Dear Mother, Dad and
Folks:
First of all, where are the
letters? I know I'm guilty too.
All last week we went to con-
ference at Kijabe. We left a
week ago today.
Billy bumped his leg and a
large swelling came on it. He
got very sick and ran a high
fever. Bob prayed for him and
one night the fever broke and
he went to sleep. Praise the
Lord! He is wonderful! Pray
for me that I may realize His
loving kindness.

2. (ANP)-Ethiopia's position and
Importance as the greatest air hub
in East Africa has just been in
creased by the. opening of a new
air service known as Sultan Air
ways, Ltd.
Organized under the direct sup
ervision of the famous veteran
Negro American flyer, Col. John
C. Robinson, under the direction
and with the suppore Of the duke
of Harrar, Emperor Halle Selas-
sizes second son, the ned airline,
which is a purely private enter
prise, uses Douglas DC3s both of
passenger and cargo versions.
The inaugural regular flight was
made New Years day to Dire

and railway center about halfway
to Djibouti, sea terminus of the

Always, Ltd, have been opened
at 39-49 Churchill road in the cen
ter of Adds Ababa. The post Of

Commenting on the plans Of
the new air service, Col. Robin
son, who is general manager,
stated that at is our intention to
link the world by air with char
tered flights anytime, anywhere
and under any conditions with
freight or passengers or both. This
service is available on the short-
est notice to any place in the
world"
At present the new air line is
using veteran flyers who served in

After close observation of the
possibilities of the new air r
ice by this writer, it appears that
here is an excellent pportunity for
some of u air veterans of World
War ii to branch out into a
pioneering commercial aviation
venture. Ny observation reveals
that the airway might be inter-

nicians and radio operators and

ies are both legal and illegal, and the illegal structure governs the legal. Probably the FBI fears that dissolution of the legal body would destroy connections it has traced between it and the illegal groups. The law, however, does not exist for the convenience of the FEI, but the FBI for the convenience of the law.
 If inc former is admitted. we are on the way 10 a police state. the essence of which is that the police operate for a clique or on their own. The first of Communist lawlessne-s and violence IS not 10 be quenched by. fires of the sane nature. but by the waters of just law.

That's That
 By BRUCE GUSTIN

As proof that Henry Wallace's third party movement is Commun- iSt-backed, the House committee on un-American activities points to an official circular of the Com munist party of Georgia dated Jan. l, 1948. While this document denies the Wallace party will be controlled by Communists, it de- clares "the Communists will not be denied the privilege of helping the new party" and they will contribute their experience and devotion to the working class to this new party" When you add to that Wallace's announced will ingness to accept Communist sup port, there can't be any doubt that the Commies think he is playing their game and are backing him.
 The sixth circuit court of ap- peals at Cincinnati held recently that where a union is the recog- nized bargaining agent for group of workers, an employer cannot grant merit raises in pay to indi- viduals without first consulting the union. That decision certainly should be appealed to the United States supreme court. As Judge Simons contended, in dissenting opinion, "it is difficult to accept the concept that gratuitous in . creases based upon zeal and abil- ity are an unfair labor practice" Such concept is fantastic.
 President Truman's budget mes sage called for an appropriation of approximately II billion dollars for national defense. The Soviet trade-union paper-Trud - points to that as evidence the United | States is planning a war. If there ever was case of the pot calling the kettle black, this is it. Russia's armed forces budget totals more than 13 billions-over 2 billions more than the figure proposed for the United States.
 President Truman is trying to scare Congress into giving him po- lice state powers of rationing and price controls. He said in his sec ond annual economic report that American prosperity is riding "wave of imitation" toward the danger of serious" business slump. That boils down to a warn ing that we are headed for another depression. If we keep on talking depression, we may talk ourselves into one. A man can start in the morning feeling as fit as the pro- verbal fiddle. But, if a number of his acquaintances tell him he looks badly, it isn't long until he is feeling mighty low.
 , AS the President says, income, in the case of most wage-earners, has not kept up with prices. One cause l for that, which he doesn't men ton, is tax increases. The Ameri- can people are paying more for government than for food. On an

 chiefly two, stemming from Communists and liberals and the other from the mentality of the FB The first isthat Communists guaranteed freedom of activity by the constitution; the second that, if out llawed, the legal organization would go underground
 The first argument assumes that any knd of political activity has, under the constitution natural right That not LincOns interpretation. Nothing in the constitution prohibited secession Lincoln thought how ever, that preservation of the union was the of the constitution.
 A continually reaffirmed thesis of Communism is that it's objectives cannot be realized without ruthless vio fence within the framework of constitutional der It is counerthess that law cannot be invoked against promoters of such catastrophe? Law has been said is made by criminals First act damaging to the community is committed and then law is passed to prohibit its occurring again
 But what if overt acts by organization with which American group is subordnatey affiliated long have been projected and actually carried out in many other countries? Is it principle of law that it may not antic pate events? Actually conspiracy to commit certain acts is itself overt act That definite conspiracy ists and have existed for years to subvert all constu
 ona orders in the world and that the Amercan Com- munist party and its leading members have ben sciOusly allied with it, can be proved.
 Popular confusions arise concerning constitutional rights Rights guaranteed by state be guaranteed only within the framework of that state They cannot be detached from it, though they constitution in themselves which is what people would like to do with the bill of rights They aren't dssouble from the intent of the state that guarantees them The intent and purpose of the American constitution is formulated in the preamble . to form more perfect unon eStab- fish justice insure domestic tranquility provide for the common defense promote the general welfare and the blessings of liberty to ourselves and poster ity."
 Now comes an American movement a subordinate branch of an international movement which regards the national welfare ndisolube from and subservent to the welfare of the Soviet state; which conspres dis turb the domestic tranquility by cvl strife to substi- tute for the constitutional system Communist dicta- torshp of the proetaria to sabotage the de- fense under all circumstances unless the Soviet Union
 thereby served and to withdraw from the people all liberties, to be afterward granted withdrawn from ourselves and posterty according to the whim of dictatorship And the constitution demands that this conspiracy be egazed? That is reducing the constitu- tion to absurdity.
