SEAWA,Y:
Round and Round

Washington newSmen might have
been pardoned had they uttered an
involuntary: Here we 60 again."
For President Truman, at news
conference, stated that he was 60
ing to press again for congressional
approval of legislation to authorize
the st. Lawrence seaway and pow
er project.
THE OFT-PROPOSED interna-
tional project has as yet failed to
win congressional approval.
The President reiterated his in
tention to ask for an okay for the
proposal after a reporter asked:
Mr.. President. are you again
going to press for development Of
the st. Lawrence?"
The President replied that he GER
tainly was. He added that he had
urged approval for the multi-mil-
lion dollar project in almost all of
his state of the Union messages to
congress.
ON ONE of these occasions he
termed the proposed project zone
Of the greatest engineering projects
of all times"
At his conference, the President
said he did not favor New York's
plan to develop jointly with the
province of Ontario the hydro-elec-
trio part of the st. Lawrence prof.

HIGH COURT:
Protects Accused

The Supreme court split S to 4 on
the issue, but the natlon'a highest
tribunal sustained what Justice
Black said was ian established
rule" in holding that. In the United
States, every person accused OF
crime is considered innocent until
proven guilty. =
The court ruled that the rights of
persons accused of crime extend to
the guilty as well as the innocent.
DISSENTERS to- the rule were
Justices Jackson. Burton and Reed,
and Chief Justice Vinson
The majority opinion held in eff
feet that:
Regardless of whether there is
any third degree" confession is
invalid if it is obtained while pris-
oner is being held illegally through
failure to carry him promptly be-
fore committing magistrate.
"A person accused of serious crime
has unqualified right to counsel
when he needs that help for ade-
Quate defense.
JUSTICE BLACK said the main
finding in an earlier case which set
the precedent was that prisoners
must be taken promptly before a
magistrate. He added that the
''pIain purpose" of this was to
''check resort by officers to secret
Interrogation Of persons accused OF
crime"
AS one O.. the dissenters, Justice
Reed held that the courts decision
broadly extended the old rule. BY
his Interpretation that rule was that
psychological pressure, or, at least,
something more than illegal deten-
ton, must be present to invalidate
confession.
He summed up: This decision
puts another weapon into the hands
of the criminal world"

u. S. TOP MEN:
Need More Pay

Congress would be asked to do
something about it. The salaries of
top u. S. officials were too low. For
example, cabinet officials should get
SIS, 900 annually, instead of the pres
ent $4,000.
1t was none other than Budget Di-
rector James E. Webb talking. He
told a senate civil service sub-com-
mlttee that ''the need for men of
ability in the government has never
been more critical. Establishment
Of more adequate rates of pay for
top government positions is an
essential STEP"
WEBB HURRIED to explain that
ne was not speaking for President
Truman when he urged that the
Presidents salary be raised. He
said he had not even discussed the
subject with the President.
Declaring that any salary paid
the chief executive would be low,
he added that "$150,O00 year
would be far more acceptable than
the present $75, 900.
Webb also suggested that the
President be provided with real
istic" expense account, and that the
SIS, 600 salary of the vice president
be brought more in line with that OF
tn President.
The sub committee was told: mo
Job in the world is more grueling
than the Presidents. No soldier
fights harder for his country than
does the commander-in-chief."

'INVASION':
To the South

Tiny Costa Rica, erupting in
strife. held front page space in the
nations press with charges that an
''invasion" was being made from
Nicarguan territory. Who, or what,
was behind the Costa Rican mud

cusation was hurled.
The Costa Rican government
charged that dissident exiles, de-
feated in last springs civil war.
ganged up with Communist" and
Nicaraguan national guardsmen to
launch the. invasion.
THE COSTA RICAN incident was
nothing to be ignored. The little
country, smaller than South Caro-
lima, is literally in Uncle Sans
own backyard and the issues in
volved were serious enough to mer-
it first-class concern.
The problem seemed squarely UP
to the western hemisphere repub-
lics-for, under the Rio Pact pro-
viding for American help to repel
an armed invasion, the foreign min
listers of the 81 republics would have
to determine whether there really
has been an invasion, who is to
blame, and what to do about it.
Their findings could result in the
dispatch of American and other
troops to the aid Of the Costa Rican
government.
THERE WE'RE FEW, however.
who felt this would happen. The
situation was too nnuddled to justi.
fly any definite forecasts. but some
facts were clear.
For instance, the claimed in
vasion was incredibly small. Costa
Rica, herself, placed the number
of invaders at 200 or 300 men. If
Communists were involved it was
unlikely that Anastasio Somoza,
strong man. dictator of Nicaragua.
and an enemy Of the Communists,
had anything to do with it. Instead,
the row looks more like post
election quarrel carried on in the
-honored Latin American way
the "outs" resorting to bullets
and bayonets in efforts to oust the
''ins." But, if the invaders were
really aided by Nicaragua, then
the matter quite properly was a

Fort Pierce

Fort Pierce was a real fort once

Indians. It was a strategic point
on the Indian river because a
natural opening to the sea permit

the north Settlers came, fought
off the Indians. planted their pine
apples, citrus groves, and vege-
tables for the winter markets.

Florida played more of
part in the Civil war than most
textbooks record. 1t was the
food basket of the COnfederacy
and also one of the great
blockade running bases, and I
have no doubt these cuts shell
tered many a contraband cargo
going to or from Cuba or the
Bahamas as they did in the
days of the rum runners.
The town felt the shock of World
War II, literally felt it, for the
submarines crept close to the
coast and explosions rocked the
houses far inland. Wounded sur
vivors were brought in and cared
for here as in other coast towns.
Later. because land and water con-
ditions could be simulated to re-
semble the terrair in the Pacific,
it became the country's largest
amphibious training base.

FIRE BELLS:
Some Are Lucky

With headlines screeching of
death and injury in two major hotel
fires, the nations attention was
turned again to the potential trag-
edies lurking in so many of it's
hostelries.
FIVE LOST their lives, II were
injured and 1877 were forced to flee
flames in Chicago's old, History
Loop hotel, the Victoria. Two of
the dead were Navy men on leave.
Three victims were trapped in their
rooms. One was found in the black
ened fifth-f1oor hallway. Another
died several hours after he was led
from his blazing room.
Just three days earlier, fire struck
Chicago's Hubbard hotel, but that
time all guests escaped the 100000
blaze which destroyed the structure.
LUCKIEST GUEST: Mrs. Ann
Wells. Twice within the three days
she escaped death or injuries from
the fires. A guest at the Victoria,
she got safely out there, fed un-
scathed with the $50 guests who
escaped the Hubbard hotel blaze.
It was too early to determine
cause of the fires, but it was safe
to assume that Investigations would
get underway swiftly as probers
sought to eliminate fire hazards. OBJ
servers wondered if there were a
