Can you imagine what would
happen in most other cities If
public utility were to enter a
tournament with team spon-
sored by the Communist Party?
Yet the Khan is also on the At
torney Generals ''subversive list"
The Chattanooga officials re-
gard this as purely local matter
and undoubtedly hoped that 1t
might be hushed up in the rest OF
the country. But these things have
a way of getting around and were
happy to do our part in seeing
that they do.
Fortunately for citizens of that
state Chattanooga is not the only
city in Tennessee. There is also
Clinton.
HOSPITALITY" IN ALABAMA
On the same day that news
came out of Chattanooga there
was a little-noticed wire service
item from MapleSville, Ala. The
United Press told the story with
this lead:
"Three Negroes who were fog
ged by $50 hooded Ku Klux
Klansmen have fled this town
and others are afraid to leave
their homes at night, a white bus
inessman said today.
Raymond Streaming said No
groes on the night shift at his We
neer plant were afraid to come
to work. He said he had been
warned to leave town."
No reason was given for the
violence.
We report this item for the ben
eft of those who insist that con-
ditions have subsidized" in t n e
South and who wonder whether
a civil rights bill was really nee
essary. In passing we might men,
ton that the story also graphic
ally illustrates the xxx concept
of good craftsmanship. The odds
against the three Negroes they
flogged were only so to l.

and offering long-winded explain
atoms on what's happened.
We don't particularly go for ex-
perts who over-simplify things,
but in this case we believe the
answer is pretty plain. The high
cost of money, the interest rate
you pay your bank for a housing
loan, is now 1928 per cent high
er on FHA-guaranteed loans than
it was just nine months ago.
This is the story in brief:
If you were buying a house last
December through FILA you paid
a maximum of Az per cent in
terest. The Eisenhower admins
tration and Federal Reserve then
raised it to 5 per cent. Then in
midsummer it went up to 5H
per cent. On top of all this there
is a mortgage insurance charge
of u Of one per cent. And that's
how the percentage of increase
went up 16 1881.
Sen. Sparkman ID. Ala.) says
this provides 'windfall' of $15,-
100000 for bankers and other
money lenders.

Wutch On The
POTOMAC

Robt. G. Spivack

SPORT IN TENNESSEE =
The smog over the Capitol gets
so thick that often it's hard to
see just what's going on in the
rest of the country. One of the
little items we missed until just
now was story out of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. We pass it on as a
sign Of the times.
Down in that town it seems the
Ku Klux Khan is sponsoring a
youthful softball team. It's lit
tie hard to envision that outfit
entering any so-called sports
event, since we have always be-
lieved that fair play was always
part of the game. But the xxx
team is right in there and was
even one of those chosen to rep
resent the City of Chattanooga In
a tournament at Nashville.
What's really hard to under
stand is the fact that local pub
lie utility, The Chattanooga Gas
Co, has also entered a team in
the tournament. So has Chatta-
nooga congregation, the ST. Elmo
Baptist Church. We can't mag
inc what brand of religion is
preached in that church.
What we find hardest to under
stand, though, is the attitude of
the officials of this large South
ern city. Despite the fact that The
Chattanooga Times brought the
whole matter to their attention
in no uncertain terms, they were
willing to open publicly support
ed facilities to the Ku Klux Khan.

FOREIGN NOTE

While the price of gasoline and
oil remains at record high levels
in their country, the British auto
manufacturers are trying to get
more miles-per-gallon out of their
1853 models. In this country it's
different. Most u. S. auto COM
panies are still shying away from
the small economy size car de-
spite the success of the British
Morris Minor and the German
Volkswagon in penetrating the
American market.
In most parts of this country
gasoline and petroleum products
are also more expensive than ever
before. But our auto manufacture
ers are trying for more power
and less miles per gallon. My 1949
Dodge six cylinders) got Is mpg
in city driving and II mpg in the
country. My new Ford (also six)
gets barely y mpg in the city or
country.
DR.. Albert Fogg, director of the
British Motor Industry Research
Association, says they are trying
for a 80 per cent increase in mile
age per gallon. The Morris Min
or now gets better than 35 miles
per gallon.
Speaking of U. S. auto manu-
facturers, Fogg said:
"They can fight the battle of
longer and lower looking cars.
Well concentrate on development
of more efficient and economical
vehicles"

Savings Gain

A gain Of SIS billion in

Nations 5000 savings and
loan associations in the first
half Of 1857. the United States
Savings and Loan League has

The gain. according to Roy

figure in savings and loan
history.
Mr.. Mari estimated that
savings associations would
realize a gain Of around SIS
billion in assets for the entire
year Of 1857. This would APP
proach the record asset gains
of So billion achieved in both
1855 and 1856. and would place

said.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

"On a recent Jackie Gleason
show" asks a Waterbury Conn
reader. ethere was a scene with
Gleason and Carney on a life
raft in midocean. Gleason OBJ
served that 1t was heck of a
spot for two 'landlubbers' to be
in and Carney noted that in
GleasOnS case the word should
be 'land-blubher.' Still later
Carney referred to the pair Of
them as .fiotsam and jetsam on
a life raft.
when the show was over a
group Of us got into a discussion
of these two terms. / contended
that 'landlubber' is just another
form of 'land-lover.' but an ex-
sailor who was visiting US said
it means something worse than
that. Also he contends that
flotsam and jetsam' means some
thing more than just wreckage.
Would you clear the whole mat
ter up for us?'
"Landlubber," to begin with,
has nothing to do with land
lover" A "lubber," from the
Middle English "lobre," Is a
clumsy. awkward lout-usually
diversified at that. A "landlub-
ber." then. is what a skilled
seaman calls an awkward, in
experienced sailor. 1t it, of course,
a term of deriSion and contempt.
"Flotsam and jetsam" is a
term loosely used to designate
floating wreckage. Properly
speaking. though, this floating
wreckage Of ship or its cargo
is "fiotsam" only. "Jetsam" IS
that part of a ships cargo which
is deliberately thrown overheard
to tighten her when she is in
danger. In British law "jetsam"
Is that part Of the jettisoned
cargo which sinks and remains
under water. but this is a dis
tinction not always observed in
courts.
The word "jettison," by the
way. is etymologically the same
as "jetsam, since both come
from the Old French word get
aison." which in turn comes
from the Latin "jactare." to hurl
or throw.
