Nixon’s temporizing, in trying to smooth over his guilt, has been pitiable. He calls the disclosure a “smear” because he has been fighting communism in Washington. Then he declared “others have been doing it,” and a com- mentator asked, “Did that justify him in doing it?” As| we will say that because one man commits a crime it justi- | fies another to commit a crime. Just as pitiable as Nixon’s temporizing is that of some Visiting VIP Chats At Ft. iFreak Blaze Sux. ‘Demolishes Car | A freak blaze demolished the 19- 46 Oldsmobile sedan of Alfred Franklin Kline, 56, of Miami Sun-| jday at 5 a. m., two miles north} {of Marathon, State Highway Pa- |trolman S.

Considering that she is pneumo- nia-bait every time she washes her hair during the show, that’s quite a record. I asked her how she liked seeing the country city by city. “God is testing me,” she says. “There’s no one who hates travel more than I. I love visiting the various cities and meeting the peo- ple but I detest the constant pack- |ing and un-packing.” She used to travel by train but |now makes it by car. “Believe me, I know every fill- ling station restroom in the na- tion.” | Rodgers and Hammerstein tell |her she can stay with the show | for ten years. They expect it to tour that long. The road company | makes millions more than the Broadway version, often playing auditoriums filled with 5,000 peo- Janet doesn’t think she will to himself. “I'll draw a relief check anyway.” Civie projects are handled the same way. As a people, we are getting to be a spineless bunch of parasites. We're living on the generations be- fore us who had the courage and foresight to get out and earn what they needed. These previous gene- rations and the ones to come after us will have to pay for our beggar- ly attitude today. Fifty years ago when Key West wanted a fire department, the en- tire town worked to get it. Those who were able donated money— has the solution to the country’s problems. I'm only mentioning this be« cause, over the years, I’ve found that my reaction is pretty much the same as the average common man. If so, there is a good chance that the election forecasts are just so much wishful thinking—that the United States voter hasn’t really decided yet who he is going to vote for and the outcome depends pretty much on the speeches of the next few weeks. Eisenhower appears to be a fine man but his military background isn’t encouraging. Stevenson has others donated their time. Today when we want something, we start looking up government regulations to see if it isn’t possible to stick the residents of Seattle or Los An- geles with the major portion of the expense for an improvement in Key West. The condition exists all over the nation—not just in Key West. Most of the citizens don’t realize they are being played for a sucker and that the people who profit most e the ones who spend all their waking moments trying to figure new ways of getting something for nothing. In Louisiana, for instance, one of Huey Long’s biggest brags con- cerned the highway system he in- stalled. When politicians pat them- selves on the back like that, it is a good idea to look further into the} picture and see just who the new RUGS CLEANED an excellent record but I wouldn't want to see him in office if it meant the chiselers and grafters of the last decade would still have a chance to give orders. The next few weeks will tell the story.

Land measu of the newspapers that are or were supporting him. As far as one Florida Republican newspaper would go, in AND Te st commenting on Nixon’s secretly accepting the money from friends, was to say it was an “unwise practice.’ But political adherence does not throttle the right- } eusness of many a newspaper publisher, whether he is a| Democrat or a Republican. The New York Herald-Tribune and the Washington Post, both supporting the Eisenhower ticket, have called on Nixon to withdraw from the race. The New York Times, also supporting Eisenhower, said the Republican paity must decide immediately if Nixon’s usefulness as a vice presidential candidate has been “fa- tally impaired.” Meanwhile, Eisenhower, Taft and other Republican | bigwigs have expressed their confidence in Nixon’s hon- esty and seemingly assuming that their “confidence” is sufficient to convince the American people that Nixon’s | secretly receiving $16,000 from California “friends”, in his senatorial capacity, was an “error in judgment”, or | some other slip-up. The only way a public office can be a public trust is for the holder of the office to take the people into his con- | fidence. If he bleats to the people about the great things | he is doing for them and, surreptiously, deals question- ably with a small group, the office no longer is a public | trust.
