Rockville's Mayor Dickran Y.
Hovsepian last night revealed

The projects and the dates the
Maryland State Roads Commis-

the next leg of the Washington
National pike, also February Is.
Reported to Council.
This time table was reported
to the Rockville Council last
night, by Mayor Hovsepian. The
highways all win have four lanes.
but work will be. confined to a
single lane at a time to prevent
traffic tie-ups, the Mayor ex-
planned.
The Council instructed that a
letter be written to the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad, urging it
to install gates and blinker
warning lights at grade crossing
on Halpine street and Frederick
avenue, Rockville.
It also directed City Attorney
David Cahoon to attend a hear

B&A Bus Commuters
Lose County Service
Starting Monday

An Interstate Commerce Com
mission ruling will leave several
hundred bus commuters from
nearby Montgomery County
without public transportation
starting Monday.
The area is that part of the
county now served by buses of
the Baltimore & Annapolis Rail-
road Co., which has been provid-
ing service between downtown
Washington and such points as
Kenwood, Potomac and Rock
vile, via Massachusetts, avenue,
Goldsboro road and River road.
The company said 1t will dis
continue the service after. Sum
day becauseseof the ICC ruling
barring 1t from purchasing oper-
ating authority and property
from the defunct Bison Bus
Lines. which Formerly served the
area.
Other Lines Oppose Permit.
The ICC ruling, handed down
on October 4. denied the rail-
roads petition on grounds the
law provides that railroad can
run a motor carrier only if it is
used in connection with rail
transportation. The ICC held it
did not have such service in
Montgomery County.
Representatives Of six other
buslines appeared at the hear
ing in opposition to granting the
permit. In general, according tc
ICC Examiner Irving j. Raley
they did not oppose B. g. A
getting the right to perform the
commuter service in Montgomery
but did oppose it because o1
competition in the charter serv.
ice. The right to perform char
ter service comes automatically
with the right to perform COM
muter service, Mr.. Raley said.
No Appeal Planned.
The Bison Lines went out
of business last year. Last No.
vember, the B. & A. offered tc
buy the equipment and was
granted temporary permission tx
do so.
The firm, since being deniec
a permanent permit, says there
is nothing more it can do. II
does not plan to appeal.
That leaves the area without
bus service. Capital Transit's
nearest line terminates at West.
moreland Circle and the firm
said 1t has no plans to extene
its service.

papers and television. What they saw
during the month was this:
Senator Mccarthy was not exactly in
charge. but he did quickly reduce the
proceedings to something like anarchy by
simply bullying witnesses and committee
members during his question period and
during his points of order"
q No man In the room had both the will.
and the skill to stop Senator Mccarthy
Army witnesses. principally Secretary
Stevens. showed that high civilian officials
had gone to unbelievable lengths to ap-
pease the Mccarthy side over the Schine
issue.
o The Mccarthy side was prepared to rest
its whole case on the claim that it was
fighting communism while any person
opposed to Mccarthy was aiding COM
munism
And the hearings continued into April.
oppenheimer cose
Other top domestic news included the
revelation by atomic scientist j. Robert
Oppenheimer that he had been suspended
by the Atomic Energy Commission from
access to secret atomic energy data. The
reason, he said, was that he was declared
a security risk. His friends Immediately
questioned how the man who had fathered
the A-bomb could be threat to American
security. The final answer to the ques-
ton had to wait until June.
Meanwhile, new Government scandal
broke--in the Federal Housing Admins
tration. 1t seemed several FFIA executives
channeled FILA loan money into their own
pockets.
lndo- Chino Challenge &
Overseas, the United states faced q
direct challenge to It's massive retaliation
policy. Diem Bien Phu seemed sure to
fall. with it. perhaps. the rest Of Wet
Nam. Secretary Dulles asked nine West
ern allies Great Britain, France. Aus
tralia. New Zealand, Wet Nam, Cambodis
and Laos-to join in warning the COM
munists they would help in the defense
of Indo-C China. And In the American Joint
Chiefs Of staff, the National Security
Council, in. the White House and on Cap
itol Hill question was asked: Shall we
go to war alone over Indo- China II nee
eSsary?. y
The word was that President Eisenhower
made the decision himself over important
opposition. There would be no solo inter-
ventiOn.
The allies also turned down interven-
tion. The consensus was that no big deci-
sionS should be made until after the Big
Five had tried negotiation ct Geneva.
The Geneva Conference opened late In
the month with little early action. Secre-.
tary Dulles went home soon after the OPEN
ing, leaving negotiation to tnderlings He
thereby disaSsociated this country TO
some mild degree-from free world con-
tact with Red Chinese representatives and
from any bad bargain that might be
arrived at.
Actually there seemed to be deliberate
stall by the Communists. Obviously they
were waiting to see how they would make
out at the. siege of Diem Bien Phu. A vic
tory there would present the French with
a hopeless war and induce them To be
easy traders. q s.
How well this strategy paid of was seen
In May and June.

