"Here we rely-not primarily

"Here we know not the sight

Here all of us work to make
our processes of government

the most just, known to any

"FIere we have welcomed

we thank them for the strength

Here there is true equality

resolve age-old prejudices, am
bitions and hatreds that scar
great parts of the whole world.
We must provide machinery
and techniques to encourage
that peaceful communication
and mutual confidence which
alone can finally lift the bur-
den of arms from the backs of
men.
These are some of the grand
laborS before us-the tasks and
tests and problems that span
the world.
For the spirit that will re-
solve them, however, we need
not seek the source in distant
places.
I deeply believe that one Of
the supreme hopes for the
worlds destiny lies in the
American community: Its
moral values, its sense of order
and decency. its cooperative
spirit.
We know-and all the world
constantly reminds us-that
the future well-being of hu-
manity depends directly upon
Americas leadership.
I say emphatically that this
leadership depends no less di-
rectly upon the faith, the cour-
age, the love of freedom and
the capacity for sacrifice of
every American citizen, every
American home, every Ameri-
can community.

The President admonished, as
he has before, that a firm and
durable peace will not be won
easily.
such a peace cannot be
achieved suddenly by force, by
edict, or by treaty" he said. "It
can come only slowly and tor

dark threats or glittering slogans
Gen. Eisenhower said. "It will
be born only of courage, knowl-

In achieving the peace, the
President continued, "host OF

Officials See Problem
OF Funds for Treatinq
| Dope Addicts Here

The District Commissioners
today voiced concern over
whether the city would have
sufficient facilities to hospitalize
drug addicts who would be COM
mitted under a proposed con-
gressional bill.
The question arose during a
brief1ng session held by the Com
missioners and their legal and
medical aides preparatory to
discussing the measure with the
House District Committee tomor-
row at 10 am. The measure has
been introduced by Representa-
tive Miller, Republican. Of
Nebraska.
Would Affect 800.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, the
Districts public health director,
said the latest estimates he has
seen indicate there are more
than 800 addicts who would be
subject to provisions of the bill.
Present facilities at Gallinger
Hospital. which presumablywould
accommodate the drug victims,
are so limited space for only SO
narcotics patients can be found.
DR.. Seckinger emphasized that
additional personnel would have
to be provided to care for the in
creased patient load. The Com
missioners also were worried
about the cost of caring for these
patients. Engineer Commissioner
Louis w. Prentiss estimated so
patients alone would require a
total daily expenditure of about
$500.
Kentucky Hospital Available.
Present expectations are that
treatment Of addicts will be at
the United States Public Health
Hospital for addictS at Lexing-
ton, KY. which says it can han
die them.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue noted that appropriations
to support the measure will be a
main topic of conversation to-
morrow.

Fairfax Group Seeks SibIey;
Hospital Cool to Proposal

The nearest hospitals are in Ar
lington and Alexandria.
Paul B. Cromelin. chairman Of
the Sibley Trustees Board as
well as chief counsel, today de-
scribed the suggested move as
''impracticable" from the hos
pitfalls viewpoint.
MIR. Cromelin said he doubts
the county is in a position to
support 350-bed hospital such
as is contemplated by Sibley
officials.
He pointed out that Sibley
takes patients from all over the
District and Maryland and that
it's physicians would probably not
be willing to move their patients
into Fairfax County.
The lawyer further said that
Sibley is still primarily inter-
ested in linking it's activities
with American University, al
though it's efforts have been
blocked by action of the Zon-
ing Commission.
Mr.. Cromelin hazarded the
guess that what Fairfax County
needs is a good local hospital, -
similar to facilities now existing
in most Of the counties adjacent
to Washington.

Plans to entice the new Sibley
Hospital building into Fairfax
County were disclosed today.
A hospital spokesman, how
ever, gave the idea a chilly re-
ception.
A delegation Of the Fairfax
Lay Health Association appeared
at a meeting Of the Board Of
County Supervisors to urge that
Sibley be given q formal invita-
ton to locate somewhere in the
county. The supervisors indi-
Gated they will take some action
on the request.
Sibley planned to erect a new
hospital on the American Uni
verSity campus. This was
blocked last week by the District
Zoning Commission, after resi-
dents of the neighborhood had
protested.
when we saw Sibley run into
difficulty in the District we
thought it would be a good OPP
portunity to get q hospital for
Fairfax County" said M. x.
O'Sullivan, president Of the
Fairfax Lay Health Association.
Fairfax has no hospital now.

Tax Boost Protested
By Residents in Part
Of CheWChase, Md.

About $40 property owners in
a part of Chevy Chase, Md, today
found themselves liable for near
ly $4,000 in local taxes which
their governing body does not
want to collect.
This situation arises from q
recent increase In Montgomery
County tax assessments which,
incidentally, the County Council
wants to collect.
The Citizens Of Section w,
Chevy Chase held their annual
meeting in the Chevy Chase
Elementary School last night and
protests were loud and long over
the increased assessments.
One citizen reported that he
had gone to the county seat at
Rockville and spot checked the
new tax levels on properties in
Section ".
He reported he had found that
the boost would result in an
average increase of IS per cent
in tax bills, based on the present
tax rate.
It was then that Kenneth N.
Parkinson, a member of the Citi-
zens' Committee which governs
the area, explained the effect
locally of the county'S new
assessment base.
Section W is permitted by law
to levy a local tax of from 20 to
so cents per 500 of assessed
valuation. Last year the ascent
rate was cut to 20 cents. Last
night the committee voted to
retain this minimum rate.
But, according to MIR. Parkin-
son, the local rate must be levied
on the county's assessment base.
Because of the higher valua-
lions, he said, the locality now
will take in between $4,000 and
$4,000 q year more than is
needed for next years budget.
Unless we can get the assess
ments lowered" MIR. Parkinson
said today, I'VE may have to get
the General Assembly to pass q
new law to permit us to go low
er than 20 cents"
The citizens authorized their
community officials to designate
a subcommittee to- examine the
county financial picture and lay
recommendations along with
their protests before the County
Council.
The citizens reelected for
two-year terms Mr.. Parkinson, a
Washington attorney who lives
at 6313 Oakridge avenue, and
Dean Dinwoody of the Bureau Of
National Affairs, who lives at
$500 Meadow lane. ~.
The citizens ratified the COM
mittee's $4,000 street and side
walk improvement program.

District Rent Administrator
Robert F. Cogswell plans to ask
the Commissioners next week to
propose extension of rent con-
troll here to some date beyond
June 80.
The city's rent control pro-
vision will end April 80 under
present law.
Mr.. Cogswell said he thinks
the chances of such an extern
sion by Congress "look from fair
to good" in view of President
Eisenhower'S State of the Union
message Monday. Gen. Eisen-
hover indicated control of rents
should continue in certain de-
Tense areas, and Mr.. Cogswell
said he feels certain the District
would fall into such a category.
The administrator said he
fears that, if controls were al
lowed to die, present rentals
ranging up to $115 a month
here would increase as much as
from Is to 331s per cent.
Present rentals above Sis would
go up to lesser degrees. he said,

intentions yesterday, in an adj
dress before the Washington

development, Stun Clearance

Meanwhile. District law en-
forcement agencies, including the
Metropolitan Police Department,
the Health Department, the
Building Inspectors Department
and others, are expected to
maintain a continual check on
all clubs suspected of violating
local laws.
Mr.. Irelan said that If all
departm ents "harass" these
clubs. there may be q chance of
putting them out of business.
The present policy of District
officials is to charge the clubs
with every possible violation on
which there Is a chance Of getting
q conviction.
