From a peruSal OF the above hg-
ures it seems that going to war
could be largely a matter of Ae-
sop's fable of the dog who saw
his reflection in the stream and
jumped in for larger piece Of
meat.
AS a matter of fact, the oldest
method of birth control, infanti-
eide, was practiced by peoples
having plenty of room.
Both war and birth control seem
to be matters to be solved by ma
lions by evolving a better sense
of how to govern themselves for
the best advantage of all concern
ed.
Russia with over 25 acres of land
to every man, woman and child
(about 80 times as much as each
Hollander has) is unable to provide
its people the housing space allot-
tie deach inmate of us. Federal
prison. What need has Russia to
go to war? They can live for cen
turtles behind their Iron Curtain,
which the other nations could well
make two-way barrier.
In Italy, India and Spain any
crowding would seem to be due
more to inefficient land distribu-
ton and lack Of agricultural skill
than overcrowding.
In our country, where children
studied English history in gram
mar school and Latin and Greek in
high school, we are inclined to
give prominence to the classic and
Anglo-Saxon presidents to our
form of government, and forget
the part played by the Knicker-
BROKERS of New York or the rise
anil fall of the Dutch Republic.
Why do we not hear about the
necessity of birth control in the
Netherlands (? Several centuries ago
after being the leading power in
the world they had to give up war
as a national industry. They are
getting along on a population den
sity far greater than Japan's, near
" twice that Of Germany and 80
times that Of Russia.

How they feel is not a secret,
The Iron Curtain in Germany is
full Of holes. Both the Evangeli-
cal and Catholic churches are still
active in East Germany-espe-
cially the Evangelical, for East
Germany is predominantly Prot
estant.
Their pastors. priests, and bish-
ops enjoy a greater amount of
freedom than do any other
groups, and are, if anything. in
more than usual intimate touch
with their congregations. Though
prohibited from indulging in poll
tics - although a few of them
have shown exceptional courage
in their pulpits-they certainly
know what their parishioners are
thinking, and they are in touch
with their West German col
leagues, with whom they do not
always see eye to eye.
Furthermore, thousands of let
ters are regularly exchanged be-
tween Germans, East and West.
Nor is it impossible for West Ger
mans to visit the Eastern Zone
far beyond the Berlin Russian
sector with legitimate papers. It
involves much red tape and long
waiting. but among my personal
friends in the West are people
who have, In recent months, been
in Dresden and Leipzig. having
gone there to see parents, chill
dren, or other relatives.
Such contacts are not encour-
aged by the Western authorities,
allied or German. Some suspicion
seems attached to every one who
tries to keep alive such contacts,
unless for a definite propaganda
purpose. The iron curtain exists,
that is to say. on both sides of
the line. In the West, and espe-
cially in Berlin, there is suspicion,
even hostility, toward any one
who tries to keep such contacts,
on purely human level, as there
is toward any one who differs. on
however rational grounds, with
the Adenauer governments and
Western allied policy.
AS far as correspondence be-
tween the two zones is concerned,
friends writing or sending food
and medicines to friends
in the East-of the latter there
is an appalling shortage even of
such simple drugs as aspirin -
have to be very careful not to
involve their East German friends
with the authorities, and the
same is true Of those who write
to the West. But Germans have
become extremely adept at writ
ing and reading between the lines.

When new copies of a film are

He Gives Five Boys
Advice and Place
To Build Coasters
By Meredith S. Buel

A legionnaire who wants to give
boys "a chance I didn't have as a
kid" has turned his garage into a
Soap Box Derby workshop for
coaster pilots.
In fact, E. j. Clark has virtually
turned his house over to them.
When the youngsters get thirsty,
there are soft drinks in the re-
Ifrigerator. In his basement are

Iof power and hand tools for their
IuSe.
Mr.. Clark, who lives at 1877
Abbey place NE, has five boys
building. They work on their
racers two afternoons after school
and on Saturdays. For additional
working space, two boys are con-
Istructing racers in the garage en-
tranceway.
This is the first time the Dis
Itrict Department of the American
Legion has been able to set up a
Derby workshop here. Through
the years, various boys have not
had adequate space or tools to
build in their homes. The plan
to lend helping hand was worked
out by two Legion assistant racing
directors, Robert l.. Ward, jr., and
James N. Holt, with the aid of
Mr.. Clark.

Mr.. Clark. a construction COM
pany superintendent, is an ideal
instructor for the boys. He has
shown them how to make coaster
parts and how to use his power

Orchards, the main agriculture,

crops have been planted between
the trees to give further protec-
ton.
Ponds have been built to receive
surplus water and, incidentally, to
provide water for spraying and

cussed the advisability of seeking
greater powers in a proposed COM

Police Powers Not Included.
The compact between Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia. Pennsyl-
vania, the District and the Fed
eral Government gives the COM
mission the responsibility of abat-
ing pollution in the Potomac
basin. The present compact does
not provide police powers.
It has been suggested that the
commission, in asking for new

request power that would allow it
to develop projects which it would
plan.
The proposed revision will be
studied by the commission mem
