PROGRESSIVE PARTY FARCE

Progressive Party campaign manager E. B. Baldwin,
has written 439 radio stations "a eevslon stations ana
the Federal Communications Commission demanding that
equal facilities and time be allowed Progressive Party
candidates as that allowed Republican and Democratic
Party candidates.
The letters called upon the stations to say whether
they had carried acceptance speeches of Progressive Par
ty candidates for President and Vce-President whom
most Americans have heard Of acceptance
speeches of Democratic and Republican nominees. The
Federal Communications Commission has in the past IS
sued order that requires stations to provide equal ia
cities the opposing political party to offset time al
lowed the others.
Now, Mr.. Baldwin seeks to turn this democratic pro-
cess into farce His Progressive Party is not national
party and there basis for 439 stations and "a tee
vision stations to carry the speeches of Progressive Party
candidates. Nor is there any why similar speeches
by candidates of the Liberal Party any other party
similarly localized should be carried
It to that Mr.. Baldwin is not seeking equal
fly but special favor and the F. c. c. should exercise
mature judgment and turn down his ridiculous proposal
The c. c. should set sort of standard, as to what
constitutes national party and base their decision this
formula. 1t delicate issue, but opporunsts cannot be
allowed to destroy democracy.

CoPTERS HOP THE ATLANTIC

Two hecopters, named Hopalong and Whrlaway,
recently flew from the United States to Air Force base
in Germany The flight staged to determine whether
it cheaper to dsassemble the copters and ship them
by boat or fly them intact across the Atlantic.
The two helicopters which crossed from the United
States to Germany the first to fly the They
went from Westover Air Force Base Massachusetts,
July Is and landed in Germany the first week in August
Thus the flight took approximately the amount of
time as a boat crossing would have required.
Major Alvin T. Sawyer, of Washington D. c., public
information officer who flew in transport beside the
copters all the way the ocean, announced in Ger
that had cost to deliver the hecopters by
flight than would have cost to crate them and transport
them by ship 1t that the hecopter unlike the
ventionatype airplane flies too slowly to make Atlantic
crossings practical from economical standpoint.
When one considers that the helicopters made their
flight during the period of the year when weather is at its
best he must conclude that the test dsproved the feast
bility of ocean hops for hecopters.

Today's
Business
Mirror
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-MountainS of
merchandise will have to be moved
by businessmen on their own hook
once the twin levers of defense
spending and new plant construc-
tion are withdrawn.
That day of reckoning has been
postponed by the steel strikes
showdown of industry and by the
Stretch-out of the rearmament pro-
gram.
But now it's expected to come
sometime after mid-1953. And gov
ernment and businessmen are wor-
rying about it. And both are study
ing what to do to keep a greatly
expanded industry set-up busy and
to stave off a sharp slump.
The National Sales Executives,
Inc. "a group of some 10000
executives directing the efforts of
two million statesmen - offers one
set of solutions today.
The government, Commerce Sec
retary Sawyer says, has under way
a study of business and employ
ment prospects. Department econ
omists have been told to come up
with ways and means of keeping
things going once the defense build
up ends, and when industry, with
greatly increased industrial pro-
duction facilities, has to look to
consumer demand alone to keep it
busy.
The National Sales Executives
admit the danger and have done
some planning of their own. To
help businessmen move the noun
tains of merchandise when 1--WE
find ourselves once more in a Pc
riod of competition" the NSE is
issuing a guide for competitive
markets"
Faustin Johnson Solon, chairman
of NSE's advisory planning COM
mittee and vice president of
Owens Illinois Glass Co., says
the manuals aim is to help point
out ways ito keep the distribution
stream flowing - free from stag
nant polls of inventories, shut
downs and other distractions.
Increase the consuming power of
the consumer, sell him, and plan
for still more sales - that's the
way to beat the slump that could
follow the let.down in defense
spending, the NSE guide breaches.
The volume of capital outlays for
plant and new equipment will have
to be tied in with product sales,
and company profits are also
keyed to sales, NSE holds. So,
within a year or so, the salesman
is going to be the key man in our
whole economy.

