Govern- mental officials contend that controls are necemary but business leaders, particu- larly the National Association of Manu- facturers, insist that the abandonment of controle would stimulate production and ease the inflationary threat. Along this line, the Christian Science Moniter points out that the recent report of the Federal Reserve Board, showing that production in the whole economy is aiveady above the level of any previous peacetime period, does not support the contention that the policies of the OPA are handicapping production. Of course, in some lines, like automobiles, refrigerators end other products, there is not great pro- duction but this is explained by strikes. The Boston newspaper says that the “experience ef 1919-20 gives dire warn- ing that were controls to be abandoned, as advocated by NAM, such a scramble would ensue for scarce materials that com- petitive bidding would send prices sky- high.” ft also answers the NAM contention that keeping profits twenty-five per cent below 1996-39 (before taxes) and figuring prefite upon net worth, instead of upon volume of sales, destroys business in- contives. The newspaper points out that “with profits the average some 400 per cent above recent peacetime years and average retail store profits 1,000 per cent higher than before the war, there would seem to be plenty of incentive for production.” Comparing what happened in the United States during and after World War | with what has happened and is pening te prices at the present time, industry on ha i» enough te convince most Americans that OPA has accomplished a splendid job in holding prices far below the line that one would expect in view of the nation’s experience in the earlier war.

The elevator does not get full credit for its efforts. It not only elevates but also descends its freight. It goes down as well #* up, yet only the elevation is considered. The British term for elevator is lift, and that is a better designat prehensive enough. The carrier that moves from fleor to fleor, up and down, should have a better definition than that of a “mechanical contrivance that lifts up any- | thing.” as the dietionary has it.

