Pelican Bill Against
Miami's As Degrees
By CORAL ROcKETEER

Look at Harold Heron sitting
there shaking, he's a skinny one, "
the venerable and pounchy Bill
Pelican remarked in commenting
on today's weather as Gertie the
Gull lowered overhead shrieking
at the remark.
Sure, sure it's cool today but
not as bad as l expected after
all the news about ice and snow
blanketing the New England
states" Bill said. And even Mi
ami got pretty cold last night.
Their low was 48, brrrrr, while
our lowest was 81,
"Why Atlanta had a low Of
only 30 last night, Boston %, Chi
cago "a, Detroit &c, New York
90 and New Orleans 43," Bill said
and concluded, mo Sireeeee, l
wouldn't live in Miami for any
thing like some of my snooty
pelican cousins do"

Washington, D. C.-Although

not yet made up their minds as
to what disposal should be made
Of the atomic bomb, there is a
general feeling of relief here over
the decision of President Truman
and Prime Minister Attlee to
withhold, for the time being,
secret information about atomic
energy.
AS for the bomb itself, it is the
feeling of many that there is no
logical reason for ever releasing
the information. For, if it is a
greed that the atomic bomb
should never be used for warfare,
what good reason would another
nation have for wanting to know
how to manufacture it?
Aside from possible war use,
other nations of course want in
formation on the practical ap-
plication of atomic energy in
order that they may develop it
for industrial uses. The heads of

proposed plan is to guarantee

Under this plan a man could build

ing toward the back of the cafe to
get some water that the officer
walked up to him, grabbed him
and said, "You are trying to be a
wise, smart guy, aren't your" That
then Officer Looney started hit
ting him with his hand; that Off
Ger Looney ignored his protests:
that Officer Looney hit him three
more times and pulled him to the
front of the cafe. The officer took
him to the police car and said,
why don't you try to fight me
back?"; that Rhedrick asked the
driver of the police car not to let
Officer Looney hit him like that
because he had not done anything.
That when Officer Looney reached
the Jail he made him march in like
a soldier, and the officer went up
stairs to the jailor and said, He
is smart guy who has been over
seas" and the officer hit him one
or two times there at the Jail.
Exhibit TX" submitted by the
City to the Civil Service Commits
sion is signed written statement
by Hilda Lucas, who said that Of
ficer Looney didn't make any "out
of the way remarks" to her and she
didn't think he had been drinking.
THE foregoing, in my opinion,
definitely constitute written charges
and written complaint fully suffi-
cient to meet the written complaint
requirements of the Civil Service
Act and particularly the require
ments of Section 9 thereof. This
section of the Civil Service Act,
in my opinion contemplates that
upon the RECEIPT of such written
charge that the Commission will
give notice to the person charged
and conduct a hearing to deter
mine the truth or falsity of such
| charges. This section of the Act
grants to the Civil Service Com
mission the right to conduct such
hearings and to compel the at
tendance of witnesses and the right
to require the production of books,
papers and records which may be
relevant 20 such investigation.
This section also authorizes the
Chief of Police Department to sus.
pend a member of the department,
if such member commits any fla.

sion.
Answering question No. 2 SIS the
City required to reinstate Officer
Locney as of March 3, 1945, the date
OF his suspension by the Chief Of
Police: My answer to this question
is "No". 1t is my opinion, under the
present state Of facts, that the
thirty day suspension from March
3rd is to run until that period has
expired and then the pay Of Off
Ger Looney would not start until
the terms of this thirty day sus-
pension have been complied with.
AS to the question No. 8, What
is the City now required to do with
respect to Officer Looney?", it is
my opinion that under the present
situation the City is not required to
do any active thing, for that the

Easter Meditation
BY Chaplain Frank
M. Thompson

Thirteen hundred years ago, at
the court of King Edward in
Northumbria, in great assem-
bly, hall whose waited walls were
lit by flaming torches, an eager
body of listeners heard the first
message of Christianity delivered
in Britain. 1t was followed with
much discussion, in the midst of
which an old warrior stood forth
and cried out, Can this new re-
ligion tell us what happens after
death? Man is as a swallow fly
ing through this lighted hall. He
enters from the dark, he goes out
into the dark. What comes to a
man in the dark, dina unknown?"
That has ever been the question.
A thousand years before per-
picked voice out Of the Old Tes-
lament put it this way. "If a man
die shall he live again?" And
hundreds of years before Job, and
all down the ages the question
has been sounding in the hearts
of men.
Well Easter Sunday answers
the question. The answer NAV
not satisfy, but it's the best we
can give.
AS matter of fact, the belief
OF life after death is a matter of
faith. You cannot prove it any
more than you can prove that
the sun will rise on the morrow.
Some things must be taken for
granted. So with the doctrine of
Immortality. 1t is a conviction,
way of life. Browning clarifies
our meaning in his courageous
lines:
II 60 to prove my soul.
see my way as birds their
trackless way g..

circuit first,
I ask not; but unless God sends

Or binding fireballs, sleet or
sitting snow,
In some time, His good time,
shall arrive
