Credit to whom credit is due. THE ORACLE. THE MEYERS MESS Maj, Gen. Bennett E, Meyers makes a somewhat: sorry picture as he reveals the details of his activity be- fore the Senate subcommittee investigat- vartime _ ing war profits. The officer seems to have taken care ‘of himself while other Americans were fighting. He also had an_ eye out for his friends, male and female. The lurid details should not mislead anyone into believing that he was, or a typical example of officer-conduct during a, great war, despite the several decorations that he was awarded. The suspicion that there are other, “heroes” of the same type, however, ould be removed from the public mind, even if it takes a general inquiry into the conduct and profits of desk-warriors and their friends. NOT UP TO F.B.I. Commissioner Clifford J. Durr, of the Federal Communications Commis- sion, does a good deed. in denouncing the practice of the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation for making “unsolicited reports on individuals” in Federal employment. Mr. Durr says that the reports of pri- vate information are often “baseless gos- sip,” but J. Edgar Hoover defends the ac- - tivities of his agency, calling the reports a vital part of the FBI's work. Let’s look over this contention. If ev- erybody who works for the government must pass the scrutiny of the FBI the ef- fect will be to give Mr. Hoover and his minions the right to remove anybody. This would be an absurdity and represent un- usual dictatorial power in a minor Federal bureau. One does not impugn the motives of Mr. Hoover, or his bureau. It is unneces- ~ Sary to do so in connection with support- ing the position of Mr. Durr. The patent fact is that what Mr. Hoover may think of the thinking and activity of employes is not the test to be applied in a demo- cratic country. ———— Just because you can’t buy character you do not have to employ crooks.

Bureau personnel are human beings Just the same as the rest of us. They have no way of divining anything. The blow in question was a freak storm that formed in the northwest not far from Key West. Scores of Key Westers, aceording to infor- mation given The Citizen, saw the dense black clouds forming in the northwest about half an hour or so before the winds struck the city. That was the only warn- ing given by the storm, and the bureau already had issued its noon weather fore- cast. A hurricane or any other type of storm can be determined only after it has form- ed. As well ask the bureau to warn us that a hurricane is going to begin at this or that location, or a hurricane is going to turn loose tornadoes, as the hurricane that passed near Dry Tortugas late last Sep- tember did when it neared the mainland. Grady Norton, Miami weather man, said that, in all of his experience, he had never heard of a hurricane similar to that one, with its tornadoes and _ its terrific thunderstorms. The United States Weather Bureau receives weather reports from all over the world, and weather forecasts are based on those reports. Naturally, no report of the freak Friday storm reached Key West be- cause the Bureau personnel could not know anything about it before it had form- ed. After that, the bureau could deter- mine the way it was traveling, as the bu- reau did, and couid report its intensity, with little likelihood of its increasing or diminishing. In that instance, the bureau said it was diminishing, which turned out to be correct. This is the time of year to be think- ing up some good resolutions; 1948 is ap- proaching! DO YOUR SHOPPING AT HOME The families of Key West are begin- ning their Christmas shopping, consider- ing the purchases that must be made for the holiday season. We take this opportunity of suggesting to all buyers that they give local mer- chants an opportunity to supply their wants. The best that can be expected is that those who live in Key West will in- spect local stoeks before thinking about spending their money elsewhere. Trading at home is a_ form of civic loyalty that pays dividends. It is one way for every citizen to make a contribution to the business interests that support local institutions and give employment to local people, If all of us would resolve to buy at home, so far as possible, the result would be noticeable. The lure of buying something cheap often fools buyers but price is not the only guide to intelligent spending. Of course, given equal values, the buyer i naturally going to spend his or her money where the price is cheaper. That is the rule followed by successful merchants in purchasing the goods they sell and there is nothing against it. However, local merchants are entitled to a chance to sell you what you want at a price you can afford. They are not en- titled to charge you more for the same goods than reliable merchants elsewhere. We feel sure that our merchants can meet competition and that their stocks are ample to offer you variety in selection. Buyers should never forget the saying that no matter how cheap you make an article, there is always somebody else who can make an inferior product and sell it for less. In fact, beware of ‘just as good” merchandise. It is economy to buy recog- nized values, that stand up under use and have behind them the guarantees that none but local merchants can supply. money is to seek a 40 per cent return on your investment. FATE Fate is a word used by many human beings in discussing the vagary of events and the arrival of fortune and misfortune. In Connecticut recently a woman took her life and that of her four children. On the same day, in Hiinois, a family of six persons died in an explosion of a stove. Fate, if on the job, would have arrang- ed things differently, The accident would have occurred in Connecticut, making un- necessary murder and suicide, and the | family in Illinois would be alive.

I.—(AP).— Albert Gold finds that house painting may not be art, but it) does not stop him from turning out pictures. Gold explained that when he came to America 25 years ago from Russia with his parents, he wanted tg be an artist. In his in- nocencé he thought it had some- thing to-do. with art—it was painting, wasn’t it? But later, he financed much of his formal art education by paint- ing houses, gained several schol- arships and continues to earn his living by painting—both of the house ‘and picture variety.
