4hdASh Got ACoo
AT the outset, wish to state
that the turn of events which has
come about lately, relative to my
attachment to the State Attorneys
Office, did not come as surprise
to me. First of all, certain fore
shadowing was to cast a shadow
on things to come appeared in the
Miami Herald four weeks ago in
an editorial which dealt with a
"doctored" photograph showing
me in interview with client who
was white women. OF course,
there was never such picture
taken.
Shortly after the above appear
ed, the State Attorney, George
Brautigam, and his political OPP
ponent, Richard Gerstein, appear
ed on televsion program togeth-
er. During this program, tele-
phone message came in asking
who was responsible for my APP
pointment and why. After the
program, another telephone call
came in for Mr.. Brautigam ask
ing if he were a "nigger lover"
Also during this period my col
leagues with me in the State At
.torney's office reported several
deroyatory approaches to them by
outside individuals criticizing my
presence as an Assistant State
Attorney in the office on an inte-
grated basis. All of this leads to
the most recent issue that Of a
radio broadcast at which time, it
is alleged that / made certain
statements relative to secretarial
help and to the practice Of inte-
grafton in the State Attorneys OF
fee.
MY position on this particular
matter is neither to confirm nor
to deny the allegations. To do so
only means the heaping of Goals
on an already blazing fire and
stencil of racism. The broadcast
was not officially monitored but
surreotitiously recorded and "doc-
tored" out of context to nit the
purposes of the sinister forces de-
signed to destroy all the goodwill
and amicable relations which
have been established between
the races here in our county and
in the state at large.
On the matter of indignation in
the State Attorneys Office, can
give no better statement than that
given by fellow Assistant State
Attorney in the office with me
when an inquiry came to him as
to the practice of migration in
the State Attorneys office. The
essence of this Assistants state
ment is this: Yes, we do practice
Indignation in this office. All en-
ployees, whether Jew, Catholic,
Protestant or otherwise; and all
of the cases handled by this Of
fee are treated with the same
courtesy as every citizen must be
treated in the interest of fair play
and in the true administration OF
justice.
Now as regards my superiors
who appointed me to office, l can
only say that my loyalty has been
in the nature Of the superlative.
AT all times, have lauded these
individuals in their administra-
ton; and my energies have al
ways been in the direction OF ef-
forts to abet the efficient prose-
cution of their several offices.
OF course, the caliber and rec
ord of my work in the State At

Why the Delay?

The concern which the District Rede-
velopment Land Agency has expressed
over the delay by Federal housing au-
thorities in acting on the zeckendorf
plan for Southwest redevelopment is JUS
tifieds The project has been before the
Housing and Home Finance Agency since
last May. Meanwhile the big undertaking
has been marking time, as Federal ap-
proval Of the program is the final step
necessary to start the wheels turning.
In an effort to speed up Federal
action and eliminate red tape, Chairman
John A. Remon of the Redevelopment
Land Agency asked Housing Admins
traitor Cole to transfer from the Philadel-
phia HHFA Office to Washington the
responsibility for handling the Southwest
plan. But Mr.. Cole said that "organiza-
tional" reasons would prevent such a
transfer. He promised, however, to see
what could be done to expedite action.
We hope that Mr.. Cole is successful in
getting the project moving again-and
that Federal approval of the revolu-
tionary face-lifting in Southwest Wash
ington will be forthcoming soon.

Fighting for Farm Votes

Both major political parties are
planning showdown fight In the So
called farm States. This fight, in fact,
already has started and the pace will be
stepped up this week. On Friday, Presi-
dent Eisenhower will speak at the ma
tional blowing contest at Newton, Iowa.
On Saturday, Adlai Stevenson will appear
at the same event. Next Tuesday, the
President will make a major campaign
address, dealing primarily with the farm
economy, at Peoria, Illinois. Senator Ke-
fauver, Democratic vice presidential can
didate, already is deep in the heart Of the
farm country and plans are being dis
cussed to have Vice President Nixon make
at least one major farm address. Mean
while, Secretary of Agriculture Benson is
whistle stopping the area and one Re-
publican spokesman reports so many re-
quests for Mr.. Benson's appearance that
he is unable to At them all into his tightly
crowded schedule for the next seven
weeks.
The farm economy has been drifting
downward for most of the past five years,
a trend which the Democrats figure will
win them votes. There is encouragement
to the Republicans however, in two fac
tors One is that the decline in farm net
income halted early this year, the rate
for the first six months being about 500
million yearly above the $1l.5-billion rate
for the first half of 1855. The Department
Of Agriculture now has reported further
acceleration of this climb in the July
September quarter, estimating the annual
- 1 r..
ton, payments under the soil bank plan
should provide further boost in the final
quarter. Mr.. Benson already is empha-
sizing this shift in the income trend, as
well as Government disposition of $2.7
billion of price-depresSing SURPRISES dur
ing the year ending last July.
The second factor offering some cheer
to the Republicans is that the nine Farm
Belt States gave more than so per cent
of their total vote to the G. o. p ticket
in 1852. Only in Missouri was the Eisen-
howerNixon margin below the 55-45 per
cent division. Thus a substantial shift
might occur in the others without taking
the States out of the Republican column.
The nine States represent 81 electoral
votes.
But the farm vote is not confined, of
course, to these nine States. PennSyl-
vania, Ohio and Michigan, for example,
have large farm populations. A real farm
revolt, as the Democrats hope, might
swing any or all of these States away
from the Republican ticket. There are
others where the farm issue will be i'm
portant. 1t is easy to understand, there
fore, why the two parties are devoting
major emphasis to the farm problem
early in the campaign.

