If you want to spoil a pleasant
day for a politician, just whisper
the word pension" to him. It's
an odds-on bet that he will be
visited with a terrific headache.
For the old-age assistance prob
lem is rapidly reaching the
stature of our Number domestic
issue. AS an AP writer, John
Hightower, puts it, Voices too
feeble to carry across the family
parlor may echo in stentorian
tones throughout the halls of
Congress this winter. The next
Congress may do little or nothing
about it. But, unless a miracle
occurs, some not far distant Con-
gress is going to be forced to
tackle the problem and get down
to cases.
The issue is not POLITICAL one.
in any partisan sense. The idea
that came into the mind of Dr.
Townsend when he looked out of
his window few years ago and
saw a pathetic old woman search
ing in a garbage can for food
has reached gigantic proportions
and has come to bedevil and
worry Republicans as well as
Democrats. 1t is especially en-
barrassing to the Democrats
now, because they are in power.
A shift in party power would
put it up to the Republicans.
The pension leaders are defin-
itely dissatisfied with the Adj
ministration'S enacted social Sc
curity legislation. They feel that
it offers the INDECENT old a bone,
instead of a decent meal. They
are convinced that the govern
ment should and could substan-
TALLY increase the amount of pen
sions. They think that the Fed
eral government should take the
lead, and that then the states will
follow and agree to do their part
of the job.
From the standpoint of our
lawmakers, the whole thing is a
nightmare They feel that the
country could not stand increases
in benefits to anywhere near cur
rent demands. They can produce
well-known economists by the
bushel TO testify that such ideas
for financing pensions as DR..
Townsend's velocity dollar" are
unavoidable and fantastic. But
this does thep no good when
they are confronted with the
fact that the pension-advocates
represent and command millions
of votes. And that is why there

A SUGGESTION.

1t isn't too early to talk of things re-
garding the Yuletide, for along about this
month various agencies, mostly children,
let you know the number of shopping days
left! We are not trying to tell any man
or woman in Key West their business or to
suggest how they spend their money, but
if we know of way they can add to their
own happiness and state of mind by show
ing them where to spend, we are not go
ing to pass up the opportunity. In this
case we want to suggest that before you
are tempted to answer mail-order ads that
offer something attractive for Christmas,
before you drive to nearby city to buy
gifts first visit your home merchants and
see what they have to offer you and If you
can't get it in stock, let them order it for
YOU You can usually find what you want
in your own stores and you are doing your
duty as a citizen and fulfilling an obliga-
ton to your neighbor. If there is better
way of making your Christmas happier
than buying at home and giving the local
merchants the patronage and respect due
them-you name it!
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-12-08

has been SO much political pussy
footing on the subject of pensions
by candidates for office. Almost
all job-seekerS endorses in the
vaguest terms they can get away
with. the principle of adequate
and even lavish aid for the aged
needy. Most of them, once
they've successfully convinced
the voters of their worth, try to
get the whole topic as much out
of the limelight as possible.
This does not necessarily mean
such men are insincere. Some
of them strongly feel that bene-
fits must be increased, yet do
nothing about it-simply because
they haven't got the answers to
the tremendous questions, prin-
cipally financial, that arise. They
want to move-but they can't see
clear path ahead.
Still another weakness of the
pension movement is found in
internal pickering. The Town
send Plan organization, for in
stance, is split into a dozen fac
tions. Some of the early leaders
have deserted the Doctor. and
are leading opposed blocS of their
own. Furthermore, the fact that
there is competition in the field
such as the California thirty
dollars-every- Thursday proposal
(which was beaten last election,
thought the movements guberna-
torial and senatorial candidates
were electedl makes united
front impossible.
President Roosevelt has defin-
itely turned thumbs down on the
more extreme proposals, calling
them "shcrt cuts TO Utopia" and
referring to their sponsors as ''the
lunatic fringe. 1t is known that
he has instructed his Congress
sional lieutenants to do anything
they can to keep the issue on the
sidelines, as he believes that it
imperils the success of his own
more moderate program. But il
begins to look as if matters are
approaching something of crisis.
where no one can long keep the
pot from boiling over. And when
that happens, you'll see fireworks
such as you've rarely seen before.

Today's native may become too
fond of sensation and become
quite reckless in the pursuit OF
pleasure. There is indication of
some success in early life, but
the latter days seem cloudy, and
there is danger that the mind may

DECLARE WAR ON MOSQUITOES

Good news to Key Westers interested
in making this city an ideal resort and
vacation center is contained in the an
nouncement by DIR. Charles Williams, as
sistant surgeon general of the u. S. Pub
lie Health Service, that group of six fed
eral inspectors would work here the entire
winter in mosquito eradication activities.
Accompanied by DIR. G. L. Donohue,
head of the Miami Beach Quarantine Serv-
ice, DR.. Williams made his announcement
at meeting attended by City Health Of
ficer William R. Warren, Monroe County
Health Officer ]. B. Parramore and City
Sanitary Officer T. D. Harrison. The as
sistant surgeon general said the six men
Miami area where an eradication pro-
gram has been very effective in controlling
the pesky pests.
Part of the work of the federal in
spectors will be to instruct and train two
by Mayor Willard NJ Albury after ap-
proval of city council and the man to be
army barracks. Army officials have been
enrolled in the campaign against the mos
quito and their assistance promises to be
of great help in doing a good job here.
Among the details that will be ham
died by this corps of workers will be the
destruction of tin cans and other recep-
tacles in which mosquitoes breed and
which may be found strewn in almost
every vacant lot and back yard in some
sections. Cistern minnows, kerosene oil
and insecticides will be used to prevent
breeding of the mosquitoes wherever
water is collected for use within the city
limits.
Much preliminary work has been
done by the Monroe county health unit,
according to report submitted this week
by DR.. Parramore. Under WPA project
workmen have completed 1888 feet of
minor drainage bitches, put SO salt marsh
breeding spots under control, eliminated
% domestic breeding places, filled SO old
cisterns and destroyed $40 artificial con-
tainers in the last four months, in the out
lying areas.
In summary, it looks as though Key
West was finally getting some action to
rid the city of the cause of most tourist
complaints. The mosquito everywhere in
Florida is problem, but it is being so
we'll controlled elsewhere that it is no
longer pest. Some of the credit for the
decision of DR.. Williams to send six fed
eral operatives into Key West belongs to
a mosquito control committee of the South
Side Improvement association. This COM
mittee is headed by Mrs. Everett Winter,
who deserves a vote of thanks for her work
along this line. 1t is out of such public
spirited service that new, brighter and
better Key West is arising.
