
television field.
The fight between the two economic
industries has conferred on the fear of
film nrDducers that the use of new films
and star players will reduce the value Of
the movies to theatres. 1t is pointed out
that in areas where television is available,
movie-going has dropped about one-third
in entertainment facility. In addition, the
film industry says that the television peo-
pie pay only $4,000 to $4,000 picture,
whereas the comparatively minor film
must gross around $1,O00,00O to show a
profit. So
ThesF.C.C. points out, in it's statement,
that the success of television will de-
pend, to a large measure, on the ability of
televisibn stations to acquire the best
available films and to utilize the best
available talent and stories in their pro-
grams" 1t estimates that the Commission
1oo - - su4o 4n
encourage the largest and most effective
utilization of television.
The contest between these major in
tersts will, no doubt, be prolonged, but, in
the interest of television development and
the full utilization of the epochal develop
ment, it will be necessary to have enter
tainment and other programs available.
In the present undeyeloped state of tele-
vision, the program-makers are not able
to pay what the film-producers want for
their product. Eventually, they may be
able to do so, but, until the effect of tele-
vision upon the rental of films to theaters
can be determined, the issue raises some
serious questions.
The film-makers take the position
ludt IL is WFoHg 10 expect CHem 10 proVlue
programs for a competitor. Under present
circumstances, this is true, but the posi-
biity exists that, in the future, the use of
films on television will offer greater OPP
portunitles for financial returns from a
picture than the rental of the same film
to movie-houses. We have no idea how the
matter will be resolved but when tele-
vision covers the nation, the pictures will
be available. Upon what terms and under
what conditions, nobody can foretell.
