CARAVAN or SORROW
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
The clouds of war are no longs
or visible along the horizon
Consequently, the world as 9
whole begins to feel the after
nath. AS an example, one may
expose our present predicament-
Discharges at the Sub Base have
been numerous and according to
certain reports, more will follow
soon.
For the last five years, we have
all been extensively lax IN map
ping out our future; reconver-
sion was first thing to be con-
sidefed at a later date. Much TO
our sorrow at present. We wlned,
danced and caroused, unaware
that we must inevitably at length
pay the Piper.
Apparently, it is now too late.
The citizenry and our local sol
ons thought conscientiously OF
conversion. People are evacuat-
ing in droves. Perhaps a neigh
boring community may send a
news reporter to witness the sad
spectacle, to gather writing ma
terial and head it very appro-
priately, the Caravan of Sor-
row."

PETTY POLITICS"
JOSEPH M. vILLAR.

Editor, The Citizen:
The Citizens of Key West stand
by in disgust at the flare OF tenn
pers that have the old and bat
tered tower of the City Hall
quaking from top to bottom. As
long as / can remember politics
have been sort of messy IN Key
West and will be as. long as we
have the family and friend poll
tics. Speaking to a member OF
the Charter Committee and not
the Charter Group hel stated that
the City of Key West incorporate
ed the Civil Service Code of the
City of Miami. Sitting on that
board should be men of expert
ence who in no way could reflect
temperaments or grudges which
might be borne over to employees
from the Federal Civil Service.
One member should be reput-
able attorney who will not en-
courage one side of any faction
but work for the good of the
whole. AS it looks today the local
Civil Service Board is in deter
mined all out effort to sustain a
veritable grudge fight between
officials and employees. ! sincere
ly hope that no personal tempera-
ment has been any factor. It is
highly discreditable to the Civil
Service Board in their language
concerning Chief Eisner because
they have left nothing to the ms
agination of the rest of the en-
that they can just about
do as they please, that is how it
appears from the reports.
No employee of the Army,
Navy or Coast Guard should be
permitted to sit on the Civil
Service Board, because it might
be unfair to- citizens who might
apply for a position when those
same people maintain the prejud-
ices brought from the Federal
Service This lis one reason I did
not feel that any member of tie
City Commission should be in a
position of authority.
The hopes we assayed in the
fight for the City Charter have
dwindled until they are only
hopes. There is little hope for any
better government. With all the
charges at the old council never
did we see such open flaring of
tempers as we have today. Mr..
King realized from the start that

DIPLOMACY

Our conclusion is that
diplomacy is the chief re-
quirement of a city man
ager.
Indeed, diplomacy is a
major factor in every call
ing where we have to deal
with others.
We wondered, many a
time, while the Big Four
was meeting in Paris, h Q W
Secretary of State Byrnes,
Foreign Minister Bevin and
President Bidault managed
to keep from becoming an
gry over the stubbornness
and arbitrary attitudes OF
Molotov.
But. so far as was re-
vealed, publicly, the Big
Four disagreed but never
ouarreled. That was an adj
mirable manifestation OF
will power.
Nobody is always right,
and the man who realizes
that fact and is governed
by it is a good diplomat. He
is governed by reason, not
vindictiveness. He is able to
see both sides of a question,
and sometimes is convinced
that the side other than his
may be right.
The two factions that
gradually developed in the
city, eliminating Friday in
the designations of several
officials, were arbitrary,
Neither side would concede
anything that was support
ed by the other side. The
manager did something that
his opponents didn't like,
aud stuck to his guns. He
could not be budged from
the position he had assumed,
and as the otherside could
not be budged, the rupture
had to- come.
What a difference it
would have been had either
side exercised the spirit of
diplomacy!

FOR MOTOR CAR
INSPECTION

One of the best ways to
prevent accidents is to pro-
vide for inspection of motor
vehicles, with especial atten-
ton to the brakes. Such an
inspection program is not
apt to be popular with some
operators of worn-out, dan
gerous and defective auto
mobiles and trucks. Never
theless, in the interest of the
public, it is necessary to pro-
vide rigorous inspection in
order to eliminate unsafe
cars from the traffic.
We should not overlook,
in connection with the ac-
cidents on our streets and
highways. that it is not al
ways the calpable individ-
ual who suffers serious in
jury or death. Very often,
innocent individuals, either
passengers or pedestrians,
lose their lives or receive
severe BIO lily injuries
through the carelessness of
others. They are entitled to
protection.

