In many cases, these attacks are warranted and in some cases they are not. Naturally, in an election year, more of the attacks are unwarranted and stem from political purposes than in other years. Few people realize the great burden these purely political attacks create in many governmental depart- ments. For instance, when a writer recently wrote a long article painting Dean Acheson as a leftiest, the State | Department was compelled to prepare a document 27 | pages in length, legal-size, to refute some of the charges in the article. To answer some of the charges against Mr. Acheson, | State Department personnel weere forced into great ef- | fort and had to round up as many as 12 witnesses, who attended a meeting, to refute the charge made about the meeting. j The sad part about all of this is that the charge, when made.in a magazine article, is commercially \read- ble and widely accepted by many citizens. When the ‘State Department’s rather dry refutation, 27 pages long, is released sometime afterward, few people ever ‘hear of it. This situation holds true in most charges and replies and is not confined to charges in the article mentioned above. Nevertheless, it is timely at the moment to cau- tion readers that charges are easily made and that charges pertaining to high officials in government should not be accepted completely until the reply to those charges is also taken into consideration. In this year of elections—city, county, state and na- tional, a number of charges will be made for political purposes only and the caliber of this country’s future gov- ernment will depend directly on the ability of the elec- torate to weed out the truth from among the many charges and counter-charges. your Tolerance, it seems, is the art of not believing in Bind, whatever it may be.

At last Sunday’s races, a com- plaint was registered and some- how it got into the newspaper as jan actual fact, that the charter boat “Lucky Strike’ had caused an accident by crossing the race jcourse. The wake of the boat was suppose to have swamped John McKillip, Jr. There are no facts to support any definite claim, Everything can cn- ly revert to opinion and personally, I’m inclined to think that it possi- bly could have been poor boatman- ship on the part of the racer that caused the accident. The “Lucky Strike” leaves less wake than most of the boats in Garrison Bight, experts tell me. Moreover, witnesses say that she came in at slow speed and the ra- cers were traveling in the oppo- site direction. The fact that she crossed the course at all seems to | irritate members of the outboard | club. Let’s examine the situation }and then you decide what you | would do. | Operating a charter boat is a commercial proposition. It means | bread in the boat-owner’s mouth A home for his family. He gets | fifty dollars per day for the use of. his boat and he also contracts to get his party back safely and on schedule. That last word ‘‘sche- \dule” is important. If the fishing | party has an appointment or ex- | pects to leave for Miami at a cer- | tain,time in the evening, they don’t want to lie around outside the | Bight for a couple of hours waiting | while racers block off the main channel. Don’t let my words mislead you |I'm not against outboard racing. | The outboard racers always se- | lect a site that lies across the main ; | channel. There. is room in Garri-| ‘son Bight to move the buoys back from the ehannel and still have a good racing course. Why they in- sist on the present staked site is a puzzle to everyone connected with the problem that it creates -- unless of course they simple wish ‘to disregard the rights of other | boats. Another Complaint | For several years, outboard mo- torboats have created a hazard in | Garrison Bight by racing up and) down with no regard for the dam- age they might do boats at dock -- | or to the people who might be clim- | ing off the stern of these boats on- | to the various docks. | | The outboards race down the main channel toward the gas sta- | tion and the wake they create is ; twice as bad as any large charter boat. Moreover, if they lose control | of their boat, they have an excel- | lent chance of smashing into a ten, or twelve thousand dollar charter | boat and sinking it as well as kill- ing its occupants. Their own loss | in such an accident would only amount to a couple of hundred dol- lars and unless they are financial- | ly capable of repaying damages | they cause, they have no reason | to fear a law-suit should an acci- | dent occur. It is about the same situation that one encounters on the highway | where reckless, ‘harum-scarum’ | drivers too often run wild. Espec- ially in old wrecks of cars. | My suggestion is that the out- | board racers move their course out of the main channel and that | the charter boats make sure that they do their utmost to cooperate | | with the racers by reducing speed. HAL BOYLE By HAL: BOYLE | NEW YORK (—Ladies, there are storm signals in the news hint ing that everything is rising in | value today except wives. | Are wives over - inflated? Should they be put under controls? These issues have been raised by two |recent items of interest to every thoughtful women, and by that, of | course, I mean every woman 1. — A British judge, granting a divorce to a husband whose wife ran off with another man, cut the husband's-claim for damages from $700 to $210, and said “Her value to her husband was diminishing from year to year be- | cause of disagreements.” 2. — Dr. Samuel W. Stevenson, a Virginia professor, describing women as “the arch foe,” called for a new St. George to emancipate American men and give them four new freedoms, to wit: “Freedom from nagging, free- dom from backseat driving. free {dom to relax in old clothes after a hard day’s work, and freedom from indigestion.” Observing with sad hilarity that | }men no longer deserved the title “mice” as women are afraid of mice, he said “We have become yore It is high time, the good pro- fessor added, that men force the restoration ‘of the ‘obey’ ir wor the marriage ceremo He th men also ought to decide when jthey need a haircut, pick their own clothes anc wife's hats and decide wt are to be kept ur tionary the idea and has cor a rec { at least 60 per cent accur The average wife 1 leap up.

It is an uneasy precedent. ; Husbands might start going into | court, saying: “Judge, I want a divorce, and don’t give me any nonsense about alimony. My old lady and I have had so many disagreements she isn’t worth a plugged nickel, and I hereby give her away free.” | Wives have just the opposite view, They figure the tears they give a man during their best years have a real dollar value to him | “Why, if it weren't for the argu ments I gave my silly husband we'd both have ended up in the poorhcouse three weeks after the honeymoon,” is the way they'd sum it up. And it is certainly true that many a husband does need a wife with a permanent rave to keep him from making bankruptcy a habit. Girls, it might be a good idea to write to the wife of that British judge and tell her to give him a good heart to - heart talk on the facts of married life. | j is to the Medica: Rept t TY ing Center here for 16 we basic training.

DISLIKES “NOISE” Editor, The Citizen: A few more words may not be out of place_on the Juke Box Situation. The problem of finding no noise when noise has been reported—at times inconvenient to man or beast—at 4:00 A.M., is the sub ject this time. Unless Key West is full of para- noiacs there must be some reason for the discrepancy between what is claimed and the ar nt ab sence of it. Probably simr secret lies in the day-long, an evening-long, ceaseless (and sense less) repeating of the Juke Box tunes. The songs yélled, pounded and groaned out, continual if a sick animal weve in distress The subject is dismiss S noise. which it is, but the question of volume of sound seems t one considered, as a rule. I have had a chance to be ob jective the last three days, having the open windows of the Place Next Door for a laboratory. The Juke Box is ‘less than fifty fee away. One discovery: (after enor mous, self-willed objectivity, wa exercised) is that the tunes play ed less often, eyen at able volume, are not so They are not entertain sired, nor anything I continue listening to unc cumstances.

Separately, Kanin, a top film director, wrote “Born Yesterday,” which drew a million dollars from the film rights alone.

Kanin especially. “I must say that the business of writing ingrigues me,” he re- marked. “I’ve only written since the war, and that’s the reason I don't direct pictures any more: I'm so much in love with writing. Through the good fortune of being | married to Miss Gordon, I have been able to meet a lot of writers. I always ask them about their habits. “We have become good friends of Thornton Wilder.
