Steinbeck's words are tribute to the late
Ed Ricketts,, his partner on their voyage into
the Gulf of California, once called the Sea of
Cortez.
Ricketts,, who was director of the Pacific
Biological Laboratories until his death. was
fictionaly portrayed in another Steinbeck
book, the novel "Cannery Row." He was the
real-life model for its fabulous central char
acter doc"
THE COVER. Recently we said that Staff
Photographer Hy Peskin will go to any
lengths to get his picture. We should have

To take the remarkable air-sea rescue cover
for this issue, Peslin (clad only in shorts) was

of incredulous natives who wouldn't think of
swimming with the man-eaters incidentally,

The Air Forces helicopter pilot had two
jobs: l. Battle headwind to stay in Peskin's
line of camera fire; 2. Warn against curious

Other hazards: flippant breeze which
blew orange smoke from the signal fare into
Peskin's face: currents which drifted the in

who tell him Tor herr that they know
everything anyway and have COM
piled full admission for the pris-
oner to sign. But in his own inter-
est. they say, he had better tell them
everything in case the SNB have
included something he can disprove.
Should he not talk. he is next told
that his family is under arrest and
that his wife has implicated him.
Stondine Torture
The next stage is the standing
torture" Interrogation by relays OF
queStioners continues day and night,
while the prisoner stands facing a
blank wall. A person with CUTS may
stand 40 long hours of this without
collapsing: exceptionally. records Of
30 and 80 hours standing have been
achieved. Generally. the more COM
plete a prisoners ignorance of the
charges, the longer he holds out.
Eventually, the feet swell. The
suspect sways. staggers and keeps
falling to the floor. Then he is
allowed to put the tips of his fingers
to the wall and the ordeals continues.
Always. if he asks. he is taken to the
lavatory, wearing a mask so that he
cannot be recognized. When his
speech and his control of his muscles
give way from exhaustion, there is a
very brief pause to enable him to
eat and sometimes to drink.
Should all this fail, there is savage
beating with truncheons, chaining

There is hardly any education in

Or the check switcher. He bestows
the latest installment for his wash
ing machine on the tax collector
and his tax check on the depart
ment store.
Or the overcautious property owner
he pays the same tax bill at least
twice.
Or the charitable type who pays
somebody else's real estate tax. He
manages to get the lot or square
number wrong when he applies for
a duplicate tax bill.
Or the extreme pessimist. He shells
out the amount of the valuation on
his personal property instead Of the
tax due. Such a one sent the Dis
trict a check for $3.50. He owed So.
These and other honest taxpayers
cause the District no end of extra
bookkeeping and investigation.
Tax Collector Guy Pearson esti-
mates each check that bounces costs
the city about $3.50. There were
2289 rubber checks reaching his Office
during the year ended last June 80,
many of them defective through no
intent of the makers. They totaled
$133,571.47 in value.

These measures also serve as an
excuse for the dictators and strong

sphere to slap down all opposition

any newspaper publisher or writer

Of all they encourage those govern

arbitrary toward those who question
the actions Of politicians and officials.

long been among the freest in the

and No Cents.
District residents send in thousands
Of dollars in tax overpayments each
year. For real estate levies alone.
Assessor James L. Martin reports. ex-
cess payments amount to about
5000 for the fiscal year just ended.
With all refund claims met. the city
has $21 900 In overpayments Of this
tax for 1850. and $4,000 for 1949.

approve q refund.
The conscience fund" contribu-
tions-which have separate account
Of their own-usually are for small
amounts. But one notable morning
mail recently brought four brand
new $50 bills in an envelope from
New York.
There Is at least one rather con-
slant contributor to this fund. Tax
officials have learned to recognize"
him by the distinctive way he writes
the "T' in Collector of Taxes. He
sent in $40 as early as 1946. Last
year he made seven payments. total

but feel they should make some pay
ment for the municipal services they
enjoy here. Some pay anonymously;
others asked to be billed.
A pitfall for home buyers exists
where the settlement falls between
the first and second half installment
dates for the real estate tax. Some
times the new home owner doesn't
realize the second half hasn't been
paid until he gets the shocking news
that his dream house is included
in the annual delinquent tax sale.
The District is trying to work out
plan with the title companies to
make sure a home buyer will be told
of the tax situation.
1t isn't only private citizens who
run afoul of the tax system. Even
such astute institutions as banks get
into trouble. Mortgage holders on
real estate sometimes don't check on
whether the taxes are kept UP. and
the property is sold for back taxes
before they realize the situation.
Unless the property is redeemed
within two years of sale, the buyer
can apply for deed. If he gets it.

Statistics are worthless. Figures
are avoided and refuge taken behind
uncheckable percentages, or false de-
ductions. For instance: I'm Masaryk's
democratic republic there was a
constant average of 100000 unem-
ployed. In Peoples Democracy, COM
munism has found work for ALL"
But in what way is never men,
toned. Here is where the unem-
ployed have gone: Between 2.5 mil
lion and 3 million Sudeten- Germans
have been expelled. There are about
100000 men under arms as against
100000 before the Communists seized
the country. A huge secret police
force is maintained, 10 times as great
as the pref Communist security force,
apart from the hordes of Commu-
mist party officials, bureaucrats. spies
and informers. Finally, there is a
prison and concentration camp popu-
lation of at least 250,000 Thus has
communism found work for ALL
Propaganda Results
Only since 1947 has the Commu-
mist regime become entirely depend
ent on secret police vigilance. De-
spite the fact that everything pos
sible had been done in advance to
secure a Communist triumph at the
1916 postwar elections. there was no
tampering with the votes.
People were surprised when the
Communists secured 81 per cent of
the votes. which made them the
strongest single party. Unscrupulous
propaganda had made the utmost out
of the bitter memories Of Munich.
They played on the fear Of Ger
many. And they took the credit for
providing the loot.
Soon after the elections. and espe-
cially after the Communist putsch
Of 1948. there was nationwide re- i.
action against communism as its
real meaning became apparent.
Meantime. the party had created the
SNB and this force depends to-
day on the maintenance Of the
eastern Stalinist dictatorship over
an essentially democratic, western
lied nation.
Already in the kindergartens, the
hand of the SNB has replaced
the crucifix with Stains portrait.

prevention Of sleep by draughts Of
bitter black coffee and the use of

Finally, reason, control and con-

kindlier accents encourage the col
lapse by promising immediate relief
from agonizing torments when con-
fession is complete. The semi-human
wreck begins to murmur, stutter,
babble-often of quite extraneous
matters, drawn sometimes from
childhood memories. There is un-
resisting, semiconscious agreement
with every suggestion made.
