Your July 18th editorial, Spain as

a tragic clarity how utterly impervious
one can be to the fruitful lessons of
recent history.
Our bitter political defeats through
out the whole of Asia have been due
solely to fact which we have consist

Teacher Pensions
Maurice L. HOllod.

There have been many articles con-
corning salary increases for Government
employees and teachers. but I have never
seen word on behalf of retired teach
ers. Those who retired prior to 1916, as
I did, have never had one penny in
crease to meet the higher cost of living.
Won't someone fight for the older peo-
pie, who are physically unable to fight
for themselves? After "a years of ele-

The Star has been giving great deal
OF publicity recently to the "Montgom-
cry County Recreation Department"
which doesn't exist and which has
never existed in the history OF Mont
gomery County.
To be specific. on July 26 fine pho

a series of pictures which have ap-
peared this summer showing recrea-
tional facilities, tournaments, and
new 100000 community center in Ken
sington (pictured July 16), all without
proper captions. All were sponsored,
erected, directed and supervised by the
Maryland National Capital Park and

Good Old Days

In cleaning out some old files, came
across my income tax return for 1928.
In that year my income was $4,658.33,
and, as a married man with one de-
pendent, I paid tax Of $3.50. AS mat
ter of curiosity I checked on what I
would have paid last March under the
same circumstances. found it to be
$3.50. We certainly have gone long,
long way down the socialist trail in the
past 20 years. When will we not-so-free
Americans wake up to what is being
done to us?

Not So Perfect Duy

Arriving home the other evening after
weary day. found letter from the
real estate office stating my rent had
been raised. Being just a Government
worker on an average salary, and wait
ing patiently for the promised pay in
crease, this was blow.
With transportation fares on the
verge Of rising, food going up by de-
grees, clothing and accessories costing
more, I don't quite see where we are
heading
1t looks as though the world is moving
just a bit too fast for it's own good
and the little man is certainly going
to lose his way. regardless of which
way he turns.

Atheist Employer Ordered
To Pay S14O Back Wages

A Silver Spring Photographic
studio operator, whose testimony
in court was qualified by his ad-
mitted disbelief in God, today was
ordered to pay $140 in back wages
to former employe.
Trial Magistrate j. Fendall
Coughlan of Silver Spring Police

5000 claim filed by Majer Schwartz,
AZ. of the first block of R street

The judge threw out a counter
claim for $50 filed by Mr.. Alber-
shein, who charged that Mr..
Schwartz failed to return some
photo proofs when he quit his job
last July.
Judge Coughlan said that be-
cause Mr. and Mrs. Albershein
admitted they did not believe in
God when the case was heard
September 81, he could not give
the same weight to their testimony
as that of Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz.
Both Mr.. Albershein and Mr..
Schwartz were displaced persons.

Children need security, he
continued, and things change

like that because they depend
on things being done in a GER

DR.. Himmelsbach praised the
attention the narcotics situa-
ton has been getting in the
papers.
We should deglamorize drug
addiction. There's nothing about
it that isn't repugnant and re-
pellant. Tell the public the truth
about it. You don't have to
add to the story. It just
shouldn't happen to a dog"
In the long run, he said, the
real solution will be to improve
the mental and emotional
health of the people and to
stamp out the source of drug
supply.

clared, "but you can't arrest a

The commission proposes to
throw dam across the Patuxent
about IL miles west of Laurel
and convert a n mile stretch of
the river between Laurel and Mink
Hollow, near Ashton, into lake.
THE dam would be 1000 feet long
and lis feet high.
Commission officials explained
the project would increase the

turbine power to its water treat
Iment works.
The dam would be the second
on the Patuxent. The sanitary
commission has been getting its
main supply for some years from
dam at Brighton.
About 773 acres would be flood
ed by the new lake, with an addi-
tional 1890 acres to be taken by
the commission on both sides of
the river in Montgomery, Prince
Georges and Howard Counties as
a means of protecting the reser-
Ivoir from pollution.
A commission spokesman said
more than half the properties
along both sides of the projected
reservoir already have been
acquired and the remainder is
expected to be obtained by next
summer.

and would instruct his client not
to answer.
"On December Is, 1947, did

When Mr.. Pearson was in

speech is libelous and untruth-
full. I am trying to determine if
the Senator's quotes are accur-

Il say only the false state

are accurate or not. This is no

With the second dose, the

DR.. Himmelsbach broke ad-

pie. Normal people seldom be-
come addicts. Occasionally doc
tors find an incident where a
patient accidently became ad-
dicted to drugs after medical
treatment, but that doesn't
happen very often" he de-
clared.
Many addicts come from the
borderline group of people who
are the thrill seekers, those who
rebel mildly against social Gus
toms and laws. They are rea-
sonably. but not too well ad-
luSted, he declared.
Many Psychoneurotics.
Many addicts are psychoneu-
roticS with weak mental systems
and weak personalities. They
worry excessively about things
the normal person can handle
competently.
Alcoholism contributes many
addicts to the underworld. They
are seeking comfort for both
the body and mind, DR.. Him

Why does a man turn from
an apparently normal life to a
life of drug addiction?
He does it to escape the nor
NAL problems that you and I

Clifton Himmelsbach, director
of the medical clinic of the
United States Public Health
Service. told the special police

Drug addiction is a behavior
pattern, DR.. Himmelsbach de-
clared, and because all behavior
is contagious, drug addiction is
a dangerous disease which
spreads rapidly. The addict is
a sick person.

Almost all dope addicts have
unsolved emotional problems.
Not only does the addict fail to
escape those problems, but he

But that second dose is
different matter. 1t takes more
