ABOUT HELPING GERMANY The United States Military Govern- ment in Germany has the double job of enforcing peace terms and keeping order. Consequently, it is vitally interested in the food situation, knowing that disorder will inevitably follow starvation. on me ern el otered at Key West, Florida, as second elass matter ———— OF THE ASSOCIATED PRES: LJ lusivel: titled to ii i i i i = ted Prose sie, enslustvely ontitled to In discussing the situation with form: or hot othe: credited in this paper and|er President Herbert Hoover, American ee the local ne’ published Tere. officials insist that food must be imported in order to assist the recovery of German economy which is vital to recovery of Europe. Obviously, say the experts, “a population which must devote its full effort to the daily search for food” can- not develop political stability. The economic recovery of Germany “is almost at a stand-still”, declared the food expert of our military organization. They go further to point out that the trans- port facilities of Germany are required to move supplies across Europe and that Ger- ve Year ADVERTISING RATES Made known on application. aan NOTICE sooting ptte rds of thanks, resolutions iy rot . ary Beticee, Bo mee will be t ea ag oh & tovenue ie tt 4 The Citizen is a publi> mn of general interest but it fo emunications EDITORIAL. BY JOE BARRY Chapter 26 | #!4s# Rut descended to the ground floor and went to the garage attached to the apartment build- ing. He called for his car, a con- vertible with a souped up engine that he kept there for emergen- cies. é On the street he gunned the engine and swept west toward Haistead. From the glove com- partment he took a,flat .38 auto- matic and checked the clip with one hand. He slipped it into his jactct pocket. and added a pair cf fil clips. Into his hip ppeeee he put a slender, heavy black- icck. Where he was headec, the sl-ulls were hard and needed per- suazion. Fe parked the car a block from Pig Mick’s place and looked down the street. The only light, besides tre yellow street lamps, came reared atop the wall above him. Instinctively he threw himself to one side but the shadow fell on him, throwing him against the glass of the window through which he had. been peering. The glass shattered as Rush fell half into the room. The fall dazed him and he toppled slowly, falling through the broken glass into the room, his feet hanging out of the shat- tered window. Instinct warned him to play dead. He let his eyes flutter shut but his hands were active. They searched the floor beside him and closed on a razors edged sliver of glass. Rough hands seized him, and as he was jerked roughly to his feet, he abaped the glass into a jacket pocket. He was thrown into a chair and moments later icy water was splashed in his face. He let himself come awake slow- ly, shaking his head, spluttering through the water. He opened his the balls of his feet. He stood in front of her and lookea dow, gloating. He drew back an arm and slapped her with the flat of his palra, hard. Her head snapped around and came back to look up at him, “What emeralds?” thickly. He slapped her again and again. Her head bobbed on her should- ers. “Hold it, Wilmer,” said Jago. “We want her conscious. We must ye more subtle.” He walked over to her and nodded Wilmer aside. “You are quite fond of your love- ly face, aren’t you, my dear?” he asked. 4 Leslie looked at him dully. “It would be a shame to spoil such beauty. I hope you won't force me to use this.” He held a glowing cigar end under her eyes. She shuddered and recoiled.

He predicted that the Japanese people, looking for a new religion, might follow he emperor's lead. This is an interesting report because, undoubtedly, the Christian religion can do much for the Japanese people. The sug gestion that thousands of Japanese will follow the emperor's leadership and em- brace the “new religion” brings to mind the practice of ancient times when the religion of a nation was the religion of the king or emperor. lt will be remembered that Generalis- simo Chiang Kai-shek, Chinese war lead- er, whose wife was educated in this country and a_ Christian, studied the Christian religion and decided to become a Christian. There is no indication, how- ever, that there has been anything like a mass movement of Chinese to follow his example. The best thing that the Christians ean expect of the emperor, if he elects to accept Christianity, is that his example in studying their religion, will encourage others to do likewise. It is only through individual study and personal conviction that religion makes bona fide and per- manent gains. The discussion is based on a news- paper report of the prediction of a Jap- anese Christian minister, but so far there is no intimation from Japan that he is corrct. AVOID FAME AND LIVE! If you want to live to a ripe old age, set your mind against the limelight of fame and forget the effort to achieve a reputation that classes you with the great and near-great. This advice is based on the report of Dr. Mapheus Smith, sociologist for the Selective Service System, who studied the life history of those included in “Who’s Who in America” and discovered that the vast majority of them did not reach the age promised by life expectancy tables. Mr. Smith thinks that the “feverish- ness’ of modern times, the strain on those occupying public places and the worry that attaches to responsibility explain the fact that the men and women who achieve reputations are dying close to the age of fifty. Driving advice: Rely on your brakes instead of your horn. Firmness is that admirable quality in | ourselves which is just ornery stubborness in others. There is no reason for people to fight ever religion and there is no reason for anybody to surrender his religious views.

