here-worse than 1916" said
Mr.. Elwood. 'The storm-tide

and covered the trolley tracks

ing under that tree during part
of the hurricane" he said "The
force Of the wind was hard to
believe. Big planks were fly
ing around in the air like
straw. Pine cones came shoot
ing out of those trees like
buckshot."
The next spring the brothers
spent some weeks with their
launch towing the storm-shat-
tered timber down the river
to the old Farnsworth log
boom. BY this time most of
the sap layers of the wood had
begun to rot but the heart pine
was still prime for lumber. But
only a part of the timber could
be salvaged, and a number
of mills never recovered from
this blow.
"Its hard for the younger
generation to appreciate what
Pascagoula was like in the old
days when IL was still Seran-
ton, and there were boats on
the river from ports all over
the world. There were schoon-
ers, barks, brigs-every rig a
float. They had ports near the
bows so that the timber could
be slowed lengthwise with the
ship, and boats sailed out of
here, some of them loaded al
most to the gunwales, with
beams of heart pine that prob
ably went into buildings in
cities all over the world"

The Senate's debate over whether or not
to confirm the appointment of David f. Lii
enthal as chairman of the United States
atomic energy commission is in many re-
spects the most important issue that ever
concerned the upper chamber since the very
first session of Congress more than a century
and a half ago. Decisions to go to war and to
make peace have been of tremendous import
ance in the past. Each vote for a declaration
of war involved the sacrifice of hundreds of
thousands of lives. But now the Senate is
dealing with an issue which affects not thous-
ands, or even millions but the whole human
race. II has become commonplace knowledge
even to the imam on the street" that civili-
cation cannot survive an atom bomb war.
From time to time news has leaked out that
scientists nave developed atomic material
which would make the bombs dropped on
Japan seem like firecrackers. The existence
of bombs with a killing range of 200 miles has
been implied by a number of authoritative
people. This time, mankind is playing the
game of war 'for keeps" The simple fact is
as every man with any intelligence, and
simple love of life well knows, that there can
never be another war on earth If man is to
survive. These are some of the stupendouS
issues which the senate faces in its debate
over the appointment of David E. Lilienthal
to be chairman of the nations atomic COM
mission. This matter has never got the big
headlines, but compared to it, the question
of whether or not taxes will be cut, or
whether President Truman will run for re-
election, are issues of minor Importance. This
country will run along all right whether we
have a little man in the White House named
Truman or another little man named Taft or
Vandenburg. 1t will get along all right, and
live at peace with its %neighbors in a difficult
century, if a good man is at the head of its
atomic authority. But if cheap politics dictates
the appointment of our atomic chairman, it
is obvious that we will be placing the future
of our country and the destiny of mankind
in the hands of the worst political element
in our country. And if we do that, the worst
will happen. Sooner or later-after a cam
paign of lies, propaganda, and fake patriotism
those bombs will go off in the world. And
the day that happens, we shall have sealed
the doom of our nation, our descendants, and
our species.
Perhaps some of our readers will be in
clined to think why. it cannot be as
serious as all that" If there are those who
believe this. we pray to God that they are
right and we are wrong. And yet we be-
lieve it is dangerous to assume that the
atomic issue really isn't so very serious
after all. This country is used to the cheap
est sort of politics and "log-rolling' in the
appointment of judges, commissioners. de-
partment heads and so forth in the world
Of Washington politics. We believe it is
dangerous for our people to assume that we
can select our atomic administrator on
these same principles. When we do that,
we are letting the worst element in our
national character write the ticket on our
future.
