CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, SAYS: In its report after Investigation into the causes for the de- lay in the construction of Egliri Field, an Army air field at Val- pariso, Florida, and the airport at Pensacola, Florida, that it was caused by the successful fight of Senator Pepper to force the Government to buy the asphalt from the Pan-American Pe- troleum Corporation, represented by a law firm with which he once had connection, at a price much higher than the low bid. This was done, says the committee, by references made by Sen- ator Pepper in a heated discussion with government officials concerned in the purchase "to the necessity of State confirma-. tion" for their promotions. The Committee concludes its report with the statement in reference to Senator Pepper, "The Committee deplores most strongly the fact that any members of Congress would exert sufficient influence, and that an established government agency would be so susceptible to such, influence, as to cause unwar- ranted delay in the completion of a project so essential to the development of the national defense."

George, after refusing to recommend the purchase of asphalt from the Pan-American Petroleum Corpora- tion or anyoneelse, said: "I deplore political interference in government contracts." BY THE REPUBLICANS: Senator Tobey said in reference to Senator Pepper when this same asphalt deal tame up for discussion on the floor ot the Senate: "When a high government official beats the drums for war which will result in huge profits to certain companies In the United States, and when that same high government official uses his high office by active intervention on behalf of a great oil company in the matter of bids for contracts where the con- tract should go to the lowest bidder, the danger is that the people may believe that there is a connection between his ap- peal for intervention in the war and his motives for interveh- tion in the oil company deal." BY THE NATION: The Washington Daily News had this to say editorially about this asphalt deal: "Yesterday an article by Thomas L. Stokes, concerning Senator Pepper and a rather sticky asphalt contract for an Army Air Corps field in Florida, -precipitated more than an hour of lively debate in the U. S. Senate. Then all the re- marks were 'expurged' from the record, because some of the things said seemed to reflect upon the motives of certain mem- bers. of that august body. "We wish here merely to say that this newspaper is not bound by the protocol of 'senatorial courtesy.' The facts we have published about the 'asphalt contract will not be 'expunged' from our columns. Our sentiments were expressed by an officer from the Army Corps of Engineers who, having looked into the facts by order of Assistant Secretary of War Patterson, commented: 'It stinks'." IS THIS THE REASON? ---the "War Profiteers" are spending... $250,000.00 in a desperate effort to re-elect Senator Claude Pepper? Paid Political -Advertisement Paid' for .by Friends of J. Oflie Edmunds, but it is a tremendous advantage. 'Millard Caldiwell and Ernest Graham' were recognized as the men having the best chance to get in a runoff with Green, and, both candidates' have maintained their position fairly well, but indica- tions are they have both lost ground to Frank Upchurch ana Ed Baker. Senator Sheldon has failed to show much strength and is not looked on as a second pri- mary contender. While the proposed "closed, shop amendment" will not be voted on until the, general election In No- vember, it is' nevertheless an ac- tive feature of the present cam- paign. To the Tampa Morning Tribune goes the credit for smoo- in.g out candidates on this ques- tion as well as the cross-state canal. THE STAR, PORT ST. J, E, GULF GOUNTY, FLORIDA' FRIDAY,,,APRiL 2i,.1iw.

HITLER PACING COAST OF EUROPE Adolf Hitler, in effect, today is nervously pacing the 4000-mile invasion coast of Eu- rope from the North Cape to the Pyrenees, straining eyes and ears toward the sea in un- easy anticipation of vast Allied assaults against his fortress Europa, and even as we write this that invasion may have started. His armies, entrenched behind solid forti- fications, no doutt are ready for the acid test, for, as Capt. George Tapper remarked, the Germans "are good fighters, and don't let anyone else tell you differently." The harrass- ing thing is the uncertainty as to where the invasion will strike. Hitler has 4000 miles of varying coast to watch, a considerable por- tion of which your editor has seen, while General Eisenhower can strike with full force at any point. In other words, Eisenhower and not Hitler will choose the battlefield. Every propaganda device in addition to the usual espionage probably has been resorted to by the Nazis to feel out Allied invasion ten- dencies or "fish" for information, but all in- dications are that Hitler is a's much in the dark as ever. His main concern at present' lies along the European key points closest. to, Britain. The invasion coast naturally is not suitable along every mile for heavy landing opera- tions. Actually, from Biarritz to the North Cape-only 2150 flying miles. But Hitler has to reckon with every twist and curve in the coastline, and it goes without saying that every mile of invasion coast has come under detailed scrutiny by Hitler and his military staffs in the hope of putting their finger on the spot where General Eisenhower may have decided to stage the major curtain raiser for the second front. But wherever it may be, we can be assured of this fact: That it will mark the beginning of the end for fortress Europa, and the Nazi butchers. STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW We stated last week that John Blount was soon to go to worn stbr Uncle Sam, but discover that it was an erroneous. impression. We had. been hailed, on the street 'by John, who said, "Well, Port het. Joe is going to lose a good citizen. -mainly me." Naturally we tooz. it for granted. that he was go'nr into the army. But come to, finu out he was only going to mov& to Panama City. We still think John would look quite nifty in an aimy uniform or a pair of those' tight, sailor pants. : And Ferren Allen has hopes of being defenrreu,. he being past the 26-year-ola mark. But you can never tell what those boys. up in Washington wit- do-tomorrow they may raise the draft age to 60. And speaking of Ferrell Allen,s his wife, "Honey," is now an erm- ploye of the St. Joe Paper Com- pany, Seems she's some sort of a cardsorter or something in the We've got a lot of claptrap out of Washing- ton pertaining to the printing business that at times seemed about to put us in the big house at Chattahoochee, due to the gobble- degook words and phrases so deal- to the hearts of the bureaucratic nincompoops up there on the Potomac who draw up the di- rectives. And apparently we're not the only one who can't make head,,nor tails out of them, for Maury Maverick, chairman of the Smaller War Plants Corporation, recently denounced them forcefully. The straw that broke the camel's back-or Maverick's back, if you prefer-was a memo- randum someone left on his desk that read as follows: "Imminent activation of this over-all policy, following experimentation at the local level, is contemplated, the entire program stemming from implementation of sub-sec- tion 7 (2-B) title 11, the code as amended, subject to modification in procedtire based upon precedents." The longer Maverick looked at the memo- randum the madder he got until he finally blew up and issued an order that shook the very foundation of the capital's vast bureau- cratic empire. "Anyone," said Maverick, in his defiant or- der of the day, "using the words 'activation' and 'implementation' will be shot. Put the subject matter, the point, and even the corn- clusion, in one paragraph and the story on one page." Ever since the government was taken over by droves of college professors, economists, embryo, lawyers, bright young men and slide- rule boys, the edicts, directives, forms and in- structions (witness our last. income tax form) coming out of Washington have been'couched in language similar to that in the memo that Chairman Maverick found sc',offensive. Anyone who has come in contact with pres- ent-day governmental agencies knows just how Maverick felt. Niiiety per cent of tnis official drool is just plain 'damphool nonsense. and is nothing more than an attempt on the part of a flock of bird-brained bunglers to cover up their stupidity and incompetence by the use of a lot of two-dollar words. We, don't know whether the author of "Mairzy Doats," the screwball song that has been sweeping the country, dedicated it to the bureaucrats or not, but when it comes to making any sense, the words of that dippy ditty have it all over some of the goofy di- rectives that all of us have had to contend with in the last few years.

