Alger Hiss sneak fooled the late President Roose-

their official duties and made deposition that in his
talks with Hiss, he had never said anything to lead him.
Stevenson to suspect Hiss communist of having
conmunistic leanings.
Hiss was a master sneak, far subtle than the
members of the Russian Potburo They had success
for time sneaks ung the world into the belief that
their aims just and right But their undermining
tactics became raw wasn't long before the world
sized them up for what they and still sneaks
While they were accusing the United States aggres

and other nations in eastern Europe And they would have
gobbled up more had not President Truman called halt

But this man Hiss had finesse sneak, much so
he will be listed in history the most accomplished sneak
the world has ever known While beamng devotion to his
government he was surreptousy passing its secret

and everybody else who looked upon him faithful

meat sold in many another city, including Key West
as beef but was the governor of Florida the of
illinois, or any other state where sold bameable
for the selling AS Stevenson heard of the horse
meat racket in Chicago he brushed it, as it crushed
in Key West by the action of a state employee.
Mccarthy and other Republican politicians of his ilk
will continue abuse Stevenson during the campaign, but
the they abuse him the votes they will pile up
for him. The Citizen has said many time that abuse can't
win election.
People who talk about religion all the time often fail

Personally, I've spent quite bit
of time in Texas and folks out that

whether a guy is drunk. AS long
as he can stand up and hit the
ground with his hat - he's sober.
Seriously, such a test wouldn't be
practical in Key West. Not enough
men or women wear hats. If they
did wear them, the whiskey they
buy at 80 cents shot would raise
their hats right off their heads so
you still couldn't ten anything.

Editor, The Citizen:
l wonder if some of the parents
in Key West realize how rude
their young sons and daughters
sometimes are when they get away
together unchaperoned?
A couple of Sundays ago my wife
and little son and l were at pool
out by Monroe General Hospital
fishing. Later some friends join
ed us there.
We were catching a few fish and
enjoying the shade and quiet sur
roundings when in comes a scoot-
er and car loaded with gang
of teen-agers who swarmed all over
the place.
They spread their lunch where
we were cutting our bait, they dove
into the water right where our
fishing lines were splashing and
dashing and yelling and Haunting
sex all over the place.
These rude youngsters have two
beaches where they could picnic
and swim.
Here the water is polluted, its
bottom is covered with tin cans,
and broken bottles, yet they usurp
the only place man can take
his wife and small son to enjoy a
little fishing.
The sharks that nibble our hooks
now and then may sometime nib

Communists Use West Berlin
As Haven To Spread Chaos
$4,000 GERMANS
HAVE FLED RUSSIAN
ZONE THIS YEAR
By TOM REEDY

~ tSVt ~ - -
BERLIN R-West Berlin is be-
ginning to worry that its proud
role as haven for refugees is being
used by the Communists to spread
chaos.
Forty-three thousand Germans
have fled the Russian Zone this
year and made their way to West
Berlin. July hit a new record with
total of 1890.
The flight in July was originally
tabled as spontaneous revulsion
from the East Zones abrupt swing
into outright and complete COM
munism in all walks of life, plus
the threat of CONSUMPTION for the
Red German army.
West Berlin Interrogation teams,
spending long hours in the refugee
camps, are piecing together a diff
ferent picture now. They note sig
nificantly:
The average age Of the latest
crop is much higher than in the
past. Some are as old as rs. Thou
sands are between so and go.
2. A majority told the teams
which screen" them for political
reliability that they had been told
they would receive pensions, or
compensation in some form, from
the West Berlin authorities.
The screening teams reach sew
eral conclusions. One, they say,
is that it is obvious the Eastern
Communists are deliberately try
ing to coerce Germans they regard
as useless to slip into the West.
Another is that the Reds have par
ticularly encouraged the older gen.
Grafton, usually too set in their
ways to adopt communism, to
leave.
The net result has been an al
most intolerable burden on the sag
ging West Berlin economy.
Underground resistance move
ments based in West Berlin view
the refugee stream with concern
from another angle. Their leaders
contend that the very existence of
many thousands of East Germans,
in the West, is a distinct threat to
them. No screening, they say, is
adequate enough to detect if a Red
policeman (VOPo) has fled out of
anti Communist sentiment or if he
actually has been sent on mis-
sion.
There are more than 5000 for
mer "VOPOs" now accepting the
haven of West Berlin. The anti
Red groups regard them with
jaundiced eye, and have warned
their people to be on the alert
against any "Trojan horse" coup,
which could take the form of kid
naping, assault, or merely espio-
mage.
The West Berlin city government
is partly convinced that the East
ern Communists are consciously
fostering a big share of the refugee
flight.
Otto Bach, senator for social Sc
curity, told correspondents "The
Communists are promoting the ref
ugee movement to get rid of what
they consider undesirable ele-
mentS."
Bach cited the case of 49,
year-old man who said he came
over because the Red mayor of
his home town in the East as
sured him he would get fine treat
ment, free, in a home for the aged.
The Red theory would seem to
be imposing added strain on West
Berlin. They know such a strain
would be borne financially by the
Western Powers, principally the
United States, and any chip against
the rock of American democracy
is to them, a step forward.

