In the Philade!phia instance, the testimony of an official, which would have required two full days in open court, was replaced by a writtea record which had been supplied to interested parties ten days before the hear- ing. Under the circumstances, the main story of the witness was presented deliber- ately and completely and cross-examinu- tion could begin at once. While the new plan will not eliminate oral cross-examination of witnesses, it will | save considerable time in cases involving prolonged testimony. Moreover, through the elimination of cumbersome, prolix and tiresome process of question and answer the witness will be able to present his story logica!ly and effectively. Credit for the idea of employing “can- ned testimony” is given to Ricl.ard Town- send, trial examiner, who obtained the ap- proval of the Securities and Exchange Commission to test the method in the hope of saving time. CRITICISM: GOOD OR BAD? Maurice Maeterlick discusses critic- ism in The Good Housekeeping Magazine. differentiating between healthy, construc- ism and the malicious, destru vould be rather hard to divide criti ism i these two categories. It is possible for j criticism to be constructive or de- structive The better test, we by the writer when he motives fo the ssip-carrier monger and the This is a sound for discriminating between critici«m thé think, is ritic incere and purp« ish and sinister.

That is a mat- ter of opinion, and, as far us, we consider the prices still reasonable, and, in several cases, below a fair market price. For instance, we know of two houses and a corner lot that sold last week at a price that was extremely low. We know of | ‘one man who would have paid 50 percent | more, and probably the owner would have = | obtained twice as much as she got had she advertised the property in The Citizen. This editorial is two tips to Key West- ers: if you have real estate to sell anywhere in Monroe county, and want to get the best possible price for it, advertise it in The Citi- ; zen; if you are among those who think es are too high, and intend to buy in a later market, put your money in United States Savings Bonds, Series E. That is the one type of bond whose ontinues to incr and it is virtua!- K liquid as the dollar. The bond is cash- able any time after 60 days of its purchase, and when you cash it Uncle Sam pays you se full value for it, plus whatever interest has accrued. Other of his bonds may fall below as Liberties did after the first Wor!d . but this particular bond continues to pa Wa increase in price for its life of 10 years. By buying this bond you can serve a double purpose: help the war-e protect your own interests by having av: able something that draws interest and c be converted into cash whenever you need money to buy a home or any thing else. This is not advice that we are going to write about now, because The Citizen aid- vises nobody to buy stocks. If you are dis- posed to enter the Stock Market, take no- body’; advice but act on your own opinion, and if you lose will have nobody to blame but yourself. Buying stocks is an ex- tremely technical business, and if you know nothing about it, you run the risk of losing fort and an you your money. We felt we owed the preceding para- graph to our readers before saying what we are goicg to say now: we know of two Key Westers, who, believing that will topple after the war, money into United Sta Series E,to have funds available to buy stocks, if they look to be “good”, in the post- war period. But whether or not these two Key Westers buy stocks after the war, they have the equivalent of cash te use in any some stocks e putting their Savings Bonds, ‘other way they may determine. s not included in The But stock-buyir Citizen's tips. Here they are: if you have real estate to sell, get as much as you can for it b+ letting the people of Key West know you have it te l, and the way to reach hem is through the columns of »C en; if you think prices now are teo h to conform to the state of your pocketbook, buy savings bonds and keep them till such time when the buyers’ market appeals to you Buy all the War Bonds you can, and ean all you buy!

Today In History Today's Birthdays | MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1945 SPOTLIGHT TURNS By JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Just why the case of John Bovingdon, $5,600 a year economic analyst with the Office of Economic War- fare, who once practiced and gave; grahpically illustrated lectures on; “physical culture therapy,” caus" ed such a nationwide furore is, quite a mystery to Rep. ¢ Ramspeck’s (D.-Ga.) Civil Committee. After all, Mr. Bovingdon does, have degrees from Yale and Columbia universities and in peda- gogic circles is entitled to be ad- dressed as “Doctor.” The Ramspeck committee has | in its files a score of “more sen-} sational” cases than that and} may start releasing them publicly any day now. a Last March when the commit- tee uncovered what they consider- | ed one of the most flagrant cares of unjustified elevation of a fed- eral worker to high places, it got‘ no morg than three paragraphs anywhere.
