A comprehensive trash and
garbage ordinance, primarily
designed to make local trash
collectors more responsive to
the public, was passed by the
Rockville City Council at its
regular meeting Monday night.
The ordinance, modelled after a
similar Montgomery County
law, becomes effective June 30.
Key provisions of the ordi-
nance, which repeats less strin.
gent one, require licensing of
collectors, inspection of collec-
ton trucks, proper identified
ton of collection employees
through the wearing of full
uniform, and regulations on
the frequency of collection.
Trash collectors will also be re-
quired to maintain a bonafide
office in Montgomery County
where business with the public
may be conducted.
The only significant change
made by the Mayor and Coun-
Gil since the ordinance was
first introduced several weeks
ago, was to require collection
from multi family dwelling
groups five times a week. No
special collection schedule was
specified in the original draft.
Required pick-ups from other
residential dwellings, was
changed from once week to
twice a week.

nance is the classification OF

Govt. Site
Scored by
Officials

Arguing that "local gov
eminent ought to have some
say" about the selection OF
sites for federal government
facilities within their areas,
members Of the Montgomery
County Council yesterday
sharply criticized the way the
location for a multi-million-
dollar research center in the
county was decided upon.
Under fire was the selection
by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare of a
1,0O0-acre tract of land on
Shady Grove I'd. near Route
7O-S as the spot on which to
build an advanced environ
mental research center.
Questioned by Council mem
bers, County Manager Mason
A. Butcher disclosed that his
office had never been contacted
about the site, and that he has
had little success so far iii
finding out how HEW and the
Regional Park and Planning
Council worked out their de-
cision on it,"
The site received the official
approval of the Commission
last week.
The federal government also
has drawn criticism from
Northern Virginia's Fairf a X
County Supervisors for similar
action without benefit of con-
sultation with local authorities.
County Council m m b r
Stella 3. Werner argued thai
the county fought to have some
say about the establishment of
such facilities, since we're the
ones who are going to have %
provide services such as sewers
and roads, and possibly even
new schools for the benefit of
the families they will bring
with them"
Local government ought to
have some say before they
PUNK such things right down
In the middle of u.s." she de-
clared.

Stitute reasonably accurate
bill of particulars against the
Soviet Union. Certainly, the stu
alton warrants some attention
to that provision of the U.N.
Charter, which reads.
"A member Of the United Ma
tons which has persistently vio-
lated the Principles contained in
the present Charter may be ex-
PEELED from the Organization by
the General Assembly upon the
recommendation of the Secur-
ity Council"
Such a Security Council rec
cmmendation might become
sticky, what with Russia as a
permanent member of that body,
but it might be worth making
the effort, anyhow.
For one thing, a show of sup
port for a proposal to expel the
Soviet Union should settle the
question of admitting that 9TH
er international outlaw, Red
China.

Communism: The Last Experiment

A Catholic priest, FIR. Cletus
Healy, S. j., has written an ex-
traordinary paper on Commun-
ism. In all my years of fighting
this evil. I have seen few pens
as trenchant as that of this
priest. He is explicit, concise. al
most epigrammatic.
This week, then. let me give
over this space to excerpts from
an article by FIR. Healy which
first appeared October 10 in that
remarkable St. Paul weekly, the
Wanderer.
On Communism: It's cure for
poverty is to increase it. It's cure
for oppression is to universalize
it. Its cure for injustice is to
legalize it. Its cure for evil is to
systematic it.
On Trying" Communism:
Those intent on solving our other
social problems should remem-
Der this: Communism is not
something we can try and see if
it works. The universal expert
ence of nations that have tried"
Communism is that Communism
was their last experiment.
! On "Poor" Communists: Marx
ian claims Notwithstanding, the
poor have always taken to Com
munism reluctantly. It is not in
the city slums but on the univer-
sity campuses that Communism
has been received most cordially.
This is not because Communism
appeals to the intellectual; it ap-
peals to the Intellectually lost.
Its appeal is not where the pow
erty is material, but where it is
Intellectual.
On "The Intellectually LOST:
having lost their philosophical
anchorage and being deprived
of theological orientation, they
f"The Intellectually Lost'D, are
ripe for Communist conversion.
They seek a faith to live by and
a cause to give purpose and
meaning to life. Communism an
swers their need. 1t gives them
a dogma to live by, the ''Scien-
tifically proved" dogma of Dia-
lectical materialism. It gives
them a cause to live for: The
conquest of the world. For what
more could they ask?
On Anti Communism: The anti
Communists focus their attention
on the evils of Communism;
others focus attention on the evils
Of our own system.
On the Extreme Right: Self

Double Check

This may be the turn of the
Century haven't got the time
right no how but things are
getting quiet before another
storm. Nikita Khrushchev got
mentioned by Mr. Hamilton
Crockford about his test fireing
even got some fall-out in
this. We seem to know what to
do with the waste but get scared
after we do it, so it is a long
term worry and a death deal any
way you go about it. We just all
got too smart l guess.
We should never have worry so
long as we have GE, Westing-
house and all them other guys to
look out for protecting America
for the dollars We pay them.
Chemists have always profited
by the waste matter OF other ex-
periments. We should strike it
rich off of the Russian let down.
Our experiments don't go SO
good either. We lost loveable
monkey kilt him maybe
we should use rats.
Plane crashes are taking their
toll. We Americans get over
things too quickly. To us nothing
is hopeless but we seldom if ever
profit by our mistakes. Mabe it's
best that We don't can't take
it off taxes nohoW.

den spot of the World, has a

extreme Right" is Just as dam
gerous as the extreme left
Twenty years ago, when there
was an extreme Right to be
worried about, their eau tion
would have been in order.
But today, nearly two decades
after the passing of Hitler and
Mussolini, with one-third of the
world under Communist domina-
ton. their observation serves
only to distract from the reali-
ties of the present.
On Apathy: Our a ppalling
apathy to the Communist threat
has already exposed 20 Christian
centuries of political advance
ment to forfeiture.
On Being Negative: We have,
today, what amounts to a So
phisticated fetish against being
negative" Admittedly, negativ-
ism can be overdone; there are
few things that can't. But from
this it does not follow that being
negative" is wrong.
A policeman is negative when
he arrests robber, a doctor is
negative when he performs an
appendectomy; a fireman is
negative when he puts out a fire;
God is negative when He gives
us eight of His 10 Command
mentS.
Just as it is not wrong to be
against disease, injustice or
fires. neither is it wrong to be
against Communism. There is
nothing wrong with being against
evil and Communism is evil,
with a vengeance.
Words of wisdom, every one.
