British endured such cam
paigns in World War I.
The maritime convoy
which seems so simple a con-
cept that one assumes that
it must be very old, was in
fact an invention of the first
World War. Mr.. Baldwin tells
us that it was not until 1917
that the procedure became
standard. 1T was a simple
idea" he says, but it was
to win the war"
Throughout the book one

much of the fighting.

Germany lost the war at it's
very beginning. The Schlief-

history" says Mr.. Baldwin.
was modified before the
wars beginning by (Field
Marshal Helmuth Graf Won
Moltke (Chief of the Ger
man General Staff. Indeed,
many critics believe that
these notifications doomed
the German strategy even
before the guns spoke. Moltke
eliminated the invasion of
Holland, thus forcing his two
right wing armies through
the fortified bottleneck of
Liege. Worried about the
possible eruption of French
troops on German soil on
his left, he reduced the
strength of the right wing to
strengthen his left. And
similarly worried about the
weak German forces ear
marked for the eastern
front, opposite the Russians,
he MIXED away more than
four and half corps from the
western fronts right wing
to bolster the East" If
these critics" are correct,
we can only regret that the
participants did not recog-
nize it in 1914.
At its best, Mr.. Baldwin's
style is more than adequate
to the demands made on it:
In 1916, God - it became
clear-was on the side of the
big factories as well as the
big battalions. Industrial
mobilization, a new term in
the military dictionary, har-
messed the factories of the
belligerents to the NAV of
war, supervised the farms,
taxed incomes, rationed food.
Prodigious quantities of am
munition and war equipment
poured from the machines;
yet ever more was always
needed"
Sometimes, however, the
language gets out of hand.

at the universally Of dry

of deformed babies whose
abnormalitieS have been ap-
parently associated with the
use of the drug thalidomide.
We've hardly gotten over this
stir when a new health haz-
ard has erupted from the
ground in Montgomery Coun-
ty. Being more than pass
ingly interested in public
health and preventive med
icine, I read with unusual in
terest your editorial entitled
"Montgomery's Scandal"
Some years ago while I
was taking special training in
preventive medicine in the
Harvard School Of Public
Health, the Public Health De-
partment Of Montgomery was
held out to us as an example
of one of the Nations finest
public health departments.
Then, as now, it was admin
istered by DR.. William Pee
pies.
1t is without reservation
that I would place my health
and the health of my family
under the able administra-
ton of this public health Of
ficial. I say this while taking
due cognizance of the ap-
parently reliable reports Of
we'll contamination in the
county. I give Montgomery
County's Public Health De-
partment my vote Of conf
dence because I base it on
the overall record of the
health department. And that
record is a good one!
Physicians and public
health officials are not con-
cerned with E. Coli contami-
nation per Sc. This contain
ination is important because
it shows the potential hazard
of other organisms that could
cause illness. The most i'm
portant of these other Or
ganisms is that which causes
typhoid fever. I have not
heard of any cases of typhoid
fever in the county in a long
time. This is not to excuse
the clerical negligence of fail
ing to notify the residents
whose wells harbored the E.
coli organism, that rather to
say in effect all's well that
ends we'll.
DR.. Peoples and his entire
department are to be lauded
for the excellent protection
they afford the residents Of
Montgomery County. Find the
individual who runs the flaw
less organization that never
makes a mistake of omission.

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Tour of Great Wars BottIefronts
BY DONALD MINTZ
WORLD WAR 1, An Outline

WORLD WAR 1, An Outline
History by Hanson w.
Baldwin, l8l pp., maps.
Harper & Row, $685.
The concept of the nation
in arms" grew out of the
French Revolution. But it
was not until the first World
War that mankind learned of
the vast destructiveness lurk-
ing in the idea.
In World War l." Hanson
w. Baldwin, the military ed
itor Of the New York Times,
reminds us that the conflict
was "an earthquake (that)
shook the history of modern
man. A total of at least
8.600.000 men in uniform
were killed in battle or died
of wounds or disease (Some
estimates exceed 10,000,000) .
At least 2l.220,00O others
were wounded. Russia. Aus
tria, Germany and France
lost most heavily; including
prisoners and missing, their
percentages of casualties
ranged from 64.o per cent of
the men mobilized in the
case Of Germany to 80 per
cent in the case of Austria.
Note well Mr.. Baldwin's
phrase men in uniform"
These incredible statistics do
not include civilian casual
ties which ARE numbered in
additional but uncounted
millions"
The sheer horror of this
great conflagration fasci-
mates us. So do it's similari-
ties to World War II. And
so does the fact that in
some ways we are still fight
ing it. So the literature
about the war continues to
grow and it continues to find
readers.
THE SUBTITLE OF Mr..
Baldwin's contribution is
perhaps a bit misleading. His
book is neither in outline
form nor telegraphic style. 1t
is an outline only in the
sense that it is brief and
necessarily somewhat COM
pressed. Mr.. Baldwin has
devoted himself entirely to
military matters. Except for
an occasional remark to the
effect that a given bit of
curious behavior resulted
from political rather than
military considerations, poll
tics never intrudes.
AS we look back on the
war, we tend to think of it
first and foremost in terms
of the western front and
submarine warfare with an
occasional Side-glance at the
eastern front. It is one of
the virtues of World War
I" that Mr.. Baldwin conSci-
entiously tours all the fronts
year by year.
This procedure, besides be-
ing inherently just and in
telligent, serves to call to
mind a number of side mat
ters. Rapid campaigns across
the arid Sinai peninsula, for
example, are not the inven-
tion Of the Israeli Army.
Both the Germans and the

