On The
Square

All is not well in the business
community of Rockville, county
seat of Montgomery County,
highest per capita income area
in the United States.
A short jaunt along the main
drag, namely Montgomery ave.
and, in particular, that part of
Montgomery ave. east of Perry
ST., will furnish some idea of a
problem which should be of
growing concern to taxpayers.
The number of vacant stores
is appalling and another will
come up later this year when
Highs Dairy moves over to the
shopping area under construc-
ton on the bypass. At the
same time, the Commerce la.
location of Safeway will be
changed for a new one, also on
the bypass. Result more Vacan-
cies. Fewer people in the mid
town area.
In Court House So, a large
store next to the Villa Theatre
has been vacant for many
months. Jaye's Bootery, direct
ly across from the Court House,
has closed. Next door to Farm
ers Bank are two stores dis
playing a motley collection of
secondhand wares. While
charitable detectives of its op-
orators are commendable, it
must be admitted presence of
this type of operation does
nothing to enhance the beauty
of the town. In the block be-
tween Perry and Fayette is a
tenantless store used, chiefly,
by charitable institutions for
endless and continuing rum.

display of well.used merchan.
disc behind dirty windows and
in a dirty stores does nothing
to dissipate the general feeling
that the main drag of Rockville
has woefully deteriorated. Let's
face it without kind words /.
the center Of Rockville is fast
taking on the appearance of a
slum area and someone
had better get on the ball and
do something about everything
fast!
Good business houses in the
blighted area are holding on
and sitting tight. But deteriora.
ton of an area generally is a
disease that keeps customers
out. Good business houses to
stay good business houses need
customers.
The growth and expansion of
a business community slum
area in Rockville affects more
than good business houses. 1t
affects business in the whole
town. 1t does something more.
AS business slums spread and
loss of tax revenue occur,
losses must be passed on to
other taxpayers If municipal
services are to be maintained.

This fact should be faced, too.

Dulles Biography Dramatic
Account by the Heller Team

Peace Conference of 1907; or
that he was counselor for the
United States Reparation Com
mission in 1888, when he was
only 30 years old.
After that, there was a period
of Is years, during which Dulles
became the worlds highest
paid lawyer, before he re.en-
tered the field of foreign affairs
as an adviser to Governor
Dewey. From then on the con-
duct of this country's relation
ships with other nations be-
came Dulles sole thought. And
it soon became his sole activity
when he was placed on the for.
eign policy team by President
Roosevelt, retained by Presi-
dent Truman, and elevated to
chief architect of our foreign
program by President Eisen-
hover.

educational leaders:
Our greatest problems will
arise with the Soviet Union. De-
cisions may have to be made
during the war with respect to
Finland, the Baltic States and
Poland, l see no hope that such
decisions will be generally &C.
ceptable if they crush human
beings and human aspirations
between the millstones of pow
er politics"
And in 1914, in discussing the
possibility of getting Senate
support of a proposal for an
international organization to
keep the peace, Dulles made no
bones about where his political
faith lay.
81 have no doubt whatever"
he said, "but that this will come
more readily if Governor Dewey
is President than if Mr.. Roose-
welt is reelected"
This was hardly the thing to
say at a time when bipartisan
ship in foreign affairs was a
Roosevelt policy.
But his comment that caused
the most connection came dur
ing the German elections when
Dulles pumped for Konrad Ad-
enauer over his Socialist oppo-
nent, Erich Ollenhauer.
The failure" of German vot-
ers to retain Adenauer. Dulles
declared, would be disastrous"
to prospects for German unity.
This was about the most I'M
diplomatic statement a diplo-
mat could make about another
country's election.
The Hellers also give a NOV
ing account of Dulles courage
and strength in the face. of what
he knew was cancer eating
away at his vitals.
Despite his constant pain,
Dulles refused to let up until
almost the very end, when he
could no longer stand.
Not as widely known is the
fact that Dulles started his dip
lomatic career at the age of 10
when he was secretary to the
Chinese delegation to the Hague

