I ortlaRld Plans Big
Civic Luncheon
For Alaska Day

Portland, Oregon, will again cell
citrate Alaska Day with a big
civic luncheon planned for Feb
ruary 1st at which the speaker
will be Elmer E. Rasmussen Of
Anchorage, president Of the Bank
Of Alaska.
Portland's third annual Alaska
Day celebration will be sponsored
by the Portland Chamber Of Com
merce, according to Harold Gill,
chairman Of the chambers Alaska
committee.
AS in the past, the chamber
luncheon will feature what the
people outside" consider to be
exotic Alaskan foods: reindeer
steaks from Kotzebue, Kodiak
king crab and the like. These are
being flown into Portland by AL
aska Airlines and Pacific North
ern, the two air carriers which
have direct connections between
Portland and Alaska points.
A big hit in past years has been
the shee fish, which inspired this
widely quoted verse by Chairman
Gill at the luncheon last year:
From Kotzebue comes strange
seafish
Which Eskimos eat and call shee
fish.
But how in the deuce
Do they reproduce,
Unless some Of the shee fish are
he fish?
Gill invited all Alaskans plan
ming trip "outside" around the
first Of February to be sure to
attend the Alaska Day program.

The Americans in later indiv-
idual interviews voiced Red pro
paganda catch-phrases and praise
for the Communist Command.
They looked newsmen squarely in
the eye as they answered ques-
tons.
Why choose Communism?
Sgt. Larrance v. Sullivan Of
Omaha: "The American people
know how the Negro is treated in
the United States. Definitely this
is one Of my reasons Of
course, my desire to work for
world peace is the main reason.
I can't speak out for peace in
America without being perse-
cuted."
Cpl. Morris R. Wills, Fort Ann,
NY: people who voice an opin-
ion for peace in the United States
are prosecuted and their voices
suppressed. There is not a demo-
cratic government in the us.
as long as McCarthyism and Nc
Carranism are allowed to exist
the people cannot be allowed to
fight for peace.
''There is no freedom Of speech
people in office in the United
States were put there by those
who hold monopolies and control
money"
The 81 Americans looked heal
thy, rosy checked and warm i'll
their huge blue padded Chinese
overcoats.
They were cheerful, had good
flesh on their faces and looked
well-fed.
The extraordinary news confer
ence appeared designed to get the
Communists off the hook and let
them accept the pro-Red POWs
as free men rather than war pri-
sOners.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the
Defense Department said the
Army has prepared dishonorable
discharges for all q. Secretary Of
Defense Wilson overruled Army
recommendations for more lenient
undesirable discharges.

Wilson Gets Deluge OF Communications As

old boy could be drafted and sent
to Korea to be shot at and he
didn't have enough gumption to

Then he swung into the state
ment upon which much of the SUBJ
sequent controversy centered:
I "I've got a lot of sympathy for

By the following day, kilograms
and letters were beginning to ar
rive at Wilson's office, before the
secretary had arrived back in
Chicago. He apologized in the
course of it, but said too his re-
marks had been distorted by cleft
wing" opponents.
When the defense chief met re-
porters at Washington Oct. IA he
said he hoped he was through cam
paigning. But he looked over his
friends and decided recently to
make another sortie into politics,
with a speech Oct. 20 at Dayton,
Ohio. BY the time he returned
to Washington, his associates say,
there were at least three new invi-
tations to make political talks. Will

In replying to letter writers who
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-10-22

express disapproval Of his Detroit
remarks, Wilson says:
Certainly it is a sound religious
and social objective to protect men
and women to the greatest degree
possible against the hazards of
life, but this cannot be done by
destroying individual responsibility
or depriving millions of their
freedom.
"The driving force in our free
society is that industry and thrift
have their reward and laziness
and dissipation their penalty. AT
the same time we have developed
social consciousness for the I'M
fortunate. Thus, the American peo-
pie have worked out a better solu-
ton for their economic and So
cial problems than have the people
of any other nation anywhere else
in the world"

is "a difference of ideologies. but

He was Josef L. Kunz, of the
University of Toledo, one Of those
who addressed the 48th annual

of International Law, held in the
Brookings Institution.
Mr. Kunz said that, so long as
the present world situation ex-
lists. "it is unthinkable to estab-
lish universal legal standards. I"
"Such words as democracy,
liberty and so on mean the op-
posite in Washington and in
Moscow" he declared. "This
theological split has led to the
cold war. and one of the prin-
cipal means of conducting the
cold war is propaganda-psycho-
logical warfare"

him, he was plowing a mule in a
cotton patch. No wrong in that.
His mistake was that he never
decided what he would do with
his life.
The Apostle Paul was ambi-
tious. He had plans of his own,
not forgetting God. His consum-
ing passion and purpose is de-
finitely expressed in these words,
This one thing l dol" And then
he goes on to amplify which
brings many other subordinate
plans. He never turned from his
chief objective he went preach
ing Christ" everywhere. He
went places and somewhere"
No man or body is headed right
till he makes at least one definite
decision or choice for life. Then
all others will be secondary and
supplemental to that. Would be
lawyer, minister, or any other, to
assure success, victory, must out
line the course and purpose of
his life as it relates to all else.
One sets his ideal then with ideas
transformed into realities, he
goes on "conquering and to con-
quer" The secret of success lies
in having one big purpose ahead,
of failure is having none.
Our community has both youth
and age that time thus far have
never yet made a choice of voca-
ton or profession and many of
them probably never will. Again,
l repeat the words of one who
had come place to go and some
thing to do" 'If any man will,
he shall" Ask that boy or man,
Where are you going?" And he
will doubtless say, 81 don't
know" or ito get a job" ITO get
married" to have good time,"
to college" or some other indie
finate reply as to the future. Like
Jesus said of the poor, ''ye always
have them" Many of these die
without ever deciding where they
are going when they drift into
eternity. We are admonished,
Choose ye this day."
What are you doing? Where
are you going? Have you great
desire, or high purpose? Better
start now while it is today. The
old man was as right as right can
be, You can't get anywhere un-
less you are going some place.

safety features have begun to
catch up with the power of the
automobile. Power brakes, auto
matte signals, and expanded Wis
ion have made new cars safer as
well as more comfortable. 1t is
regrettable that competition for
Improvement is now forcing
the power and speed factors
ahead.
In all of these changes, the au-
tomobile manufacturers can't be
blamed entirely. They respond to
the pressure of the mass market
of buyers. If the manufacturers
begin to install supercharged en-
gines, It's because they have rea-
son to believe the public wants
them. There ought to be some
limits, however. How much can
the modern automobile be ''im-
proved before it turns into
something else-say, an airplane?
