Along The Potomac
from your Congressman,
DEWITT s. HYDE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 - Resi-
dents of Camp DERRICK, near Fred
erick, may eventually have their
right to vote restored, under the
provisions of a bill I have just in
troduced in Congress.
Because the federal government
has jurisdiction over the camp, its
inhabitants are voteless, just as the
people of the District of Columbia
are. The bill has been referred to
the House Armed Services Cimmit-
tee, and I am urging the members
to make an early and favorable re-
port on it to the Congress.
After studying the Presidents pro-
posals to improve our Social Security
laws, I can state that 1 am in favor
of them and will vote for them if
they are reported out of committee
according to his requests.
The first test of this - and of any
bill - is its constitutionality. In
our Constitution, Congress is re-
quired to promote the general well
fare, of the United States. 1t is
given the task of fighting our enc
mics, and certainly restitution is
one of them.
President Eisenhower has made it
clear that the social security pro-
gram is to supplement, not to re-
place, the many private pension and
insurance plans we now have. The
purpose of social security, he said,
is to increase the standard of living
of older people, but not to provide
them with their only income. I
think this should be repeated again
and again, SO that young people don't
get the idea that the government
will take care of them" when they
are no longer able to work.
After year of careful study of the
existing social security laws, the
President has asked that 100000
more persons be placed within the
system. These would be many pro-
fessional people = doctors, lawyers,
dentists, accountants, architects.
Farm and domestic workers would
be included. People would be per-
mitted to earn more money on their
own during their retirement without
having their social security pay
ments limited. Contributions would
be made to the social security fund
on larger part of peoples income
than is now the case. In addition,
the President has asked that benefit
payments be increased to help cor
rect the terrible burden that in
flation thrust on people of fixed in
comes before the cost of living
stopped rising last year.
Like any other legislation, the
social security problem has had its
political side. There are those who
like to say that this party favors it,
and that party does not. 1 think that
one effect of the Presidents new pro-
posals will be to Danish the thought
that this is a partisan issue. In the
'30's, Republicans helped a Democrat
Congress establish social security.
Now, in the light of nearly two dec
AIDES of experience with it, it is safe
to predict that Democrats are going
to help Republican Congress this
year to improve the law.

Around Town WITH
The Editor

You would normally expect a
story about basketball to be on the
sports page, but this is basketball
story, not only for sports lovers, but
for all my readers who are interested
in the welfare of young people.
Through the cooperation of num-
Der of local organizations, we have
junior basketball league in the COM
munity that play their games on the
courts of the South Potomac and
Woodland Way Junior High Schools.
Through the medium of this league,
a lot of kids not only get the enjoy
ment of playing the game, but they
also learn the value of good sports
manship and clean competition-and
it also keeps a lot of kids off the
streets.
This year, although the league is
in full swing, the kids are playing to
practically empty benches, and that's
what I am writing about.
In every form of sports, those TAX
ing part play a lot better when they
have fans in the stands to cheer them
on. 1t is true, that a number of par
ents turn out to watch the kids play,
but l would like to see real crowds
at all the games of the Junior League.
There is no admission charge for
these games, although they do take
up a collection to help defray ex-
penses, and it would be of ire
mendous help to these kids to find
that the public, in general, are behind
them and their sponsors. We have
six service clubs in Hagerstown; sew
eral lodges; a number of clubs within
the YMCA, and in the churches, and
suggest that these organizations ap-
peal to their members to give an
hour or two of their time, once or
twice a month, to attend the games.
Much has been said and written
about the juvenile problem through
out the nation. People are liberal
enough when asked for donations to
juvenile organizations, but there is a
lot more to the juvenile problem
than just finances.
Let's show the kids of our COM
munity that we are interested in
them and the best way to show that
is by attending some of their sports
activities where your applause will
be really proof of your interest.
Right now, that sports activity is
centered around basketball, so let's
be sure that instead of just playing
to handful of spectators, the kids
will be cheered on by real audience.
l appeal to you to not only attend
some of these basketball games at
the two schools-you will find the
schedules regularly on the sports
pages of the Herald and the Mail =
but also to urge some of your friends
to 60 with you.
1t never fails!
Whenever 1 get to chatting with a
non-smoker, he always winds up by
telling me that would be lot bet
ter off if l threw away my pipe.
So l wasn't bit surprised when.
after telling Ell Ellinger about the
nerve-racking trip 1 had to and from
the printing plant during last We'd
nesday's heavy fog, he came back
with: "You wouldn't be bothered
with nerves if you would throw that
sinking pipe away"

BrowneIl Starts Drive
To ExpeI 'Wetbacks'
BY the Assoeiuted Press

Attorney General Brownell has
launched a concentrated crack
down designed to expel tens Of
thousands Of Mexican farm Ia
borers who have illegally
swarmed across the United
States border into the South
western States.
Mr.. Brownell said yesterday he
is withdrawing more than 400
immigration patrolmen from
other stations in the country for
temporary assignment to the
southern areas of California and
Arizona to round up the Illegal
entrants, commonly called "wet-
backs" and return them to
Mexico.
The temporary assignments
will triple the normal border
patrol Of about $50 men in the
area and provide a working
squad of some 750.
Mr.. Brownell said he also is
asking Congress for two new
laws to combat the "wet-back"
influx. One of these would auth
orize court injunctions to pre-
vent an employer from know
ingly hiring an illegal entrant.
The other would provide for
seizure and forfeiture of any
vehicle or vessel used to trans
port an illegal entrant.

Crafty Don, when he came

liked and slammed out a homer
of his own.
This sudden outbreak of
homers, a rarity in the Con-

the muscle-men of Congress have
come into their own or the out

AGAIN THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM
FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED reason the telephone
system in St. Croix seems doomed. And if this is a defeatist
attitude, perhaps there is some justification for it For years
now this island has needed telephone s%ystem-one that
operates and works in keeping with modern standards Of
efficiency.
YEARS G THE project was set up. Plans we're made,
work started, and. all the rest Of it, in between there were
delays, then more delays, then finally, one day, somebody
announced that the system was ready to be put in operation.
But ahsi not so soon.
WE ARE ALMOST right back where we started. Now
we understand that the installation Of 100 telephones is a
major undertaking calling for the overhaul of the entire
system. But more, the switchboard service is, in the words
Of the general manager, far belotO the standard tohich IS the
goal for the future. It is most difficult to overcome the temp
tation to ask why switchboard BETTING the new system
was not Installed when the ~changeover was made. To the
unframed mind what seems to be needed is efficient opera

IT is GOOD to see that no more names will be used.

when all that was needed was to ask for Mr.. So and So, and

such as we look forward to in the future.
u THROUGH it all, we insist on being optimists,
and look forward to the day when there will indeed be al
telephone system comparable to that Of any town Of our size
on the mainland. We refuse to believe otherwise.