MISBEHAVING IN JAPAN

Every intelligent Ameri-
can should be concerned
over the statement of 1t.
Gen. Robert l.. Eichelberg-
er that there are many in
dications of a deliberate, ar
rogant, bullying attitude on
the part of our soldiers" in
Japan.
The General warns that
misconduct must be stopped.
He calls attention to increas-
ing reports from all parts
of Japan of HOUSEKEEPING,
assaults on women, drunk
enness, thievery and malic-
ious beatings of japanese by
individuals and groups.
/ Lindsay PARROT, cores
pendent of The New York
Times, says that the Gen.
erals complaint officially
confirms what most cores
pondentS have known for
some time, that the new
young draftee has exhibit
ed qualities of juvenile de-
linquency and vandalism
never demonstrated by the
combat troops who fought
in the Southwest Pacific
war" He asserts that most
of the crimes are committed
by soldiers who "never
heard a shot fired by the
enemy"
The good name of the
United States, and it's peo-
pie, is involved in the mis-
behavior of American sol
diers. While it was legiti-
mate to kill the Japanese
soldier, in the course of
combat, the responsibility
of this country changed
changed when the enemy
surrendered. The mistreat-
ment of conquered people
by our soldiers should not be
tolerated by commanding
officers of the Army and
their efforts to restore disci-
pline. through the vigorous
punishment of guilty often
ders, should have the sup
port of every intelligent
American.

THE NEWSPAPER AS
A TEXTBOOK

~ Discussing the s'newspa-
per as a textbook" before
the conference of the Ma
| tiopal Educational Associa-
ps'tfoh, Miss Maude Staudep-
mayer, president of the Ma
tiohan association of Jour-
nalism Directors, explains
that it is the duty of teachers
IA their students how.
to read the news.
AZ We have no quarrel with
the theme of the lady's adj
dress, but we cannot refrain
from suggesting that it
would would be we'll for
schools of journalism to &C
cept the duty of teachers to
train their students how to
conduct a newspaper so that
it would present the news
fairly, impartially and truth
fully.
1t is not necessary for a
journalist to deal in false
hood to create wrong i'm
pressions or to mislead read
ers. The worst fault of
American. newspapers in
our judgment, is the tend
ency to play up certain lines
of news in aaInanner which
creates an absolutely false
impression.
Perhaps the leading ex-
ample of this is to be found
in the treatment accorded
strike news in recent years.
Despite statistics w hi c h
tended to show that labor,
as a class, Loyalty supported
the war effort of the United
States. the newspaper writ
ers and radio commentators
have undoubtedly created a
doubt in the mind of the pub
lie generally.
Much the same criticism
be directed to the treat
ment accorded various ma
tional and international is
sues by newspapers which
play up to certain local
population groups. 1t is seen
also. in the tendency of the
press to magnify the &C
~camplishments of local citi-
zens, the role of local poll
hticians, the Importance of
comparatively minor local
incidents.

No Leisure

A farmer who went to a large
city to see the sights, engaged a
room at hotel and, before re-
firing, asked the clerk about the
hours for meals.
I'VE have breakfast from Z to

per from 6 to g." explained the
clerk.

All manner of tradesmen soon
realized that the idea was a good
one, and it became common prac-
tice for apprentices and others to
take box round to their business
acquaintances, singing carols the
while.
BY the time Pepys wrote his ia
NOUS diary, Christmas boxes were
well established, and he mentions
them several times in his writings.
Swift also has a word to say about
them in his journal to Stella"
written in ITO; by the Lord Har-
ry, shall be undone here with
Christmas boxes"
/ One public servant, the "bell-
man." who enjoyed the privilege of
soliciting Christmas boxes, was in
some respects the forerunner of the
postman, often being commissioned
to deliver letters. At the approach
of Christmas he would push poems
of his own composition under the
doors of townsmen whom he had
served. They were reminders that
recognition was expected on Boxing
Day.
