Letter to the Editor
Editor, Kodiak Mirror:

Editor, k0d1ak Mlrr0r:
 keep hearing lots of talk by To- cal citizens about the foreign "fish- ing pirates" stealing our king crab and wrecking our gear. However, instead of just talking among them selves, I recommend they take some ACTION, such as informing the re- sponsible authorities who are allow ing this to happen of their views. You can send a Personal Opinion Message telegram for just $1.80, and letters are just a nickel! Our members of Congress at Washing ton, DC. are: Senator E. L. Bartlett and Senator Ernest Gruening, at Senate office Building, and Repre- sentative Ralph Rivers, at House office Building. Don't forget the President, at The White House, and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, The Pentagon-all at Washington, DC. Also write Gov ernor William Egan, State Capital, Juneau, commenting him on his fight SO far and tell him to keep fighting with all his resources.
 Be polite, but firm, and remem- Der that if we push hard enough and long enough they will take the necessary action = particularly if they know enough of their voters are behind it!

Frank ]. Horty, general man
ager has announced.
Recently the Delaware River
and Bay Authority--a joint auth
ority between the states ofDel-
aware and New Jersey--voted
to build a second span parallel
to the present structure and
also establish ferry service
between Cape May, N. j. and
Lewes, Delaware. This will be
a $l00 million venture.
In order to underwrite the
revenue bonds which will be
payable within thirty years, the
Authority increased passenger
car rates from Is cents to fifty
cents. All other vehicle rates
increase in the same proper
don.
Horty reminds that originally
the passenger car fare was IS
cents, but due to the great
usage of the bridge--l2 million
cars in IL years--it was pos
sible to make two reductions.
Now 1t is felt, the increased
service which will be provided
will make 1t worthwhile for the
motorist to continue to use the
bridge at the new rates which

PrOCessed Peas Show
Increase in Delaware

Vegetable crop production
has undergone many changes In
Delaware during the past few
years.
The production of peas, for
instance, has changed from a
minor crop of about l, 900 acres
in I949 to 8,400 acres this
year. Increases of several hun
dred acres each year is the
result of continued excellent,
high-quality yields.
In 1862, an excessively dry
spring severely reduced yields
bur this year production is ex-
pected TO exceed the 5000
pounds of shelled peas per acre
of recent normal years.
Production of peas with lima
beans is another factor bringing
on the increase of pea pro-
duction. Delaware, long a ma
donal leader in lima bean pro-
duction, is losing some of this
bean acreage. However, both
peas and lima beans can be
raised on the same land In one
year and almost the same pro-
duction and harvesting equip
ment are used. This means
more efficient production since
equipment costs are not dupli-
Gated.
Asparagus, in contrast with
peas, has long been a stable
vegetable crop in the state. This
year acreage increased a few
hundred acres but yields we're
down slightly due to the cool
weather in May.
Strawberries we're an ex-
cellent crop this year. Though
yields were somewhat below
normal, net returns from higher
prices were greater. The
Laurel Auction handled more
strawberries $4,000 crates)
this year than 1t has In 10
years.
Of other vegetable crops,
white potatoes have maintained
the same approximate acreage
as a year ago with prospects
of an excellent crop. Snap
beans for processing have in
creased each year recently to
the present 1868 acreage of
7 300 acres. Mechanical pick
ing has decreased the labor
costs for this crop.

Yes. There is another Christmas. One that is
apart from the tinsel and glitter the frantic
merciahsn, the competition in show-off- f-manshp,
the Santa Claus jngles played endlessy on the
radio and the boisterous office parties.
1t is the Christmas of the spirit. The spirit that
has endured sometimes we'll concealed, for nearly
1000 years.
1t is the spirit that says: "a new commandment
I give unto you that ye love one another; have
loved you that ye also love another"
1t is the spirit that says: Peace leave with
you my peace give unto you"
The spirit that says: Render unto Caesar the
things which be Caesars, and unto God the things
which be Gods"
The spirit that says: Thy will be done in earth,
it is in heaven"
The spirit that says Let your light so shine
before men that they can see your good works"

Blessed the Peacemakers . . Blessed are
they that prosecuted for righteousness sake E"

bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out

Spoon-Fed Generation

You find a hatful of theories about the
causes of juvenile crime. The trouble with most of
them is that they only partial explanations
For example, such usually cited factors as pow
erty, bad housing broken homes, racial discrimina-
ton and poor schooling obviously don't play any
role in the substantial amount of crime committed
by well cared for youngsters in US suburbs.
The playwright Arthur Miller writing not long
age in Harpers, searched hard for real common
thread, which would bind together juvenile
crime not just in this country but all the
world 1t runs high in Europe in the Soviet
Union.
Miller believes he has found the bond. He thinks
it is an all-pervading boredom, strange kind Of
emptiness Of the mind and spirit
The emptiness he speaks of comes from alb
sence of challenges, lack of genuine meaningful
conflicts failure to test the individuals will and
capacity

erratic exceptions providing welfare checks.
The rich mans sees his father providing cars,

