Pege 8 ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, September 30, 1952 PRESIDENTIAL RACE | By Jacw Beiz WEW YORE © — Gen. Owight D. Eisenhower swings ‘he political | @ the Communism issue today on the basis of Gen Walter Bedell Smith's assumption that the Reds have econ every U. 8. security agen Before a eee takeoff for Colum- bia, 8. C., the Republican presi. dential speech aimed Democrats on the defensive on the “ommunist question. For his text, the general took the testimony of Smith, an old comrade in arms, in Washington yesterday that Smith assumes Communists have infiltrated even the Central Intelligence Agency, which he heads. Testifying on a deposition in the two-million-dollar libel suit of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) against Sen. William Benton (D- Conn), Smith said he believed the Communists were ‘so adroit and adept they have infiltrated every security agency of the govern- ment.” “Ye said he had not found any in the CIA, and would have rooted them out if he had, but believes there are some operating, possibly even on his own staff. Arthur Summerfield, Republican national chairman, statement demonstrated that the “national safety has been endan- gered” by what he called ‘‘loose- ness” in Washington security meas- ures. Eisenhower planned to develop this Republican reaction in his Columbia speech late today. The Democratic presidential nom- fnee, Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, has needled Eisenhower subtly to make public a statement of his financial affairs—an account- ing that James A. Hagerty, the general's press representative, said would be given “‘later on” in the campaign. The Eisenhower camp, pushed at throwing the | into the defensive over the week | Rominee worked op al said Smith's | ower’s swo eharges af biunders ; by te Truman edministration in the field of foreign policy. The President, speaking from tbe rear platform sf his campaign train special voiced praise of Rep. | Mike Mansfield, Democratle candi- date for the Senate against Sen. Ecton (R-Mont} and Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stev- enson for having known “that communism was dangerous and jthat we had to take measures to stop it.” Truman said Eisenhower didn’t haves such “wisdom & foresight.” | After the war, while he was | still commanding general of our, ‘forces in Europe,” the President | continued, “he said he saw no | }reason why Russia and the United | States would not remain the clos- | | est possible friends.” Truman quoted Eisenhower as having told a congressional com- mittee in November of 1945: “There is no one thing that guides the policy of Russia more today than to keep friendship with the United States.” Truman then went on to say of his own former Army chief of staff: “His foresight was not nearly as good as his hindsight. “Of course, we can all make mistakes, but the Republican can- didate was the commanding gen- eral in Europe and was in close contact with the Russians. His ad- \vice carried great weight and it therefore did a great deal of ‘ harm.” It is true, the President con- |tinued, that ‘we were all trying immediately after the war to find a means for living with the Rus- sians on a peaceful basis.” | “1 don’t blame the Republican candidate for his part in that,” ! Truman added, ‘but he ought to be honest: enough to admit his blund- ers about the Russians. “TI get tired of all the Republican speeches and all their propaganda saying that the Republican party end by Stevenson's action in bar- ing his income tax returns for the last 10 years, greeted the Smith testimony as a major campaign break. Eisenhower's advisers feel that the Democrats are particularly vulnerable on the Communist issue In an effort to appeal to the women’s vote on this subject, the Republican Netional Committee ar- | ranged to have former Rep. Clare Boothe Luce of Connecticut speak on it on a national radio-television broadcast tonight. These developments gave Eisen- hower «a topical sendoff for an 8,000-mile campaign tour opening today at Columbia. Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina will introduce the general. Byrnes, a lifelong Democrat and holder of high offices at the hands of the party, has announced he will vote for Eisenhower. Development of the Communist issue could push into the back- ground in Eisenhower’s Columbia | speech the touchy civil rights issue on which Byrnes left the national party by saying he would not sup- port Stevenson. After his one-shot invasion of Dixie at Columbia, Eisenhower planned to fly to Cleveland tonight to join his campaign train for some rest before he begins an arduous whistle-stopping foray with an early morning speech at Bay City, Mich. Possibly in anticipation of this intensive campaigning, the general spent an hour and +a half here last night talking with Gov, Thomas E. Dewey of New York Dewey, a native of Michigan, said they talked only about how to bring New York into the Re- publican column on Nov. 4 But all of the politicians who professed to accept that at face value figuratively were standing on their heads at the time. Dewey has been in the back ground of this GOP campaign, but | he has covered the country twice in bids for the presidency. There was evidence that Eisenhower's ad visers hoped to profit by the Dewey mistakes in 1944 and 1948. On his westward travels, Eisen hower’s staff was expected to pay particular attention to what Pres ident Truman has to say on a current whistle-stopping tour. In the general's camp, Truman is looked upon the Democrats broad axe wielder of the cam- paign. By ERNEST B. VACCARO ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN «P— President Truman accused Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower today aaving endangered the country as commanding general in Europe by “blunders” which left Amer. as atave ica unaware of Russia's threat to world peace. He said Eisenhower's advice that he saw no reason why Russie and re the United States would not main “the closest possible frien carried © great weight” anc great deal of harm.” Uf Eisenhower had given “better advice in 1945," Truman contin ued, “we would much trouble, in waking country to the danger of € nist (mperialism in 1946 and 197 end 1948." Truman chose a whistle stop speech at Havre, Mont, to launch the latest of increasingly Sitter attacks on the Repu! an presi- dential nominee im reply to Bisen da has been out in front against the idanger of communism. It simply | isn’t so.” a! Truman said that Mansfield, as ;a member of the United States | delegation to the United Nations, “stood right up to the Russian Vishinsky (foreign minister) and slugged it out with him and beat down a Russian attack on the for- eign policy of the United States” | in a debate that ‘won respect for |Mike Mansfield throughout the | world.” | Back in 1945 and 1946, Truman | said, Gov. Stevenson, on important | m ons to Europe, “saw what the Communists were up to, worked mightily for international cooper- ation” and was ‘one of the first jto warn that the Russians were | becoming a threat to Europe.” The Republicans, the President “haven't had a_ single | constructive idea about foreign poli since Sen. Vandenberg died.” He referred to the late | Michigan Senator, who.is regarded as the architect of the bi-partisan foreign policy. asserted, Eisenhower barrage into Montana ;the general should be sent “back to the Army where he belongs.”” The goal in his current 8,500-mile coast-to-coast tour shaped up as his glamour by picturing him as the dupe of an “unholy crew” of campaign advisers And he accused GOP vice pres: ident nominee Richard M. Nixon of having a voting record ‘against everything that is good for the people. But Truman's assault on the Re- publicans at Havre overshadowed other attacks made to campaign crowds comparable in size and en- ; thusiasm to those he spoke to in |his 1948 campaign for a White } House term in his own right He accused the dlicans of trving to make po apital out of the ng in He is co ved into Korea 0 to s Red in. vasion : the sak our own to presei freedom in th We y we could not wait while t spread and ack dragged war—a ic this t on eo ca New Courses Set For Night Classes Mr. E of Key West H the ope f two the Ever world into a wt h would be atom- vith the bombs falling Monday from 7 es fro Thursday eveni DOUGLASS SCHOOL IS BEAUTIFUL By Barbare Lennon As I sit here in the library of “Dear Old Douglass” J keep say- ing to myself, and 1 know that many are joining me in the idea that our school is beautiful and beautiful ls the way we're going to strive to keep it.

