Russia and the Masked Purpose

tegrity of China, is still in force. For the reason
that six of the signatory countries - the United
Kingdom, The Netherlands, Denmark Norway
Sweden, and India - have already recognized
Communist China, the Department of State char
acterizes this treaty as "kind of dead letter"
1t was not enforced when Japan invaded China
i'm the 1905 and is obviously just another piece
of meaningless paper to be conveniently ignored
as circumstances dictate Perhaps this develop
ment Signaled the start of the diplomatic medioc.
rity and ineptitude which have marked the past
quarter century
The U. S. is nonetheless morally committed
in the interests of its own national security to
keep Formosa out of unfriendly hands = Com.
munist hands. If the progress of communism is
to be opposed successfully in Asia it must be done
with Asian manpower Thus far, only four Asian
peoples have shown willingness to contribute
to such an endeavor - the Koreans, the Japanese,
the Philippines and the Chinese With the Red
Chinese on the other side, backed by the Soviet
Union, the three other peoples combined would
be outmatched.
And so again. to recognize Soviet China would
be to promote the causes of international commu.
nism on all fronts.

of correspondence between President Eisenhower
and two successive Russian Premiers a real OBJ
Jective of the Soviet axis begins to unfold While
placing major emphasis upon the call for high

useful purpose the agents of international COM

In seemingly unshakeable pail of lethargy
the free world moves willy-nilly toward accept

If the hundreds of children that we saw the
opening day of The Montgomery County Fair
didn't get the thrill of their lives then we don't
know how to read facial expressions And we
agree with them The Fair is great-even greater
than last year.
Clarence Pearson, chairman, and his en-
tire Fair committee deserve much credit for
making arrangements for event that will
top them all. But would like to say few
extra nice things about Mrs. Betty Fisher and
Mrs. Lillian Bailey, co.chairwOmen of the com.
mittee that arranged for the food that is
being served in the main dining room and
the four refreshment stands on the grounds.
Over lis women worked in this department
and what job they did and will do until late
Saturday night
There are five churches whose members par.
ticipate in this food>preparaton and serving and
they get goodly share of the profits Eating
at the Fair is like attending the best of the coun-
try church picnics. Never has chicken or corn
onthe-cob tasted so good.
The Helers, Deane and David, public rea.
tons consultants for the Fair, were hosts to
number of newspaper and radio people for lunch
on the opening day. All persons present had moth
ing but praise for the women who prepared such
an excellent meal You, too, would enjoy it,
Brooke Johns has lost none of his zest for
life. He had just come from presiding over the
he had just stepped from the stage with star
such as Ann Pendleton the Ziegfeld star, who
was Uncle Brooke's partner in the old days.
Brooke Johns was enthusiastic about his
television show ON Saturdays, between I and
PM. over WRC, Channel d. It's a show for
children and evidently all of them like "Uncle
Brooke" He has received 1900 letters
in the 2h years that he has been on the air
And we look for him to get his own network
before long. That personality of his goes over
with bang.
The rodeo show is all that was promised.
It's fast-moving rough and the kids find it the
most exciting thing they've seen. The cowboys in
the show aren't worn out and broken down. They
can ride and act. They know how to please the
audience and they do pretty good job at it.
Karen Treadway, Queen of The Montgomery
County Fair, reigns with dignity and a pleasing
charm. She is an excellent representative of the
hundreds of boys and girls who are at the Fair
showing off their animals These members of
the All Club are the double cream of our youth
It's great to the interest they have in exhibit
ing the finest in animal life.
Ran into Sam Fig at the Fair. He was proud
OF the high corn that he raised at his farm across
the road from his Washingtonian Motel 1t stood
more than IL feet high and the ears were full
and healthy. But that wasn't all that Sam Fig
was proud of this opening day of the Fair
He said that Governor McKeIdin had
chosen his grandson, Blaine w. Fig, son of
DIR. and Mrs. Blaine Fig, to represent the
state of Maryland at the Constitution Day
celebration on September IL. Each of the
original IL colonies will be represented by

I Believe
Drivers Sad Story An ObiectLesson

feature TO give YOU some general idea how very,
very serious matter it is for you to be prohibited
from driving an automobile. More important
how extremely difficult it is for you to get your
driving privileges restored. If you've got one
of those little blue cards, which is your driving
license, you'd better cherish it. 1t won't be easy
to replace if you lose it.
I'll tell you what John Doe did. He sweated
it out for six months. Then he asked for rein
statement No soap But he didn't despair too
much Everybody told him he'd get it back sooner
or later He felt that way about it too
What John Doe didn't worry about was what
he would have to go through with before he
did get it back. Had he actually known of the
difficulties ahead of him before he would again
be allowed to drive it is highly possible he would
have thought the whole thing was not worth
the effort
At the end of two years John Doe again
applied to the Department of Motor Vehicles
for reinstatement He wrote the Department
long, woeful, pleading letter The loss of his
driving privileges had created a hardship for
him which was almost uncomfortable. He told the
Department that he had not partaken of any
alcoholic beverage for a period of two years He
would be grateful for their "kindest considera-
ton"
He was overjoyed to receive, almost by
turn mail form letter which stated that his
license would be returned if he would comply
with certain instructions.
If, to John Doe losing his license had been
a nightmare, what he was going to experience
in getting it back was to be even more unreal
and Supplying.
First of all, the letter said, he would have to
take out protective insurance. Upon notification
that he had done this the Department would
get in touch with him again.

Mr. ScuII Resigns

A A R. David Scull, a real estate man and
wv chairman of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee has resigned his post with the
Maryland Park and Planning Commission -
and rightly So
There is no indication or implication that
Mr.. Soul has, or would have, used his post
to further his own real estate interests or
that politics, somehow, would show their
tushes in planning actions.
The fact is = and no matter ones per-
sonal integrity - there always is public
suspicion of Conflict of interest when ones
business or professional life could be fur
thered by advantages of a public side line
job.
Mr.. Soul is an able and conscientious
man. His resignation represents the better
part of valor.

Good Committee

THE fact-fnding committee appointed by
three governmental agencies to study
the conflict between an urgently-needed
sewer line to Gaithersburg and the proposed
Rock Creek dams has done a good job.
Appointed by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, and the Montgomery County Council,
the three-man committee has come up with
a realistic recommendation.
In this space a few issues ago we ex-
pressed some doubt that the committee
would come up with anything other than
pro forma finding which would undoubtedly
be negative. In the light of their report this
week calling the Rock Creek dams "neces-
sity' we were obviously way off base in our
conclusion and an apology is herewith ex-
tended.
AT the time of the appointment of the
committee, two members were militantly
against the dams, If they conflicted in any
way with the customary procedure of rout-
ing the sewer pipe along the stream bed so
inexpensive gravity flow could be used.
In turnabout, the two committee MEM
bers now recommend that the lines be laid
in such way that they skirt the dam and
that the extra cost be met, in part, by storm
drainage funds of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission. This proposal is plain,
down-to-earth common sense inasmuch as
the main benefit of the dams will be reduc-
ton of storm-drainage costs in the Rock
Creek watershed. 1t is to be hoped the rec
ommendation of the committee is accepted
by their parent bodies
