work, that the ship, christened
the Henrietta, was even cleared
out of Charleston. She register
ed over u hundred tons.
Lauded as one of the "fast
ships, the Henrietta left the port
Of lilo lilo with full gail blowing,
and "a days later, she cleared the
Straits of Sunda. Four other
ships, leaving at the same time,
required 40 days to cover the
SEINE distance.
Then in 1894, the Henrietta
was in Yokohama, loaded with
500 tons of maganesse ore and
other goods for the American
ports. She was caught in a ty-
phoon. Cargo was heaved over
the side, and even the masts we're
cIIt away, in an effort to save the
valian tship. But 10 no avail.
The Henrietta, pride of Bucks
vile, was cast up on shore, and
ground apart. The crew had
managed TO save themselves.
In time, the Bucks located an
other mill at what today is
known as BuckSport. Then it
was called, simply, Lower Mill.
Then came the era Of the
steam engine powered boat, and
Bucksville and Bucksport took a
hard blow. Little by little, the
trade shifted away from the
solid windblown skooners. And
with it, the life of Bucksport and
Bucksville ebbed.
Today, Bucksport still retains
a little Of its former life: mainly
IN the form of lay-up basin for
small pleasure craft.

Liberation of Hoiphonq

In keeping with the Geneva settle
ment, Haiphong-the big seaport of north
ern -China-has now been handed
over to the Communist forces of Ho Chi
MIMI And they have moved into the
place in typical Red totalitarian fashion,
as agents of repression and purveyors of
fear and terror
Thus, to mark their entry into this
once-free city of 100000, Hos minions
have sent sound trucks through the streets
to blare out the following order: Every
person who elaborated with the French
and Wet Namese must report Immediately
to the nearest police station" Moreover,
Threatening long imprisonment for thou
sands of men and women the order has
warned citizens to act as informers against
each other-Wife against husband, sister
against brother, friend against friend--if
they want to make things safe for them
selves Finally, in addition to being told
about curfews and similar restrictions,
the whole populace has been instructed to
cheer for the victory" that the Communist
"liberators" have won.
So liberty has died in Haiphong, but
there is nothing surprising about the death.
This Is what always occurs when commu-
nism takes over any place anywhere.
This is Red totalitarianism following its
invariable pattern of action. In short,
despite current Communist peace talk, this
is why people who are still fortunate
enough to be free must continue to be

On your editorial page Of
May 6, appeared an article
concerning the tragic death of
the Blankenship boy in New
York City. The editorial,

concerns itself about this prob
lem of juvenile delinquency.
But the real problem is adult
delinquency, and one could de-
velop a very excellent case
against our elected representa-
tives and against The Star
also from the pages of your
May 6 edition.
The point is this: You're not
going to have any improve
ment in the conduct of young
people SO long as their elders
demonstrate daily that expe-
diency always is to be preferred
to what is honest and right.
And now for The Star: Just

baseness in people: Forbid
den Women" Blackboard

Night" Out of one side of your
editorial mouth you preach
against delinquency and out Of
the other side you encourage
1t with sensuousness and front
page attention to the sleaziest
of crimes. Juvenile delinquency
is rampant because the parents
Of kids encourage it by their
own conduct. The newspapers
could help to clean it up but
they won't do it.
BY and large, kids are decent
and want to do what is right.
They don't have much of a
chance, however, when their
elders and their newspapers
feature a base approach to sex.

Chonqe the Law!

If the civil service law requires the
Police Department to grant special-and
absurd-favors to military veterans in the
department, the law ought to be changed
at once. Certainly some absurd and pos
s1bly dangerous situations would result
under the belated invocation by the Com
missionerS of the Veterans Preference Act
IN police disciplinary cases. Police Chief
Murrays concern over this surprising
development is Well-founded
District officials explain that the
preferential provision as it affects veteran
policemen has been on the books for 10
years, but never was applied in police
disciplinary cases until the attorney for
suspended policeman. Private Harold E.
Jones of the Ninth Precinct, raised the
point in an appeal from a trial boards
dismissal verdict. The Corporation Coun-
sells office says that when the Veterans
Preference Act was under consideration
the District sought to have policemen
and f1remen excluded, without success.
Strangely, the extra protection afforded
veterans in suspension incidents was
Ignored until two 1remen invoked the
safeguards about year ago. Their appeal
to the Civil Service Commission was upheld
oy the commission. Apparently as an out
growth of that ruling, the law was cited
by Private Jones' attorney as part of
claim that his suspension and trial were
invalid. The Commissioners, in sustaining
the claim that veterans privileges should
be extended to the suspended officer, made
1t plain that hereafter the preference pro-
vision would apply in all police and fire
cases
The veterans law states, among other
things, that a veteran cannot be suspended
without "a hours written notice AS Chief
Murray has pointed out, this would prevent
the department from taking immediate
disciplinary action to protect the public
IN such an extreme case as that of drink
crazed officer f1ourishing a gun or driving
police car. The Police Chief would have
to leave the berserk officer on duty for "a
hours before suspending him. Any law
which might so handcuff the Chief is bad
law. The present trial board procedures
contain reasonable and adequate safe
guards for policemen accused of wrong
doing.
