ing tn Germans.
She made it sound like the
German maSSacres and our
killing the Germans were
one and the same. Really we
killed the Germans while we
were fighting for democracy;
they killed the Jews for no
reason at all.
Also, I would never COM
pare Eichm ann with
Truman.
RICK DONNALLY.
In response to jules letter
CTEEN, August 25) concern
ing Adolph Eichmann, I dis
agree with her completely.
In her letter she asked the
question: why should Eich-
mann be punished when
Truman is made a hero?"
Her answer was: Because
the Germans lost the war
and we won" This is totally
false. The correct answer is:
Because Truman was right
and Eichmann was wrong.
Truman was right be-
cause: /. We were defending
ourselves from an aggressor.
2. We were in a declared war
with Japan. 8. His actions
ended the war, which if it
had continued would have
killed more people than were
destroyed at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
Eichmann was wrong be-
cause: /. His actions did not
further the German war
cause. 2. The people he killed
did no harm to the Germans.
8. His actions were of an
aggressor, not a defender.

ficial If more people would

The very nature of our society permits
such an attitude. Oh, there are moralists and
preachers who revile us for falling far short
of our capabilities. Most often, however, we
fall back on the punchline of that old, sup
posedly humorous joke: Nov he's quit
preaching and gone to meddling"

My heart bleeds for the

The boards heinous crime
was to force the commission to
relocate a street a few hun
dred yards so that the board
could build a new school.

along that a new school was
needed. 1t said so in its Ken

it, then yelled Foul" when

would be without a school to
go to in the fall of 1862.

None of us, we can agree, work at 100

Then we could set examples that might

might so change that we could do away with

Communications From Breimyer

tee, as saying the committee
had submitted a report to the
Board of Education recon-
mending certain changes to
effect economies in the school
building program but no ac-
ton was taken on the report
before dissolution of the
group.
This newspaper made no
editorial comment on this sub
ject simply because it did not
have time to study the subject
to see whether or not the
chamber allegation had merit.
Harold Breimyer, president
of the Board of Education,
sent a telegram on Wednesday
to the executive secretary of
the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Chamber of Commerce in
which he denies the charge.
The communication was tele-
phoned to this newspaper too
late to make the Thursday edi.
ton. 1t is in the Sentinel to-
day.
But as far as Mr.. Breimyer's
request for us to admit "B-CC
Chamber accusations were
flase," we do not feel it is our
place to either believe in the
statement or admit it is false.

the procedure which has been

has the location been reviewed
by a competent public body to
determine that it does the

Can It Be Justified?

The position of public service organization is a
precariouS one-and case in point is that of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission.
We have just received two press releases from
WSSC showing just how precarious
The first release was designed as a humorous
note explaining why some WSSC customers are re-
ceiving bills somewhat larger than usual.
The Commission blames that on the heavy SHOWS
of the past winter, which kept meter readers from
their appointed rounds Thus, some customers are
being billed for up to seven and half months of
waersewer USE instead of the usual six-month period
incidentally, the Commission pointed out, small
portion of the increase be attributed to three
cent rise in the WSSC sewer use rate which went into
effect January /.
The other release announced publication of 40
page pictorial annual report AS interesting publ
cation, the report is good job 1t has four-coor
illustrations the cover it is beautifully printed its
photography is good its presentation is well done.
The question that almost simultaneous receipt Of
these two press releases is this:
Can an organization conceived and operated in
the public service justify the obviously large expend
tre needed for such pretentous presentation of its
progress" for the past year?

Mr.. Lou Brott, in a letter to
your newspaper, has taken is
sue with the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commissions
planned production of a motion
picture on sewage disposal.
Last fall, the WSSC complet-
ed a film on water supply in
the suburban Maryland area.
This motion picture, which ex-
plains the Importance of reli-
able water service to the COM
munity, was designed to inform
citizens of the area about one
of the most important essen
tails to orderly and healthful
community growth.
In the few short months since
its completion, the water film
has been shown to more than
100 school, civic and service
groups, with a total audience in
excess of 5000 persons. This
film is still going strong and
has proven to- be an important
vehicle in the Commissions
constant effort to keep the pub
lie informed on all phases of
WSSC activity.
The new motion picture on
sewage disposal is being pre-
pared as a sequel to the water
film and will explain to the
homeowner why work must con-
tinue and money must be spent
to improve and augment the
suburban sewerage system.
Such key considerations as pol
luton control and orderly
growth of the community win
be described in the film to pro-
mote interest in and public
awareness of the importance
of reliable sewage collection
and disposal facilities.
The contract cost of this film
Is $3.50, or considerably less
than one cent per WSCS Gus
toner, for a motion picture
which will be used minimum
of five years and will be seen
by thousands of persons who
are interested in the future Of
their community. 1t should be
noted that this cost is lot less
than the $20,0O0-$50,000 range

mission was granted and the
survey was made.
Nothing further was heard
from the Company until about
three months ago when its
representatives began efforts
to obtain right-of-way agree
ments from landowners along
the survey line. We learned
then that the Company pro-
posed to build a $4,000 volt
transmission line to. serve a