WiIey's Victory

Your editorial and Gould
Lincoln's analysis of the Wiley
victory in Wisconsin overlook
several salient points. Wiley
was not "handily" re-nomi-
mated. In fact, Wiley received
q minority Of the votes cast
in the primary despite the fact
that over 10000 Democrats
voted in the Republican race.
Statement of Phil Nash,
chairman Of the Democratic
Party in Wisconsin, OF the
total vote cast. over 70sS Of
the votes were for the Repub-
lican candidates. Therefore, if
Alexander Wiley is elected this
November he should say. But
for the grace of the Democrats
I would not be back in the
Senate"
Considering the fact that
Davis was unknown in Wis
consin, other than in his own
congressional district, until
this summer, he ran an ex-
cellent race. The Mccarthy
haterS will find little comfort
in this election after a care
full analysis is made.

Last Chance in Virqinio

Governor Stanley, as expected, has
rammed his anti-integration school bill
through the Virginia House of Delegates.
Every conceivable pressure was
brought to bear on the members by ad-
ministration forces. And yet. the hackers
of a local option amendment mustered
SO votes for their proposal to SO against. 1t
has to be remembered that most of these
SO votes came from Delegates who are
members Of the dominant organization
IN Virginia and who generally vote ac-
cordingly. The mere fact that so many
Of them held out against the Governors
plan is an indication Of how much oppo-
sition there will be to it throughout the
State II II Is finally adopted.

Elephants Epitoph?

When the genial Leonard
Hall said the Democratic VIC
tory in Maine was due to Re-
publican complacency, he hit
the nail right on the head.
Complacency is apparently
the watchword of the Repub-
lican administration, as well
as the party. Complacency
with everything the President
says or does. complaeency with
our foreign policy, complacency
with our domestic policies,
complacency with our lack of
school facilities, complacency
with segregation. complacency
with complacency itself.
On the tombstone of the
Republican Party next Novem-
Der will appear this simple in
scription:
Here Lies Competency"

OF AdIoi He Sinos

stevenson has won the
hearts Of all the people. It's
been proclaimed from every
house and from every steeple.
The response so strong, it
won't be long, before he is
elected. With Kefauver as his
running mate, the delegates
selected.
So now we can all rejoice,
no longer be downhearted, or
afraid to state our views, and
finish what we started.
Wen present a strengthen
ing front to the tremulous
world. and win respect Of all
mankind, when our flags I'M
furled.
The spirit of Decatur is not
dead, just dormant, in our
land, and viii be reawakened,
when Stevenson takes a hand.
The sun obscured behind a
cloud, viii emerge and bathe
with light. a victorious Ste
venson. who does not dread a
fight.
In 50. there were a few,
who cast their ballots wrong,
but who since have learned,
and sincerely yearned, to sing
another song.
So cast your votes, and hum
new notes,
And you'll never repent,
when you find. that in your
right mind. it was Stevenson,
for President.

Political Promises

AS lives Of great men oft
remind us, so the speeches Of
candidates oft inspire us, and
after listening to some Of the
very top aspirants. I am in
spired to suggest battle
hymn for the Democrats. It
may be sung to Yankee Doodle
or Beulah Land or most any
tune that the singer prefers
very democratic:
We promise you:
Well cut the taxes drasti-
cally. well bring to all pros
perity. provide two chickens
for every pot and a flannel
shirt for every Hottentot.
Oh. publico. dear publico,
I wonder where you're going
to go. When bleak November
rolls around, in what camp will
you be found? VIII you prefer
our liberty or return to slavery?

