Police authorities set up a guard on the highway to prevent the remains of the Dictator from reaching the Capital. Just what purpose would be served in Rome by the dead Mussolini does not readily appear. errerebere eteeeene © THAT WALKED LIKE GROMYKO (Christian Science Monitor) After Iran, after Spain, the world organiza- tion at Hunter College may find itself called upon to answer to public opinion for dropping the O from UNO. The officials should put this matter on the agenda and keep it there until they are sure they have the right answer. ‘ From the wide-eyed innocent O the states- : men have suddenly turned away as from a re- i = -“minder of misdeeds, The new international ship | 3 of state launched at San Francisco, we are now * told, had no berth assigned to this bulgy passen- ger. He nevertheless rode all the way to London _ and back to New York before his true status of Stow-away was discovered. Then he was handled like a hot doughnut, dunked in a sea of cool disdain and left to sink into obscurity. But he doesn’t. Cast your O’s upon the waters and they bob right up again A’s. Senator Vandenberg, who was “some of the American delegates at San Francisco, f where the O squeezed himself in, has pointed out that UNO without the O is just a grunt. Mr, ‘Vandenberg, in a spirit of compromise much meeded in these times, proposes to settle for UNA—this being a blend of the first two letters of United and the first two letters of Nations. We agree with the Senator that U. N. is in- ~ adequate. This newspaper punctuates it to ex- cuse its readers from grunting. But we still are not satisfied. For the United Nations is some- : thing more than the outcome of the San Fran- cisco Conference. It existed in war before the Charter was written. The concept includes UNRRA and other agencies. Of course, these are to be brought under the Charter by some form of agreement. But we shall still need a convenient term to distinguish between them and organs directly charged with preservation of peace. Really, it is not hard to imagine how the O erept into UNO. The Golden Gate meeting was called the United Nations Conference on Inter- national Organization (UNCIO). The conference aimed at designing an organization. So when it “fueeeeded we naturally would have a United Nations Organization or UNO. Possibly this is not the best title that can be found. It does seem to many people—some of our readers among them—and to us, the best that has been found so far. One of them points out that j UNO in Latin tongues is the world for one, and ‘ therefore has a deep significance for the United Nations. Further, that there is a practical advan- tage in a term that ends in a vowel; it is more suitable to most of the world’s languages, We shall not be surprised, nor much alarmed, if the (you grunt it) world organization is soon . forced to tackle the question of readmitting the O ‘that was forced to “take a walk.” seadans tr steeerereretrretee tretegtetensr reraenne peeaer ‘ —_————— - Every day nearly’ a hundred persons ~ ~edie or are injured in highway accidents: ; so what do you intend to do about your own speeding. : a CLEARLY AND DECISIVELY Voters are now clearer thinkers than they had ever been before. The old line of “pork barrell” promises and the opening up of the “pork barrell’ for them to have a look at it do not create the favorable im- pression as had been the case. In 1940, 1942 and 1944, Pat Cannon put on exhibitions of “pork barrell” pro- ductions, and the voters in his district fell for his “See what I’ve done for my district.” In that regard, he went further during the campaign for the May 7 primary than he had ever done before. On the platform and in the press in his district, he enumer- ated the things he had “brought” to his district, totaling $125,000,000. Locally, it was he who had our Naval Station re-opened; it was he who brought a system of running water to town. But his claims in that regard resulted in many hundreds of Key Westers laughing up their sleeve. They know that the Naval Station was put on an active basis because of the war in Europe and the almost certainty that the United States. would be drawn into the war. As things turned out, it was a certain- ty, and the government acted wisely in preparing for it. As to the Florida Keys’ Aqueduct System, Key Westers know that, at first, it was purely a Navy activity. Because of an inadequate supply of fresh water in the Navy Yard, the Navy decided to pipe water into Key West. The water main was to have been only 12 inches, and what hap- pened? Senator Claude Pepper went to his friend Jesse Jones, head of the Recon- struction Finance Corporation, and _per- suaded him to advance $1,500,000 to in- crease the main to 18 inches, so that residents of Key West also could obtain a supply of running fresh water. Readers of The Citizen may recall the streamer headline we published in The Citizen in telling about Senator Pepper’s success in obtaining the loan. But Cannon told the voters it was he who brought running fresh water to Key West. But, as it turned out at the polls on Tuesday, Key Westers were fed up on that kind of stuff. They thought clearly and decisively, as a result of which George Smathers, a capable young man, beat Can- non in Monroe by nearly two to one. If you want to secure cooperation promise a return of not less than 10 per cent., with a few side-favors thrown into the bargain. MODERN MYSTERY A female bank employee in New Jer- sey has been sentenced to five years in prison for the misuse of $140,000 of funds belonging tu the bank over a period of fifteen years. This is not, in itself, an entirely un- heard of criminal act. What amazes most Americans, however, is how the woman could have lived on such a scale