Hits Below Belt

Our State Senator, in our opin-
ion, always hits below the belt.
Anyone with knowledge of box
ing knows what this means. 1t
means he delivers foul and I'M
fair blow to his opponent.
Our Senator does this consist
emily by dropping only half
truths. always leaving the issue
unfinished and leaving a hint of
suspicion towards the moral ethics
of those with whom he differs.
To cite a few instances, he spoke
last week about a $4,000 dyna-
mite cost figure. He would lead
person to believe that the pres
ent commissioners authorized this
expenditure. But this figure was
taken from 1854 account He
also would have one believe it was
for an entire year. But records
show part of it was a carry over
from a previous year and included
parts Of two years. He could just
as easily have taken a figure from
1856 which showed a six months
expenditure Of $4,000.
He talked Of overpayments on
steel. There is no secret about
this. A story in The Republican
last fall carried the Information
about the cost Of that steel, that
the roads engineer admitted he
paid a premium price for it but
NOT an eXorbitant price-that if
the purchase had not been made
at that time, that the county ga
rage could not have been COM
pleted until the following year,
and that it was necessary that the
garage be put under roof without
further loss of time.
He said each year the county is
getting less roads but has no fig
urcs to back up that statement.
On the other hand the County
Roads reports that forty-eight and
one-half miles of farm to market
roads had been constructed or sub
stantially improved in the county
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-08-23

in four years.
His reasoning appears slightly
ridiculous in his reply to my edi-
tolial Of last week. Any dollar that
is spent on road anywhere is de-
veloping private property.
If the present commissioners and
also the ones for years back had
waited for property to be de-
veloped before the county made a
road, there would be miles and
miles of territory without any road
whatsoever. Only last week l
Travelled over much Of the county.
Sometimes l would go for several
miles without seeing a house. Yet
road was necessary.
Nobody has claimed he was pc
titioned by anyone to build this
lake road in question. The Com
missioners decided it was the prop
er thing to do to connect two eX-
listing roads. This is not an entire
ly new road but connecting link
between two sections previously
built.
We can agree fundamentally
with his statement that the de-
velopment around the lake as well
as the rest of our county depends
upon a fair and equitable distri-
button of the benefits due to every
community" The completion of
that three-mile stretch in our
opinion, is an equitable distribu-
ton. Last weeks report of the As
miles of farm to market roads in

to enjoy the fruits of his own wise
management and frugality. The de-

as the rest of our county depends

Yet these two figures captured
the headlines for fully half of the
convention Now that it is all over

For example, while there probab-

description sent out Of Mrs. Roose-
velts smile by the Associated
Press as resembling a searchlight.
! Illuminating the dark rooms and
warming the hearts of those able
to bask in it, there were a good

who has done a great deal of harm
to the country. In the same way,
MI Truman was pictured as a great
statesman, great President and
an astute. discerning party leader.

and all Republicans he seemed not

among the delegates and their man

advocacy of candidates, there were
plenty who heartily disagreed with
the greasy eulogies that appeared

Around this pair centered most
of the early news Of the convention.

days after, the newspaper, radio
and television commentators and
correspondents portrayed them as
possessed of almost dictatorial

However, there certainly were
two interesting and unusual devcl-
opments during the convention that
more or less were unprecedented
and which shed a somewhat de
ceptive light over the proceedings.
This. of course, was the emergence
of two party leaders" each Of
whom had great party popularity
without in the least having great
party power-to wit, Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt and eX-President Harry
Truman. Great personal friends

TALLAHASSEE. Fla. Dec. rs
(R. - Tallahassee street buses
are rolling again with Negroes
as riders. but the status of seq
regated seating remains in doubt.
Boycotting Negroes climbed
aboard buses yesterday for the
first time in seven months, and
sat where they pleased despite
two incidents.
The Tallahassee City Commits
sion directed the Cities Transit
Bus Co. to enforce racial seq
regation, but lawyers for the
commission indicated uncertain
ty as to what would happen in
the next few days.
The bus company said it would
seek court determination of
whether q Federal ruling that

buses last week applied to its
franchise and to Florida laws.
Decision Awaited
"We're in hopes that pending
this decision no one will try to
precipitate anything" said
James E. Nesser. jr., attorney for
the city commission.
The Rev. c. K. Steele. presi-
dent Of the Negro Inter-Civic
Council which led the boycott as,
"a protest against segregated
seating, said his first reaction to
the bus company's announce
ment was that it seems to be
"a rather prudent move"
"Momentarily, I think favor
ably Of it," he said.
Asked what would result il
Negroes continued to ride in
|unSegregated fashion, both Mr..
Nesser and Charles Audley, at
torney for the bus company, said
they did not know. Mr.. Nesser
said city police had been given
no specific instructions on the
subject.
Buses Garry Light Loads
Negro leaders rode bus after
bus yesterday, sitting where they
chose. Most of the buses were
lightly patronized with State
capital offices and white and
Negro universities closed for the
holidays.
Two incidents were reported.
Charles Carter, manager Of the
bus company, said he pulled 4
white photographer OF one bus
as the cameraman attempted to
make pictures Of Negroes seat
ing themselves.
The Rev. J. Metz Rollins,
treasurer Of the Inter-Civic

In a letter indorsing Military
Reserve Week, President Eisen-
hover said "the responsible
ity for preserving our security
and freedoms rests not alone
with the Department of Defense
or indeed the Government as
whole, put also with all Ameri-
can citizens. An about effort to
strengthen our security through
the building Of a strong reserve

program is not only to make

plan but to tell industry and
