Fight for Life

Friday will be D-Day for Montgomery County.
When the County Council meets to consider the budget
for civil defense history will be sitting there judgment
Will the Council neglgently okay the $1,000 bone the
County Manager has thrown to civil defense experts or will
it give us the tools to defend ourselves?
The County's Civil Defense association says at least
$4,000 needed to begin preparations for saving ourselves
in the eventand who thinks it won't come of attack
Outlines of history yet-tobe-wrten already are in
sight:
In years to come, some historian may write
Montgomery County, bordering the Nations Capital,
had failed in its job of keeping the fenes open the
exodus of hundreds of thousands of persons from Washington
crippled because Montgomery County not ready
workable start civil defense would cost each Mont
gomery Counan few pennies in taxes.
Of course Schools roads, salaries and other budget items
are important but only the fight for survival stands out
the ONE thing must do
Common says the Council must allocate enough to
carry out civil defense planning
Federal authorities says already have good plan
Now we need the money to begin.
Next weeks edition should tell the story of whether the
Council will act in the best interest of its constituency
whether "poitics" got in the way of survival.

Editor,
The Sentinel:
Just how Fathers Day came
about l do not know. No doubt
due to the contrast between hav-
ing Mothers Day and not hav-
ing a Fathers Day, also, at that
time.
In 1885, I read where a Repre-.
sentative from California had off
cred a resolution with regard to
bill making Fathers Day ma
tionally-known. l do hope this
becomes a reality, because all
fathers surely merit the honor a
nationally known day could
bring.
On Sunday, June 20, we will
celebrate with father. We only
hear about the self-sacrificine
mothers, while the equally-sacri
ficing father tolls on being q
hero, yet unhonored and unsung
A good fathers protection
gives us a muqb-needed start in
life-a start we cannot get any
other way. 1 asked a neighbor's
boy what he wanted to be wher
he grew up, and he said, Il want
to be Just like my father is" He
really honored his daddy, and we
should too. A fathers love car
never be broken but lives on with
us-memories-through eternity

The Letter Box
The Editor

/
Montgomery County Sentinel:
For some time the readers of
the SENTINEL have put up with
a certain amount of bias as per.
tains to the reporting of City
government affairs and the per.
sonalities on both sides. Altho
those of us who openly support.
ed the present Mayor and Coun.
Gil were prepared for the TRADES
unleashed against us during the
campaign, we had hoped that the
unequivocal majority cast for
Good Government candidates
would earn them the position of
responsibility in the local press,
particularly since they even car
ried the "West End" ward.
1t is disheartening to have
critical judgments passed in your
editorial of May 81 when the de-
tails of the stories have not been
given the coverage in your paper
to enable the readers to read the
editorial in its proper perspective.
For example, l do not recall any
listing of the furry of troubles
=. inherited" by the new Coun-
Gil. What banks is the Council
making faces at? Local banks?
Why? Where is the Town going
to take it banking business as
you state?
Your subscribers deserve to
know the dollars saved on the
discounted bill you referred to as
compared with the interest cost
on the money they borrowed be-
cause of the early payment. I got
the impression at the first Coun-
Gil meeting that the City Manag-
er was recommending that the
bill be paid so that discount could
be taken; is that incorrect? We
deserve a detailed comparison
between what Mr.. Mcdonald re-
ported paragraph 8 of his report
to his Council as reprinted May
13 in the SENTINEL) and what
Suburban now seems to be offer
ing. Is the City looking into dig
ging its own sewer system" or
merely into disposing of sewage
from the system we have?
One of our first acts in Rock
vile was to subscribe to the
SENTINEL. We wanted to get
acquainted with names, business
es, our government, and events.
But one expects rather objective
reporting in the news columns,
and editorial comment on items
which have been published so
that the reader knows what the
editorial is about. 1 submit to you
sir, whoever you may be, that
both are lacking in your treat
ment of Rockville government af-
fairs as for example the May 13
and May 27 issues.
A newspaper has responsible
ties to its readers; for example,
has it been established that
Temporary City Emplyee" of
last week is an employee of the
City and in temporary status?
You are also justified in with
holding letters which contribute
nothing to the public fund of in
formation.
Your advertisers surely must
hope for more Journalistic stat
ure, as some readers do. We buy
a paper principally for reporting,
not for opinions.

The cost of patenting a mining

Dulles Says Communist
Actions at Geneva Gives
Lie To Talk of Peace

WASHINGTON, R - Secretary
of State Dulles said yesterday the
Communists were dragging their
feet on peace negotiations at Gen
eva while intensifying their war
effort in Indochina. He said this
gives the lie to their talk of
loving peace.
Dulles told news conference
he thought developments in the
discussions at Geneva, on both
Korea and Indochina, might come
to- a head in the near future.
Dulles told reporters the adj
ministration has no present plans
for asking Congress for author
ity to intervene in southeast Asia.
He said the reaction to the Eli
senhower administrators call
for a united front of allied ma
tons has not reached the point of
general acceptance that would
make an appeal to Congress a
matter of practical politics.
The United States, he said en-
phatically, has no intention of
dealing with this problem single
handedly unless the Chinest
Communists launch a new mill

SEATT l. E, Up - Northwest
Orient Airlines has announced it
will move its trans-Pacific refuel-

Northwest said the Air Force,

NorthWest's announcement by
