Production cost of the WSSC
Annual Report has been
trimmed considerably during
the past two years. 1900
copies of the 1859 Re-
port cost $6,042. The same
quantity of the new Report
cost $4,810-or about % cents
a copy less than the news
stand price of three copies of
the SENTINEL.
ED Note: No, the Sentinel
Is now 5 cents per issue
three times week.
OF course, a lot of effort
Is made to keep the cost as
low as possible. Written copy,
art work, layout and most of
the photography was done by
this office. Quite a bit of the
work was accomplished under
the light of midnight oil at
home in an attempt to improve
the quality of the publication
and keep costs down.
1t should also be pointed out
that both last years and this
years Annual Reports have
been well received by bond rat
ing agencies and investors in
WSSC bonds. We are hopeful
that the Reports have played
a part in the achievement of
a higher bond rating by the
WSSC this year. The result
ant lower interest rates OBJ
tanned on Commission bonds
are saving the residents of the
Suburban Sanitary District
hundreds of dollars.
The cost of the Annual Re-
port has little, if any, bearing
on the three-cent sewer rate
increase, mentioned in your
editorial. AS is pointed out on
Page IL Of the Annual Report:
ITO achieve a pollution
free bi-county (sewerage)
system, the WSSC has tied in
most of its sewers with treat
ment facilities operated by the
District of Columbia at the
huge Blue Plains Treatment
Plant on the Potomac River
south of Washington. The
Commission pays the District
for treatment on a metered
volume basis. 1t also pays the
District for expansion Of fa-
cilities to provide capacities
necessary for the movement
and treatment of suburban
Maryland sewage.
These payments to the Dis
trict of Columbia, which in the
next five years are expected
to amount to about $15.8 mil
lion for system expansion
alone, are largely responsible
for the recently enacted three
cent increase in the WSSCs
sewer use charge"
] hope your readers will ac-
cept our invitation to write
this office and request a copy
of the Annual Report so that
they, the members of their
families, and their friends can
read about the operation of
the WSSC. The information in
the Report is important to the
present ard future of all resi-
dents of the suburban Mary
land area.

The University Of Maryland
Orchestra, while still nothing
like as good as the best Of the
student and amateur orchestras
in the area. has improved con-
siderably since I last heard it
a few months ago.
Indeed, it has reached the
point where. to a limited extent,
it is able to project some Of
the fine musicianship of its
conductor, Joel Berman. Thus
the phrasing Of the main theme
in the Cimarosa overture was
delicate yet vivacious, and beau
tifully suited to the style Of
the music.
The two young soloists were
at best moderately successful.
Mr.. Hullfish has a pleasant
enough sound; but his approach
to the Hindemith was timid and
stiff. Miss jenkins did some
nice playing in the slow move
ment of the Vivaldi, but the
fast movements were beyond
her present technique.
Music lovers who know Stew
art Gordon's playing would ex-
pect fine things in his reading
of the Schumann concerto. I
regret to report that his play
ing was barely professional.
This, Of course, is absurd. yet
every artist is occasionally the
victim Of a wild nightmare Of
the sort Mr.. Gordon must have
experienced last night, and the
sensible thing is simply to for
get it.

Court old Eichmonn
Set Order of Deaths

JERUSALEM, May 18 (AP)
Adolf Eichmann personally
chose candidates for the deatE
chambers at TheresienStadt
concentration camp, scratching
them off a master list with an
*" and marking the names of
those to be spared with a circle,
a witness testified today.
Viteslav Diamant, a Czech
born electrician, said he saw the
GeStapo chief for Jewish af-
fairs in the camp in September,
1914, when some $4,000 Jews
were shipped to Auschwitz gas
chambers.
Asked if he could identify the
defendant now, Mr.. Diamant
paused to take another look at
Eichmann in his glass cage and
shook his head, saying:
II wouldn't recognize him to-
day. He was in uniform then
and he was young"
Mr.. Diamant said he saw the
selections" being made almost
constantly and once was hailed
before Eichmann himself.
After his own ordeal, Mr.. Dia-

holocaust for which Israel holds
him primarily responsible as
head of the Gestapo's Bureau
for Jewish Affairs-"the final
solution of the Jewish problem. /"
Adolph Engelstein, a native
of Czechoslovakia where he was
railway construction engineer
told the court he was thrown
into ThereSienStadt in 1912 and
put to building a portable GAL
lows capable of hanging three
men at a time.
Il was a construction engi-
neer. but to build a gallows >"
he said, and his voice trailed
off as though there was Moth
ing more to be said.
Earlier in the day, testimony
was introduced that Eichmann
personally ordered the execu-
ton of 16 Jews for trying to
smuggle letters out of There
sienstadt.
Eichmann's order was re-
ported by one of his colleagues
in the Nazi campaign to Ii
quidate the Jews, Capt. Sieg-
fried Seidl, first commander of
Theresienstadt when it was
established in 1941, later COM
mander of the Belsen camp and

