but we know as they do thai
the day the French leave Indo.
China the Communists will take
over. We realize as they de
that the only way they can as.
sure their independence and car
defend it is to continue to fight
side by side with their partners
in the French union against the
forces of Communist colonial
ism which would enslave them
1.-THE free world owes a debt
Of gratitude to the French anc
to the forces of the associated
states for the great sacrifices
they are making in the cause OF
freedom against Communist ag-
gression in Indo-C China.
"The greatest threat to inde-
pendence and freedom for the
nations in this area is no longer
armed overt aggression, but in
ternal subversion and revolution
That is why Korea was so i'm
portant. When the Communists
failed to extend their empire
by overt aggression in Korea,
they lost their chance to extend
their control over the other
nations of Asia.
'They know that if they move
overtly any place else in the
world they will run the risk of
being stopped by the united
forces of the free nations. If
they had not been stopped in
Korea the risk of their moving
somewhere else in Asia or in
Europe would have been in
creased immeasurably.
"The danger from subversive
tactics in this area of the world
is great but I have faith as to the
outcome because I have faith in
the fundamental good sense of
the people. What do the people
of Asia want? They want inde-
pendence. They want economic
progress. They want peace.
They want freedom of choice as
to their culture, religion, and
economic system. They want
fundamental recognition Of their
equal dignity as human beings.
Communism in practice goes
against all these fundamental
desires of the peoples of Asia.
Instead of independence it has
brought colonial Imperialism
and slavery: instead of economic
progress it has brought poverty;
instead of peace it has brought
war; it denies a choice of cul-
ture. a choice of religion or of
economic system to those who
are under Communist domina-
ton.
''The problem is in getting
our message and the message
of the free nations across. We
must recognize that there are
millions of people in this area
of the world who honestly be-
lieve that the United States is
just as great a threat to the
peace of the world as is the
Soviet Union and Communist
China. They believe that we
may use our military power ag-
gressively just as quickly as will
the Communists.
fortunately, under the Pres
ident. we are finally getting the
kind of leadership which is
bringing to the world the true
picture of American policy. In
his speeches of April 16 and be-
fore the United Nations the
President has taken the offensive
in the drive for peace. And for
the first time the Communists
are on the defensive all over the
world.
Every act of racial discrimina-
ton or prejudice in the United
States hurts America as much as
an espionage agent who turns
over a weapon to a foreign en-
emy. Every American citizen
can contribute toward creating
a better understanding of Amer
lean ideals abroad by practicing
and thinking tolerance and re-
spect for human rights every
day of the year"

terms used, is necessarily must
have found that they met this
constitutional test =.
II cannot help but say" the
court added, "that except for the
decision in that case no doubt
would have reached a different
conclusion. To me the term in
front Of is so vague and indef-
mite that it does not meet the
constitutional requirement that
criminal laws should be reason
ably precise as to what act they
intend to prohibit :"
Says Test Not Met.
Judge Digges said he feels the
statutes term "in front of" does
not meet this test because the
world is round and in a broad
sense everything is in front of
everything else"
AS to the contention that the
warrants are defective because
they cite that the alleged offense
occurred in st. Marys County
waters instead of the Potomac,
the court said that defense will
be considered upon proper mo-
ton at the trial.
If the alleged offenSe is shown
to have occurred in the Potomac.
Judge Digges added. it must then
be decided whether the Potomac
lies within the waters of St.
Marys County.
That question was raised, but
not ruled on in another case in
which it was claimed that St.
Marys County, as defined in Acts
of 1895, runs with the shore of
the Potomac and does not in
clude that body of water.

Pro and Con on Sanitary Rate Boosts

Here's what some of the wit
nesses had to say yesterday to
the Maryland Public Service
Commission in arguing for and
against recent rate increases by
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission:
Ralph Miller, Silver Spring at
torney: The Washington SUBJ
urban Sanitary commissioners
don't know what they did (when
they increased rates.. They fol-
lowed the recommendation of one
accountant and thousands of
people suffer-"
Arthur C. Keefer, general
counsel to the sanitary commits
sion: "Some ones got to pay for
these services. We don't get any
money from the State of Mary
land"
Francis Kelly, sanitary COM
mission accountant: Deficit
financing was the custom under
the old commission. They used
construction bond money to
cover up deficits in other &C
counts"
Stephen HOtskO, Government
accountant and member of the
Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring: The new increases were
caused "by a complete change
last year in the commissions
accounting principles and meth
DDS. Practically all administra-
tive and engineering Office ex-
penses, formerly charged for the
most part to the construction
fund, now are charged to oper-
ating accounts"
Townsend Wainwright, f1nan-
cial consultant to the sanitary
commission: The new Accent
sewage charge is designed to. put
the commissions sewage opera
tions in the black by 1857" Re-
tanning the present 27-cent wa
ter rate "gives that account a
chance to build up a little work.
ing capital"
Herbert w. Reichelt, president
of the Prince Georges County
Municipal League: Protested 100
per cent increase in tonnage
rates at Bladensburg incinerator,
although he conceded that the
incinerator was working in the
red. Protested more strongly the
failure of the commission to give
more than two weeks notice of
incinerator rate raise which
didn't give municipalities enough
time to find money to pay.
Harry B. Shaw, sanitary COM
mission chief engineer: De-
Tended new sewage charge. "Un-
til now all sewage construction
costs have been paid out of
front-foot benefit charges Qev-
led against sewer users at a rate
set each year by the commits
sion and based on the total cost
of all such projects in the year
the property owner began re-
ceiving the service). That's un-
fair"
Robert Hacken, 17O7 Bel
vedere boulevard, Silver Spring:
1.-The new sewage charge was
effective as of last March 1, but
it was not announced until
April. I strongly question the
legal right of the commission to
levy such charge without a
30-day notice"
Byron S. HUE, $500 Forest
Glen road, Silver Spring: "I am
a CPA, a member of the Fed
eral bar and have supervised
the operation of public utilities.
1 agree with the statements
made by Mr.. Hotsko."
Wilmer HI. BalderSOn, execu-
tive secretary of the Maryland
D. C. Laundry-Dry Cleaning AS
sociation: Pointing out that five
member establishments in near
by Maryland use 40 million gal
Ions of water annually, he pro-
tested failure of the commission
to charge for its water on
graduated scale.

