THE FBI AND SABOTAGE

Some years ago Presidential di-
receive was issued providing that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation take
charge of investigative work in mat
ers relating to espionage, sabotage,
subversive activities and related mat
tiers. Now President Truman has again
called attention to this directive, and
added the suggestion that all patriotic
organizations and individuals, as well
as law enforcement officers, report all
information concerning such matters
to the Bureau.
The FBI is as near to you as your
telephone. The organization is interest
ed in facts, not gossip or idel ru4nors.
Some bit of Information which may
seem .inconsequential to the individual
coming upon it may be just what the
FBI needs, in conjunction with other
data in it's possession, to make case.

No one should make private investiga-

to hysteria and witch-hunts which in
themselves weaken our internal secur-

This is vitality important now. The
forces which are working to under

They have been trained in deceit. They

FREE MARKET STILL BEST

The coal industry does not want
government "aid" in the guise of price
fixing or any other sort of regulation.
And if it should be imposed, all con-
cerned would suffer, as precedent here
and abroad amply proves,
This country passed coal price
fixing act during the SOS that was de-
signed to put floor under prices and
eliminate inefficient producers. In &C
tual practice, however, it brought a
rise in coal prices which kept the in
efficient producers alive and the con-
sumers paid for it.
In Britain, the prelude to socializa-
ton was a similar scheme of fixing
prices so that all producers would be
guaranteed profit. AS there was no
competition, capital was not spent for
improved machinery and methods. The

living and dishonesty. 1t is Our belief
that farmers in the Tabor City area
can see through this scheme. Let us
certainly hope so. We have been de-
termined to quote you the correct av-
eraees and not come guesses that are
made purposelv high. Just watch the
avera that come out at the end OF
the season from the agriculture depart
ment. You will see that there has been

war showed up the evils of this. lr
America, with competition restored,
the soft coal industry increased pro-
duction SO per cent. In Britain, where
coal was sorely needed, production
dropped by IS per cent! These per-
formances were the result of free
competitive system on the one hand
and regimented, non-competitive sys-
tenn on the other.
The coal industry is far stronger.
far more efficient, today than it was
at the time of Pearl Harbor. That is
because, despite it's modest earnings
it has spent huge sums for improved
machinery, for opening new mines, and
for lettering its equipment and tech
nology in every possible way. Coal
clearly does not need political medicine

in wages, taxes and the price of
supplies; while the level of pas
senger fares was lower than it
was even before the first world
war.
Thus the railroads thoroughly
proved the superiority of private
ownership and control over Gov
eminent ownership and control.
That should silence forever the
voices clamoring for nationaliza'
ton of our railroads, but it is
too much to hope that it will.
And what about impending
World War III? In July the mem
Der roads of the Association of
American Railroads held a spe.
cial meeting at Chicago. A defin-
lite rail transportation program
to meet the needs of commerce
and the demands of defense was
unanimously adoptd.
Space does not permit going
into the details of this program,
However, it was drawn up by
experienced railroad men, pledg,
cd to put it into effect. After the
splendid job men did in World
War II certainly they can be
trusted to handle efficiently
transportation of troops and war
freight in the unhappy event we
become involved in third world
war-that is, provided the Fed
eral Government, as was the case
in World War II, again exercises
the good common sense of leav-
ing the operation of our rail
roads to our railroad men.

THE AMERICAN Wal
HANDS OFF our
RAILROADS
By George Peck

If the worst should happen
and we are plunged into World
War III, it is to be hoped that
the Federal Government will
keep its paralyzing hands off
our American railroads.
Those of us who are OLD enough
can remember the performance
of our railroads in two world
wars. In World War 1 the Gov
eminent opearted the railroads
and what a sorry mess it made
of the job.
During World War II, Govern
ment apparently had learned its
lesson and exercised the good
judgment of leaving the railroads
under private operation and
control. What a contrast there
was between their orderly and
efficient performance in World
War II as compared with the
haphazard and inefficient mis-
performance in World War /.
In fact, during World War II
the railroads did themselves
proud-they moro than justified
the vote of confidence reposed in
them-they not only handled the
war load, but also saved the
Government a heap of money
while doing it. In World War l,
during the 8 years 1880, the
Government collected from the
railroad companies 146 million
dollars in Federal Income Taxes,
but during those same year:
there was a deficit in excess Of
$1,641, 100000 resulting from Gov.
ernment operation 10 be paid
out of the Federal Treasury.
In World War II, during the
three years and eight months
Pearl Harbor and the capitula
ton of Japan, the railroad com,
panies paid in Federal taxes
more than S4,27O,OOO,OOO, in ad
dition to payroll taxes of S770,,
000,000-and there was no deficit
on account of Federal operation
to be met by us poor taxpayers
And, my fellow-taXpayers, there
was net gain for us Of $780,.
100000 over World War land
that amount OF money "ain't
hay"
And while the railroads were
saving us this vast amount of
money they literally performed
miracles. They handled 81 per,
cent of all organized troop move,
ments and more than 80 percent
If all war freight. During World
War II the total freight load
on the railroads doubled, the
passenger load multiplied
times.
Nor was this done by lacking
up freight rates and passenger
fares. During the first world wal
and the period Immediately
thereafter, it was found ncces
sary to increase freight rates by
an average of approximately 60
percent. At the close of World
War II freight rates were nc
higher than when the war began.

WHY NOT THE TRUTH

If you follow the radio and news
paper reports from the various tobacco
markets in the Border Belt, you see
every day where this house averages
$500 and this one $1,000 and all
such padded amounts on sales for this
or that day. Now, it is an obvious fact
that these figures are being purposely
instructed to mislead the farmer and
thus entice him to bring his tobacco to
that market. 1t is our belief that no

liens by public officials whom
our votes help elect. We must
learn to abhor the totalitarian
which makes one man
say he will not respect another
man and he will deny certain
opportunities and privileges
of citizenship to another man
because of the color of his
skin.
Our American heritage az
set forth in the Constitution
of the United States teaches
that to be secure in the rights
a man wishes for himself, he
must be willing to respect the
rights of other men. We believe
that this above all else means
equality of opportunity.
We believe our efforts to
win our full American rights
must begin in our own various
communities. Our best weapon
with which to oppose condi-
tions we know to be wrong is
the use of the ballots. We ear
nestly hope that every quail
fled Negro voter and voters
of other minority groups who
are often Disseminated against
as we are will be ready and
eager to use their ballots in the
coming election November 7th.
In times like these every vote
has a supreme value. It is by
voting that we put good public
officials in office and at the
same time keep bad ones out.
We read almost daily of how
our boys are fighting and dying
on the battle fields Of Korea,
still in the capacity of Jim
Grow soldiers. Let's you and I
who are left at home combine
our strength and concentrate
our thoughts to the end that
those who are fortunate enough
to live and return will come
back to a better America than
the one for which they are now
fighting.