In general, business at the
county seat Is not good. The
saturation of the area with
shopping centers has not helped
the situation. The proximity Of
Bethesda, Silver Spring, and the
Federal City always have posed
problems for retailers. The
opening of Wheaton Plaza
hasn't helped. Granted that as
growth continues to move to-
ward the upper county, Rock
vile will benefit If its bust
ness houses can hold out that
long.
The question is-what can be
done and done quickly enough
to protect dollar investments?
In the matter of retaining
Montgomery ave-, this column
is content to leave ways and
means in the hands of the ex-
perts. 1t can only recommend
that the experts, the authori-
ties, and the businessmen re-
move their hands from beneath
their posteriors and get with
it."
In the matter of ideas for
boosting business generally,
this one Is tossed out for con-
sideration. What Rockville
needs for the health of its bust
ness community is one big,
unique operation which would
function to pull thousands of
people here for the purpose of
spending dollars. The town
fathers may want to kick
around the idea of floating a
revenue bond issue for the pur-

JOHN FOSTER DULLES,
SOLDIER FOR PEACE, by
Deane and David Heller. (HoIt,
Rinehart and Winston, Inc. 3I8
PIP. $4.5O)
Frequently, in writing about
q controversial figure, the au-
thor tends to judge his subject
in the light of his own political,
economic and moral beliefs. For
example, research has shown
that much of what Suetonius
said of the Caesars nearly 1000
years ago stemmed from his
likes and dislikes. More recent
ly, biographers of Franklin D.
Roosevelt have ranged from law
iSh praise to bitter condemna-
ton of his actions, again de-
pending on their attitude to-
ward the New Deal.
The Hellers, however, have
been content in this book to let
Dulles speeches and statements
speak for themselves. Only
rarely do they venture into the
interpretive field, and then they
back up what they say by the
liberal use of quotations. The
result is dramatic story, pow
erfully but simply told, of the
man who admittedly controlled
our foreign policy during some
of the most trying years of the
cold war.
The book is a notable addi-
ton to the achievements of this
Montgomery County husband
and-wife writing team, whose
signature has become familiar
not only in this area but
throughout the country through
their many magazine articles.
In their biography, the au-
thors pull no punches in relat-
ing anecdotes about the late
Secretary of States bluntness,
which often brought severe crit
icism.
In 1943, despite the virtually
unanimous hymn of praise of
the Soviet Union in American
newspapers, Dulles had this to
say in a luncheon meeting of

Graybill Speaks TO
BrOadus Democrats

Leo Graybill, Jr., Democratic
candidate from Montana's Second
Congressional District, told Pow
der River County Democrats
gathered at Broadus Tuesday
evening: Montana, the Nations
fourth largest state, with a sound
and basic agriculture, untold
riches in resources and power, a
transportation bridge to the Pacif-
ic and Canada and a land where
living is enjoyable and worth
while, has been an American
colony long enough. Montana
must break out and develop its
own economy to secure stability"
Graybill stated.
Grayblll described the Benson
farm program as being "One
designed to make sure the pro-
gram will not work. The problem
is agriculture is one of distribu-
tion and not one of produc-
ton. Yet Benson tells good farm
ers that with better equipment,
fertilizers and improved farming
methods they must somehow
produce less from Americas soil!"
Graybill noted that agriculture
is Montana's greatest industry,
bar none, and it is placed in
jeopardy by Benson's policy"
The Great Falls attorney stated
that "The tendency of the Re
publican Administration to drift
and dream, to avoid problems and
to plead with and then placate
the people has been the trade
mark of the times. This tendency
must be stopped, and replaced by
dedicated leadership both at home
and abroad"

year 1860 will be a Democratic

BLEACHING
Fifty million women may not
be wrong, but when it comes to
bleaching the family wash, their
techniques are questionable.
According to surveys by bleach
manufacturers bleach is one of
the most used, but mis-used, pro-
ducts in the average women's
household.
While more than 90 percent of
women who do their laundry at
home reported they used bleach,
rare was the women. who follow
ed the directions on the bottle or
box. Instead, she was more likely
to pour bleach by the "glug full'
directly. onto the clothes in the
washer, oftimes to her dismay,
without considering the fabric in
those clothes.
Results of such practices might
be fabric damage, disintegration,
or yellowing which the bleach was
supposed to prohibit.
When the bleach goes in the
water before the agitation begins,
chlorine bleach may cancel a part
of the whitening effect of a heavy
duty detergent.
But if the diluted chlorine
bleach is poured in after the
washing has started, the bleach
compliments the detergent i'm
cleansing and whitening the
clothes.
How often should bleach be
used? Every waShday as long
as you follow the amounts
recommended.
EGGS
Eggs top the list of plentiful
food for the month of March ac-
cording to U.S.D.A. reports. Egg
production will be increasing
