with us since the end OF the
last war we're prompted by
the carrot" OF more Amer
lean dollars In various shapes
and forms. Political friend
ship with the United States
was tolerated rather than
sought.
Some two years ago, when
II appeared that Washington
was only lukewarm toward
Frances policies In North
Africa. the senior officer OF
the French armies, Marshal
JUN, said In a public state
ment that II America con-
tinues TO mix herself up In
Frances affairs, the govern
ment should bang the door In
the face Of the Americans
and leave NATO. He had his
knuckles mildly raped by
his government. but the
statement was received with
loud applause by most people
OF France. especially the
services.
There seems TO be little
doubt, according TO compe-
tent observers, that the reg
ular French army has little
enthusiasm for the,possibility
OF measuring itself against
the Red forces, but Is anxious
TO win a smashing victory
against the Algerians. In re-
cent months the officers
corps is believed TO have be-
come politically important.
There are apprehensions land
hopes) among the French
politicians that II might be
possible TO lift Frances polit-
ical face with the aid of the
army and that some at pres
ent unknown male Joan Of
Arc" might emerge from the
ranks. '
How well founded these
fears and hopes may be is
difhcult to estimate accu-
rately. But one thing seems
likely: II any French leader
demanded that France quit
NATO because Of Americas

Should any President OF
the United States ever 90 10
a summit" conference and
attempt 10 negotiate with the
heads OF other governments2
This question has been
raised because OF the ten
dency nowadays 10 ignore
the lessons OF history and 10
imagine that newfangled
methods can bring peace
when. In truth. the summit"
conference idea means a re-
turn TO the discredited prac-
tice OF the past when mon
archs made private deals
which assumed the people
were but pawns In their
hands.
Perhaps the most sensible
comment and the most per-
suasive criticism OF the sum
NIT" conference method has
come from Dean Acheson,
Secretary Of State in the
Truman administration. He
puts his finger on the real
weaknesses involved In max
ing a President do his own
negotiating instead OF
through the customary chan
nels.
IT should hope" says Mr..
Acheson in a public address.
that our Government would
disentangle itself from the
coils OF the conference at
the summit insofar as that
means that our chief Of state
and head of government. the
President OF the United
States. in his own person,
should be the negotiator and
front-line commander.
This involvement Of the
presidency is a long subject
in itself. 1t is enough to say
here that it has been amply
proved wrong in practice.
The two applicable prece-
dents Of Paris in 1919 and
Geneva in l955-the military
war conferences were not Of
the same nature-were both
failures.

WILLIAM S. WHITE
The Strange Esteem for KnowIond

Already. though the cam
paign in California is not far
advanced. stories are reach
ing here OF instances Of his
sure instinct for excessive
candor- like impatiently
brushing of certain burning
local issues with the air Of a
man with more important
things on his mind.
And when the Senate hears
these accounts II does not
recoil in horror from such
professional ineptitude, as
with another man it surely
would do. II only chuckles
and says: That's old Bill for
you"
The phrase "Old Bill" is
an accolade. II means that
Knowland is a man Of utter
responsibility, in intention If
not always in fact. 1t means
that he is a politician of
rare, If not always perceptive.
courage. 1t means that when
he has given his word he
goes on to the end with It.
Knowland. like nearly all
the other orthodox Repub-
leans, gave much sober at
tention some years ago TO
trying to beat out the brains
-politically-of a man
named Dean Acheson. Mr..
Humans Secretary Of State.
But Knowland never meanly
fought this or any other &C
ton. A pretty good authority
for this is Dean Acheson,
who in public and in private
uses the words honorable
opponent" to describe his
erstwhile antagonist.
There is not much in COM
mon between the elegant,
sensitive and witty Acheson
and the plodding, heavy man
of honest cliches. Knowland.
But there is, after all, this
one point: They both stand
on the upside OF that line
which, as the saying goes.
divides the men from the
boys.

Yule Sales Hit
An-Time High

1857. People have more places
to shop in Rockville and it's my
guess that they're learning to use
their local stores" Jordan ven-
tured.
Wilfred r. Short, manager of
Miller's department store, said
sales were excellent. 1t was the
biggest Christmas we've ever had.
The nightly rush during the last
week was amazing. And we do a
strictly cash-and-carry business
on a self-service basis"
Saul Bendit, manager of
Worth's clothing store, said
fatty that this Christmas sea
son was the biggest he'd seen
in the last IL years.
"Tts my opinion that the peo-
pie who were skeptical buyers
this Fall, because of the recess
sion, spent more freely once they
realized they weren't hurt. We
will wind up about 10 percent
ahead of last year as a whole,
and way ahead of that for the
two weeks ahead of Christmas"
he said.
Melvin Ceppos, manager of
Larry Alan's. mems and boys
store, had one word to sum up
his feeling about the holiday buy
ing season: "Fabulous!"
IT guess we did about 20 TO 25
percent more business this year
than last Christmas. The demand
was greater for everything. If
we had procured a larger stock
around Thanksgiving, we could
have had an even bigger year"
he declared.
Mort Hayes, manager of the
Twinbrook C. c. Murphy store,
said he couldn't compare this
Christmas with last year because
the store wasn't open then. "Bui
I would say we did very good
better than I expected" he said
Irwin Schwartz, owner of the
Young Colony Shop and the Chill
dren's Center, Joined the chorus
with the comment that 'This was
our biggest Christmas in the last
five years"
"It was helped by the fact tha
Christmas came one shopping
day later than It did last year
but altogether. we were about D
percent ahead OF last December.

president of the County Council,

ed with county subdivision regu
lations.
Inherent in implementation of
the law will be such problems
as how long a builder may wait
after clearing land before he
starts building on it; how far
toward landscaping may he be
required to go, etc.
With these questions in mind
and aware that the problem OF
eroding land has not lessened
since 1857, the County Council
last week instructed County
Manager Melvin L. Reese to sci
up a day-long conference session
to discuss soil erosion as it re
lates to the anti-bulldozer law.

Although the law has been on
the books since August, 1857, its
specific powers have never been
spelled out And this is a tough
job, legislators agree.
Though the term "anti-bull.
dozer law" was the. popular de.
scription of both the State and
local laws, the term does not
appear in either. Nevertheless,
intent of the law is to prevent
denuding of land by subdividers
with resultant soil erosion.
There's little or no precedent
for it, and the county will have

Fresh Look at Law
On BuHdozing Due

Interest ran high in 1857 when
State and county legislators
forged new laws regulating soil
conservation and erosion.
Blair Lee III, chairman of the
Montgomery County delegation

counterpart from Baltimore
County, Daniel Brewster, intro
duced a successful amendment to
the States Express Powers act
