We cannot Fail

David Scull's observation
equating the detectives of
Communism and Socialism
seemed to bring some rather
anguished cries from the
liberal" direction. Even SO,
and no matter how painful -
any objective analysis must
conclude that they do indeed
march hand in hand - altho
the many masquerades they
wear sometimes makes it diff
ficult for us to keep this in
mind.
True, Communism, as we
are witnessing under the vi
cious reign of terror now
flourishing under Castro, de-
mands a one-party govern
ment. No dissenting vote is
permitted. But with present
suggestions that our own gov
eminent should control our
TV, censor our news and even
finance our political elections
- even here we may have
room for uneasiness.
A Sentinel contr ibutor,

agree. The sad fact is how
ever, that those who lead US
down this unhappy road, with
its resulting weakening of

A Realistic Appraisal

Rockvllles City Council and residents all owe City
Manager Walter A. Scheiber and his staff hearty
lhank YOU for the work shown in the 1876 pro-
posed budget presented to the Council Monday night
Inc S30 million requested to run the City for year
seems to be realistic appraisal of a growing COM
munity's situation.
And the fact that we will be getting expanded
services at no increase in tax rate is noteworthy
OF course, Rockville has its phenomenal popula-
ton increase to thank for big part of the answer.
Shortly after World War II, the City had a popula-
ton of 1000. Now it is in excess of 28,OOO
With growth like that, the asessabe tax base is
bound to expand, resulting in more revenues.
We can see no fault with Scheibers request for a
7l2 per cent pay increase for employees. That step
is altogether necessary to keep the City in competition
with the Federal government the Board of Education
and industry for competent workers.
All in ALL Scheibers proposals well-founded cal
culaed to keep Rockville attractive portion of the
metropolitan area.

Paying an ExtOriOnist - The
offer of the Red dictator of
Cuba to release 1900 Cuban
prisoners, captured in a revolu-
tionary battle, on condition that
we send 500 tractors as indem-
nifty for war damage, would
make it appear that the U. S. A.
had been to war and had been
defeated and must now pay
tribute. How much more
humiliation must we suffer at
the hands of this Soviet stooge?
1t does not improve our posi-
ton to have a self-appointed
committee of prominent Amer
lean citizens say that they will
raise the money and pay the ex-
tortion. They're raising S20,000,-
900 for Castro-$40,0 1000 for each
tractor or bulldoZer! Must be
the big, heavy kind, suitable for
building airfields and trenches
and missile bases, which can
be used against us. To say the
least, the 500 tractors and bull
dozers could be used by Castro
to help him make Communism
work in Cuba. Do the people
putting up the $20,000,000 want
that?
And while we're questioning
what people want, just what did
the 60-odd Harvard professors

1t would seem that we have
reached a new low.
Who would have expected us
to see the day when a Red die
tator 80 miles from our shores
would demand of us bulldozers
and tractors in exchange for
freedom of some of his own
countrymen? And who would
have expected to see red-blooded
Americans fawn and bow to the
demand? Back in school days

Expensive Joke - Dulles In

a most unamusing and too ex-

and to be operated by private
airlines. The airlines, of course,
were delighted to receive this
present, and apparently they
still regard Dulles as some sort
of personal gift.
Dulles is a joke when you con-
slider its ever-rising cost and its
never approaching completion
date. The original estimate of
cost for the airport was $85
million. The latest figure, until
week ago, was sos million.
But last Wednesday, the head of
the Federal Aviation Agency
stated he would probably have
to ask Congress for Sc million
more to construct hangers.
Why? Because in conversations
with commercial line operators
about putting up their own
hangers, the FAA head reveal.
ed that the only reaction he had
received was a blank look"
What did he expect, one might
ask, tears of gratitude?
AS to when Dulles will be
completed, this appears to be an
excellent question to which
there is no answer. The original
target was mid-1960. We are
presently in mid.1961, but the
FAA administrator says Dulles
will not be ready until mid-1962.
That is what he was predicting
until last week when he put the
completion date at October /,
1862, explaining that this was
an early date rather than a
pessimistic one" Translation:
mid-1963.
Let us compare this luicrous
picture with that of Friendship
Airport. Passenger travel dur
ing January of this year was up
43 per cent over January, 1860.
Total passenger traffic in 1861
is expected to hit / million con-

and other European capitals
have begun within the last year