Park Police


A recent editorial mot in
The STAR condemning Park
Police Chief Harold F.
Stewart and the United
States Park Police as merely
another vest-pocket law en-
forcement agency was very
disturbing. This editorial
advocated the use of National
Park Service Rangers in our
National Capital Parks.
Washington has recently
been described by Congress-
man Becker as a jungle"
but by any stretch Of imagi-
nation it is not a forest"
and could not be policed by
Park Rangers mot to be con-
fused with trained police like
the Texas Rangers) equipped
only with the knowledge of
forestry. unframed and I'M
familiar with the modern
technique of crime preven-
ton. A recent newspaper
article brought out the fact
that in the Nations parks
which are patrolled by the
Park Rangers a DANGEROUS
condition existed, hotel &C
commodationS were not fire
proof. water contaminated,
etc. What has the Interior
Department done to correct
this situation? If the newly
appointed Deputy Chief of
the Park Police with TOO men
as Chief of the Park Police
Rangers could not correct
this how Is he going to face
the jungle" Of Washington,
D. c., with 200 Park Police?
During the tenure of office
by the deposed Chief Stewart
a horse troop was established
for police and other work,
police dogs were trained long
before the Metropolitan Police
realized their value, officers
were trained for one-man
patrol duty in scout cars
ID. c. Police use two mem.
Chief Stewart was a dedi-
Gated law enforcement officer
acquainted with the latest
techniques of crime detection
and when he was sent to
Guam the records will show
that United States Park Po-
lice had one of the finest
me-prevention records in
the Nation. The replacement
of Chief Stewart by a civilian
has brought deterioration in
this fine unit leaving it open
for pot shots by groups who
are definitely committed to
the sabotage of law enforce
ment.
Dissension exists in every
organization, the armed d

business, etc. In past years
diSSenSion existed in the D. c.
Police Department, but the
Chief was not removed: wea-
ponS were given to him to
combat it and the situation
was corrected
AS a veteran and an Ameri-
can citizen I protest the un-
American treatment Of Chief
Stewart. If Chief Stewart,
who I understand is still
Chief of the Park Police, is
incompetent then remove him
but first give him an op-
portunity to present his side
of the case.
I appeal to The Star to
please continue your policy
of fair play and bring to the
public the true facts about
the United States Park Police.
Justin 7. Mccarthy
+ -
How can the Interior
Department hope to alleviate
disSension in the Park Police
by removing its chief? How
can they expect a capable job
from a Civil Service employe
like Mr.. Castro, an acting
chief entirely unfamiliar with
police procedure? Why reduce
an alert police force in the
District to gree n-garbed
Rangers? Why not let
Smokey the Bear" preserve
our forest but keep the Park
Police to protect our citizens?
I commend The Star on its
open stand on behalf of the
Park Police, but I would like
to see q more unified and
more publicized stand on the
true facts by our other local
newspapers.

Chamber OF

"What IS the product of the
Chamber of Commerce." you
might ask. To answer your ques-
ton, one must consider that this
organization does not furnish you
with a visible article or service,
but represents the seed that must
necessarily be retained from any
harvest for replanting. According
to the authorizes on the subject, the
basic product should be can organ
lied effort to promote, stimulate,
increase and improve business and
build a better community"
Regardless of the harvest, the
farmer must have the same
amount of seed the next spring
for replanting. BY the same token,
it costs the same to operate your
Chamber of Commerce in a lean
year as in a highly productive one.
If you feel that the Chamber of
Commerce in your town is not
doing the job il should, why don't
you air your complaints to those
who are in position to make use
of your criticism, rather than use
il for an excuse for not helping

pie, who have not had the oppor-
tunity of working closely with

and responsibility this job requires.
Eldon, in his entire year IN of
flee, seldom went through a day
without performing some task for
tho Chamber. IN many cases these
tasks required a good part of the
day away from his business. How

reducing the total of their 1868
feed grain acreage corn, grain

20 percent. The maximum diver
Sions is the higher of 40 percent
of the base acreage or % acres
provided this is not more than
the base acreage. The acreage of
the three crops d959-60 average
acreage, as adjusted will be COM
muned into one total feed grain
base for each farm, and the farm
er may choose to divert one or
more of the feed grains, with the
diversion payment being made at
the per-acre rate applicable TO the
particular grain or grains diverted
Farmers who have planted their
1868 barley crop this fall will be
able to take part in the 1868 pro-
gram by reducing their total feed
grain acreage by at least 20 per-
cent.
Price support to participating
farmers will be available partly
through loans and purchase agree
ment and partly through the
price-support payment. Loan and
purchase agreements will reflect
a national average price of $1.02
per buShel on corn, S1.62 per
cwt. on grain sorghum, and 10
cents per bushel on barley. In
addition, price-Support payments
will be made on the normal pro
duction of the 1868 feed grain
acreage at the rate of Is cents
per buShel on corn, 20 cents per
cwt. &c cents per busheD on
grain Sorgums, and IA cents per
buShel on barley.
Oats and rye are not included
in the 1868 feed grain program,
thus no payment is provided and
no reduction in acreage is requir-
ed for price-suppOrt eligibility. As
in 1862 the national average sup
ports for these two crops for 1868
will be O. cents per buShel for oats
and S1.02 per bushel for rye.
Participating farmers will be alb
lie to put all of their ~1963-crop
corn, grain sorghum and barley
under price-support loans and
purchase agreements. This is a
change from earlier programs,
which limited support to the
NAL production of the 1862 crop
Under the 1868 program, acres
taken out Of feed grains may be
planted to gaur, sesame, safflower
%Sunflower and castor beans, but at
a lower diversion rate-with no
payment on acres planted to SAT-
flower. Mailing barley in 1868
will be treated like all other bar
ley.
Farmers may receive part Of
