said. 1T is against the law to do
SO. Anyone caught doing. so is

to throw back into the ocean
any they don't want than it is to

COUGH UP!

The Citizen, in common with newspa-
pers throughout the United States, APP
plauded congress when it passed law
prohibiting portal-to-partal payments and
thereby squashing scores of suits of that
nature which had been instituted in fed
eral courts.
But congressman squirmed and side
stepped when similar matter hit at their
pocketbooks. They collect from the gov
eminent 20 cents mile each way when
they go back to their homes and return
to Washington. If they travel by train or
in their automobiles, the cost will be con-
siderably under five cents a mile, yet they
gouge 20 cents out of Uncle Sam.
That's a portal-to-portal handout,
milking the government of money in the
guise of expenses, three-quarters of which
are not incurred.
The Associated Press reported that, on
Wednesday, members of the House of
Representatives "applauded but rejected
a proposal that they make little sacri-
flee" by giving up their customary mile
age allowances"
In view of the increase of salaries of
congressman this year by $4,000, exempt
from income tax, and an extra $4,000 for
expenses, one would have thought that, in
the interest of governmental economy
house members would have readily ac-
coded to the proposal to forego the collec-
ton of that 20 cents mile in going to and
from their homes for the Christmas and
New Years holidays. But not SO; they APP
plauded the proposal and then defeated
it by standing vote of 143 to q.
Hurrah! Dandy, dandy! It's in accord
ance with the Christmas spirit of-gettng
all we can! Away with portal-to-portal
pay, but as for us-cough up that 20 cents
a mile!

MONOGRAPH
u. s. TROOPS FOR PALESTINE?

Already there is speculation as to the
military contribution that the United
States will make if called upon by the
United Nations to help enforce a settle
--ment in Palestine.
: Military authorities say that air sup
port might be comparatively easy mat
ter because the Air Force is stretching to
its full strength goal, but that to send any
7 soldiers would strip domestic garrisons
Z Most of our forces overseas are pinned
down by occupation duties and no appre-
-ciable number could be withdrawn from
Europe or Japan for policing the Middle
East.
We have no idea whether the United
Nations will call upon the United States
flor soldiers, or not. We express the opin-
lion, however, that the people of this coun-
-try will not take kindly to the loss of
american lives in any fighting that may
follow the effort to establish homeland
~for the Jews in Palestine.
y If the Arabs surprise the international
experts who attempt to implement the
partition and put on full-scale military
campaign, involving heavy fighting and
"serious loss of life, the American officials
who SO glibly accepted the obligation and
responsibility will hear from the people
of this country in rather positive terms

"UNDEMOCRATIC"

The effort of various minorities to put
over the idea that it is undemocratc for
any group of Americans to restrict men,
bership is meeting with some opposition.
Recently, in New York, David EN-
bury took the position, in public address,
that fraternities have "the democratic
right to place racial and religious re-
strictions on their memberships and as
serted that college administrators did not
have the right to dictate" to campus
fraternities about their membership re-
strictions.
There has been great deal of care
less thinking on this subject in the United
States. Certainly, if members of minor
ity group have the right to form an asso-
citation for the purpose of their own bene-
fit, they have no right to object to the for
nation OF similar groups by any collection
of individuals for any similar purpose
We have reached the stage in the
United States where the majority of the
population is unorganized but constantly
assailed by aggressive and, to a large ex-
tent, selfishly directed organizations. If
the process continues unchecked, the time
will come when the nation will be run for
the benefit of a collection of minorities
and the vast majority of tn people of the
country will not have the rights that the
minorities have acquired for themselves.
While we have no sympathy with ra-
cial or religious prejudices, there are &C.
casions when every race and every
religion has the right to organize along
strictly racial or religious lines. In add-
ton, individuals have right to organize
along any lines which seem essential to
them. So long as they do not conspire to
injure others, there is nothing basically
wrong with the association.

DANGEROUS DECORATIONS

The Christmas holiday season. with
trees, decorations and candles, will be cell
ebrated in Key West, but it is very i'm
portant for all of us to understand the
danger that comes from the use of inflam-
mable decorations
Christmas lights should be checked.
before being used again. The lights should
be switched off when the house is vacated.
All other decorations should be carefully
used and fire extinguishers or a water
supply should be instantly available.
We know there are many who will
read this article with a smile, but if it
causes one parent to do something that
prevents fire and the possible loss of
life, it will be worth writing.

ANNIVERSARY

- The anniversary of the attack upon
Pearl Harbor passed with relatively little
attention on the part of the people of the
United States.
This is just as we'll. Certainly, there
seems to be no reason for us to carry out
the suggestion, made a few years ago,
that the anniversary of the attack become
a national holiday. ...,
Regardless of many factors that tend
to excuse the defenders of the island from
being taken by surprise, the fact is that
the nation was stunned by the disaster.
Moreover, the enemy acquired a consid-
cradle control over vast areas of the Pa
cific as result of the catastrophe.