The lawn was green and beautiful. There were hardly any papers on it and everyone was just as happy as could be. Then, I look- ed into the faces of the students. Their expressions seemed to say: We’re going to keep our school this way always because it shows the spending of quite a bit of money and labor.” On the left of the school facing Petronia Street, a building is being constructed. I didn’t know exactly what its purpose was. I soon found that it is to be a lunchroom. This is really a necessity. tude and appreciation to Superin- tendent Horace O’Bryant and the | splendid things they have done and are continuing to do for us. We can really say that they are truly in- terested in making the schools of Key West the best in Florida. So | again, we thank Mr. O’Bryant and | the Members of the Board. We wish to welcome our principal and teachers old and new and to thank them for their guidance and good teaching. Professor Allen is doing much to steer Douglass on the road to progress. We do appre- ciate everything he’s doing to help us. SPORT NEWS By John Saunders The Douglass High School “Tigers” are preparing for their | first game of the season. Thursday, September 18, the “Tigers” held a in which the Whites won 18-0. The game was highlighted by the play of Charles Clarke, Samuel Hannibal and Donald Carey, who sparked the |“Whites” backfield offensively. | Raymond Manuel and Kernell Al- | bury were stellar on defense. While | on the “Green” side of the fence it was a different story, the team composed mostly of the first string line seemed somewhat off par. The line play of Kenneth Carey, Willis Knowles and Rufus Rolle was in evidence only in some instances. The lone bright spots in the “Green’s” backfield were made by | Alfred Saunders and Rufus Rolle smash for occasional gains. The | team as a whole seems to be in jdetermined to have a_ successful | season. SCHEDJLE Sept. 26, 1952, West Palm Beach. Oct. 3, 1952, Open Date. Oct. 10, 1952, Carver High (Del- ray).