Rhythmic interest.
The final work played was a
sonorous, practical quartet by
Baltimore's Peter Mennin.
While material and treatment
were somewhat conventional,
the string writing is superb and
the last movement was very
exciting.
I hope the quartet continues
to play together. The ensemble
tone still lacks something of
suavity in lyric passages. but
the groups plays with gre a t

special effect I noticed and

mant said he was told by the
Jewish camp elder of Eich-
mann's decision:
you will live but your two
brothers will die"
They did, in Auschwitz.
Challenged by defense coun-
sci Robert Servatius with the
claim that Eichmann was in
Hungary at that time, Mr..
Diamant replied:
We'll, he didn't introduce
himself to me personally but
everybody-even the SIS Off

me-"

cross examination.

The Institute Of Contempt
rary Arts presented a concert
by the Lywen Quartet last
night featuring works by three
composers of the area.
The most unusual and most
contemporary work played was
a new sonata for violin and
piano by Emerson Meyers,
given a most impressive read
ing by Werner Lywen, the lead
er Of the quartet, and the Rev.
Russell Woolen.
The quartet bears the title,
"An Aspect Of Aleatoric," a
hint of the wry and Puckish
humor that appears through
out the work. 1t is set in four
movements: Allegro, Lento-
"the 1920's hommaged," Allie
gretto - Souvenir de Paris, I"
and Adagio - Allegro vivace.
The sonata is dedicated to the
memory of Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge, and the second move
ment is made up of impressions
Of the modern music heard in
the 1920s in Washington
through her generosity.
This appears to me to be the
finest music have heard from
Mr.. Meyers. 1t is tightly
structured and full of ideas. 1t
is also fiendishly difficult - a
real finger-breaker, but the two
artists managed it.
The Robert Paris quartet
that opened the program is un-
usual in its structure. 1t is in
five movements, the first, third,
and last for the quartet as a
whole, while the second is a
duet that poses a broad, lyric
song by the viola over a
pizzicato cello, and the fourth
movement is a sort of perpetual
motion piece for violin, viola

Removal of
State Aide
By the Associated Press

The Civil Service Commission
has found that Sam M. Engel-
hardt, chairman of the Ala
bama State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee and director Of
the Alabama Highway Depart
ment, violated the Hatch Act
The commission ordered that
he be removed from his high
way post within 30 days.
The Hatch Act limits political
activities by some Federal en-
ployes and State officials anG
employees engaged in activities
financed by Federal funds.
The commission sent it's de-
cision to Mr.. Engelhardt in
Alabama several days ago and
made it public here yesterday
1t said Mr.. Engelhardt had
violated the Hatch Act "by
membership on a political COM
mittee" and "by political man.
agement." The violations oc-
Cured between January 20
1859, and August /, 1860, the
commission said.
The commission rejected q
contention that Mr.. Engelhardt
was not subject to provisions o1
the Hatch Act. 1t said the vio-
lation warrants his removal
from employment with the
State Highway Department
within 80 days.

amazing Kennedy family OF
Massac chusetts has the
tongues of the Bay State pol
iticians wagging. which is
nothing new. This time it is
about the possibility, and
even the probability that the
family, already having a
Kennedy as President of the
United States and another as
Attorney General, will seek to
put youthful Edward M. Ken
nedy in the Senate. Election
of a Senator next year is nee
essary because John F. Ken
nedy resigned his Senate seat
to become President.
The big question is whether
the independent voters of
Massachusetts, would accept
quite so large a dose of Ken
nedys in high public office at
the same time. Political wise
acres say Ted Kennedy (as
he is generally called could
win Endorsement of the Dem
ocratic State Convention in
1862 if he wished to make the
race but that he undoubtedly
would have opposition in the
following primary for the
actual nomination. When
President Kennedy appointed
his brother Bob to be Attor-
ney General, there was some
gulping, but the appointment
was swallowed on the grounds
the President was entitled to
have whom he wanted in his
cabinet and also that he was
entitled to have the man who
had been so close to him
during his political career and
campaigns. When it comes
to Ted, however, it is a diff
ferent thing. Also, the voters
are remembering that an
other member of the Ken
nedy family, brother-in-law
r. Sargent Shriver. has been
appointed head of the Peace
Corps by the President.
Edward Kennedy. like his
brothers, is an attractive
young man who seems to take
to politics like a duck to
water. He is 90 years old and
next year will attain the
constitutional age of 80 re-
quired for a Senator of the
United States. Henry Clay in
the earlier days of the Re-
public was elected a Senator

