Dear Sir:
Having read so many comments
about Smith Islands during the freeze,
I would like to add my own.
1t seems that most people have the
idea that food was showered on Smith
Islands-given to them. The only
thing "given" was from the Red Cross
not enough to keep family from
being hungry one day.
Major Carey had provisions landed
here but the storekeepers signed
checks and the customers bought
from the stores as usual.
have lived here six years and have
never known a family to go hungry
The more fortunate divide with the
others.
The islanders regret keenly Hun
| ters death. No one here thought Of
crossing the expanse Of IL miles o1
ice, during the worst snow blizzard il
years.
True, some provisions were low but
thanks to Serg't. Menash Katz (wht
cast his lot with the Tylerton people
during the worst of the freeze) ant
AL Bennett, air pilot, food was sup
piled, medical aid brought, mail came
and went; so did newspaper report
ers.
Everybody was happy by cozy fire
or skating on the ice.
AS for myself was almost as con
tent as if I had been with loved one
and friends in Pocomoke City( whicl
is saying lot.)
Sincerely yours,

Tremendous pressure being exeed this country today to
silence the voice of Americanism.
To speak out in defense of the American system to oppose
undermining of the Supreme Court the Constitution to be-
critical harbraned legislative fantasies to be labeled
Tory Or part of those forces of privilege and greed
Perhaps remember when it high crime to at
tack the foundations of America But:
Today radicaism goes unchaenged It only those who
speak against radcasm who denounced Who face nqus
tion and prying into their private affairs.
Who inquiries officially what the United Mine Workers o
with it's 900 war chest which the New York
says possesses? Who knows inquiries what amounts
radical organizations?
The business of America want unemployment
above all With they want the maintenance of the
liberties of every citzen-rich and poor.
Americans today confront their eveest challenge to speal
forth boldly Not to be ntmdated by those who make
ular through democracy compared with
tonary centralized government.

DALLAS, December 3.-Representa-
tive Hatton w. Summers, chairman
Of the House Judiciary Committee.
said yesterday he would introduce q
bill in the forthcoming session Of
Congress to permit United States Su-
preme Court justices to retire on full
pay at the age Of 10.
He said he also planned bill to
Zermit the United States Attorney
General to intervene in cases before
Federal District Courts involving the
eonstitutionality Of Federal laws.
Under existing laws" Summers
said, when constitutionality Of q
Federal law Is in question in litiga-

1T Is not fair or reasonable to have
constitutional questions involving all
the people settled in a private litiga-

resented in court.
"The proposed act permitting su-
preme Court justices to retire will
extend to them the same rights now
held by Circuit and District judges

There Is no retirement provision
for members of the Supreme Court.
