There is Only One Way

President Truman last week vetoed a b I'll DENYING
citizenship to persons who may seek covertly to overthrow
tbe Government through association with Communist front
groups.
At the same time he asked that Congress enact an
other section of the measure which would not deny or
.hr;dge the right to become a naturalized citizen because
Of race. This section affects mainly persons of Asiatic
origin.
We feel that such actions are most welcomed, parti-
cularly the latter recommendation.
Mr.. Truman in support of his first action stated that
the language of the section on Communist front organi-
zstions is so vague and ~ill-defined that no one can tell
what it may mean or how it may be applied"
Surely this section needs to be placed back on the
drafting board. For our naturalization laws are threaten
cd to the extent that little or no rights will be left to ma
turalized citizens or others legitimately admitted to this
nation.
Mr.. Truman in his second action hit at the law which
bars Asiatics from naturalization. The bill passed by
Congress offered naturalization privileges to al immi-
grants having legal right to permanent residence in the
United States. but did not out lay the restrictions imposed
on those of Asiatic origin.
Since this action is seeking to repulse Communism in
the Asiatic countries, it would appear that our position
should be one of welcoming immigrants from these coun-
tries under the same laws as enacted for all others. For
racial discrimination in our naturalization system is un-
American.

For. Of All

The rent control extension controversial is definitely
regarded by the majority Of us as a personal financial is
sue, since we as renters are in the larger numbers.
Hence, we feel that the Common Council t o 0 k a
stride in the right direction upon deciding to settle the IS
sue rather than place it before the voters in November.
A crystal ball is not needed to forecast that the issue.
if left up to the general balloting, will be in favor of the
renters. AS we see it, the extension should be judged on
an impartial basis as a need rather than as a priority.
AS elected representatives of the people, we feel that
the Councilmen will make a decision which will be for the
interest of all.

Your lovely letter has given

physical means of health and
healing, medicine and surgery
are some of the means by which
the devil keeps the world asleep
in its sins and spiritual naked

They exist only in false. sup

God fills all space as infinite

Man Found Dead In
Road On Sandy Ridge
Sunday

Brownie Wiles, about 40, was
found dead in the road near the
Hammonds schoolhouse ON Sandy
Ridge late Sunday evening. A
citizen of that community, by the
name of Kiser, found the man
lying in the road and notified
John Hammons, deputy sheriff.
Examination of the ground and
the body convinced Hammons
that there had been no foul play
and the body was brought to
Clintwood for further exam
nation.
At Clintwood, both Elmer
Poore, undertaken, n d DR..
Phipps, county coroner, gave
their opinions to the effect that
the death had not been the result
of violence.
The deceased appears to have
been person without a settled
abode and had simply lived about
in the community for a number
of years. He was originally from
North Carolina and left wife
living near Wilkesboro in that
state.
The deputy sheriff stated that
there was a distinct alcoholic od-
or about the corpse and that he
had been known to drink to some
extent.

The court heard the writ
against Joe q. Dotson, Kennedy
District supervisor, on Friday.
1t appeared from the testimony
that Dotson had moved from his
home at Darwin in his district
to Coeburn in August, 1949. The
supervisor maintained that tho
move was merely one of temper
airy convenience, that it was
never intended to be permanent.
and that he regarded himself as
a resident OF his district and
county. AS there was no dispute
over the facts, the court discharg
ed the jury and took the legal
aspects OF the case under advise.
ment.
The trial of J. r. Robinson,
charged with breaking and enter
ing a local garage and taking
from it an automobile in March,
1949, occupied nearly the whole
day Monday. The jury returned
verdict OF guilty with sem
tence of eighteen months in the
penitentiary.
The trial of Orbin Corder,
charged with the Staying of Fitz-
hugh Yates at the Bridge Cafe ON
Cranes Nest April II of this yeaX,
began Tuesday. The common
wealth was represented by Fred
B. Greear and Ben F. Suther-
land, in addition to the common
wealth's attorney. The defense
was represented by Glynn Phil
lips, local attorney, and Mack
and Sam Coleman of Gate City.
Evidence showed that Corder's
wife and the slain man had been
together for week before the
tragedy, and the unwritten law
was relied on by the defendant.
Scheduled for this week are
the charges of murder against
Calvin Moore and Junior Justice.
The opinion has been expressed
by court observers, however, that
both cases cannot be reached this
week.
A number of civil actions have
been set for July and July 7.

"Our show is red-hot, nude and

to close the preview of the most
vulgar show at the carnival last
week. Both the spiel and the ex-
hibition were in violation OF the
law of the Commonwealth. De-
cent people could not go to the
carnival without seeing the repul

promises. Three groups are to be
blamed for this public indecency:
those who made a contract with
the carnival, the guardians of the
law, and those who went on the
ground. Only custom sanctions
the license of a carnival. Any
vicious custom can and should be
destroyed. If there are enough
clean-minded men and women,
they have the remedy to stop
such brazen vrlgarity; they can
quit going to places where it is
allowed and can take their fami-

Reports have been drifting back
from Kettle Camp, near Elkhorn

taken widow, with all her am

First-hand and true information,
taken last Sunday, brands the
rumor as premature. Curt isn't
married, but, like Barkis, he Is
willing. He has laid aside t h e
character of modern Talt Hall

correct manner. To paraphrase,
little widow is a dangerous thing.
Two great personal events

."Lost In The Stars"
Closes in Chicago

CHICAGO - (ANP) - Lost
in the Stars" the musical based
upon Alan Paton's best selling
novel, "Cry My Beloved Country"
with Todd Duncan singing the
lead behind a distinguished sup
porting cast, closed at the Great
Northern Theatre here last Sat-
urday night after a two week run.
Indifferent newspaper support
and what has been described as a
rather hostile attitude on the part
of White Chicago theatre audi
ences, were responsible for the
closing of the show here, mem
berS of the cast felt. The produc-
TONS close down in Chicago
meant its closing for the season.
The play, which depicted the
grinding prejudices which exist
in South Africa, had been a hit
on Broadway and had made a
record breaking tour of the far
west. The cast, which was mixed,
had refused to play the deep
South but had done a number of
the border-line cities such as
Kansas City, Louisville, KY; Nor
gantown, West Va. and st. Louis.
Most places gave it a splendid re-
ception. st. Louis, where Negroes
have been picketing theatres and
seeking greater privileges, was
bit cool, according to some of the
actors. .s4t .ts8s IA
