Vls-a-vis Germany this has been obvious Rus
sian policy since 1914
Our policy toward Germany at the same
uine was dictated by purely military consid-
characterization of the Wehrmacht. We
rejected political considerations despite the
more sophisticated warnings of our allies.
Nonetheless the military decision of vester.
year mas turned out to be a major nautical
one Tor today-a Germany de facto divided
ana Jointly occupied Berlin. In view of 70.
cent German history this was a logical ar.
rangement to establish and maintain Euro
pean peace.
However, it is absolutely necessary that
european culture survive and this includes
the United States, Brazil, and several of the
BRUSH Commonwealth. Old grievances
amongst us must be put aside. But the nm.
seemiy haste with which some politicians asl,
US 10 DO SO makes them suspect. Their mo.
yves certainly should bear examination.
We seem to be edging toward another
war over Germany. This gives me pause he
cause the outcome in this era is no more than
temporary stalemate interminably arrived at
In TRUTH the victor barely can be DISTINGUISHED
from the vanquished without program The
reason for all this indecision is that noliti.

from the warriors.
German politicians haven't been too chan.

The Republican organization in Maryland
is about as dis0rganized as any group one
might mention The leadership has been weak
almost to the point Of inertia.
There is a man in Montgomery County
who believes the Republican voters in Mary.
land might welcome chance to vote in the
spring Primary for younger and more "Re.
publican" type of candidate than McKeldin.
This local Republican leader happens to
believe that McKeldin could be defeated. He
believes McKeldin is about as liberal and
believer in more, rather than less, govern.
ment control and therefore, does not really
represent the thinking Of the rank and file
Republican voter.
1t is possible that he may decide to chal.
lenge Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin in the
COP primary this coming spring. 1t could
be an interesting race.
There are definite reasons to believe that
David Scull who did much to revtalize the
Republican Party in Montgomery County is
completely serious concerning his thoughts
of the Governorship
In fact, it is known that he will begin a
statewide tour in the next few days to deter.
mine the current political feeling. And if the
COP atmosphere seems the same as Scull sus-
pects he will make try for the high office
Local Democratic leaders aren't so sure
Peggy Schwenhaut will get the State Senate
seat left by Ed Northrop when he became a
United States Judge Tuesday.
The trial balloon sent up recently has
done the trick And it is suspected the Demo
cratic leaders will either give it to the logical
one-Blair Lee-or to neutral who has no
intentions of running in 1862 Warren Brown
ing
Appointing Peggy Schweinhaut, as popu
lar as she is, could turn the local Democratic
situation into fatal upheaval.

Wick Byron's Column

Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin is an ex-
pert politician when it comes to mastermind-
ing his own election
The former Republican Governor of
Maryland has demonstrated his ability to get
reasonable programs adopted by great ma
jority of the opposition political party. He
did well as Republican Mayor of Baltimore
with City Council of 10 Democratic mem
bers. He did it again as Governor for two
terms when the State Legislature was in COM
plete control by great majority of Demo-
Gratis in both Houses
McKeldin came to Montgomery County
last week and told members of the Republic
can Mems Club how he was able to get along
with Democrats. In fact he told them that he
either had to play ball with them or throw
up his hands at the end of his term and say:
I couldn't get my program, or any part of it
through, because the Democratic majority
wouldn't cooperate"
He pointed out to prospective Republican
candidates here in Montgomery County that
they can't expect to win elections in county
with 81 registration against them IL they
insist upon calling all Democrats no good
And the history of past local elections show
that very few Republicans have been elected
to local offices unless a segment of the Demo-
cratic Party has joined with Republicans to
back COP candidates.
1t must be said that Governor McKeldin's
two terms as Governor were fairly impressive
for things accomplished
Republican leaders throughout Maryland
are aware of the precious little McKeldin did
for the Republican organization in the Free
State. AS a matter of fact most of these
leaders resent the fact that McKeldin seemed
to play the lone-wolf role while he was Gov.
ernor. And for this reason, the former Gov
ernor is not quite as popular among COP
State leaders as one might suspect.

