Florida Times Union staffer
after talking to agents of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
for an hour and o half.

ut was not q confession but q
statement. I am not about to tell
anybody whether I'm guilty or

Two Others Arrested.
The FBI in New York earlier
this week announced the arrest
of two suspects there-Ronald E.
Martin, %. a friend of McKin-
ney's and Clifford d. Ober-
kirch, 81, head bookkeeper of the
Floral Park branch of the Frank
lin National Bank.
The FBI said they helped Nc
Kinney plan the robbery August

Mckinney went to the home of
the bank manager, the FBI said,
and forced him to drive to the
bank where he held up employees
alone and vanished. "
Mckinney was arrested here
Tuesday by FBI agents after q
woman saw picture of him in
q suburban postof1ce. saying the
man was wanted for a 1852 Cali
fornia burglary.
A Brooklyn grand jury two
days later indicted Mckinney
for robbery and. kidnapping.

Mckinney, who said he has
bachelor Of science degree from
Georgetown University and three
years of medical study at McGill
University, Montreal, Canada,
said he wanted to go back to
medical school.
That was one reason he took
q Job as an extern at the Duval
Medical Center here where he
was arrested by FBI agents the
first day he was on duty.
McKinney's wife, Sharon, was
arrested yesterday on a warrant
charging her with being an &C
cessory after the fact. Edward
j. Powers, in charge Of the. Miami
FBI Office, said she witnessed
the division Of money from the
holdup and acted as a lookout.
Agents plan to take Mckinney
to New York next week to face
trial. He signed a waiver yes
terday, permitting his return
there without a hearing.

This and That :.

The bird might have been an escaped
parakeet with wings clipped.
Or it may have been an off-color
bluebird.
There are several white birds, but
they are not seen in this vicinity very
much.
Sometimes there will be an albino
robin, or albino startling; mostly they
have some normally colored feathers,
too.
All-white animals are sometimes
seen, such as albino squirrels. These
are a color phase of the normal gray
squirrel. which also at times shows
black and pearl gray. The black phase
is called melanistic.
The best use Of off color birds is to
reinforce our liking for the normal
ones.
President Harding introduced the
word "normalcy" to the American
people, although it had been in the
dictionary all the time.
It did not really catch on.
Normally" is seldom used, but the
word normal" is very much used, and
says all that need be said.
Some humans are very much obSeSsed
by normality, or the normal.
They shy away from any one whose
hair is slightly different, or who hap
pens to like poetry, and positively fall
over backwards away from any one
who wears his hair slightly longer than
the orthodox length.
An eye that Is "od" offends them.

interpreting Constitution

Last December IA. the United States
Supreme Court handed down two deci-
sions which have received little COM
ment in the press, Notwithstanding
their serious effect upon American lib
critics. In one case the court decided
that franchised automobile dealers
come under the Taft-Hartley Act al
though their purchase and sale Of auto
mobiles are entirely within a single
State. In the other decision the court
ruled that States cannot enforce their
own anti-picketing laws even though
these laws coincide with the Taft
Hartley Act. Previously the same court
decided that, under the Federal Mar
keting Act, an Ohio farmer cannot feed
his surplus grain to his own livestock
without affecting" interstate COM
merce, and a dairyman cannot fix the
price Of his milk sold wholly within a
single State. The effect Of such fam
tastic interpretations Of the interstate
commerce clause of the Constitution
is to judicially repeal the 10th amend
ment. Nothing can be more depressing
than the expenditure Of our billions to
protect our liberties against a potential
foreign invader while the Supreme
Court sows the seeds Of their destruc-
ton. ..-