State Asks Jury Trial.
A hearing in Trial Magistrates
Court was waived when the State
asked a jury trial and Mr..
Sheehan moved for dismissal of
the warrant against him. Mr.. Poe
did not contest the other war
rant. Judge Digges heard argu-
ment on the motion July l.
The defendants are represent
ed by former State Senator Philip
H. Dorsey. Democart, st. Marys
County; his associate, William
o. E. Sterling; John H. T. Bris-
coe, a former Democratic dele
gate to the General Assembly
who has served II years as States
attorney, and Joseph D. Weiner,
acting chairman of the county
Republican Central Committee.
Joseph A. Mattingly, present
States attorney, will prosecute,
with expected aid from the Office
of the State Attorney General.
The law under which the men
were charged has different pro-
visions in other sections of the
State, but in st. Marys County
clearly provides that written per-
mission of owners must be OBJ
tained for Seining in front Of
their properties.
Law Challenged.
Defense counsel contended the
act is invalid, because it Is vague
in it's language and discriminates
against commercial watermen.
They further claimed that the al
legged violation occurred in the
Potomac River and that the law
does not apply there because Vir-
ginia has not concurred as re-
quired by the compact Of 1785.
They also argued that st.
Marys County landowners have
the right to seine opposite their
holdings but cannot exclude
others if they do not do so.
Judge Digges fatty rejected
the second and fourth points.
On the first he said.
1.-THE Court of Appeals has held
the act constitutional and since
the statute I am called upon to
consider uses the same term in

LEONARDTOWN, Md, July
23.-A state law requiring COM
mercial fishermen to obtain per-
mission of st. Marys County
landowners before using nets in
front of their properties has been
ruled constitutional by a judge
who made it clear that he acted
reluctantly.
The opinion. filed yesterday by
Circuit Judge j. Dudley Digges,
upheld validity of warrants
against two haul-seine operators
and set the stage for a court
room battle between rod-and-
reel anglers and men who take
their living from the water.
Judge Digges said he considers
the 30-year-old. seldom used
statue vague and indefinite, "
but added that the State Court
of Appeals has apparently held
the act valid and he feels bound
by that decision
No Trial Date Set.
No date was set for trial of
the case which has aroused bit
ter feeling in tidewater areas and
in nearby metropolitan centers.
The Izaak Walton League is
fighting for its "compleat an
glers" and property owner
against the seiners.
Accusations and counteraccu-
sations have been hurled and an
overt physical act has been al
legged.
Authorities are investigating a
complaint that an attempt was
made to sink a boat owned by
one of the watermen charged.
J. Carroll Sheehan, the COM
plainant, reported that midnight
marauders united the craft from
his wharf at Drayden, moved it
to deep water and chopped big
hole in its bottom.
He told police that corks on
a net in the boat kept it af1oat.
He offered a $500 reward for
apprehension of the raiders.

