ACTION AGAINST PERvERTS

Newspapers should print more crime
news, says Attorney General j. Howard
McGrath who. believes that this would
focus the spotlight of public opinion"
on the problem of sex criminals.
The Cabinet officer thinks that we
must be realistic in considering the sex
offender and take cognizance of medical
opinion that many of them are incurable
Consequently, he advocates stricter laws
that will permit the falling of incurable
sex criminals for life in order to 'pro-
tect every woman and child"
Here we have the head of the Federal
Department of Justice suggesting course
of action which any state of the union can
take to protect it's citizens. Only small
number of states now has laws sufficient
to cope with the sex offender. None of
them needs the assistance of the Federal
Government to pass an adequate law or to
enforce it.
If the states of the union fail to pass
laws to protect women and children from
the attacks of perverts, then there will
inevitably arise demand for Federal
law" Sooner or later, Congress will re-
spond to the demand and pass such legis-
lation. This will again extend the power
of the Federal Government and diminish
the power of the states. Consequently,
if those who dislike the present trend to
centralize Federal authority do nothing
to secure efficient state action, they will
soon witness the processes by which the
states lose thoir mower

NEUTRAL ZONE WITH RussIA9

Once again there is runor, emanat-
ing from Europe, that the United states
is ready to make peace" with Moscow.
The obvious purpose of the report Is 10
suggest to Western Europe that this coun-
try is willing to have general settlement
with Russia behind the backs OF Great
Britain, France and other friends
Of course. the state Department
promptly squelched the report, making
1t clear that this country has no idea OF
negotiating directly and secretly with Mos
COW about matters of concern to the entire
Western World.
Meanwhile, we should not overlook
the recent declaration by Secretary of
State Dean Acheson that, in the Far East,
the United States has defense perimet-
err" stretching through the Ryukyu Islands
to the Philippines. This declaration is
backed by our refusal to seek foothold
on the island of Formosa, which has been
suggested by some critics of our foreign
policy.
The Importance of this proposal, in
the minds of some observers, is that it sug-
gestS to Russia that something like neu-
trail zone can be created between the two
nations. If the Russians take no advantage
of our statement to extend their aggres-
sive dominion. then the prospect of a. SER
ious conflict will be eased.
The attitude of the Russians to this
idea of twilight one between East and
West can be witnessed in Europe, as we'll
If the Russians leave Yugoslavia alone
then the possibility exists that the rival
ideologies will be relatively confined and
that an in-between area will serve as a
buffer zone to avoid clashes.

poLIcY OF DISRUPTION

THE soft coal industry is perfect ex-
ample of industrial chaos. No one knows,
from one week TO the next, whether all of
mines will work. whether some of the
the mines win work. whether some of the
mines win work. or if the miners will fol-
low a tlfree-day week. five-day week, or
a n0-day week.
Thk sort of disruption has been John
l.. Lewis fixed policy. 1t is, apparently, a
method OF demonstrating that he is GOALS
ear.
Recently. a large number of soft coal
companies have filed petitions with the
National Labor Relations Board, charging
MF. Lewis with unfair labor practices
coercion, and refusal to bargain in good
faith.
The mine operators have repeatedly
offerea 90 sign contract continuing the
wage rates established in 194s, which are
the highest in major industry. They are
willing "a continue the same hours, and to
provide other benefits. including a sound
pension. welfare and group insurance
plan. This is even a better contract than
that Of last year which union officials
called the best ever negotiated. But Mr..
Lewis will not agree-so consumers are
deprived Of coal. miners are deprived of
work. and production costs in this hard
pressed industry are skyrocketing
This ruthless use of monopoly power
must be stopped. in the interest of every

Charge Columbia
School Board
With 'Favoritism'

GAINESVILLE. Feb. 3.-R).
al suit charging 'favoritism" has
been filed against the four mem
bers of the Columbia County
School Board.
The Dennison Construction
Company of Gainesville has ask
ed $4,000 in damages against the
board following a contract let
ting.
The action followed the School
Boards decision awarding the
contract to build an elementary
school in Lake City to another
construction company, although
Dennison was the low bidder on
the job.
The suit charges that the Co.
lumbia County School Board
members acted in bad faith and
showed favoritism in addition to
violating the law which requires
the contract to be awarded to
the lowest responsible bidder.
The suit is against the board
members jointly and severally.

THE COW STORY UP-To-DATE

1t doesn't make any difference wheth-
er you are a Republican, a Democrat or an
Independent, the following article from
the Bernice, La, News-Journal is good for
all to read who wish to see our American
system of representative government sur
vive.
Capitalism: If you have two COWS,
you sell one and buy bull.
Socialism: If you have two cows, you
give one of them to your nelghbor.
Communism: If you have two COWS,
you give them to the government and the
government gives you milk.
Fascism: If you have two cows, you
keep the cows and give the milk to the
government.
New Deal: If you have two cows,
you shoot one, milk the other, then pour
the milk down the drain.
Fair Deal: If you have two COWS,
you let them starve so you can buy your
milk in cans, thus making business better.
