JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY,. MAY 9, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER, 33 Resident of St. Joe is Victim of 'Speed Trap' In Bay County Charges He Was Arrested After Predicting Tapper Would Win In.Senate Race E. H. Vittum of this city asserts that he was stopped by Constable Lamar Braley of Bay county near the Bay-Gulf county line Saturday for allegedly passing a school bus and that after Braley had asked to see his driver's license and where he worked, asked "what the sena- torial race looked like." Vittum said he told Braley that in his opinion George Tapper would win, whereupon, according to Vit- tum, Braley said: "Well, I guess you'd better follow me in." Vittum "followed him in" and posted a $25 cash bond. .Appearing in court Saturday, Vit- tum was acquitted of the charges by Justice of the Peace Ellis Davis. 'As a result of Vittum's arrest Governor Fuller Warren sent a tel- egram to Representative Tapper stating that a special investigator would be sent to Bay county to check on the report that Braley is "maintaining a speed trap and using' his authority for purposes not authorized by law." Tapper says that he asked for/the investigation following "numerous (Continued on page 5) --- ,. ~ '- - Commission Candidates. Whittled Down To Six SRunoffs Will Be Between Connell and Whitfield; Cooper And Mil- ler; Hart and Strange With the first primary over, the voters of Gulf county will i ow have to be pestered with but six candi- dates for seats on the board of county commissioners, the other 10 having been eliminated. W..R. Connell and T. D.,"Doc" Whitfield emerged as high men in the District 1 (Wewahitchka) race, with Tom McDaniel in third place and' the other four trailing. The in- cumbent, Tobe Gay, placed fifth in the field of seven. In the Beacon Hill district (3), the final go-round will be between Parker G. Hart and Peter Strange, the incumbent. None of the other three contenders came near the to- tal vote piled up by these two. In the St. Joe district George W. Cooper came out on top of the pile, with J. F. Miller, incumbent, sec- ond, John Dickey third and Foy Scheffer Jr., bringing up' the rear. GEORGE G.

Company Friday night and made off with $893.04 in checks and $391 in currency. The two, who were picked up Saturday by Griffin, had all of the cash and the checks, most of which were' paper' mill payroll vouchers, in their possession. SThey were-booked at the county jail in Wewahitchka and were re- leased under bond of $500 each. They will come up for trial at the 'fall term of circuit court. -------- ------ Joins Navy To See the World Paul Edwin Ramsey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Ramsey of this city, has enlisted in the navy and at present is undergoing recruit training at the Naval Training Cen- ter at San Diego, Calif. Upon com- pletion of this training he will at- tend a class "A" school in one of the many trades offered by the navy. Much to the 'surprise of every- one, with the exception of Mr. Wil- liams, perhaps, Gulf county went for Ben C. Williams over George G. Tapper in the race for state sena- tor from the 25th District. However, Tapper received a ma- jority over Ben when returns came in from the other counties making up the district to give him, unoffi- cially, 10,695 votes against Ben's 8,026. In Bay county, Tapper received 5,847 and Williams 4,042. Calhout county \vent for Tapper, 1,537, with Williams chalking up 1,172 votes. in its 14 precincts. Washington county's 22 precincts gave Tapper 2,215 .and Williams 1,643. McCarty and Odham To Be In Runoff For Governor On May 27 Tallahassee VD Center Will Serve Gulf County Rapid Treatment Center At Mel- "bourne To Be Closed By S Health Board The continuing battle against ve- nereal diseases in Florida will take a significant new turn next month when the state board of health closes down the rapid treatment center in Melbourne and puts sev- eral regional treatment and; control centers into service. The regional treatment centers will .be.located in Pensacola, Talla- hassee, Jacksonville, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Miami and at Mel- bourne or Orlando. The Tallahassee center will serve Gulf and nearby counties in this section. Present plans call for'temporary operation at Melbourne, with: a transfer- to Orlando as soon as detailss can be. arranged.

Russell Edge People of Gulf County Join With Neighbors To Out-Vote the Kefauver City Folks The people of Gulf county joined with other North Florida counties in backing Senator Richard Rus- Sell of Georgia for president of the United States to out-vote the city folks of South and East Florida who supported Senator Estes Ke- fauver. Gulf county gave Russell 1,551 votes as against 466 -for Ke- fauver. Other counties in the area voted in about the same propor- tion. Kefauver appealed particularly to voters in the large city areas made up principally of Northerners while Russell had the backing of the "country" people, many of whom came from Georgia and con- sequently had a friendly feeling for a fellow Georgian. But be that as it may, the 27 counties that form the northern portion of the state gave Russell almost exactly the plurality by which he defeated Kefauver-more than 55,000 votes. ANYBODY SEEN MY DOG? David Rich, 10, came into The Star office Wednesday and told us his dog "Smokey" hadn't been home since Sunday, and would we please run an ad "I'll. pay a reward of $3.50," said David, "and I've got the cash right with me." Anyone finding a dog that will answer to.,the name "Smokey"' (he forgot to tell us what kind or color the dog was), please get on the telephone and call 306 to tell David his dog has been found. mM^^\s\^MMSM^^ MS^SS^^i^/S<\^^'Srr Dan Lacked Few 'Thousand Votes of Being.

