Mitchell promptly replied be

telegram which characterizes my

This would seem to indicate that
IN advance of q hearing you have
prejudged this case In such q way
as to raise doubts over your ability
to conduct an impartial hearing. !"
Mitchell's appearance before the
committee seemed certain to mark
"a fresh round in the swirling dis
pute over President Eisenhower's
order directing the Acc to con-
tract with a private utility COM
bine for power to be delivered over

ing the Senate's marathon debate
over new atomic energy legisia-
ton. Congress wound up Okaying
a provision which would specifi-
cally allow the contract.
Mitchell took up the issue in
Chicago last week, inimating
among other things that Eisenhow-
er's friendship with golfer Bobby
Jones influenced the award to the
power combine, known as the
Dixon-Yates group after its top
officers.
Eisenhower said he rejected In
nuendoes that friendship was q
factor, and Mitchell said he ae-
cepted Jones' statement that he
did not discuss the matter with
the President.
However, the Democratic chair
man repeated his questions about
the contract, saying it was going
to "cost the public millions 4
dollars"

ADVOCATES MORALITY
Editor, The Citizen /:

Editor, The Ctzen
Why are people so concerned about the fluorida-
ton OF the water and about the Christian" thing to do
about dogs, when they should be worrying the
Christian thing to do about the morals Of their sons
and daughters?
To me, father it is disgusting sight to young
women with brief shorts and often barely enough to
cover their bosoms walking the streets Of city sit
ting on porches displaying their hafelad bodies to the
public.
Is it any wonder young men 60 bsrserk? No
wonder there are unwed mothers and women who de-
stroy their nfans-such the horrible Salt Pond

and learn Gods word concerning the bringing up Of

GIVE A THOUGHT, NOW AND THEN, TO
LIFE AND WHAT 1T MEANS TO you

we listen to a little sound preaching now and
then and adhere to what is told u.s. it will do US good It
makes reflect about the futity and fooshness of
the way many of us treat felowmen.
This editorial is neither morbid nor nawkish be-
cause the idea for stemmed from three deaths that
noted Indirectly in The Citizen It's objective
to try to show how much better would be for all of
if we gave more thought to the brotherhood of man.
The Citizen three succeeding paragraphs
about Governor Dave Shotz, Father A. L. Maureau and
State Senator Arthur Gomez. They were with us at
the time specified in the paragraph and they
on the Great Adventure.
Two of them, Shotz and Gomez, had similar
periences--they had felt the fire engendered by
political fights. The third Father Maureau was
mid-mannered man, who liked everybody he knew and
was liked by everybody who knew him.
But they are gone now as we too must go. Billions
of others have gone too and they here they would
tell you that the best way to live to be faithful to
your felowmen as you to yourself. That reminds
us Of the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would
have others do unto you"
1T is hard to do that because much con-
cerned with self But many people adhere to the Golden
Rule and their adherence sweetens life for them It
makes life sweet because their consciences clear
You can't have clear conscience if you know you
have wronged your ellowmen by word orby act.
Conscience is wonderful you can't help but think
it is Of divine inception. You can fool people, but
you can't fool your conscience. tells you when you
right, and it tells when you are wrong. It is
useless to argue with it. You may try to talk yourself
out of something wrong you have done, but while
you talk your conscience prcks you. You can't get
away from it. If you live in accord with it, you may be
sure you live in accord with your fellows.
It is well for to take "breather' from business
and social activities occasionally to with
Selves and be frank in communing to determine the
life living fufls the requirements of the life
should live.
The late L. p Artman, for many years. had card
on his desk with only one word on it-"THINKp The
aim of this homily is solely to you think in
awhile about the important thing in life to you

ri

licensed wrecker services rotate
the towing duty, say, q week at a
time.
He suggested rates as set forth
by national insurance companies.
He also said that had misquot-
ed rates for towing services in my
article. In his book, he says that
night charges should be $3.50 for
the first mile and $1.2O for each
additional mile. However, he said
that the distance to the wreck
should not cost anything.
The $3.50 for the first mile should
reimburse the wrecker for getting
to the wreck and up to fifteen
minutes work getting the wrecked
car on the road and ready to be
toWed.
! believe that his suggestion is
better than the one / made - in
any event - in all fairness to the
wrecker services - something le-

about these waters and what's in
them as anyone around.
He could not recall anyone be-
ing attacked around here by bar
racuda - but he does know of a
local man (ieweler Frank Johnson)
who was bitten by shark and an
other who lost finger to a moray
eel.
Seems Johnson was carrying a
sack of crawfish near the Casa
Marina pier when a small shark
made after him and bit him on
the hand.
Thompson theorized that the
shark was after the crawfiSh and
that if Johnson had thrown it away,
he could have avoided injury.
A check of several other fisher
men also revealed no cases of bar
racuda attacks.
The University of Miami Marine
Laboratory has only one document
ed case Of a 'cuda bite It hap
pened in 1924 in the Panama Canal
Zone and was not serious.

it."
And, according 10 our informa-

Estimates on the cost of the 81

WHERE'S THAT CoURTEsYl

Editor, The Citizen:
The decision made some time ago by Chief Of
Police B. Perez, to make the Key West Policemen be
polite on their jobs pleasing for all to hear Some
thing must have gone wrong with this project in
cent weeks Overheard conversations and seen actions
have shown that policemen have been anything but
polite The minute they stop pedestrian or motorist
their hostile and begerent attitude Immediately puts
that person the defensive Actually so unneces-
sary because people would have lot more respect for
them if they were nice.
leading citizen recently called our police force
gestapo. Must they be? Fortunately this attitude
seems to be among the young policemen. The oldsters
on the force have shown they be gentlemen unless
provoked into being otherwise.
Please Mr. Perez, lets begin the poiteness campaign
again. There must be . lot of Key Westers who have
had unhappy and unnecessary experiences with these
new policemen.

The town is really booming.
The decision of the P and o peo-

matte phases in a steady upward
swing in the city's minor economic
fortunes.
It seems like everyone wants to
get into the act. First the chain

Key West got dog track. Every
