Consolidation of County and City Governments. & Community Auditorium, KAI-SHEK’S INVASION Both Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and hig son have announced to the world, in recent speeches, that an end to Communist enslavement in China was near at hand. Kai-shek, in his first speech since President Eisenhower lifted the restriction on the Seventh Fleet against attacks on the Chinese mainland, said: The moment of our counter-attack is drawing nearer «+»-Hundreds of millions of our compatriots are suffering from oppression at the hands of Russian puppets and are eagerly looking to us to deliver them... .” The statements by Generalissimo Chiang and his son are, perhaps, part of a war of nerves being waged against the Chinese Communists at present. It could be that a Na- tionalist attack on the South China coast, if it came at a time when the Chinese Communists were occupied with most of their troops elsewhere, could succeed to a consid- erable extent. However, at this early stage of the deneu- tralization period, it is doubtful whether Kai-shek has the forces or the equipment to launch a major permanent at- tack on the Chinese coast. Whether he does or not actually makes little differ-! ence if he can bluff the Communists into stationing strong forces opposite Formosa, from which the Nationalist at- tack would originate. In the meantime, the Chinese Navy, which is being built up with United States aid, can threat- en Chinese Communist shipping and carry on whatever sort of naval blockade its forces are able to maintain. The invasion of China is no small undertaking and will require a strong fifth column in China and long pre- parations if it is to succeed. Graciousness is a virtue many weakness. people mistake for Every community should enjoy the benefits of an annual chautauaua. Labor is organized while the farmers are not; that is why the farmers find themselves with little political pow- er. No amount of ridicule, boasting or bluff changes the facts. Get them, and you will understand the “ews of the day, and gain a clear picture of events. SLIC NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO MANUEL I. RODRIGUEZ Para los que gozamos con los triunfos agenos, es motivo de in- tensa alegria, el saber que a un hombre joven, de grandes méri- tos y caballeroso, se le premia con un puesto, desde el cual demos- trara su capacidad y su acrisolada honradéz. # Nos referimos a Manuel Isidro Rodriguez, ese noble muchachén, que acaba de ser nombrado para un importante cargo en la Oficina de nuestro querido amigo John Spottswood, Sheriff del Condado de Monroe, Los que desde muchos afios co- nocemos a Rodriguez, hemos de Teconocer en sus gestiones y en su vida privada, grandes virtudes. Este “conco,” que se honra con serlo, bien se ha ganado la esti- macion de sus paisanos y amigos. Fué un magnifico estudiante, en sus dias escolares. Despues y du- rante algunos afios, actué en las oficinas locales de 1a Florida Greyhound Line. Cuando esta po- derosa compafia quiso establecer una oficina en La Habana, entre todos sus empleados, supo elegir al mejor y Rodriguez, pasé la Ca- pital de la Republica y alli laboré intensamente, consiguiendo mag- hificas ventajas para la empresa que representaba y haciéndose de un grupo de amigos, que lamen- tan su salida de esa Ciudad, pero omprenden que la voz de la casi siempre imperiosa y defi a y que fué esa voz, la que nos trajo nuevamente al Cayo al querido amigo. Aqui, en el seno del hogar, junto a los suyos, es como se siente bien este hombre joven, que traté siempre de superarse. Es aqui, donde siente Rodriguez, que la fe- licidad le acaricia y aqui en el Cayo quiere vivir y morir, ya que aqui nacié y sus grandes afectos todos, surgieron tambien en el Ca- yo. Desempefié mas tarde, un pues- to en el Banco local. Donde quiera que estuvo prestando servicios, se supo ganar la consideracién y el respeto de sus superiores, por su asiduidad en el trabajo y por su deseo de ser uno de los primeros en el cumplimiento del deber. Abora esta junto a otro hombre joven, muy estimado por la so ciedad del Cayo y en esa Oficina, como en todas, el amable Rodri- guez, se gangré la més alta con- sideracién de su Jefe, porque es hombre consciente de las res- ibilidgdes que traen apare- aoe los Cargos que se desem- pefig. catcher bastante bueno y era co- sa dificil estafarié la segunda ibase. Acaso si su cortedad en la vision, fe hizo abandonar ese de porte, donde siempre triunfé. | Ahora. cada ver que la occasion se le muestra propicia, va a pre senciar los juegos de baseball y |todo, con una honestidad a toda | prueba. Hombres como Rodriguez van siendo falta en todas partes. La idea del dinero facil, de la linea | del menor esfuerzo, se ha ido generalizando, al extremo, de que muchos hombres utiles, bien preparados, prefieren otra clase de trabajo, que tenga pocas obli- gaciones, que no fatigue mucho y que se obtengan pingues utili- dades, aunque para ello, haya que ponerse, en ocasiones, al) margen de las leyes vigentes. Nosotros, que sentimos jubiloj cuando sabemos que algin ami- go, por sus propios méritos, al- canza un triunfo, hemos querido dedicarle a Manuel Isidro Rodri- guez, nuestro trabajo de