Alarmed by the inadequacies of the San Francisco Charter to meet the hard of international life in the atomic age, group, holding that only a World Goy- nment can deal with the situation, would d the United Nations Organization and build an entirely new structure. The stressing the obvious value of presently constituted United Nations Organization and feeling no compelling for immediate action, seek leisurely other group, the irge to strengthen it. However, there is a growing public pinion ealling for immediate steps leading t§ the ultimate development of the United Nations Organization into a World Gov- ment which the individual nations yuld retain maximum autonomy in in- rs but would delegate to the Government as much sovereignty a ary for the maintenance of inter- nptional security. This proposal would mean building. on the foundation of the United Nations Organization a super-struc- ture which would strengthen it and elim- nate its inadequacies in the light of the in ternal aff World developments Much may l opment of the Co new iurmned from the devel- stitution of the United It consisted of a pre- ble and six articles in which form it was adopted in 1787. It soon became manifest that it was less than a perfect organism and did not adequately promote the self-evi- truths proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. It was, therefore, de- cided to adopt a series of amendments to the ard explicit in- dividual and state nd these came irito force in 1791 in the form of the Bill of Rights. = Similarly, there is no reason Why ithe Charter of the United Nations Organiza- tiém should be scrapped despite its mani- {dat inadequacies but-there is every reason «By it should be strengthened by amend- njents so that a United States of the World miay be created, the surest means of main- taming peace. ly dent Constitution to safeg’ rights ¢ - Thrift and enterprise are twins; any- wey closely related. A hundred years ago the wages of a carpenter was around $1.40 a day; now it s about $1.50 an hour. Much of the yearning for what you ven't got would be eliminated by the in- gent use of what you have. People can be divided into two class- es: (a) those ready to fight for their rights apd (b) those who doubt if the gain is worth the ruckus. Maybe one of these days the world will arrive at the millenium, with newspa- per columnists and radio commentators actually solving all its probems. The gambler who has the money and the wit to corrupt is a greater criminal than the so-called law enforcement officer who has the ignorance and the poverty to be cérrupted, but most guilty are the officials who have knowledge of the corruption, even if not corrupt themselves, and display culpable indifference. 5 DON’T BREATHE A WORD To have heard what some of the state Officials said about the $100,000,000 bal- ance Florida has in the treasury, one would have thought that they picked the money off trees, not out the pockets of taxpayers, in one form or another. While proudly talking about the huge balance, not a word was said about the re- duction of taxes, nothing about the seven cents that the owner of an automobile must pay the state every time he buys a gallon of gasoline; nothing about the four cents he must give the state every time he buys a package of cigarettes; nothing about recommending to the counties that they try to reduce their taxations; nothing, not a single word, about any relief in sight for the taxpayer, staggering under the burden of federal, state, county and city taxation. When will the limit be reached before any disposition is shown by the taxgatherers to lighten the burden of taxation in the state of Florida? The Citizen recalls again that, up to about 15 years ago, Colonel Peter O. Knight of Tampa used to cite, as the outstanding incentive for people to come to this state, the lowness of taxes, with no personal, documentary or intangible taxes. But those days are gone, apparently forever. Not only are personal and intangible taxes paid, but, since they were adopted, the state, year after year, has been digging into every nich and corner to see if it could find other things to tax. While we do not drink intoxicants and, therefore, pay nothing in taxes on them, yet the collection of those taxes was the subject, one day last week in Tampa, of 4 glowing statement made by the director of the state beverage department, the man who said, on a recent visit to Key West, that gambling was more wide-open here than in any other city in the state, though he toned down his remark when he was asked about Miami and Tampa, particu- larly the Ybor City part of Tampa, where one may buy, or could have bought, bolita tickets in grocery