Bonnie Gates
Held Lin Jail
Without Bail

Sheriff Berlin Sawyer said to-
day he is waiting to hear from
Superintendent Terrell of the
Florida State Hospital before
taking action against Benjamin
Gates. whom the shreiff arrested
yesterday.
Sheriff Sawyer explained that
he arrested Gates because of the
many complaints the sheriff's Of
flee had received about him. The
sheriff stated that Gates has
twice been in the institution at
Chattahooche, and County Judge
Raymond Lord said that the last
time he committed Gates was
August Is, 1945, but he was re-
leased under parole few
months later.
Information, Sawyer said, he
wished to receive from DR.. Ter
rell was if it was necessary for
Gates to be examined again by a
commission, or if he could be re-
committed because he had
broken his parole.
Meanwhile, Gates is held in
the county Jail without bond.

most folks is sure enough money.
Gold. Worldwide, gold has trad
In value. Nothing approaches 1t
never has-not since away back
there in Lydia. around 600 Be.
when they first started to use gold
as coin. Of all the things our
U.S.A. needs more of, it is con-
fidence. Good money is the place
to start. For a dozen years We
been ambling around in con-
fusion.
If was ever running for some
thing, like maybe president, one
of my planks to stand on. would
be gold dinero. And if it was
somebody running like Mr.. Brick

and Mr.. George-republican or
democratic would cut no ice or
make a difference. Folks want
to get away from fummiddles.
Gold has a clink and jingle to
it that oozes confidence.
And getting a little further in
to elections and what has took
place, it is sorta like with an old
car, you trade it in regardless,

THE STATESMAN

When the chief concern
of a man in public life is in
his community, he no longer
is a politician-he is states
man.
That term is too often
applied to a man, who,
while in office, is mainly
concerned in political fence
mending at home, despite
his declarations about the
workings of the government
for the benefit of the peo-
pie. The dear people" are
all in all to him in his
speeches while he keeps his
minds eye on conditions at
home that may or may not
result i'm his reelection.
Senator Byrd has been
considered a statesman for
many years. Though a DEM
ocrat, he has been fearless
in making statements, par
ticularly about taxation, that
were against the Democratic
party. He has fought for the
state, which means the peo-
pie, regardless of what
party it helped or harmed.
Reducing h e govern
ment payroll has been ad-
vocated by him, year in and
year out, and he has told
thousands of persons who
did little more than endorse
their salary checks. He
knew that his disclosures
would work against him
among thousands of people
at home, but he was uncon-
cerned in fenee-mending and
concerned in the welfare of
the people.
Former Secretary of State
Stettinius, when he de-
clared there is no difference
between decent and courag-
eous Republicans and Dem
ocrats, probably had in
mind such a statesman as
Senator Byrd.
There may come a day,
though it is far, far away,
when there will be no sell
fishness in politics. If that
day. ever comes, a public Of
fetal, in making a decision
that he knows to be right,
will not be concerned in the
effect it will have on him
when he becomes candi-
date for reelection.

"PRE-FAB" HOUSES
MOVE SLOWLY

Wilson Wyatt, Housing
Expediter, seeks to prime
the prefabrication industry
with S54,O00,O00 in Federal
loans, but, for some reason,
there is a reluctance on the
part of house-builders to &C
cept the prefabricated struc-
lures.
The original housing goal
for 1916 set 250,000 prefab-
ricated homes as its objec-
tive but reports indicate that
the total output will be
around 100000.
Meanwhile, the National
Housing Agency says that
five aircraft factories are
preparing to start assembly,
line output of additional
dwellings. T h is probably
means a faster output be-
cause the production of
wood and plywood prefab-
ricated homes has not yet
passed t h e 1,000-a-week
mark, partly because of
lumber and other material
shortages.
The cost of building a
home in the United States is
entirely too high and there
has been. so far, no success
full method of producing
them by mass production
methods. The suggestion has
been made, however, that
despite the tendency of
builders to cling to conser-
vative materials, there is a
possibility of reducing costs
by the mass production of
homes in a given area.
We have no idea how
long it will take, but one of
the great events of the new
age will be the develop
ment of a satisfactory meth
cd of producing reasonably
priced homes. These homes
will be far different from
the conventional houses of
the present day. They will
take advantage of new
methods of lighting, heating
and air-conditioning. There
will be a tendency to save
money on the size of the
structure in order to pro-
vide the conveniences that
modern industry affords.

United States, with their
tremendous economic pow

of the earth.
If this statement is cor
rect, and there is little rea-

welfare of the world and
possibly the peace of the
world, depends upon the
policies to be pursued by the
United States.
The responsibility that
rests upon those who direct
our international policies re-
quires the exercise of far

this is to be evident in our
attitude to other nations, we
