Waterway Plan
Told KiWanis

W. r.. Guest, Jr.. presided at
Tuesdays meeting of the Pasca-
goula KiWanis club at which Ed
ward A. Khayat, president of
the Pascagoula-Mos Point Cham
Der of Commerce, explained plans
for the proposed Pat Harrison
Waterway"
The speaker used a sketch of
the Pascagouia river system in
explaining the plan to open the
Pascagoula, Leaf. and Chickasa-
hav rivers to barge transporta-
ton. He pointed out that the oil
boom, now underway in South
eastern Mississippi, made the de-
velopment feasible.
He also announced that the
funds for the first survey had
been allowed and the survey ap-
proved.
Mr.. Khayat stressed that the
plan was not new but had been
conceived well before the turn of
the century and had been pushed
by the late Pat Harrison, when
he first became a member of Con-
gress in 1911.
The project was disapproved
in 1915 because the end of the
timber supply was in sight, the
fertilizer plant at Hattiesburg
too small, and no warehouses ex-
listed for cotton in Pascagoula's
port, he said.
He stressed that public interest
is an important factor in the drive
FOR the funds.
The speaker was introduced by
H. P. Heidelberg, who had w. B.
Herring as his guest.

Stealing an Election

A revealing post-mortem on stolen
election is now being conducted in Kansas
City, Missouri. And the facts which are
being uncovered should be of more than
passing interest to the American people.
The story had its beginning last July
when President Truman announced his
support in the fifth Missouri congressional
district of man named Axtell. Ills first
name was Enos, but the President could
not remember it at the momentJ Also
supporting Mr.. Axtell was the malodorous
Pendergast machine and the Political
Action Committee of the CIO, which, is
against political machines in places like
Virginia and Tennessee, but which is not
places like Kansas City.
With this impressive array of backers
Mr.. Axtell defeated the incumbent Repre-
sentative Roger Slaughter in the Demo-
cratic primary. In the general election,
however, Mr.. Axtell was defeated by the
Republican candidate.
The seeming triumph in the primary
brought from Democratic Chairman Han
negan the comment that the voters OF
ton to many of the policies of President
Truman and the late Franklin D. Roose-
velt had relegated him to the political
aShcan But newspaper the Kansas City
Star was struck by such remarkable pro-
Axtell and anti-Slaughter precinct votes
as $50, 800 and 145-1. The newspaper
investigated and turned up convincing
evidence of fraud.
The Department of Justice, looking into
this mess with something less than cru
sading enthusiasm, found no violations of
Federal law. But Kansas City grand
Jury going into the matter more thor
oughly, concluded that Mr.. Slaughter had
been robbed in the Democratic primary
by deliberate, calculated and prenedi-
tated plan to miscount and otherwise steal
votes" The grand jury returned 81 indict-
ments against II suspects in the voting
fraud. And now comes the credul1ty-
taxing announcement that professional"
thieves have looted the vaults of the
Kansas City Election Commission and
stolen the ballots upon which the grand
jurys findings of fraud were based
This leaves unravelled a scandal which
reaches from the Pendergast machine,
through the CIO-PAC, to Washington it
self. 1t may be that the theft of the in
eliminating ballots precludes any final fix
ing of responsibility for what happened in
the Democratic primary in Missouris fifth
district. But the least that can be done by
the President and his Attorney General
is to exhaust every means at their COM
mand to get to the bottom Of Missouri'S
stolen election ae. -.,....

Mr.. Stassen and Supreme Court

To the Editor of The Ear:
Mr.. Stassen says that II do not consider
it to be in keeping with the dignity or
the standing or the teachings OF my great
religious denomination (Baptisb to attack
a decision of the Supreme Court after 1t
is made" One would almost be inclined to be-
lieve that Mr.. Stassen would consider attacks
upon the Supreme Court to be entirely IN keep
ing with the teachings of his great religious
denomination, provided they were attacks upon
decisions not yet made. This, obviously, would
involve priori interference with the Court.
However, if we interpret Mr.. Stassen's state
ment as indicative of his objection to criticism
and attack with regard to Supreme Court de-
cisions, it is pertinent to quote from speech
by Abraham Lincoln with regard to the Dred
Scott decision: 1T was made by divided
court = We think the Dred Scott decision
was erroneous. We know the court that made
1t has often overruled its own decisions, and we
shall do what we can to have 1t overrule this"
Lincoln noted, of course, that under certain
conditions it might be factious, may, even
revolutionary not to acquiesce in Supreme
Court decision as a precedent. He specified the
several conditions, none of which, according to
his convictions, had been complied with. Some
of these undoubtedly apply to the case in ques-
ton (the fact that the Court often has over
ruled itself the fact that the decision was not
unanimous the fact that there has not been
previous affirmation and reaffrmation). Ac-
cordingly, Lincoln quite correctly remarked:
1T is not factious it is not even disrespectful.
to treat it as not having yet quite established
a settled doctrine for the country F**
In a recent decision Justice Douglas declared:
Judges are supposed to be men of fortitude.
able to thrive in a hardy climate" Let us be-
ware of President who would lead the people
in favoring state of affairs in which judges
would be permitted to languish amidst decisions
because, for one reason or another, it would
be indignifed to criticize them.

