ON FREEDOM OF RELIGION Italian police recently arrested a Church of Christ preacher in the third action against that church in Italy in less than two days. The preacher was interrupted by police while preaching a sermon, and immediately after the sermon was taken away by the officers. An American preacher from Texas, Wyndal Hudson, is the regular preacher in the Leghorn Church where the arrest occurred, although he was not preaching the ser- mon on the day of the police action. However, Americans seeking to preach and practice their religion in Italy in recent years have regularly been subjected to limitations and restrictions by the Italian government. The day before the arrest in Leghorn, Italian police chiseled the name “Church of Christ” from the church’s building in Rome. All these attempts to stifle the Church of Christ in Italy result from the fact that this church has not been given recognition by the Italian government. In Italy Protestant churches must get the recognition of the government as a religious cult, to enjoy freedom to worship and conduct activities as they please. American Protestants, Catholics and Jews, and those of every other faith will agree that freedom of religion, as enjoyed in this country, is one of the foundation stones of the democratic way of life. The spectacle of police in- terference with churches and churchmen is not a pleasant one to the eyes of an American citizen of any faith. Not all dances turn out to be dances. Woe to the more-attractive lady who moves to town. The elections will show whether McCarthy’s tactics are still paying off. Strange as it seems, there are those who wouldn’t turn around to see Marilyn Monroe. Religious tolerance does not require one to abstain from the practice of his own religious beliefs. It’s probably a good thing, after all, that some peo- ple can’t really see themselves as others see them. Helping other human beings, in this battle of life, is just as heroic as waiting for them to fall in order to pick them up. We hope educational TV channels will not be turned over to commercial use; there is a place for educational TV, without commercial propaganda in the field of music, Vocational education and the higher arts, HIATSIPESIANT MMRIAIPT SI EIVIEIRMEPIRIOMBAIL IE(e| AIEIRIOMBAIRIRIOIGIAIN| PIRIEIPIAIRIE MVIE (S/T 1S] eer OIRIEISIVIE|S) 31.

That chap Poland’s Red Leader Takes Party Post WARSAW, Poland #—Boleslaw Bierut, No. 1 Communist leader in Poland since the end of World War Il, has resigned from the premiership to become first secre- tary of the ruling United ‘Polish Workers (Communist) party, it was announced Friday. Vice Premier Josef Cyrankie- wiez, who held the premiership until the government reorganiza- tion in November 1952, was re- stored to his old post as premier. (Western observers in Vienna believed the switch in the Polish leadership was made on Moscow orders as part of a general Krem- fin plan to end the “cult of heroes” that prevailed in the Com- murist world during Stalin’s time, replacing one-man dictatorships with “government by commitee.'’) The changes were the first offi- cial act Thursday of the new Cen- tral Committee just elected by the party at its second postwar con- gress meeting in Warsaw. Aside from these two changes, the par- ty’s powerful Politburo remains virtually the same. The announcement said Bierut resigned from the premiership be- cause he could not hold that post and be party secretary at the same time. He proposed that Cyrankiewicz take his place and the Central Committee concurred. Bierut was president of Poland from the end of World War II until that post was abolished in 1952. He then took over the pre- miership from Cyrankiewicz. In the new regrouping, the post of chairman of the party—held by Bieurt—was abolished, Stefan Ma- tuszewski, chairman of the Polish- Soviet Friendship Society, was dropped from the party Politburo but was made a member of the party’s Revisions Commission. Named as first vice premiers were Hilary Mince and Zenon No- wak, Jacob Berman was named vice premier. Mine resigned from his old job as chairman of the State Commis- sion on Economic Planning. In addition to the first vice premier- ship, he also was elected to the Central Committee's secretariat along with Edward Ochab, Fran- ciszek Mazur and Wladislaw Dwor. akowski. Dworakowski, who had been a vice premier, was removed from the government, Bierut, 64-year-old son of a peas- ant, was brought in to head the government when the Russians liberated the country from the Nazis. He had spent the war years in the Soviet Union. The latest shakeup appeared to have been made on orders of Nikita S, Khrushchev, first secre- tary of the Soviet Union’s Com- munist party Central Committee and one of the top men in Premier Georgi Malenkov’s government, who was present at the Polish party congress last week. Bierut’s change of jobs is simi- lar to the shift last year in Hun- ary, where Communist boss Mat- yas Rakosi stepped down from the premiership to run the country from the back seat as party first Secretary. Rakosi’s premiership was handed to Vice Premier Imre Nagy. Elder Ziegfeld Honored CHICAGO (#—Dr. Florenz Zieg- feld, who organized the Chicago Musical College in 1865 and was the father of the late Flo Ziegfeld of Follies fame, was honored Thurs- day. A marker with his family name was erected on a court 100 feet wide and 76 feet long running