Georgia's decision to abolish its
system of free public schools rath-
er than submit to racial integra-
ton came during the 1851 session
of the Legislature. At the instiga-
ton of Gov. Herman Talmadge,
most vocal white supremacy advo-
cate among Southern governors,
the lawmakers voted to cut off
state funds for any school which
permitted white and Negro STU
dents to enroll. They also voted to
withhold appropriations from all
schools if any part of the Segrega-
ton Act we're voided by a final
judgment of any court Of compe-
tent jurisdiction"
Schools then would be turned
over to private individuals or cor
porations and be operated under a
system of grants.
South Carolina voters endorsed
overwhelmingly in the Nov. gen.
eral election an amendment to the
state Constitution repeating a re-
quirement for free public schools.
To become effective the amend
ment must be ratified by the 1858
or 1854 General Assembly. If rati-
fled, the amendment would leave
continuation of the school system
to the Assembly's discretion.

THIS ROCK OF OURS
BY BILL GLIB

1t was a pleasure to see that
Jim Wilder has been selected
outstanding law enforcement Of
ficer of Monroe County," "Jim'' is
mans man and during his work
in Monroe County, I've never
heard criticism as to his ability.
This includes a lot of personal
knowledge too, because three of
us built the station and radio
house he uses at Marathon.
Florida Public Safety Officers en-
joy the unenviable reputation of
being primarily political outfit.
Other State outfits follow suit. For
instance, in Georgia, l was at one
time assured of Public Safety
Officers job for $4,000. It didn't
mean anything to me for the simple
reason that I was already work
ing for the Federal Government
and covered five states with honor
and respect. However, may l en-
phasize that nowhere will you find
better men than on your own
FLORIDA Public Safety Officers"
roster.
You may put your trust in them
because whether it is Jim Wild
er, Outstanding Law Enforcement
Officer of Monroe County, or some
rookie, they are doing their best
to uphold modern traditions of
Law Enforcement. Through politi-
cal pull, / might have been able
to get a job on the Florida Public
Safety Officers roster. It would
certainly have taken more than a
political friendship" to have held
it. Florida patrolmen are essen
TALLY mems men. Have confidence
in them.
There is lot to be said for and
against police work. AS most of
you regular readers know, | don't
think too highly of our Key West
Police Department. This feeling
doesn't go too much toward our
local officers. They've simply
never had chance to get proper
training. Perhaps Dave King will
change the situation next month.
Our Sheriff's Dept. appears to work
harder and study more than the
XIV Police. This also may be due
to the increased responsibility of
their jobs. My hopes are built up
on John Spottswood doing a won
derful job but here again, the work
is an elective post and almost inn
possible to tell what the politi-
clans reaction will be. l have con-
fidence in John, however, and hope
working together we will get
what we desire for Monroe County.
Of course, if Spottswood starts out
the wrong way and proves to be
nothing more than a 'lollipop' for
other politicians, well have to
fight him, naturally.
Ethics Of journalism
Most of my life has been spent
studying the ethics of journalism.
This isn't saying, of course, that
I've practiced them in all situa-
tons. Most of us have our weak
spots and sometimes personal ami
mostly can enter the picture. In
the majority of cases however,
attempt to be truthful.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-12-09

l feel that I'm taking such a
stand when ] suggest that we need
a better and more modern police
department. If Joe Kemp is willing
to stand up and take a modern
police examination, I'm all for his
being retained - providing he can
pass the exam. that he knows
what he is doing when he issues
orders. I'm not fighting Joe Kemp,
| merely want to see our police
men protected so that they can
do a better job.
This is short column for to-
day. Probably, we've already said
too much.

NEW AUTOMOBILES

The introduction of new models by the major auto
mobile companies again poses the consumer with
temptations to trade in the old fivver on souped-up
model In general the 1913 model do not represent
radical changes, although there some exceptions
One of the interesting features of the automotive
trend in the last two years is the striking increase horse
power some of the larger models now offer. Whereas
l5Ohorsepower thereabouts the top power offer
ed in the larger in the years following World War H.
some of these models offer power ranging be-
tween $50 and 200 horsepower.
Just what driver do with 200 horsepower for
instance yet not clear to u.s. although presumed
that he do everything little smoother than with less
power It also follows that he do faster if the en-
CINE tuned to such power than in less powerful auto
mobiles
Since most of the major companies are making their
cars lighter and lighter the problem will soon be reached
if it has not already been of how to add more power to
an automobile already amply supplied with power per
pound Of weight If the trend toward more and more
horsepower continues and the continue to be lighter
the only answer is the addition of collapsibe
wings which will enable the motoris to spread them out
when ne applies maximum power and leave the conges-
ton Of todays overcrowded highways to the scknthe-
muds.

CAMERA SAYS
BETHUNE SAFETY
AGAINST FAMCEE
"TAIN'T so"

TALLAHASSEE - Movies of
the Bethune-Co Cookman and Flori-
da A and M College football team
made by Horace Jones, Famcee
cameranan, show that the second
quarter safety recorded by the
Daytona Beach team was not a
safety. This statement was made
last week by Rattler Coach Jake
Gather.
According to the movies, he
said, John Arnold, the ball car
rier, was at least one or two yards
from the end zone before he was,
tackled by Clyde Sanders, defen-
sive back for Bethune and driven
into the end zone. The movies
show very clearly that Arnold
never was in the end zone with
the ball before being driven back
by Sanders, his forward motion
without a doubt was at either the
one or two yard line. AS far as /
am concerned the score is 81
but l feel that the public is en-
titled to know. The movies are
available for anyone to see at
anytime, Coach Gather stated.

The choice of wood indicates