FRIDAY, APRIL-2i, 1944 PAG5 FOUR Must Fight For American Ideals, Avers Edmunds We Must Return to the Constitu- tional Democracy Under Which Our Nation Became Great Judge J. Ollie Edmunds, candi- date for a seat in the U. S. sen- ate, says that a fight must be made on the home f'ont to insure that the. battle for American ideals that is, being fought on foreign fronts ist not. lost here at home. The essence of the American dream the dream that lives in the hearts of American fathers and mothers is the hope and expec- tation that their children shall have a better chance in life than they, themselves, had, Judge Ed- munds said. "This is the Amerlican dream: That our children will live. in a nation of opportunity where 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness' are realities; where courage, effort and integrity will open the way to positions of leadership, honor and distinction; and that this heritage shall be the birth- right of every American child," Edmunds insisted. Judge Edmunds- expressed a fear that the American dream and the American way-are in danger of to- talitarian eclipse. He believes that these can be safeguarded only by a return to the constitutional de- moo'1acy under which our nation has become great. He believes that there is a fight on the home front that must be made if we are to keep America American for the child-,en of this day as. well as for the children of the days to come. All the other issues of his cam- paign are mere details of this great issue, he says. MISSING MEN RETURN A majority-of -missing men turn up as prisoners of war, the Dis- abled American Vete:tans reports. In World War I, out of 78,000 sol- diers reported missing, all but 46 had been accounted for 8 months after the war ended. Scores of chemicals may be pr.-- ducedi from brines found unde- thousands of acres of U. S. lane. REAL DISCOVERY FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Dangerous High Blood Pressure (Essential Hypertension) is usually, marked by distressing symptoms unh as dizziness, throbbing head- telies, sleeplessness and nervous. ness. If disregarded, this may lead o Heart Trouble, Stroke, Paralysisj Hardening of the Arteries or Kid. ney Trouble. Diamonex, discovery of a heart specialist, is designed to 'quickly aid in the relief of these stressing symptoms. i A Chicago resident says: "I suf., fered from High Blood Pressure for, several years with increasingly severe throbbing headaches, dizzi- ness and shortness- of breath. I showed the Diamonex formula to my doctor and, on his advice, tried the treatment for two weeks under, :identical conditions as previous treatments. Within only three days my bad headaches and dizzy spells were gone. My high blood pressure ,was reduced and I sleep fine." Diamonex goes directly to work in three. different ways to aid iM the relief of these dangerous syrp4i toms.", Results are speedy-within as slhbrt a time as two weel's suf-. ferers often find that Diamonex has accomplished 75%-of the total re- duction possible with this formula.

He also re- minded purchasers that stamp 18 in War Ration Book 1, which has been valid- for shoes since June 16, 1943. will expire on April 30. A detailed breakdown showing the, monthly supply and demand of rationed, shoes, reveals that distribution of rationed shoes Lur- ing the year exceeded production by 53,000,000 pairs. This heavy drain on inventories clearly shows why it has been necessary to de- crease the rate of shoe 'rationing to civilian. LUCKY SEVEN "I had a hunch today.

The Washington syndiicate story re- vealed that the Associated Indus- tries. which is closely allied with the state chamber of commerce, was giving strong financial sup-. port, along with the northern Re- Dublicans, to Judge J.

"Despite the fact that on one side of me I have the junior sen- ator with millions of tax-extracted federal funds at his command and on the other side a candidate re- portedly, supported by Republican funds and money subscribed by men in the. higher financial brack- ets, of life, I know the common oe-ople of Florida 'would rather send a man to Washington with- out strings. Therefore, I have re- peatedly refused, to allow anyone to tie obligations to my political future by extracting from me cer- tain promises, just in order to be lavishly financed for a few weeks."
