SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1945 —- VUV VV VV VOI I IFFT III CORAL ROCKETS By L. P. ARTMAN, JR. NAABAABADDDADSADSDDDASD BEBBASABAAAAASS SWEETING STATES “Sugar” Sweeting dropped in to see me today regarding the rumor published yesterday in which we said we thought there was nothing to a rumored “recall” petition being circulated through the city against the three ma- jority in the present city com- mission but that there ome talk of a recall for Sweeting after six months. . “Sugar” went into the political situation fully with me and said, “The only angle I can picture is that certan fac- tions are sore because they did not get jobs. If they are dissat- isfied they should come to me and/ say these things to me. > wish to start anything f it. I would also I:ke to say that I made no commitments to any group or faction regarding jobs and I will als that certain of the Charte sup let me down on election . APPROACHED ABOUT JOBS “Sugar” added that he has been approached regarding the grant- ing of jobs here and jobs there and also about voting solidly with the Charter Group. “T only pledge I gave, and“I w vi clear on this in Charter meetings,” he told me, “was that I would do all in my power to enforce the present charter and I will do so. I will never vote sol- idly with a group or majority always, especially if I believe the point in question is wron Su- gar added that there were two other commissioners elected from the Charter Group, why pick just on him? say Gre as. Group| OPPOSED POLITICAL THOUGHT Well, thus goes politics. The thoughts of the people, opposed or otherwise congeal in two or more political groups and these groups attempt to seize power. A political group political group. As long a group is organized for a political purpose I will say and over again ther motives cannot always be} entirely objective. American pol- itics is one of the wonders of the world and is so subtle that few Europeans fully understand it. A| few articles | can cause pub-| lic opinion to veer y from a world-wide dec’sion. We ar erratic but one thing is ci we don’t stay stuck too long in a wrong attitude in America. We had a lousy Army starting off this war but, brother, those men real ly went through the best in 2] world against them when they organized. They didn't. stay, “poor” long. Of course, our great- est power is our potential strength. Many great political leaders think America could lead the world in peace as it did in the past war. Personally, I could| never be just a Democrat or just a Republican. The springs of the! power of each go in cycles. Right now, I believe there is much reed for leadership in the country and this leadership is not coming from} labor. A leader who can seize upon labor's ideals and also hav the brilliance to ferce product’on through at a dandy clip is much} needed at present. . ° HOW ABOUT HARDEN? Here's some miscellaneous dope sent this column: Maybe motor- ists haven't given it a thoug but the drive to clean up vacant jlots will eliminate some ous “bl.nd” corners. The weeds are ‘that high .. .

This statement from City Attor- ney Lancelot Lester. Some of the mimeographed copies of the charter are not complete. I still say the charter public relations job was one of the most botched up messes I know of. I cannot feature any motive so important which would not permit complete circulating of the copies of the charter around, with all amend- ments, as it was going to be acted into law. If not in a nev Paper, then distribute to all busi nesses, all clubs, all group agen- cies for epople to have ready ac- cess to. Already I hear some complaint about “vagueness” and untested court opinions on cer- tain portions of the charter. Well, regardless of what changes have to be made they can be made through the state legislature and fi _, United , from a rough perusal of the in- strument it certainly is courag- eous and to the point. But, let us have more proper public rela- tions on these public matters. e e ARMY MERGER I will say regarding the Navy- Army merger that I think that any “Operations” which has an Army man as head would be highly fraught with danger. For instance, those of you who com- manded ships in this war or had the “deck” or trained Army men Air-Sea Rescue know how king in sea knowledge d-force of the country is. Sometimes it is nothing sort of pitiful. On the other hand, I wn- derstand that the Navy very much favors a merger of the supply system under one head. But wher all’s said and done we} had a darn close-knit system dur- ing the past war. When Presi- dent Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Ad- | miral King and Stimson and For- restal, together with Russian and! Brit sh advice, decided how and when to invade Europe, all forces, | all units, all personnel were co- ordinated into one gigantic plan and it was the stuff. The co- ; operation there was superb. . . BAD COORDINATION In other places, not so hot. How about those men who sent a group of glider planes over an invad- ing convoy off S-cily right after a* German bomber raid and the American planes were shot to in the dark. Some dumb monkey back on shore where the invasion started, either in the Army or the Navy, was not “co- ordinating”. My belief, but re- mber I am a Navy man, is to the President or National Security Council Secretary (call him Prime Minister, if you will) confer with the top generals and als, the secretaries of War and Navy and air corps before each triphibious operation. It is thus in England, thus in Russia. to whizz your thoughts: will ne wars of the future be con- ducted from armored rocket craft supported by floating underwa- , ter ship-forts (nothing more than advanced rocket defense and of- |} fense bases) or will it be just Navy ships or just airplanes or just men in khaki. Or will ad- vance bases be armored forts of the stratosphere. You see, science holds most of the cards. e e HAVANA $5 EACH Well, I'm still waiting for that $5 a head boat trip in a car to Havana.
