AS we usher in the New Year,
we must be mindful that the new
ness of the incoming year depends
largely upon our own efforts.
We can make the New Year
new by rededicating ourselves to
the democratic way of life in all
its facets and ramifications.
We can make the New Year
new by cultivating a new sense of
loyalty to our traditions and
ideals.
We can make the New Year
new by reevaluating our past
conduct. by reexamining our
thoughts and attitudes and by
thorough soul searching of our
past behavior.
We can make the New Year
new by mending our ways, by a
determined resolve to preserve
and keep alive the faith which
sustained us through the ages.
We can make the New Year

The boys were all graduated

derful opportunity to study,
said Judge Stone. 81 suggested
to each of them he bring a Bible
to Jail and read it through dur
ing the next six months" He
said none of the boys had ever
attended church.
What is Judge Stones author
ity for the unusual punishment?
Maybe l haven't any," he
said. But none of the boys has
to comply with the order to
spend their nights in Jail for the
next six months. They can
elect not to do so and they can
spend their hext five years in
prison"
The boys will pass their time
behind bars in an unused por-
ton of the women's section so
they won't be associated with
other inmates.
Judge Stone said he believes
too many young offenders think
they can commit crimes until
caught the first time. and some
seem to feel that probation is
an absolute right they have on
first offense."

months, or five years in the peni-
Tertiary.
The sentence has been handed
down by Circuit Judge Stewart
Stone of Guntersville, who de

Judge Stone said he didn't
want to place the six teen-age
boys on probation without adding
some other punishment. Nor did
he went to send them to the
penitentiary where they would
mingle with hardened criminals
The youths pleaded guilty two
weeks ago to breaking into sum-
mer homes around Guntersville
Lake. He gave them suspended
five-year sentences.
But to this punishment Judge
Stone added six months in the
Marshall County Jail from
pm. to Z am. If one of the
youths is absent one night with
out excuse, he will be sent to the
State Penitentiary.
The only excuse the judge will
accept for an absence is a doc
tors certificate.

up. While there have been
some incidents. including some
testiness and exchange Of UNI
pleaSantries here in Florida.
there does not as yet seem to
be a real deep-seated antago-
nism.
1t is not necessary. as you
know, that candidates for
President and Vice President
be David and Jonathan or
Damon and Pythias to each
other. That can be demon
strated by numerous cases in
our political history where
there was little love lost.
In fact, the present cordial
ity between President Eisen-
hover and Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon is almost the
exception to prove the rule. A
ticket is put together by prac-
teal politicians. not for love,
but to win elections.
Senator Kefauyer has a
handicap of which we are all
aware by now. 1t is the lack
of warmth toward him among
party leaders. That. however.
might not be SO formidable a
barrier for second place on the
ticket as for first.
However they feel toward
him, practical politicians rec
ognize that a Stevenson
Kefauver ticket would be a
strong combination. With the
national reputation the Ten
nessee Senator made as a
vigorous crusader in his crime
investigation, he would be an
effective opposite number for
Vice President Nixon in the
fall campaign.
He would give the South a
share in the ticket, while at
the same time offering a
Southerner who can stand
square, without equivoca-
ton. on the platform that
Democrats will adopt backing
up the Supreme Court on its
school indignation decision.
There you have ticket
for the late spring book. It's

'Probers Seize

Two young New York women,
who allegedly went to a Com
muniSt youth festival in Poland
last year. have had their pass
ports seized by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties.
| Sylvia Atkins of Brooklyn pro-
tested the action involved "seiz-
ure of my personal property"
But Representative Scherer, Re-
publican of Ohio, said her pass
port was obtained by you by
fraud" and that she should be
prosecuted for it. Representative
Kearney. Republican of New
York, said he would move to
have her cited for contempt.
The committee also took a
passport from Mrs. Joan Ruth
Gamer of New York. She, too,
objected strongly. A third wit
ness, Miriam Schwartz of the
Bronx, N. Y, said she had lost
hers.
All three women had been
subpoenaed to appear with their
passports. All three declined to
say whether they had travelled
to Poland. citing constitutional
and what they called moral
grounds to justify their refusal.
But after the hearing yesterday

places - they have preached
: Democratic doctrine. Each
would seem to deserve some
thing of his party, not only
for this tireless effort but for
submitting himself to tests be-
fore the voters which no other
aspirant for the nomination
has ventured.
A Stevenson-K efauver ticket
would depend upon several
eventualities. And it could be
considered, initially. only under
two conditions. one applicable
to each candidate. These are
obvious, but are herewith re-
viewed.
The 1852 Democratic stand
ard-bearer would, of course,
have to win top place on the
ticket at the Chicago con-
vention in August. This means
that he would have to do we'll
enough in the final two pri-
mary teSts-here Tuesday and
in California the following
Tuesday-to head of the SEN
ator and convince the delegates
that he is the man to lead the
party against President Eisen-
hover again.
1t can be said that there is
no prospect of a reverse ticket,
a Kefauver-Stevenson combi-
nation in that order. Steven
son would not consider that.
Senator Kefauver insists,
too, that he is running only for
the presidential nomination.
This raises the second condi-
ton, which is the Senator
would have to consent to &C
cept second place. He would
have done that in 1852, it is
known, and it is believed that
he would do it this year if, in
the end, it is offered to him.
There are other factors.
A human one is whether the
two men. by the end of a
gruelling primary campaign,
will have come to feel an ami

sands of voters in campaign
tours in the last several weeks
in this State, which they are
now combing over in an inten-
sive final drive before Tues

hear often as you follow the

Curiosity about the posi-
bility of a Stevenson-Kefauver
ticket has heightened since
the television performance of
the two here at the outset of
their windup campaign in
Florida.
Both were impressive in
their grasp of national and
international issues, as Demo-
Gratis see them. and were ar
ticulate and forceful. They
exhibited the poise of profess
sionais. even though some
viewers who apparently had
expected a dramatic television
political brawl were disap-
pointed.
Wide interest in a Steven

self, recognition of the fact
that the two men have worked
hard for the nomination. as
anyone who has watched them
can testify. and at the same
time have worked for the

Warning Sounded Against Thoughts
That West Already Is Defeated
CONSTANTINE BROWN

When President Eisenhower
scored the tendency toward
''pessimiSm" in world affairs
at his press conference, he
was underscoring. perhaps too
gently, a most regrettable and
possibly very dangerous trend
in free world thinking. There
are altogether too many signs
that the philosophy of de-
featism is gaining ground sub
stantially, most of it seeming
to stem from a sort of self
brainwashing having no real
basis in fact nor logical eXpla-
nation.
Some of it, of course. is a
direct result of the Soviet
campaign to disarm the West
with sweet smiles and happy
cameraderie. The visits of
Comrades Khrushchev and
Bulganin as we'll as those of
lesser Red luminaries are, OF
a certainty, disarming the
suspicious and the fears of a
great many of the more gull
lible throughout the free
world.
More of it, however, probably
can be traced 70 the psy-
chology of the ostrich with its
head in the sand-a myth the
birdlovers say has absolutely
no foundation in fact. There
are just too many people who
want the threats and the men,
aces to just go away. When
they do not go away. then the
wishers begin rationalizing
the situation to reassure them
selves that. after all, this is a
