In this column I have al
ready written Of the corr
ruption that inevitably ac-
companies the Capitalization
and concentration Of politi-
cal. economic, and police
power.
This concentration, BY
whatever name 1t calls itself
and under whatever "ideol-
ogy" it operates, Is the
essence Of totalitarianism.
Whether or not 1t eliminates
in the dictatorship Of one
man, the system itself is a
collective dictatorship Of in
ternal great powers, and Of
bureaucr cratic institutions
against which the individ-
ual citizen is quite helpless.
The sense Of helplessness
leads to corruption via col
laboration-the acquisition Of
favors by the extension Of
them. 1t also leads to the
utmost servility. People con-
form to and collaborate with
what they cannot, or think
they cannot, successfully OPP
pose. Public behavior adjusts
itself as it does to an army
Of occupation.
The Capitalization Of eco
nomic, financial, political
and, Of course, police power
in a huge interlocking net
work of Federal agencies and
bureaucracies saps the en-
ergies of the States and the
small communities and, to
the extent that it does so,
reduces the amount OF genu-
inc self-government-if un-
resisted--to nil. The taxpayer
cannot successfully demand
an accounting of the funds
that deplete his income by
from 20 to 95 per cent be-
cause budgets are so astro-
nomical that nobody can
scrutinize all details.
It obliterates the lines be-
tween political parties. Al

Additionally, the imminent

that Alaskan statehood

nonsense.
Bickering over economic
details is foolishness. indeed,
even criminally reckless in
these perilous days when the

against the ever-growing
menace of imperialistic COM
munism, led by an increas-
ingly belligerent Moscow.
Canada's contribution to the

by its very nature one of the

purpose Of q teacher pay

long the residents Of Mont

When one buys q house. he
does so with the idea that
his salary is SUFFICIENT to pay
the taxes. When the taxes,
year by year, increase at a
far greater rate than ones
salary what is one to do? The
taxes have just about doubled
during the past 10 years. How
many salaries have doubled?

this continues the only resi-
dents left in Montgomery
County will be the very rich.
They will send their children
to private schools and there
will be no need for public
schools. Then what?
More schools certainly are
necessary. but need they be

On Routing 24O
l am no expert or authority
on road planning. but since
] have been reading nearly
every night. it seems. about
which way Route 240 should
come into the District, /
would like to contribute my
two cents worth. The contro-
versy Of whether Route 240
should follow the river route,
Wisconsin avenue. or even
come down North Capitol
street, swings back and forth
like a pendulum on a clock
with perpetual motion as no
decision is reached.
Here is my suggestion
whether the engineering as
pect of it would be possible
! do not know:
Why not bring Route 240
straight down from Rockville
along Seven Locks road to
Cabin John and build a bridge
there to Virginia. This way
it could completely bypass
the. District and congested
residential part Of Virginia
for through truck traffic.
Then build a divided freeway
straight along the Potomac
River-one side to be between
the canal and the palisades
or cliff by whiting down
part Of the palisade. There
are no houses on the lower
level to speak of. The other
lane could be built between
the canal and the river by
elevating and filing in the
ground on this side with the
rock which is whitfield away
from the palisade. You would
have an unobstructed high
way-no cross streets to worry
about or tunnels to build,
etc. And it even would be
enthusiastically enhance the
beauty Of the city with a
necklace Of lights rejecting
in the river at night. This
highway could lead straight
into Constitution avenue,
should anyone want to enter
the heart Of the District. No
property owner would be dis
rupted.
To me this would be the
obvious solution and the most
direct route, no matter where
your destination might be.
An extended East-West high
way built west from Wiscon-
sin avenue to join Route 240
at Cabin John could carry
your east traffic from Silver
Spring direction.
Mrs. E. N. EberIy.
\ \ + X
A speaker on a recent TV
program devoted to Route
240 showed great concern
that his beloved golf and
country club might be forced
to move. But he displayed no
emotion for the hundreds of
homeowners that might be
obliged to pull stakes at con-
siderable expense and incon-
venience.
River road would be the
most practical route and cost
the taxpayers least. But, of
course, the Government does
not figure expense or care
about the middle class.
