THE KEY: Let's assume that the salary paid by the office is $3,000 a year. Jones, when he an- nounces his candidacy, is aware of the |. amount of the salary and implies that he will perform the duties of the office for the stated stipend, as lawyer folks are wont ‘The voters take Jones at his word and and inferentially led voters to believe that the amount the office paid was satisfactory to him. ‘On several occasions, The Citizen has taken the position that a candidate for public office enters ‘into an implied con- tract with the yeters that the emoluments connected with the. office suit him. A similar attitude has been taken by senators and representatives in Tallahas- see, who are complaining about insistent and persistent lobbyists in the capitol, | WEST CITIZEN: i 2 te 5 kidnap) front of the Fleming home, Every bridge and boat-dock leaving the| to island ‘of Palm Beach is under heavy guard—" There was_a “Howdy,” she ted Felici erent “Like to stay whites’ = ‘very much,” ‘es, we said Felicit; relishing yjeasiness, Rs Ue me—what did you do?” demanded Felicity. a = some of whom ate” trying to have their | — salaries boosted as public officials.

General Bradley urges that the bal- ance-of military power must be shifted to the doorstep of political aggressors if “there is to be a real deterrent to war.” Therefore, he thinks that our great strength should be funneled tothe west- ernarea of Europe in order to “chal- lengethe enemy where he would trans- gress.” The General, who led our ground forcea..in France, concludes that. the “solffary armed might” of this country “is litt better than unarmed isolation” and thatZhe pact unites the free nations whose and frontiers might be- imperiled one and Ordered West, | Oa aaa * WOULD USE ATOMIC BOMB —_— The President ofthe United States declares that he will not hesitate to use the atomic bomb again if the welfare of the United States and the democracies of the world is at stake.

The United States and its allies, in the recent world war, did nof hesitate to drop thous- ands of bombs upon the German cities for the purpose of carrying out what the military experts ealt the “strategic mis- sion” of destroying production and trans- portation facilities, *« Jt map be explained, however, that the Gertidp Luftwaffe adopted the mass bombing technique and applied it ruth- lessly in theearly days of the war and it was not surprising that the allies, when they dequired superior strength, gave the Germans a dose of their own medicine. Of course, there is a moral problem involved in’ the determination to use a bomb im places, where everybody knows men, women and ‘children will be killed. The same question arises in connection with the atomic bomb, although greatly intensified.
