feel certain that if we had kept
close diplomatic contact with
our allies and maintained a

in the Middle East, we coulc
well haye avoided the debacle
that followed. I think it is ar
historic blunder to have found
ourselves on the same side with
expansionist and Communist
Russia in a move to rebuke anc
weaken our allies with whom We
had to fight Jointly two worlc

ours are inseparable.

That part Of the county not

in certain limited areas, on pur-
chaseS from Arlington whose wa
ter comes from Washington's
system. In recent years, how
ever. owing to dry weather pc
RODS and the constant popula-
ton rise. wells have been proving
a steadily less reliable source. AS

Meanwhile, Fairfax city is
considering construction of a
dam on Goose Creek in adjoining
Loudoun County for its own
supply. Planning officials are
concerned over the probability
that establishment of either or
both of the two supply lines
would open the entire northeast
section of the county to even
more intensified housing devel-
opment and proportionately
increased demand for water.
AS it is, county population has
leaped from 41.000 in 1910, to
LOG, 900 in 1850, 175,000 in 1855

county service area might in
clude 10000 acres. With an
average per capita consumption
Of about 100 gallons Of water per
day, that could raise the water

million gallons from the Poto-
mac. will be required for reliable
service. Up to 4 million gallons
now is taken from wells.
ROCKVILLE
The supply comes from 80
deep wells within the So square
miles Of the city limits. Since
1854, the average / million gall
Ions daily has been augmented
by a special connection with
WSSC. which on peak days
pumps as much as another
million gallons into the city. Of
flcials are proceeding with plans
to draw water direct from the
Potomac. These plans do not bar
doing business with WSSC pro-
Ivided a mutually satisfactory
agreement can be reached
whereby Rockville would get all
its water from WSSC.
In 1910. when its population
was rustic 1900, the wells were
easily adequate, providing about
I125. 900 gallons daily.

President Must Decide
Now that the President pro-

of action. we should do every
thins to back him up. We must
at this stage accept the Presi-
dents assessment of what the
situation is. for only the Presi-
dent is in possession of all the
facts, and should therefore be
in a position to tell us the true
state of affairs around the world
1t is the President who must ex-

he cannot delegate that author
ity either to members of his ad-
ministration. or to Congress. OF

Recommendation Listed
These are the steps / have IL

First: An embargo ought to b,

be desirable to have an embarg,
on shipments of all arms to tn,
Middle East by all nations unit

shipped into the area should g
only to the Emergency Forces o

that area. I hear the Russian
are continuing shipment Of arm
to Syria. and I expect they vii
resume shipments to Egypt. Rus
STA must be warned that thes
must stop.
When Russia began penetra
ton of the Middle East by send
ing arms to Egypt more than
year ago we should have warne,
the Kremlin that we would no
stand for this trouble-makin
maneuver. All we had to do wa
to say you can't do that" an,

risk open war by shooting dow

clear that we intended to main

til the Suez Canal problem ha
been completely resolved and ,
