When there were 24 days still to go in the session, the Shelbyville Democrat points out, the Gen- eral Assembly had already given birth to 727 measures. The alert taxpayer associa- tion in Indiana also discovered that 230 of these bills involved the increase of taxes, while only five tended to decrease taxes. Another 43 bills dealt only with the ad- Ministration of tax moneys. Indiana is not an isolated case. The proportion of spending proposals is prob- ably, about the same in most states and it takes an alert citizenry to know, as does the Democrat, “that even in time of war, special groups and interests are push- ing private and greedy. gain above every- thing.” = The pressure group is here to stay. Op- posing it are relatively few individuals and organizations with the acumen to under- gtand what goes on when' the state legisla. ture meets to plan the spending of: the taxpayer’s money. But the support given by the public and the press to the forces fighting waste will be quickly reflected in the annual tax bill. Keeping the bright Tight of publicity on the number of pro- Hosed spending laws is an effective way of informing the people on just what goes ‘on at the state capitol. SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF Professor Harold Laski, whose only official position in England is connected with the Labor Party, recently made the statement that a socialist electoral victory was needed in France to bind Britain and France more closely together. —~ With the advent of the Labor Party into power there was considerable specula- tion as to the policies to be followed in Great Britain. Naturally, everybody con- nected with the party gave expression to personal views and this is what Professor Laski has done. A press dispatch 6ffice commentator exp] fessor speaks only for him and that his statement does not nece: y represent the views of the British Government. - While many people are expecting a social and economic revolution in the Brit- ish Isles, the history of the British people lends support to the view that changes will be gradual and that, in the end, whatever socialism develops in England will be dis- tinctly British in type. s that a foreign ns that the Pro- out a small intent upon Every celebration brings minority of the population raising hell. Now that the war is over and we un- derstand the importance of military might let us resolve that the United States will be prepared for the next war when it comes, as come it will. Hope of peace is Not synonymous with successfully defend- ing the country. It was George Washing- ton who said: “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of pre- serving peace,” GOOD BRIDGE NEWS (eee -y Despite the curtailment in the use of gasoline, due to the war, the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District has emerged into the postwar world in a healthy financial condition, according to an announcement made yesterday by Engineer B. M. Dun- ean, manager of the Overseas Highway. While his announcement will cause gratification in Key West, in the knowl- edge that the bridges, ultimately, will be able to pay for themsetives, yet it should not dampen the ardor of those Key West- ers behind the wiovement to make the bridges: toll-free. \ As the Lions have pointed out, the highway is the only artery connecting Key West with the mainland—it is our life- line, so to speak, and we should not have to pay when we use that lifeline to go to the mainland and return, and _ visitors should not be obliged to pay when they come to Key West; because their coming will contribute greatly to our economic stabilization. The brightest outlook in Key West’s economic sky is the tourist trade, and everything that is done to promote that trade should be encouraged. As.The Citi- zen has remarked before, tourists will come here, tolls or no tolls, yet, as has been pointed out also, mere tourists will come if the bridges are toll-free, for it seems to be a quirk of human nature to avoid road- ways on which tolls are charged. Some drivers resent the time taken. to pay the tolls more than they do the tolls themselves. So while we may rejoice over the good showing the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District has made, yet let us not forget to continue our efforts to have the tolls re- moved. jo eee Senator Pepper is a superfluent op- timist or just a political dreamer when he says that “we shall build a world in which no human being shall ever again have to suffer want, in which no worker shall ever be without the opportunity for work, and in which no conditions shall ever be allow- ed to rise from the depths of economic crisis and political insecurity which could result in another world war coming to pass”. In order to secure the above con- summation, devoutly to be wished, the star- ry-eyed senator must first go about chang- ing human yature from what it is. UTILIZING ATOMIC POWER The explosion of the first atomic bomb. todestroy Hiroshima, Japan, also unloosed the imaginations of many people in this country. Some are predicting that utilization of the process will result in transforming everything connected with the use of power. This is said without any intention of deriding the predictions which, in most cases, will come true some day. Never- theless, as William B. Stout, automotive engineer, points out, long study and ex- perimentation lie ahead of any practical application of the atom as a source of power. Mr. Stout admits that he expects “to see gasoline used as long as I live” to pro- pel automobiles, but insists that the poss bility of atomic power means even wee peace-time react gn to warfare: e foresees “an autom “engine no bigger than a man’s fist and says that the future will see ships, planes, railway trains and other transportation propelled by energy secured from atoms. Mr. Stout says it is too early to specu- late on the use of atomic power because of the danger involved. Lack of know- ledge of how to control the energy of the atom prevents the immediate utilization of the great power, but, eventually, mankind will receive vast benefits from its discov- ery and utilization. Sidney Hillman, official of the C.1.0., says that 10,000,000 workers will be out of employment within the next eight weeks. Try and clear that one through Sydney. tt FALLS FOUR STORIES AND LIVES The average person, falling from the fourth floor of a building, would not ex- pect to survive a landing on a sidewalk. However, press dispatches relate that three-year-old Irene Oliver, of Cincinnati, fell from the fourth floor to the ground and that physicians could locate no in- juries. Such events are hard to explain and this leads many people fo conclude that the miraculous has happened. However, the law of chance operates and sometimes produces results that are hard to believe.

Genevieve Humbert carried on a family tradition in her own right from the days of ease when money in unstinted amounts had been his father’s inheritance and hers.

The XB-29 got the call and became the heart of the greatest program for a single weapon in war history. The XB- 32 became the standby, readied to ge when ordered. The Superfortress should not be throught of as just a big bomber. It was the entire B-29 program — design, development, production, training bases, supply ‘tactics and ordnance—that helped shatter the Japanese military machine. The first B-29 flew in Septem- jber, 1942, but the Superfort did not drop a bomb in anger until |June,. 1944, Even that speed was possible only through the boldest kind of planning, spending and execution. Once the design was accepted, production plans were begun even before the aircraft flew. Hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in plants. Thous- ands of sub-contractors were in- volved. Nothing was easy or simple. Training was a whole new pro- lion men and women and thous- jands of acres of precious farm- }land. That first base cost $150,- '000,000 and was used less than a year. What to hit and how to hit it were intricate military-economic problems. The search for answers jbegan while the B-29 was just a mess of board. A special incendiary — filled with a devilish jellied gasoline which scatters and stiiks and burns even on water—was devis- ed in New Jersey to be dropped in Japan. Bases Move Up The B-29 leap-frogged Japan’s outer defenses much as the sur- face forces by passed islands and isolated thousands of enemy troops. The Marianas gave them the first bases with an over water approach to the target. Iwo protection and the site of emer- gency landing fields. And as the Jand offensives moved closer to the Japanese mainland, bases for Superforts went along behind them. lines on the drawing!
