President Vargas
OF Brazil Senses
Direction of Wind

I'll noiselessly into a dictatorship in
1887. Currently his swing on sterile
democracy" and his Endorsement of
European relationships as vigorous
peoples fit for life" is big news in
the western world, heeling quickly,
as it does, the Italian aggression.
There are 400, 900 Germans in Brazil
who have indicated similar views
about sterile democracy"
President Vargas has seemed
much more able and plausible
than most dictators. He isn't
given to casual shooting or hang
ing and he says very little and
this in a low voice, never in a
sports palaSt or on a balcony.
He built his 1880 campaign on
bare-knuckle fight against the
"plutocratic coffee barons" of
the Sac Paulo. He was badly
defeated. He didn't yell, 1--WE

cred a few of his old gxucho

NEW YORK.-Dr. Frank Kingdom
l y resigned as president of the

cause of American unity against
Freedom Still various open
Embodies Our disruptive
Hope and Faith forces. Ger
tain industri-
alists have become dollar-a-year
men for military rearmament. DR..
Kingdom is perhaps the first man to
give up his job to work for intellec-
tual rearmment. With others, he
built the Citizenship Educational
Service to advance tolerance, CO.
operation and all-around American
solidarity. Theodore Roosevelt il
its chairman and DR.. Kingdom Is
educational director.
American Unity" was the subject
of DR.. Kingdoms address before the
Institute of Public Affairs at Char
lottesville, Va, recently. A few days
ago, this writer happened to be pres
ent when DR.. Kingdom was convers-
ing with New York citizen of dis
tinction and influence who main
tanned that democracy was both de-
cadent and impotent. In his Char
lottesville address, DR.. Kingdom
said:
1.-THE other day, I was arguing
with sef-confessed Fascist. I
happened to use the word free
dom. He Immediately scoffed,
saying, Freedom for what?
Freedom to be unemployed?
Freedom to starve?' He knew
that the word was one of the
signal words of human history.
He could not meet it squarely.
So he tried to tie it up with all
kinds of other words having un-
pleasant definitions in order to
destroy its own appeal by trans
ferring to it their dismay. His
was a deliberate effort to empty
of meaning a word that is
packed with hope and faith. His
performance was typical Of the
planned and concerted attempt
to destroy the foundations of our
thought SO that we shall crumble
before a vigorous onslaught
from the cause with which he
has allied himself"
In the above address DR.. King
don assays such words as Christi
anity, freedom, religion, propagan-
da, isolation, in the interest of toll
erance and unity. Such is one Of
the unique endeavors of the Citizen
ship Educational Service.
DR.. Kingdom, tall, urbane school
man and cleric, was born in London
and came to this country in 1912,
at the age of II. He was educated
at University College school, Lon
don, and Boston university.

rates as hitherto. might also men
ton that there will be $4,000 to
$4,000 additional insurance for
fire and collision necessary on each
bus should the district own the
buses. 49,
A while back I talked to an Off
cial of the State Highway Patrol
and he told me there were no BUSES
condemned and that under the cir
cumStances as I explained them to
him, he saw no reason why the
buses we have should not be used.
Here are the facts given to him: We
have an enviable record for safety
of child transportation in this dis
trict and the conditions under which
we have made. this have changed
very little for a number of years.
None of the privately BUSES
come in contact with through traf-
fic on arterial highways. The
busses have additional safety de-
vices on them; the public is more
safety minded, the BUSES are equip
ped with better tires and better
brakes. In view of this situation
see ITO TcdSOll WHY tllC ~ CoSAAO OC&@SSo
cannot be used for a number OF
years.
If the district buys the BUSES
something would have to be done
for storage facilities. Mr.. Black has
suggested to me a number of times
that the Washington Street school
building could be remodeled for that
purpose at cost of $4,000 to SIS
600. If we must have the BUSES this
looks like the logical thing to do,
but why not add that to the bond
issue in question instead of going
to the expense of another election?
But these two sums added to the
SIG, 900 now outstanding against the
district will make quite total.
Ralph, let's vote down this bond
issue and ask the director to recon-
slider the purchase of six BUSES. It
it is still thought necessary to re-
place one or two of the present
buses, let's buy them on rental
basis and acquire complete fleet
as we are able to pay for it.
Sincerely yours. ,

K.H.S. Track Team Wins
in7 LIST Place Events

Taking seven first places in the
sub-district which is held in
Yakima this Saturday with all
schools in the Yakima valley par
ticipating. Kennewick boys took
more first places than all the 9TH
er schools combined, but were I'M
able to pick enough ends, 3rds and
4ths to win the meet. Bill Helm, who
would have undoubtedly won first
place in the high hurdles, was dis
qualified by the starter and was I'M
able to run in that event which
would mean the sub-diStrict title for
the tract team. However, dis
trict ruling by the Yakima Athletic
Board will undoubtedly give him a
chance to compete for state honors
in this event. Boys who win first
place at Yakima will be eligible to
take part in the state track meet at
WS.C. on Saturday, May Is. The
sum of the meet follows:
Toppenish-56 points
Kennewick-521a points.
Wapato-31k points.
Pasco-13 points.
The ribbons won by the local
team are on display in the Courier

TO THE EDITOR:

school election, that I had some
suggestions on the school transpor-

on the discussion, was not given
the opportunity to do so. later re-

and you told me that you had the
assurance of two directors that
everybody would have an opportun-

for the next thing knew you came
out with a notice that the regis

that bond election was to be held
two weeks later for the purpose of
raising money to buy new BUSES.
I understand a few persons did
get together at invitation of Mr.

as was not invited, I suppose I
missed the bus. H owever, as I eX-

First Of all, let's get rid of two
of the DOGGY men which are being
used as arguments for immediate
purchase of new BUSES.
Most people have the impression
that the State Highway Patrol has
condemned the BUSES now in use,
and that the insurance companies
have refused to write insurance on
them for that reason. First, the

agent have assured me that there
are several companies anxious to
write the insurance on the BUSES as