Letters to the S entineL

more days to pray, to think, to
plan and to work.
Let's not waste time by
thinking destructively of how
we will become cannibals, muir
derers, thieves.
Since good Bishop Dunn
spoke on the advisability of
organizing and building group
shelters to care for all of us,
this has taken such a weight
from our minds.
Our family shelter will only
accommodate few more be-
sides our own family. How
could I turn down an agonized
mother pleading for me to
take her children? 81 4
Can't we help each other?
Can't we pool our money, our
supplies, our strength, our
knowledge? All of this has to
do with our like image to God,
as long as we work for some.
thing good. Let us think of our
little children, of the lives they
want to live. Maybe this is
what will bind us together in
a common good.
If we make this national ef-
fort, won't it be publicized so
much as to endanger our ex.
istence? Can't we make this
effort quietly without the need
of Congress allocating the
money, with the dispropor-
tionate publicity that accom-
panies its every action.
Maybe this is some part of
the sacrifice that our President
asked us to make. He can't
speak as clearly as he would
like, I am sure, imprisoned
as he is in the international
slimelight.
Our nation was created by
ideas, ideals, highest hopes.
The founding fathers were of
an enlightened age. They were
tireless workers, courageous
and God loving-all of them.
They were free thinkers. Let
us start trying to think. They
were afraid of nothing, except
perhaps cowardice, pettiness,
laziness and false pride
things we might try to fear,
too.
At least we would be trying.

lis Worth Twice That
Welsh Rare Biz

Some of the readers of the Sentinel have
been curious about the absence of welsh

reasons for this prolonged absence; and per-
haps they are valid only to me.
One reason was a dispute l became in.

was labor and the owner Of the Sentinel was
management. He said that tWelsh Rarebit"
was worth nothing and said it was worth
twice that much He was very shrewd and
took me at my word and is happy about the
salary he does not pay me.
Another reason refrained from writing
was that am afraid that what write may
not pass the new Censorship Department of
Mungumnery County I don't know if the
headquarters of this ambulatory department
are in the Detective Bureau, the office of my
ancient and honored foe, that "ole debbil" the
States Attorney or of my recently acquired
brother of the links of Norbern Farms. But
there seems to be no question that there is a
book banned in Mungummery" or, if not
banned, is most offensive to the official noses
OF our officials suppose should be CRATE
full for their concern for me and saving my
time by telling me what books not to read or
have in my home. After all have many
paths to walk and stars to see. Time should
not be wasted on vulgar literature; and am
glad they wasted theirs and thus saved me
my time. Yet am unhappy, because there
may be an honest difference of opinion as to
what is ugly. After all we can't all marry
the same WIFE, I have not yet heard that
temptation ceases to exist simply from being
submerged or that man becomes noble by hid
ing his eyes from evil
second reason for not writing was that
was afraid the things and people who inter-
ested me would not interest those who read

welsh Rarebit" had already become
aware that my wanderings had become very
personal and seemed to me to be out of place
in paper. thought that if must write for
publication, I should at least have the good
taste to write book so that one would be
protected from what was inside my sturdy
covers rather than have the article pop out
at them upon an editorial page, and deprive
them of their choice to read or not to read
Furthermore what had to say appeared
trivial when compared to all that have been
reading about bomb shelters and so negaton
bombs and fallOut and facts which seem to
threaten our lives. There seems to be no place
for the mind to wander nor room in which
to be alone, nor space in a newspaper for a
column set apart from the portentous events
OF the day. / cannot write about current
events, nor the events which may come, nor
the movements of nations, empires or state
OFFICIALS. 1 do not know enough about these
things, and, in addition, when think upon
them and decide for myself what may do or

follow me or listen to me for what do not
KNOW what the answers are. And under
stand for cOlumnist to admit that he does
not know the answers is the same as final
eclipse.
yet am convinced there is an inner life
IN every living thing and that one life is much
IKE another and that all of us have many
thlngs IN common. These things are little
tnlngs and are worth examination. Also there
are many trivial things which can give much
pleasure, but we have become immune from

Why Do We
Need Shelters?

Why did my family decide
to build a fallout shelter?
Our children overheard my
husbands and my matter-of-
fact discussion concerning the
possible end to our very
earthly existence, and being
children they were shocked
into sudden tears and anguish.
To write off our own earth.
ly existence is shocking yet
somewhat possible. We have
seen something of both sides
of this life even If we are only
in our thirties.
To children, this life is all;
this life is the only under
standable thing for them.
Faith in intangibles has to
come later, slowly.
Somehow, we had to give
them some chance, so we de.
cided to build a shelter. At
first we tried hiring a shelter
contractor. It would be six
months before he could come
to us. This was July, six
months would be January. At
that time Marquis Childs quot

