BOYS DRINKING BEER
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
| Recalling our telephone con-
versation on the 28th of this
month about local conditions
that tend to increase juvenile
delinquency, and the knowing or
unwilling disregard of some pub
| lie officials in this matter:
On Monday the 9th of Octo-
Der, 1947s the following ,condi-
tons were noted at the baseball
game in Poinciana ball park:
Someone running for City Com
missioner, furnished free beer for
the crowd at the ball game, and
no proper precautions were
taken against the possibility of
beer falling into the hands of
juveniles.
Children of various ages were
throwing pieces of ice as large as
a baseball. 1 took a bottle of
! beer away from a ten-year-old
boy and poured it out on the
ground. / don't know how much
he had consumed prior to the
time l saw him but he was def
nitely under the influence of
beer.
A certain group of Boy Scouts,
ages assumed to be from IL up,
were drinking beer to the extent
that some of them had to be
helped into the bus.
On previous occasions at this
ball park, children have been
playing tag in the grandstand
during the progress of a game,
(which is very annoying to the
paying fans that support this ac-
tivity, and dangerous pastime
for the children involved.
! 1t would seem a minor detail
for the officials responsible to
provide at least one policeman
to be on duty at scheduled
game if only for the influence it
would have on the children.
Parents cannot accomplish much
with the children in the home
if outside controls are not inn
plemented. The proof of this sit
uation is public knowledge.

through its secretary. Kermit

To the City Commissioners,

Gentlemen:
At its meeting on Wednesday,
October 29th, 1947, the Key West
Junior Chamber of Commerce
went on record as strenuously
obiecting to: the change in loca-
ton of the voting places for the
Fourth and Sixth Precincts.
AS you know, It is the goal of
the Junior Chamber of Com
merce to get every qualified per-
son out to vote: We feel that due
to the lack Of transportation,
these changes will inconvenience
the majority of voters in these
two Precincts to the extent that
a much smaller number of vot-
ers will be.->&ble% to reach the
poles, thus defeating our goal
and the goal of every right
thinking American.
We trust that you will recon
slider this matter.
Yours very truly,

BY Marquis Childs

reprint from the Detroit Free
Press)
WASHINGTON could be a
story about a miracle. 1t could be
the story of how, miraculously at
the 18th hour, Congress relented
and agreed to admit within our
borders part of the human trag-
edy tagged as displaced persons.
But the chances for that miracle
are SO slight that it can be written
off. In the final reckoning, this
failure may stand out above all the
other sins of omission in the first
session of the 80th Congress.
To the rest of the world, it is a
sign that we are unwilling to play
part in clearing up the wreck
age of the war. 1t is sign of our
fear and suspicion. 1t is a confess
sion that the great past, when this
great land was a refuge for the
prosecuted and the oppressed, is
no more.
Our failure is related directly and
Immediately to the tensions that
are growing throughout the world.
Action by the United States would
have relieved tensions elsewhere.
AS result of the folly of British
in Palestine, that whole area is
now the center of an increasingly
bitter feud. In reply to our criti-
cism, the British can point out that
we have done nothing to relieve
the pressure of the 100000 or
more refugees who are living in a
kind Of purgatory between the hell
of the Nazi persecution and of the
war and the hope of another life.
Actually, of course, there is little
relation between our failure and
the desperate, harried Jews seek
ing admission to what they feel is
their homeland. Suveys made in
the displaced-persons camps have
shown that Ia large percentage of
Jews want to go to Palestine and
nowhere else but Palestine.
Nevertheless, we should examine
our own failure and the reasons

OUR FAILURE TO THE DPS

, for it. Only against a background
of self-criticism have we a right
to criticize others.
To begin with, most Congress
men had little knowledge as to who
the displaced pesons were, why they
would not 60 home and what the
real problem was. When Rep. Will
liam G. Stratton of Illinois intro
duced his bill to admit 100000 of
the DPS a year, the first reaction
was one of indifference compound
ed with ignorance.
Thus, the refugees from the Bal
tic states are those who refuse to
surrender their beliefs, as they
| would have to do, if they returned
to their homeland, now under con-
troll of the Soviet Union.
The hearings showed, too, how
wide was the support of this Bill
Both Catholic and Protestant groups
urged passage of the measure. 1t
was brought out that about 70 per
cent of the DPS are Roman Gothic
lies.
Yet with all this organized sup
port, reluctant members of Con-
gress have dragged their feet. Part
of the explanation is simple Keno
phobia-fear of the foreigner.
But there is a deeper and related
reason. 1t found expression in the
/ opposition of the American Legion
to the Stratton Bill.
This opposition is based on the
belief that we must take care of
our own-housing and jobs for our
veterans. 1t rests on the convic-
ton that America can no longer
expand; that we must hoard what
we have and divide it among our
selves.
This happens, of course, to be
directly opposite to the philosophy
of infinite greatness and infinite
expansion that led us to welcome
wave after wave of immigrants to
our shores.
Rep. Stratton has not given up.
He believes Congress has come a
lot nearer to understanding the dis
placed persons. A House commit
