Sixty years from now the
Washington Metropolitan Area

commanding officer Of the
United States Army Engineer

ing, by 1862, a study of water
use and supply in the Potomac
Basin, which includes parts of
Virginia, West Virginia. Penn
sylvania, Maryland and the
District.
Part Of the solution to the
water shortage problem is to
make the best use of our big
best asset. the Potomac River
he said. This means, he said,
that we need adequate water
treatment plants so that water
used upstream also can serve
the needs of cities and commu-
mites downstream.
Col. Allen also said his staff
is considering % sites in the
basin for reservoirs that woulc
be used for recreation as well

LooI, Opposed

The Public Interest Civic AS
sociation last night heard its
president. DR.. Jesse Keene, read
the letter he had presented ear
lier In the day at the District
Commissioners hearing on the
proposed east leg Of the inner
loop.
At an earlier meeting the
group had taken q stand
against the freeway proposed
along Eleventh street from the
Anacostia River on the south
to Florida avenue on the north.
DR.. Keene. in his letter,
listed five reasons for the OPP
position: ,
The route would require
demolition Of IL blocks of
homes. churches, schools and
small businesses; an estimated
5000 to 10000 people would be
rendered homeless: no plans
have been presented for their
resettlement.
Also, that the dispersal OF
these people throughout the
city would create secondary
slum areas. because they be-
long mostly to low-income
families. and that the freeway
would benefit mainly people OF
Maryland and Virginia, while
the construction cost would fall
on District residents.
The letter suggested that the
freeway be constructed alons
Nineteenth street NE instead
Of Eleventh street NE.
The meeting was held al

According to Smith
Let's Hear EN- All.
Let the Chips Fall

Montgomery County's Commission on
Human Relations, created as direct out
growth of "sit-in" demonstrations staged in
the county by minority groups, has under.
taken most sensitive and most important
assignment.
So far, in the few short weeks of its
existence, it seems to have proceeded with
dignity and with prudence. Ignoring the
demands of some partisans for hasty action,
boycotts ultimatums and the like, it has
made a slow and searching approach to the
manifold problems of human relations
mainly a racial issue-and appears to have
made definite progress.
Thus, we are inclined to view with some
degree of doubt the prudence Of its most
recent step in extending invitations to mod
crate groups" in the county to make their
views known at commission meetings to the
apparent exclusion of others.
AS commission members pointed out, it
seems logical that truly constructive solu.
tons to human relations problems are more
likely to come from the moderates than the
so-called radicals" or fringe" groups, but
in seeking a solution to a community problem,
wouldn't it be best to solicit the views of
everyone concerned? How else can the COM
mission obtain a really accurate appraisal Of
THE temper of the whole community?
Even though the views of the radicals or
the fringe factions might be distasteful to
the commission and the others who want to
establish a harmonious program of human
relations, it seems to us they would be essen
tial to the commission for a number Of
reasons. First, it seems absolutely necessary

Clipping and Column
Mailer Is Cleared
An Opinion

In reference to last weeks column con-
corning remarks by John r. Foley, Demo-
cratic Representative of the Sixth District, it
Congressman has written.
Congressman John r. Foley has admitted
in letter to William ]. Brannan, President of
the Silver Spring Board of Trade, that he was
in error during debate with his Republican
opponent, Charles Matthias, at the meeting of
the Trade group on September 7.
Mr.. Foley in his letter said: "As you may
recall, indicated that a clipping in a Fred
erick paper was printed on June %, 1860,
two days prior to the appearance of the Mary
land News column quoted had appeared in
the Maryland News"
Mr. Foley continued in his letter: Mon
day. September 26, 1860, was approached by
the author of the column. l showed him the
clipping ! had referred to in the debate. He
denied that the column could have been
quoted in the Frederick paper-two days be-
fore it actually appeared in the Maryland
News. | showed him the dateline contained
in the clipping He said the date was wrong.
Tuesday, September q, 1860, while in Fred
erick l purchased copies of the Frederick
papers for June o. 1860, and June %, 1860.
The clipping I referred to appeared in the
June 18th issue, four days after it was printed
in the Maryland News The June 22nd date on
the clipping when sent to me from Frederick,
inadvertently was included and appeared to
me to be the printing date of the paper.
Actually the June 22nd date was part of

