Local Area Escapes
Snow; Ice Is Heavy

Garrett county missed the six
to eight inch snowfall that hit the
tri-state area Tuesday night and
Wednesday, but came in for its
share OF trouble as the result of
sleet and ice
Oakland got less than an inch
of snow early this morning which
was the heaviest of the week, but
did absorb several inches of raia
the past five days.
At Mt. Lake Park some trees fell
across telephone cables and caused
interruption of service in that
area for short time.
The West Maryland Power COM
pany reported line trouble on
Backbone mountain and the tops
of other hills in the area, due to
sleet breaking down the wires.
There was still trouble in this
area this morning as the sleet
continued to persist
The Potomac Edison company
had an interruption of current i'll
the FriendSville area presumably
on account of ice forming on the
wires. The electricity was out yes
terday from about o'clock to Sis
p. m. No further trouble was eX-
perienced.
The temperature remained near
the freezing mark and further
snow was predicted for today.
The first day of spring Monday,
March 20, was ushered in with
clear and cool weather, and this
followed two days of steady rain
with smattering of sleet There
was some snow last Thursday, fol-
lowed by 10 above zero reading
on Friday morning, Friday turned
clear and moderating,
Rain fell again on Tuesday, later
turning to hail, snow and then
additional rain in the afternoon
The mercury dipped to rs degrees
on Wednesday morning but the
weather moderated and it turned
cloudy and foggy.
Cumberland newspapers, which
never fail to paint black pic
ture of this county whenever pos
sible. failed to depict the weather
situation on the mountain top &C
curately this week, They claimed
eight inches of snow was dumped
over Western Maryland, which
was not the case
Road conditions in the county
remain hazardous with many OF
them being covered with sleet.
The forests were a veritable fairy

Docket Is Light
For M arch Term
Criminal Court
Scheduling Of Murder Trial
Uncertain At Present

One of the lightest criminal
dockets in years is in store for
the March term of court which is
scheduled to get under way next
Monday morning at o'clock.
There is uncertainty. even about
the trial for John Sherlock, 3S,
OF Angola, Ind, who was indicted
for murder by the March Term
grand jury two weeks ago. and
who is now undergoing mental
examination in the Clifton T.
Perkins hospital at Jessups. No
report had been received by the
States Attorney, w. Dwight
Slower, IS to his mental condition,
up to press time, which makes it
highly improbable than any trial
in his case could come up before
the end of next week.
Slower said yesterday, that it
would be necessary to await the
outcome of the investigation be-
fore making any definite plans or
calling witnesses from outside the
state. The trial, of course, will de-
pend upon the result of the physi-
clans examination.
Most of those who were indicted
by the grand jury are already in
iails or penitentiaries with vary
ing sentences or held by out of
state authorities for alleged in
fractions of the law committed in
those states.
MIR. Slower said he felt sure
that he could finish all March
term court business by noon of the
first day They included num-
Der of criminal appeal cases,

from the office of Trial Magis-
trate, Robert NJ. Maroney.

week is case against Smiley
Leonard Everett Lloyd, on
charge Of assisting in the escape
of Stanley Tasker, Walter Lee
Davis and Julian Irwin, Jr., from
the Garrett county jail several
months ago The three have since
been captured and sentenced.
Lloyd was arrested and placed
under bond on Tuesday of this
week.
If and when Sherlock is tried it
will be to fix responsibility for the
death of his mother, Mrs. Bridget

ing an argument December s in a

The man was confined to the

people in Washington to con-
tinue to argue that because
Castro succeeded o bad man
in Fulgencio Batista, Castro
obviously must be a pretty
good man. Not even the

More Importantly, the
President himself has at last
really got his Irish up. The
collapse Of the invasion, to
which he gave some assis-
tance but not enough because
he felt he could not, hit him
very hard.
Too, the mere fact of its
failure strengthened those

But it is general knowledge
that in our times some labor

"If we multiply the mill
tary-material bases Of the
Federal Republic of Germany
by the militarist and revan-
chist spirit which, like a
quarter of a century ago,
permeates all spheres Of the
state and public life, the
graveness of the danger Gre
ated by the present develop
, ments in the Federal Repub-
lie of Germany will become
self-evident. The population
of West Germany lives in an
atmosphere of rampant re-
vanchiSt passions"
But the Soviet Union over
looks entirely the deep-seated
feeling which arises within
any patriotic people when
II million persons of the
same flesh and blood are
kept in bondage by a foreign
government. All the sympa-
thy which the Soviets pro-
fess to have for the colonial
peoples in Africa and Asia
seems hypocritical when the
feelings of a civilized and ef-
ficient people like those in
Germany are disregarded as
they yearn for the restora-
ton of their homeland.
Instead, the Soviet note
now attempts to justify a
perpetuation of the division
of the German people by
maintaining that East and
West Germany are already
two different nations - one
Communist and the other
capitalistic. The note says
on this point:

are separated by deep differ.

