In this political failure of the leaders of the DEM
ocratlc Party in Maryland to invite poltckng ladies to their
handpcked pow-wow in Baltimore this week not only was
bunder of considerable political magnitude but its imed
occurrence leads one to wonder just how thcheaded
bunch of politicians can be.
The fact that the original invitation list was revised
after the ladies and others set up howl in no wav mini

The fact that Harold Hammond new president of the
County Council has decided to shorten the Tuesday meet

Letters to the Editor

To The Editor
The Montgomery County Sentinel
The East Rockville Civic Asso-
citation would like to take this OPP
portunity to thank everyone who
contributed in it's drive to collect
food, toys and clothing in order
that needy families might enjoy
Christmas, 1868.
There were so many unknown
doners it would be impossible to
thank each separately, but we do
wish to particularly mention and
extend our sincere appreciation
and thanks to Troop 447 of the
Boy Scouts of America.
We are glad to advise that we
collected $118 in cash; 1000 cans
Of food and large quantity of
toys and clothing. This enabled US
to deliver a good assortment of
gifts to 10 needy families, consist
ing of So adults and children, who
otherwise would have had little, if
anything, for Christmas.
In the beginning, we had only
hoped that our idea to collect
Christmas gifts for needy families
would be successful, but we can
now say that the generosity and
enthusiasm displayed by so many
went far beyond our expectations.
Also, the gratitude with which
your gifts were received by those
for whom intended leaves no doubt
iii our minds but that it was all
worthwhile.

Abmg The
POTOMAC
By Dewitt S. HYDE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Here
is my choice of the ten most signifi-
cant political events in the country
in 1854:
1. There is no real peace yet in
the Far East, but the shooting
stopped in Korea and there were
no new casualty figures in our
newspapers Christmas morning.
When the United States withdrew
it's Seventh Fleet from protection
of the Communist Chinese coast,
evidently that was proof enough to
the enemy that we meant business,
and they signed the armistice by
summer.
2. Controls over prices and
wages were removed last spring,
ard while the cost of living con-
tinued to rise, it was at slower
rate than when controls were in eff
feet. The latest information from
the Department of Labor shows
the cost of living dropped back
down in November, contrary to the
fears of those who said removal of
controls would create further in
flation.
3. The federal government be-
gan action to restore lost authority
to state and local governments. Re-
versing a trend of 20 years, the
first action was approval of the
Tidelands law which settled once
and for all the unnecessary dis
pute as to who had authority over
the coastal Landslide states or the
federal government. The new law
properly favored the states. The
Commission on Intergovernmental
Relations, created by President
Eisenhower, found 70 separate pro-
grams of overlapping federal-state
functions, and set about studying
how to divide them up clearly and
erase this so-called twilight zone"
of authority.
a. Within a few months three
great leaders, Senator Taft, Will
liam Green of the AFL and Philip
Murray of the CLIO, were taken by
death. While they often opposed
one another, these men always
fought for standards they consid-
cred fair far American working
people, and in 1854 their successors
will have to work hard to achieve
their stature.
5. The new look in foreign af-
fairs was unmistakable. Secretary
Dulles told Europeans to get busy
and ratify their defense community
pact; he told the world he would
regard the reelection of Chancellor
Adenouer of West Germany as a
favorable act; President Eisenhow-
Ell challenged the imagination with
his gift of food packages to starv-
ing peoples behind the Iron Cur
tain, and his proposal to share
atomic resources for peaceful uses.
Americans felt they were indeed

NeU School

Mr. Walter A. Williams and Mr.. William F. Prettyman,
two of Rockvies weknown citizens proposed that
the West End elementary school be called the julius
West Elementary School,
These gentlemen have pointed that the school
located the property where the home of julius West
stood and that it is altogether fitting and proper that
he be honored by having educational building named
his honor.
Mr.. West you see, prominent Rockville res
dent and the old Rockville Academy When he died
many ago his will stipulated that his estate be used
to endow the academy now the Rockville Public Library
and should it be for educational purposes
that the fund would revert to his heirs
A Board of Trustees of the old Academy still admins
tiers the West estate for the library.
We endorse and applaud the suggestion of Mr.. Williams
and Mr.. Prettyman.

WASHINGTON Up - A govern
ment researcher said today heavy
cigarette smokers now 40 years
old have from S to Is times great
er a chance than nonsmokers of
developing lung cancer before they
are 90.
He is Sidney J. Cutler, staff
statistician at the National Cancer
Institute at nearby Bethesda, Md,
who emphasized that nobody has
proved cigarettes cause lung can
Ger but added:
at Is fairly clear that whatever
the casual mechanism may be,
smokers are more likely to develop
lung cancer than nonsmokers."
Cutters paper was one of sew
eral, dealing with relationships be-
tween cigarette smoking and can
Ger cases, prepared for the Inter
national Congress of Pathology, a
conference on the causes of d.
sease which is being attended by
specialists from many parts of the
world.
The American Cancer Society an
nounced last June that one of its
studies showed that cigarette
smokers 50 to 70 years old died
earlier, in groups that were stu
died, than other men. But many
scientists have said there is no con-
elusive evidence that cigarettes
themselves bring on cancer.
The tobacco industry has said
more study is needed to determine
causes of cancer and heart ii-
sease,. and has set up an industry
study committee, headed by DR..
Clarence Cook Little.
Little has said he subscribed to
q statement that lone cannot al
this time exclude the possibility
that heavy cigarette smoking and
the tendency to cancer are both