Indeed much of the body OF our traffic law
seems to have been devised for the convenience of
traffic officers with quotas to meet Very little of
it assumes any good sense whatever on the part Of
the driver and this may be a realistic assumption:
on-the-road driver training is not noticeable part
of either safety education highway natrolling.
We regret to note that the University of Mime
sofa has joined the clche artists Speed Can Only
Lead to Disaster, reads the bumper sign that Univ
ersity carry. The shalty syntax of this
slogan bothers less than its lack of meaning and
we hope that the University will arrange for an ap-
proprtate department to issue Interpretation.
What speed for example? High speed? Low
speed? Intermediate speed? Prevailing speed :?
Speed of light? Speed of sound? Speed of hare or
tortoise?
And only to disaster? That's not experience.
Occasionally it leads to Duluth Kansas City, Wash
ington, Chicago. Without appropriate speed, we
could not get to these places often do.
Speed will lead us to the and beyond. This is
a disaster? Speed-more of it than the enemy could
muster-led us to victory and away from disaster in
two world wars.
This preoccupation with speed as the villain in
auto accidents because it is factor in many serious
ones leads to some ridiculous things. A twin cities
newspaper cOlumnist few months ago devoted
full column to denouncing motorists who start up
fast when the traffic light turns green Starting fast
from dead stop implies fast acceleration but moth
ing like high speed the lights most streets being
timed for 30 miles hour or less. Yet this news
paper denounced cowboys the drivers who are
considerate enough to get traffic moving at once
when the go sign is And the writer inadvertently
Identified himself of those grandmotherly old
fuddieduddes whose leisrely and inattentive driv-
ing contributes to the appalling traffic snarl-ups we
occasionally see.
High speed as such is not always a virtue, to be
sure But we wish that the chche artists and plah-
ude pundits would begin to recognize that it is not
always offense, and that sometimes it is very
much virtue

Sometimes Speed

We are sometimes tempted toward the conclu-
ston that the most serious aspect of the auto ac-

While we do not personally know any of these
safety councilmen their various works have con-
veyed picture to u.s. We think of the professional
safety worker man who loves cliche and who
goes into raptures over good resounding plattude

The University Answers
The KnOw-NOthings

All Minnesotans can be proud of their Universi-
ty and the Board of Regents for the stand they have
taken in the face of a Know-Nothng campaign by
the American Legion and others to interfere with
the University's academic freedom.
Targets in this campaign were primarily the
Student Peace Union, the World Affairs Center and
two professors. The University and the Regents
reacted to the pressure brought upon them in a
mature and sensible way. The regents pointed out
the dangers of fanatic, angry and irrational be-
havior" and declared that our national goals must
include continued freedom concern for the rights
of Others political and spiritual tolerance :" Then
the Regents threw down the glove at the people who
in the name "Americanism" try TO deny others the
right of free inquiry: THE most American activity
of them an is to think to speak, and to inquire free
ly. The un-Amercan activity is to deny such free
dom"
It would be interesting to hear what Milton
Rosen, the flag-waving ST. Paul City Commissioner
who has been active in the campaign against free
inquiry at the University, has to say about this chal-
lenge. Afany of our readers will remember Rosen's
defense of Birmingham, Alabama shameful treat
ment of its Negro citizens several years ago.
One Of the two professors who was a target in
the campaign evidently singled out because he
had coNaborated with Gunnar Myrdal in the great
Carnegie Foundation study of the Negro in America
THE American Dilemma" which has been so i'm
portant in the current Negro drive for equal treat
Inent.
Professional hate groups in the Twin Cities and
in America have been attempting to penalize DR.
Arnold Rose for his participation in this study
branding the study Communst-inspired, and libel
ing Dr. Rose a Communist collaboration It is no
accident THAT the enemies of free speech and free
inquiry in this country nearly always turn out to be
professional haters of sort another-anti-
Negro anti-Jewish, ant-Cathouc anti-liberal.
Nor is it an accident that the University takes
the stand that it does on academic freedom 1t was
not always thus. Within memory, the University
Administration and Board of Regents has been less
than Jealous in this department. But the University
has matured, state has matured and country
has nratured. All sensible people realize that
center of learning cannot function properly except in
an atmosphere of free inquiry, and that to yield to
the crackpots and Know Nothings in even the small
est degree is to betray the principles on which our
University has become great.

DRY POINTS
BY FRED GRAM

The computer people propose to
do a job on the law and the courts
They could save a lot of jury time
by starting on auto accidents. Let
the plaintiff feed his whiplash in
jury into the computer and pull
the lever. If it comes up three
lemons, he doesn't collect.
The new style in office and lobby
greenery is a challenge to the
horticulturists, who no doubt are
working right now on new var1et-
les of real live philodendron and
such that will look exactly like the
contrivances now in vogue.
Despite all the hullabaloo about
the right to bear arms, this part
of the Constitution will not really
be meaningful In today's world un-
til amended to cover such items as
1uclear rockets.
If the automation that has been
built to make telephone canvasses
really catches on, the only defense
Of phone subscribers will be auto
mated answering. This ought to
develop some mighty interesting
conversations.
Those sex scandals at Harvard
may reflect less a breakdown OF
morals than a cosmic urge to keep

ISSUES: GOOD
AND BAD
BY P. L. PRATTIS

Where are most Negro leaders
during the so-called Negro revolu-
ton?
Where do Negro professional
men, businessmen, men of the
church, educators, artists and
whatnot stand?
Do most of these people have a
voice? Have they expressed them
selves? Do they express them
selves? Or are the majority of
them afraid to speak out?
In two thought-provoldng arti-
cles in Life magazine, Theodore H.
White has dipped his pen into a
sensitive area of Negro life. Mr.
White, after a cross-country study
of Negro leadership thought, has
just about reached the conclusion
