Future Development

The Ingalls, Shipbuilding Corporation came
to Pascagoula because of the natural advan-
tages it offered as a potential shipbuilding
center. If Jackson, Mississippi, or Hatties-
burg, or Meridian, had offered the same adj
vantages it might be that we would not have
had this industry that has paid hundreds of
millions of dollars in wages and salaries dur
ing the course of its operations here, and
whose future prospects are excellent.
BY the successful effort to bring Ingalls,
here Jackson county was following the lines
of natural development, and as a result
reaped a full measure of profit.
The same thing is true with other natural
advantages of our country and our area. The
development and protection of our pine for
ests to yield future benefits to our citizens;
the development of agriculture and dairy
farming and cattle raising in areas of the
county suited for it; the development of our
seafood industry. But above all, our destiny
and our future is tied to our waters both
the Gulf waters off our shores to which our
deep channel will open a roadway for ships,
and the inland waters that, one of these days,
will be channels of to the interior.
There is many hurdle still left in our
path. 1t will take patience, work and commu-
nifty cooperation to clear them, particular
ly the latter for a community divided in its
efforts has two strikes on it to begin with.

You're
Telling Me-!
BY WILLIAM RITZ
Central Press Writer

The dog days, apparently, ar
rive early in Detroit. A wo-
man there was nabbed for
smashing eight plaster pooches
which decorated an advertising
sign.
The pups paraded in a chain
that was endless. Unfortunate
ly her patience wasn't.
The lady couldn't see any
sense in the canine caravan.
They weren't even chasing .
cat-plaster or otherwise.
Evidently counting dogs
crossing a sign isn't as con-
ducive to a good nights sleep
like numbering sheep jumping
a fence. The pups were visible
from the lady's bedroom win
dow.
What was most annoying
was that the electrified Fidos
never blew a fuse.
So finally. the Auto City ma
iron took a plank and socked
each plaster Pup as he slid into
range.
The law came along and the
lady was charged with destroy
ing property to the tune Of
$500. That's $62.50 per pup.
Gosh, those dogs must have

thing for the South, and could
result in a much-needed two
party system, which would ma
terially strengthen the South's
political effectiveness in the
nation.
We advocate States Rights
on the ground that the ques-
ton OF segregation and other
civil rights are the business of
each individual state, and
therefore the Federal govern
ment should adopt a hands off
policy. Yet we refute our po-
sition by lending our aid to the
COP through the denial of it
to the national Democratic
party and virtually assure the
election of a Republican regime.
which has long been committed
to the same civil rights that
we oppose and whose presiden-
tial candidate backed a state
FEPC law in New York which,
of all the civil rights issue, the
revolters most violently oppose.
II is a situation devoid of
rationalism, and our eyes re-
main closed to deeper and
more fundamental issues in
volving not only the freedom
of the Southern states to de-
eide their own problems in
their own way. but the freedom
of our nation and the survival
of our Democratic system. We
should raise our eyes and look
beyond our noses.

Conditions In
Germany Told
Rotary Clubs

Mrs. Russell Steberk of Mobile
told members of the Pascagoula
Rotary Club of conditions in &C.
cupied Germany at the regular
luncheon on Wednesday at the
Country Club, and on Thursday
she was the guest of the Moss
Point Rotarians.
Mrs. Steberk has just recently
returned from a year and a half's
residence in Munich where she
had gone to join her husband who
is in the U. S. Air Forces and is
at present occupied in flying
supplies into Berlin.
The home she occupied had
been the former residence of a
convicted Nazi agent. She de-
scribed it as most comfortable,
well furnished with an electric
refrigerator and a combination
electric and wood stove and well
heated with a central heating
plant.
"Scrounging" was the term
Mrs. Steberk coined for the
black market activities that she
said went on continuously. The
Germans who had the means
would barter anything for
American cigarettes or food.
Mrs. Steberk travelled around
as much as she could and in de-
scribing the devastations of the
country spoke of the lack of re-
Mobilization materials. She strong
ly advocated the necessity OF
work with the German youth,
that they should be inculcated
with the American way of life.
The numerous orphans should be
provided for she pointed out.
Mrs. Steberk warmly endorsed the
Care packages, what they ment to
the recipient materially and for
the morale.

will materially reduce its aid
to European recovery. The
latter would result in unem-
ployrhent and economic stagna-
ton in Europe which would
furnish fertile grounds for the
seeds of Communism. This is
just what the Russian govern
ment is counting on. The
Communists had much rather
walk softly on economic want
and hungry bellies, than take
the hard and uncertain path of
a shooting war.
Spiraling prices, the desper-
ate effort of wages to keep
track and the tremendously
swollen corporate profits which
have ridden to a fabulous
height can eventually reach a
point where their own momen-
tum will carry them crashing
down into another economic
collapse such as we saw in the
early sos. That, too, is just
what the masters of the Krem-
lin are betting op. 1t is the
ace up their sleeve 1t is
the high trump that they are
counting on to take the win
ming trick. Economic collapse
within our own country would,
of necessity, force us to with
draw our aid and attention
from both Europe and the Far
East and leave most of the ma
tons of the world ripe for the
type of Communist liberation"
that we have seen in Czecho-
slovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania,
Hungary. and other nations of
the Communist bloc.
What is our answer to all
this? The Democratic party,
as sad as its record at times
is. offers the only effective
answer to these problems but
falls into a dog fight over the
so-called States Rights issue
while the Republicans sit
smugly by and egg it on and
the Communists rally under
the banner of Wallace's Pro-
gressive Party in the hope that
they can become politically eff
fective in the shuffling and re-
alignment. Our position in the
South is incongruous. The Dix
iecrats base their revolt on
States Rights, but this is simp-
ly a word to cover the deeper
issue of segregation and eco
nomie status quo. 1t is filled
with hysterical predictions and
pipe dreams and prominent in
the vanguard for the most part
are those same men who at
tempted to stage the split in
1910 and again in 1914, but who
found Roosevelt's popular ap-
peal too much for them. I'm

erwise, nothing will be accom-

own from being in our own

they have never seen a presi-
dent or his message receive as
cool a reception as President
Truman and his message receiv-
ed last Tuesday. The only APP
plause came from northern
Democrats, who alone had re-
ceived advance copies of the
presidents speech, with appro-
pirate points marked for ap-
plause.
