EDITORIAL
UNITED NATIONS DAY

AFTER Z YEARS no one in the world can raise
one single question as to the value of the United Ma
tons. The idea must have been Heaven-sent, and the
proof Of it will unfold as the years go by.
ON H SURFACE the United Nations seems to
he hut the forum where questions are debated, ana
votes taken. But there are countless activities behind
The scene. including the Children's Fund, relief organi-
cations of several kinds, rehabilitation programs, educa-
ton, and what not, and programs from which many I'M
der-privileged areas Of the world are receiving technical
and other relief which will surely brighten their future.
U EVEN ASSUMING that the United Nations
was no more than a forum, it is still worth every penny
put into it. Someone has estimated that it cost each
citizen Of the United States AZ cents per year for our
share in running the U. N, which is the largest single
share. Yet, the cost for World War II was around AZ
cents per day per person. The accuracy Of these figures
is but relative. What is important is the fact that war.
costs ever so much in time, human life and money.
IT IS A TRAGIC commentary on the progress of
civilization that man has learned to conquer the ele-
ments, disease, overcome the forces of nature, yet he
has not learned either to conquer himself, or to live at
peace with his ellowmen. The United Nations, thank
Heaven, is the closest approach to this ideal.
THE MIDDLE EAST situation, coming SO closely
on the. heels of the Hungarian freedom struggle, is
proof Of the value Of the United Nations. Grievances
are aired, and the full force of moral impact upon
wrongdoer nations certainly causes them to think twice.
Today, Turkey is being accused of planning war against
Syria, and the Russians are busy telling their people
that the United States is urging Turkey to start this
war. The whole matter will be aired before the United

Jukurtu Reds Back
Coalition Cabinet

JAKARTA, Indonesia. Jan. IL
ZAP. - IndoneSia's Communist
Party - fourth largest in the
Icountry-announced today it's in
Itention to support the shaky
coalition government of Premier
Ali Sastroamidjojo.
The Communists are bitter
rivals of the Masiumi. the pow
erful Moslem Party which with
drew from the cabinet, leaving
lit a six-party coalition.
Although the Communists won
6 million votes in the 1855 cleo
lions, they were bypassed when
Mr.. Sastroamidjojo formed his
cabinet.
The Masjumi withdrawal gives
the Communists a possible
chance of entering the cabinet
and more opportunity to use
their 80 votes in the 263-seat
parliament which convenes jan
uary 81.

New dangers-often resulting
in blindness-have been recog-
nized by two local ophthalmolo-
gists in the use of modern anti
biotic preparations to treat eye
infections.
These dangers we're revealed
recently by two local physicians
who report that groups of micro
organisms may Nourish in the
presence of the new broad spec
tum antibiotics and adrenal
steriods. In fact, they report,
certain micro organisms may
even be stimulated by them.
The danger is the problem of
what is known in modern medi-
cal terms as superinfection-in-

alarming proportions. They were
first recognized when it was

injuries developed a fungus

the use of the new preparations
This was reported by DR.

Rockville City
Workers Benefit
By Revised Rules

i Rockville's city employees will
benefit from a revision of the per-
seonnel ordinances annual and
sick leave regulations approved
by the Mayor and Council Tues
day night.
More liberal leave provisions
were voted after a study by Coun-
Gilman Alexander Greene of 9th,
er government agencies in the
surrounding areas.
On recommendation of Mr..
Greene, the annual leave was
changed from six days for one
years service; II days, one to
five years service; and IS days
| for five years or more; to Is days
/ for one to three years service
plus one additional day for each
two years after that up to a max
imum of 20 days.
| This change was necessary, ac-
cording to Mr.. Greene, in order
that the city might compete with
the county and federal govern
ments which had more liberal
provisions for the earlier years
of service.
A maximum of Is days sick
leave may now be taken each
year and accumulated up to 90
days instead of the previous 60.
Annual leave may be accumulated
up to 30 days instead of a. The
city now has 81 employees.
The revision was made retro
active to July l, 1856.

that water line bonds on the open
