TROOPS ORDERED TO FIRE

Several developments in the past few days have made Trieste even more explosive. They are:
 1. Tito has forbidden American and British airplanes to fly over Jugoslav territory on reconnais- sance flights. He has given his men orders to shoot such planes on sight.
 Twenty thousand Russian troops have left Hungary and crossed the border into Jugoslavia U. s. observers know this from the reconnaissance flights which Tito has now banned. Probably that's the reason he banned them-to prevent further knowledge of Rus sian troop movements.
 3. U. s. troops in Trieste have been given orders to fire if the Jugoslavs enter the city.
 4. The Italian Government has offered to place IS divisions at the disposal of the Americans and Bri- tish. However, they lack heavy arms and would have to be giver new equipment. The United States has declined this offer.
 In brief, Trieste has all the po- tentialities of war. Some diplomatic observers think this is what the Russians want = armed conflict between the United States anc Jugoslavia. Obviously the Russians don't want to bear the brunt o1 this conflict or initiate it. However if puppet such as Tito, who has a reputation for irresponsible bra gadoccio. can be the front man the Russians might be delighted.

HORTON COMEDY
 E FEATURE BILL
 TONIGHT, CAPITOL

The comedy flourishes of Edward Everett Horton and dramatic tale told in a light vein are the out standing ingredients of the film "Steppin' In Society opening to- night at the Capitol Theatre. The main situation of the story is strong on the comedy side.
 Horton in a characteristic DOT trayal of an austere. uncompromis- ing judge, accidentally stumbles up- on a gang of small-time criminals His identity is unknown to the gang and they believe he is a suc- cessful. gangster. The gang ap- points the judge as their leader and he proves to them that Crime Does Not Pay. Meanwhile, he gains for himself a more human and sympathetic attitude towards people in general
 Horton is the dominant figure in the cast and he has many lines which will cause chuckles. Gladys George, the wife of the judge, turns in good performance. Ruth Terry sings a gay musical number, ri You'll Like Me Then I'll Like You which gives an added entertain ment sparkle to the film. Robert Livingston, Jack LaRue and Lola Lane lend capable support.
 The screen play by Bradford Ropes based on novel by Marcel Arnac is fresh and has an unusual twist which will entertain audien- ces who enjoy light comedy. Joseph Bercholz was the associate produc- CT, and Alexander Esway directed

 From 5ifka

SITKA, Alaska, April 27-(Special Correspondence) ce)-Teen-agerS caus- ed considerable agitation and tur- moil in town this week by holding an all night party at the home of one of their members. whose par ents happened to be out of town. Following teen age club party Saturday night, the youngsters at tended the Russian Church mid night service - then decided it would be a lark to stay up until the Sunrise services Easter morn ing.
 By Monday morning when the lark became generally known, phones rang fur flew harsh words were exchanged - school and city authorities were heckled by a group of parents who feel the city officials should see that teen agers get home and to bed on time.
 A large group ot mothers, fath- CTS and teen-agers gathered at the Fire Hall Tuesday evening to present the case to the City Fath- CTS.
 When the Council was called to order at 8 o'clock Tuesday eve- ming by Mayor Peterson, the cham ters were crowded by almost 15O people. Read were letter from Delegate Bartlett, informing the Council that purchase of the USO Building by the City for $1 was impossible as it's construction was with Lantham Act funds; copy of a letter from the Presbyterian Church offering the government $l0,000 for the building, and one from ex- Mayor Goddard stating no better offer was likely; the resignation Of James Lantry as Harbor Master and the application of w H.. Ferris for the position, letter from tax commissioner w. P. Lang request ing assistance in the appointment of deputy collector for school and fishing taxes, letter tabled for further consideration.
 Council passed Nordby's motion that positions of Harbor Master and City Supervisor be combined. When Mayor Peterson announced applications for the position were in order, Bands recommended Ray McGraw. Charteris moved the oombiEed jobs be at a salary of $500 monthly. Motion carried after some argument over the possibility of obtaining men of the right cali bre at such low salaries-new members holding to their election promises of cutting city expenses.
 Council approved the appoint ment of Harry Doran as perman- ent Chief of Police and Ernest Dennis as permanent patrolman.
 Charteris, chairman of the Gar bage and Sanitation Committee, re- ported that inspection of the gar- bage dump had been made and found satisfactory and recommended approval of a drainage ditch to re- place the present culvert. Approval of an agreement with Oscar Sirstad covering the garbage dump was ordered recorded in the minutes. Charteris also reported that the committee found the present sys- tenn of garbage collection by the city satisfactory but if an indivi- dual could meet the requirement. and post adequate bond, his propo- sition would be given consideration.

AN EXPENSIVE WAY

With the introduction of the Wagner
Murray-Dingell compulsory health insur-
ance bill, the old struggle of socialism
versus private enterprise is back again. 1t
doesn't matter whether it is fish and chips,
electricity, pills, or cigars, the socialist
wants a government label instead of the
trademark of private enterprise.
DR.. r. l.. Sensenich, testifying before
thesSenate Education and Labor Commit
tee, said the bill which is designed to bene-
fit those too poor to pay for medical serv-
ice, is by no means cheap. In commenting
on the estimate of Arthur j. Altmeyer,
Chairman of the Social Security Board,
that the cost would be about S27 person
year, DR.. Sensenich figured that in
family of three, three times S27 would be
no small contribution. He also made the
point that even a system of compulsory
health insurance will not bring medical
service to those who are negligent of their
health, and claimed that many of those
who are not treated for ills today are
among that group.
The American Medical Association
advocates a national program to improve
the general health of the nation. DR.. Sen
senich contends this could be accomplished
by voluntary plan or plans which would
provide facilities for the care of the sick,
with local government contributing neces-
sary funds or facilities in especially poor
areas. "The entire public should not be
regimented into plan to care for reIa-
lively much smaller group" he said.

TAx-WEARY FLoRIDIANS

We saw headline in a newspaper
stating that Governor Caldwell had stig-
matized as "reactionaries' certain Flor
idians who advocated lower taxation.
Considering that Floridians are taxed
for everything, except air and sunshine,
we were inclined to look upon the COVER
nor's declaration as something of a sock
dologer.
We read an article in Life, three
weeks ago, written by a now prominent
English author He told how he had strug-
gled in his formative years as a writer to
attain recognition, and added that now it
had come it meant little to him because
the British government was getting nearly
all of his earnings.
OF course, not even Floridians are
taxed as heavily as the British, yet the
taxes we are paying are making us hunch-
backs, so great is the load. Realty is as
sessed at 100 percent of its value; ITALIA
hassee takes one-third of the amount we
pay for every gallon of gasoline, and one
fifth of what we pay for cigarettes. The
State Beverage Department is recurrently
it gets from taxes on liquor, matter with
which we have no quarrel, and taxes from
other things continue to pour into the
states treasury in a never-ending stream.
The fact is, Tallahassee has so much
money in the treasury, nobody there seems
to know just what the amount is. Comp
troller James NJ Lee, when he was a cam
didate for denomination to succeed HIM
self spoke of it as $100,000,000, and a
month or so ago he said that there was
$50, 100000 in this fund and SO much in
another fund, and SO ON and so on.
Other Tallahassee fife ais have
given varying amounts, one of them plac-
ing the sum at $80,000,000. Tallahassee
is like that well-known rich uncle, it has
so much surplus cash it really doesn't
know how much it is.
"Reaetionaries' indeed! Bur e n
bearers, trudging in the desert, with not
an oasis in sight is an apter term to apply
to the tax-weary people of Florida.
