MONOGRAPHS Te Our Visitors: While Key West is iso- lated geographically, its inhabitants are not isola- |) thonists politically. | Yours, | THE ORACLE, FORESEES NO DEPRESSICN Speaker Sam Rayburn be- levee that it is silly to talk ebout a depression because | the people have thirty bii-| en to sixty billion dollars to spend. Moreover, in the opinion of the Texan, the people of thie country wil) continue to arn enough in the next five te eight years to buy every- thing they need. The prophecy is interest- ing but we wonder if Mr. Nayburn realizes how much of everything the average person needs. ATOMIC-WORRIED We have never been able to reach a satisfactory con- clusion as to whether the werld is “atomic-worried,” ae an Associated Press dis- pateh implies, or whether much of the fear about the stem bomb comes from the constant speculation of the journalists and commenta- tore Nevertheless, the White House has taken notice of the report that some of the bombs have been sent to the Rritieh, who, according to the rumor, were stock-piling them. The President has de- nied that any atomic bombs have gone to Great Britain and a White House secre- tary says that the only ones te get out of this country were used in the Bikini test or dropped on Japan. This ought to end the ru- mor, but it will not. When other news becomes dull, some enterprising column- ist or broadcaster, will re- write the report. Such things pasa as news. The world series demon- strated that the “dope” of the experts once more prov- ed incorrect. It is human selfishness that turns so many good things to evil. but if there were no selfishness what kind of a world this would be. Everybody would pass the buck to the other fellow and what a lot of loafers that would produce. With- owt selfishness there would he no progress in this world, it fellows then that while net a virtue in itself it has effects which benefit man- kind. : | whenever that rule is violat- | sition or demoted, SUSPICIOUS We have heard Key West- ers say repeatedly that it is hard for them to understand Russian psychology. A better term to use is Slavic psychology, the out- standing characteristic of which is suspicion of every- body who is not a Slav. And behind that suspicion is fear. What is true of a slav is true of Russia as a nation, though it comprises many races that can not under- stand one another’s lan- guage or dialect. But the dominating race in Russia today is of Slavic extraction. It lacks the open- ness of mind of the peoples of the western nations; it jacks sincerity, as a schem-; ing boy may lack sincerity. Often we may hear a schem ing child try to attain his aims by belittling something else that, on its face, does not appear to be concerned | with its aims. i Prime Minister Attlee of England gave a clear-cut picture to the world last week of the Russians’ atti- tude toward other nations. Because the Russian mind is contracted, as compared with the mind of western nations, it looks with suspi- cion on expressions of kind- ness and fairness that the peoples of the western na-; tions may employ toward] Russia. Instantly, the Rus- sians conclude that, behind the fairness and kindness, is a motive to break the Rus- sian guard of suspicion, so; that the -Russians may be! taken unaware in the consid-| eration of a question that concerns their country vi- tally. “Don’t be too friendly with foreigners,” Russian leaders say in effect, and 1 1 } ed, the violator is either re- moved from his official po- as was the case of Marshal Bhu- kov.

RADAR “SAW” THROUGH CLOUDS Clouds that marred or ob- literated the celestial dis- play of meteors trailing the comet, Giacobini-Zinner, could not prevent scientists using radar from “seeing” the display above the fog and clouds. The comet, which ap- proaches the earth every six and a half years, was 24,- 000,000 miles away but its tail, consisting of pieces torn from the main body, passed the earth early this month within 131,000 miles. In a_ few places, where favorable weather condi- tions permitted. observers reported many dashing pro- jectiles and one observer, in Chicago, counted 149 in ten minutes. He regarded the exhibition as unmatched in the United States since 1900. ; Other scientists called the display the most spectacular they had ever seen. If you want this writer’s opinion, the nation is in for some inflation, more labor trouble and, if we do not act smartly, an economic collapse. A WARNING The medical profession is not in favor of the socializa- tion or medicine, nor is the majority of the laity, but if the high cost of medical care is going to skyrocket further, some plan will be forced upon the medical profession, .unless it devel- ops a workable solution of this real problem. Major General Paul R. Hawley, Medical director of the Vet- erans Administration, said recently: “It is a fact that can no longer be denied nor evaded that medical care has be- come so expensive as to place it in the class of lux- uriles, “Tam amazed to find how few (physicians) realize just how close we are to some form of socialization| of medicine.” i | watchman. 21 years police ex-|75 YDS.
