Outwardly the Eisenhower
administration is calm, deter
mined and optimistic with re-
spect to Indo-China. It has
still to reveal what positive
ideas it has for keeping the
tired French in there fighting.
Secretary of State Dulles
told his press conference that
French forces will win and
that he sees no prospect Of
military reverses serious
enough to upset French plans
for victory. Admiral Radford.
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff. who is f1rmly con-
WINGED the loss Of Indo- China
would be a catastrophe, main
tains the same public attitude.
Privately they know the sit
uation is grim and they are
seeing to it that influential
members of Congress are
briefed on just how grim it
is. These members come away
prepared to agree in theory
but still unwilling to share ad-
ministration responsibility for
the hard choices that must be
made.
No issue before the public
now compares in Importance
with Indo- China, but all the
signs are that it is late in the
day for the White House to
muster the support it must
have from the public and Con-
gress for positive action. In
action and drift are almost in
conceivable, especially with a
soldier-President at the helm,
since every military man has
told Congress over and over
and over again that Indo-
China is strategically crucial,
vastly more important than
Korea for which we fought a
war.
Yet the unpalatable fact is
that an impression has gained
ground already on Capitol Hill
that a truce is the most likely
result Of the Geneva confer
ence next month at which the
Chinese Communists will be
onlookers. If this is not the
case-and all official state
ments and attitudes say no
then much Spadework is
needed to undo the impression.
It is generally accepted that
a truce would be the beginning
of the end in Southeast Asia.
with incalculable consequences
to India, Japan and other
nations now free.
Even If the loss Of Indo-
China did not at once strike
the public generally, it would
be followed inevitably by pres
sure to admit the Chinese Reds
into the United Nations, whose
headquarters are in New York.
This would pose the issue Of
responsibility for Indo- China
in acute form here, putting
and keeping it in the fore
ground exactly as the loss of
China to the Communists has
acquired almost permanent
status as political controversy.

The Commission Reports

We cannot doubt that the report of the Governors Com
mission Judicial Administration Relating to the Need for
Additional Judges the State of Maryland is disappointing
to Montgomery Countans where the need of additional
judge on the Circuit Court has long been felt
The Commission turned thumbs down on the proposed
Constitutional Amendment which would among other things
set up at least one judge for County, except in the First
otand Second Circuits.
30 In its report the Commission agreed that additional
Judge needed in this Circuit but it pointed there no
accumulated arrearage.
In its survey of the judiciary seup the Commission APP
parenty found that the volume of work in many counties
so small that resident udgeshps would be sheer extava
pointed out however that the Chief Judge of the
State Court of Appeals is the head of the judicial system and
as such empowered to assign judges to sit when and where
they're needed
8 While it goes without saying that resident judge is
preferable it appears to that the Commissions
mended dsapprova of the amendment is wise far its
economic aspects concerned In short the cost of State
government, like everything ese is high If judges are
needed in overloaded circuits procedures for getting them
on the books few visiting judges throughout the State
instead of for every county will money for the
PAYERS and do nothing at all to upset the fine workings of

Board of Trade should attempt to

ments and suggestions in this re-

Rockville Board of Trade is 205

Please let US know your feelings
in this matter.
Minimum control such as might
be exerted would consist of regis
tration of solicitors coming into
Rockville for the purpose of soli-
citing where down-payment is
accepted b ythe solicitor before
merchandise is delivered. Upon
the presentation of proper creden-
tials the solicitor would be issued
temporary Identification covering
the period during which he would
work in Rockville, this identified
ton to be surrendered at the con-
clusion of that period. Persons So
licited would be asked to require
this Identification and to report
Immediately any action on the part
of the solicitor which would indi-
cate an attempt to defraud or to
act in other than a legitimate man

immediate action would be taken.
Please let US have your reaction

No Parking AUOWed

AS you've probably read in the Sentinels columns
Of late the County Council has laid down pretty harsh
rules and regulations concerning USE by the public the
parking lot at the new County Office building in Rockville
Those regulations reserve so parking spaces for the
paying public and threaten $50 fine for anyone presumpou
enough to park elsewhere County property plus possible
80 days in the local hoosegow for the offender.
The bulk of the spaces than $780, reserved
of the County.
Now have objection at all to County employees
having parking but do object to such hghhanded
bureaucratic methods of insurng them What's more
think the people who put the dollars which paying
for that extravaganza of stone and steel at the County
are entitled to break Occasionally than so
County residents have little business take up with the
County government and available public parking space

School Bills
One of the school aid bills would
change the method presently used
in computing payments to counties
under the state school equalization
fund law.
The proposal calls for determin-
ing the median ratio of assess
ments to actual sales values of
property in each county, instead of
the present system of basing pay
ments on the total assessable base
with the larger shares going to
lower assessed counties.
If the median system is adopted,
the low counties assessable bases
would be brought in line with the
middle ones, and the higher coun-
ties brought down, and the pay
ments then computed.
Montgomery County, because of
recent reassessment program
will not get any equalization funds
this year. The bill would bring
about $4,000 into the County, the
delegation said.

minimum school tax county may
levy from rs to 65 cents until