Generals prophesy of an atom
war at the end of the year
that would be over in two
weeks.
My husband is no builder,
and our means are limited.
However, his spirit or stub
bornness isn't weak, so we are
building a shelter.
We believe in prayer, but
prayer for me clears the mind
for action.
Man Is made in Gods image
which is an image unseen but
powerful, just as mans mind
at work is unseen but also
powerful in its own degree.
We need to solve our earthly
problems by use of this mind
when we have the time and
opportunity.
The rulers of our world are
using their minds on this
tight-rope between earthly
life and destruction-the cold
war. They are playing with
time, juggling time to give us

Wisdom Tossed to Wind

The ruling forces of Montgomery County teachers
did the cause of education more harm than good by in
jecting the controversial issues of reapportonment
and loyalty oaths into last weeks State teachers con-
vention in Baltimore.
This was time when discretion would have
been the better part of valor particularly in view of
the need for favorable attitude on the part of the
State Legislature toward increasing basic teacher sal
aries and appropriations for teachers colleges.
Yet the countys delegation to the convention ap-
pears to have tossed wisdom to the winds by insisting
on action questions which had no relationship to
the purposes for which the teachers association con-
vened
AS matter of fact, the local delegations move
little short of foolhardy since it could only serve
to anagonize representatives from the very counties
whose support is important in obtaining legislative
approval of funds for teachers and teachers col
leges.
One of the elementary rules of political science is
to count your votes before advancing any proposal.
Surely, the Montgomery delegates must have known
their resolutions reapporonment and loyalty oaths
didn't stand ghost of chance of approval and would
result only in dstracing attention from the business
at hand.
This is not to say that teachers should be barred
from expressing their views on subjects other than
education But there Is a time for everything-and
this was not the time
teachers associations first responsibility to its
members Is to advance the cause of education. And
the best way to accomplish that is to pay teachers
more and appropriate additional funds for teachers
colleges.
If the Montgomery delegates had been permitted
to pursue their line of thought it would have been
just logical for delegates from other counties to
take up such matters as unemployment compensation,
veterans bonus, aid for mental hospitals, reds
tricting and nti-discrimination legislation.
All of these are just worthwhile and as pressing
reapportionment and repeal of the Ober loyalty
oath law. But none has any real connection with edu
cation, with the Maryland State Teachers Associ

One is compelled to sympathize with the
Welsh folk who protested the peaceful inva-
sion of Wales by German Army units for war
games recently. insufficient time has passed
for them to forget that 20 years ago Germany
was generally recognized as the most bestial
people in Western history. She earned the
distinction herself without an assist from any:
one.
Germans have killed off more American
manhood than any combination of enemies
since the beginning of our history. The mas
sacre at Malmedy is easily forgotten because
it happened on distant shores, and by good
fortune their storm troopers and dive bomb
ers were never visited upon our cities and
families.
Now let us look at the Germans from the
Russian point of view. Germany double
crossed Russia within year of signing nom
aggression pact in 1941. Germans have
slaughtered Russians by the millions in living
memory and laid waste their lands. The Rus
slams are determined with considerable justi-
fication that this will never happen again.

J. Bond Smith

]. Bond Smiths death last week leaves gap in
county civic and political affairs which will be diff
cult if not impossible to fill.
For more than 80 years. his name was synony
nous with the Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and with the Democratic Party.
Much of the planning that has helped make Mont
gomery one of the best counties in the nation in which
to live was accomplished with the help of his keen
legal mind. And highways such the Capital Belt
way probably would have reached the construc-
ton stage without Bond Smiths steadfast and
full fight against all efforts to eliminate them from the
Commissions program.
His wise counsel and never-failing common sense

Party when it appeared hopeessy defeated result
of the Charter Committees victory in 1913 and the
Republican sweep two years later.

Thinking Ahead

The Park and Planning Commissions program to
acquire 1900 along the Patuxent River is
another example of the foresghtedness which has long
been associated with phases of the agency.
Looking ahead far into the future, the Commits
sion is taking steps to provide generations not yet
born with green belt which will forever separate
the expanding metropolitan areas of Washington and
Baltimore.
With the population of both areas spreading out
at everncreasng rate it is essential that action be
initiated to preserve for posterity the land which
would otherwise be gobbled up by housing develop
ments shopping centers and industrial plants.
The Patuxent River is the only major stream in
Maryland which is still largely unpolluted 1t passes
through of the most beautiful land in the State
The Planning Commission is to be congratulated
for moving promptly to protect the Patuxent water
shed by acquiring the necessary land in Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties in cooperation with the
State Department of Forests and Parks. We hope
other counties along the river viii follow suit with
equal prompmess.