the truth or falsity of what is said and to de-
eide what course they want to follow in this
decade Of decision.
BY attempting to gag Senator Kennedy
on these vital questions, the vice president is
guilty of the very thing that we have accused
Russia of doing prohibiting the free ex.
change of ideas and presenting a one-sided
view of thoughts and actions to its people
This is not the democratic way Our
strength stems from full and open discussion
OF all statements, proposals and accusations.
Judge Learned Hand said in 1852: THAT
community is already in the process of dsso.
luton where faith in the eventual SUI.
premacy of reason has become so timid that
we dare not enter our convictions in the open
lists, to win or lose"
And he added: THE mutual confidence
on which all else depends can be maintained
only by an open mind and brave reliance
upon free discussion"
Vice President Nixon would do well to
elaborate on his own views, instead of trying
to sweep those of Senator Kennedy under
the rug
This is not to say that he cannot attack
Senator Kennedy's opinions But he should at
tack them on the basis of whether they are
good or bad for America, not on whether thew
give aid and comfort to our enemies. The LAT.
ter argument is entirely specious and can be
construed only as an attempt to hide the
weakness and emptiness of his own proposals

PorIous Times

TTIE Foeyathas debates being held not only in Mont
gomery County but throughout the 9th District pro-
vide an invaluable opportunity for the voters to become
thoroughly acquainted with the candidates and their views
This is the first time that such debates have been
held regularly during political campaign in this area;
and we are indebted to both for agreeing on such
procedure
BY listening to their statements and answers to ques-
tons posed by their listeners 9Th District voters can OBJ
tain clear understanding of just what the candidates
stand for and where they differ.
The candidates, too benefit from these debates be-
cause they able refue charges and clarity their po-
sitions on issues right on the spot.
Nor can the question of personality be overlooked.
This is an important matter in determining the voters at
ttude toward particular candidate And face-toface
debate gives the citizens valuable indications on just
how the candidates to each others statements and
to questions from the audience.
Does candidate tend to lose his temper? Is he over
y aggressive? Does he try to substitute emotion for fact?
These the kinds of questions the voter should ask HIM
self in attending any of the debates
Those interested in good government should make ev-
cry effort to attend at least of the debate for these
are parlous times and it is essential that the fastgrow
ing 9th District with its many complex problems get the
best representation possible in the Congress.

An opportunity to render service that is apprecat-

If we are to determine just what proportion
Of county residents are in the radical" cate
CORY and, for that matter, just how strongly
they feel. Gaining a true knowledge of their
sentiments just might lay the groundwork
for compromises they would find acceptable
and, on the other hand, if their feelings are
so strong or so irrational that compromise
seems impossible, then it would provide valu-
able ammunition for knocking down their
unreasonable arguments.
International politics and community re-
lations are in somewhat different categories,
but we can't help but find a parallel in the
dilemma faced by the United Nations in its
deliberations over the question of member.
ship of Red China.
If we understand the true purpose of the
UN, it was supposed to be forum to receive
the expressions of the worlds nations as a
means of solving international problems-and
to exclude any nation seems to be defeating
that purpose. No matter how much we dis.
like the policies and the philosophers OF Red
China, we've always had the feeling they
should be admitted to the UN il the world
forum Is to function as intended.
Here, then, in Montgomery County, the
commission on human relations might be
viewed as a '1ittle UN," beset by the same
sort of dilemma as the international council.
We think it must listen carefully to all pros
and cons If it is to fulfill the true purpose
for which it was created

School Board Election

In regard to your recent

how the 3R's they favor differ
from the ones that have been
so well taught to my children
in these same schools during
the past 10 years. l would al
so like to know how they plan
to spend less money but still
get better teachers, better and
more school buildings, more
clerical aides, etc. If they
think this School Board is lib

conservative one.
Also, since you are so wor-

and so pleased with the Council

homer if / ever heard one, you
might inform the public about
the Council. You could start
by publishing the number of

believe is less than 200 persons.
You might also state that this

you might relate that it was
