Fighting q Wrong

r HERE are apparently few obstacles in
the path of righting the wrong that was
committed when the Veirs family name was
misSpeed in the naming of that artery that
now speeds traffic from Rockville to Whea-
ton.
1t is only % years now since the error
was made and that, as time is measured, is
a relatively short while. If the error is going
to be corrected the time to do it is now.
Why should it be allowed to linger for the
next 100 or 200 years?
Granted the whole business of chang
ing the roads name back to the correct
spelling is not one of gravest importance. 1t
could be left as it is--a monument to the
stupidity of the individuality responsible
for the blunder-and few would raise their
voices, either now or in the future to urge
the change.
But the changing of the name from
V-I-E-R-S to V-E-I-R-S is we believe, a
simple act of justice. To be sure few would
suffer minor Inconvenience for short time.
But the change would soon be accepted. And
we would not then be in the present
ridiculous position of having to look at
numerous road signs that spell the name
both ways. Nor would the telephone COM
pany-and others-have to resort to such
nonsense as using both spellings in the con-
duct of their business.
To those who object to the change be-
cause of complications resulting from the
SWITCH we simply point out that street names
are often changed with relative ease, viz.
Old Bladensburg Road to University Boule-
ward for reasons that are not as good and
sufficient as those we have put forth for the
changing of this one and the righting of this
28-year-old wrong.

I Believe

On Commandments
BY Roy Lee Yinger

/ thought l was prepared for the religious
zealots who would be to scrutinize the column
I wrote about the Ten Commandments; thought
/ could take almost any criticism thrown at me
without batting an eye; didn't think there was
anything that could cause me to write entire
column to try to straighten out someone who,
like Bill Gold, the Washington Post columnist,
did not come right out and say the Ten Command
ments should NOT be posted in our schools, but,
by bringing up the old saw of Church and state"
said so anyway. I am also a little bit indignant
that one of my correspondents, Mr.. Kimble fatty
states that l have missed the entire point of the
argument.
do not like to be accused of having one
track mind, but do not think there should be
any argument whether. regardless of "church and
state" the Ten Commandments should be posted
in our public schools. Times have changed drast
cally changed, since James Madison, in 1874, lad
vanced arguments against state-supported

missing any point in an argument, / think it must
be Mr.. Kimble. said nothing about a state
supported church. i said the len Commandments
should be posted in our public schools.
Thought-provoking was the fine letter I re.
ceived which gave me quite lift: Dear Mr..

for your fine articles, but when read yours on

On Segregation

I read with interest Margaret
Notes letter in your newspaper,
Takes Us to Task" How true
are the facts stated: The colored
people pay the same taxes as the
whites but are always denied their
rights.
Is the taxpayers money sepa-
rated from the whites? No. Yet
their children have to take the
leftovers for a few die-hards in
the county.
Charity should begin at home.
First-class citizenship is all the
colored people ask.
The Board of Education should
know that Education covers a
lot of ground but it doesn't nee
eSsarily cultivate it."

We Fell Down

Your remarkable editorial,
"Zoning Crisis?" hit some nails
on the head. The public is, as
you say, ''hopelessly confused"
on the subject of coming in the
Upper County, and that includes
the Up-County landholder as well
as the Down-County suburbanite.
But the public is confused on
coming because it is in the dark.
And it is in the dark largely be-
cause of the failure of the pub
lie press, particularly the SEN
TINEL, to present the facts and
air the issues at the time when
there was possibility of debate
before the MNCPPC and the
County Council. The average
citizen" as you call him didn't
even know what was going on
until it was all over, and the
special pleaders had had their
way.
The average citizen" is eager
to study issues and try to under
stand the facts; but he must de-
pend upon his local press for en-
lightenment.

Further tying the States Attorneys hands is
a clause in the Maryland manslaughter statute
that requires him to prove the driver grossly or
wantony killed before a conviction can be OBJ
tanned.
This would not appear to be too difficult in
the case OF drunken driving inasmuch as the
deliberate driving of car while in a condition
that could result in injury to others can, and has
been construed to be wanton.
But can momentary carelessness or inatten.
ton be called wanton grossly negligent? II not.

cidedy inferior to the Red Air Force Heralded the

Soviet capabiy for attack and the European NATO
pabity for defense is such that 1t is dubious:

Red iRBM could destroy Europe
World peace today rests not on European NATO but
entirely the American Strategic Air Force which not

But our Administration leaders are disturbed At
the Paris NATO Conference collective program
introduced We now propose to place our intermediate

Powers We could not afford adequately to Europe

as the bomber Missiles are not retrievable
Our NATO aid cannot well stop with the supply OF
nucear weapons II would be wicked to equip friends
with weapons which would draw enemy fire. unless
provide weapons for their defense European NATo not
only will have to be blankeed with offensive missiles but
will also need supersonic fighter nterceptors and anti
missile missiles for their defense.
The Eisenhower Dulles Report has conveniently failed
to advise the American that in addition TO sup
plying nucear weapons capable Of striking the Soviet

COST FOR SURVIVAL

The above American defense program can be effected
for far less than spending BY relinquiShing
our self appointed role of the surface defense of Europe
the Army. the Navy and ground support units could
save between IS and $40 billions BY ending foreign aid
some SIS billions more could be saved. Thus our 1853

Constitution to Congress Examples Of this
orc and GAIT. and the International Atomic Energy

being led into World Government by stages
These think, are some of the things that should
be considered in any discussion Of the Eisenhower

the Senate should be given opportunity 10 debate
the question.

But at best all that is being proposed for our
defense merely means we have entered into
ment with the Soviets. In the end, armament
races always lead to Therefore additional action Ia
essential If the world is to have peace.
The Soviet people are enslaved by the Kremlin Some
is million SovietS in slave labor camps being
worked and starved TO death The Kremlin rule Is so
cruel that is hated by all the people Likewise the
Communist system is hated This system contrary to
human instincts contains the seeds of its destruction
We should therefore withdraw diplomatic repre-
sentation at the Kremln. Possibly this might lead
other Free World powers to do likewise The ferment Of

samples Of public opinion In eleven powers-a OF which
friendly to the United States Mr. Wilson's question
was
I'm breaks out beti0een the United
States and the Soviet Union, do you think your
country should do everything in It's poDer not to

wonder II leaders have given sufficient consdera
ton the fact that should World War III be forced upon
us-there Is every probability that shall be fighting

Should come European Allies will receive such
Soviet punishment their effort invites II they
stay out of the waythey may survive II they attack
the Soviet Union they will be destroyed This fact forces
to discount the wartime value Of the IRBM in the
hands Of NATO powers.
