 Walker Setback
 Walker suffered another setback in defeat of his bill to give mem bers of the Unemployment Com pensation Commission a free hand in setting the rate of pay of the Director of that agency That mea- sure was killed when fears were oppressed that pay for the job might be pitched all out of pro- portion to other Territorial offices somewhere up around Sl5,OO0 or Sl8,000 year.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-12-01
NOT OWNERS

Some Key Westers wondered why the
Weather Bureau did not forecast the
short-live storm that struck Key West at
1855 o'clock Friday afternoon.
Bureau personnel are human beings
just the same as the rest of us. They have
no way of divining anything The blow
in question was freak storm that formed
in the northwest not far from Key West.
Scores of Key Westers, according to infor-
nation given The Citizen, saw the dense
black clouds forming in the northwest
about half an hour or so before the winds
struck the city. That was the only warn
ing given by the storm, and the bureau
already had issued its noon weather fore
cast.
hurricane or any other type of storm
can be determined only after it has form
ed. AS we'll ask the bureau to warn us that
hurricane is going to begin at this or that
location, or hurricane is going to turn
loose tOrnadOeS, as the hurricane that
passed near Dry Tortugas late last Sep
TENDER did when it neared the mainland.
Grady Norton, Miami weather man,
Sald tnat, IN all or ms experience, ne had
never heard of hurricane similar to that
one, with its tornadoes and it's terrific
thunderstormS.
The United States Weather Bureau
receives weather reports from all over the
world, and weather forecasts are based on
those reports. Naturally, no report of the
freak Friday storm reached Key West be-
cause the Bureau personnel could not
know anything about it before it had form
ed. After that. the bureau could deter
mine the way it was travelling, as the bu-
reau did, and could report it's intensity,
with little likelihood of its increasing or
diminishing. In that instance, the bureau
said it was diminishing, which turned out
to be correct.

DO YOUR SHOPPING AT HOME

The families of Key West are begin
ming their Christmas shopping, consider
ing the purchases that must be made for
the holiday season.
We take this opportunity of suggesting
to all buyers that they give local mer-
chants an opportunity to supply their
wants. The best that can be expected is
that those who live in Key West will in
spect local stocks before thinking about
spending their money elsewhere.
Trading at home is form of civic
loyalty that pays dividends. 1t is one way
for every citizen to make a contribution
to the business interests that support local
institutions and give employment to local
people. If all of us would resolve to buy
at home, SO far as possible, the result
would be noticeable.
The lure of buying something cheap
often fools buyers but price is not the
only guide to intelligent spending. OF
course, given equal values, the buyer is
naturally going to spend his or her money
where the price is cheaper. That is the
rule followed by successful merchants in
purchasing the goods they sell and there
is nothing against it.
However, local merchants are entitled
to a chance to sell you what you want at
price you can afford. They are not en-
titled to charge you more for the same
goods than reliable merchants elsewhere.
We feel sure that our merchants can meet
competition and that their stocks are
ample to offer you variety in selection.
Buyers should never forget the saying
that no matter how cheap you make an
article, there is always somebody else who
can make an inferior product and sell it
for less. In fact, beware of "juSt as good"
merchandise. 1t is economy to buy recog-
nized values, that stand up under use and
have behind them the guarantees that
none but local merchants can supply

NOT UP TO F.B.I.

Commissioner Clifford j. Durr, of
the Federal Communications Commits
sion, does a good deed. in denouncng the
practice of the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigatiOn for making "unsolicited reports
on individuals" in Federal employment
Mr.. Durr says that the reports of pri-
vate information are often "baseless Cos
SIP" but j. Edgar Hoover defends the ac-
tivities of his agency, calling the reports
vital part of the FBI's work
Let's look over this contention. If ev-
erybody who works for the government
must pass the scrutiny of the FBI the eff
feet will be to give Mr.. Hoover and his
miniOns the right to remove anybody. This
would be an absurdity and represent un-
usual dictatorial power in minor Federal
bureau.
One does not impugn the motives of
Mr.. Hoover, or his bureau. 1t is unneces-
sary to do SO in connection with SUPPORT
ing the position. of Mr. Durr. The patent
fact is that what Mr.. Hoover NAV think
of the thinking and activity of emnloves
Is not the test to be applied in demo-
cratic country.

THE MEYERS MESS

+. Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers makes
somewhat sorry picture as he reveals
the details of his wartime activity be-
fore the Senate subcommittee Investigate
ing war profits.
The officer seems to have taken care
of himself while other Americans were
fighting. He also had an eye out for
his friends male and female.
The lurid details should not mislead
anyone into believing that he was, or
is, typical example of officer-conduct
during a. great war, despite the several
decorations that he was awarded.
The suspicion that there are other,
and undiscovered, heroes of the same
type, however, should be removed from
the public mind, even if it takes general
inquiry into the conduct and profits of
desk-warriors and their friends.