A historian looking back at April would
say that the most significant action of
the month was the refusal Of the West to
go to war over Indo-C China, but he also
would be forced to conclude that the

the Capitol on their surprised ears and
who crowded Indo-China of newspaper

cheered the contest on.

School Segregation

May was. in all respects, q month Of
transition on-transition from war toward
uneasy peace in China. transition
from preliminary skirmishes to something
like outright war between Senator Nc
Carthy and the executive branch, and
transition from showdown to speedup in
Congress legislative activities.
But above all, it was month Of transi-
tion for the American Negro-and because
Of this Chief Justice Earl Warren was by
all odds the figure Of the month. It was
Mr.. Warren who, on May II, read the
Supreme Courts unanimous decisions OUT
lawing Segregation inpublic schools.
To Negroes, May II was day of liberia
ton. To persons mainly in the South, who
support segregated education as the only
workable kind. it was .Black Monday"

districts in Delaware, Kansas. Virginia and
South Carolina, and the other concerning
the public schools OF the District OF Co

Dixie would not take the decision lying
down, Late in December, for instance,
voters In Mississippi approved "last-
resort" measure which would abolish public
schools in that State II all other means tn
circumvent the court order failed.
Elsewhere. segregated school systems
prepared for eventual, gradual and even
immediate integration. The District Of
Columbia decided to lower racial bars at
the beginning Of the fall term. Baltimore
City did the same. but the rest Of Mary
land decided to wait for a ruling on how
desegregatiOn would be accomplished. This
decree Is expected in 1855.
Diem Bien Phu FoIIs
On the international ecene, the great
climax came May 7. when the beleaguered
French fortress at- Diem Bien Phu. in
Northern Indo China, fell to the COM
munists after 81 days of siege. The defeat
plunged the Western World into the dark
est despair It had experienced 50 far in
the year.
Dien Bien Phu marked the effective end

evident. Events that occurred In June,
however, made It inevitable that peace of

Nineteen ifty-four, In spite Of all its
distractions and the tnonkeyshineS Of some
of It's major characters. seems to have been
d year in which America demonstrated
its maturity in domestic and world affairs.
There were plenty Of problems confront
ing this country; plenty of excuses for its
leadership to fly of the handle. The fact
that the problems were dealt with calmly
and that few responsible tops were blown
spoke well for both Nation and leadership.
The year saw the death Of the European
Defense Community, partition OF 1ndo-
China and growing intransigence on the
part Of Communist China. But it also
saw the conception Of Western European
Union, the establishment Of an anti Com
munist bloc in Southeast Asia. and the
adoption of relatively solid United Ma
tions front against Red Chinese outrages.
The administration did what it could.
All things considered 1t did them well.
President Eisenhower summed up his at
titude-that while he was human. too;
while he got sore like anyone else. in his
Job patience and fortitude were essential.
This did nothing to endear him to his
right-wing. but If the President and the
rightists seemed farther apart than be-
fore, it was they.-not he-who had moved.
Domestically, there were fears early IN
