Turks Criticize West

By the Associated Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey. Mar. 90
An influential Turkish newspaper
today criticized Western nations
for leaving Turkey out of the
North Atlantic treaty. 1t was
perhaps the most outspoken edi-
to-ial against the West to ap-
pear here in recent years.
rs not our burden and our
part greater than Italy's which is
not an Atlantic country" asked
the newspaper illus. official organ
of the ruling Republican People S
Party.
The editorial continued: "Do
they consider us as an advance
post to be sacrificed at first
blast?"
Turkey has advocated a Medi-
terranean pact to complement
the North Atlantic Pact. 1t
would include Turkey, Greece.
Italy, France, Britain and, per-
haps later, Spain. But with
Britain, France and Italy already
committed to a regional pact, it
was feared here chances of a
Mediterranean Pact have declined.

New Air|if Mark SET
For Week S Transport
by the Associotsd Press

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, Mar. 26.-The Allied
airlift set a new record for the
transport of supplies to blockaded
Western Berlin in the past week.
It moved 51,049 tons in the
seven days ended at noon today.
The old mark was 1858 tons
during the second week of March.
The daily average of the Amer
lean and British crews is now only
800 tons short of what German
officials say is needed for Western
Berlin to function as though a
blockade did not exist.
On the political front, the East.
ern Communists renewed their
drive for an all German confer
ence. Undismayed by a rebuff
from Western Germans, the Com

UP TO ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

Resentment of residents have reached
the stage of evaporation over the many
burglaries that have been committed
recently in Key West, with only one APP
prehension.
Even a 5OO-pound safe was stolen
from a store, and the burglars are still at
large.
Naturally, the question asked is, what
are the police doing, what is the sheriff
and his force doing?
A large taxpayer, one of whose bust
nesses was burglarized remarked to The
Citizen that the city is on tiptoe4to find
other sources of revenue it may tax, and
added that municipal officials could we'll
employ little of their taxing activity to
give police protection to the residents who
pay those taxes.
AS to the police The Citizen on De-
cember 80 published a special dispatch
from New York, giving police department
statistics from 887 cities in the United
States. Those statistics, gathered by the
International City Managers Association,
showed that Key West has fewer police
than most other cities in it's population
bracket. Key Vests average of policemen
is 1877 for each 1000 of it's population,
while the national average for cities of
more than 10000 population is 1.89 for
each 1000 residents.
Key Vests police forge in the day
time is sufficiently large but much larger
force at night is needed. The Citizen does
not know how large an area of the city is
now included in policeman's beat at
night, but it is evidently too extensive for
one man to cover effectively.
Until the night force is increased, the
police and sheriff's forces also should keep
close watch of suspects, particularly be-
tween midnight and daybreak. The tax
payers are doing their part, and it is up to
law enforcement officers to do their part

MONOGRAPH
PHILOSOPHY OF DISBELIEF

The forty-fifth anniversary of the
first flight by the Wright Brothers at
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, was observed
throughout the nation, with the Smith
sonian Institution in Washington formally
accepting the famous plane which has
been returned to this country after stay
ing in England for twenty years.
At the time of the Wright expert
ments nobody expected that the contrap-
ton would fly and when the news of the
first flight got into newspaper offices, the
spectacular story was disbelieved. One
reporter, who almost witnessed the, initial
flight, was Ora L. Jones, who admits that
his assignment was to poke fun at the
thing"
Mr.. Jones, who now lives in Florida,
recalls that the last story he wrote on the
assignment ended this way: eff the Good
Lord wanted us to fly, he would have
given us wings in the first place"
We call attention to the philosophy
expressed by Mr.. Jones because it has
been the stock argument advanced by mill
lions of people throughout hundreds of
years Practically every new device, form
of treatment or bit of revolutionary infor-
nation has been treated by the skeptics
with the same philosophy, which has, no
doubt, done the world considerable harm.
Mr.. Jones is refreshing in his frank
disbNief of forty-five years ago. This is
rather unusual. AS rule, men like to re-
call the times they were right without ad-
hitting that they were, upon an equal
number of occasions, emphatically wrong

OIL SUPPLY FOR $50 YEARS

It's hard for the average person to
keep up with the predictions concerning
the oil supply of the world.
Not long ago, the experts were pre-
dieting that the United States would be
running out of the precious fluid in two or
three decades and there were forecasts of
possible shortages in the United States
this winter.
With the people of this country using
more oil and gasoline than the world con-
sumed before the recent war; it is inter-
esting to know that DR.. E. E. Murphree
president of an oil development company,
says that the speed-up in discovery of
new oil pools gives us enough under
ground oil to supply the world for an
other $50 years,

MAKING LIFE A SUCCESS

Practically every person in Monroe
County, whether man or woman, boy or
girl regardless of age and circumstances,
hopes and intends to make life a success.
Stated in general terms, this ambition
is common to all of us. 1t is only when we
attempt to define the meaning of success"
that differences of opinion develop for the
individual to stop long enough to ponder
the question and answer it.
The individual, in his or her zeal to be
successful, often accepts a popular defini-
ton of the term and, thereby, loses sight
of the real goal. Ones success is not to be
measured by the wealth accumulated, the
worldly honors received or the tickle ac-
clamation of so-caled public opinion.
&c. today, when there are so many
ideas about success, we suggest that the
individual reader analyze his or her con-
ception. 1t should be obvious, we think,
that one can be successful only when life
is in harmony with our inner convictions
Yet, if our principles be wrong, life must
be imperfect.
To those who read this article and,
particularly, to the young people, we sug-
gest the effort to outline definite princi-
Piles which are considered acceptable
guides. AS start, one might try to dis
cover definite principle upon which one
can base daily activity and to which one
is willing to be loyal under all circum-
stances. This might sound easy but test it
for yourself.

FRENCH ATOMIC EXPERIMENTS

The French Atomic Energy Commits
sion reports that self-sufficient atomic
energy pile has gone into operation and
has placed the Republic in position to
bargain for atomic raw materials along
with the United States and the British
Empire.
Professor Frederic Joliot-Curie, head
Of the Commission, says it is not question
Of military secrets but of competitive
commercial secrets. He thinks that the
French will be able to use as bargaining
weapon the process through which the
nations physicists were able to produce
a self-sustaining pile at bargain base
ment price of three billion francs which
is microscopic as compared with Ameri-
can and British appropriations for similar
efforts.
The Professor points out, in press
conference, that, SO far as he is concerned.
France is not interested in the production
of atomic bombs but that research was
devoted to the production of radioactive
isotopes for medical, biological and in
dustrial purposes and for eventual har-
Messing of atomic energy as source of
heat and electrical power.
