A Short Short Story

"E COULD hear them sometimes in his
LII sleep. They would pass right over the
house, taking off from Hinman Field near by,
and his paws would begin to twitch, and as
the sound of the engines grew louder his toe
nails would scratch faster and faster on the
hardwood floor and he would make an eager
whimpering noise in his throat. And then for
moment the roar overhead would seem to
shake the entire house, and he would lift his
head suddenly. and open his eyes, and stare
emptly at the darkness as they faded away
and away into the night.
He had lived all his life within the sound of
airplane engines. He had first seen the light
OF day. one of six squirming pups. in an empty
ammo box in the crew chiefs shack down on
the line. His mother was collie and belonged
to the crew chief, who always insisted she was
part full-blooded. He never saw his father,
but he must have been Pomeranian of some
kind. because he alone of the litter was born

the fuel line, on the way back from Formosa,
and Bill went over the side with Slips clasped
firmly under one arm. When they were picked
up an hour later, Slips was sitting in the
inflated rubber raft and Bill was padding
alone in the water, clinging to the side Some
of the maintenance men made him leather
collar with his name spelled out in copper
rivets and an imitation Flying Cross hanging
from metal ring, and the Colonel presented
it to him in formal ceremony one afternoon
after mess
HE sound of airplane engines would always
bring back those long steamy afternoons, and
the smell of cigars and hair tonic and shoe
dublin and sweat, and the shuttle and snap of
playing cards in the hot Quonset hut. He
owned the Quonset, of course. He would burst
through the door and scamper heedlessly
down the line of cots. leaping from naked
chest to naked chest. leaving wake of ours
ing pilots and scattered poker hands and beer
cans upset on blankets as he made final
spring and landed on the table where Bill was
writing letter to his wife. Excuse blots
Helen, Slips just upset inkwell'
He wrote her every day. and he always
mentioned Slips. Dear Helen, This letter
will have to be short Slips chewed up all the
writing paper" >. Slips sends his love.
darling, he's promised to look out for you if
anything ever happens"
Or sometimes, at night, the drone of the
engines would recall another afternoon when
he lay cwled on a folded parachute in the
ready-room. waiting for Bill to get back from
mission he was flying alone mot this time.
Slips. This is going to be a tough one"

WE here in the Islands have
much to do. Many are the
grave and important problems,
and it would be well if
everyone, those who lead and
those who follow, would adj
dress himself to the tasks about
us all. Good, healthy criticism
goes with true freedom. So,
that if tomorrow we saw the
need to criticize the Governor
or his staff or anyone else, we
would not for one moment
hesitate. However, in keeping

make a serious effort to see

The Right To Criticize

iHs FN9nt 10 (rItIcLze
The LAST few days have seen a mild fare-up between
the Legislatures of the Islands and the Administration. # start
ed when Acting Governor de Castro criticized the ST Crox
Legislature for a bit of legislation passed, in connection with
the Retirement Law, and was followed by a letter charoino
the absence OF certain pictures in the United Nations report
The subject matter of these quarrels is not important. what
seems more significant is the fact that there is a basic misun-
Outstanding as to the unquestioned rights of the several de-
partmentS of government. s
WHILE THE Constitution specifically sets out a division
OF separation.of powers, it is fully established that the right Of
criticism, & differing with other departments is Just as sacred
as any other right. When Congress passed the
bill and sent it to the White House, President Truman vetoed
it with his criticisms and objections. Then the Congress struck
right back and passed the bill over his veto. In that case each
department had a perfect right to do what it did. And the
same holds true when some bit of legislation comes before a
court for review and Interpretation. The court criticizes, and
either upholdS or declares unconstitutional, the measure be-
tore it, as it sees fit. But in no instance is one branch of the
government considered dictatorial simply because it criticizes
another branch. There is a sharp and indeed very distinct diff
ference between criticism and interference. In the Retirement
Act juust passed, the St. Crox Legislature had to send it to
the Acting Governor for his signature. At this point the Act
ing Governor had a perfect right, by virtue of his office, to
accept or reject the bill, and in addition to applaud or crit
CHE, as he saw fit. In fact, it is by far the better procedure
that an executive submit his criticism when he yetoes a bill,
or permit it to become law without his signature.
WE BELIEVE that the people Of these islands are more
and more becoming conscious of the workings Of the true de-
mocratic process, and that as time passes such minor flare-ups
as was seen recently will not be necessary. Nor should good
logic permit anyone to say that the fact that the Governor
comes to the rescue Of his staff is clear indication that he
