should an understanding of Com
munism be taught in the schools,
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
"Yes. How else can we learn to
recognize our enemies if we don't
know what they are like" she ad-
ded. "Only with the basic under
standing of how the communists
operate can we be aware and ready
for them" she said.
The trip, sponsored by the
Montgomery County League of
Women Voters, included a tour
of the new UN building, visits
to the UN assembly room, the
Security Council and other coun-
Gil rooms. The students were pre-
pared in advance for the trip both
in their classrooms and at a UN
Workshop also sponsored by the
Montgomery County League. They
arrived with a good foundation of
how the UN operates. They were
accompanied by six teachers and
six League members.

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt told 116
Montgomery high school students
touring the United Nations that
as long as countries can meet to
talk over their differences and even
at times throw words at each
other, "they will not resort to
firing bullets at each other"
She said that only by under
standing what the UN is trying
to do, how it operates and the
enormuos problems it faces can
high school students be able to
play role in supporting the
world organization.
Addressing the group during
their all day trip February 10 at
the UN building, Mrs. Roosevelt
said the students could get a
better understanding of the UN
by explaining and trying to an
swer the questions and challenges
arising in their families, with
their friends and in their COM
munities.

tuberculosis Protection
Is A Paramount Necessity

your doctor will be able to tell
you what is wrong. But in fair
ness to yourself and your family,
give the doctor every opportunity
to keep you in good health, and,
Of course, if it's necessary, to treat
your illness.
Next, always take precautions to
avoid those who fail to cover their
coughs and sneezes with a hand
kerchief or tissue. Not only tu-
berculosis, but colds, influenza, and
other diseases are spread through
the spray from cough or sneeze.
Finally, you can find out what
your health department and volun-
tary tuberculosis association are
doing in your area to combat tu-
berculosis, and offer your coopera-
ton. They need it, for tuberculosis
is one of our major health problems.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1953-02-19

Anybody can get tuberculosis, at
any time, and in any place. The
TB germ, the tubercle bacillus, is no
respecter of age, season or climate.
About 100000 persons in this coun-
try have active tuberculosis. 1t
strikes $4,000 Americans every
year.
Yet tuberculosis can be prevent
ed. True as it is that anybody can
get tuberculosis, it is equally true
that nobody need get it. No one
can guarantee that you won't get
tuberculosis, but there are definite
steps you can take to protect your
self and your neighbors, according
to the Maryland tuberculosis As
ISOLATION.
First, you can protect your own
general health, because, in good
health, your body normally can
overcome an occasional small num-
Der of germs, even TB germs. Good
health habits include three regular
and well-balanced meals every day,
and regular and sufficient sleep.
Second, you can get physical
checkup by your doctor at regular
intervals, at least once a year. An
X-ray examination of your chest
should be part of your checkup.
This is an important part of your
protection. If you don't have TB,
the X-ray will show it, and that
will be good news. If you do have
TB, it will be found and treatment
can be started at once.
Don't wait for the time for your
regular examination to see your
doctor if you discover you have
lheen exposed to TB, or if you direct
certain signs in yourself like these:
tired, listless feeling most of
the time, loss of weight without
knowing why, or pains in the chest
or coughs which hang on. At such
times there is no need for alarm;

Senate ClOakrOOm
By J. Glenn Beall
U. S. Senator from Maryland

Your Congress has been in SEES
sion only since January 3rd of this
year, and of course the Administra-
ton did not officially take office
until January 20. However, there
have already been some major &C
complishments and there will be
more to follow.
One of the first acts of Congress
was in the interest of greater effici-
ency in government. In fact, the
first bill to meet with the approval
of both houses and to be signed
by the President provided for an
Under Secretary of State for Ad-
ministration. His duties will be to
reorganize the department.
The Senate itself has done little
reorganizing and will now be a
more efficient legislative body.
When we convened we changed the
size and number of the standing
committees in order to, distribute
evenly the workload; to preserve
the value of long experience and
to make better use of the abilities
of new Senators.
Economies have already been
effected in organizing Senate COM
mittees. An illustration is the
Labor Committee which formerly
had separate stats for each of the
subcommittee. Now one staff will
serve all of them and the saving
is estimated to be about $13O,00O
per year.
This shows that the Federal bud
get can be cut, without impairing
any government service. While
100000 is not even small change
when compared with the total bud
get, we must bear in mind that
such savings when accumulated can
mean tax reduction for the Ameri-
can people.
Abraham Lincoln one hundred
and ten years ago expressed a sound
theory for governmental economy.
He said, "As an individual who
undertakes to live by borrowing
soon finds his original means de-
voured by interest, and next, no
one left to borrow from; so must
it be with a government"

