CHECK ON AusrRIANs

Vlenna-AP-A high Austrian
government source says Russian
military authorities have made
increasingly stiff demands upon
local civil authorities in their
zone of occupation for detailed
reports on almost every phase of
public life in certain sections.
Although Russian troops had
been removed from some of the
areas nearly two years ago. Rus
sian officers recently approached
local Austrian officials with YER
bal orders to list all former Nazis
and all foreigners residing in the
area, to report on all political
parties and their activities and to
report three days in advance ON
all public meetings to be held
even traditional religious process
sions.
The Russian officers also asked
for complete local police rosters
and demanded that any changes
in personnel be reported immedi-
ately. They wanted lists of all no.
tells including details as to their
capacity and the names of their
owners. Post offices we're told to
submit lists of newspapers COM
ing into the area and the number
of each distributed. All lectures
and speeches by public officials
had to be reported verbatim and
they also demanded that each
political party secretary give de-
tailed account of the activities Of
his party on 10th and goth of each
month. And local officials were
told to turn over lists of all
trucks and other vehicles. all
garages and names of their own
ers.

chief advisers to his uncle,
Earl Long, whose program as
governor burdened Louisiana
with a multi-million dollar adj
ditional tax burden, a large
part of which will be paid by
those least able to bear it. 1t
looks like Russell, in the capa-
city of adviser to his uncle,
would practice what he
breaches. We would guess,
however, that it is all a matter
of expediency. The tremendous
extra state tax burden will re-
build, on the vehicle of patron
age and politics, the old Huey
machine. The attack on the
City of New Orleans, the kill
ing of civil service, the abol-
ishment of non-political state
boards to be replaced with po-
litical hacks whose only quail
fication is loyalty to the ma
chine, all point to the fact that
the boys are determined to stay
in the saddle for a long time.
We would not be at all sur
prised to see a special session
of the Louisiana legislature in
the not-too-distant future at
which, with a great show of
righteousness and a lot of croc-
odile tears over the wishes of
the people, many of the burden
some taxes. including the in
creased sales and gasoline taxes,
and the tax on beer. will be
repealed and quietly replaced
with upped severance and in
dustrial taxes of one sort or an
ther. This will make a fine
political show, but will add
irreparable damage to that al
ready done to Louisiana's prog
ress. There is one good thing,
however, that the Louisiana
situation can accomplish. It can
show Mississippi what NOT to
do.

Has skysfreak. like xs-i
Broken supersonic Barrier7
Especial to Central press)

wASHINGTON-The super
sonic secret is out-Air Secre-
rtary w. Stuart Symington was
"scooped" by several months
on his recent announcement
that an American plane has
flown faster than the speed of
sound.
Symington's disclosure made
It official. however, that the
United States seems to have
won the world race to cross
the supersonic barrier first.
Many aviation writer's had
written that the Bell rocket
propelled xS-1 sonic research
plane had surpassed sound
speed, which is 1853 miles an
hour at sea level but grows
less at a greater altitude where
air is thinner and thus more
easily penetrated.
The official disclosure came
only after a heated behind the
scenes debate.
Some military leaders and
DIR. Vannevar Bush. head of all
military research, opposed the
announcement on the grounds
that it would enable potential
enemies to abandon research on
all types of planes except those
with xS-1 characteristics. The
blueprints on xS-1 have been
widely published.
Other world powers must,
however, suspect what has been
broadly limited in American
publications-that another SON.
ic plane, the Douglas Skystreak,
has also cracked the barrier,
and that a new type, the Doug
las Skyrocket, is expected to
surpass both its predecessors.
The Skyrocket, aviation ex-
perts believe, will be the first
plane to fly faster than sound
at sea level (763 miles per
hour). The xS-1 flights re-
portedly were made at $4,000
feet, where sound-speed is $50
miles per hour.
Red Horizon
Political observers see new
evidence daily of the promin-
ent place the issue of Com
munism will have in the COM
ing presidential campaign.
Mr. Truman's benevolent ref
erence to "Old Joe" Stain as a
prisoner of the Politburo" was
one indication of the fact that
the Communist issue is ever in
the minds of the top office
seekers.
The numerous anti=Red in
vestigations of the House un-
American Activities Committee
also have served to point up the
issue.

Tuesdays city election proved
beyond shadow of a doubt that
City Hall precinct should be
split and at least two voting
precincts established in place
of it. Approximately LOO
voters cast their ballots at that
box Tuesday. and as a result
throughout the day voters
stood in line for 10. Is or 20
minutes, or longer. Many ell
derby persons are not physical
ly able to stand in line for this
length of time, particularly dur
ing the heat of summer. 9th
ers, both young and old, are
simply not going to take this
amount of time to vote. AS a re-
suit, we venture the guess
that quite a few voters failed
to cast their ballots at the
City Hall box Tuesday as a re-
suit of these overcrowded con-
ditions.
In addition to the above, the
counting and tabulation of the
votes at the City Hall box was
not completed until well after
10 p. m. Counting in the other
two boxes was completed by 8
o'clock and with the results of
the election depending on the
returns from the City Hall box
persons interested naturally
packed into the room where
the counting was being done.
It's all right to ask people to.
be quiet. but when 100 or more
persons are crowded into a
room, they are not going to re-
main mute for two hours or
longer, and as a matter of fact
can't be expected to. As a re-
suit the hum of conversation at
times interfered with the count
ing, and this combined with the
heat and tenseness was enough
to fray the nerves of a saint,
much less those of the clerks
and managers who were trying
to complete the count.
New voting precincts can be
created by city ordinance, and
we believe that a thorough
study should be undertaken,
and changes made that will not
only take care of the present
situation, but also take into con-
sideration future growth of
Pascagoula. At present five
voting precincts are used in
county election. We believe
that the city would be wise to
establish the same number. AL
most 1000 voters took part in
the first primary, and five vot-
ing precincts could so divide
the city that not more than 500
voters would be registered in
one box. At the same time,
an analysis of the city registra-
ton rolls should be undertaken,
and the individual voters reg
istration changed to the pre-
cinct in which he rightfully be-
longs. Many of the voters pres
emily registered in the City Hall
precinct should, because of the
place of residence, vote in eth
er the South or North Pasca-
goula box. Such changes in
telligently planned and carried
out would result in a larger
vote because of the convent
ence to voters. and would also