Formed 10 Get
Facts on Water
City Action on
Shortage Demanded
At Mass Meeting

More than 225 irate citizens
of Rockville, Md, demanded last
night that their mayor and city
council tell them why a "dras-
tic" water shortage exists in the
community and formed a COM
mittee to get an answer.
They also want to know if the
shortage is in any way connected
with the recent illnesses at Chest
nut Lodge Sanitarium, where a
number of nurses have been
stricken with what appeared to
be form of polio.
The mass meeting, called by
Stanley E. Smigel, spokesman
for the group, was held in the
court house.
Councilman j. Warren Milor
was the only city official present.
According to Mr.. Smigel, Mayor
Daniel R. Weddle refused to at
tend.
Charge City Lacks Plan.
Forming themselves into the
Rockville Citizens Action Com
mittee, the group charged city
officials with lacking a con-
crete plan" to provide sufficient
water needs.
Recalling a similar shortage
six years ago. the residents de-
mandolin the form of a petit
tion-a thorough technical sur
vey be made by an independent
outside body of Rockville's pres
ent and future water require
ments and that a report of the
findings be printed in full and
made available to the public.
The row began when the mayor
and council recently passed an
ordinance prohibiting use of
water for washing cars, water
ing lawns and other "non-es-
Sentials."
Councilman Milor told the
group he had asked the council
for a public hearing on the mat
ter and charged that the mayor
refused.
The mass meeting was then
called. Five spokesmen said last
night the mayor promised to at
tend. Later, however, Mayor
Weddle announced plans to hold
a council meeting at $3.50 pm.
next Wednesday in the court
house to discuss the water situa-
ton. He also said he would not
attend the mass gathering since
it was not an official body.
Announcing that nearby COM
munities-Bethesda, Kensington
and Chevy Chase-have reported
no shortages of water. Mr.. Smigel
charged Rockville city officials
with failing to give us the serv-
ice for which we elected them"
Among the questions the group
will ask at next weeks meeting
of the council will be. Mr.. Smigel
said: Do we have enough wells?
Do we have sufficient pumping
equipment? Is there a real short
age of water? If there is a short
age of these materials, why have
plans not been made long ago to
remedy the situation?

Independents Pick
Miles and Hays
For Two Vacancies
By William J. EIvin

by WIIIlom }. 6INIn
An Arlington School Board
candidate rejected by the 1851
Nominating Convention has the
overwhelming Endorsement of the
Arlington Independent Move
ment, a group opposing conven-
ton nominees.
James r. Miles, ST., A, of 1901
North Kirkwood road, a Navy
research engineer, was nomi-
mated on the first ballot at a
mass meeting in Jefferson Junior
High School.
Independent Movements sec
ond nominee was Dolph Hays, 38,
of 1911 Army-Navy drive, an at
torney and a member of the
County Electoral Board. He was
nominated on the third ballot
with 1877 votes, IA less than Mr..
Miles polled.
Named as alternate candidate
was DR.. Lloyd Burk, jr., 36, of
5522 North Seventeenth street,
president of the Arlington Medi-
cal Society. He will file for the
election but will withdraw unless
one of the other Independent
candidates drops out of the race.
Court Action Watched.
Mr.. Miles is a Federal en-
ploye. One reason for designat-
ing an alternate candidate was
the possibility that Federal
workers may be banned by the
courts from serving on the
school board.
The other candidates were
Martin E. Brown, Charles H.
Purcell. jr., Mrs. Richard S. Cut
ter and Howard Stanley.
A crowd of more than 400 ap-
plauded Independent Move
ment's decision to provide oppo-
sition for convention nominees
for the first time since the school
board seats became elective.
Present at the meeting were
the three Independent members
of the County Board elected last
fall, Mrs. Leone Buchholz, DR..
Robert H. Detwiler and Alvin F.
Kimel. County Board Member
George M. Rowzee. jr.. Repub-
lican. also attended. The board
chairman, Robert Peck, Repub-
lican, was out of the county.
Miles Assails Board.
Mr.. Miles lashed out at "the
five egg-heads on the present
school board" He charged
that the school system is being
used ito warp your children with
left-wing propaganda and
to build up a non-partisan
political machine"
They want to control the
school board" Mr.. Miles said,
because they want to control
the minds of your children.
They tell our children
patriotism is a disease and teach
a socialistic philosophy" he de-
clared.
Mr.. Miles name was placed in
nomination by Harley M. Will
liams. who predicted that the
Independent candidates will be
faced by "a blazing campaign Of
left-wing hysteria."
Two years ago the group to
which the Independents are op-
posed, the Convention, rejected
Mr.. Miles as a nominee and
voted for DR.. Barnard Joy and
Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, who
were reelected to the board.
Hits "Wasteful Policies"
Mr.. Hays also attacked ga
small group that believes it has
a divine right to appoint school
board nominees"
The attorney charged that
school funds have not been ex-
pended to the best advantage of
the county. He said a halt has
to be called to "extravagant,
debt-increasing policies"
| He pledged to work for min
imum cost administration"
Mr.. Hays was nominated by
Lawrence Michael. a real estate
man.
Chairman of the mass meet
ing was Attorney Oren r. Lewis.
Keynoter was Conrad P. Harness,
who predicted success for indie
pendent Movements middle of
the-road approach.

campaign.
Good Schooling Platform.
DR.. Draheim said, children

ters discussing the Arlington
school situation and urging
selected citizens to attend the
Arlington Independent Move
ment meeting which nominated
School Board candidates tonight.
My platform is to provide good
schooling for Arlington'S children
as economically as possible"
"The real ISSUE" he said, "is
whether Arlington voters want
School Board members who are
interested in the welfare of the
10000 children who attend our
schools, or members who are
interested in the financial in
terests of the handful of large
taxpayers who pour funds into
AIM campaigns"

Arlington since 1912 and is per-
sonnel officer in the Agriculture

Committee" he said after his
selection, "I pledge my efforts
to continue the program of good
schools for our community. We
cannot stop our progress now
During the campaign we must
inform the voters on all school
matters. The facts are on our
side.
Others seeking the nomina-
tions for the four-year School
