Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

On this Thanksgiving Day, one
of the things we can be most grateful
for is the knowledge that our gov
eminent is working so diligently to
protect us from Communism.
Some of us in Maryland-particu-
larly those who live in Allegany
County-have had frst-hand expert
ence with Communists stepping into
organizations to which we belong
and trying to run things. Those
people know what the menace is.
The headlines have BEEN proclaim
ing startling facts in the Harry Dex-
ter White spy case, and at the same
time Maryland's Senator Butler has
been doing some very fine work on
the problem of Communism among
certain labor organization leaders.
l talked with Senator Butler about
his subcommittee hearings recently
in Pittsburgh, where organizers, Of
ficials and members of the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine Work
ers Union at the Westinghouse de
Tense plant were interviewed. y
Senator Butler said that out of %
witnesses, 13 took refuge behind the
Fifth Amendment OF the Constitu-
ton, protecting them from self-in-
elimination, when they were asked
if they were Communists. "It's my
unshakable opinion" Senator Butler
said, that when a person under oath
fails to answer whether or not he's
a Communist, not much reliance can
be put on his testimny."
Before we ever began our hear
ings in Pittsburgh" he continued,
I'VE knew of the great amount of
work already done by organized la
Dor to expose and eXpel the members
of their groups who are trying to be-
tray this country. We knew that the
loyal union people would welcome
some help, because they are the first
to realize that in a Communist-con-
trolled system, labor organizations
have no freedom at all"
l thing Senator Buffers remarks
are commendable, and l sincerely
hope that President Eisenhower's re-
cent prediction, that Communism
here in this country will be a closed
issue as the result of renewed dill
gence by this time next year, will
come true.
On the last day of my recent visit
to Texas, where l accompanied the
House Judiciary subcommittee to in
vesigate personal claims arising out
of the Texas City explosion disaster
in 1947, Mrs. Henrietts Sims, of
brought some 80 wom-
en- from Washington County to the
Capital for visit. They toured the
Capitol building and visited the
White House, where they gave Mrs.
Eisenhower a hat as gift. am
sorry not to have met them when
they were here.
On my calendar: Sunday I have
been asked to address the congrega-
ton of the Woodside Methodist
Church in Silver Spring :. Wednes-
day will attend the ground-break-
ing ceremony for the new central
telephone Office at Viers Mill Road
and Connecticut Avenue in Mont
gomery County. Next Thursday
IN speak at the Hagerstown Kiwanis
Club luncheon in the Hotel Alex
ander.

otherwise, for he told his pupils:

Safety Council Notes

Most pedestrian accidents are
needless"
F. J. JamisOn, Assistant Manager
Of the Delaware Safety Council
made that observation today in
speaking in behalf of the November
pedestrian safety program his group
is sponsoring in cooperation with
the National Safety Council.
'In most pedestrian traffic fatali-
ties" Mr.. Jamison said, "the pedes-
trian is violating the law or the
common sense rules of safety.
Statistics on last years motor
vehicle deaths, he said, show that
35 per cent of pedestrians killed in
cities and towns were crossing
streets between intersections, while
another 10 per cent were either
crossing at intersections against the
signal or crossing diagOnally
Another 25 per cent were cross
ing intersections where there was
no Signal" Mr.. JamisOn said. Ger
tainly many of these accidents
would not have occurred if the
pedestrians had exercised caution.
They literally walked themselves to
death"
To be safe-and stay alive-in
traffic, Mr.. JamisOn listed IL rules
for pedestrians. They follow:
1. Cross streets at CORNERS only.
2. Never walk into the street from
between parked cars.
3. Obey traffic signs and signals
cross on Green or WALK only.
Milford chronicle., 1953-11-13

4. Walk on sidewalk-not in street
for GREEN light Cor WALK) or
for gap in traffic if corner has no
traffic signal.
5. Cross streets in crOsswalks-
don't cross intersections diagOnally.
6. Look LEFT and then RIGHT
for traffic while crossing. Watch
sharply for turning cars.
Z. After getting off bus or street.
car, don't go around it front or rear.
Wait until it leaves before crossing.
8. Don't cross street when in
unfit physical condition. Get glasses
if your eyes are bad.
9. Don't play in or run into the
street.
TO- At night in poorly lighted
streets carry something white. Don't
rely on drivers seeing you.
II. Walk on LEFT facing traffic
where there are no sidewalks.

sion, shrank from making public
speeches but didn't hesitate to
speak her mind. took q woman'S
delight in improving her home,
had a lively appreciation of non-
sense, was known to whistle
favorite tunes when she was
alone, and was partial to light
colorS.
She was devoted to her grand
daughter, who became Queen
Elizabeth.
There was a story about their
visit. to a London department
store when Elizabeth was quite
young. The Queen disapprov-
ingly noted the delight of
the little Princess at the atten-
ton she had attracted. Firmly
whisking her charge out of the
store by a side door, the Queen
admonished her: You must
learn to be a lady before you
can be a Queen"

without showing any sign that
you are conscious of his condi-
ton, it probably would put him
on the road to recovery"
She stayed with the wounded
soldier a half hour and after
ward, her voice betraying no part
of her true emotions, she said:

of course. there is nothing one

humor-touched simplicity which
endeared her to the masses.
White-haired, stately, keen
spirited, she won the love of mil
lions for her conscientiousness
as a queen and devotion as a
wife and mother who bore per-
sonal and national tragedy with
fortitude.
She knew tragedy early in life.
Death took Prince Edward, Duke
of Clarence, in 1891, a little more
than a month after their engage
ment. Subsequently she mar
ried his brother George, later to
be King. She suffered the loss
of her son, Prince John, in 1919,
then the loss of her husband in
1886.
Within the year came another
staggering blow-the abdication
of Edward VIII, probably her
favorite son. Edwards renunci-
alton of the throne for love of
the American-born divorce, Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson, un-
questionably caused her agony of
mind.
In later years. when the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor returned
to England for brief visits, the
old Queen always welcomed her
son, but the door was closed to
his wife.
The death of another son, the
Duke of Kent, in an airplane ac-
cident in 1912, was Queen Mary's
most acute personal tragedy of
World War II.
Still another heavy personal
sorrow lay in store for the old
Queen. In September 1851, her
second son, who had become
George vi, fell seriously i'll. A
lung operation was temporarily
successful and for a short time
halted his steady decline in
health. He became strong
enough to observe a happy
Christmas with Queen Mary and
the rest of the royal family.
COnSOled Widow.
But on February, 6, 1852, King
George VI died in his sleep.
Queen Mary, then almost IS,
was stricken with grief but she
rallied strength to comfort the
widowed Queen Elizabeth and
the new ruler, Queen Elizabeth
II.

$50 m. had had a light break

and was ready to start work on
her correspondence. Although
official mail was dealt with by a

replied to all personal letters in
her own angular handwriting.

over mostly to needleWork, in
which she eXcelled, to reading

mother had never spoken on

Served Meals to Troops.
During World War II, when
she lived in the relative security
of the village of Badminton,
Worcestershire. Queen Mary
helped serve meals to troops in
a canteen, organized film shows,
concerts, children's parties, the
atricals and other entertainment.
Often she was seen digging
with a troWel in her vegetable
garden as an example to the viii
layers who had been urged to
dig for victory" to produce more
food for besieged Britain.
In Gloucestershire,' Queen
Mary gave standing orders to
her chauffeur that service
men and women walking along
the highway were to be picked
up. Many former Servicemen
and women remember how the
Queen Mother invited them to
a lift in the old royal car, shook
hands with them, and perhaps
gave them as a souvenir a small
silver medallion inscribed MR." {"