Searcllers Sift Debris OF
Uttered Mountain Farm
For Treasure Over $4,000
WILL GIVES FARM
AND EVERYTHING
ON 1T TO NEICHBOR

SOMERSET, Pa. R-The search
of an isolated home occupied by
wealthy man - who even in
death was armed with a gun and
a fierce pack of dogs - is almost
completed today but unsolved are
the questions:
Why did Samuel Jackson King
live in such conditions while worth
at least S68,0OO0 And how did he
save so much?
Treasure hunters who have
probed the debris Uttered noun
tain farmhouse where King lived
have come up with nearly SIS, 900
in negotiable bonds, old currency,
gold and silver coins in addition
to bank books, safe deposit vault
keys and. real estate deeds indi-
eating an estate worth approx
mately $4,000. These were tucked
away in places like a sofa, cookie
jar and a woman's corset.
The whole thing started 10 days
ago when King, 70, was found dead
in q field, on his farm about 20
miles from the Southwestern Penn
Sylvania community. Death was
apparently caused by a heart at
tack.
The Sheriff Karl I. Hare and his
deuutieS went to the house
II thought there might be some
money there" the sheriff ex.
planned. What they found proved
that utterance to be an understate-
ment.
Inside the house was an old sofa
where Kings dog Israel" appar-
emily slept. When it was moved
out dropped a false bottom reveal
ing sheaf of 1000 bonds, with
not a coupon clipped since 1884.
Some $3.50 in $40 and $40 gold coins
were found in canvas sack. A
rumpled roll of old large-sized cur
rency contained hundreds of dol
lars in bills ranging up to $50.
Throughout the house officers
found tin cans and glass jars filled
with coins, some molding with age.
One man found woman's cor
set and was about to throw it away
when wallet dropped from Sc
cret pocket stitched in the lining.
1t contained $130 in large sized
bills.
The corset is believed to have
been the property of Kings sister,
Amanda, who lived with him until
her death 1S years ago. Kings only
brother, who lived nearby, visited
frequently.
Other visitors paid heed to the
signs along the lane leading to his
house which warned keep Out"
Beware" and "This Means You"
Two wills, the most recent of
which gives the farm and every
thing on it to. a neighbor, Earl
Gray, were discovered. Gray
worked for years as a part-time
hired hand for King.

Nations S Death
Rate Drops 45%

WASHINGTON R- A health
study shows the nations death rate
dropped nearly 45 per cent during
the first half of this century while
life expectancy increased.
"All ages have shared in the i'm
provement in health" said a book
published Sunday by the Brook
ings Institution, a private research
organization.
The 1900 death rate of 17.2 per
1000 persons was compared with
9.6 per 1000 in 1850. A decline was
noted in diseases like pneumonia
and similar respiratory maladies,
but increases were recorded for
disorders like cancer and other ma.
lignant tumors.

Lions Club
Campaigns
For Mrs. Scott

The Lions club drive headed by
Joe Allen to raise money and do
nations for Mrs. Inez Scott whose
home was totally destroyed by
fire several weeks ago is sue
ceeding, Allen said today.
Mrs. Scott was living at No. 4
Barrota Lane, in the rear of 615
Olivia street, when fire demolished
her house. She now plans with the
help of the Lions to build a room
on to her fathers home, on land
he owns.
Negro carpenters will perform
the labor voluntarily, Allen said.
The Lions have been publicizing
the campaign for the mother and
her child with excellent results,
but still need more help in pro-
viding housing and household
equipment, and furniture for Mrs.
, Scott
Contributors so far to the house
hold which was utterly destroyed,

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS
BY RELMAN NORM
(For Hal Boyle)

NEW YORK R- Katherine
Towle is one of those women who
make you look twice, even when
the bride is hanging on your arm.
She is tall, slim, grey-haired and
handsome. Her eyes are a cool
blue, cool and appraising. Being
feminine to her finger tips she sell
dom mentions her several univer-
sity degrees, nor what she has been
doing the past seven or eight years.
In large part, this has been to
act as a walking advertisement for
the Marines.
She is a colonel in the corps,
director of the women Marines.
They announced the other day that
she will retire next year to become
the dean of women at the Uniwer-
sity of California. That's her alma
mater. She comes from Towle,
Calf, a town founded by her
grandfather.
"Kay," as they call her out
there, was up to her eyebrows in
literature 10 years ago when our
share of the war. was getting under
way.
The Marines needed women, and
she went in.
Five years later, they put eagles
on her shoulders. The new colonel
was feeling pretty good about
those chicken wings until a certain
day in an elevator. A dear little
old lady peered at the emblems
and said:
81 suppose that means you're
a member of one of the bird-watch-
ers societies. How nice! l just love
birds, myself"
Well, the colonel doesn't take
herself very seriously, but even
though she is returning to her own
chosen field, she is still sold on
the armed services as career
for women.
There are $500 women Marines
now. Their equivalent of 'boot
camp" lasts six weeks, and then
they go on to greener fields.
It's amazing what those six
weeks do for a girl.
Their day starts at S am, and
brother, for the next IA hours, they
labor! They get discipline and they
learn manners. You may have no
ticed that the average woman in
uniform is at home in almost any
company. They learn how to walk,
and talk, and how to be as COM
pleteIy self;reliant as any of us
ever can be.
The Marines lay before them a
future, in terms of education, and
even a career if that's what they
want.
AS you probably know, there are
four general reasons why women
enlist. For some, it is purely
question of patriotism. For many,
it is a matter of financial security.
Others, who have not been able
to afford college education, 60
into uniform in order to get it.
Still others, frankly, are looking
for a husband. And why not?
A great many girls, even work
ing girls, complain they don't meet
any men. Or the kind they want.
That problem, generally speak
ing, doesn't exist for the women
in the services. They are in
position to look over the boys, and
throw the inedible types back in
the sea.
Does a tour in the services de-
feminine a girl?
Nothing makes 'em more angry
than that question. Definitely not,
any officer in any branch-WACs.
WAFs, Waves or Marines-win tell
you.
They say that If you put 1000
women in a factory, or any place
where they work with men, the

