Letters

This is the first time l have
ever written to newspaper edi-
tor but after reading the article
which appeared in the August
18th Sentinel concerning the
switch in Party affiliation by
former COP precinct worker, |
found it impossible to let such an
article go unchallenged.
l think it's time for more of
us to try and place foremost in
our minds the ideals and basic
principles on which our country
was founded and for which our
forefathers fought to preserve.
am new COP chairman, the
18th precinct to be precise, and
from conversations 1 have had
on the phone recently calling all
Republican workers together, it
is obvious there are a few who
would like to capitalize on the
slight strain within the Party.
While l personally feel this is UNI
necessary, it is human nature.
Once a person has had the feel
ing of power it is very difficult
to let go. However, / feel that
it is still our privilege to fight
for what we know is right. 1t is
our duty as American citizens to
see that the proper people are
put into office and that we strive
to work together as an organiZa
ton with high ideals in mind and
not individual gain or profit guild
ing us.
If Mrs. Parker were familiar
with the Democratic Party she
would find that they too had
quite a split several years ago
and have just come over the
hump" so to speak. The old
adage that the grass is always
greener on the other side" still
seems to be followed by a lot
of folks. The grass may stay
green for a while but it will
eventually turn brown. l don't
care what organization you be-
long to there are always those
who are seeking personal gain,
while at the same time there are
those who work endlessly and
triumphantly without recognition.
1t is time for many of us to
stop being laZy-which is very
easy to do in this gadget and
push-button era this is still
America and we must not forget
for one second that the spread of
communism still threatens us all.
Being in a position as secretary
to an Indiana Congressman. f.
Ross Adair of Fort Wayne. / am
confronted with such issues daily.
l, too, am a mother and feel that
l have a responsibility to my chill
dren as well as my heritage.
l shall strive TO do a good and
thorough job as precinct chair
man but when the day comes for
me to step aside and let someone
else take over, l will certainly
not sell my Party affiliation
down the river"

Federal Aid for
New Dam Sites
Is Recommended

Federal funds to help acquire
land behind two proposed flood
control dams on the Rock Creek
were suggested last Friday by
joint committee in a report to
the County Council. The 7S and
66-foot structures would be north
of Rockville, off Route %, be-
tween Avery and Derwood.
The Council may hear the re-
port at its next meeting Tuesday.
The joint committee, made up
of Melvin L. Reese, County
Manager; w. Lawson King, mem
Der of the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, and Frank L. Hewitt,
Jr., member of the Washington
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1958-08-21

Suburban Sanitary Commission,
made these other findings:
Q The two dams are not
only in the public interest,
but are necessity.
Q That the Council should
endorse a plan of acquiring
land and of construction of
the dams.
. That a master plan for
the upper Rock Creek should
be made by the Park and
Planning Commission.
That additional cost of a
sewer near one of the dam
sites be borne by the Plan
ming Commission and the
Sanitary Commission.
o That reconstruction of the
sewer, to serve Gaithersburg,
be pressed without delay.
The committee advised the
Council to seek Federal funds for
land acquisition because, g. !.
construction of these projects will
have a direct benefit to the Dis
trict of Columbia"
Their report also recommend
ed that, This Federal legislation
should include provisions for the
assistance in the purchase of
land needed and a method of re-
imbursing local agencies for adj
ditional costs that might be ex-
pended in the construction of a
sanitary sewer"
The Sanitary Commission al
ready has constructed its sewer
along Rock Creek to Crabs
Branch. Proposed dams sites
would force the relocation of the
sewer to a point where it would
not be submerged by impounded
water.
Officials have estimated that
such a relocation would cost
approximately $180,000.
A total of more than 700 acres
would have to be acquired from
property owners before the gov
eminent would start to build the
earth dams. Some of the land
could cost as high as $500 ar
acre, and some of it is not suited
for other development, the report
pointed out.
Some planners felt that lane
owners near the dam sites would
be willing to grant easements t.
their land if they were allowed
to develop their land into lake
shore home sites.

man progress since the dawn of
history.
a. I cannot but think that
you would both rejoice if a way
could be found to dispense the
pail of fear which at present
dims the hopes of mankind.
Never before, since our remote
ancestors descended from the
trees, has there been valid reason
for such fear.
Never before has such a sense
of futility blighted the visions of
youth.
Never before has there been
reason to feel that the human
race was travelling along a road
ending only in a bottomless pre-
cipice
And all this fear, all this dis
pair, all this waste is utterly un-
necessary.
One thing only is required to
dispel the darkness and enable
the world to live again in noon
day brightness of hope.
The one thing necessary is that
East and West should recognize
their respective rights, admit
that each must learn to live with
the other and substitute argu-
ment for force in the attempt to
spread their respective ideologies.
It is not necessary that either
side should abandon it's own
creed
I suggest, sirs, that you should
meet in a frank discussion of the
conditions of co-existence en-
deavoring no longer to secure
this or that more or less surrep-
titious advantage for your own
side, but seeking rather for such
agreements and such adjust
ments in the world as will dimin-
ish future occasions of strife.
I believe that if you were to do
this the world would acclaim
your action, and the forces of
sanity, released from their long
bondage, would esnsure for the
years to come a life of vigor and
achievement and joy surprising
anything known in even the hap
piest eras of the past.

