THE WILL OF THE PUBLIC

The Citizens of Key West have
more than ably demonstrated
that they have and that they are
doing everything in their power
TO make the Administration of the
City of Key West know and feel
that they are to be governed for
the good of the whole and not the
few. The fight for City Manager
Is one that we'll may go down in
t6ythe annals of our local history
as one that is determination by
the people that they are to be
represented by those whom they
desire.
/ recall Mr.. Louis Carbonell's
very fine address to the. Mayor
at the last $50 Session when he
very pointedly asked His Honor
if he was not supposed to repre-
sent the will of the people and his
honor replied that Gle thought he
represented the will of the people
who elected him" / beg to ques-
ton at this time if anybody's will
is being considered and to prove
this is the manner in which the
last regular meeting was adjourn
ed without so much as How do
you do, Mr.. Public. We are fin
ished with business-no speak
your piece"
That lettering spire at the City
Hall, with its rust-eaten crest
held up by the strips of rein
forcing band iron is only too true
a reflection of the attitude and
faith of the people of Key West
of what they see and hope for.
There must be a Revival of Pub
lie Interest that no Public Off
cial will dare act in any capacity
detrimental to the Will of the
People. We can pack that City

ing hand was pointed at the City

was made that if Mr.. King made
another application for City
Manager that The Mayor would
prefer charges against him (Mr.
King for what he found in that
office. Is this charge a secret to
be shared by the Mayor or is the
Public to be ignored and never
informed as to what irregularities
if any have occurred? / say now
that the re-application of Mr..
King is challenge to make good
this heated threat of ''preferring
charges" or will the Mayor choose
to remain silent? I should like

by Public Will and Public De-
mand, be forced to inform John.

he did.
Are we the Public Servants or
are we the electorate? They are
the Public Servants and let us
watch closely what is to be done
with the circulating petitions to
re-instate Mr.. King when they are
presented to His Honor and the
City Commission. Will your will,
the Will of the People, be flouted
in your face again? Only time
will tell, as it has so we'll done
already. Will the Public get the
end that got over the fence last?

An Englishman, visiting in this

was setting out with considerable

Doubts A-BOmb Control
By Col. Allen J. Greer

BIKINI Delayed If all mankind
could have seen the destructive power
Of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima, Ma
gasaki and Bikini, there would be no
more wars, provided the people con-
trolled their governments actions.
One of the lessons taught by the
atomic bomb is that no nation can have
absolute security. Heavy bombers, capa-
BILE Of carrying the bomb, now have a
one-way range of 5000 miles, which
soon will be increased. Rockets, which
might transport the bomb, will have al
most unlimited range. AS the normal
targets for atomic bombs will be large
cities and industrial centers, casualties
in future wars will fall on civilians as
well as the armed forces.
The reaction to these facts has so
terrified our people that they wish to
outlaw atomic bombs and place all pro-
duction of atomic energy under inter-
national control. II all nations believed
as we do. this would be feasible, but
analysis of the facts convinces me that
no such measures are practicable.
So far we are the only nation that
has produced the atomic bomb and one
Of the few with the complete know
how" as to its construction. But we
cannot rely on maintaining this monop-
oily and In few years other nations.

how.

atomic bombs probably could be de-
signed to produce other explosives, too.
Thus, international inspectors, appoint
ed to supervise such plants, would have
great dificulty in determining whether
or not factory was employed in A
bomb production. This would be true
even If the inspectors had free access
to all parts OF the country at any time.

The proposal of our State Department
to establish an international commission
Of the United Nations, known as the
Atomic Development Authority, to have
title and access to all uranium deposits
and alone conduct mining operations.
while highly desirable in theory, runs
against the barrier that the Soviet Union
raises to supervision of any of its ac-
tivities within its own territories
Until the Russian position changes
and no such possibility appears likely
in the near future-complete interna-
tional control OF atomic energy cannot
occur.