hree-PrOnged Plugs
Make Appliances Safe

Three-pronged electrical ground
ing plugs can be a lifesaver. In
case of a short circuit, they allow
the electricity to find good ground
through a special ground wire.
The fuse will blow out, rendering
the appliance harmless while the
short can be located and fixed.
A. V. Krewatch, University of
Maryland extension agricultural
engineer, advises the use of ground
ing plugs on electric motors or APP
plicances located where people or
livestock can come in contact with
them while standing on the ground
or concrete floors, or near plumb
ing fixtures.
Insurance company statistics
show that carlessly handled 115
volt current can be a killing cur
lent. Short circuited appliances
are dangerous, especially in damp
locations, Krewatch said.
Appliances can be made safe with
the three-pronged plug-ins, and
matching receptacles. All approved
methods of grounding have a
separate metallic path for short
circuited electricity to follow back
to the ground at the service en-
trance.
Grounding through water pipe
is often not sufficient to blow a
fuse, the extension agricultural en-
gineer said. 1t frequently results
in a continuous waste of power with
10 tipoff to the actual danger.

Davidson Offers
TWO Scholarships

Joseph Davidson, president of
the Davidson Transfer & Storage
Co., last week announced his
firms plan to establish scholar
ships at the University of Mary
land and the University of .Balti-
more.
Scholarship awards, consisting
of tuition, textbooks and fees will
be made to one student in the
senior class of each university
specializing in motor Transports
ton, for the scholastic year be-
ginning September, 1858.
Under the program, the stu
dents will be selected at the end
of their junior year by a COM
mittee consisting of the dean of
the college, professor or instructor
of the course, and Mr.. Davidson.
Basis of selection will be stu
dents interest in the motor carrier
field, his apparent ability to sue
coed in this field, and his scholar
ship standing for the previous
three years in the university.
Employment will be offered with
the company during summer va
cation and at other available times
during the senior year.
These are the first scholarships
in motor transport to be offered
in either university, and Mr.
Davidson expressed the hope that
they may be forerunners of other
awards to be presented by the
trucking industry in this area.

Some Wool Washable

While dry cleaning is a must for
most wool clothing, washing is
practical and even preferable for
many knit wool garments and
lightweight flannels and challis.
When it comes to cleanliness and
the least damage to woolens, cloth
ing specialist Helen Shelby, Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice, advises washing wool before
it's deeply soiled.
For less shrinkage, stretching,
weakening or color changing from
repeated laundering, use detergents
made especially for washing fine
fabrics.
Wash woolens gently in luke
warm suds with as little agitation
as possible-preferably a soak
wash for no longer than 10 min
utes. Rinse quickly lifting and
squeezing gently to remove mois-
ture,

Along The
POTOMAC
From Your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

What are YOUR views on
FEDERAL RENT CONTROL?
The subject was debated one day
last week in the House of Repre-
sentatives. We must decide soon
whether to let controls die or
whether the Federal government
should still have authority to let
certain communities impose rent
ceilings where there isn't enough
housing.
Many Congressman feel it should
be up to the legislatures to author
ize the controls in the critical areas
in their own states. The argument
is that they certainly know better
what the conditions are.
! rose to point out to the House
what happened in Montgomery
County not long ago. Rent CON
troll was extended in the county
because there was supposed to be
3 housing shortage. But few
days later request to rezone some
land to permit building a new
apartment was turned down on the
ground there were too many apart
ments already!
Those who want the Federal law
continued perhaps for political
reasons - argued that powerful
lobbyists might control the state
legislatures and that the people
might not get fair protection as a
result. But when they were ques-
toned in the debate as to whether
this meant they didn't trust their
own legislatures, they evaded the
question.

Lost Hope Brought
Death to Many,
Freed POW Says
BY the Associoted Press

INCHON, Aug. ia tall,
wiry New York State soldier who
survived 20 months in Commu-
mist prison camps said today
many Americans buried in crude
graves in North Korea died be-
cause they lost hope.
Sergt. Walter Ouimet, %, of
Chateaugay, N. Y, said in an in
terview that most of the deaths
he saw in a march to the Yalu
River and in Prison Camp l at
Chongsong were because of mall
nutrition or dysentery.
Some would just give up and
quit eating" he said.
II guess they couldn't get used
to the food. They figured there
was no way out for them.
"The Chinese neglected us.
They let the men die and didn't
care.
MANY men just lost hope and
did not fight to live"
Sergt. Ouimet related:
Many men died who could
have been saved with better
medical care and food. Between
June and Christmas, 1851, the
Communists did nothing to save
the lives of the dying.
The camp hospital was merely
a place where stricken men were
taken to die, he said.
