effect, that 1T is not necessary to burn the
house down to clean it. 1t is doubtless true
that the Governors refusal to be volunteer
candidate, and his inSiStence on a draft if
ne was to run at all, Stemmed from his strong
desire to be disassOciated from the persOnali-
ties OF the present Administration.
Even so, and in spite of Governor Steven
sons excellent record of honesty and integrity
IN administering the affairs of Illinois, he has
hard job ahead. No one believes that he
would cOuntenance corruption, whether it be
OF the mink-cOat, deep-freeze type or some
thing much greater The Republicans will
not attack him as an individual. But thew
can and will make a strong case to the effect
that no Democrat would be able to effective
ly Shake-up and change a machine that has
been entrenching itself for 20 years. The
machine, they will argue, would be stronger
than the President and he would be largely
helpless no matter how good his intentions.
They will thus argue that Governor Steven
son would bring in new faces at the tOp-but
that he couldn't do much on lower levels
where most government corruption is almost
always found.
So it is quite likely that General Eisen-
hOwer's strongest talking pOint-unless the
foreign policy debate is developed to where
it OverShadOws everything else-will be in
the nature of turn the rascals out" He is
excellently fitted for this role. His experience
has been in the military field, where an honest
effort is made to pick the best man for each
job, regardless of pull or influence or friend
ship. In an imperfect world, that effort
isn't always successful but it is the principle
under which Eisenhower was trained
On Labor Day the campaigns will swing
into high gear. Then Wen begin to get the
answers to many questions which are fOggy
now.

Last Saturday morning at break
fast ! became kinda panicky realiz-
ing that the week was slipping by
and had no copy, even in my mind,
for my next weeks column. Hayes
has been wrapped up in his books
and studies at Ellington Air Force
Base this past week and his work
has permitted no outside activity.
His fourth P. c. (progress check
was given this last week and that
requires a bit of concentration in
the class room as well as with his
books at home. Here at this school
the boys are taught radar, advanc-
ed navigation, electronics, physics,
and they even learn how to build a
radio from scratch. It's a hard
course, but it's nice to have ones
records as having been through it.

Washington Letter
srEPPE UP

STEPPE UP
Congress will meet October 9Th.
Not in Washington, but in. Moscow.
And not, of course, the US Con-
gress, but the Soviet Communist
Party Congress. This may be an
event of significance, since this
body has not met since 1899, the
eve of World War II; since it is to
launch another "five-year-plan,"
Russia's fifth; will abolish the fam
ed POlitburo, headquarters of world
wide communist activity, setting up
in it's place a TPTesidium" which
is expected to be the same thing,
even with the same faces. But,
most important of all perhaps, the
sessions are expected to serve no
tice on all concerned that Georgi
Malenkov, the fat boy with the low
comedy face and longtime stooge
of Stain, is to be his masters sue
cessor. 1t is even rumOred that the
Generalissimo himself may speak!
The new five-year plan is appar-
emily to be dated back to 1850,
since it will call for an increase of
20 per cent in total production by
1865 over the 1850 volume. 1t has
been pointed out that this is not so
staggering as it might seem, since
the 1866 goal for electrical power is
1872 billion kilowatts, while US is
presently generating 432 billion.
But in terms of fighter planes, or
armor, or submarines, it's another
story!
We hope the men who are now
presenting the new fOUr-year-plans
for our selection here at home will
take note.

than a years defense-time Under
secretary Roswell L. Gilpatrick
has admitted.
Five contracts, dating back as
far as 1916, have now been aband-
oned since the contractor has been
unable TO produce the Goldbergian
devices on which he bid. AS a re-
suit, the same company is now pro-
ducing an interim" gun control,
though, as yet we do not have a
single completely equipped stratO-
jet wing in the Strategic Air Com
mand.
This little incident suggests that
the delays in our whole arms pro-
gram may be largely due to insist
ence on equipment that is still the
oretical. While no officer wants to
authorize armament that may be
considered obsolete by the time it's
delivered, we do believe they still
teach the boys at West Point that
you can't shoot a gun you haven't
got.

THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN BEGINS

Political strategists of both parties have
blandly announced that it's all over but the
counting of the votes-that their presiden-
tial candidates are dead mortal cinches. That
is the traditional attitude of the profess
iOnalS at this stage of the game and no one
with any knowledge of American politics
believes for a moment in its sincerity. For,
as Senator Lodge, a top Eisenhower man,
has frankly said, the Steven
son contest is strictly a horse race. Both par
ties will conduct what is known as scared
campaigns that is, campaigns in which
they know the issue is very much in doubt,
and it is necessary to painStakingly seek
every possible vote.
1t was inevitable that the first task un-
dertaken by each candidate was to attempt
to heal the deep party schisms that were
created at Chicago. General Eisenhower
has consulted at length with leading Taft
hackers, and seems to have won their will
ing support. Governor Stevenson has done
the same thing with the embittered sup
pOrters of KefaUver, Russell and Hartman
The top men know that, in both cases, a very
high degree of party unity is the number /
requirement.
1t is universally believed that the two
candidates will personally conduct high
level and very dignifed campaigns, as po-
lltlcal campaigns go. The Slugging and the
dirty fighting, if any, will occur at the lower
levels. Judged by their backgrounds, ca
reerS, and characters neither General ESen-
hover nor Governor Stevenson seem the sort
who could lower themselves to ranting and
name-calling. If this is true, it will GER
talnly be an important service to national
unity in itself
Governor Stevensons most difficult task,
it is now evident, has been to diSassOciate
himself from President Truman The Pres
ident had planned to make one of his driv-
ing, whlstle-stOp campaigns on behalf of
his party's candidate. 1t is now reliably re-
ported that this is the last thing Governor
Stevenson wants. There is great significance
in the fact that the Governor insisted on
moving headquarters from Washington to
Springfield He means to be his own man
not the Presidents or anybody elses.
The Eisenhower campaign got started
when the General spoke at the Veteran of
Foreign Wars encampment in Los Angeles.
The General made an appealing talk, brief
and sincere, in which he offered ten-point
program to create an America "clOSer to our
hearts desire" His points included: to in
crease Americas spiritual, creative and ma
terlal strength; to win a just and lasting
peace; to build a prosperity not based on
war; to protect the earnings of the people
from taxes and imitation, and to insure that
those who serve in government are Ameri-
cans OF loyalty and dedication. Such goals,
he said, are all within our reach.
Afterwards the General was given a
medal by the VFW. And his manner of ac-
ceptance cast revealing light on his char
acter and way of thinking-he accepted it..
he said, not for himself, but as a represen-
tative OF all soldiers and comrades.

less of how much progress we've
made, we still have a long way
to go before we have any right
to expect an informed and I'M
biased observer to write: Flor
ida clearly leads the nation in
having eliminated race prejudice
and minority discrimination"
Yet that is goal not only de-
sirable, but attainable.
Here in Pinellas County we
feel that we've gone a lot further
toward that objective than per-
haps any other area in the state.
We're proud of the fact that
when there was a genuine Ne
white rape case in Clehr-
wafer a few years ago that it was
handled as calmly and with as
little disorder as though no race
angle had been involved.

We're proud of the fact that we
have a good Negro registration
and turnout at the polls, that the
finest school now building is a
Negro school, that there are
friendly relations between the
white and Negro communities.
Yet, in a county surrounded by
water we have neither beaches
nor pools where Negroes may
swim. In our downtown section
there is no place a Negro can eat,
or go to a rest room. We have a
distinct double standard on
wages and jobs availability. We
have white, but not Negro junior
college facilities.
Moreover. in this city of
churches. we have hotels and
clubs which maintain a Chris
tians Only" policy. Almost all
our service clubs bar Jews from
membership. Relations between
the Catholic and Protestant
groups are not too warm-with
some blame on both sides.
Some day some national maya
zine or Northern newspaper, we
hope, will publish a story about
our racial and minority relations
which will make the most parti-
san Floridian swell with pride.
But before that happens, we have
to earn it. And we haven't done
so yet.

SILVER SALMON RUN AT GOOSE BAY IS DISAPPOINTING

Valley fishermen who relied on Fish and Wildlife Service assur- ances that there would be plenty of silver salmon for personal use after the Knik Arm salmon fish ing ban was lifted August IA have been disappointed.
 According to the most optimis- tic reports, fishing in Goose Bay is poor. George Small opined that it's waste of time going all that distance-"There just aren't any fish"
 Bailey Theodore, who has fish ed for years around Knik, re- ported 12 fish in three tides. An other Knik resident named Red dington caught 40 fish the first day, but has caught only three since, according to report. Two or three other parties were netting at the bay Tuesday and caught only 10 fish among them in two tides.
 Silver salmon gong through the weir at Fish Creek are few and far between, observers say.
 A happier fish story came out of Anchor River, just 15 miles north of Homer. Four local men flew down there last Thursday Fred Byers with Jack Dodge and Clair Stock with Roy Brock. Fish ing the Thursday night and Fri day morning tides, they got their limit in Steelheads and excep- tional catches of silver salmon and sea-run Dolly Vardens. Caught just few minutes out of salt water, the fish were described as particularly good" Editors comment: Ummm.

