Cowden Brothers Plug for S. 900 to Restore Williams SgA
By 0. J. Mosee

The Cowden brothers will stick
together. Let the world go on slap
ping them down. 1t can't kill the
feeling between them.
Love is blind, and so is william,
almost. All he can do toward pre-
serving his own pride is to sell pen
ellis and newspapers in the 1900 block
of F street NV. And for that same
pride, as well as his own. brother
George strides up and down the
block as q sidewalk photographer
and keeps an eye on his younger
brother.
Together they are trying to earn
$6,000-the overall sum they esti-
mate 1t will cost for an operation on
Williams burned eyes.
William, 80, and George, "a, have
the natural reluctance OF all men to
ascribe their partnership to any kind
of Damon and Pythias devotion.
They show it. however, in things
they say.
Mutual Admiration.
George is a fine brother" says
William. nodding in the direction of
a clicking camera on F. street. He
didn't know thing about cameras
when he took that job, but it was
the only work he could think of that
would enable him to help me-"
And out of hearing of his brother,
George pays compliments, too: You
should have seen him before his
gasoline truck blew up in Marion,
Va, six years ago. He was really
handsome"
Badly cut and burned when he
was thrown through the windshield
of the blazing truck, William was
resigned to death. Months of treat
ment in Marion hospital followed,
months in which the disf1gured man
began to realize he might pull
through.
George kept on looking after his
brother. He took William home with
after the wounds healed in an Akron
(Ohio) hospital. The compensation
the injured man received amounted
to about $l4 week, and this was
hardly enough to meet his expenses
George was in the Army a time, but
he received medical discharge and
began looking after his brother
again.
Accumulates $500.
Today the two brothers live alone
at 939 G place NV. William likes
the radio; George enjoys books
Evening star., 1946-04-28

Little by little their bank account
is growing. They have $500 now.
If I can only find the right sort
business, something in which Bill
can be of help" says George rumi-
natively, cooking his head and leav-
ing the sentence unfinished.
William has a letter from the New
York Medical Center in which ex-
penses of an eye operation are listed,
item by item. No one, including the
patient, can be certain how long the
treatment would require, but Will
liam estimates it at year, and the
cost at $1,000.

Who Will Furnish US Our Gas?

This is an all important question that in all probity
will be answered by the citizens of Little Rock Tuesday

zeal challenge of Mayor Dan Sprick to the owners OF the
Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company Just who will furnish
gas many people at this time seems unimportant Just
long they getting the But later it
will matter then il will be late to do anything about
it, So the PRESS advises all who interested in the
welfare of the city and in the future of the younger gen
Grafton TO think and act wisely when to the polls
be- you take enterprise out of the hands OF ndvid
ual citizens and put it in the hands of the government
This is not written any bouquet to the Arkansas
Louisiana Gas Company. Despite the courteous and ec
lent service rendered by the operators is not just habit
of the PRESS praise. And the other hand much
ike TO condemn, not condemning the city Tor
tryng to take over the gas company for this one time we
have bones to pick We merely expressing an
opinion concerning private ownership and government
owned When the government into business it
has tendency sfle initiative and prevent others from
pioneering If the government had started in business in
the early centuries there would not have been any na
tive for the early pioneers who have built great empires
and made America the greatest and the richest country
the face Of the earth.
Mayor spriehs plan to take over the gas company
would be life the fable killing the hen that lays the gol
den egg 1t has been admitted that the city is short of
funds properly operate Chat is the the Mayor
gives for not appointing adequate police protection in the
West Ninth Street area II that is true wouldn't il render
the city unable by taking from it beween $50 O00 and
s65O0O in paid by the Arkansas Louisiana Gas Com
pany?
II is said that if the City operates the gas company it
will give you gas cheaper and derive at the
same time That's speculation Who will operate the
company? Men who know gas, or men who have been
trained in water?
We do not believe there is any city the size of Little
Rock and the distance Little Rock is from the gas fields
with rate any cheaper cheap Little Rock has,
whether il municipality owned privately owned. Our
neigborng city Memphis Tennessee operates its gas
company and there such difference in the gas
that gas in Memphis is luxury instead of a necessity.
Little Rock has of the lowest rates in the nation
Again, say this is not written any political
argument for the gas company but in effort make
you think before you to the polls Tuesday December
II and give government the leeway to destroy private
capital by voting for the city to take the gas company
1t is understood that many OF you work Tor the CITY, but
before you hasty in your campaign compare that
number with the number who work for private industry.
And too think who pay the city that the city is able
pay your monthly wages,

professional race baiters, back

fight to retain his seat in the up

tieipating introduction of a here
to fore closely guarded brief,
Prepared by NAACP legal coun-
sci, assisted by powerful liberals
with years of top level Washing

probably require special per-
mission from the special COM
mittee in charge of the hearings
before the lethal brief, which he
considers a most comprehensive
one in terms of legal and other
pressing elements, can be pre-
sented. In his opinion, the NAA-

practical basis for the Senate's
