HOSPITAL" SHIP WAS LOADED

The Japanese hospital ship, recently
brought into Pacific port after having
been seized for carrying contraband mu-
nitions of war, was q dirty, ill-kept vessel,
with only three doctors and ssurgissszsable
for more than 1900 patients.
Most of the patients had malaria or
beri-beri but an American medical officer
estimated that three-fourths could be re-
turned to combat after brief, fresh-air
treatment. The ship carried no battle
wounded and examination revealed only a
few men suffering from non-incapacitating
ulcers.
The ship had been observed operat-
ing in the Indies area. Overhauled by
two destroyers, the vessel stopped upon
a flag singal and was boarded by four
American officers, accompanied by three
interpreters. All were unarmed and, be-
cause of uncertainty as to what the Japs
might do, had written final letters to their
families, to be mailed in case the Japan
csc killed them.
After about an hours inspection, "a
box was opened and found to contain So
nm. shells. 1t had the Red Cross painted
on the outside. This was all the evidence
needed and Immediately signal was
flashed to the destroyers, which sent armed
members of prize crew aboard to seize
the vessel.
Contraband was uncovered nearly
everywhere and while the search was not
completed when the ship locked, it was
carrying rifles, machine-guns, grenades,
mortar parts and artillery ammunition. At
least one box of grenades bore German
labels.

is COAL SHORTAGE MILITARY
NECESSITY?

- Secretary of the Interior Ickes has
: annealed to the Army to release 10000
miners to increase our output of coal, and
thus provide for at least the minimum needs
here at home He estimates that there
are 10000 miners in the armed forces
and says:
81 want the American people to know
that this decision involves the risk that we
may have to suffer a shortage OF coal III
this country next winter, which will be
more acute than heretofore predicted, and
substantially greater than that which we
experienced last winter. We may have
10. curtail industrial supplies to the point
which will mean partial or complete shut
down for domestic consumption. Shipments
to Europe should prevent disorders which
woul dcost American lives, and they should
enable the European countries to resume
the production of fuel, textiles and other
materials which we would otherwise have
t..to supply to Europe frpm eur own depleted
stocks.
81 know of only one sure way to avoid,
at-the same time, disaster in Europe and
further distress at home. This is to in
crease production and to increase produc-
ton we must have coal miners. There is
only one source of additional miners, and
that is the Army
1t will be hard for the American peo-
pie to understand any arbitrary refusal to
release the necessary coal miners from the
Army now that the war is over. The well
fare of our soldiers and their families de-
ponds upon an abundant supply of coal.

DIsRUPTING HURRICANES


Twenty years or SO ago, the Late Sena-
tor Fletcher, after explaining that he spoke
solely in the realm of possibility, advanced
the theory that the shooting of cannon into
the vortex of hurricane may, with the
resultant explosion of the shell, disrupt the
vortex, which would mean that the cyclonic
winds would cease.
As most of us are aware, the strength
of hurricane lies in the vortex, q calm
around hich winds Of terrific force revolve.
Without vortex, there can not be cyclonic
movement, and without that movement
there can not be a hurricane, or cyclone, as
it is properly called. @
We doubt that, if Senator Fletcher's
theory would have been put to test, it
would have proved successful, unless num-
erous shells were used in the experiment.
Probably, better way, as has been sug-
gested, would be to explode an atomic
bomb in a vortex in an attempt to disrupt
it.
What the result of the explosion of an
atomic bomb in the center of hurricane
would be nobody knows. A man who is
familiar with hurricanes told The Citizen
that the explosion possibly would increase
the force of the winds, though, he added,
nobody would know the outcome until the
experiment is made.
We know that a hurricane feeds on
heat, and the greater the heat the heavier
the winds. We know too that the atomic
bomb when exploded releases heat that
can be felt for several miles, and who can
tellthat that heat may whip up the eyclonic
movement to degree that has not been
experienced even in the most violent hur-
ricanes
One sure way of breaking up hurri-
cane would be to release tremendous vol
umes of cold air in its center. Many hur-
ricane, headed toward Key West, has been
pocketed in wall of high pressure that re-
suited from cold weather.
Last October's hurricane, at first, was
headed directly toward Key West, but
norther that swept down over the Florida
Keys and then continued over the sea till
it reached the hurricane, held it up fer
two days. During that period, the hurri-
cane drifted toward the west, trying to find
an opening in the wall of high pressure,
which ceased when the wind coming
down the keys veered to the northeast or
northeast by east.
BY that time, however, the center of
the hurricane had drifted to point 40
miles west of Key West, and when the
storm resumed it's northward movement, it
remained true to it's course and the center
passed this city 40 miles to the west. Those
two days of cool weather is what stopped
the center from passing over Key West.

ABOUT cITY'S SANITARY
DEPARTMENT

Editor, The Citizen: -~--,
The article by B. E. F. on the
2lst, concerning the rundown
condition of the City Health De-
partment, has only scratched the
surface.
In that article. Mr.. Gibson in
formed B. E. F. that he had nc
assistant. If this statement be
true, then Mr.. Gibson is in error
as Mr.. Delgado is the assistant
inspector. In any event, he is
paid $l,452 year by the city to
perform that service.
Let's break down the complete
department into dollars and cents
then the taxpayers can see what
they are getting for their money
To begin with, DR.. Harry Galley
is the chief health officer. He
receives $1,650 a year for the job,
but cannot carry out the duties.
Not that he is not capable, be-
cause he IS an excellent doctor,
but his practice is SO great, he
has no time for it. !
Next we have MIR. Gibson draw
ing 1850 year as inspector, and
Mr. Delgado drawing $1,452 as
assistant inspector. Last, but not
least, we have that sturdy scav-
enger vessel, "Greyhound', that
has not made trip since the hur-
ricane of October, 1914, which de-
stroyed the city dock. Yet the
captain and engineer have been
receiving monthly checks right
along. The captain receives $3.50
a year and the engineer gets $3.50
a year. Maintenance of the
Greyhound has cost the city
81 ,l46, and has not made trip
since last October.
This department gives the tax
payers total expense of S7,518
year. Is is worth it?
This proves that the heads of
our city government have been
asleep at the switch. l am almost
sure if a city body had approach
ed Mrs. Curry of VIM. Curry
Sons, she would have rented the
city a portion of her waterfront
property to be used in loading
the scavenger boat. I have al
ways found Mrs. Curry to be UNI
derstanding, fair, and generous,
and / know she is civic-minded
enough to help her city.
But the general idea, or one
way thinking, was, mo dock, no
dumping, and the citizens were
given the privilege of having an
epidemic.
Nowadays, when someone re-
marks, I'VE don't need a city
manager, I stop and look at them
closely. I watch their eyes to
