!. NAZI MYSTERY MAN

AP Features
Into the murky picture of Ger
many now steps a genuine mys-
terry man-General Kurt Zeitz-
Ter, comparative unknown, new
army chief of staff.
Unlisted in any standard Ger
man reference book, Zeitzler is
AZ, stockv, a personal friend of
dreaded Gestapo chief Heinrich
Himmler. He was born in
Luckau, volunteered in World
War and served as lieutenant,
entered this war as a colonel
and was appointed chief of staff
of Field Marshal Ewald Won
Kleist's first panzer army. He
became a major general early
this wear, and-as Hitler discard
ed older chieftains-moved up to
lieutenant general, then full gen.
eral..
Zeitzler is said to have pre-
pared plans for the Nazi drive
into the Caucasus, now stalled at
Mozdok. Recently he was at
tacheds.to Hitler's headquarters,
representing his buddy Himmler
Why Zeitzler was given his
new, important job is specula-
tive. But three reasons, none
military. are said to be behind
it: Heeis a Ga man to Der
Fuehrer; a fervent Nazi; unlink-
ed to the Junkers repeatedly
feuding with Hitler.

; agreement with the themyea and
objects as discussed in Vests let
ter, Trevler questions the posi-
bility of arranging a preliminary
caucus due to the attendant travel
and expense which would fall on
individual members.
Doubtless" he states, there
would be some members who
would not be able to attend such
a caucus, and l feel that their
rights to some extent would be
prejudiced thereby. Why not
promulgate rule, upon conven-
ing of the legislature, that no bills
could be introduced after a lapse
of "a days from the date of con-
vening? This procedure would
obviate the necessity of a prelim-
mary caucus, and still would per-
NIT ample time for the introduce
ton of bills with as much time as
needed for debate. Also it would
be possible to wind up the session
in shorter time than it has here
tofore required.
Trexler said that his suggestion
was made in view of the present
restrictions on travel facilities and
was in no wise intended to OBJ
struct the very good suggestion of
Mr.. West"
Speaker Designate Simpson has
given ample evidence of his sim
cere desire to effect every pos
sible economy during the coming
session and it is gratifying to find
individual members of the House
concerning themselves in the
same direction. The suggestions
advanced by both West and TroX-
Ter deserve careful consideration,
not only from legislative men,
berS but from citiZesn and taX.Jay-
ers as well.
Anyone familiar with legisla-
tive sessions knows that there is
plenty of room for Improvement
both from the standpoint of time
saving and economy of operation.
the people really want such action
and make their wants known to
their representatives, they will
get them. But if they remain in
different and fail to give evidence
of their. interest, in all probabili-
ty the coming session will follow
the pattern ofrthose which have
preceded it, despite the sincere
efforts of a few legislators to
bring about change.
What the coming legislature
does and what it costs is as much
your problem and mine as it is the
problem of those we have select
ed to represent us. The time to
think about it is now. Talk it
over with your senator and rep
resentative, get their reaction, and
at the same time make your wish
eS known.

SINCERITY COUNTS

Editor, The Citizen:
Is man a'sbetter man.. inside.
because successful in money mat
tiers? e=ssia1sAL' ~ 2
Thanks to two world wars we
know full well he is hardly more
steadfast than his less nimble
witted fellows.
Is man a better man in his
heart because he stands up to
pulpit and has learned enough
mass psychology to lead a flock
of people who are willing to ac-
cept him as a teacher because of
his attractions?
We know that the word "rac-
ket" applies to many such min
istries. They are concerned with
account books and balances more
than with souls and saving" for
Christ.
One of the uses of war has
been to debunk for all time the
idea that education makes for
moral principles, that an elected
popular representative must be
a moral man, a sincere man. 1t
is a good thing to know that the
more a man stores away in his
head, the emptier his heart may
be.
While the plain man may have
more of the stature of 4 true
man, inside, than the great out
ward wizards of politics, church,
and the markets. Let us not for
get it.
Truly,

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

The thought advanced some
time ago that it might be pos
sible to hold the coming legisla-
tive session to 30 days, while re-
-ceiving general approval from
public and press, failed to gain
momentum or arouse any en-
thusiaSm when the legislative
group gathered for Homecoming
in Gainesville.
It appears, however, that the
issue. is far from dead and that
certain members of the legisla-
ture are sincere in their desire
to effect every possible econo-
my. In recent letter to Speak
er Designate Richard H. Simp-
son, T. Franklin West, represen-
tatiye from Santa Rosa county,
points -out that the situation re-
SPonsible for waste of time is the
enormous amount of political
trading and maneuvering result
ing from the efforts of individuals
TO shove bills or complete pro-
grams 1861
= State City and County officials
and various groups of citizens,
concerned with their own special
interests, are largely responsible.
One of the faVOrite practices, West
contends, particularly in connec-
ton with bills of vital Importance
and Which are apt to have active
opposition, has been to withhold
the bill or legislative action on it
until toward the end of the SeS-
sion and then attempt to shove it
through at a time when members
are overworked, confused or dis
guSted, with the result that the
most important matters of the
session are not given proper or
careful consideration.
To obviate this situation, West
suggests a converting of the House
and Senate in informal caucus 80
or 60 days prior to the session, at
which all groups and individuals
interested in legislation be urged
to submit their bills through their
Senators or Representatives, typed
and in complete form; that a COM
nittee be delegated to mime
ograph all bills and submit copies
to all members, the press and in
terested citizens for study; then
set up stringent rules against the
introduction of bills other than
those so submitted and prohibit
introduction of any new bills
after the end of the second week
of the session except by unani-
NOUS consent. -.str
: West expresses the belief that
if this suggestion is carried out II
would be possible for the legis-
lature to complete its work in 81
DAYS and at the same time insure
all important measures being
given the proper consideration
both by the legislature and the
public.
Lanas Trexler, representative
from Marion county, followed
West, with an alternate plan, re-
vealed in a letter to Speaker
Designate Simpson last week.