gan of self-determination to

A section of Mr.. Khru-

U. S. Considering Economic Blockade,
Permanent ResettIement of REFUGEES

First, an economic block

program Of enduring and
wide Federal assistance to
Cuban refugees from Castro,s
Communist dictatorship -
actually the creation of ial
Berlin-type escape corridor

These are the emerging
probable answers of the
United States to Fidel
Castro.
The Kennedy administra-
ton, beginning with the
Preside ent himself, has
reached the limits of toll
erance with this tinpot So
Wet satellite. Since the fail
ure last April of the patriots
invasion Of Cuba, Washing
ton by necessity has followed
a policy only Of give-Castro-

This was simply the only
policy in sight, apart from
a direct American military
Intervention, which Presi-
dent Kennedy could not in
any case contemplate short
of a military attack on us in
Cuba, as, for example, on our
Guantanamo naval base.
Thus the line here since
April has been purely mega
tive and waiting.
Castro, himself, however, Is
now giving handsome if un-
whiting cooperation to trans
forming that line into an af-
firmative and active one.

DAVID LAWRENCE

IN EUROPE-What causes
wars? What was the public
passion that helped to cause
World War I in 1914 and
World War II in 1892 Cur
iously enough, the latest
Soviet note to the United
States Government raises
unwittingly the very point
that could some day give mo-
tivation to World War III.
For underlying the public
opinion of France in 1914
was q spirit of revenge
aroused by the seizure Of her
Alsace = Lorraine provinces
when German armies tri-
umphed in 1870. A vengeful
feeling kept building up in
France for generations there
after.
Likewise. in 1899, the same
spirit Of revenge had festered
for 20 years inside Germany
over the terms imposed after
its defeat in 1918. 1t was this
that gave Hitler his chance
to rally an embittered people.
Today the Soviet govern
ment apparently is not yet
aware of what the spirit of
revenge can do inside a de-
feated nation. For the latest
Soviet note uses at least a
half f-dozen times the French
word for revenge-"re-
vanche"-in seeking to boil
Ster an argument that really
should be turned around.
For wouldn't a divided
Germany give the German
people in the next several
years a constant reminder
Of their defeat and keep
burning the fires of revenge
against Russia? France, in
contrast, does not fear West
Germany but is actually
forming an economic and
political union with the free
government at Bonn.
The Soviet note, however,
points out that "militarists
and revanchistS are again
growing strong in Western
. Germany" and then adds:
Before everybody's eyes,
Western Germany is becom-
ing q seat of war danger in
Europe. The Bundeswehr
(militia) is being trained as
an army being formed and
designed to wage a rocket
nuclear war. The work

thought conducted in the

kitchen. This, he said, was
a waste. 1t would be much
better, he said, for them to be
engaged in productive work
and leave the business of
cooking to professional cooks.
Women" he said, should
contribute constructively to
the economy and eat their
meals in restaurants"
American women, who later
heard of this this. were in
clined to applaud Mr.. K.
This revealed a lamentable
lack of understanding Of the
Premier's words. His idea of
productive work does not en-
vision an afternoon with
cocktails and tables of bridge.
In fact, this latest note by
Mr.. Khrushchev is q picture
window through which we
peer to learn something about
the difference in the econom-
ic problem of this country
and the USSR.
We now have more than 6
million persons unemployed.
The Soviet Union needs wom-
en- to add to its labor force.
1t is, in a sense. a new and
expanding country with new
lands to open up. At present,

many, poCn these states nave
long since made their choice. "
And who made the choice"
for them? The Soviet Union
stands convicted before the
world Of having given in our
times the biggest single inn
petus to "revanchism" - the
spirit Of revenge against Rus
sis - that modern history
can record 80
The technical and legal
points which the Soviet I'm
ion offers also as a justifi-
cation for a separate peace
treaty are plainly inaccurate.
Separate peace treaties, to be
sure. are not in themselves
unknown in history, because
the existence Of varying con-.
ditions has always been recog-
nized among belligerents.
But rarely has q set Of
allies countenanced or aqui-
esced in a separate treaty
which puts a substantial part
Of the vanquished territory
into the hands Of a conquer
ing ally without first obtain
ing the consent Of the VIC
torious partners IN the war.
Unfortunately. In this in
stance. the signing Of a sep
arate peace treaty with East
Germany would prolong, in
effect, a wartime occupation
and continue the domination
of II million German people
by a foreign government. It
would attempt to cram down
their throatS a way of living
which denies them a voice
in their own government or
in the kind Of economic sys-
tenn under which they would
prefer to live.
The situation indeed may
some day be ripened for an
other dictatorship to count
on rallying this very patriotic
feeling to start a war Of re-
venge against Russia. It
would be far better to give
the West German. republic
the opportunity to foster and
develop in East Germany the
spirit of democracy and free
dom which the Bonn govern
ment has instilled in the
people of West Germany
since l945. For this is the
best way to build a bridge of
friendship and peace across
the borders between Germany
and the Russian bloc. so many
of whose members would like
wise appreciate q chance for
self determination and a
truly democratic system Of
government.
