Baptist Ministe~ Attacks wy Today’ SI Dog | CONGREGATION | TO OPPOSE | TRACK AT POLLS [ REV. LINK SAYS A campaign to enlist the entire membership of the First Baptist Church youth against the proposed Stock Island dog track has been unanimously approved by con- Sregation members, the Rev. Har- old H. Link, pastor, said today. Link gave a fiery address op- | posing the track at a special meet- ing of the Key West Ministerial association yesterday morning held at the Old Stone Methodist Church. He said in part: “In order for dog track gam- bling to be right, it must harmon- ize with God. If it is right then it has fellowship with God. If God disfellowships it, it is wrong. If it is wrong, that settles the whole question with me, the whole of it. “I say that today the dog track interests are mainly in the hands of a very few monetary corpor- ations. They have the entire finan- cial resources of the whole system, Tesources that go beyond the funds of local government. It being so easy to organize, that entire cen- | tralization of incalculable power | can be brought to bear upon any local legislature or upon any in- dividual who attempts to fight the business which puts a thousand to one in every issue. You know this to be true. Rev. Link continued: “This is what demoralizes leg- islation. This is what nullifies jud- icial decision. This is what puts a padlock on the lips of the politician nd makes him turn pale at this threat, ‘If you vote against or make a stand against dog track racing you need never run for an office again while you live.’ and he knows it is true.” “I say it is framing a mischief by law.

FLORIDA | By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (®—How to keep the greatly expanded industrial machine busy—with jobs for all— is wrinkling official brows now as | well as those in industry. Commerce Secretary Sawyer tells businessmen that once the re- arming peak is passed, they must put as much thought into the prob- lems of marketing their goods as they have been into producing them. The problem: Industry can turn out more goods (once it quits mak- | ing arms) than consumers seem willing to buy, at present prices. Loss of government money for defense work, therefore could mean that men and machines would be idle. And +the feared slump would be here. Robert C. Turner, new mem- ber of the President’s Council of | Economie Advisors, startles some businessmen by warning that the levelling off of defense spending— on which their prosperity is built | in large part—may be at hand— much sooner than most of them had expected. This isn’t as frightening as it might seem. Turner says that spending is levelling off at better than four billion dollars a month, or around 49 billion a year. And is likely to hold at that through next year. Actually the spending on the hard goods of war will continue to expand up to next summer at least. That will be offset, Turner says, by a downturn in spending on soft goods (like uniforms) al- ready under way, and the levelling off of spending for housekeeping and maintenance of military in- stallations and the armed forces. In other words, industries like aircraft making, automotive; elec- tronics, chemicals, and shipbuild- ing will continue to flourish on government money for months to come. This is what acting Defense Mo- bilizer Steelman meant last week in reporting to President Truman that deliveries of military hard goods would reach their peak in mid-1953. Sawyer’s lecture on the need to improve the methods of distribu tion of civilian goods is aimed at the moment at the other indus tries who won't be getting military orders in volume. But over the long term, it will apply to all. Sawyer warns that “military production goals are be- ing approached,” adding that when “our tremendous industrial ma- chine turns again mainly to pro- ducing goods for non-defense pui- poses we will obviously face many problems.” Distribution is what happens to goods after they're made. It in- cludes all the expense of trans- portation, wholesaling, retailing and advertising—everything _ in- volved in finding a final buyer for a product. The Department of Commerce is surveying the problem of ‘‘po- tential markets for goods and serv- ices” to keep the nation’s swelling industrial plant operating after de. fense needs are met. The report is planned for the first of the year. Sawyer is also reported planning to set up a new office of distribu tion within the Department of Com- merce. In time it might take over much of the work now done by the National Production Authority The job of the new office would be to do for all business what some big manufacturers and trade asso ciations do in furnishing for their members data on market oppor tunities and on lowering distribu tion costs. In the last 20 years industr have done quite a bit for the selves in shaving distribution costs and improving sales methods Sawyer has reasuring words however, for those who fear a se- People’s Forum reeccoccceesoveveseoseccs | The Citizen wetcomes expres- sions of the views of its rend- ers, but the editor reserves the | right to delete any ttems which are considered libelous or anwar- | ranted.

With the installation of parking meters, it would soon pay back the cost. It would help business placer and besides accommodating shoppers.