Victor Hartman West Palm Beach,. Fla. “Had Enjoyable Evenings At Miami Deg Tracks” Editor, The Citizen: In regards the current battle wag- ing over the proposed dog-track I would like to have my say. I consider myself a church-going woman, educated and respectable with a normal, healthy family yet I have attended the dog rages in Miami a number of times. I saw no evil nor considered my few dollars spent there wasted. Rather they went for a very enjoyable evening spent among clean, beauti- fully landscaped surroundings, a stirring band, interesting pagentry and the company of friendly and courteous people. All of which is more than one can find at the present time in Key West for an evening’s entertain- ment, How can anyone know if they like They don’t have to wait for a dog- track to open. There are plenty of ways to gamble in Key West right now. Now for the merchants of the city. Everytime a new project is mentioned in Key West they are up in arms howling about the mon- | ey they will lose. They are making too much now with their higher prices than anywhere else. They want their cake and eat it to. Tour. | ists are supposed to come here and spend but only in Key West | stores. No stranger is to start any- thing new it might take some of the local merchants 200 per-cent profit. They want the city to grow and progress but are always throw- ing out the old rusty anchor of “keep the money for local people,” to hold us back. Personally, I'd much rather see a clean, glick racing dog chase a stuffed bunny than have to watch the local race of dirty, drunken men chasing the B-girls stuffed with liquor, or the well stuffed bus- inessman chasing the lean, sleek dollar.

Lam not a Navy wife, nor a tourist but an adopted Conch mar- ried to a Key Wester). “THE DOG TRACK AND YOUR POCKETBOOK” Editor, The Citizen: Mr. Aronovitz says that there will be winners at the Dog Track. And this makes the pub- lished figures on the “take” wrong. Anyone who has ever been at a race track has seen the odds go down on a favorite until the win- ner gets back less than he has bet. You can break the bank on any other gambling game if not a thing without first trying it? If the people of Key West find the dog- track to be obnoxious in the future it can be closed down. This way no one loses but the owners of the track. The city stands to gain whether we get the track and keep it or get the track and lose it. If the ministers of Key West want to crusade against evil why don’t they take a walk on lower Duval street any evening of the week and see the filthy “girly” shows which cater to the lowest instincts of men, much_ much lower than any gamb- ling could be. See the drunken B-girls and sail- ors staggering up the street, see the “winos” lying in the gutter stup- ified or else begging the passerbys for a quarter for another drink, or best of all why don’t they get to- gether and try to close places like the famous or infamous Tea Room on Stock Island an evil openly flaunted and joked about. Why don’t they take a worth- while platform to stand on and campaign for better streets, better police force, better bandshell in the park and more recreation for the youngsters. They could give that $76.28 they have to some poor fam- ily where it would do more good than to spend it fighting a dog- track.

Bookies only flourished in Florida because the break was better for the bettor. St. Petersburg, home of the oldest dog track, can boast of a town that is full of retired peo- ple on pensions, they also have 35¢ hair cuts, the barbers should think this one over. It is theoretically possible to get rid of a Dog Track if it is not desirable. Practically if you take a petition to any merchant for signature he will tell you that he may favor your proposal but has customers that he fears he may lose if he takes any pub- lic side in a controversy. What can more tourists bring us this winter but less water in our homes, and a Dog Track operating at night will burn a lot of electricity from our new power plant, which will at capacity without this load.

Silver- berg, well-known psychiatrist. The much-discussed “battle of the sexes” begins before the age | of 6, says Dr. Silverberg in his new book, “Childhood Experience and Personal Destiny.” | battle, from the cradle to the grave, and though the period of | courtship and early marriage may | bring about a temporary truce, don’t kid yourself, says Dr. Silver- berg. It’s only temporary. As boy and girl progress through | high school and college, the battle lines are more firmly drawn, with the banding of the rivals in groups of their own sex—gangs, clubs, | fraternities and sororities. The doctor, who speaks from 30 years of psychiatric ¢ :perince, warns women to beware of the | excessively chivalrous man — the one who is always first to open a door, hold a coat or light a cigarette for a woman. His ex- planation: “There is always a certain con- descension in such gentlemanly be- havior, as if the man were making allowances for the intrinsic infer- iority of the female.” Some women go through life fuming impotently at this age-old strife. But women are learning how to get the best of the deal in the long run, in the opinion of a rep- resentative of the modern school of feminine thought—Audrey Tot- ter, Hollywood star and leading lady of the CBS radio comedy series ‘‘Meet Millie.” Says Audrey: Men and women are born to | smart. They’ve caught on to all | the men’s tricks and they sill let them go right oa playing boss, if it makes them happy.” | Audrey feels, in fact, that the gal who has her wits about her can let the boys keep on setting the rules—‘‘at least until those rules interfere with her own plans, | Then she can quickly and quietly | maneuver him into second place without his ever noticing the switch.” The smart woman, contends Audrey, pretends to be dumb, thus buttering up the male ego and | keeping life on a pleasantly even keel. After all, she points out, we can’t very well get along without the guys, so the wisest course is | to put up with them as they are. } One thing is certain—they aren't | going to change. Since every girl still seems to want one of these male specimens for her very own, says Audrey, she has to be smart to (A) get {him in the first place and (B) keep him in a comparatively do- cile state thereafter. For husband- hunting girls she has this advice: “Never let up for an instant, and use every trick in the book— you'll need them. As mama says, you've got to follow through. Too many girls get the guy right Into the frying pan and then turn off the gas.
