NAZIS WERE CONFIDENT Now that the war in Europe is over, number of “revelations” that come to the hand is amazing and while most of them are interesting, the reader will have to ex- ereise some discretion before accepting all of them as the gospel truth. Recently Colonel General Gustav Jodl, f the Nazi high command, is credited with the statement that Hitler did not make the decision”to invade Russia but that it was shaved by the high command, that the Al- lied invasion of North Africa was a com- (ete surprise and that orders for the 'Ger- man invasion of Britain, issued July 2, 1940, were cancelled October 6, 1940, The German general says that the Nazi high command correctly guessed the gen- eral avea and approximate strength of the Waglo-American invasion, but, because they believed a stronger assault would be made farther north, hesitated to shift Ger- man forees to Normandy. dod! says that the German high com- mand thought the invasion could be re- pulsed, but after the first 10 days, realized ater strength, Ac- two Panzer divisions were shift- ed from the Eastern front. When the Allies broke through the Normandy defenses and raced into Britany, the Germans were amazed at their failure te smash our corridor at Avranches. Sub- equently, the could not form their lines again, but if the Germans had retreated to the Seine, they would have se- etred sufficient time to man the Siegfried Line properly. The Nazi officer says that the Germans realized the war was lost when they tailed to win the battle of the Belgium Bulge in December. that they would need gr cordingly Germans Trouble is something that many look for but no one wants. i! a Did you ever stop to calculate just ex- actly how little you know; or have you Wen calculating how much you know? WATSON ON NEGRO VOTE On first thought some of us may think that Attorney General J. Tom Watson may be playing with dynamite when he an- nounces that he is doing all in his power to avert friction between white and negro voters in Florida, but mature thought leads us to this conclusion: Regardless of what races, two or more, that reside in a community, it is to the ad- vantage of all of them that they live peace- fully together, each pursuing his calling without: interference from the other. Are*we to respect the United States supreme, Court’ or ‘riét in’ its’ decision de- claring that negroes, if they, are qualified as Democrats, have the privilege of voting in Democratic primaries? Offhand, we may assert, “They always have been Republicans, and let them con- tinue as Republicans,” but when we say that we are frankly discriminatory, because there is no law to stop a white man or a negro from being a Democrat or a Repub- lican. % “The Progressive Voters’ League of Florida,” Mr. Watson says, “is proceeding in the right way by adopting a resolution which says, ‘We should approach our white friends as potential friends rather than ad- versaries or enemies’.” Mr. Watson said Thursday he will try to arrange a joint meeting of the Florida Democratic Executive Committee with the ague to make an arrangement that will Se Satisfactory te both. Locally, negroes have been voting in jeity elections for many years, going back to the latter part of the last century, and, so far as The Citizen can recall, there has been no trouble between white and negro voters. But The Citizen does know that white candidates in city elections have shown the utmost consideration for the ne- election day. In primary elections, less than one- tenth of the negroes who vote in city elec- tions will cast ballots in the Democratic primary, because more than 90 percent of the négro vote in the county is Republican. ‘For that reason, assuming that local negroes vote in our next primary, only a very few, probably 30 to 50, of the 700 or 5 vote in city election will participate i primary.

