The World Today

WASHINGTON, -tP)-On and
off for more than $50 years the
politicians of both parties-de-
perding on which was in and
which was out-have considered
government employees fair game.
When they-the outs, that is
peer through the economic briers
they can see large numbers of
government employees browsing in
the lettuce leaves in federal pas
lures, and they blaze away.
Cut down on the bureaucrats
and we'll save money" they say.
This has been called the shotgun
approach, covering more territory
than rifle which is limited to
individual targets.
But Harold Stassen, as a col
lege president, could be expected
to be more diligent in his use of
the language than ordinary politi-
clans who content themselves
with calling federal employees
'bureaucrats."
In the American college diction-
airy. one of the definitions for
"bureaucrat" is an official who
works by fixed routine without
exercising intelligent judgment.
So, while the world is derogatory
at least ii indicates a federal en-
ploye works.
This is a pitfall which Stassen
apparently wished to avoid for he
recently promised to fire 100000
loafers" if he's elected president.
Since election is IL months away,
it would save money if he'd indeE-
tify the "loafers' now. At any
rate, his statement officially
opened the 1852 season on govern
ment employees.
While the Republicans will be
doing the shooting and the De-
mocrats will be on the receiving
end, the Democrats themselves
car be said to have started the
tradition back in 1900 when
Thomas jefferson wanted to be
president.
His supporters, the ancestors
of the present Democrats, put to-
gether the first political platform
in American history with a plank
aimed at the Federalists who
were then in power and can be
considered the ancestors of the
present Republicans.
This plank called for "rigo-
rously frugal administration of
the government. 1t promised
resistance. to all measures
looking to multiplication of Of
ficers and salaries, merely to
create partisans and to augment
the public debt on the principle
of its being a public blessing
And here is statement with
more modern and familiar ring:

Vatican Got
ENJOY from
u. s. in 1848

VATICAN CITY, More than
100 years have passed since the
United States appointed its first
diplomatic representative to the
Holy See.
The first man to speak on be-
half of the United States at the
Vatican was Jacob L. Martin. He
died on Aug. 26, 1848, shortly
after his appointment here. A
darkened tombstone under the
black expresses of the Protestant
Cemetery in Rome recalls his
death.
ITO the memory of j. L. Mar
tin, late Charge d'Affaires of the
United States to the Holy See,
who died at Rome, Aug. 20, 1848"
the tombstone reads.
n A Crisis in Europe
u The United States decided to
#send its own representative to the
#Vatican at a crucial point in Eu-
uropean history: when Pope Plus
TX was showing strong leadership
in building the unity of Italy.
4 After the troublesome period
which followed the fall Of Ma
poleon and the European wars
the European powers strength
ened their missions at the Vati'
can.
Plus TX was named on June
18th, 1886, lived through one Of
the most stormy periods of Ital'
ian history, and died a yirtua
prisoner of the King of Italy or
Feb. Z, 1878.
The American appointee arrived
two years after the Pontiff hac
been crowned. Before 1848 tht
United States had only a consu

Storm in Congress
President James K. Polk,
Democrat, recommended to Con
gress the appointment of a dip
lomat to the Vatican Dec. Z, 1847
Many anticlerical and anti-papa
speeches were heard in botl
Houses, before April /, 1848, whel
the President signed the decre'
appointing the diplomat.
Martin presented his creden
tials and read a prepared speech
considered by writers at the tins
noble and dignified, even if reat
with too much emphasis
Martin, in his speech, said thu
Pope made SO many useful ant
noble reforms that he deserve
to have on earth the prize re
served in heaven for goot
achievement, and who, having de
served the gratitude Of hi
people, has drawn the admiration
of the whole world"

In this past year our strong
est ally, Britain, has suffered tre-
nendous setbacks in Iran and
Egypt, both part of the Middle
East which is vital to the West.
The strength and position of the
West have been badly damaged

Russia.
And while we haggle about a
truce with the Chinese Com
munists in Korea, reports flow
from the Far East about a build
up of Communist forces for an
invasion of Indochina where an
other western ally, France, has
been fighting off Communist
guerillas for five years.
The struggle in Indochina has
drained France of men and
money. If an invasion starts there
We'll have to help with troops
which would weaken us else
where-or help with planes and
ships.
This extension of our forces is
ar unpleasant thought. Yet, the
Far East, with its vast wealth in
natural resources, is essential to
the West. Maybe there won't be
an invasion.
But that won't stop the Com
munists' efforts to communize all
Asia, in one way or another, SO
while we baiid up Europe, we
could suffer a disaster in the Far
East.

Their acts were among those in

1t was Strait who saved another
child from an alligator.
A gator eight feet long and
weighing $50 pounds seized Gerry
Gustafson, 10, and pulled her into
deep water of a Coral Gables pond,

Gerry lost consciousness as the
alligator, holding an arm tightly
with its teeth, rolled over and over.
Strait descended to a ledge and
extended an arm toward Gerry.
The gator released its grip on
Gerry and disappeared beneath
the surface.
Gerry revived, and Strait drew
her to the ledge but the gator
suddenly reappeared four feet
away. Strait helped her out of the
water quickly. Gerry suffered a
multiple fracture and deep cuts on
the arm but recovered.

THIS ROCK OF OURS

SILL eiss

Another violent death last week
adds one more black mark to the
criminal record of Monroe County
1t would seem that during the past
year there have been an unusually
large number of homicides in this
area. Is it a natural increase due
to the growth in population, is il
casued by the general conditions Of
the nation as a whole, or is it the
result of contempt and disregard
for our local law enforcement
agencies?
Those are questions that only a
trained investigator can answer.
There is a good chance that all
three things are partially response
bic.
John Spottswood, newly-elected
sheriff of Monroe County, has pro-
posed some wonderful plans. Some
of shese appear to be practical =
others might be described as idea
liStie dreams. Dreams, however,
have way of coming true when
the right man handles the job. Our
best procedure at present is to sit
quietly and see what is going to
happen.
Spottswood is fully capable of
starting his program rolling. He is
young, full of energy, and above
all, has confidence in himself Be-
fore he can completely modernize
the Sheriff's office and institute
most of his reforms. he is going to
need the support Of the public. In
the meantime, residents of the
County will have an opportunity to
judge whether they wish to accord
him this support.
increased Manpower
Without doubt, the manpower
of the Sheriff's office needs to be
increased. 1t is a physical impos-
Sibility for two or three men to
keep close tab on all illegal opera
tons throughout the county.
Patrolmen might provide the
answer but I'm not too sure. Every
thing will depend upon Spottswood
and, as yet, he is a big question
mark since this is his first real
venture into government.
In the past, I've had occasion
to work with county patrolmen in
several states. Some of them prov
ed to be cracker jack outfits and
others, particularly in Georgia,
