NEW GUIDED MISSILE USE

The Air Force has hinted it is developing a guided missile to be carried by bombers designed to intercept and destroy jet fighter planes which are the main nemesis of attacking bomber force. This is the first time the Air Force has intimaed guided missiles would be used for defensive purposes by bomber planes.
 The Air Force has often talked of guided missiles IS nerceptors of enemy jet bombers, and as missiles to be launched for offensive purposes. The recent announcement was the first hint that guided missiles were being developed defensive bomber weapons. If the Air Force is successful in developing guided missile as defensive armament for bomber planes, the service may have found the answer to the NO problem encountered in bomber raids deep into enemy held territory.
 In the air fighting in Korea. the uneYenness of combat between conventonal-type bombers ana jet fahters has been clearly demonstrated Although seen shown that new defensive armament IS neeoeo been shown that new deefnsive armament is needed to protect conventional-type bombers agalnst lee lnterceptors On a deep penetration misslon' one which protecting fighters cannot accompany all the vav the need for defensive armament Tor our Dolo- CTS is urgent Perhaps the Air Force mas part ol the answer = or all of it in the deVelopmeht of guided missiles to be carried by bombers for ther o,tr1,

GRADUATED TAXATION

The following appeared in the Seattle Post-In- telligencers Voice of the People" and requires no comment:
 Among other things the young Democrats have come out in favor of graduated taxation What is it?
 It means that guy making S35O month mlght get taxed 20 per cent while guy making Sooo month might get taxed 40 per cent NOW then there are many many more of in the 20 per cent bracket So. the young Democrats figure that by soaking the so called rich guy with larger percentage we will he dumb enough to think they doing us favor and consequently will vote for them The only ao- vantage in graduated taxation is to the pohucah' It gets him more votes Of course it ruins the coun try too, but they don't care

man Bovkin and some of his poli- tical allies in Mobile, but, in the end. 16 of the ballot manipulators pled "No defense" and were sen fenced.
 Today Mobile is waiting patlent- ly for U. s. Judge Daniel Thomas to make public the Grand Jury's report which puts the finger on Mobiles interesting system of vote repeaters from red-light districts; while Congressman Boykin, is breathing heavily, hoping Judge Thomas won't.
 By this time some folks were be- ginning to think Everything is made for love" Boykin should be called Everything is made for votes" s@sk seR
 Chapter No. 1.-The way Boykin pulled wires in the Ripps- Mitchell tax-fraud case has already been partly publicized. But the real story is how Congressman Boykin had protected Joe Mitchell for years and what, if anything, he got in return.
 When Kitchen was caught tap ping the Mobile city water main to supply his negro tenement house, Boykin's friends allowed him to settle the bill out of court.
 In 1943, when tires were ration ed, Mitchell was caught stealing tires from a Tupelo, Miss, filling station, but got off when his old friend Congressman Boykin inter- vened. Mitchell even got $500 of his original bond back.
 In 1945 Mitchell was convicted for violating the election laws and sentenced to 50 days hard labor. During this trial two key witnesses disappeared and later swore they were paid s100 a week by Mitchell to stay out of town. Later, the case was reversed in the Supreme Court.
 Despite this background, how ever, Congressman Boykin pestered Lamar Caudle necessarily in order to protect his friend from tax-fraud prosecution. Boykin had got the art of wire pulling down to science, and he used the science for his own ends, not the ends of the people who elected him. Today he rates as top illustration of how corruption can insidiously, almost imperceptibly, spread through gov- ernment.

When you soak this rich guy you only cuttnig your throat Did you ever stop to think that before you and I could make enough to pay the 20 per cent tax, some guy had to up some money and take chance by starting out business in which you and could work? Did you stop to think that without these fellows who smart enough to save little extra money, you and wouldn't have as much VIC have and the chance to get even more?
 Who was largely responsible for starting this idea of graduated taxation? He was the son of very rich man. He flunked out of school He was un- happily married and had four children, three oi whom committed suicide. He grew to hate anyone who was successful. His name Karl Marx. Think it over and think for yourself.

Yet lot of dinners, sprinkled with hunting dIipSAana thoughtful presents of turkey ana yenison have an accumulative e1- feet. And just two weeks after this dinner. one of Boykins major RFC loans was granted.
 But to study the case history of "Everything is made for love Boykin. here are four chapters of his life in Washington, showing how his backslapping and wire pull ling ends in corruption.
 FAST LOAN
 Chapter No. 1-Deals with Boy kin's amazing wire pulling which cot a s455,758 loan for the Stutts Lumber Co. of Thomasville, Ala, described in this column June IA, 1851. Not only did the congressman have a contract to sell his timber to this company, but Suits inn mediately used S300,000 of the REC lean to pay an overdraft at the Thomasville Bank and Trust Co., two of whose officials have now been indicted.
 Usually it takes months to get a loan through the REC. All sorts of officials down below have to pass on it. But the eating congressman from Alabama ob- tained his loan on Aug. Is, '49, just two weeks after he had entertained REC officials and other bigwigs at his historic dinner on August 2. The regional director of REC in Birmingham opposed the loan, but it went through the REC directors in Washington with flying colors.
 Chapter No. 2-Boykin turned on the hospitality charm, and the coon meat, at another party this one held under the capital dome in the private dining-room of ex-speaker Joe Martin. Members of the Fish, cries and Wildlife committee were invited to attend this party, sup posedly for the purpose of refuting Virginia's Congressman Howard

