Aine asinine Rea TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY By RUSSELL KAY The Florida State Advertising Commission has been pointing with pride to the amount of pub- licity Florida has been receiving in national newspapers and mag- | azines, but will hardly take credit: for the feature article published in a recent issue of the Saturday | Evening Post entitled, “Pink/j Pepper.” The article, written by Wesley” Price, gives three pages of text and two-thirds of a page of photo- graphs to Florida’s dynamic Sen- | ator and while it. describes him as “the best orator in the Sen-! ate,” it also labels him as “the most dangerous man to sit there} since Huey Long.” Harking back to the days! when the senator was practicing | as a country lawyer, the author! compares his defense of Jim|Common Man is in a hell of a%late Sidney Hillman of the CIO- Buchanan, convicted of murder in| 1927 and sentenced to death: for! shooting and killing a couple of, prohibition agents, to Joshua’s; halting of the sun. He points out | that Pepper was successful in; smothering five death warrants by court manouvers, and that five governors have refrained from sending Pepper’s client to the chair, who lives on in Rai-| ford, saved by gubernatorial; writer’s camp. Price reports that Buchanan recently appealed to the senator inquiring about his rights to an old age pension. While Pepper has not as yet favored pensions for convicted murderers, the author points out that the senator glories in the fact that he is termed the sen- ate’s outstanding liberal, and he favors government relief for anyone who is out of luck. He wants cradle-to-the-grave secur- ity and would make Uncle Sam a professional wet nurse, charged | with the responsibility of “look- ing after” an unfortunate critter he pleases to ‘term, “the Common Man.” “Without. a friend in the world—except Senator Pepper, of course, and Secretary of Com- merce Henry A. Wallace—the fix. He has a toothache, a psy- choneurotic twitch, a pregnant wife and no money for the doc- tor. His children suffer from vitamin deficiencies; the eldest girl is a juvenile delinquent and the youngest boy has a_ bad squint. The Common Man lives in a trailer, drinks contaminated water, doesn’t understand birth control and has been fired from a job at starvation wages for speaking to a union organizer.|to relieve Russia’s fears by con- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN MOTOR CARRIER RIGHTS APPROVED TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Sept. 4 (FNS)—The Florida Railroad Commission has approved trans- fer of all motor carrier operating rights of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company to the newly reorganized Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company. The Seaboard has ended its lengthy receiver- ship, and in its new corporate form is a“railroad” instead of a “railway.” The organizer was beaten up and chased out of town. The Com- mon Man wrote his Congress- man but got no answer because + he had been robbed of his vote | by the poll tax. i \ “That seems to be the Pepper j view of the Common Man. Con- | sequently he fights to abolish all! | Poll taxes, to widen the base: of | | social security and give unions) jmore and more _ power,” states | Price. Forsaking Roosevelt’s “a little left of center,” Pepper has gone so‘far to the left that his chief supporters in the publication ‘field are Communist “Daily Worker” and the magazine PM. | He is a strong supporter of the CIO and was a close friend of the PAC. He has spoken loud and long in his defense of Soviet Russia and has consistently taken Russia's side in international disputes ad- | vocating a get-soft-with-Russia | Policy as against Secretary ‘Byrnes and Vandenburg’s policy ;of “speaking plainly with Russia jon all-occasions as Russia has not ‘hesitated to do to us.” | Pepper wants the United States | NOTICE OF ELECTION WHEREAS, The Legislature of 1945, inder the Constitution ot 1885, of tate of Florid: lid pass 6 Joint Reso- lutions proposing amendments to the Constitution of ate of Florida, and the same were agreed to i.

Commenting on Pepper’s stand- ing in the Senate, Price states that most of his colleagues fear him, some because of his sharp tongue and others because of his manner. He is aloof and unbend- ing. He is deadly serious and seldom “lets his hair down” to become “one of the boys.” While Wesley Price’s article will probably please a lot of folks in Florida and elsewhere, it won't change the senator's atti- tude or seriously affect his fol- lowing. Pepper would never have reached the United States Sen- ate if he had had to depend on Saturday Evening Post readers for his votes. If he had had to run for re- election last May instead of four years from now he might have been defeated, but folks have a way of forgetting and Pepper is a past master at fence patching — Remember, they've never burned Jim Buchanan and it will be even a tougher job to crucify Pepper.
