BARUCH ON WARTIME ECONOMY Bernard Baruch, who probably knows more about supply and demand in peace and war than any other man in the country, recently told a group of students our fail- ure to have a fully worked-out mobilization plan at the outbreak of World War Il, and to impose such a plan in the early days of the Korean War has probably cost this country $140,000,000,000. Mr. Baruch said World War II could have been end- ed a year quicker, and $100,000,000,000 saved, if the Government had immediately put into action a complete mobilization plan when the war began. Instead, he said, the country faltered and tried various measures — unsuc- cessfully in World War I — which allowed both inflation and profiteering and, finally, came round to the mobiliza- tion plan which we should have.had in the first place. In the Korean War, by refusing to enact stringent controls at the war’s outset, the country lost another $40,- 000,000,000, Baruch declared. Mr. Baruch stated flatly: “Taken together, in other words, more than half our national debt, which burdens us so heavily today, repre- sents a needless tribute exacted by inflation.” We do not claim Mr. Baruch has all the answers to problems of mobilization, but we do believe he is basic- ally right, and that his ideas on this subject — if imple- mented — could have saved the country oyer a hundred billions dollars. The lesson is obvious. The country should have a fully worked out mobilization plan, as well as a system of de-centralized war industries — which would be effective and operating at the outset of a new world war. NEW NAVAL TIZZY IN BRITIAN While the United States is experiencing a series of sensational charges and disclosures concerning strategy and operations during World War II, the British are not standing idly by. While various admirals and authors in the United States dispute various points about the attack on Pearl Harbor, the same sort of business is going on in the United Kingdom. The latest tizzy to be launched in England concerns the official naval history of the Royal Navy and a volume just published which covers the campaign in 1940. The history is entitled, “The War at Sea,” and is written by Captain S. W. Roskill. In this volume the author deals rather critically with the intervention of Sir Winston Churchill is high seas operations in 1940..He concludes that the intervention of Sir Winston, who was First Lord of the Admiralty at the time, sometimes confused the conduct of operations and increased the “difficulties” of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet. Naturally, this history will be disputed by many, in- cluding Sir Winston himself, who has always been an ad- vocate of direct action from high authority, if necessary, to get things moving properly on the battlefield or on the high seas, In more than one case Churchill’s direct intervention prevented many British casualties and changed the course of the war. No doubt his unconventional and direct inter- ventions, at times, caused the tradition-bound regular of- ficers of all the services some ghastly moments. [HIOIPT!

Singing syllable COMMUN: (Editor’s note—This is the se- cond in a series of articles to be released on Allied Nationals study- ing at Fleet Sonar School.) Men of South America as well as European Navies come to Fleet Sonar School to study so that both countries friendly to the United States and the United States itself may be strengthened in the cause of freedom. Lieutenants Cassio Prado Ribeiro and Jorge Sylvio Menezes de Castilho of the Brazi- lian Navy arrived at Fleet Sonar School for this reason some months ago. Lt. Ribeiro was born in 1923 in Rio de Janeiro, the captial and chief port of Brazil. Brazil, dis- covered for Portugal in 1500 by |Pédro Alvares Cabral, is the only th American country whose language is Portuguese. The cli- mate of Brazil is much like that of Key West. There is very little dif- ference in either place between seasons. Brazilian Academy Lt. Ribeiro entered the Escola Naval, the Brazilian Annapolis, at 15 and was graduated from the five year course in December of ‘43. First assigned as an engineer a- board the destroyer Greenhalgh, Lt. Ribeiro helped rescue men from the crews of five Brazilian merch- ant ships torpedoed by German submarines within four days in 1944. During WW1l, the Green- halgh also escorted convoys to Gibralter and Trinidad. 15M 2%; Lt. Cassio Prado Ribeiro And Lt.

The Timbira, an old Indian Tribe which lived in Brazil, were driven jinland similar to our American |Indians, and today are practically | non-existent. Lt.

Menezes de | CastiJho. | In the United States they receiv- |ed afloat training aboard the sub- marines Balao, Medregal, Archer- fish, Ratfish, and Trumpetfish op- erating out of Key West. They also went to the U. S. Navy’s Sub School in New London, Conn., and to the Damage Control School in Philadelphia, Penna., before ar- riving at Fleet Sonar School. Navy Heritage Lt. Castilho, whose father is a retired Rear Admiral in the Braz- ilian Navy, also studied at the Escola Naval. Graduated in 1944, ‘he was first assigned to destroy- er Maranhao. The destroyer was be able to use a lead in atomic industrial power development as |a lever to outmaneuver the United States in the cold war between communism and the free world. American atomic officie!s con- tempjated this prospect in the light of the Soviet’s claim to have put into operation a nuclear power plan with a 5,000-kilowatt electric- al power output. While there was no immediate official confirmation of the an- nouncement made by Moscow ra- dio Wednesday, there also was no disposition to deny that the Rus- sians had succeeded in getting an atomic power plant into operation. Experts here well remembered the success of the Reds in producing a nuclear fission explosion in 1949— several years before the time gen- erally predicted. ‘Those who look upon peaceful use of atomic power as an instru- ment of national policy contend: The nation which first succeeds lin building practical atomic pow- ler plants capable of being as- sembled in components and shipped overseas will have an in- strument to offer power-poor na- tions such as those of southeast and southern Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and in similar places. for the building and export of such plants, they say, she would have nism.