intelligence, telling him that he had not
sent a report for such long time that
his superiors In Paris might be won
dering what he was doing. Whereupon
the American naval officer fished out
of his files some 20-year-old blueprints
OF torpedo boats or already obsolete
cruisers, stamped them secret and con-
ndential" and handed them over to the
enthused Frenchman who sent them by
special pouch to the ministere de la ma
rine In Paris, where they were in turn
filed away without anybody paying
them the slightest attention.
This blissful situation no longer ex-
lists. The United States is now packed
with foreign agents who have spent
much time and money to discover things
which our armed forces wished to keep
secret.
1t Is true that since the Soviet mill
tary attache at Ottawa was caught red
handed as an instigator OF a large
espionage network, the oficial Soviet
military men in Washington have be-
come very discreet.
- ~
The center of the Russian espionage
has been transferred from Canada to
Mexico where it receives information,
reports 1t to Moscow and issues instruc-
tions to the thousands of agents who
operate throughout the hemisphere,
either In military espionage or propa-
ganda.
The work which used to be done by
the Russian military men is now in
charge of some of the assistant mill
lary attaches Of Russian satellite coun-
trles who benefit from their diplomatic
immunity to move about the country.
make contacts with individuals in po-
sltlon to know what they are seeking
and then report to Mexico.
Among these attaches are some who.
While bearing military titles, have never
served in regular armed forces. What
ever military knowledge they possess
comes from what they have learned
in the special NKVD schools. They
receive instruction about what type of
information is necessary. Then their
NKVD training serves them in apply-
ing the know-how of getting the data
they are supposed to gather for the
files OF their employers.
They are contracting Americans of
foreign origin in the hope that the old
ties with their country of origin will
induce them to give information which
the contacted individuals themselves
often fail to realize is important. They
are also discreetly in touch with groups
OF so-called liberal Americans, some
OF whom believe that peace in the world
can be achieved only by turning over
to Russia everything she desires re-
gardless OF any quid pro quo.

Arctic Air Routes
From the Chicago Tribune.

rEom INC Suicdso ITlpune.
The Army Air Forces are planning an
Arctic patrol to serve the double purpose
OF obtaining weather information and
working out routine of reconnaissance
in the polar areas. The work will be
done in B-29s. The expectation is that
the flights will start within q few
months
The project was plainly foreshadowed
a few weeks ago when Gen. Arnold, chief
Of the Army Air Forces, spoke again Of
the enormous Importance of Arctic iy-
ing for commercial and military pur-
poses. The northern route Is the short
path to both Europe and Asia. 1t is des-
tined, therefore, to be the path of travel
and Of military operation. We have
the planes today and the techniques for
Arctic flying. A service from Chicago,
via Alaska to Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong
Kong, and Manila, will be instituted by
Northwest Airlines as soon as govern
ment authorizations are obtained. The
planes from Chicago to England and
France will also follow the northern
route.
Gen. Arnold has emphasized the need
to retain adequate airbases in Iceland,
The Icelanders themselves can hardly
be expected to assume the heavy cost Of
maintaining the fields we built during
the war, but we can and should assume
the task. A first duty Of the State De-
partment is to obtain the rights to these
fields and the corresponding installa-
tions in Greenland. We need them for
our security and for their usefulness in
the era Of Arctic flying which is: at

Potent Office Crisis

II 1t had been the established
policy Of the Federal Government
to destroy the usefulness of the
Patent Office through slow strangu-
lation. more effective way of doing
it could not have been devised than
the inexplicable delaying of the re-
turn from Richmond of the trun-
Gated portion of the Office which
was elected from Washington as
war emergency measure. The pat
ent log jam has been growing worse
with every passing month since the
wars efh, yet the re-establishment
Of this important reconversion
agency as unified, efficient bureau
seems as far away as ever. There
is general agreement among en-
ployes of the Office and among pat
ent attorneys that the splitting of
functions between Washington and
Richmond Is wasteful of time and
energy and is a continuing deter
rent to efficient operation of the
office.
The drastic division of Patent
Office activities was described at the
time as a temporary expedient de-
signed to make room in Washington
for rapidly expanding war agencies.
But the war has been over for nearly
a year and promises by Federal
space authorities that the Richmond
divisions would be returned by July
l of this year have not been kept.
Meanwhile, postwar squirt in pat
ent applications. especially in tech
nical fields closely related to indus
trial reconversion, has imposed an
intolerable burden on already over
burdened patent examiners. The
growing congestion of cases await
ing examination has been aggra-
waited by delays that are inevitable
under the present remote control
system Of administering the Rich
mond branch.
This situation should not be per-
mitted to go on indefinitely. There
has been too much delay already in
dealing with this matter. It is not a
question of finding a home for an
agency which has no home. The

