After the 50th article I phoned my
bank, asked for my balance, and
said to myself that to maintain any
balance I must Immediately depart
from the peninsula OF thieves and
robbers.
AS most of the men who de-
scribed my home State as place
too costly for any one but the Aga
Khan, Irish sweepstakes winners, OF
as yet undetected counterfeiters,
were from New York City ! figured
my best bet would be New York
City. So, through connections, ]
managed to get half a seat on a
northbound bus and took OF for
the city of dreams.
Naturally, / didn't bring much
money with me. Why should !
when, by implication, writers had
described New York as place
where a man could live on a shoe
string?
Well, from here on out you are
listening to a disillusioned man.
Breakfast Cost IS Cents.
My first breakfast In Bagdad-orl-
the -Winchell was in a one-armed
establishment near the bus ter
minal. It was so proud of its eco
nomical breakfast that 1t had big
sign in the window advertising one
egg, toast and coffee-45 cents. The
egg couldn't have cost the owner
more than 5 cents, even II he had
made mistake and bought fresh
ones. The egg that got was part
Of a shipment which was on the way
to Australia when the war ended.
It's the only egg ! ever saw with
S o'clock shadow.
The piece of toast was an ordin-
ary piece of toasted bread brushed
once over lightly with an oily SUBJ
stance. I'll bet any living man, In
cluding Kyle Crichton, that I can get
better breakfast in any town in
Florida at the height Of the season
for less dough, plus grits.
After finishing this delicious
breakfast I could hardly wait fol-
lunch, which 7 had at one OF the
better places. A cup of soup. one
jelly omelet, one order of canned
lima beans, dessert and coffee, cost
me $500, exclusive of tips. Again,
challenge Mr.. Crichton to take me
anywhere in Miami where he won't
be able to buy me much better
lunch for at least cents less.
Visits Night Club.
When night, descended over the
city, I decided to investigate the
night clubs, which I had heard were
in a dreadful state. with proprietors
contemplating self-destruetion.
visited, six during the course Of tbs
evening, and my little nest ege
dwindled like Jordan almond in an

should have done something. His
torically, life has been cheap in the
mines. The operators have had po-
Iitical influence which they have not
hesitated to use-first, to block ade-
uuate safety laws and, second, to
obstruct the honest enforcement OF
those laws. Capt. COLLISION was not
Indifferent to this particular case.
as his letter indicated, but he was
altogether too soft. Either he or his
superior could have ordered the
mine closed until 1t was put In q
safe condition. He had grave duty
to perform and he failed In that
duty.
Miners Not to Blame.
The attempt in some quarters to
make it appear that the Centralia
miners themselves, or John L. Lewis,
are responsible for this disaster will
not stand up. Any reader Of my
columns must know how I have re-
garded Mr.. Lewis ruthless and die
tatorial behavior. But / am frank
to say that If I had been in his
shoes, would not have called the
men out. Under the doctrine OF the
Supreme Court in the recent Lewis
contempt Casa doctrine from
which have vigorously dissented-
there was more than an even chance
that, in such an event, another in
junction would have been issued
against John L. Lewis. II the Gen.
tralia miners were Federal en-
ployes-even il ghostlike ones-ac-
cording to this precedent they would
have been Federal employees If they
had stopped digging coal. OF course,
if Lewis haG called the men out on
account of unsafe mining conditions,
he would have saved Ill lives, but
no one would have believed that he
would have been doing this. He
would have been roundly condemned
from one end of the country to the
other, for selling upon trivial
excuse to show his contempt Of the
Supreme Court.
The question may again be raised
why the Navy was called In to do a
job in which 1t was totally lacking
in experience. The answer to that
is easy. Secretary Krug OF Interior
preferred to let somebody else carry
the responsibility and do the work
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder.
for some reason not known, wanted
the Navy to be in charge. Secretary
OF the Navy Forrestal did not have
the judgment to keep his brass hats
where they belonged, in jobs for
which they had been trained. And
President Truman, as usual, listened
to the opportunities of the inside
circle and turned the job over to the
Navy.
State Responsible, Teo.
There can be no doubt that Gov
ernor Dwight H. Green, Of Illinois,
was at least equally responsible with
Captain Collision for the sacrifice Of
these lives. Perhaps he was re-
sponsible to a greater degree, be-
cause he had all of the law on his
side that he needed and he had
earlier personal notice of the dan
gerous condition. 1t is interesting
that Governor Green is political
robot of the Republican boss OF 1lli-
nois, the more or less redoubtable
Colonel Robert r. Mccormick OF
the Chicago Tribune. Apparently
Governor Green's interest in safety
measures in Illinois mines was sec
ondary to his interest in collecting
campaign funds from Illinois opera

Russell w. Root as Mccormick s