Submarine Personnel Officers |from May ‘52 to November ‘53, he |then came to the United States | with Lt. Ribeiro, “Life in the U. S. is mpch more |easy, comfortable, and practical,” both lieutenants agreed. In Brazil one must shop in a different store for meat, for groceries, and for staples such as sugar and coffee. In the United States all these types of items can be found in one store. U. S. inhabitants can also buy with- out wait any manufactured article they wish. In Brazil one must sometimes wait for importation. Both men agreed that they had made numerous friends here and that during their stay they had learned very many interesting things. “We would like to come back| another time,” they stated. | Writing Ability May Decide Case SUFFOLK, Va. (®—The literary ability of two Suffolk women may | determine whether either faces an additional penalty on reckless driv- ing charges as a result of an auto- mobile accident. Cars driven by Phillis Jean Cul- pepper, 21, and Mrs. Thelma Lee Baggett, 43, collided last week with only giinor damages, but both women were charged with reckless driving. After hearing case Wednesday, Police Court Justice E. Roland {Custis reset the case for July 10 |to pass judgment — after he reads two-page essays on “Who's Got the | Right of Way” he sentenced the two women to write.

It’s like this: T've volunteered to help get the names of all civic, fraternal, and Teligious organizations within the community. .My army days should have taught me better than to stick my neck out! There are dozens and dozens of outfits here in Key West. After trying to list a few which auto- matically popped into my mind— Lions, Elks, Masons, ete.—I gave up in disgust. Nearly everyone of those outfits is also divided into several branches or orders, especi- ally the Masons. Here’s what I need: THE NAME OF EACH ORGANIZATION IN TOWN; ITS PRIMARY FUNC- TION; AND THE NAME OF ITS PRESIDENT OR DIRECTOR! That is for both colored and white groups—large or small. Telephone Or Write Do you know that there isn’t an authentic list of ALL Key West's many organizations! Please help me make one. Telephone or write me a card about your group. Be sure and give an address where I can con- tact its representative. And don’t depend upon someone else doing it. I’m at home nights and if I’m not in The Citizen building during the day, you can leave your message. A directory of this sort will be invaluable and I hope to be able to make enough copies to furnish all clubs with one. Thanks in advance! Wasting Time Is “This Rock of Ours” wasting its time on Saturdays when it at- tempts to encourage people to con- sider spiritual subjects? Apparent- ly so. Scared Juggler Saves Friend From Mad Lions JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (®—Eric Drosdsky is a circus jug- gler who is scared of animals. But last night he lepped into the lion cage and ought desperately for the life of trainer William Coetzee, his best friend. Women screamed and fled from the tent when one of the six per- forming lions turned on Coetzee as he was putting the animal tirovgh its paces, As 1l six lions pounced, Drosdsky rushed into the ring. With a chair, he tried to draw the rag- ing beats toward himself. The lions clawed the trainer. Then they chased the juggler until ringmaster Dennis Wood joined him with a club. Together they held the beasts at bay and dragged Coetzee out. The trainer, badly mauled, died three hours later, Drosdsky, mean- while, had gone on with his own juggling act. Key West In Days Gone By 20 YEARS AGO July 2, 1934 Arriving yesterday from Miami were Governor Dave Sholtz and Julius F. Stone, Jr., FERA admin- istrator in the state, for a con- ference with officials of the ad- ministration in Key West. They came by Coast Guard plane. Bathing in the water flowing from an irrigation hose in the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Will Baez at 1415 Newton Street ,an alliga- tor about two feet long was hav- ing a great time until interrupted in his ablutions by Mrs. Baez. An | alligator of much larger size was caught near the North Beach several weeks ago. Sponge sales this morning on jthe new dock were slightly in excess of the biggest day last | week.