CANCER A campaign to raise $12,000;000 for an organized attack on cancer, the second most formidable natural killer of mankind has been launched by the American Can- cer Society and President Truman has designated the month of April as: Cancer | Control Month. It is pointed out that forty per cent of the money raised will go to the national program, mostly for coordinated: research, while sixty. per.cent will be used for local programs. of. education, service and re- search, The fact that cancer kills 175,000 Americans every. year, or one each three minutes, and that the disease took the lives of 607,000 Americans during the war, as compared with the 294,000 dead or missing in combat, illustrates the neces- sity for some concerted: campaign. The national chairman of the cam- paign, Eric A. Johnston, says that the | American people should understand that | thirty to fifty per cent of all cancer cases { can be cured, on the basis of present-day knowledge, if the disease is established in its early stages. Surgery and radiation, or a combination of the two, effects a cure of at least thirty per cent of the cancer cases that are detected in the early cur- able stage. He points out, however, that even when people seek aid at the first sigr of cancer, they cannot be saved “unless there are adequate facilities for diagnosis | and treatment.” Not all people are eligible to enjoy complete freedom, Mistakes are a necessary part of edu- | cation, at least mistakes are inevitable in acquiring an education. Make enough of | them, and learn what you can from them, then you will acquire knowledge that is really valuable. As a fact if you profit from each mistake you make, it cannot | be called a mistake, but a process of learn- ing. ARMY DAY, 1946 On April 6, the people of Key West were asked to give some thought to the Army of the United States and the mili- tary organization, for its. part, celebrated the occasion by numerous demonstrations calculated to arouse interest in the Army. Just a year ago, when millions of American men were fighting the enemies of this country in foreign lands, the peo- ple of Key West would have given much to celebrate Army Day in peace, with | their loved one at home. Last year, at this time, nine Allied armies, including four American armies, were surging deep into German,y shattering the Nazi resistance and preparing the way for the surrender of the Germans. At the same time, American forces were operating on Okinawa, where the Tenth Army had divided the island in half, but. much heavy fighting remained before Japanese resistance on this bastion came to an end. We hope that Army Day made some lasting impressions in Key West and that our people will not forget what the Army has done for the country, particularly in the two World Wars. No nation ever had its fate more completely in the hands of its fighting men than the United ‘States in World War II. No nation has greater cause to appreciate the courage and sacri- fice of its fighting men. —_—$$___. Human beings are different in degree and in personality; no one rule fits every- body completely and there will be friction as long as the effort is made to apply the same rule indiscriminately. DENOUNCES MURDER BROADCASTS District Attorney Fred N, Howser, of Angeles, Cal., is aroused over the number of radio programs that feature murder and hopes to be able to bring criminal proceedings against those respon- sible for broadeasting so many programs | _ deal with nothing but crime and mur- | der, \ Los He calls the “crime programs _ per- nicious” and adds that they are contribut- ing to youthful delinquency. He does not believe that the sponsors of the ghastly | narratives have the right to justify their | stories of anti-social violence by a per- functory concession at the end that crime | | does not pay. Mr. Howser contends that the issue | is not one of censorship and. bases his action upon a California statute which makes it illegal to perform an act which | “causes or tends to cause or encourage any person under the age of 21 to com- imit” a long list:of crimes. | | | | a ‘ Chapter 20 BS Mick froze, with a. cigar halfway to his lips. Behind Rush’ the chatterr of the card game hushed. Big Mick looked at Rush through narrowed eyes, “Get the hell out of here,” he said. “And: don’t come back. We don’t’ want no busies nosing around in what: ain’t their busi- ness. Now blow.” Rush: lit'a cigarette and grinned up through the smoke. He blew a puff of smoke up at Big Mick. His voice was hard when he spoke. “Sit down,” he said. “The only thing you'll get. from gun- ning me is trouble.” Big. Mick sank slowly back into his chair. His eyes scowled out through slits. “What’s your lay?” he asked in a thick voice, “I told you. I want to know. about the Germaine girl. What did she want here and did she get it?” Rush looked around at the card players. “Well,” he said. “How long you been. out, Charley? And you, Slippy, it’s been five years since I saw you. You were on a dif- ferent lay then, What. happened to Handsome Dick? You were with him then. Who are your friends, boys? I don’t place them.” | The two Rush had talked to shrugged unhappily. Big Mick looked up.at them. “Who is this guy?” he asked. Charley answered. “Name’s Henry. Used to be a reporter. He's a dick now.” “Is there any reason why we shouldn’t work him over.” Slippy and Charley looked un- happy again. is this?” roared Big . “You guys afraid of this jerk?” Rush turned back to Big Mick and grinned, “They’re afraid of what'll happen to them if they. do. They know I'm too smart to have walked in here unless I was covered. Now, how about some answers?” From the corner of his eye Rush saw a furtive signal passed to Big Mick. The Big One changed sides of the fence. “Okay, if you know the boys, okay. About the Germaine kid. We showed her around a. bit, And, can you beat it, she wanted to-go along on-a job; Hell, I told her all the boys. were reformed, that they didn’t pull no jobs any more.” eee Rush: nodded: as if that were what he had expected. At the door he turned: “Okay. The next time she comes down here send her right out again. There’s go- ing to be a lot of heat on the guy who plays along with her.” Rush opened the door. “And if you really want to get burned, ‘the green rocks are the hottest things in town.” He paused‘in the door- way only long enough to see five jaws drop, then he slammed: the door and walked out through the bar and into the street. At the corner he caught a cab and gave Barney’s address. The cab rumbled off down Hal- stead. It had gone little moe than a block or two when a large black touring car swept along- side. The first shot woke Rush from the reverie into which he had sunk. He ducked to the bot- tom of the car as a dozen more shots rang out and glass splin- tered over his shoulders. Then the black car was out of sight around a corner. Rush sat up and dusted himself off. The cabbie turned around in his seat to survey his Passenger. “Getcha?” he asked. Rush looked at the cabbie in amazement. His cab had just been swept by bullets, his own life had been in danger, and he was non- chalantly asking questions about his. passenger. The cabbie seemed to sense what Rush was thinking. . ‘Hell, don’t worry about me, bub. I got insurance on the win- dows.” “Ya know who it was?” “No,” he answered. “I don’t know who could have done it. It doesn’t make much difference though.” And it didn’t. He knew now that somebody wanted him out of the way. It didn’t make much difference who. The precautions would be the same for anybody. ‘HE cab dre front of got out and | p at the curb in ney’s and Rush ned in the front Key West In Days Gone By FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF APRIL 15, 1936 i Mrs. J.

A hand tapped him: lightly on the shoul- er. “Who did what to who?” . Rush straightened and turned. It was. Sam- Carnahan, his eyes surveying the bullet holes in the rear windows. Rush looked at the surprise, “Why, where did those come from?” he said. “You. didn’t notice what was happening when the man shot at you?” holes in nocently. Carnahan looked at him for a long moment. “Okay, you don’t know. Where were you when it happened?” Rush pointed in a vaguely western direction “Out there,” ! he said. “Somewhere between Elgin and Omaha, no doubt,” said Carnahan caustically. “Okay, if you’re not going to tell me anything, let’s | havea quick beer and take a quick. trip.” They were halfway to Bar- ney’s door when Rush assimilated ie last phrase. He halted abrupt- ly. “What's with this quick trip?” he asked. Suspiciously Rush followed Carnahan into the bar where they found an empty booth and ordered beer. “Okay, the trip. Where are we going, maybe?” asked Rush. Sam swallowed beer and looked at the wall. “It’s this way, Rush.

Right away I got to bring you in.” “What if I don’t. go?” asked Rush. - “I got to. get a warrant,” said Carnahan. He was plainly em- barrassed. Rush looked at him for a long time, then grinned. “Okay,” he said, “I'll go. Drink your beer, Sam, this should be fun.” (To be continued) ANNOUNCED iii STATION Subject to Change Where to Listen— 1600 On Your Dia!