There will be some Americans to in- sist that the Germans be allowed to stew in their own juice. They will point out ; that the plight of the German people is a direct result of the Nazi effort to dom- inate the world. In this, they will be right. Nevertheless, nothing will be gained by letting the German people suffer if this means that millions of other people, many the innocent victims of Nazi aggression, suffer unduly. We have no idea that the Germans should be punished in a spirit of revenge, atlhough they must bear a heavy burden of suffering as a result of their country’s aggression. The sole test of our attitude toward Germany, and the Germans, in our opinion, should be the effect of our assistance upon the other peoples of Europe. If helping the Germans will help them, and create stable economic and political conditions throughout Europe, then the proper course is to help the Ger- mans. Westbrook Pegler was sued for $6,- | 000,000 by the president of the Inter- national Latex Corp. alleging libel in Pegler’s column, but the judge in dis- missing the suit stated that the complaints do not “state a cause of a®tion as a mat- ter of law.” BOMB TEST ON JULY 1ST The atomic bomb task force is ex- pected to sail from the West. Coast on April 30th for “Operations Crossroads” for the test to be niade at Bikini Atoll. The first test is scheduled for July 1st and it is believed that at least three-score Congressmen will be in the party viewing the explosion of the bombs. Some seventy- seven of the one hundred target ships, in- cluding five battleships, will be used and as many as survive will appear in the second test. The first bomb will be exploded 100 feet or more above the armada. The sec- ond will be exploded at the water’s sur- face. No new design in armor or protec- tive measures are being used as the pur- pose of the test is to gauge the ability of ships and equipment as they now exist to withstand the bombs’ explosion. All types of ground equipment, used by the Army, will be tested. Heavy and light tanks, jeeps, trucks, guns, “duck: erash trucks, airplane fuselages, airplane engines and other equipment will be lash- ed to the weather decks of the battle- ships. After the tests have been made and the experts have assessed the full effects of the bombs, it is expected that naval engineers and scient will consider the task of redesigning vessels, turrets and stategy in order to meet the challenge of the terrific explosive force. Statesmen and generals enjoy great fame during their lives; but the fame of the philosopher and the poet is more en- during. BOOSTING GOVERNMENT SALARIES |the Government in top p receiving $10,000 a year. Congress is putting the O.K. on the continuance of those high salaries. The House of Representatives increase to each of 980,000 Government employees. A sort of face-saver was sprung at the same time in Congress when | a bill was introduced by a Republican Con- gressman from Illinois that provided for dropping 200,000 Federal workers from the payroll. That is an oft-repeated sug- gestion on Capitol Hill but it never goes through — apparently just the same old bluff! f:om the window of Big Mick's piace, which threw a bright red glow on the sidewalk. He headed back to the allev and found a telephone pole wit! iron steps for linemen. Without hesitation, he mounted the pole and stepped lightly r onto the roof. He felt his way back along the wall till he founda window. A crack of light showed around closely drawn blinds.. He plas- tered his eye to the crack and could see most of the room. In a chair against the‘far wall sat Jago, a cigar stuck in one cornez> of his mouth. He was looking at a point just to Rush’s'left. Rush saw the back of a head that he recognized as Big Mick’s and for a moment he saw Wilmer, as he walked across the room toward the window. He stopped just short and to the left of the win- dow. Rush strained to hear voices but only a low, indistinguishable rumble came through the lass. It was time, he decided, that he join the party. He entered it in a somewhat different manner than he had ex- pected. He had only.a seconds warning, as a shadow a few shades darker than the other shadows eyes and looked around him. They were all there. Jago, Wil- mer, Big Mick, four of his men, and Leslie. Leslie was seated in a similar chair against the op- poste wall. He noticed she looked edraggled. “The boys they?” he ase Big Mick answered him, ‘ “Shut up, Henry. Frisk h* and tie him up, boys.” Rush felt hands slap his pockets and extract the gun and clips from his jacket. They missed the blackjack and the sliver of glass. Two rope ends appeared and tied his hands behind his back. The same hands shoved him back into the chair. He sat quietly. Big Mick turned to Leslie. “Now, baby, give. We <on’t want to hurt you. But we gotta know where you hid those rocks. We got Henry here now. He’s your last hope, so give.” “What emeralds?” asked Leslie. Big Mick looked at Wilmer. “I guess you'll have to work on her some more,” he said. \(\abee licked his lips with the tip of a red tongue and i walked noiselessly toward her on Bley: rough, don’t For Representative i DR.