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES z. TRACEWELL


The older person DESTROYS
of good Suntan must realize,
If he is sensible, that he can
not do as well in this as the
children.
Next year, If he Is still SEN
sible, he will take just SO much
sun, and let the rest go.
Maybe something has hap
pened to the sun. after all.
Who can tell?
Only the persistent in
dividual. such as Temp Jones.
realizes that this summers
sun was distinctly not UP to
standard.
Have the bombs had any
thing to do with 1t?
The slight haze which was
over even the brightest day
Only the suntan enthusiast
was able to catch this differ
ence.
Most people. immersed in
their daily affairs, take sun
and shadow. rain and clouds,
as they come. s4
They are like the Weather
Bureau, which playfully pre-
diets thundershowers this eve
ming, when none ever results.
Most people. not interested
in a daily dose of sun, do not
have the slightest idea that
there has been any difference
in this summers sunshine. as
compared with the sun of the
summer before.

We asked Mr.. Jones what he
was going to do for sunshine
this winter.
We thought we had him
there, but the willy old sum
tanner came up with q new
thought.
He was going to tan through
glass. he said.
you can't" we said. "The
tanning rays won't come
through ordinary window
glass"
That is where you are
wrong" Jones answered. 1.-THE
very latest finding Of science
is that much Of the tanning
rays do come through, after
ALL"
Jones says he is going to try
1t, anyway, and see.
A sun lamp. he says, gets
pretty tiresome.
The real sun. even filtered
through winter clouds and
window glass, would be more
exciting.
And don't forget" Temple
ton Jones said with a grin,
you probably wouldn't sweat
so much.o

Cancer Clinic

Recently at a large gather
ing Of women, an interesting
discussion arose concerning
the excellent work done at the
Cancer Clinic in Garfield Hos
pital.
Despite the fact that fine
women who were present had
received the regular thorough
physical examinations at the
clinic. none had returned for
further periodic check-ups.
The general complaint
seemed to be the clinics rule
of sending the reports only to
the family physicians.
The attitudes Of the various
personal physicians to these
check-ups ranged from gentle
ridicule. sarcasm or outright
irritation toward their patients.
Within the past few years
/ have visited the clinic twice
and was tremendously i'm
prcs e,t with the conScient. Gus
work done by these specialists.
However. the attitude Of the
two family doctors who re-
ceived the two negative re-
ports from the clinic rather
disilhsioned me toward fur
Their clinic visits.

ports with the patients them

Two Views on Money
1t is hardly to be exl

1t is hardly to be expected that DEM
ocratic Chairman Butler ana Republican
Chairman Hall are likely to be in agree
ment about many things at this time OF
year. So, appearing before the Senate
Elections Subcommittee, they were not
quite in agreement about money for polit-
ical purposes. Mr. Butler, explaining that
the Democrats do not have much money
on hand and already are in debt, favored
more things for free-like radio and tele-
vision time-and limitations on campaign
expenditures and contributions. Mr. Hall,
revealing that the Republicans have quite
a tidy bank account, deplored the idea
of forcing the public information media
to subSidize partisan campaigns. Both
accepted, with sort of resigned patience,
notice from Chairman Gore that his COM
mittee would like to take weekly reading
of the account sheets for the next couple
of months.
On the whole, this was about as good
a beginning as might have been antici-
pated for the committees plans to police
this years campaign The Democrats
have been worrying aloud about money
shortage this year II the Republicans
have been worrying, they have not said
much about It. Both are agreed, however,
that 1856 will be a year Of record high
cost of political living. Prices are up on
campaign travel. printing, broadcasting,
advertising and virtually every other ac-
tivity needed to persuade voters. If the
Senate committee succeeds in keeping a
complete and accurate running score on
the campaign cash now 1t should make
interesting reading.

Shiftinq the Oil LoGd

Rearrangment of the world pattern
Of oil shipments because Of the Suez crisis
might help resolve one long-standing
problem for part Of the petroleum pro-
ducing industry in this country. Impor-
tation Of foreign oil into the United States
has been sore point with most Of the
domestic producers, who claim that 1t
depresSeS prices and decreases incentives
for development of our own resources.
The problem has been recognized by our
Government to the point that American
companies producing abroad and shipping
to this country have been asked to limit
these imports voluntarily, but the record
thus far has not been one Of eager COM
pliance.
Included In these imports have been
approximately $4,000 barrels daily from
the Middle East. Tentative plans now
being drafted for meeting the oil needs
of Western Europe include the proposed
diversion of this portion of Middle East
production to European markets, via the
longer tanker route around Africa. At
the same time, production in the Western
Hemisphere-and particularly in the
United States-would be stepped up not
only by this amount but by another
100000 barrels daily for shipment to
Europe.
In all, Western Europe's daily needs
are estimated at about 2.5 million barrels.
OF this total, approximately 2 million
barrels have been coming from the Middle
East, with about IL million barrels of it
moving through the Suez Canal. The
remaining 100000 barrels have been
shipped by pipeline to terminals on the
eastern Mediterranean. Because of in
creased costs involved in shipping around
Africa, it is proposed that only about
two-thirdS of the normal Suez load be
moved by that route, the balance being
made up by the increased Western Henri
sphere production.
Meeting one problem, even while
solving another, does not, of course, mean
that fully satisfactory alternative to
use of the canal has been found. The
economic factor, at least, remains dis
turbing one. There is, however, reason
able assurance that the vital needs Of
West European industry can be met.