SEEKING A SETTLEMENT IN INDIA | | | The British government is making an- other attempt to settle the problems of | | India, having called a conference of vari- ous factions. It is understood that the Brit- ish proposal would transfer all functions of the central government, except the Vice- roy’s duties, and the management of troops. The major obstacle to an agreement continues to-be differences between the Moslem and Hindu populations. Key men in connection with deliberations will be Mohandas K. Gandhi, leader of the Hindus, and Mohammed, Ali Jinnah, leader of the Moslem League. >The Moslems want a sep- arate state, being afraid of Hindu domina- thout one, The effort of the British and the In- dian leaders may fail despite evidence that the situation in India has improved since the early days of the war. Apparently the British government will not compel the Moslems to accept Hindu domination and, if this is true, the quickest way to settle the Indian problem would be to recognize this obstacle and create a Moslem state. Honesty in advertising is also the best policy. A Texas evangelist has published a list of 723 sins. What have we been miss- ing? We thought the Ten Commandments covered all the deviltry to which man is heir. GENERALS AND MEDALS General Dwight D. Eisenhower, receiv- ing a tumultuous welcome upon his return to the United States, has been presented with an Oak Leaf Cluster to add to his Dis- tinguished Service Medal for “conspicuous service” to the peoples of the United Na- tions. We have expressed the opinion, upon several occasions, that the services of Gen- eral Eisenhower are not yet fully appre- ciated. The award contrasts strangely with the Medal of Honor that was voted to Gen- eral MacArthur shortly after he arrived in Australia. Chapter 2 LINDLY, she groped her way along the great hall of terrors to the den and entered. The c! ing of the door war accompanied by a terrifying clap of thunder. The den door flew open and Magnolia waddled in with a cup of hot coffee. She placed the silver tray on the ‘mirrored coffee table which stood in front of the daven- port. With sugar gro voters during the campaign and on} placed in the coffee one lump of sugar, stirred it, then looked at the trim, reclining Agate of Madge whose eyes were half closed. Madge clenched her fists. “You're right, Magnolia.” Then she turned slowly, facing Mag- nolia. “We must find a way, a way to bring him back!” _ “Dat’s de spirit, chile!” Mag- nolia burst out jubilantly. “You has got a man worth fightin” fo and don’t you ever forget it! Here,” she said. Fumbling through her apron poss she produced a mangy-looking rabbit’s foot, and placed it in Madge’s hand. “Dat will clinch your Juck. I knows, *cause I done raise dat rabbit mahself on nothin’ but four-leaf clovers!” Satisfied, Magnolia left the den, and Madge, thoughtfully fingering the rabbit’s foot, returned to the davenport. STAIRS in the locked-up family closet, Uncle Louie was very much awake and pacing back and forth restlessly in his dark, cell-like confinement. He mumbled aloud in exaspera~' tion: “I can help that young lady, if she’ll only come up here and let me out! If she doesn’t, we'll both end up with nervous break- downs!” : i Uncle Louie’s desperate impati- ence overpowered him; he fran- | tically grabbed the door knob and nearly shook it off its hinges. The rattling noise awakened Madge and Sunshine with a start! They both sat up with alertness, their eyes wide open, listening. Sunshine emitted a low, warning growl. : “Shhh! Quiet, Sunshine,” whis- | i | pered Madge. With bated breath | she waited for the uncanny sound | to return, hoping fervently it wouldn't. Upstairs Uncle Louie was also alert and listening, hoping to hear | a sound—any kind of a sound, as Jong. as it. would bring action. Hearing none, again he grabbed | the door knob and shook it vio- jently. The crepitant sound again pierced the dem S Madge, wild-eyed, cried, “There it is again!” Sunshine acknowl-| edged it with a sharp bark which nearly shocked Madge out of her frightened senses. “Let’s go to bed, Sunshine. Th way I’m behaving, you'd think I believed in spooks.” But Sunshine was no longer by her side. Like a flash, he had shot | peg Magnolia | “Please, my And he had made a beeline for the closet in Uncle Louie’s room! Madge was puzzled. She pond- ered, What is in that closet? What can it be? Then hopefully she thought, Maybe, years ago, one of the family dogs hid a bone in there. And having settled on that conclusion she slowly crossed to the closet door, with Sunshine excitedly barking his approval. |She thought she felt like a new person until her fingers touched the key. The clicking sound of the turning key made her grow weak in the knees. “I must get out of here while I ave an ounce of strength left!” she whispered. And, oblivious to Sunshine’s renewed pleading, she moved unsteadily toward the door, , when ep ee a horrible thigg/happened.
