LESSON TO WHITE VOTERS

John England, county supervisor of
registration, observed Tuesday that, if the
eolored voters in Key West register 1000
strong, as one of their leaders declared,
and stick together" in casting their bal
lots, they may be the deciding factor in
the outcome of the election, regarding any
candidate or candidates.
Probably that is so, if all of them vote
the same way, but they are going to vote,
with few exceptions. just as the white
folks will vote: according to the dictates
of their conscience, or for purely personal
reasons. ah' ~"
That condition is already manifest
among the colored voters, although they
have not yet registered in force. 1t is known
that one of their leaders, interested in the
race for the Democratic nomination for
state representative, is working hard in
the interests of one candidate, and it is
known that another leader is working just
as hard for another candidate.
And that circumstance probably will
pertain to all other candidates. White or
black. in a community as small as Key
West, if bloc of votes in either case num-
bers 1000, you may be sure that not all
of the votes will be cast the same way.
But aside from that conjecture, the
colored people in Key West III their DETER
mination to qualify to,vote in the, May
primary, are providing u lesson, III citizen
ship that those white Key Westerns who
apparently think it is not worth their time.
TO register, may we'll profit by. 'e,e"
And The Citizen trusts that the inter-
est created in qualifying by the colored
voters may spread to the recalcitrant white
voters, that is, voters, if they go to the
county courthouse and register.

White-haired and fair-haired Bernard
Baruch won the confidence of his country

peace. ''.' '7'"'e~.
Despite the fact that controversy
exists in Washington over the issue of
civilian Vs. military control of atomic
energy, there is real cause to fear the
atomic bomb. There is no. question but
what the United States Government dis
trusts Soviet Russia
Under ordinary circumstances the way
to handle the atomic energy question
would be to "lock it up" and keep the
secret-key The logic of this conclusion is
found in the fact that there is no probable
ity, or possibility. that the United States
will ever start foreign war The possess
sion of the atomic secret by the USA should
remain weapon of defense nothing
else.

'What!" Gernaine gripped the

calm him.

quired. He refused to tell me

in way, am responsible for the
death Of my son"
There was nothing Rush could
say to that. so he kept silent.
The door behind him burst
open and a girl ran into the
room. Rush recognized her as
Leslie Gerniaine. She went to her
father and put her arms around
him.
Il just heard, Daddy. It's too
horrible. Who did it? And why?"
I'VE don't know. Leslie" He
