CONSTANTINE BROWN
PI0nnedVi Held Sign of Determination
By Free World to Shore Up Defenses

there is only the question Of
adequate defense involved.
Few in Congress. on either
side Of the aisle, will beedis-
posed to obstruct or harass
American efforts toward a
common defense against q
common enemy. On other
aspects of foreign affairs
there will be and should be
lots Of criticism. But on de-
Tense, there should be q firm
unity.
Belgian statesman Paul
Henri Spaak is the man who
suggested the presidential
visit to Paris. As Secretary
General Of NATO. the astute
Belgian sat in on the recently
concluded talks between Mr..
Eisenhower and British Prime
Minister Macmillan. He pro-
posed that the free world
make Of the. coming NATO
conference q summit" meet
ing. with the presence Of the
heads : Of state lending the
proper atmosphere Of impor-
lance and vitality to the de-
alterations.
NATO, as presently consti-
tuted, could do no more than
delay Q determined Russian
attack on Western Europe.
In the field Of missiles and
rockets 1t could do less than
that today, In view of the
great advances the Soviets
have obviously made in the
field Of these deadly weap-

paradoxical.. but it is doubt
less easier to direct o MILF
tary organization In the
midst of q hot war than it
is to conduct the Govern
ment Of the United States
In the midst Of a cold war.
The Soviet regime not only
conducts q censorship, but it
picks and chooses what rep
resentatives of newspapers it
viii permit to take UP resi-
dence In Moscow and how
much contact they can have
with the Russian people. 1t
controls rigidly the export Of
news.
The American system is
far more difficult to oper-
ate than the Soviet system,
yet few persons, of course, in
America would want to see
the Communist pattern fol-
lowed here. Totalitarian gov
eminent, Of course. can order
a parliament to do its bidding,
can force its workers to COM
centrate on missile projects
while the standard Of living
goes down Tor the masses,
and can control any kind Of
political opposition through
intimidation Of opponents
and by manipulation Of the
local press.
Many handicaps in dealing
with public opinion make the
job Of the President Of the
United States in conducting
foreign relations more diff
ficult than is generally real
lied. Also. the partisanship
of the politicians is RESPONSE
BILE for q propaganda which
has for its object the gaining
Of votes in the election but
which actually tends to ham
string government, UNDER
mine public confidence and
produce disunity at the very
time that unity is essential.

progress is made at all by the

ity was needed, but no home could be found
for it,,
High real estate prices in the area
made the problem seem impossible of
solution The same dilemma was facing
other groups trying to set up clubs in Fair
fax County.
The break came in October when
Franklin~Reed, operator of the Beacon Hill
Airport, offered to lend to the citizens
association a vacant restaurant on Route /,
once private club.
INTENDED for a year, the building
needed grooming. But it had exciting pos
SibilitieS-a spacious dance floor, attrac-
tive fireplace, small bar and tables and
chairs left over from its restaurant career
Things began to SNOWFALL Associa-
ton members started raising funds, while
Mrs Carrie Johnson, the registrar of voters
in Groveton, promoted membership cam
paign.
Warren Seymour, IS, who works in
DRIVEN restaurant heard girls talking
about a teen-age club" He volunteered for
telephone roundup, then, with Suzanne
Maurer, Mount Vernon High School
senior, launched the cleanup of the club
building.
1t was no surprise when he was
elected first president of the club.
The KiWanis Club of Groveton Clipped
in $3.50, which was spent for cleaning ma

This is a story about hero whose
feats are told in a current movie-and
about the feats he and his neighbors per-
formed without glance from the movie
industry.
Events resembling miracles occur. In
the movie, the United States Air Force
sends planes to rescue 400 Korean orphans.
In Groveton, Va, an airfield owner lends a
piece of property to rescue the dream of a
teen-age club
The movie Battle Hymn" relates how
Col. Dean Hess, a miniSter-soldier, was as
signed to Korea to create an air force, but
found time to save orphans from the path
of destruction.
His successful appeal to the Air Force
for evacuation planes is one of the high
points of the film. In its preface, his work
is praised as demonstrating mans ca
pacity for good"
A year ago, as Pentagon commuter,
Col. Hess found new tests for that capacity.
Though he had help, the odds seemed as
long as they did in Korea
The father of teen-ager, Col. Hess
joined with a group of Groveton Citizens
Association leaders in an attempt to set up
teen club.
"There was absolutely nothing for the
young people to do" he recalled An adj
visory council decided some teen-age facil-

terials, paints, brushes and brooms The
teen-agerS applied the elbow grease to
floors, windows, Venetian blinds and walls.
Friday night dances got under way in
November, but membership Jagged.
Early this month, Col Hess, who had
largely withdrawn from community activ-
ity because of absences from Groveton on
business, threw a movie party for the teen
ayers, hosting private screening of the
Battle Hymn" film in Washington.
This event stimulated MEMBERSHIPS,
which rose to 80.
Now the club is planning tag day"
in Groveton on February 6, to raise money
for equipping the club with piano, ping
pong table and pool table.
Joseph Winslow, co-ordinator of the
teen-age project for the citizens associa-
ton, says he's sure the club is now on its
feet, with participation picking up weekly.
Eventually, the restaurant site will be
surrendered when a shopping center is
built around it, but that's problem for
another day.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Winslow hopes to build
program of teen-age activity-crafts
hikes, dances and parties-that will con-
vince the community that the miracle
should be made permanent.

Slower Resigns AS
Attorney To Board

w. Dwight Slower has resigned
his appointment as attorney to the
Board of County Commissioners
effective September 30, it was an
nounced Monday by H. d. Swart-
zentruber, president.
Slower, in his letter to the board
said the resignation was due to the
press of other business and his
lack of time to devote to the office.
Meeting in regular session on
Tuesday the Board appointed Lewis
R. Jones to succeed Mr.. Slower.
Slower had been attorney to the
board since the new members took
office in December, 1854. Mr.. Jones
is a native Garrett countian, and
after being graduated from the
University of Maryland law school
IN 1889, was admitted to practice
law in Maryland courts of that
year. He has practiced law in this
county since that time with the
exception of three years service
with u. S. Coast Guard, 1912 to
