Accident Kills
Father Of 3

A 33-year-old Wheaton Md
father of three killed himself last
night with a .22-caliber rifle
which Montgomery County po-
lice said he fired accidentally.
Police said Clyde E. Martin of
1908 Fenimore road died as a
result of a bullet wound in the
chest after an evening of heavy
drinking and arguing with his
wife, Mrs. Goldie Martin.
The shooting took place in the
living room of their home. Mrs.
Martin told police, after her hus-
band had threatened to use the
gun and asked her to get the
children out of the house. Po-
lice said Mr.. Martin earlier had
left home and returned several
times with whisky purchases.
just before the rifle went off,
police were told. he pushed the
gun toward his wife, then stepped
back and it fired accidentally.
AS it went of, police said, he
declared: MY God, I shot my
self"
County detectives decided on
the accident verdict, along with
DR.. John Ball, assistant medical
examiner for the county.
The shooting incident, police
said. was witnessed by two of
the Martin children, Carol Irene,
8, and Keith Jerome, 7. The
third child. Barbara Lee, 5, was
in bed, police said.

Asian Development Corp?

have read or heard most of the ar
guments advanced against Americas
continuing foreign economic aid. Of
course there is waste in the program.
probably considerable waste. Perhaps
the time has come when most of this
economic aid should be in the form of
loans, however soft, instead of in
grants. Probably it would be wise to
create an Asian Development Corpora
ton, for example, and give the Asian
countries actual control, with a major
ity of its board of directors, even
though we put up 80 per cent of the
capital. Or conceivably it might be wise
for us to offer to channel our economic
aid through the United Nations, and
invite Russia to do likewise.
Those Americans who call foreign
economic aid a "give-away program"
and say 1t is of no benefit to the United
States, for the most part fail to realize
its real purpose. Primarily, It Is simply
an effort to enhance our own national
security by reducing the likelihood that
the underdeveloped nations, with their
manpower and natural resources Of min
erals and raw materials, will slide over
from their present positions of neutral
ity into the actual Communist orbit.
Wholly in addition to helping to en-
nance our own national security, eco
nomic aid can be justified on humani-
tartan or spiritual grounds. We Ameri-
cans believe every human being was
born to live his life as free individual,
not to be submerged in collectivist to-
talitarian slavery1 We thus have a
moral obligation to try to help the pow
erty-stricken, largely illiterate, polti.
cally immature new nations that have
only recently emerged from colonialism

sleep, so we will begin by launching the
most spectacular peace movement on
record. There will be electrifying over
tones and unheard of concessions. The
capitalist countries. stupid and deca-
dent, will rejoice to cooperate in their

their guard is down, we shall smash

Now | am entirely aware that many
Of you may be thinking, eyes, but
things have changed and are changing
In Russia" My answer Is. undoubtedly,
In some ways, but let's be certain we
don't do ANYTHING that might jeopardize
our national security until and unless
we are absolutely sure that the Com
munistS are not simply engaging In a
temporary tactic to Iull us into feel
Ing Of false security.
The philosophy of Lenin, the whole
system of long-term strategy and short
term tactics that he outlined for the
Communists to follow in order to take
over the entire world. is far more of a
sacred bible to the Russian Communists
than even Hitler's "Mein Kampf' was
to the German Fascists. The program
that the Russian leaders are currently
following fits in exactly with the STRAIT
egg that Lenin set forth
OF course we should all hope that
there has actually been, or will at some
future date be. fundamental change in
the Russian Communists ambitions for
world dictatorship and the destruction
of the capitalist democracies. But any
one who is naive enough to accept Rus
sian words, before there is unmistak-
able evidence in the form of deeds. that
the Communists have had a basic
change of heart is a dupe who deserves
to retain neither his liberty nor his life.

Must Keep Vigilant

Since our aim is peace, we should, of
course, welcome and encourage every
indication that the Communist system
Is becoming less inhumane and less
menacing. We should at the same time
try to demonstrate to human beings all
over the globe that our free society
holds more promise for them than does
communism, whether they live in Europe
or Asia or Africa or Latin America, and
whether their skins be brown or yellow
or white or black. But we must never
theless keep vigilant and maintain our
military strength unimpaired for the in
definite future.
Until we have attained universal
global disarmament, under complete
continuous and unqualified international
inspection and control, we can never be
sure that Russia may not be planning
sudden, cataclysmic atomic attack on u.s.
personally think ii extremely UNI
likely that Russia will precipitate a
major war In the few wears Immediately
ahead. II Is, nevertheless, possibility,
and when one Is dealing with such a
thing as our freedom, or our very sur
vival, we must take no chances involv-
Ing national security.
What worries me far more than the
remote possibility of Russia's launching
a surprise attack on us in the near flu
ture is the grave possibility that the
Communists may be able in the next
