FLANK ATTACK

The House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities, sired by Representative John
+. Rankin of Mississippi and dominated by
him, has carried out an indirect. but very
effective attack against eight radio COM
mentatorS. The committee accused the
men OF nothing. 1t simply requested that
the radio stations and networks which en-
ploy them furnish the manuscripts these
men used for their brOadcasts over a two
month period. That and nothing more
except that the names of the men were
printed instfe press as persons under in
vestig3tioF BY a Congressional group con-
cerned with s''Un-American" activities.
We submit that that action is of deep
concern to all of us in the United States.
Two of the commentators have already
been taken off the air. a third remains only
because he refused to accept his sponsors
offer to be released" from his contract;
whether the sponsors of the five others
contemplate polite releases when their
contracts expire, is something of which. of
course. they would not speak now. The
fact IS that every radio commentator in
the country has been given notice: he has
received unspOken, indirect. but unmistak-
able warning that mere announcement of
an interest in his commentaries by the
Rankin committee could cause him to lose
his sponsor, lose his job, be cut off the air.
be denied his Constitutional guarantee of
freedom of expression. That is why. aside
from the natural sympathy all Americans
have for any man prosecuted by unfair
methods, we. are concerned. ,'.'- ~.
?" Freedom of expression is one of the
sacred things for which Mrs. Browns boy
lost his life on the Rhine and Mrs. Jones
husband lost leg at Okinawa We don't
think that the survivors of the one of the
family of the second should be denied any
OF the freedoms that cost so dearly. And
we want those freedoms for ourselves too.
We recommend that Mr.. Rankin and his
colleagues in Congress take care not to at
tempt to deprive US of them without the
process of law.

BIBLE READING

Have you kept up with the World
Wide Bible Reading plan which started on
Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christ
mas. with special emphasis on tomorrow,
termed Universal Bible Sunday?
The emphasis upon Bible reading IS
sponsored by the American Bible Society
and has been approved by the governors
of thirty states. 1t will also be observed
in a number of foreign countries.
There is much to be said EOr the 6ys5
tematic study of the Bible. Il should not
be necessary to stage campaign to per-
suade people to read the Holy Book but If
a campaign will be the means of interesting
some persons to begin the regular study
of the Bible it will be a means of much
good.
The universal appeal of the Bible is
that it contains a spiritual message for
every individual. Not everybody will agree
in interpreting the words of the great book
but this is inevitable in an imperfect world.
Even differences of opinion. if they are sin
cerely held, should be no occasion for argu-
ment. Neither light nor inspiration is on
per capita basis.

he would be opposed for something he did

And what is true of politics is also
true of war. While the war was in prog
Tess, Americans denounced the Axis lead
ersl'speatedly. declaring that they should
be punished to the limit when the Allies
won. 80.
But, with the war still fresh in the
memories of Americans, particularly those
who lost sons in the conflict, interest, long
since, has been waning about the punish
ment that should be given the warlords in
Germany and Japan who were responsible
for the global conflict.
In some parts of the country, Ameri-
can groups are active in proposing minor
punishment of the men who plunged the
world into the bloodiest war in history

anybody express the least sympathy for

". B, KIRKE REVIEWS POSSIBLE
BEACH LOCATIONS FOR CITY

Following is a discussion on
possible sites for the City Beach
as delivered by Wallace Kirke 10
Town Hail meeting IN city hall
this summer:
Let US examine the beach areas
which are at present used for
bathing by the public. These
waterfront areas are the follow
ing: Rest Beach from White.
Street to Bertha Street, Souta
Beach from the west facing OF
Duval street to the east facing Of
Smonton street, North Boulevard.
Pool, Poinciana Lake. =
The North Boulevard pool and
Poinciana Lake cannot be direct
" compared with the. three hca-,
tons first listed above as the Hat
cter are artficiaYy develqfed
areas characterized bv rock b1tz
talns. Although eboGlRare soHe--
what shallow for adedtAte diHrg
conditions, they are disable bah
ing areas and subject TO furher
development.
The pool at the North Boulevard
was placed in operation during
the F. E. R. A. period and its 900
#. board walk and diving stand
have since been allowed to disin-
tegrate. II IS built in the form Of
half oval with approximately
1900 feet of shore line.
The P0inciana Lake IS an in
land salt pond varying from 6 70
10 fee: in depth ard approximate
" 1900 feet long. from 100
TO $50 feet in width. Il Is entirely
within the area owned by the Fed
eTaI Public Housing Authority
and now serves the POinciana
Housing projects.
The foot of Whitehead Street
which is of course publicly owed
has been used blythe coIored peO-
pie. The go foot shore has a rock
ledge and off shore conditionssare
no doubt similar TO South Beach.
This is a very limited bathing To-
cation and certainly not cOnsider-
ed adequate. Due TO the fact that
the government reservatione at
Fort Taylor blocks access TO Ethe
water front and to very good
beach area, the problem Of find
ing an adequate beach accessible
to our colored population IS diff
cult of solution. A number Of
cities. such as Memphis, have sol
we'd this problem thru the con
stIuction Of swimming pools II

or condemned this solution might
have merit here.