Scale Model Electric Crane Is Masterpiece of Fine Workmanship By HARRY McKNIGHT A scale model electric crane, re- motely controlled, that made.boys of men and would send any--mech- anically-minded boy into ectasy, was demonstrated to Kiwanians Wed- nesday of last week at their regu- lar dinner meeting held at.

Standing about 36 inches high to the tip of the boom and weighing' about 35 pounds it was a perfect replica of the huge crawler type diesel -electric cranes now being used by Tidewater in its operation at the plant of the St. Joe Paper Company and would do everything that it is possible for a traveling crane to do,-from moving buckets of earth, turning in any direction, traveling in any direction at the same time, climbing to a loading platform, picking up and moving the platform at will, and, in fact, doing everything but talk. Using a 25-volt generator box for power with all control wires con- solidated into one cable leading to a 12-control panel on its front sec- tion, the crane was built purely as a hobby by Fischer, who worked on it approximately two hours a day foy two years.

Wilson and Cecil Costin Jr., candidates for representative in the legislature from Gulf county, held a sort of de- bate on several matters pertaining to changing the city charter of Port St. Joe, which wele pro- mulgated by Uncle Charlie. Since this is being written on Monday, we don't know which of these gentlemen will be elected, but we do want to put in our two-bits worth, regardless. Mr. Wilson, among other things, would 'have the voters elect our city clerk, city judge and chief of police. We wouldn't particularly mind the city judge and chief of police being elected by the people, but we wouldn't want to) see our city clerk (who is also auditor) selected thusly. For instance, suppose the editor of The Star decided he would like to become city clerk and, through the influence he might wield through the medium of this newspaper, plus the support of his friends, ran against Ben Dickens and beat him. Well, to tell you truthfully, Ye Ed is one heck of a bookkeeper, and if it came down to making an audit, we'd be lost. Consequently, the city's books would be in a horrible mess. We're lucky/ to be able to keep our own books in a pitiful sort of way, and if they balance to within thirty or forty dollars either way, we're happy. So you see what could happen should someone with sufficient influence and friends and little or no knowledge of\accounting be elected as our city clerk. No' we feel that the present setup, where the city commission appoints a fully qualified man to the position, is the best bet.

The uther day in I TEN YEARS AGO From the Files of The Star Lewis and Wilson In Runoff Running feck and neck as the votes were tabulated Tuesday eve- ning, E. Clay. Lewis Jr., and C. C. Wilson emerged as high men in the race for representive in the legisla- ture, with C. H. Johnson bringing up the rear as a poor third. Lewis polled 747 votes, Wilson 845 and Johnson 139. Citizens Sign for Ration Books Adults of Port St. Joe went back to -ch:,l ,this week and crowded; our .-iric'l to get their fourth "R" -a ration book which is now neces- sary to buy sugar, probably from iow until the end of the war. Roche Wins Commission Seat The race-for county commissioner in the Port St. Joe district was the biggest surprise of theelection to; most.people when W. C. Roche was :iamed to the board over the incum- 'ent, Harry Saunders. Roche re- ceived 1088 votes and Saunders 6'17. In the Wewahitchka district, "W. R. Connell was returned to the .board by a. plurality of 159 votes over his two opponents, Ernest E. Bridges and Claude Lister, the for- mer receiving 350 votes and the latter 388. Roy B.