There is, however. a good love for
the normal that expresses itself In ad-
miration for the perfect.
The Miss America" contest is based
very solidly on this liking for the nor
NAL, which is just another way of say
ing the usual for the time, age and
place.
1t all goes back to the animals,
which rather worship the normal.
It is said that the penguins peck to
death any all-white specimen born to
them.
The black squirrel must live lonely
life, since the normal gray ones do
not like it, though they do not do any
thing to it except chase it away from
a favorite feeding place.
It seems to be normal among the
birds to not pay much attention to q
white specimen provided 1t has some
of the usual coloring on it.
Fortunately, most such specimens
do have a bit of color left, and this
gets them by. as the expression has it.
We recall Whitley, the part-white
common sparrow that spent several
years in our yard. She was about half
white, and mixed freely with her kind,
bringing up several white offspring, all
Of them with more normal sparrow col

Picking Up Tob for Alcoholism

In The Star of September 90, an
article headed, Center to Treat D. c.
Alcoholics Scars in Cost" stated "the
Health Departments $380,000 prelimi-
nary estimate to build an alcoholic re-
Mobilization center at Muikirk, Md.
undershot the mark by well over $1.4
million. it was learned yesterday"
"The new cost figure inserted in the
fiscal 1856 budget estimates is $1.8
million"
Why, in the name of justice, should
total abstainers be taxed to help pay
the cost o. the blighting results Of the
nefarious business of making and sell
ing alcoholic beverages?
Why should not special liquor tax
be levied on all persons who make, and
who sell it, for fund to be used exclu-
sively for the relief of the victims OF
the alcohol evil, and their dependents?
All of this would be but small sum
compared to the entire cost of the
disastrous results Of the liquor traffic.

Hope for Plaza Victims

If the District Highway Department and
traffic officials can find some way of saving
unwary motorists from becoming caught in
the Union Station plaza whirligig, they will
merit the everlasting gratitude of dizzy VIC
Tins of the trap. There will be fervent hopes
throughout the city and its environs that
plans for solving this long-endured traffic
puzzle will not go astray, as drivers often
do at the plaza
RumorS that some motorists have been
found inextricably entangled in the merry
go-round days or weeks after starting out
for drive are, of course, untrue. 1t is no
exaggeration, however, to say that many
a train has been missed by passengers in
cars whose drivers have become hopelessly
confused by the conveyance of automo-
biles, buses, StreetcarS and taxicabS from
every point of the compass. There is a right
way and a left way to go around the circle.
Too often motorists suddenly find them
selves going the wrong way. Some of these
hapless creatures end up at the station en-
trance, although they had no intention Of
going there. There is no use fighting NE
inevitable. Better to go round and round
than to be a nonconformist at time like
that.
Unfortunately, the chart prepared by
the highway people, showing with arrows
pointing hither and thither the proposed
bypass route around the plaza, seemed a
bit puzzling to nerve-jangled survivors OF
the mixing bowl. The officials plan to chan
mel the traffic into lanes that reasonably
alert driver could not miss, however. The
harassed drivers will welcome any form of
relief

progress could be made toward q genuinely
effective disarmament agreement that
would save the United States and Russia
from becoming "two atomic colossi doomed
malevolently to eye each other indefinitely
across trembling world"
Accordingly, in view of all this, it seems
indisputable that our country, together with
the world at large, has everything to gain
and nothing to lose in pressing forward
with the "atoms-for-peace" plan-a pro-
gram of enlightened American self-interest
full of tremendously bright potentialities
not only for ourselves but for the whole of
mankind.

On Shurinq Atomic Know-How

I would like to see an editorial evalu-
ating the benefits to us as against the
detriments or possible damage coming
out of supplying atomic information to
all the countries whom we call "our
friends Who our friends are. do
not know, and anl sure that none OF
the politicians do, either. The fact Is
that we do not have any hard and fast
friends. No nation has any such. They
only have ad hoe friends. I cannot
think of a nation that is not, in its
heart. our enemy. Many tolerate us
because of the system of bribery that
we have been using. AS long as they
can eucher us out Of money or some
thing of value to them, they will keep
on the mask of friendship.
note that in this big-hearted show

Japan. What a rank piece of lunacy!
1t is inconceivable that anybody could
be either fool or ignorant enough to
think. or believe, that the Japanese will
not be compelled. within probably five
years, to do business with Asia. Europe
will be doing business with Red Russia
