We refer to the annual toll of
broken necks and injured spines
brought about by youngsters,
and adults too, diving from the
pavilion platform into shallow
waters. Many persons, service
men from Keesler Field and
others, make use of the pier dur
ing the summer months. They
are not familiar with the water
depths, and the rise and fall
of the tide, and the dangers of
diving at low tide. II would be
a simple, and relatively mex
pensive undertaking. for the
city government to place stakes
a short distance out in the wa

park the depth of the water at

nieipal pier and certainly the
saving of a life or the preven-
ton of a permanent injury to
one or more youngsters would
be worth the hundred or so

BEEF EATERS HAVE BEEF

New Delhi, India-AP-Beef
eaters in India are trying to re-
member the taste. The central
government has created a cattle
preservation committee to study
whether slaughter of beef cattle
should be prohibited. Cows are
sacred in India.
The riot-caused exodus of Mo
hammedens from large cities has
left few persons willing to slaugh-
ter beef. Those who remain do not
want to invite trouble by butcher
ing cattle.
Most beef served in public
places here now is ancient frozen
army surplus, not much on flavor
and texture, but nevertheless

to abolish the use of initial cap

Danish and German are the
only languages in which all

The minister has no jurisdica-

Danes stop the practice. The only
thing he can do is to issue a de-

The state House of Repre-
sentatives has given its okay
to a proposed constitutional
amendment which would re-
quire citizens to prove good
moral character to an election
official before being allowed to
vote. The proposed amend
ment is both ridiculous and
dangerous and we hope more
mature judgment in the state
Senate. where II now goes for
action, will kill it promptly and
embhatically. Proponents of
the bill say that it is designed
to prevent the negro from vot-
ing. This would be accomplish

House floor, because most ne

Such reasoning, in the first
place, should be morally sick

in the second place it shows a
latent fear and sense of inse-
curity that is puzzling. White
supremacy is, additionally.

disagree with politicians who
happen to be in power.
It is also puzzling as to why
the House had to go into execu-
tive session and bar the press
and all spectators during final
debate on the bill. If these
gentlemen believed that this is
a good bill, and believed their
reasoning sound, why should
they fear publicity? Il seems,
to the contrary. that they would
want the folks back home TO

they barred the press and spec

be that a political joker is hid

Colorful Saga
OF Whaling Is
Running Out
BY billiard A. SCHENDoRF
Alp Newsfeatures

Elizabeth, N. 1.-THE colorful
saga of American whaling is
running out in a New Jersey
oil port.
The SIS. Anglo Morse, a far
cry from the tall masted whal-
r that sailed out of Nantuck-
ct, has brought in its annual
load of sperm oil.
It's $4,000 barrels of the only
sperm oil coming into the Unit
ed States is worth S5.000.000.
This will mean $4,000 in shares
to each of the Morse seamen
who yer at sea for 10 months.
The modern whaler is the
mother ship to a fleet of seven
fast killer boats, 10000 foot,
200 tonners which made their
own way back to Norway af-
ter the whaling was done.
No longer do stout sailormen
pull the oars of long boats. as
a man poises in the bow to
drive home a harpoon by hand.
The killer boats fire 200-pound
harpoons. with shrapnell-like
charges in the head.
Chief Officer Jacob Knud-
stadt of the Anglo Morse says
the expedition worked off the
coast of Peru, where sperm
whale is found in families of
two or three in large "flocks."
"The killer boats" he says,
"are supplied to stay away for
a week at a time. All that time,
a lookout stays in the crows
nest"
When a sperm whale is sight
ed blowing in the distance. the
cry is BLAST" the rough Morse
equivalent of: thar she blows"
Where away" sings the Of
ficer on watch.
"Off the starboard bow" the
lookout may call down.
The high-powered killer boat
leaps forward.
Sometimes we have to track
a whale for hours" recalls
Knudstadt. But they have to
come up for air, and every time
one comes up, the killer boat
is after it."
Sperm whale can stay down
for as long as an hour.
Eventually. the killer boat
comes within range. Then the
gunner in the bow fires a ZOO
pound harpoon. with its ex-
plosive nose.
The whale may dive. but
eventually is pulled to the sur
face with a power winch. An
other harpoon. and still anofh-
er-each with a rose of dYna-
mite-is fired into il. until it
is killed.
If the boat is in a school of
whales, and there are others in
sight, the huge body is pumped
up with compressed air to keep
it afloat, and a bamboo pole
with the pennant of the killer
boat is posted on it.
Then the boat radios the
mother ship, and a tow boat
picks up the prize.
Sink one of our boats?" says
Knudsfadt. "One of those big
whales could crush the side.
even of a l~30-footer. but they
never have"
However. the thrashing
whales sometimes tear away
the propeller or rudder.
Knudstadt exploded the pop
ular belief that in ambergris
there is a fortune.
Zone time, a five pound piece
of it was worth a half million
(Norweigian) crowns" he said.
A crown is worth 20 cents.
But they've developed syn
thetics for perfumes, now. 1t