Smith and his derogatory remarks about the Love Life of the Rac- coon"
 Congressmen who attended, how ever. were surprised to meet lobby ists for several paper companies, who proceeded to present varlous charts and a ales-argument to win votes against certain OPS controls. Bovkin, colleagues learned later, had wangled a S75O,000 loan thru I the REC for the Mobile Paper Company, after which the congress man and his four children acquired large chunk of stock in that com- | pany.
 cf course, nothing was said about I-Boyis,.'sp interest in paper when he entertained congressrnen in the eX- sreakers private dining room. And when the story of the Boykin party was published, the congressman is- sued a lengthy statement protest ing his innocence.
 By this time some people were beginning to thing that Every thing is made for love" Boykin should be called Everything is made for loans"
 STUFFING BALLOT BOXES i Chapter No. 3-Though never be- 1 fore published, Congressman Boy kin pulled frantic wires to kill fed eral prosecution of vote-fraud case in his home town, Mobile. In some respects this was more im- portant than his efforts to kill tax fraud cases, because it affected the most sacred right of the American people, the right to vote.
 During the May 1850 primaries, local citizens became aroused over hallot- box stuffing and the man. ner in which certain ladies" from the red-light district repeated at the polls as many as 23 times. A local grand jury which tried to in- vestigate was dismissed, following which certain irate Mobile citizens telephoned me.
 I placed the matter before the Justice Department, and Peyton Ford, then deputy Attorney Gen. eral assigned one of his best men, Ben Brooks to prosecute.
 Repeatedly Congressman Boykin phoned the Justice Department.
 Did that fellow Drew Pearson start this investigation?" he de- manded. But Peyton Ford stood pat. So did Jim McInerny, head of the criminal division Both refused to call off the Federal Grand Jury, which indicted 2l ballot-box stuff fers and vote repeaters.

At Inchon, the Seabees capped their loco
motive exploit with job that enabled
General Macarthur to walk ashore dry-shoe
from his ship on D-Day-plus-two. Under
continuous shellfre and sniping, battling a
tide that rose and fell 80 feet every eight
hours with a current of four knots, they
built a flexible, floating causeway Is feet
wide from the beach to deep water 400 feet
away.
The causeway was built on pontoons,
watertight steel boxes five feet by five by
seven. 1t took five tries to complete the job.
Two attempts were wrecked by the tide, two
by the enemy. But when Macarthur arrived
on the battle-ground less than 48 hours after
the first Marine waded ashore, the General
stepped from the deck of his vessel to
broad steel highway traversing the soupy
mud flats.
''Never.'' observed one Seabee Chief,
''was a red carpet rolled out for any

capacity was increased accordingly. As more
and more sailors, Marines and GI's invited
themselves, so did the obliging Seabees
enlarge their theater, until finally it seated
around 1000, at which point both lumber
and patience were exhausted.
Seabees to Frog Mem
Six years ago, all Seabees were Jumped in
one category, the Construction Battalions
from whose initials came the sobriquet by
which they are best known Today we have
Amphibious Construction Battalions, Mobile
Construction Battalions and C.B. Main
tenance Units. The Amphibious CHS are
the men who splash ashore with the Marines
to work and fight as the invasion builds up
to full equipment strength.
You would think that such an occupation
afforded toll and excitement enough, but
recently some scores of the younger men in
the Amphibs Seabees have indicated that
they wanted to be step ahead of the
Marines, not at their heels, and so applied
for duty with the Underwater Demolition
Teams. These teams swim to enemy-held
beaches to locate and destroy mines and
other distractions to an invading force.
From Seabees to Frog Men is stride in
evolution Charles Darwin never dreamed of,
but it is strictly in accord with the Seabees'
self-challenge to get things done.

 The Columbia Pictures release is said to be sensational expose of the $8,000,0000o0 gambling sydicate and it's hoodlum empire, thus &C., counting for the need for protection.
 Kidnap insurance was taken out in behalf of the stars and director Joseph H. Newman, and Los Angeles police assigned a number of it's top flight gangster squad officers to the production. In Los Angeles, in Bould- CT Dam and in other communities where the picture was filmed. in order to tell the story where it hap pened the way it happened, city, county and state police cooperated fully. During the climactic sequence es of the picture, in the labyrinthine tunnels of the dam rangers of the U. s. Department of the Interior were on hand to see to it that no overt incidents took place.