Today's
Business
Mirror
By SAM DAWSON

6y SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK Up - Businessmen
are swinging around to a happier
frame of mind-if various pulse
takers are to be credited.
Fears of depression, so pro-
nounced earlier this year, appar-
emily have been shelved.
Manufacturers, wholesalers, re-
tailers, bankers, stock brokers and
some government officials are lin
ing up on the side of the optimists
in appraising prospects for the rest
of the year.
A poll of 1,277 business executives
by Dun & Bradstreet shows the
majority looking for increased
sales volume the rest of the year,
and most of them expect their OPP
erations to be profitable.
Nearly all plan to maintain pres
ent employment levels and some
expect to hire more men.
Sixty-five per cent believe prices
will be maintained for the rest of
the year. Sixteen per cent look for
higher prices, while 10 per cent
predict their own selling prices will
be lower.
Those who believe price levels
will be fairly steady appear to have
comrade today in Commerce Sec
rotary Sawyer. He says the proph-
cts of initiation who have been pre-
dieting sharply higher prices as the
result of the steel wage-price boost
and the drouth are just guessing.
He says the facts so far don't
bear them out.
Another group that believes the
country can expect a generally
high level of business activity the
rest of the year is the credit policy
commission of the American Bank
ers Association. 1t is particularly
pleased by the general improve
ment in the inventory position of
several business classifications,
notably textiles and household fur
nishings."
Most of the businessmen polled
by Dun & Bradstreet also believe
inventory troubles have been
, ironed out now. The majority ex-
! pect inventories to stay at present
levels, although some are still en-
gagged in pairing them.
Textile men are especially hap
py. The Association Of Cotton Tex
tile Merchants of New York says
the 18-month squeeze on profits has
ended. Not only is mill activity on
the increase, but SO are textile
prices.
A number of textile mills have
withdrawn their lines in. the last
few days-Some because their or
der books are filled, others tore
price them. The mills say that
prices had fallen so low they had
been operating at or near a loss.
The long-depressed carpet makers
are also anticipating higher prices
and better sales.
Strangely enough, rising prices
usually bring more customers into
the stores than do falling ones. The
trade explains that when prices
are falling, consumers wait to see
how low they'll 60. When prices
start up, customers start to buy
again to beat future rises.
Food professors also are betting
on good times continuing. Harry
A. Bulls, chairman of General
Mills, Inc, Minneapolis, believes
the steady growth in population
assures high demand for food and
other necessities.
Some of the buoyant forces he
sees ahead are high demand for
housing, the building of toll roads
and TV stations, and general CAPT
tai goods expansion.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
Lew Hanks

l have never seen a year more uncertain for hay making than this one. Each day seems to give slight shower or, at least threat en one. What makes it worse is each day our standing grass de- creaseS in protein content. The protein content of grass can de- crease fifty percent during the week or two that it takes grass to head out completely. If you want a high protein roughage, grass must be fertilized heavy and cut early. It should be cut before July l. 1 realize the middle of July is a poor time to start preaching about cutting hay the first of July but there's a second crop coming. Figure on fertiliz- ing and getting it into the silo by September 1. Late cutting is very apt to damage the stand. Brome has to have a chance to build up some food reserve in the roots be- fore winter. If you cut or graze too late, the poor old grass goes into the winter hungry and just naturally starved to death. It doesn't do much growing in thirty below weather or under two feet of snow but it still has to eat to live. Sort. of keep that in mind while you are managing your grass stands. You'll have lot better grass.

GLACIER VISIT OFFERS VARIETY OF INTERESTS

An interesting trip for camera fans, rock-hounds or students of mature, is one to the Matanuska Glacier, offered by the Joe Rich ardsons of Mile 103, Glenn High way.
 Approach to the glacier is made by half-mile trail to the Matan- uska River, a 1853 it carriage ride via cable-way across the river and anothed short walk to the glacier. Cost of the ride is two dollars per person, the only price in Alaska that hasn't gone up since 1946,' Joe said The cable-way is oper- ated seven days a week, from dawn to dark.
 Visitors may spend as long as they wish on the three and one half mile wide glacier. Free mill ing gold, garnet laden quarts and other minerals have been found on the glacier by visitors. Miner als are brought down in the rub ble picked up from the mountains by the 30-mile long glacier.
 The Richardsons are planning to open a lunch room at their site as soon as building materials are obtainable