Inside was an exceptionally well-written little tract concerning the Bible. Point of the situation is that there was no name of the sender, % Why do people have to be ashamed of religion? Is it because they are afraid that if they speak of the subject and then don’t live a saintly life, they will be called hypocrites? Good gosh, what ignorance! I don’t know of a bigger sinner on the face of the earth than myself. That dosn’t make me a hypocrite because I talk about metaphysics in these private, intimate columns. Heck! bad as I am, I would be a darn sight worse if I didn’t ask for help and advice from others. So what are you afraid of? When you write letters, sign your name. And when you speak of God or spiritual experiences, don’t lower your voice as if you were shamefully admitting some mortal sin. In the past, both Christians and Jews have become martyrs for their religious beliefs. Nowa- days, about half of the population will proudly talk about visiting a saloon, a gambling joint, or some brothel but they flush with embar- rassment if they accidentally be- tray interest in God. Salvation Army There is one thing I like about the Salvation Army—its members don’t make any bones about what they believe in! Of course, that much can be said for the pastors and leaders i movement. men who try to make the entire subject a “hush, hush” proposition. Enough of this. And thanks to the sender of the tract. It was well-worth reading.

SIGSBEE PARK RESIDENT REPLIES Editor, The Citizen: As a resident of government héusing managed by civilians, I coud like to reply publicly to H. Anyone on a government reser- vation is subject to the rules es- tablished by the authorities respon- sible for maintaining order in that area. The State of Florida, in deny- ing the right to vote to residents of Sigsbee Park and other Naval Housing areas has denied that these areas are a part of the state. How then can Key West claim au- thority to send their police force to act on land not legally part of the state, not to mention Key West. Persons requiring police protection including Navy Wives, have the privilege of calling the Shore Pa- trol, at least as efficient and well disciplined a force in maintaining order as the local police force. I refuse to believe that a first or second offense of speeding alone has or ever will lead to eviction. Perhaps that is not such a bad idea. Has H. V. B. ever seen a child that has been hit by a car that was speeding in a crowded | residential district? Of course, we in Sigsbee still pay state taxes on rental, as well as other purchases made out here. Taxation without representation is something that schoolchildren of my generation were taught was the basic reason for the Revolution. (1776 Remember?) H. V. B. has not to the best of my know]- edge seen fit to complain about that. When the Navy seeks to pro- tect the lives, health and property of law-abiding Navymen and their dependents, H. V. B. would have them rely on civil law enforce- ment in a military zone. H. V. B. hit the nail on the head when he stated “These people are forced to — become ‘Key West’ citizens.” I, with my family would gladly forego the dubious privilege of becoming a ‘Key West citizen” in order to enjoy the many ad- vantages of living in Sigsbee Park or Peary Court. Please don’t consider this to be a complaint in any way against the local police. My experience with them has shown them to be prompt, efficient, and courteous. Lt. James and Deputy Sheriff Rop- er were both extremely coopera- tive in recovering a stolen camera for me and I should like publicly to thank them at this time. D. L. BLACK June 25, 1954. Studies of fermentation by Pas- teur are regarded by scientists as among the most important on the subject. Citizen Want Ads Pay Off! lTrouble Comes From African King’s Ouster By FRED zUSY KAMPALA, Uganda i» — What happens when a king is kicked off his throne? Here in Uganda, in the heart of tropeal. Africa, 4 has spelled trouble. Unrest simmers under the sur- face since the ouster last Nov. 30 of Kabaka (King) Mutesa II in Buganda, most important ° of Uganda’s four provinces. Thus far the British officials who run this colonial protectorate have kept developments in hand. A new state of emergency was declared May 31 to enable stronger police action against a crime wave and to stop strong-arm efforts by na- tives to back up a boycott of West- Sir Keith Hancock, a British con- stitutional expert named by the Colonial ‘Office, has come here to see what can be done. He may remain until September. The British government and Sir Andrew Cohen, Uganda’s governor, say the Kabaka will not return, Cohen kicked him out because he demanded independence. The Kabaka, as a result, has be- come a martyr, even though he enjoyed only lukewarm support from some groups before. Now the Uganda Legislature, called the Great Lukiko; has pledged its unanimous loyalty to him. The Lukiko meets regularly ‘but the Kabaka’s throne, at the head of the chamber, is vacant. The throne is on a dais covered with a score of lion and leopard skins. The 30 royal drums are stilled too. The present troubles of Uganda — known as the pearl of Africa because of its rich oil — trace to hints made last year that the Colo- nial Office had in mind the idea of an East African federation, com- prising Uganda, Kenya and Tan- ganyika. Native leaders wanted none of this. It didn’t fit with their ideas of an eventual African state. They were afraid more white set- tlers would come to Uganda. Now there are fewer than 7,000 whites among more than five million blacks. They were especially fear+ ful of the white settlers from Mau Mau — threatened Kenya, across the border.