stores. This man declared, with becoming pride, that the state had collected $16,000,- 000 in beverage taxes during the last six months of 1945. He reflected the tendency that has long since been in effect in Tallahassee: collect, collect, collect, make the taxpayer pay, pay, pay; keep the tax trend upward; don’t breath a word about decreasing taxes of any kind. The poor are the worst sufferers from foolish expenditures. Any excuse for not doing your duty is neyer a sufficient alibi. Newspaper men should have a pas- sion for anonymity; in that way they avoid criticism and create a larger following. COMMENTS ABOUT UNKNOWN QUANTITIES Naturally there has been a keen in- terest in the agreements by Foreign Secre- taries of the United States, Russia and Brit- ain at the Moscow Conference. Who is going to own what—or lead nations around on a string? i A Commission of eleven, nations, with a council of four nations will esfablish fix- ed policy and rule over Japan. According to our best recollection the United States with the aid of the atmoic bomb brought Japan to its knees—but the different na- tions must connect—to help to keep the peace. The situation in Italy, Rumania, Bul- garia, Hungary, Finland and elsewhere seems to be in the patchwork stage and new treaties are straightening them out. We used to hear about Persia, but that | big spot in the world has been covered up under the name of Iran. There is a lot of political speculation about what is going to happen in Iran, inasmuch as the, oil beneath the surface in that part of the world is being sought by a number of nations, in- eluding our own. For, be it known, Amer- ican oil interests have long had their eyes peeled on Iran. Stalin says that Russia is not seking to dominate Iran. “Korea is promised a new form of a provisional government with assurances that it will become an independent nation. China is scheduled to have a “unified dem- ocratic government.” There may be a sin- gle independent government, but you have got to stretch your imagination a good deal to believe that it will ever be democratic. “Of course” the atomie bomb will be controlled by all the big nations and the news from Moscow is that it will be elim- inated from world arsenals. Your guess is i as good as anybody’s. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 28 {Tuesday 12 m. to Wednesday 1:32 a.m.] TEINWAY was the only one very late and he had to attend a first night, he said, when he ar- rived at midnight. They were all in the cocktail room, Jerry sitting on a stool behind the bar with a notebook and pencil at his right hand. It was almost like that other night except that Robey and Moore anc Alma were not there. Again tension pulled at the ‘occu- pants but it exhibited itself in * quick, veiled glances instead of nervous laughter. “Look here, Doc,” Jerry was saying to Wandell. “I think you could be a little more explicit about Alma. I'll bet you know damn well where she was. “Jer- ry’s earnestness overshadowed the implied suspicion. He had scarcely touched the scotch and soda in front of him and he was working away importantly at his notes. Doctor.Wandell flushed. “It’s very difficult to learn ex- actly when one is in the state of shock she was after the—event. I did not see her until I found her on the floor after Miss Dillard screamed. She was at a point half way between the piano and the door to the foyer. lyingon the rug, unconscious. She could only have come from the library or Baker’s bedroom since I came from the outside hall.” . “It couldn’t have been the li- brary or Baker’s bedroom since I came from the outside hall.” “It couldn’t have been the li- brary,” Frank said, “because that door wasn’t opened from the time Robey left until Grace—” “She was in the closet behind the piano,” Julia told them and her heart pounded so she could hardly hear her _own_ voice. “Moore and I found a piece of blue thread there and I’m sure it was from. her handkerchief.” They all !ooked directly at her. The doctor’s eyes were gleaming strangely. She had made up her mind to tell everything—to get it all out so the murderer could not By Ernestine Adams mistake his own danger, She hadn’t evaded the fact it would be at her peril. She even faced the humiliating possibility that per- haps she was playing heroics be- cause of the Inspector. But it all boiled down te the choice of go- ing to a trial where she might rot be convicted but could not be cleared or of taking a chance on proving her innocence once and for all. : Her decision had come speedily but the ability to carry it out re- quired all her courage. While some men from headquarters were in the apartment that evening she had spent the time in the library