Associate Justice Wiley
Rntledge, of the u. S. Su-
preme Court, expresses a
thew that some f'public or
semi-public sources of en-
lightenment" have departed
from Thomas Jefferson's in
junction of eternal hostil-
ity against every form of
tyranny over the mind of
man."
The Justice points out
that education is not suffi-
eient to make Democracy
workable and says that
sources of enlightenment
must be governed alone by
that sincere regard for
truth" that will make it an
aid to the general welfare,
rather than that of some
special interest.
We are quite agreed with
the statements Of the emf
nent jnrist and with his con-
3lRiOn that there is evidence
that the press, with notable
EXCEPTIONS. might be de-
parting from the jefferson
ian standard. Moreover, he
adds, the radio sis so much
devoted to advertising and
I! sheer entertainment" THAT
{ ,it does not perform half of
" its possible functions.% He
nalxp bclieyesrthat some I'M
stauti0ns of education have
ffahed to measure up to- the
yaFdstick of the general vel
fare.
The Justice made his
comments in connection with
a commencement program
and, while his words are not
90 be taken as a condemnaS
ton of the press as a whole,
or the radio, or our educa-
tional institutions, it is inn
portant that the people of
this country understand the
possible service that these
groups can render to the
government and the people
OF the United States.
= We would hesitate to
suggest what percentage of
the groups are falling away
nom Standard of public
service, enjoined by Thomas
Z Jefferson, but despite adj
mitted shortcomings, there
are Instances, every once in
a while, that reveal the
high ideals of newspapers
and newspaper writer's.

agencies, Snerl1I dept, etc.,
John NJ. Spottswood, of
radio station WKWF, con-
cludes a letter to the county
commission by requesting to
be informed of the extent
of your support, financially
and otherwise.
The Citizen is unaware OF
the type of claw enforce
ment agencies" Mr.. Spots
wood has in mind, but The
Citizen does know that, be-
sides the sheriff and his
deputies, Monroe county al
so has three constables.
Further, the State Road Pa
troll cooperates efficiently
with the sheriff's depart
ment.
That efficiency has been
so outstanding that, a few
months ago when State
Road Patrolman IS ! j m
Walker was transferred
from this area, we published
an editorial, commencing
him for his success in oper-
ating Independently and al
so in cooperation with the
sheriff's department.
Every law violator who
tried to escape from Mon
roe county was apprehend-
ed by Mr.. Walker, provided
the offense had been report
ed to the sheriff's office in
time. The only fugitives
who escaped were those
whose crimes had not been
reported till the fugitives
had had time to get out OF
the country.
Sheriff. Sawyer, repeat
eddy in The Citizen, asked
residents to let him know
Immediately when a crime
had been committed. When
ever that was done, and it
was thought the criminal
was trying to escape from
the country, Sheriff Sawyer
Immediately communicated
with the road patrolman at
Marathon, and a few min
utes later headquarters in
Miami broadcast particulars
about the criminal, and all
road patrolmen in south
Florida were on tiptoe to
catch the criminal. And they
always did, if the time ele-
ment were not against them.
Patrolman Walker w a $
succeeded by Patrolman
Bateman, who has demon
strated, time and again, that
he performs his duties eff
fieiently.
SO why organize Monroe
county law enforcement
age 5, sheriff's dept.
etc. 2"
Why support FINAN-
CIALLY. and otherwise"
The taxpayers already
Are FINANCIALLY support
ing the "sheriff's dept,
etc. so why duplicate, re-
CARELESS whom the duplica-
ton benefits, the FINAN-
CIAL support?
The county is experience
ing lush times financially
now, but anybody who
reads The Citizens Ten
Years Ago column knows it
was something of an event
when the county clerk re-
ported that he had made up
a payroll. County employees
waited for months some
times before they received
their salaries.
That condition has come
and gone and come again,
and it will continue to come
and go. The county commits
sioners are aware of that
fact. They are aware too
that every dollar of the tax
payers money they spend
unnecessarily, t h ey are
throwing away the taxpay-
ers' money.
Finally, they know they
would be violating their
oath of office if they sub
sidized any private enter
prise, whether it is a radio
station, a newspaper or any
thing else.

Caribbean Air Traffic
Accord. Is Reached as
Conference Ends Here

Detailed plans for the control OF
expanding air traffic in the Carib-
bean area were completed today at
the closing conference of repre-
sentatives of 81 nations who have
been in session here for the last
three weeks under auspices of the
Provisional International civil
Aviation Organization.
Delegates were advised. however
that the most perfect plans for nav
igation aids, weather .forecasting
communications networks, airport
improvements and air-sea rescue
units must have solid financial
backing before they become opera
tional.
In his closing address, Charles J.
Stanton, deputy administrator of
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton and president of the regional
conference, pointed out that mot a
single plan for air services has been
distorted or manned to make it
coincide with some national boun-
dary," although negotiations en-
braced '18 separate national SOW
ereignties making use of four
distinct languages"
Mr.. Stanton expressed the opinion
that the cooperation shown at the
Washington meeting may we'll
present better guide to subsequent
regional meetings than the earlier
work in Dublin or Paris" where
problems of navigation in the North
Atlantic and Mediterranean areas
were discussed.

der the aviation groups agenda is

ton Award and was the first COM
poser to be given fellowship from
the American Academy in Rome,
whose works were commissioned for
the Berkshire Festival and the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System, always
has possessed the fundamental ap-
probation of his time and environ
ment to evolve into true national
composer.
His setting of folk tunes in the
orchestral versions OF such old
fashioned numbers as Money
Musk and The Irish Washer
woman" and the woodwind quintet
on Pop Goes the Weasel have
brought gayety and vigor to the
serious business of music making.
He has definitely stamped many of
his works by his performance indi-
cations which eschew the foreign
designations in favor of the thor
oughly distinctive ones of "at a
steady trot," with ginger" and "in
free and easy-going manner"
He Is a master of melody either
IN long, expressive lines or in snappy,
rhythmic form that hark back to
the days when he wrote for Paul
Whiteman's orchestra. But in mat
ters OF counterpoint he is equally
skilled. and writes with ease in
the conservative classical style
What makes his writings different
from others also proficient in these
forms is his imagination, his sin
certify and his genuineness. Such
qualities are the soil from which a
national music will spring and which
many composers, with their eyes
fixed on the far horizon, have not
known lay at their feet.

place them on a par with their Eu-
ropean competitors, it is refreshing
to find one who is SO thoroughly
himself. 1t is true that the influ-
ence of the great masters of compo-
sition Is to be found in Sowerby's
works, but in submitting to this in
f1uence he has not sacrificed his
own individuality or turned his back
on the inspiration to be had in his
homeland.
The special features of humor and
tenderness that make up the Ameri-
can character and which has made
our servicemen the best ambassa-
dors of peace, are present in Sow
erby's writings. Also there is a spir-
itual concept that has placed his
sacred works among the best with
an instant appeal not always to be
found in his later output, it is true,
which still needs more hearings for
full appreciation. The latter is
partly due to the composers natural
growth that is bound to lead into
deeper waters than the ordinary
public can grasp Immediately.
But the man who three times re-
ceived the Eastman School Publica-