DECISION ON ASSAULT CHARGE DEFERRED TO SEPT. IS

Decision on the case of the United States versus Harold A. Nickle of Wasilla was deferred by U. s. Commissioner Dorothy Saxton last Thursday afternoon until September Is at 10 am.
 Nickle was charged with as- sault with intent to do bodily injury on complaint of K. Vest enbarger, president of the Matan- uska Valley Sportsmen's Club. The alleged assault took place at the so-called duck flats area just east of the Seward meridian ,on which Nickle has a cattle grazing lease. The Sportsmen had a cabin on the site and had established a rough landing field there for the convenience of duck hunters. Westenbarger and Al Dickow had been made a committee to in- vestigate reports that Nickle was using the cabin and that he had plowed up the landing field.
 The discussion and aftermath on the occasion of the Sports mems visit to the grazing site were the subjects of testimony given by Nickle and his wife Dorothy, Westenbarger, and DickoW.
 Testimony of MT. and Mrs. Mic kle suggested an unfortunate pre- Jude to the meeting when Wes- tenbarger allegedly buzzed his plane over the cattle, causing them to flee after they had been herded together, and then fright ming a horse held by the Nickles' young daughter. Their testimony also suggested an offensive man. ner on the part of Westenbarger when he presented his complaint. According to Mrs. Nickle's testi- mony, Nickle started the fight with two punches after Westen- barger advanced on him with clenched fists.
 Westenbarger and Dickow in separate statements denied any intent to scare the cattle, and the initial meeting they described was not nearly as rude as that pic.

Federal Excise Taxes Help Bolster AIosko Sports Program

Recent allotments to Alaska from two federal tax sources will add $150,000 to bolster sports pro- grams in the Territory.
 From the Pittman excise tax on arms and ammunition comes one Alaska allotment of $75,0OO. This money will be used on wildlife resources under direction of the Fish and Wildlife Service. The total tax fund from this source amounted to $10,679,OOO. Allot- ments from the fund to other ter ritories and states were: Hawaii. $25,000; Puerto Rico, $1O,000; Vir- gin Islands, $10,0O0; Washington, $275,00O; Oregon $245,938.
 From the ten percent excise tax on fishing rods, creels, artificial lures, baits, and flies (paid by manufacturers) Alaska receives $75,000 for sport fishery restora- ton. The money is to be used by FWS for sport fishery restoration. An additional amount of money from the fund is provided for ad- ministration of the program. To- tai amount of the tax to be divid- ed among states and territories was $2,508,527. Oregon was ap- portioned $52,026 and Washing ton, $61, ,000.

Come Labor Day Morning, Ma tanuska Valley sportsmen will have a hard time to decide where to go hunting first. The season on mountain sheep will be over, but the seasons on moose, carl bou, mountain goat, and migra- tory fowl open on the same day, Monday, September l. At least, the first two days of the Matan- uska Valley Fair will not inter- fere with their legal hunting.
 Moose
 One bull moose with forked horns or larger is permitted each licensed hunter in the Turnagain Arm, Knik Arm drainages and in Knik Arm during the open sea- son September 1-20. Except for a permit hunt December 1-1O, there will be no other open sea- son on moose in this area in 1852.
 Caribou
 The open season on caribou is from September 1-30 in the area south of the Alaska Range ex- cept for the Mt. Sandford area. This year the hunt is limited to caribou bulls with forked horns or larger in campaign led by the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen to save the Alaskan caribou herds from extinction by excluding the younger animals as legal game. Limit on caribou is one per year.
 Mountain Goat
 In the area west of longitude 148 degrees w. (except for the Sheep Mountain, Day Harbor and Kodiak Island areas) the open season on mountain goats extends from September l through Octo- Der 31. Limit is one per season.
 Horns of mountain goats taken must be retained for identity un- til the meat has been cut and placed in storage at the locality where 1t IS to be consumed. It IS also unlawful to remove all evi- dence of sex from moose or cari- bou until the meat is placed in similar storage.
