 The first secret elections in the Soviet Union have come and gone without ripping the surface of Russian political life Not Hitler has his people las well trained for their electoral duties does Josef Stalin In Tashkent only 937 percent of the eligible voters troubled to go to the polls But in Moscow 9913 percent voted and in Mnsk 996 percent turned out. There must be very little sickness in Minsk
 Pretty nearly everyone voted properly too. Pen cls provided at state expense but not heavily used The ballots contained the names of good Communist nominees. and it was not necessary to do any marking unless one chose to sign his name the ballot proof of his earnestness.
 The result of this democratic" election is very much the in Germany where a Reichstag without functions is periodically chosen by unanimous vote-nOt secret however The Soviet legislature will be made up of party men who have been checked and double checked by party officials for their abso- ute loyalty. Scratches at the last minute and re- placement by undoubted Communists took care of any danger that opposition might develop
 The chief innovation of the Soviet elections is the absence of opposition candidates. It was consd- cred unnecessary have candidates opposed Staln cn the ballot since all such debatable issues are threshed out within the Communist party To empha- size how debates settled, few recalcrant party members who got off the official party line were exc cuted election day. Soviet democracy is not without it's od-fashoned features, dating back to Czarist days.
 There other, more comnendable. innovations also The polling places opened ahead of time Iso that customers need not wait outside in weather ranging to Is degrees below zero Of special interest is the practice of supplying comfortable chairs the polling booth. This would be far desirable in America where voting is a long taks rather than in Russia, where there is nothing to do but hand back ballot already properly marked. In many polling places the Russians also provided music and dancing This may help to explain why 99 percent voted in Russia and only half that percentage vote in America
 It is too early to judge seriously the real nature of the regime in Russia which is called demo- cratic. But at first blush their system of elections does not encourage the belief that free government has arrived in the Soviet Union.

The Files OF The Citizen

1.-THE Tamiami Trail, as a
whole is a grand project" said
County Judge Hugh Gum, who
returned last evening from the
trail celebration. "A car can make
from IS to 80 miles with ease. We
just logged along and made SO
miles at times" The judge said
that just beyond Naples there is
a place of about u miles in
length which has not been COM
pleted, but a large force was
working day and night, and much
Roadway was being made. The
official motorcade did not pass
over the section of trail which
is Monroe County, and so far as
it is known it received but lit
tie, if any attention from the
promoters, it seems to Judge
Gum. ASIDE from this over
sight the celebration was a grand
success and gave thousands of
persons a new conception of
South Florida'S great fertility,
its bOundless resources and Won
derful possibilities" the Judge de
clared.