qualify until he became 30

City of BrotherIy Love

Philadelphia, which may be trans
lated from the Greek as meaning
brotherly love and which is sometimes
known as city of this worthy quality,
turned surprisingly violent the other
night. Principal victim, to his dignity
if not his person, was Richardson Dill
worth, popular Democratic Mayor since
1855, who was trying to "sell" to some of
his constituents a new plan for residen-
tial automobile parking A jeering and
hooting mass meeting never did hear
Mr.. Dilworth through, and barrage OF
beer cans, rocks and fruit turned the
whole affair into an ugly riot.
From this distance, it is difficult to
Judge the merits of Mayor Dilworth'S
proposal. In brief, it is that car-owners
lacking off-street facilities would be
required to buy overnight parking
stickers at $3.50 fee per month. They
would then be privileged to park at
legal curbside locations or in new
municipal parking lot in the area
affected. In defense of his plan, the
Mayor did manage to say that the city
could not 60 through another winter
with car r-clogged streets that made snow
removal impossible. In the long term,
he added, automobiles will "engulf" the
city unless some solution is found for
their disposition
Philadelphia's troubles are not, un-
fortunately, unique to that city. Both
parking and traffic are creating massive
and even dangerous problems for many
municipalities. Residential resentment
at the idea of being charged for parking
in ones own block may be understand
able, but in due time the illness can
become more harmful than the proposed
cure. Disrespect and violence, of course,
will help nothing, and is no credit to the
Philadelphians who participated.

Advancing Minutemon

Our country continues to make
highly significant progress toward arm
ing itself with a truly formidable
arsenal of intercontinental ballistic
missiles. The latest evidence along that
line is the fact that the Solid-fuel
Minuteman has once again been fired
successfully, for the second time out of
three tests since last February.
This new launching has sent the
weapon down the South Atlantic, at
tremendous speed, for a distance of
about 5000 miles, and it is to undergo
additional tests in the next few weeks.
These tests, which will include firings
from 90-foot-deep underground "silos,"
probably will put it on flights for its
planned maximum range Of $500 miles.
Although not so big or far-ranging
as the liquid-fuel Atlas and Titan ICBMs,
and although its nuclear warhead is
smaller than the latter "a Titan, in
cidentally, has already been fired with
great success from "Silo" built 146 feet
underground), the Minuteman promises,
because of its solid propellant, to be
easier to store and handle, lending itself
to swifter launching. 1t is expected to
become combat-ready in appreciable
numbers by the middle of next year.
Along with the Atlas and Titan
missiles, the Minuteman (some perhaps
in rowing railroad launcherS) will be
located at great complex Of sites
throughout the country The Defense
Department hopes to have force OF
900 of them in operational status by
1854, with these divided into "squadrons"
: run by system of remote control under
which they could be fired toward their
targets within matter of minutes.
Accordingly, from the standpoint OF
deterrent power meant to safeguard our
Nation and the free world as a whole
against surprise attack, it is altogether
encouraging and reassuring that the
Minuteman, together with our bigger
ICBMs, is advancing steadily toward
real combat-readiness. Our country is
the stronger for it, and the stronger we
are, of course, the less inclined the
potential aggressor will be to strike.

with an exchange of badinage and
ending on a note of acid antipathy.
No background in the behavioral
sciences is necessary to diagnose the
emotions involved. On the one side, and
the more corrosive one, is the poor chap
just returned, broke, to hot, long
closed house, a crabgrass lawn, and a
job that has momentarily at least lost
its savor On the other, there is blithe-
spirited vacation -delayer, full of dis
gustingly cheerful anticipation of time
and money to squander' on whatever
his heart desires.
OF all versions of the realist and
the dreamer, these two are the most
irreconcilable. Hopelessly, we might as
we'll conclude-leaving the hostility
between them to time and nature.
