HOW GOD VISITED GENERAL CLARK

visiting the Citadel, South Cardinals
rWest Point General Mark Clark was
my gracious host, and while | was
there, he told me the following inspir.
ing story, which ! believe he will be
glad for me TO share with you. God
visited the General in a crisis and helped
him through one Of the most desperate
problems of World Wa II. AT the last
moment, before the invasion Of Europe,
orders came from Washington altering
the invasion plans and removing the
protective covering Of $4,000 para
troopers who had been designated to
project the landing Of General Clark's
men. The General tells in his own
words how God helped the Americans
TO meet this emergency and gave their
leader strength and wisdom to lead his
men TO victory.
There was on the night Of Sep
TENDER 5-my plans twisted, yer know.
ing we must sail the next morning.
did the Germans know about the
invasion2 How much did they know
Just what would we nun into?
"All these things we're running
through my mind, and with the fate Of
so many thousands of men, as well as
the hopes Of the free world, resting
upon the success Of the invasion, ! was

my responsibility.

"ACTMG COMMISSIONER, OF PUBLIC SAFETY"
THERE appears a notice of some sort
over the title, Acting Commissioner of Public Safety"
there is brought to mind the situation which only lack
Of craftsmanship thinking, and reasoning could make
possible, And this has been going on for years.
EVER SINCE TIE passage of the New Organic
Act, the position of Commissioner Of Public Safety has.
hung in the balance. 1t has been kicked around and
played with like a football, and everything but the vel
fare and basic interests of the people of these Islands is
injected into it.
UNDER FORMER Governor Archie Alexander the
Senate refused to confirm. The reasons for this refusal
were so unsound and weak that nobody dared defend
them in public. In fact, those who declined confirmation
did not even bother to state any reasons, because there
were none. But such was land Isl their prerogative, and
they exercised it.
TOCOMPOUNp AN already delicate situation, the
Governor then proceeded to make the worst mistake
possible, that of trying to ram an appointee down the
threats Of a rebelious legislature. Anybody who fol-
lows politics in a democracy, especially in America
where there are separation Of powers, knows that such
a move is fatal, and this was no exception. The result
no confirmation.
ALONG ONE present Governor and does
the same thing. OF course, we can go along with him
on that because he might have felt that having the right
man for the right job he could win confirmation Tor his
appointee. Then, too, with the passage OF time certain
make-believe wounds might have healed, thus removing
whatever excuses there might have been. But that was
not to be the case, and again confirmation was withheld
THIS is A NATTER which does the Senate little
or no credit. At this stage of the game one OF two steps
ought to be taken: ID either the Senate indicate its

ABA Defeats Proposal

The move took the form Of a
proposed constitutional amend

A total Of 1895 ballots were
cast on the issue yesterday at

banks - which are owned by
their depositors-have an I'M
fair tax advantage over banks
owned by stockholders.
The gist Of arguments Of sup
porters Of the proposed change
was that exclusion of the mu-
tual banks would enable the
association TO work more eff
fectively for tax equality with
mutual banks and savings and
loan associations.
But some members sug-
gested that both sides sit down
and work out a settlement Of
their differences within the
ABA.
The association will hold its
1859 convention in Dade

in the automobile industry.
For to you. the settlement
means:
% The cycle Of infiationary
wage contracts in the auto
industry has been broken.
There is no excuse for anything
but the most minor auto price
increases based on these con-
tracts and even minor price
increases well may be avoided.
co All other wage negotia-
tons in the next several
months will be influenced by
these settlements, for the auto
industry contracts often have
been pace-setters.
Labor Peace Seen
90 We are entering a three
year period of labor peace in the
auto industry. Long-term wage
contracts are a stabilizing eco
nomic force and hopefully, the
auto deal will encourage other
long-term settlements.
