SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen About. all the authority in Greenfield, Mass., went y three months th other day, including the board of : men, the board of public welfare, the ceme- tery commission, the tax collector and the library trustee. But only three men were involved, as they held all the offices men- tioned. They were convicted of violating the election laws. ‘A Good Samaritan can’t always func- tion as such no matter how sympathetic he may be. This was explained to the sher- iff's* office in Birmingham a few nights ago, when a bootlegger called up to say that two enforcement officers had over- turned their car and were probably injur- ed. The bootlegger said he couldn’t stop to give aid because he had 50 gallons of whisky in his car which the law was chas- ing. The officers were only slightly hurt. When Patrolman Koster of Detroit stopped Mrs. Elsie Garland for speeding she grabbed his book of violation tickets and slapped him soundly in the face with it. When the judge sent her to jail for five days she didn’t protest, but remarked: “It was worth it.” The spread of kidnaping has spurred Federal authorities to vigorous action in an effort to curb this latest criminal men- ace. The states will be expected to coop- erate by providing the death penalty for this heinous crime. Already iidnaping is punishable by death in 12 states: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, I}inois, Towa, Ken- tucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. Johnny Gentry, a 6-vear-old Kansas boy, is very fond of a pet pig he calls} “Doc,” and for a very good reason. When Johnny's foot was crushed a few months ago some skin ftom the pig was grafted on | the injured member and he was saved from | being a cripple. A true pacifist is one who thinks it al, warlike gesture to build a few of the that rivals conceded were necessary. Francisco Chronicle. .

"—Buffalo News. i } try WORLD POLICE PLAN What seems: to be a constructive sug- gestion in connection with the efforts be- ing made to stamp out or reduce serious crimes was made at the recent internation- al’ convention of police chiefs held in Chi- cago. It proposes a worid police force, the members of which would disregard all national boundary lines when in pursuit of criminals. i The idea of establishing such a force was advanced by Barron Collier, honorary deputy police commissioner of New York, who explained how such a body who cross- ed oceans and continents plying his profes- It is well known that the limited juris dietion of officers of the law seriously han- dicaps them in bringing criminals to jus- tice. When a criminal crosses a state line | he cannot be followed and taken into cus- tody, or returned to the state in which the crime was committed, without much legal formality and red tape. An American criminal escaping to Canada, Mexico, or any other foreign coun try, is virtually immune from the conse- quences of his crime. Thousands of the | most dangerous offenders against, society thus escape capture and punishment. Such a police force as Mr. Collier sug- gests would not need to be large. All that would be necessary would be that a few picked men in each country should be au- thorized by international agreement to go anywhere in the world in pursuit of crim- inals, with the added prevision that no:na- tion would interfere fo defeat the ends of justice. | Crime is organized on a world-wide seale. It can be combatted successfully only by like organization on the part of forces of law and order. THE KNOCKING NEWS (Key West Sunday Star) Every now and then The Miami News fakes a ‘crack’ at the Overseas bridge project. f And every time the News takes a crack at the proposed bridges:it boosts, by comparison, the proposed airplane base at Chapman Field. Apparently, the News beiieves that pet z the bridge project strengthcns the Cnapman Field project. The reasoning of the News is like that of the holier-than-thou man who thinks that the best way to magnify his*merits is to abuse his neighbor. Pursuing such a course shows a defec- tive sense of sportsmanship, whether it is done by a man or a newspaper. The attitude of the newspapers and the people of Key West toward the Chap- man Field project should teach the News a lesson in fairmindedness. Not a word has been said in a local newspaper against Chapman Field; not a single Key Wester, so far as we have heard, has voiced the least opposition to that project. Down here, we don’t believe, as the News evidently believes, that success can be attained in any undértaking by malign- ing anybody or speaking ‘slightingly of someone else’s project when comparing it with our own. Finally, the News has declared that the proposed bridges would lead to ‘no- where.” If Key West is “nowhere,” why does the News send copies of its ‘Final’ here now, even though the delivery is a day late? Were the News wise it would bear in mind that the construction of the proposed bridges would not only help the News and the people of Dade and Monroe counties but also would be a desideratum to all Florida and an asset to the entire na- tion.
