ABOLISHINC r. F. C. is NOT
THE ANSWER

Demands for abolition of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation have in
creased in Congress as the Senate Subs
committee investigating alleged political
influence and favoritism in lending oper-
ations has given publicity to testimony be-
Gore it.
The revelations about the Give per-
centers" and others who sell real or as
serted influence have been damaging to
She R. F. c., thus enabling its enemies to
demand the termination of the lending
agency.
The critics seem to miss the main
point, however To abolish the R. F. c..
-mould not touch the practices of the Give
per center9' or thu others who sell Gins
fluence" Denuciation of the lending
agency for having "degenerated into an
instrument for the peddling of influence
as the Republican policy committee of
the House asserts, is not getting at the
source of the trouble This, unfortunate
ly, goes far beyond the R. F. c., or any
other specific governmental agency.
While it may be something of a sop
to public opinion to take drastic action on
she R. F. c., there is more merit in the
suggestion of Senator j. William Full
bright, chairman Of the subcommittee,
who suggests that a commission of dis
tinguished citizens be set up to investi-
gate moral standards in government"
This would include, the "moral standards"
of those who work for the government,
those who deal with the government and
the members of Congress and executive
agencies.
Very much the same observation ap-
plies to the statement of Senator Harry F.
Byrd, of Virginia, who would abolish the
r. F. c. because it has become $50 per-
meated with political favoritism that it
should be completely cleaned out" He
denounces it as IAN agency of favoritism
improper influence and perhaps criminal
practices and says that it is being used
as workshop by get-rich-quck-poit
predators."
There may be merit to all the denun-
citation of the agency that the Virginia
Senator utters but the political moral
delinquency" which he abhors does not
exist in an abstract agency, but in the
people who deal with it and who operate
and supervise it The question is not the
life or death of one governmental instru-
mentality, but the existence of similar
attitudes and practices with many or all
governmental agencies.

THAT SPLIT SECOND

The Citizen published story Tues
day about the unusual number of acct
dents that had occurred in this area in
the last few days. The story concerned
the loss of two lives that would have been
saved if the driver of the car would have
observed the warning, Look where
you're driving" $780,
Nobody knows positively just how
that man and his 13-year-old son came to
be killed at the Stock Island bridge, other
than he was not looking where he was
driving AS Citizen readers may recall, it
was windy at the time of the accident, and
the first report was that the drivers hat
blew off and he turned his head an in
slant and grabbed at the hat. Another re-
port was that he turned his head to glance
at the stretch of sea toward Cow Key.
Both stories were conjectures for
nobody was left to tell the tale and no
pedestrians or persons in other cars were
present to see the crash. But again, of one
thing we may be certain, had he been
watching where he was driving he would
not have run head-on into the bridge abut-
ment, resulting in a crash that broke his
and his sons necks Neither does anybody
know how fast the car was travelling, but
everybody, familiar with cars, knows ii
requires only a split second of inatten-
ton, when a car is running fast, for an &C
cident to happen.
A man or a woman is not a careful
driver if he or she does not look constant
ly at the stretch or road. Even when a car
is running comparatively slow, we know
of drivers who went over the shoulder Of
road when their inattention to their
driving lapsed a second or so.
Other good advice to prevent acct
dents is this, Don't go out in a small boat
if you don't know how to swim Even if
you know how to swim, don't get excited
if the boat turns over. Here again The Gil
tizen told the story of one man, when a
skiff capsized, who fell overheard and
of another who drowned because he be-
came fearful" while attempting to swim
to the shore.
But don't give advice unless you your
self act in accordance with that advice
Well, the writer looks where he's driving,
and he was one of three men who clung to
an overturned dingey for five and one
half hours. The other two were j. Frank
Roberts, deputy clerk in the county tax
assessors office, and the late Claude r.
Albury, who was in the immigration
service for many years.
When the boat overturned, the writ
er, after unstepping the mast, said, Boys,
let's take it easy" We took off our shoes
and trousers and, for five and one-half
hours, swan the boat to a bank, baIed out
the boat, recovered the mast and sail,
which had been set adrift and struck Gus
for shore.

for Wyoming but was relieved by
Ray Richards who gained credit
for the win. On Sunday Hickman
dished out the 4th straight setback
of the season to Frederick in a
well-played game z to 4. Freder-
lea held the edge in the early stag
es but Hickman came back strong
in the 8th and 9th. Johnny
Mundt's round-tripper with one on
in the 9th decided the issue. Bill
Hewlett also hit we'll for Hickman
with double and single while Bill
Newman and Joe Scurto had two
singles each. Bob Gibson, former
Milford Highlet, laced out two
doubles and two singles for Fred
erica with Elvin Brown lacing two
singles. Harold Davis hit for the

Clayton will invade Frederica
while Wyoming will be the attrac-
tion at Hickman. Both of the host
teams are on the spot and must
win to better their chances. Hick-
man could go into a End place tie
with Wyoming by upsetting the
visitors while Frederick must win
to keep any hopes they have Of
gaining a play-off berth. A VIC
tory for Clayton and a setback to
Wyoming would practically clinch
the 1851 pennant in favor of the
Clayton nine. If Wyoming comes
through with victory it will mean
that Clayton must keep winning to
stay out in front while a reverse
to Hickman will practically keep
them in 3rd place. Millsboro will
be standing idly by waiting the
outcome of the Clayton-Frederica
clash as a victory for Clayton will
assure them a 4th place play-off
position.
With so much at stake all four
teams will go into action with their
peak line-ups. Bob Knight or Lew
Wright will be set to do the firing
for the front-running Clayton nine
while Frederica will counter with
either Dick Kuehne, Roy Kemp or
Jack Moore. Lee Everett or john
ny Sutton will be on the receiving
end for Clayton with Gene Moore
handling the slants of the Freder-
ica hurler.

scenes and renewed old acquaint-

Blackfeet Reservation the fore
part Of the week. She was the
house guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Colbert.
The widow Of the late DR..
Henry Cloud, prominent in edu-
cational work in behalf of the
American Indian and in govern
mental administrative work on
reservations, Mrs. Roe Cloud is,
in her own words. "a free lance"
one who comes and goes as she
chooses, yet always out of a
fine responsibility in g ing
something worthwhile done.
Mrs. Roe-Cloud is the mother
of four daughters, who exem-

1t will be of interest to base
ball lovers of an earlier day to
know that Mrs. Roe Cloud is a
sister of Chief Bender, famous
league pitcher back in the l920's.
Thirty years ago Mrs. Roe
Cloud was a teacher at the Cut

there being a fraction of a long
and brilliant career in the field of
education. She was graduated
from Hampton College at Hamp-

work at Wichita University at
Wichita and the University of
