Lana Turner and her latest heart

practically nothing to break the

They were silent about any ro-

Cancelled.
They were met as they stepped
from the train by Lana's mother,
Mrs. Mildred Turner, who left New

She embraced Lana, who was

ports. Such development will be reflected
in ar increased prosperity and growth
throughout the county.
1t is impossible to give individual credit
for the successful efforts that have brought
to reality the long struggle for the ship
channel.
Heading up the drive that saw the neces-
sary measures pushed through the legislature
were, of course, Representative Hermes F.
Gautier and State Senator G.. L. Beavers. The
county owes a debt of gratitude to these two
men.
But even the abilities of Mr.. Gautier and
Mr.. Beavers could not alone have accom-
plished this without the united backing of
jackson county citizens. This backing was
reflected in a unanimity of community eff
forts joined in by all groups and all factions.
There is one fact that must be kept in
mind. Thirty feet of water is still just 30
feet of water, and it will remain just that
if the collective county and community sits
back and waits for development to come of
its own accord.
We know that we have the natural adj
vantages for such development. But it will
take the same spirit of community co-opera-
ton and work that marked the present sue
cessful efforts to also bring these possibilities
and natural advantages to a prosperous
reality.

The Senate war investigating

rades most OF the names that
made the headlines during the
course of the hearings
all except that of Senator Owen
Brewster Of Maine, who headed
the committee but withdrew
after sensational charges made
by California Millionaire How
ard Hughes. Hughes testified
under oath during the commit
tee hearings that Brewster had
offered TO call off the investiga-
ton If Hughes would agree to
a merger of two airlines, one of
which he charged Brewster with
fronting for. Brewster, a sworn
witness, denied the charges and
the affair was promptly kicked
into the background and buried

bent over slightly backwards to
leave Brewster's name out of
its report. The same report
clustered the activities of
Hughes and charged top brass

timony that opened the door to
the Meyer scandal. The COM
mittee would have done a much
greater public service if it had
gone into the charges against
the Maine Senator and either
absolved him of them, or given
the public the facts. To say the
least, the committee adopts an
ineongruous attitude in charg-
