Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Our Two Jobs in One

Through the Boy Scouts Of
America and score of other great
organizations affiliated with tbs
committee, these pledges are being
distributed.
1t is good to sign and display
pledges like this, but it is even
better to think them through to
burn them into our hearts, and to
act upon them.
No effort should be spared to
train and equip the best defensive
forces we can muster. But it is not
alone by tanks and planes that
democracy is defended, but by the
heat of the fire of freedom that
burns in the heart of every citizen
of a free land

MR BURR WRITES OF
DEpORTING HARRY BRIDGES
EDITOR, THE PRESS:

have Just read your editorial on the
Izac vote in the mater OF the Bridges
Deportation Bill. 7 le statement you
make to the effect that lzac was one of
40 who voted against the bill, while 329
voted for it has been repeated so many
times in print, that | am going to ask
few questions,
First however | want to state that
believe Harry Bridges should have been
kicked out of the United States long ago.
This is not in defense of Bridges But
please give consideration to the follow
ing:
1st If the majority vote of the House
was right, why has the United States
Senate re f u d to even consider the
Bridges Deortation Bill?
End In your opinion is deportation
legislation, which applies to but one per-
son, and names tnat person, legislation
of which you approve?
recognized legal standing that has eX-
pressed an opinion that such deportation
legislation could, or should, be upheld
by our courts?
4th. With our existing Federal Sta
tutes under which Bridges can be prose
cuted, why was the Bridges matter pass
ed on to the Department of Labor, and
then to Congress?
5th. Have you read lzac's explanation
of his vote? And why do not his oppo-
nents publish that explanation, and then
show wherin Izac's reasons and logic is
wrong?
LESLIE BURR
Editors Note: The editorial to
which Mr. Burr refers was not ours,
but one reprinted from the San Diego
Union. We, however, heartily concur
in its text. In answer to Mr.. Burr's
questions:
1.-The Senate has not considered
the Bridges deportation bill because
it is tied up in an administratlon-con
trolled committee which will not vote
it out.
2.-In a case of national welfare
we have no objection to legislation
which names names, whether it is
deportation legislation or not
3.-Attorneys of recognized stand
ing helped draw the deportation bill.
4.-We wish we knew The Depart
ment of Labor has refused to prose-
cute.
5-Izac said he was one of "a few
strong men, who voted against the
eport tat on bill, indicating his
strength of character was above that
of other representatives when he vOt-
ed for what he believed to be Ameri-
can principles. If you accept Izac's
view, his logic is right. We do not ac-
cept his view, hence cannot accept his
logic.

CZECHS PREFER
PAYROLL REPORT
One of the Social Security
Boards experts reports that in
CzechoSlovakia the social insurance
records of domestics are kept much
as the records of office clerks and
industrial workers are kept in the
United States. Czech officials like
the payroll report better than the
stamp plan.
Extension of old age insurance
benefits to domestics and farm
laborers has been opposed in Con-
gresS before on the grounds that
the turnover is great, employment
irregular, and the proportion of
employers to the employe such that
it would be impossible to keep the
record straight.
Advocates of the bill say the
Social Security Board is well Or
ganized now, and could take this
Job in its stride.

LADIES'
Under separate cover am sending
you. with my compliments, a beau
tiful picture of General Robert E.
Lee, for your chapter.
L got the Saturday Evening Post to
make these pictures for me, and paid
for them myself, because I wanted
a few of my special friends and for
schools in my district, and for the
U. D. c.
i have autographed this picture,
but my signature is so small that il
will not show at any distance, and
therefore will not mar it's beauty
This is a splendid likeness of the
great Southern commander, whom the
world recognizes today as the great
est military leader of the English
speaking race, who led our South
ern Armies in the gigantic struggle
not to perpetuate slavery, as some
people would have you believe, but
to maintain justice for the people OF
the South, and to guarantee that the
white mans civilization would not
perish from Southern soil.
GOD BLESS THEM! They were
the greatest soldiers in times of war
and the greatest citizens in times of
peace this world has ever seen.
In remembrance of them, hope you
will have it framed and hung where
you, your children, and their chill
dren can see it throughout the COM
ing years.
Sincerely your friend,
j. E. RANKIN,
The picture, when framed, will be
presented to Holmes County Library.
