81 billions.

war Communist spy ring.
Delay in publishing the Yalta
record-expected to be followed
by publication of other hitherto
secret accounts of similar World
War II meetings-is attributed
to an underestimate of the work
involved.
This includes checking hun
dreds of documents and getting
clearance for publication from
the British government, as re-
quired under an Anglo -Ameri-
can agreement.
Assistant Secretary of State
Carl w. McCardle is reported
to have ordered the papers pub
lished Immediately after he took
office in early 1858.
But publication last October,
it was understood, would have
required omitting papers which
had not been cleared, leaving
an incomplete record.
Subsequent volumes to follow
the Yalta papers will cover con-
ferenceS in Potsdam. Teheran.

others.

the Report explains, for scienti-
fically gifted men and women to
work with the greatest possible
freedom and initiative toward an
swers to the still unsolved prob
lens of heart and blood vessel
diseases.
Also delineated in the Report
are efforts made in the past year
to come to grips with the prac-
teal problems cardiovascular di-
sease creates for the estimated
100000 Americans who are
heart patients.
An outstanding development in
1854, according to the Report,
was the organization of the AS
Sociation's new Council on Com
munity Service and Education.
This body is charged with guild
ing the Associations programs in
such fields as rehabilitation, vo-
cational guidance counseling for
young cardiacs, work simplifica-
ton for the cardiac housewife
and farmer, cardiac clinics
typical activities through which
Heart Association affiliates and
chapters seek to help the indi-
vidual heart patient.

HABITS: Was killed for sport and
food until about 1927 or 1928, when
hunting both species was prohib-
tied by Federal law, as their num-
bers had seriously decreased; it
decoyed readily and was easy to
kill; unfortunately it has not
shown any appreciable increase in
the United States since the closure
to hunting; they are not shot to
any extent in South America where
they winter, as ammunition is
scarce and expensive, and the birds
small; the reason for the failure
to increase under total protection
is something of a mystery; hunting
apparently was not the cause of
the decrease. Yellow-legs feed on
mollusks, crustaceans, and aquatic
insects such as mosquito larvae.
MANAGEMENT: There can be no
direct management of species that
breed mostly in the far north, and
winter in South America; about
all that can be done-close the
hunting season-has been done.
VALUE: Today there is no partic-
ular value, as for hunting and food
for instance, except for the fact
it is a most attractive shore bird;
it's destruction of mosquito larvae
is on the credit side.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-03-24

RANGE: Breeds from Alaska, CEN
trail Alberta and Labrador south.
Winters in California, Arizona and
south to the Carolinas and Pata-
gonia. Both species are found in
Maryland, mostly during fall and
spring, on fresh water ponds,
marshes and rivers; rarely seen
on the ocean beach but on the
ponds some distance back from the
sea.
DESCRIPTION: Length about IA
inches, the lesser yellow-leg about
II inches; female larger than male;
it is a slim gray and white bird
with long yellow legs; flies with
legs extended behind; sexes colored
alike.
BREEDING: Nest on ground in a
depression near a lake or large
stream; does not nest in Maryland;
lays 3 to A shaped gray-white
eggs blotched with brown; incuba-
ton by both sexes; one brood an
nually. One of the reasons mem

ly intelligent, capable, commun-
ity, and we are definitely inter
ested in keeping our Town as
the people want it, and in pre-.
venting this control from being
placed in any authority outside
of the Town.
1t is feared that this Bill, I'M,
less it is amended, will result in
taxation of our citizens for some,
thing which they do not want,
and which cannot improve our
Town in any way, and any
change which may be forced up
on us would only injure us, since
we are now, and have been for
more than eighty years, a resi-
Dental community and we do not
want any change in our zoning
status unless We the people
make it, as provided in our Char
ter. We are community of
home owners, and there are only
four or five rental properties at
this time.
We believe that by continuing
the matter of coming in the hands
of the people of Washington
Grove, as provided in it's Charter,
would in no way hamper plan
ming and coming of our Town by
the regional authority. If the peo-
pie in upper Montgomery Coun-
ty want this authority extended
to their own area, let the region
al authority make its mistakes
outside of our Town, and not
force upon us obnoxious control
and regulations contrary to the
Charter and the will of the peo-
pie living in our Town. Further,
we believe that it is improper to
amend the Charter of the Town
of Washington Grove by an in
direct action contrary to the will
of the people and contrary to the
specific provisions of the Char
ter, and also contrary to the Mu-
nicipal Home Rule Amendment.
Washington Grove is a unique
community, and we respectfully
urge you to amend this Bill so
that we, the citizens of our Town,
may continue to preserve our
TOWN WITHIN A FOREST, as
an oasis of tranquility and a
rustic jewel in the diadem of our
great Free State of Maryland.
By Irving L. McCathran, Mayor
Town of Washington Grove
