Quite evil dently he was not going to submit to anything in the way of discipline and there is every indication that he not receptive to advice Away over there in Japan where he had ruled with something in the way of despotic powers for many years,l he quite evidently got out of touch with democratic public opinion or chose to ignore it.
 There are still who believe that he was the right man in the right place There may be more who feel that petoggng politics may have had some thing to GO with his removal.
 Macarthur will go down in history as one of the great strong men in the international scene.
 What will be the ultimate effects of his removal remains to be seen It would appear at the moment to facilitate the movement for negotiated, if not permanent peace in the currently major troubous part of the world

on March 3l, l948, when General Macarthur was running for Presi- dent of the United States in the
 Wisconsin COP primary, and when
 this Senator felt that the most eff
 fective way to stop Macarthur was
 to play up his divorce and his age. The letter, mimeographed and sent out by the thousands at midnight and apparently not under the influence of bourbon and ben
 edictine = was addressed: Dear Folks" It read.
 f. General MacArthur has been a great General. But he is now ready for retirement. He would be 72 years old before a term as Presi- |dent ended. Twice before we have had Presidents who became phys ically weakened during their term of office and both times it had very sad results for our country "On returning to Wisconsin I notice that hundreds of big cam- |paign billboards tell the people to support the General because he is Ia native son of Wisconsin. The Hearst papers. which are booming the Generals candidacy, refer to him as tEe 'Wisconsin-born Gen. eral.' This is not true.
 "The General. was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on January 26 1880 and not in Wisconsin. He is not listed on any poll list as voter in Wisconsin. Neither his first nor
 his second marriage, or his divorce
 took place in Wisconsin. He was
 first married in Florida to Mrs
 Walter Brooks of Baltimore, whc
 now lives in Washington, D. c
 After she divorced him in Reno
 Nevada, he was remel lried in New
 York City. Neither wife ever resi-

 eral MacArthur-Joseph R. Me lCarthy.

Truman's Poor Timing

Administration leaders on Cap itol Hill have been privately gi ous- ing that the President might have timed his firing of General Mac Arthur better-or at least might stop cussing out Senators on the telephone curing the Macarthur debate.
 Though agreeing with the Presi- dent on the basic issue, they feel the MacArthur dismissal couldn't have come at more inappropriate time. As a result of the Kefauver crime hearings and the Fulbright REC investigation, plus Truman's letter writing, Democratic prestige has been at it's lowest ebb.
 However, White House advisers indicate that long overdue clean up is now in the works-the first step being the exit of Mrs. Merl Young, the White House secretary of mink-coat fame. Next on the list will be Donald Dawson who figured in the REC hearings-un- less Dawson clears himself in early testimony.

New State Patrol
Training School To
Open December 10

Applications are now being re-
ceived by the Ohio State Highway
Patrol for enrolment in the 34th
Patrol Training School scheduled
to start December 10, 1851. I'M
mediate appointments to the po-
sition of Parolman will be given
to the graduate of this school
which will be conducted for a ten
week period at Columbus, Ohio.
Application blanks and conf
plete information concerning the
job may be obtained at the Bay
Bridge Patrol post located at Bay
Bridge Corporal G. c. Reichert
Officer-in-Charge stated that only
those applications received within
the next few weeks could be pro-
cessed for the December School.
In view of this Corporal Reichert
urges those young men who arc
interested in Law Enforcement as
career to contact the Patrol post
at their earliest convenience.
After completion of the train
ing period, Patrolmen are paid
beginning salary of $4,000 per
month and advanced to $4,000

OUR MAILBOX

No additional taxes for operat-
ng Port Clinton schools have
been voted in the past five years,
even though operating costs have
continued to rise.
Three (3) mills of the proposed
levy is not new tax-will not
increase the present tax rate.
Three mills expire December 31st
and must be renewed. Two mills
represent a new levy and will in
crease your personal tax by one
two (2) dollars for each thousand
dollars of taxable property.
Additional revenue is needed
because of increased costs of oper-
alton during the past five years.
During the past five years the
cost of operation has increased 1875
per cent. Expressed in dollars an
increase of eighty-fve thousand
dollars. On our present tax du-
plicate it would require an as
sessment of IA mills. to produce
eighty-five thousand dollars. Dur
ing this five year period no addi-
tional revenue has been voted. We
have no magic formula for pro-
ducing money. Had it not been
for additional state aid and in
creased property valuation it
would have been necessary to re-
quest additional millage before
this time.
During the next five years it
will probably be necessary to add
four or five new teachers to the
staff. At present there are one
hundred and twenty-five enrolled
in kindergarten. 1t looks as
though we will need four sections
of each gradevinstead of three as
we have at present.
Approval of this levy will pro-
vide money for replacing some OF
our badly worn textbooks. It will
permit program of painting and
redecoring of classrooms. 1t will
also provide funds for the mod
ernization of the present lighting
facilities.
1t is not likely that any addi-
tional state funds will become
available. A property tax voted
by the people is the only avail
able source of increased income
for the Port Clinton schools The
problem of adequate school finance
is not only local problem. 1t
is State wide. Next Tuesday
seven hundred and fifty-six Ohio
school districts will vote upon
school levies, five hundred and
twelve of these are requesting new
or additional millage.
The difference between YES and
no VOTE means ($133,000) one
hundred thirty-three thousand dol
lars. Fifty-seven thousand dol
lars ($57, ,000) in local revenue and
seventy-six thousand dollars ($76,