north from Van Buren St., between Michigan and Wabash Aves., in the loop. s | This Rock Of Ours By Bill Gibb The City’s new municipal fish- ing pier will have an official open- ing in a few days. Already, how- ever, fishermen have found the site and are flocking down to the docks in large numbers, Congratu- lations are in order for Ivan Rob- erts, Director of Public Service, and the other civic officials who have helped develop this new re- creation spot. Birth Control Every once in awhile a new argument springs up relative to birth control. This is rather puz- zling. Whether you're for or against birth control, we seem to be doing a good job of eliminating the younger population by murder- ing them in motor vehicle acci- dents. Key West was in an uproar last year about polio. Did you know that in the 1 to 14 age group, motor vehicle accidents kill four times as many children as polio? Nearly four thousand children die each year in traffic accidents. This is a far larger number than the deaths caused by such highly publicized diseases as tuberculo- sis, imonia, cancer, leukemia, ete, 't you think it is time that we began to consider this problem seriously? Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if this 1 to 14 age group had any choice in matter of their deaths. However, they are entirely de- pendent upon us adults—they are trusting souls who haven't lived long enough to learn that thought- less, selfish, egotistical murderer often lurks behind the wheel of an automobile. Surprisingly enough, women show little more concern about the safety of children than men. Most adults try to drive care- fully and it is true that many chil- dren are injured or killed unavoid- ably. Unavoidably at the monent of the accident. However, proper training and instruction at home might have saved these children. How often do you sit down with your boy or girl and attempt to teach them safety? Do you ever try to impress them by pointing out the mistakes that are made by other pedestrians, cycle riders, or motorists? It might do some good, you know. Airport Consultant This column is mighty glad to see that reports concerning Mea- cham Field are now being pre- BS Pared by an authority in the avia- tion business—Harold A. Wilde. Wilde knows the problems of Key West and the Florida Keys from personal experience, He en- joys an excellent reputation among 4 ceed aviation authorities. There seems | to be no reason why we cannot Place complete confidence in his recommendations and plans. I'll admit that this placing of confidence is something that I couldn't do wholeheartedly while the County Commissioners were attempting to solve the airport Problem by themselves. Not that every Commissioner wasn’t con- scientious and attempting to do his utmost in the matter. The trouble was that they were up against a technical situation which required an expert with the bacxground of a man like Wilde. Forwarding of the Wilde report to the South Florida Airport Plan- ning and Advisory Committee by Gerald Saunders was also a wise move. Any plan which we eventual- ly evolve must work harmoniously with that of every other commun- ity in South Florida. Studying the traffic growth pat- tern of National Airlines and Aero- vias Q makes it quite apparent that the former company has not kept in step with the times. There is too big a difference between the number of passengers carried hy the two lines. What caused this? Was National too preoccupied with building up its long distance flights to bother about servicing Key West better? In the past year or so, National has gone in for a huge expansion | Program. New ships have heen added to its fleet to service all points North and West of Miami. That Key West has not only been left out of this expansion program but has been deliberately hurt by curtailment of flights would seem to make it apparent that National is adopting a ‘dog in the manger” Policy—they don’t seem to be inter- ested in helping our community to grow through better air trans- portation but at the same time, they desire to hold on to their franchise and thus keep other air- lines out of town. Up until now, this column has maintained a more or less im- partial attitude but it can’t con- tinue to do so when National Air- lines shows nothing but enmity to- ward our elected representatives. British Red May Lose Citizenship LONDON (#—Daily Worker cor- respondent Alan Winnington, one of the two Western newsmen who covered the Korean War from the Communist side. was reported faced with the choice today of coming home or losing his citizen. ship, The Worker, organ of Britain's Communist party, said the British consul in Peiping, China, refused to renew Winningtor.’s passport and confiscated it when he pre- sented it for renewal Thursday. Winnington has been accused by the United States of helping extort a germ warfare “confession” from f U.S. Air Force Col. Walker Ma- hurin of Fort Wayne, Ind., a war prisoner who later was freed. Winnington has denied the charge. Works Days; Steals Nights ORLANDO i» — Three men charged with theft have admitted they worked as carpenters by day and stole tools at night, Detective Lt. J. R. Beach said here. He identified them as Maynard §. Moss, Barry M. Moss and James Eilers of Charleston, W. Va., ac- cused of stealing $3,000 to $5,000 worth of tools in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach and Orlando. ev Chapter 2.