without exciting the violent suspicions of bank officials. The investigatidn, reported by the judge who tried the case, showed that in five years she spent $6,200 at one sea- shore resort, $26,000 in a tavern near Trenton, $8,000 in other cafes, $16,000 for luxuries in a department store, $8,000 for other known purchases, $8,000 in tips to waiters, and $7,500 for taxes. These items add up to less than $100,- 000 but they indicate that the lady was enjoying life on a large scale through the use-of bank funds. Spending on such a lavish scale should have attracted atten- tion. A highly civilized community has in- dividuals ready to work for the common good, without expecting an extra dividend. CAVES FOR WAR USE It’s no use to be worried, but the Army and the Navy are investigating the possibility of establishing underground military and industrial installations in the event of another war when atomic bombs might make surface plants worthless. A group of military and civilian ex- perts, connected with the Army-Navy Munitions Board, has been directed to sur- vey the country’s caverns for possible military use and geological, military and industrial experts will visit them to obtain information as to their availability in con- nection with war-time produetion. Some of the places mentioned for in- spection are Carlsbad Caverns, New Mex- ico; Mammoth Cave, Kentucky; Wind (hve, South Dakota; Howe Caverns, New York; and a number of caverns in Vir- ginia and elsewhere. anchorite, “to disturb me no] “It seems to me, reverend fa- more.” ther,” said the knight, “that the “Either open the door quickly, smail morsels which you eat have or, by the rood, I will beat it thriven with you marvellously. and make entry for myself.” - ‘ou appear re fit to win The anchorite, not caring to.ex-|the ram: at a wreasling sane ase his door to shock, called out} than ee out your 1S Proud. “Patience, patience—spare| this desolate wilderness, saying thy strength, good traveller, and 1| masses, and living upon parc! will presently undo the door,| Peas and cold water. neh & it may be, my doing so}. “I see,” said the hermit, “that will be little fo thy pleasure.” | thou art a man of prudence and The door accordingly was} counsel; and now I bethink me opened; and the hermit, a large, the charitable keeper of this strong-built man, stood before the | forest-walk left me some food, knight, When his torch glanced up- | Which, being unfit for my use, the on the lofty crest--and golden| very recollection of it had escaped spurs of oe kni, iF who stood, esas my more weighty medi- without, the hermit, altering pro!

This knight had left the field abruptly when the victory was achieved; and holding his course northward, aused for the night at a small Bostelry. lying out of the ordinary route. On the next morning he departed early. The sun, by which the knight had chiefly: directed his course during the Gen f had now sunk be- hind the Derbyshire hills on his left, and since every effort which he might make to pursue his jour- ney was as likely to lead him out of his road as to advance him on his route, he resolved to trust to the si acity of his horse, The good steed had no. sooner found, by the slackened reins, that he was aban- doned to his own guidance, than he pricked up his ears, and as~ sumed, of his own accord, a more lively motion. He was justified by the event; for soon the tinkle of a small bell gave the knight to understand that he was in the vicinity of some chapel or hermitage. The knight, thanking Saint Ju- lian (the patron of travellers) who had sent him good harbour- age, leaped from his horse and assailed the door with the butt of his lance, in order to arouse at- tention. A It was some time before he ob- tained any answer, and the reply, when made, was unpropitious, “Pass on, whosoever thou art,” was the answer given by a deep hoarse voice from within the hut, “and disturb not the servant of God and St. Dunstan in his eve- ning devotions.” “I pray you, reverend father, as you are a Christian, to undo your door, and at least point out to me my road.” “And I pray to you, good Christian brother,” replied the : out delay.” * AFTER exchanging a mute glance or two, the hermit, out of the recesses of a- dark closet, brought a large pasty, baked in a pewter pee of unusual dimen- sions. This mighty dish he placed before his guest, who, using his poniard to cut it open, lost no time in making himself acquaint- ed with its contents. “By the true Lord,” answered the knight, “everything in spas me ke is miraculous, loly Clerk! for I would have been sworn that the fat buck which furn.shed this venison had been running on foot within the week.” The hermit was somewhat dis- countenanced by this observation; “] will reply to you,” said the}and, moreover, he made but a hermit, “with my finger, it being| Poor figure while gazing on the against my rule to speai. by words | diminution of the pasty, on which where signs can answer the pur-|his guest was making desperate pose.” So saying, he pointed suc- inroads; a warfare in which his cessively to two corners of the| Previous profession of abstinence hut. “Your stable,” said he, “is| left him no pretext for joining. there—your bed’ there: and,”|,, “By my faith,” said the knight, reaching down a platter 'with two| “thou art the most mysterious handfuls of parched peas upon it}hermit I ever met; and 1 will from the neighbouring shelf,| know more of thee ere we part. “your supper is here.” (To be continued) Your Horoscope | | from Naval service while Frank strong sympathies mingled with; Three Key West men have re-| He served with the infantry the combative tendencies which ceived honorable discharges from for six of the 24 months he was characterize this month.