Overall Pollution Control

State authorities in the Potomac
River Valley are evidencing commend
able determination to work out some
system of overall pollution control for
the river. The latest encouraging move
was the request of members Of the Poto-
mac River antipollution compact of 1910
for study looking toward more authority
for the Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin.
Under the agreement entered into by
Maryland, Virginia, the District of CO.
lumbia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
the Federal Government, the Interstate
Commission has conducted an effective
educational campaign in behalf Of a
cleaner river. But the commission, made
up of representatives of the several juris-
dictionS, has found that education is not
enough to get the-results desired. While
the States and the District made good
progress in reducing sewage contamina-
ton and eliminating industrial dumping,
the efforts up and down the river have
been hampered by lack of master anti
pollution plan covering the whole valley.
The first step toward unified clean
up program is the adoption of an overall
plan, it is generally agreed. The Inter-
state Commission is the logical agency
to draw up such plan, but it lacks the
money and possibly the authority to do
so. And 1t lacks any enforcement powers
to insure compliance with master plan,
if adopted. These main weaknesses in
the present setup need careful study by
the commission and by State and local
authorities concerned with the pollution
problem. 1t may be that new legislation
is required. If SO, the sooner the study
is completed, the less delay there will be
in carrying out any recommendations
designed to amend the original compact.

Nature Note

Recently within your pages
a gentleman was regretting
the scarcity Of hoptoads in the
garden. I am pleased to in
form him that there are still
some of these valuable crea-
lures about. Sitting in the
GOODNESS of the evening in the
rear Of my house this summer,
a hoptoad has lowered nearby
with the absence Of fear which
is often shown by wild crea-
lures not deliberately fright
ened.
A few nights ago / returned
home late and opened the
storm door which gives access
to a small, closed entry-way.
Flicking a wall-switch, which
turns on the ceiling light, I
heard a sound of movement at
my feet, and to my utter
amazement saw a large toad
inside a small galvanized
bucket which had been left
near the inner door Of the
house. The toad appeared
brown and speckled in the
bright light, and his hind legs
were stretched out so that he
looked like a big bullfrog.
Gingerly I picked up the bucket
and carried it outside, where /
tipped it over and the toad
disappeared in the darkness. As
this entry is completely closed
in and nothing larger than q
small insect could possibly gain
admission, it appears that my
nocturnal visitor was waiting
for me outside and soundlessly
hoped in when opened the
storm door. The sudden bright
light caused him to give an
other startled leap and he
landed in the bucket.
As there is little spraying
done In this area it Is hoped
that his breed win prosper and
multiply. 10 wage war against
the ever-increasing insect
population.

Shades of Joe Smith

Since the celebrated Joe
Smith" nomination for the
vice presidency at the Re-
publican convention. it APP
pears that some Democrats
are claiming Joe Smith" as
their own.
But the Republicans appear
also to have claims. in addi-
ton to that Of the nomination,
for a Joe Smith" was a real
Republican.
While reading the book, "A
Journal Of the Mckinley
Years." by Charles G. Dawes,
edited by Bascom Timmons, I
found several references to
Joe Smith at a time when
Dawes was booming Mckinley
for the presidential nomina-
ton.
For example, he mentioned
at one time calling on Gov.
Mckinley Of Ohio. He said
THE Governor and his wife,
Gen. Osborne. Joe Smith and
Abner Mckinley and others
were there"
At another point he said,
"At Hollenden Hotel (Cleve-
land) found a note from Ham
ma to come to his office. Din
ner with Hanna and Smith at
club" And again he recorded:
Smith and / met Gov. Nc
Kinley at depot and while
waiting for train we had an
other talk. He says / am right
in pushing the issue with the
machine :"
A later reference identified
Joe Smith" as secretary to
Gov. Mckinley, later the
inartyred President.
Joe Smith apparently was a
devoted and honest secretary.
He died while Mckinley was
President, leaving a large
family.
