NEW YORK CITY-President-
elect Dwight D. Eisenhower called
on the American public to support
the 1858 March of Dimes being
conducted throughout the nation
during all of January.
He joined in the annual appeal
after meeting the two Raleigh,
NC, sisters who are pictured on
the 1858 March of Dimes poster.
They are Patricia, 6, and five
year-old Pamela O'Neil, both of
whom were stricken with polio
but now are recovered completely.
"It's hard to believe that these
are the same little girls whose
pictures are on the March of
Dimes poster" he noted. "Now

He urged all, Americans "to
help the others like them by join
ing the March of Dimes"
Later, he joined the poster
girls in making short film which
is being shown by television sta
tons throughout the nation.
This years March of Dimes
follows the all-time record polio
epidemic of 1852 in which more
than $4,000 were stricken. At the
beginning of 1858, there were
$4,000 polio victims of former
years still undergoing treatment,
with financial help from local

Along The
POTOMAC
From Your congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

One of the big events over
shadowing everything else in
Washington this week is the
Korean truce. A great many
critics of the Administration are
accusing it of surrendering and
selling out the South Koreans.
Let us take good look at the
picture before we make such ac-
cusations.
We entered the war for the pur-
pose of stopping Communist ag-
gression. Can anyone say we
didn't stop it? To that end the
United Nations efforts in Korea
were a success. Unified Korea
would, of course, be preferable;
however, Korea was not unified
when the war started. If you will
think back, you will remember that
at all times we were seeking to
unity Korea by political means.
President Eisenhower is right in
saying that we should now con-
tinue to bring about unification by
political means.
The only alternative apparently
is for an all-out war on the
Asiatic mainland. Are the people

County Council Was Patient

We believe the citizens of Montgomery County should
do collective hat in the direction of the County Council
We believe further that the Council should receive "A
awards for patience tolerance and general good humo
say nothing of good many hours spent in the hot seat
of county government.
We refer in particular to the hours which the Council
has just devoted to listening to the pants paudits and
pressures exerted by the zenry in connection with the
fiscal 1854 budget.
From our observation point. the County Council sat
through three long nights of budget hearings which ran
well into the early morning hours two of the nights
They listened carefully well and fairly to all corners and
the corners were many and frequently devious.
No matter what kind of budget the Council finally ap
proves or how high the tax rate let there be complaint
from the taxpayers the kind of treatment they received
The Council gave them and their opinions fair hearing

Rockville, Md.
Gentlemen:
Replying to your editorial or
page of June a issue of The
Sentinel headed "Fireman En-
danger Lives and Property"
Where I come from the fire
department or ambulance has the
right of way and civilian
motorist must yield it by pulling
to the curb and stopping, until
the fire department or ambulance
has passed, or pay a stiff fine for
failure to do so.
If you will take time out the
next time the siren sounds, and
walk to Montgomery Ave. you will
find that 80 percent of the out
of state drivers pull to the side
and stop, while the locals continue
on their way, thus endangering
their own as we'll as other peoples
lives.
The quicker the automobile
drivers of this county learn that
there are laws which give the fire
department and ambulance the
right of way the better. The best
thing for them to do is to pull to
the curb and stop and wait until
the fire department or ambulance
has passed.
If you want to get technical
about it, the US. Mail outranks
the other two in the question of
rights of way. If you do not be-
lieve it try and stop a mail truck
from going through fire lines or
driving over fire hose if the driver
has to in order to get where he
is going.
Yours,
E. Paul Kramer.

of America willing to make this
sacrifice in order to unity Korea?
The critics maintain this truce
is the first military defeat the
United States has suffered. This
is false for several reasons: in
the first place, remember our aim
was to stop aggression-this was
done. In the second place, in
spite of the fact that we have
borne practically all of the cost
and, except for South Korea, the
lions share of the casualties, it is
still not our war but a war be-
tween the UNITED NATIONS
and the Communists. All through
it we have been and are obliged
to consult with the other members
of the United Nations. We must
continue to consult with them I'M
less we Withdraw. Do the Ameri-
can people want to do that?
1t appears to me that President
Eisenhower is doing a masterful
job and it behboves us to. remain
calm, trust in God and keep our
powder dry.

The House Ways and Means
Committee approved legislation
extending the Reciprocal Trade
Law for another year. Inc meas
ure approved is substantially the
same as requested by the Presi-

During this past week I was
given the opportunity to testify
