U. S. customs officials, searching

up with a quantity of Browning

was only half completed, a French

nothing more lethal than seven
boxes of sporting arms. And while
the customs men suspected a secret
arms shipment to Red-dOminated
Guatemala-where 1900 tons of
arms from Soviet Poland had been
landed eaTlier-the BrOwnings were
found to be consigned to neighbOr-
ing Ell Salvador And while FL
Salvador may follow Nicaragua in
breaking off diplomatic relations
with Guatemala, the ultimate desti-
nation of the seized shooting irons
is, at this writing anyOne's guess.
What is most disconcerting is
that some of those guns that did
get where they were going -includ-
ing the $120.000 worth air-lifted by
the U. S. into both Nicaragua and
HOnduras-may go off most any
time now. And what should be most
embarrassing is that in spite of
our musty Monroe Doctrine, and
our sporadic and costly efforts at
Good Neighborliness, we have not
made any consistent effort at build
ing Western Hemisphere solidarity.

We Must Know Why


AS every sailor knows a ship is
tiny portion of the nation from
which she halls. And, like every
major fighting ship in the U. S.
Navy, the blast-tOrn, fire-scarred
Aircraft Carrier Bennington was a
floating crOss-section of America
The latest casualty list at this writ
ing shows the dead and injured to
have come from thirty-four states
the District of Columbia and the
Philippines.
Survivors reports of the series
OF blasts and fire that wiped out
81 lives and injured 200; the cOur-
age, sacrifice and efficiency of all
hands in rescuing trapped and in
lured shipmates and in saving their
ship and bringing her into port

seriously injured, in which minutes
saved lives-all are now in the book
OF Naval tradition, where they add
a shining page.
But next comes the grim bust
ness of finding out how this TRACE
dy happened-and why. Captain
William F. Raborn, a veteran of II
years of carrier service, who was
on the bridge at the time of the ex-
plOsiOn, whose first thought was
that a fuse magazine might have
exploded, decided this was unlikely
after an inspection. Rear Admiral
John M. HOskins, cOmmandant OF
the QuOnset Point Naval Air Sta
ton, who sent out his fleet of hell
cOpters to speed the injured to the
hospital, and the man who air
lifted $1,000 casualties from Korea
felt that sabotage was unlikely
But, he said, this possibility could
not be overlooked by the Board OF
Inquiry over which he could pre-
side, and which began it's work the
day following the disaster.
In Washington, President Eisen-
hover took time out from the White
House state dinner honoring EN-
perOr Halle Selassie to hear the
report of Navy Secretary Charles
S. Thomas who had flown to Quon-
set when word of the tragedy was
received. Both the House and Senate
Armed Services committees set in
vestigatiOns in motion. A further
resolution by Rep. Edith Nourse
Rogers, (Rep) of Massachusetts
demanded that the Secretary of the

there was sabotage or other mali

This has been another full week
and almost every day has been
spent with new friends or else
people l hadn't seen in months.

Harrington to visit for part Of the
morning with her friends, the Will
Sharps. The Sharps were not at
home and their nice neighbOrs, Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest w. Dean CONVEX
scd with us until we returned to
Milford. While Mother and Mrs.
Dean were talking, Mr.. Dean took
me in his home and showed me
some of the lovely furniture he has
made, and reconstructed. Mr.. Dean
was with the railroad and now is
retired and has lots of time for
his hobby. was just astonished
when he showed me a GRAND
FATHERS CLOCK HE HAS MADE
HIMSELF. l just didn't know such
things were ever attempted these
days even with the machinery we
have now. Such beautiful hand
carvings on the wooden case that
housed the clock. Then in the din
ing room there was this lovely
corner cupboard and hanging on
the open wooden paneled doors
were two violins, one of which MIR.
Dean had made himself. Loving
natural wood pieces as l do, I
just stood and gasped at every
handmade piece shown me, that
he himself had made. 1t was Just
unbelievable. How wonderful it
must be to be so talented!
Friday, Lynne was seven years
old and that day we visited with
Miss Elizabeth Carlisle, known to
us as Aunt Bebby". Aunt Bebbv
now lives in SwarthmOre and we
were so pleased to be able to see
her this trip and let her meet
Lynne and Dawn. She was a guest
OF my Aunt Laura and Uncle Dick
Draper and we were fortunate we
were here still, to see them, too.

with my Cousin Anne Davidson of

to see Miss Barbara Mearns. Miss

POLITICAL POISON

Our present steeply progressive federal
income tax rates run up to 81 per cent. A
new slant on just who really pays this tax
was given by economist Henry Hazlitt in
Newsweek. He makes the biting criticism
that "The workers of this country are being
cruelty deceived when they are led to think
that the rich are paying most of the taxes
because of cOnfscatOry rates. Of the
S31 ,000,0 100000 that the personal-income tax
yields, only about S1O00,000,OOO comes
from the rates above so per cent. Only
OOO,OO0,000, or one-tenth, comes from the
rates above 80 per cent In fact if there
were no tax progression at all, and the
income tax never rose higher than the twen-
ty per cent rate that now applies only to the
net-income-tax brackets below $4,000, the
total maximum revenue loss would amount
to less than $5, 5,400,00O,00
Mr. HaZlitt points out that a 500 in
crease IN the personal income tax exemp-
ton would mean four million people would
no longer have to pay an income tax. 1t
would :. relieve that many voters of anv
concern about governmental extravaganza,
and foster in them the illusion that the
other fellow is paying the bill" 1t would
mean S2,4OO,00O,000 loss in annual reve-
nue. and it wouldn't make financial sense
but It would be politically smart" AL
though no Office holder would dare suggest
such thing the place to cut FEDERAL income

Washington Letter So By Robert Nelson Tovlor

$62,OOO,000, was considered the

good reason to look for skulldug-
gerry.
The Bennington, as we said. was
a little America as she steamed
peacefully along the coast. There
may be an object lesson here.

Abolish The TwO-CIass Power
System
It's easy to be cOmplacent about
the question of public VS.. private
electric power since the Eisen-
hover Administration has nut the
emphasis on local Option-letting
the people locally decide how their
power needs are to be supplied.
But the fact is that free choice
will only be possible if Congress
changes existing legislation govern
ing the marketing of power from
federally built dams.
The trouble is that the laws now
on the books contain a legal Joker
called a preference clause-a state
ment binding the Department of the
Interior to give preference to
municipalities, public agencies and
cooperatives" in the sale of federal
power. This means than an investor
owned utility serving an area right
at a newly built government dam
can buy power from the dam only
II municipal systems or cooper
atives as far as 100 miles away
can't use it.
In fact, the way the system has
worked, it is possible that privately
owned electric companies may
never be able to get federal power
for resale to their customers no
matter what their needs. Public
power advocates in some cases have
successfully argued that the prefer
ence clause means that the federal
government should string trans
mission lines over unecOnOmic dis
tances in order to serve preference
customers. Or they contend that
federal power capacity should be
held idle in reserve to take care
of future growth of public bodies
and cOoperatives.
obviously, under this set-up of
built-in privilege the advent of a
federal multipurpOse project that
includes hydrOelectric generating
facilities, as well as flood control
reasons-autOmatically can mean
the artificial stimulation of public
power. A recent opinion poll shows
that most Americans don't know
that this twO-class system exists
and that they are overwhelmingly
against it when they find out how
it operates.
Perhaps this is the tip-off for
Congressional action