been watching us get ready for
the picture"
At any rate. a minute later.
the original man who blocked
your entrance comes back with
a smile and says: you all come
on in and make yourselves com.
Portable"
For the next two hours, you're
a pretty busy little boy and you
regret the days when you re-
fused to learn shorthand. Your
photogr apher is just as busy. He
watches the meeting and he
watches your signals for "shots."
You two people are probably
the only impartial observers on
the scene. Everyone else at the
meeting has definite feelings one
way or the other. Since you
quote all of their opinions. they
are going to say that you're a
bad reporter. After all, they only
want to see or hear their side of
the argument.
Finally. the meeting draws to
close. You shake yourself
wearily. Your photographer goes
home to develop his pictures.
You yourself proceed to your
house to write. You'll both be
lucky to get to bed by 2 o'clock
in the morning. The job can't be
put off though because the next
morning at z o'clock you and the
photographer will be on the job
faced with dozens of other news
stories that are just as important
to readers-whether the items
concern children, sports. or So
ciety. Tomorrow night there will
be another meeting of some other
similar group of officials.
1t is a mad, round-the-clock
whirl that divorces you from
friends, home, and entertain
ment. The one consolation is the
satisfaction of having done a
job to the best of your ability.
P. S.-The pictures are kept
for future use if necessary. They
represent undeniable facts.

THIS ROCK OF OURS
BILL GLIB 3

Would you like to come behind
the scenes of your front-page
stories and see things from a re-
porter's angle?
First of all, you had better
don some armour. Not such stuff
as bullet-proof vests, etc., but 8
protective coating of determine
ton that you're going to draw
with words an impartial picture
of events. You're temporarily
going to be the eyes and ears of
thousands of citizens.
Let's 60 to an actual meeting
of public officials that has al
ready been written up in past
issues of The Key West Citizen.
We won't identify the people or
the place because The Citizen
accomplished its job and there
is no need in causing hard feel
ings. Events depicted, however,
are not unusual.
You and the photographer are
waiting outside the building for
the meeting to start. A spokes-
man of the officials walks up and
says: "Who invited you people
tonight?"
The question is perfectly legiti-
mate. After all, the meeting was
supposed to have been a secret
and though the officials are serv-
ing the public's interest, they
prefer to not allow this same
public to know what they are
doing. You counter the question
with another one:
isn't the press invited to pub
lie meetings?"
1t looks like it is going to be
a night of questions because the
spokesman answers: 'How did
you find out about tonight?"
You decide if it is a marathon
of questions they want, you can
play the game.
"Are you trying to say you
don't want the public to know
what goes on?" you ask.
The spokesman by this time
isn't happy. He grunts a We'll
see," and returns to his waiting
compatriots.
They talk earnestly for a few
minutes and it gives you a
change to warn the photographer
Get ready for a quick shot if
they block US at the door,"
When everyone begins to file
in for the meeting, you and the
photographer tag along. Sud-
denly, one of the officials swings
around and stops you at the
door.
you're not wanted at this
meeting tonight" he says.
The flash of the photographers
DulD StartieS you as badly as the
officials momentarily, but you
ask him to have the chairman of
the meeting come to the door and
inform you of your undesirability.
The photographer gets ready for
another closeup of this denial of
public information.
Secretly your heart trips an
extra beat. You know that as
soon as the chairman refuses you
admission, even for such a minor
meeting, you've got a national
rather than a local story. Every
newspaper in the u. S. will de-
vote couple of lines to the story
and several paragraphs to an
editorial.
Your photographers eyes shine
with excitement. He knows that
the picture he takes, as well as
y ur story, will be flashed over
the entire nation in a matter of |
hours.
After five minutes of waiting, |
shadows move in a darkened |
