WHY THE CONSTITUTION?

Something over eight months ago, a
Niemoeller, an outstanding anti-Nazi Prot
estant pastor, was arrested in Berlin \ be-
cause of his outspoken opposition to the
dictatorship of Adolph Hitler.
Later he was found guilty of the
crime" of having discussed and criticized
government measures from the pulpit He
was sentenced to seven months in prison
and substantial fine. Because he had
been in prison for a longer period awaiting
trial than that to which he was sentenced,
he was set free. But-he was Immediately
arrested by Secret Foice and without trial
was sent to prison concentration camp.
All too often we take our own Con-
stitutiOn and the rights it gives us too
lightly.
In contrast to Germany, the Reverend
Niemoeller under the protection of the
American Constitution would in the first
place never have been arrested for CRITICS.
ing the government or its acts; he would
not have been held for eight months await
ing trial and theIt upon his release could
rot be arrested and sent away to a prison
camp without trial~All because such
things are forbidden by our Constitution.
Truly, we take too lightly this docu-
ment which guards our every right as
Americans.

If Congress has any regard for its
duty to the public, it will carry on a full,
impartial and exhaustive investigation of
the TVA-and do it quickly The dis
charge of Twas chairman has made bad
matter worse, and has answered none of
the immensely important questions that
have been raised concerning IVA acts and
policies.
! The IVA Situation is grave scandal.
IVA directors have been making charges
and counter-charges. The IVA board has
been hopelessly split by differences of
opinion3and by personal enmity and bitter
ness. Observers claim that the IVA has
pursued extremely high-pressure policies
in trying to force individuals in its area to
buy power appliances; that it is shot
through with waste and inefficiency, and
that it so camouflages its reports that no
one can tell what is going on. And this is
the Authority that is costing the taxpayers
hundreds of millions-and that was sup
posed to make a heaven on earth out of the
Southeast
Anyone can imagine what would have
happened had private power company
gotten itself into this kind of mess. Con-
ugressmen would have beaten their breasts
in righteous anger resolution for an in
vestigation would have been rushed
through in record time, and the politicians
would have had a field day. In the IVA
case, most effort seems to be given toward
trying to "quiet things down." and passing
the buck.
Well, the IVA row won't quiet down.
Too much has been alleged-there have
been too many conflicting charges. If the
IVA is wasteful and corrupt, the public
is entitled to know it. If it has been well
managed and efficient, that should be
proven.
The American people want fair and
honest investigation of the TVA-and
they want it now

Stop Ne II Yo,,u.Ye, Heard

Suffering pain, local resident
was given medicine and told to
take it in water. AS ne was
fisherman, what occupation could
be more convenient! On his fish
ing trip next day he headed for a
white hole" or bank, jumped
over and took the prescribed
amount of healing water. Did
he get better? 1t is not known.
The same resident, on another
occasion, was told by his doctor
to take the medicine, which the
physician had prescribed, on one
night, skip the second. take it on
the third, skip the fourth, etc.
Needing the doctors advice, our
Joke butter'D one who is always
the butt of a joke, drank his
dose. Next day he went to a
hardware store. That night many
residents were wondering why
our local fisherman was skipping
rope at his age.

And This One

In, the, good (?) old days when
the railroad was still operating
to Key West, a native had an OPP
portunity TO demonstrate what he
knew about raising chickens. 1t
happened this way
Shortly after arriving here by
train and giving the town a quick
"once-over" a visitor remarked
20 a Key Wester that his would
be an ideal place to raise poultry.
Nope, said the native. "As
fast as you put 'em in the ground
the chickens scratch 'em up.

Keep In Step

UnqueStionably Key West is
going forward. There are evil
dences on every hand to prove
this point. Eyesore spots in all
sections of the city have been
torn down. Vacant lots that re-
sembled miniature forests have
been cleared away. Old homes
have been remodelled and re-
painted. New homes and bust
ness structures are going up.
Yes, there is no doubt that the
Old Rock is forging ahead.
Yet-there is one element that
is "out of step" with the majority.
And that is-our waterfront Ex-
cept for South Beach and a few
other places, unsightly scenes
greet those entering our city by
water.
Especially is this true at Ger
tain sections on the northwest
waterfront. Rickety and rotten
docks, ugly buildings, wrecks,
piles of debris, etc, are very
much in evidence.
1t is the sincere hope of many
ardent local boosters that in the
near future a movement among
the property owners there will
be started TO correct this great
fault 1t is more urgent when we
realize that in this section count
less visitors make it one of their
stops on their sightseeing tour Of
the city to prove our statements
that this is a 'Fisherman's Para
disc. Here most fishing boats
dock and here is where the fish
are kept alive. which draws the
visitors.