Improving the Teachers Bill

1t is unfortunate that teachers were not
consulted more freely in the preparation
of the compromise teachers pay bill re-
ported to the Senate yesterday Had their
advice been sought in the final drafting
Of the measure it is likely that better
bill would have emerged from the COM
mittees. For, although the teachers seem
to be generally satisfied with the overall
detectives of the measure, some of their
leaders feel that some slight changes in
phraseology would eliminate several flaws.
For example, a question has been raised
as to whether enactment of this new legis-
lation would SuperSede certain provisions
for tenure security contained in the basic
1906 Teachers Act. The teachers have
been assured that the old act would not
be affected, but they point out that unless
the bill specifically retains the security
rights it might be subject to misinterpreta-
ton in the future. The 1945 pay act was
specific in this regard and similar language
could easily be inserted in the new BILL
Something should be done, furthermore,
for the veteran, competent teachers who,
though lacking a masters degree, have
superior ratings regarded as the equivalent
of masters degree. Yet these teachers
would not receive equivalent treatment
under the pending bill. Should they be
Disseminated against when they have
rendered long and efficient service at a
time when masters degrees were not
required fer advancement? And teachers
already at the top Of their salary class
SHOULD be allowed an increment, just as
those with less seniority are allowed it.
The wording of the new statute also
should be explicit regarding the avowed
intent of the drafters of the bill to permit
teachers to better themselves not only
through in-Service courses established by
the Board of Education but through at
tendance at accredited outside inStitu-
tons The teachers, moreover feel that the
bill should specify that at least six months
advance notice be given of whatever OBJ
jective standards may be established for
qualifying under the upgrading provisions
of the bill.
All of these suggestions may seem to
have relatively minor significance to men,
bers of Congress, but to the teachers
affected they are of major Importance.
1t would not take much rewriting of the
bill on the floor to incorporate the revi-
sions. There can be no doubt that the
bill would thus be considerably improved
and-more important than that-the peace
of mind and morale of the teachers would
be vastly benefited.

Ridiculinq q Tragedy

The funny business which attended the
pigeonholing by the Senate District Com
mittee of the bill to require scientific tests
in suspected drunken driving cases was
uncalled for and in very poor taste.
Families and friends of the 1859 persons
who were injured and the two who were
killed last year in drunken driving acci-
dents are not likely to see any humor in
the proposal to strengthen the safeguards
against alcoholic driving.
The handling of the bill earlier by a
of Rhode Island was chairman was in
marked contrast to the cursory treatment
1t received when 1t went before the main
committee hearing the subcommittee
Endorsement. The subcommittee viewed
the measure in a serious light, as 1t de-
serves to be viewed. The bill has the
earnest support of the Commissioners.
Police Department, Traffic Bureau and
other agencies and officials concerned with
public safety. Yet when the measure
reached the full committee, it precipitated
a discussion as to how it would affect
man who can drink a quart of whisky
day. "stay half -soused" and "still do a
normal days work" This was topped off
by jingle to the effect that "a drunk is
he who PROSTATE lies" etc.
When, in more sober vein, the bill was
criticized as requiring a person to testify
against himself" the committee voted four
to three against reporting the measure
The same objection could be. raised to
requiring an arrested person to reveal his
name or submit to fingerprinting. AS a
matter of fact, four States already have
laws compelling suspected drunken drivers
to submit to chemical tests and similar
legislation is pending in number of other
States.
1t may well be that some persons can
stay half-soused and still do normal days
work, but half-soused driver cannot
function normally in a drivers seat He
is menace to himself and to the COM
munity. If the Senate District Committee
will take enough time to give serious
thought to this problem it will reconsider
its ill-advised action of Tuesday and report
the Hebert bill favorably to the Senate
where it can be fully debated.

Nicuruquu BucksIides

There is an old Latin American custom
known as Eel golpe de cuartel," literally
translated as "a hit from the barracks"
1t means violent taking over by the army
against the legally established government,
thereby differing from the other type of
revolution, when embattled "outs" force
fully eXpel the "ins"-army and all.
With the coming of increased efficiency
to Latin American lands, outside" revolu-
tions are becoming rarer, because the army
is better able to crush insurgent forces. 1t
had been hoped that this would spell the
establishment of truly democratic processes
through fair and orderly elections which
the army would sustain. In some Latin
American countries, however, the army
has become an almost irresistible instru
ment in the hands of dictator.
That is what has just happened in
Nicaragua. When the United States sent
the Marines into Nicaragua, two decades
ago, to clean up an almost anarchic situa-
ton, they trained national guard to keep
order after they left the scene. This
highly efficient organization was presently
commanded by a capable and ambitious
parsonage named Anastasio Somoza, who
got himself elected President and stayed
in power for ten years.
AS usually happens in such cases, accu-
mulated grievances made it advisable for
the aStute Somoza to retire to the wings,
placing in his stead a hand-picked candl-
date who would function in the presidential
chair. General Somoza's choice was a
dignified old gentleman, one DR.. Arguello,
who was duly elected about month ago
However. it seems that the new President
took himself somewhat seriously and began
to act on his own. Hence drastic action by
the Somoza dominated national guard
who deposed Arguello as being ''incom-
petent" because he failed to maintain
public order" The armyS action has been
ratified by an obedient Congress, which
has installed a provisional President
named Sacasa, to function until new
elections can be held
One thing has to be said: 1t was as neat
an army Job as ever was pulled in Latin
America. There was a minimum of gun
fire. almost no bloodShed. and humane
treatment for the deposed President and
his supporters who were permitted to
take sanctuary in foreign legations, whence
they will go into exile
Nevertheless, this thinly camoufiaged
return to power of General Somoza is
evoking strong protests from other Latin
American nations and is known to be
viewed with deep disfavor by our State
Department. While anything savoring of
unilateral intervention on our part Is ruled
