Sam Gates of the CAB not only urged that the present mail sub- sides be canceled, but demanded that Pan American be made. to re- fund the amounts paid it by the Government during the past three years.
 'The rates of compensation now being received by Pan American Airways, Inc.." Gates proclaimed, are excessive and are neither fair nor reasonable"
 He made this statement after re- turning from a complete tour of Latin America, flying over most of the Pan American Airways routes, where he found that Pan Am did not have a single hard- surfaced runway nor radio range station in Brazil.
 Raising the question of Pan Am erican's managerial efficiency Gates reported that much of the operation" in Latin America "is no more difficult than the con. , duct of an airline operation across the United States" Nevertheless, he reported, Pan Am was receiving rom the Government six times as much as the average domestic air. line.
 Because of this subsidy, Gate. reported, Pan Am had made a to- Dal profit of $16,OO0,O0O on an in- vestment of only $1O,O0O, 900.
 TO put it another way" Gates said, the carrier has made prof. it's during this l2-year period equal oo the total capital employed, plus an overall profit of 60 percent"
 FDR FAVORS COMPETITION
 Over this l2-year period, Pan American has received a total Cf some $73,OO0,O00 from the Govern ment. Part of this was used for pioneering new lines across the Pacific and Atlantic, for which the Civil Aeronautics Board gives it credit. However, Pan American is now asking a subsidy of $S,1sO,0oO on its Latin American routes next year, instead of the $6,OOoOOO paid It this year, and this is the ques- ton to be determined in the pres ent rate hearings.
 simultaneously, Pan Am is viz orously opposing half-million dol- lar appropriation to American Ex- port Lines to launch a competing line across the Atlantic, and this question is now before the Senate Appropriations Committee.
 The White House has taken the stand that competition across the Atlantic is healthy, and favors a rival line.
 In contrast, it is interesting to note that Pan Am built up its system in Latin America during the Hoover Administration, when

Miss Collins was formerly a

HASTE MAKES WASTE

Not long ago the Government
advertised for over 1000 carpen-
tiers to erect military camp in
New Jersey. Needless to say the
jobs were quickly filled, but as
was later found, not by carpent-
ers. Out of the hundreds hired
it was found that but slightly
over two hundred were real
honest to goodness carpenters.
The inference was the rest,
hearing of the jobs, grabbed the
family Ratchet and tin saw and
got into Line.

Nj O ON
over
Mcdowell
s. B. Moon, Jr.-

Every now and anon the white
press takes cognizance of the
extraordinary prevalence of
crime in this county and carries
on a short and usually effective
crusade against it. The fourth
estate on such occasions cries
for the blood of the murder, The
Imprisonment of the thief and
the determination of crime in
general. But we have noticed
that as long as the Negroes are
holding their private and segre-
gated knifings, shootingS, and
killings, the white press takes
no notice other than to chronicle
the time and place that Merge
knitted Negro. They may think
that a good way to solve the
race problem, for at the present
rate of killing the Negro will
have eXterminated himself a
few years hence.
Probably too the white press
does not want to incur the enc
nifty and wrath of the so-called
Negro leaders. For they Know
that if a good sensible editorial
were to be printed criticizinc
the members of the group whose
conduct is endangering the
peace and order of the whole
community, then self appointed
leaders of black Mcdowell would
hurl invective at what thew
would call the enemies of the
hundred forty-one and in the
sevety-eighth year of the State.

race. Negro leaders would cry
out: why single us out for criti-
cism? Is it not true that white
people are committing crimes
too? - While these questions
would sound reasonable, they are
easily answered. First, Negroes
VIII not believe a thing refers to
them unless the word "colored"
appears somewhere. Second.
during the last few weeks Ne
groes have averaged one shoot
ing, stabbing, knitting, slicing or
one fight per day with most of
them ending in fatality.
This alarming crime rate must
be lessened, and the citizenry of
this county must become suffi-
GENTLY aroused to demand ac-
tlon from the law enforcement
and judicial authorities to bring
to a speedy end this popular
practice of carrying individual
law on hips and in pockets.