Public Menace No. |

g.. The bus accident at the bridge
+. and yesterdays tragedy at Four
teenth street and New York avenue,
less than a week apart, again en-
phasize the grave public RESPONSE
bility assumed by those who win
the right to drive an automobile in
modern city traffic. In both cases
the killed and the manned were the
victims of irresponsible driving,
against which these victims had no
power of protection.
Is it too easy to win a permit
which entities the holder to drive
a heavy, complicated piece of ma
chinery through crowded city
streets? Once the permit is won,
are we too casual in granting the
individuals right to periodic but
routine renewal? Should driver,
involved in any accident to which
his own suspected carelessness was
a contributing factor, enjoy the
unquestioned right to continue to
drive? Poor driving is becoming a
constantly increasing hazard to the
public and some more effective way
of dealing with it must be found in
the interests of self protection.
There are twice as many appli-
cants for drivers licenses this year
as there were last. The applicants,
naturally, are younger than they
have been since before the war. A
boys sixteenth birthday is a more
significant date to him than his
twenty-frst, for at sixteen he is old
enough to acquire a learners per-
NIT. Once the regular permit is
granted, its periodic renewal
through the mails-is treated more
as a revenue-raising device than as
an opportunity to check on the
drivers continued competence as a
permit holder
The Traffic Bureau is doing some
experimenting now, in the way of
checking up on records of careless
driving in connection with permit
renewal. Traffic Director George
keneipp is exploring the possibility
of making driving tests more diff
cult. Certainly it is obvious that a
more systematic method of wedding
out unfit drivers, who are greater
menaces to the public than to them
selves, has become necessary.

On the Record
By Dorothy THOMPSON

Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia are fic-
tions. Actually, they belong to a hold
Ing company, as it were, whose presi-
dent OF the board with all the other
members voting by his proxy Is the
Soviet Union.
Atop all this, our own policies in what
is left of Germany are all calculated to
drive the country into communism. We.
TOO, accepted the idea that all opposition
to Nazilsm came from the extreme left
wing, which Is simply not fact. Our
economic measures taken under the slo-
gans OF Preparations" or disarmament"
have absolutely destituted everybody
and caused an all-but- t-universal unem-
ployment -
The quality of our army of occupa-
ton has steadily deteriorated due to the
cry. Bring our boys home" Their be-
havior is undisciplined in the extreme.
Whereas the Russians burst into Ger
many with unexampled savagery, in
dulglng In weeks-long orgies OF looting
and rape, under what was obviously
policy-the raping and looting halted
when 1t was Red Army policy to stop it.
All reports state that economic and
cultural life are. being more rapidly re-
stored in the Russian zone than else
where and that attacks on the popula-
ton have fallen back to something ap-
preaching normal" But complaints of
American behavior mount Thousands
OF American men have gone into busi-
ness on the desperation of the popula-
ton and are operating the black mar
kets. The wolf whistle" resounds
through the land. Hunger, unsatisfied
sensuality and pure loneliness drive
German girls into American arms to
the bitter fury of the decimated male
population.
Whereas no political party other than
the new Communist dominated "fu-
sion" can operate successfully in the
Russian zone, the Communists also
operate successfully in the American
zone. They are, for instance, the lead
ing spirits in the successor to the old,
influential, once liberal Frankfurter lei
tung, now reborn as the "Frankfurter
Rundschau' and called by the German
people "the Frankfurter Pravda." 1t
IS managed by four editors, or as cur
rently called licensees" Of whom two
are Communists, one a Communist
oriented Catholic and one weakly un-
dynamic Social Democrat.
We have tended to treat all "bour-
geoise" from industrial life as "Nazis, :"
even for this reason declaring as "po-
litically unreliable" a man whose anti
Nazi activities are known to leading
members Of our OS.S while f1attering
others who have even been members
OF the SIS. A case is that OF Prinz
Louis Ferdinand, grandson of the Kali
ser, who was an SIS. officer and is now
Or recently was-vice president OF
German-American club. In fact, we
have no political policy for Germany
worthy of the name. The people have
not the foggiest sense of any conceiv-
able future, Only one German party
has firm support OF a great power

Well, we shall see what we shall see.