hoy, co- mo un homenaje a su hombria. de bien y a su capacidad como ciudadano consciente de sus de- beres. Muchos ignoran que Isidro Ro- driguez, tiene por primer nombre, el de Manuel. Por eso, cuando leimos de su nombramiento para las oficinas del Sheriff, pensa- mos si se trataria del amigo, a quien admiramos. Despues, nos enteramos que se trataba del mismo ciudadano y fué entonces que nos alegramos de tan buena noticia. Hay aqui en el Cayo multitud de hombres jovenes, capaces de alcanzar posiciones semejantes. Pero, desgraciadamente, en mu-| chos casos, la apatia, la indolen- | cia, producida tal vez por la/ quietud de este ambiente, les ha- ce dejar atras todo deseo de s jperacion y se conforman pasiv: mente, con no ser nada, en una sociedad donde por sus méritos y su capacidad, pudieran y debieran alcanzar puestos de importancia Ello es verdaderamente sensi- | ble. Es hermoso ver a los jéve-| hes superarse, luchar denodada-! ' | i ' jarros, WOKR Se mente por alcanzar triunfos en su vida, que le aseguren un por- venir a ellos y sus familias, sin fatigas, bras, que les impiden tomar los rumbos, tras los cuales, habrian de encontrar la poca ventura que es dable disfrutar a los hombres en este- mdndo. El caso de Manuel Isidro Ro- drigdez, debiera de servir de saludable ejemplo a muchos de sus amigos. Con perseverancia, deseos de triunfar y con el natu- ral optimismo que debe de acom-| pafar siempre a la juventud, po- cas veces se frarasa. Y aunque haya que caminar sobre gui- al final, se encuentra siempre la senda florecida, donde el hombre normaliza su vida y la de la familia que creé, haciendo de su vida un oasis sereno, que ofrece paz al cuerpo y orea el espiritu. Somos parcos en el elogio. pero en este caso, pecariamos de in- justos, si dejaramos de expresar lo que sentimos, Ademas, nada anima tanto al hombre joven, cuando lucha por la vida, como saber que se le reconocen sus virtudes. Es a manera de un estimulo, que nunca debemos re- |gatear a los que lo merecen’, co- mo una voz en el camino, les ayude a triunfar. que Por eso dédicamos en este dia | nuestro modesto trabajo, al queri- do amigo Manuel Isidro Rodri- guez.

Two awards for conduct under fire have been received by John Menendez, USNR, son of M Angela Menendez, who resides’ ai First and Flagler avenues. Assuming that Mayor Wil- lard M. Albury is appointed to Melvin E. Russell as superin- tendent of public instruction, the likelihood is that as many candidates as half a dozen will be in the field for mayor at the election next November.

HAL BOYLE SAYS NEW YORK —Would you like to receive a movie-of-the-month, mass produced so cheaply you could show it in your home once and then throw it dewn the incin- erator? ‘ This is just one of the dreams in the busy head of Sherman Mills Fairchild, one of the most agile minds of our generation. a “We haven't scratched the sur- face in the search for an easier, F better, fuller life,” said Fairchild. “The big problem is to overcome people’s inertia against change.” Fairchild is all for change. He jhas built a fabulous, multi-million- dollar career on one word: “Why?” He was born with a silver spoon ‘in his mouth—and a golden ques- tion mark. When he was ‘a teen-ager, his wealthy parents presented him {with —a-$10,000 locomotive, Instead of wrapping it around a tree or succeed Lieutenant Commander the session of the legislature. | least two | taking high school girls out for a spin, Sherman drove the car into a garage and began taking it apart \to see what made it work. Since then Fairchild invested or |pioneered in the development of | |the aerial camera, the modern! jcabin airplane, cargo aircraft, the | first folding wing airplane, the au- | tomatic newspaper engraving plant recording equipment, and the} atomic engine. . Today he heads four big firms, holds directorships in four more, and is active’in exploiting products in half a dozen fields. A‘big handsome man of 56, he looks like a youthful 40, dresses carelessly, enjoys a 14-hour work: day. He reads 75 technical journals a month to keep informed. “I've tried canned fun—things | like vacations’ afd: fishing trips | that are supposed to relax you—j but they don’t do that for me,” he said. “My biggest pleasure is |to take a new problem, and put {knobs on it.” | By that he means to solve it. |His endless inventive curiosity is | reflected in his home—it has ramps | A Letter From load Neighbor: | Last week the House of Repre- sentatives, by a vote of 291 to 85, passed and sent to the Senate a resolution approving the Pre- | sident’s proposal to create a new department of Health, Education and Welfare. It was officially iknown as Reorganization Plan \No. 1 This Reorganization Plan, sub- mitted to the Congress by Pre- sident Eisenhower, is substantial- ly the same as Reorganization Plan No. 27, which’ was submit- ted to the Congfess in 1950 by ;President Truman and rejected by the House by a vote of 249 to 71. This fact was brought out through out the hearings and in the printed record. }) As your Congressman . inter- ‘prets the mandate of the people of this country in the national election of last November, they }voted to cut down the cost of an expanding Federal Government.