Patricia Medina, a British ac- tress, said the other day that home- | ly men were much more fun on dates than “‘the pretty boys.” She| found they had a better sense of | humor, were more attentive, less conceited and put more effort in| their wooing. | This, of course, is no news to us| homely Joes. We have known it) ever since the first caveman grew a wart on his nose and then, by sheer force of character, turned it into a social and business asset. A man with a wart on his nose | is bound to be remembered—and being remembered is the biggest Problem in getting ahead in this busy world. What is true of a homely man is just as true of a homely girl. She stands out from the crowd, and this gives her a chance to demon- le her for the moment may remain to admire her through the years. A beautiful bachelor girl once asked me, after looking around a roomful of guests at a party: “Why do so many successful men j seem to have such homely wives?” The only tactful reply I could think of was: “Most successful men are prob- ably near-sighted.” But I doubt if she heard me, She was studying herself in a wall mirror, That is the trouble with so many lovely ladies, Being beautiful is a career with them. But no girl makes a full time job of being homely, A homely girl has time to listen to a man tell his dreams, time to help him achieve his dreams, and that is probably why men who are successful so often do have charming homely wives. A woman who has a face she finds herself unable honestly to fall in love with must, if che is normal, express her human love in other ways and other lives—and she generally gets a richer reward, a bigger payoff, in the end. strate what real talent she may have. Those who pause to laugh at She will also probably find that her ugly duckling face, that STEVENS DEPLORES MAKING ARMY CRITICISM TARGET Pravda Hints Reds May Join European Pact LONDON (#—Pravda hinted Fri- day the Soviet Union might agree to have the United States join in the 50-year European collective se- curity pact Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov proposed at the Big Four conference in Berlin. The official Soviet Communist party newspaper in an article broadcast by Moscow radio, sug- gested further discussion of the proposed treaty, which the West rejected. i “Arguments are being advanced concerning the undesirability of ex- cluding the United States from the treaty of collective security in Eu- rope,’ Pravda said. “However, no one at the Berlin conference denied the possibility of considering re- spective amendments to the draft treaty.” Molotov had proposed in Febru- ary at Berlin that the 32 nations of Europe—Communist and non - Communist—join in a security pact that would exclude the Unite States, Western diplomats protest- ed this would leave Russia tower- | ing over its weaker European | neighbors. CHARLESTON, S. C. (#~Seere- tary of the Army Robert T. Ste- vens says that, “It is deplorable that the Army . . . and especially its senior officers should too often be the target for irresponsible crit- icism.” The secretary’s row with Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis), one phase of which centered on Stevens’ charge that Brig. Gen. Ralph Zwicker un- derwent abusive treatment at a McCarthy subcommittee session, is still unsettled. However, Stevens did not men- tion McCarthy in his talk prepared for the inauguration of retired Gen. Mark W. Clark as president of the citadel, historic military school in Charleston Friday. The secretary said, however, he is determined to defend the Army, “its prestige and integrity.” He said that nothing was more | detrimental ta the military service than the feeling among its mem- bers that they are held in low es- teem by their fellow citizens. “Any action which fosters such a con- clusion strikes at the tap roots of our security,” he said. He said also that President Ei- senhower's expressed opinion that military leaders “must not be thrust into the political arena to become involved in partisan poli- tics” has too often been “forgot- ten or flouted.” About 95 per cent of operations to relieve cataract eye clouding are successful. The older a homely woman gtows the less reason she has to fear her mirror. But to a once beautiful woman a mirror is a tragic reproach. All thé arts of the drugstore and the beauty saloa cannot restore the image it once held. And since the mirror h ‘been her life, what has she left? A homely girl today has more consolation in her At any age a homely who has learned how to tractive has an edge over a an who has beauty and else, Her advantage grows the years, with head—and still fail to make men snap to attention.