By BERTRAND RUSSELL


dent Eisenhower and Soviet party
boss Nikita Khrushchev:
Most potent sirs: am address,
ing you as the respective heads of
the two most powerful countries in
the world Those who direct the
policies of these countries have a
power for good or evil exceeding
anything ever before possessed by
any man or group of men. Public
opinion in your respective coun-
tries has been focused upon the
points in which your national in
terests are thought to diverge, but
I am convinced that you, as far
seeing and intelligent men, must
be aware that the matters in which
the interests of Russia and Amer
lea coincide are much more impor-
tant than the matters in which
they are thought to diverge.
I believe that if you two emil
nent men were jointly to proclaim
this fact and to bend the policies
of your great countries to agree
ment with such proclamation,
h ere would be throughout
world, and not least in your own
countries, a shout of joyful agree
ment which would raise you both
to a pinnacle of fame surprising
anything achieved by other states
men of the past or present.
Although you are, of course, both
well aware of the points in which
the interests of Russia and Amer
lea are identical, I will, for the
sake of explictness enumerate
some of them.
ID The supreme concern of men
of all ways of thought at the pres
ent time must be to ensure the
continued existence of the human
race. This is already in jeopardy
from the hostility between East
and West and will, if many minor
nations acquire nuclear weapons,
be in very much greater jeopardy
within a few years from the poss-
Utility of Irresponsible. action by
thoughtless fanatics.
Some ignorant militarists, both
in the East and in the West, have
apparently thought that the dan
ger could be averted by a world
war giving victory to their side.
The progress of science and
technology has made this an idle
dream. A world war would not
result in the victory of either side,
but IN the determination of both.
Neither side can desire such a
cataclysm.
Two Ideologies Currently in Con-
flict.
The hope of world dominion,
either military or theological, is
one which has lowered before
many men in the past and has led
invariably to disaster.
Philip II of Spain made the at
tempt and reduced his country to
the status of a minor power, Louis
XIV of France made the attempt
and, by exhausting his country,
led the way to the French Revolu-
ton, which he would have pro-
foundly deplored. Hitler, in our
own day, fought for the world
wide supremacy of the Nazi philo-
sophy and persisted miserably.
Two great men propounded ideo-
logies which have not yet run their
course: l mean the authors of the
Declaration of Independence and
the Communist Manifesto. There
is no reason to expect that the
ideologies will be more successful
in conquering the world than their
predecessors, Buddhist, Christian
Moslem, or Nazi.

PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE
ONLY WAY FOR SURVIVAL

We must, therefore, hope that
each side viii abandon the futile
strife and agree to allow to each a
sphere proportionate to its present
power.
~ The international anarchy
which will inevitably result from
the unrestricted diffusion of nu-
clear weapons is not to the inter
est of either Russia on America.
There was a time when only
America had nuclear weapons.
This was followed by time when
only Russia and America had such
weapons. And now only Russia,
America and Britain possess them.
1t is obvious that, unless steps are
taken, France and Germany will
shortly manufacture these weap-
ons. 1t is not likely that China
will lag far behind.
We must expect that during the
next few years the manufacture of
engines of mass destruction will
become cheaper and easier. No
doubt Egypt and Israel will then
be able to follow the example set
by the great powers. So will the
states of South America.
There is no end to this process
until every sovereign state is in a
position to say to whole world:
"You must yield to my demands
or you shall die"
Stop Helter-SkeIter Race to Ruin
If all sovereign states were gov
erned by rulers possessed of even
the rudiments of sanity, they
would be restrained from such
blackmail by the fear that their
citizens also would perish. But ex-
perience shows that from time to
time power in this or that country
falls into the hands of rulers who
are not sane.
For such reasons, it is impera-
tive to put a stop to the diffusion
of nuclear weapons.
This can easily be done by agree
ment between Russia and Amer
lea, since they can jointly refuse
military or economic assistance to
any country other than themselves
which persists in the manufacture
of such weapons.
But it cannot be achieved with
out agreement between the two
dominant powers, for, without
such agreement, each new force of
nuclear weapons will be welcomed
by one side or the other as an
increase to its own strength. This
helter-skelter race toward ruin
must be stopped if anything that
anybody could desire is to be eff
fected.
90 So long as the fear of world
war dominates policy and the only
deterrent is the theat of universal
death, so long there can be no limit
to the diversion of expenditure of
funds and human energy into
channels of destruction. 1t is clear
that both Russia and America
could save nine-tenths of their
present expenditure if they con-
cluded an alliance and devoted
themselves jointly to the preserva-
ton of peace throughout the
world.
If they do not find means of les
SEEMING their present hostility, re-
eiprocal fear will drive them fur
Their anr further, until, apart from
immense ornaments, nothing be-
yond a bare subsistence will be left
to the populations of either
country.
In order to promote efficiency
in the preparation of death, educa-
ton viii have to be distorted and
stunted.
Everything in human achieve
ment that is not inspired by hatred
and fear will be squeezed out of