going over the things she must tell and the points about which it would be better to maintain some mystery. “Let’s go look at that closet,” Jerry said, They followed him in a body through the corner of the dining room and across the brilliantly lighted salon to the opposite end. They might have been an etching, thought Julia. Virginia and Grace ing unconsciously from widow’s weeds, had chosen a white crepe model with a wide rhinestone belt. Frank and Steinway were in tails and Jerry wore a dinner jacket, 3 Jerry flung open the door of the little closet when Julia pressed the release. “Where'd you find it, Julie?” She pointed ou the hinge where the threads had been caught. “Then she might know who did the deed.” Franl: said. i “But she doesn’t.” Julia assured plain to her own ears and sounded’ not at all frightened—not small and scared and cowardly as she feared they would. “Alma came here last night and she didn’t know Robey was dead and didn’t tell her because she isn’t— strong. It must have been her footsteps I heard before Grace came in.” “Yes, that is probable,” Frank admitted. “There is quite an ex- panse around the closet which the rug doesn’t cover.” “Td forgotten about the closets,” said Grace slowly. SPIRITUAL FOOD By J. W. R. FOUR THINGS COMELY IN GOING There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in go- ing: A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; A greyhound; A he goat also; and A king, against whom there is no rising up. (Proverbs 30:29-31) PAY THAT WHICH THOU VOWEST Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon! earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through! the multitude of business; and a! fool’s voice is known by multi-! tude of words. i When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he, hath no pleasure in fools: pay; that which thou vowest. Better| is it that thou shouldest not vow,! than that thou shouldest vow and pay not. H Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou, before the angel, that it was an’ error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy! the work of thine hands? For in! the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vani- ties: but fear thou God. (Ecclesiates 5:2-7) GOD REGARDETH OPPRESSION OF THE POOR | If thou seest the oppression of; the poor, and violent: preverting of judgment and justice in a prov-! ince, marvel not at the matter:) for he that is higher than the} highest regardeth; and there be) higher than they. Moreover the} profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by thej field. (Ecclesiates 5:8-9) | More Bible Facts | The first Bible ever printed was! the Vulgate, or vulgus, transla- tion of the Old and New Testa- ments into Latin for the “com-; mon people” about the year 400, A.D. It is the standard book of the Roman Catholic Church. The Red Letter Bible was print- ed for the first time in 1901. It was originated by Dr. Louis} Klopsch. i There are 31,101 verses in the, Bible, 23,144 in the Old Testament} and 7,957 in the New Testament. The word “Palestine” appears only once in the Bible, Joel 3:4. {| Today’s Scripture Quotation: “Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.”—Pro-/ verbs 3:31 Brazil is the fourth largest coun- try in the world.

We'll have more ¢rimes;than a mere murder to solve then,” snapped Virginia, She had said little all evening and had stayed close to Frank as if she distrusted the others, “Did the rest of you have to go to the morgue today after the session with Beau Venable?” asked Steinway. “I did,” said Virginia, “and the fools show2d me a woman first b: mistake and it gave me jitters.” There was a gasp from some one and then they all began talk- ing at once. The same “mistake” had occurred to each of them. “Did anybody know who she was?” demanded Jerry. “You'd have to know her pretty well to have recognized who it was,” Grace remarked. “I learned at least that she’d been dropped overboard the same way Robey was,” Jerry told them. “I had seen her before with Robey but I didn’t know who she was.” Julia’s voice came out bell clear. “She was connected in some way with Robey because she gave him a scrap/of paper and he paid her; for it. But Robey-didn’t tell me what it was and.. didn’t ask phim tt might have been impor- an She ‘smiled at them a little tremulously. Only the murderer scrap of paper. Moore probably told where he’d found it and if I] he hadn’t, the perfume would give a strong indication that since she knew about it she had hidden it herself, Perhaps the perfume had al- ready marked her as one who had to be got rid of. It made her a little sick. And it was Jerry who had planned this evening so that they would all be together.