To Go Into Service Billy Wallace expects to leave to- STARDUST and MOONSHINE While it's only a minor skirmish, with the winner still in doubt, you should know that the navy has en- gaged the senate preparedness com- mittee in the "battle of the paper- weights." At the risk of revealing classified information,. H. R. As- kins, assistant secretary of the navy, has reported the need of 48,- 000 paperweights per year. Any re- duction, he indicated is a'case of saving at the spigot and wasting at the buag, snoe .if .paperw-eights are scarce "individuals have a ten- dency to improvise by utilizing other office equipment for the same purpose, which often results in damage to more.expensive items not designed for' use as paper- ,weights." It seems hardly likely that anyone 'will';disci)ver that if there were fewer papers they wouldn't need so many paper- weights or so much "other office equipment," such as Waves . .to fill out the 'papers and then sit on 'em afterward. Joe Malpas, general factotum and presumably publisher of the Wa- kulla\County News, seems to be a bit frustrated. Sez Joe: "It is a dirty shame-but no longer do the canned milk cans have the little no- tation; 'Punch Hole Here' on the. top of the cans. For many. years we have; on our good mornings, dutifully: and carefully obeyed ii- structions and punched the hole 'here.' And on the mornings when we didn't feel so good, or were mad at something or somebody, we'd grab a can and punch the hole where we doggone pleased. It was fun to show our complete indepen- dence by casting conventions to the winds and'.just plain punching .... Then in the spring, when we were feeling plumb sassy, we'd flip the can upside down and slap a hole in the bottom of the can--f'n! But not any more, for the can just sits there with a bland and blank face, frankly -telling you that it plain don't give a whoop whether you pdnch it, !beat it with an axe or gnaw it open. ... Phooey." Earth Temperature While there is ample evidence that the Earth's interior is hot, there may be different estimates as to the exact temperature. Probably it is around 9,000 degrees F. day for San Diego, Calif., where he will be stationed with the marine corps. Billy Tapper arrived Sun- day from Washington, D.

A law enforcement officer has a duty to the public to perform and he certainly should not use his authority to molest supporters of his opposition." Braley was reported to be a sup- porter of Ben Williams of this city, Tapper's opponent in the senatorial race. Braley, according to the Panama City News-Herald, said he "would welcome a visit from Governor Warren's investigator," and would open his record books to him at any time. According to the News-Herald, Braley went on to say that "fur- thermore, he will find that only three persons from Gulf county have been arrested by me since I took office in January, 1950. One of these three was William R. Tapper, brother of Representative Tapper from Port St. Joe. He was arrested on February 17, 1952, on a charge of driving while intoxicated." Braley is said to have also de- clared that from time to time since the.'52, senatorial campaign got un- derway, pressure had been brought to bear on himn- "from sources higher than that of Stgte senator" 6o support Tapper.' "This I con- sistently refused to do," Braley is asserted to have said. "Not that I, have anything personal against Tapper, but I consider this a free country and I shall vote for whom. I please."

Convention' Delegates To Be Voted On May 27 With the first primary out of the way, decks are being cleared for the struggle for delegates to the Democratic national convention. One slate, urged by former U. S. Senator Claude Pepper, was nomi- nally labelled for Richard B. Rus4 sell of Georgia, but Pepper himself came out for Estes Kefauver just before Tuesday's primary. Mayor Jake Belip of this city will have his name on the Russell slate. The result for the coming 19 days before the second primary May 27 will be a fight for control between two groups of Democrats, neither very clearly defined as to their in- tentions in the national convention.

Wheels of Train Scatter $10,000; Most Recovered LAWRENCEVILLE, I11. Six- teen thousand dollars scattered over the landscape when a mailbag was ground under the wheels of a speeding train, w.s returned to postal officials. About 400 persons ran to the rail- road yards and helped collect the case, which was in ones, fives, tens and twenties. One man turned in about $1,400. A small boy took a stack of bills home and told his mother they fell from the sky. She turned in the money. A postal employee said about $1,008 was missitig'from the $16,000. but many bills were mutilated and this might account for the missing money.

OEGULFCOUTYFLORDA AGENlN No Closed Fishing Season Next Year After Hearing Interested Parties, Game Commission Throws Opep .All Waters Following a hearing conducted Monday in Panama City, the state game and fresh water fish commis- sion announced that there will be no closed season on fresh water fishing in Northwest Florida waters next year. Many persons at the Panama hearing urged. continuation of the closed season in future. The com- mission's chief fisheries biologist, John Dequin, recommended against closing waters of the area, saying that effect offishing during spawn- ing season was negligible. The Dead Lakes and Lake Wiih- ico in Gulf county, and, Merritt's Mill Pond and Ochessee Pond in Jacksoncounty are now closed un- til June 1. A spokesman for Georgia and Al- abama sportsmen asked the com- mission to increase the number of fish that can be taken from the state from one day's limit to two.- He asserted this district is the only one making such a restriction. A Liberty county fisherman pe- titioned the commission to keep slat baskets, legal for .catfishing'.: Arguing for the closed season were individuals from Bay, Jack- son, Escambia, Wakulla and Lib-. erty counties. Counties represented favoring an open season were Wa- kutlla, Leon, Madison and Washing- ton. Apparently there 'wasn't. one person from Gulf county sufficiently interested in the matter to appear before the commission.

St. Joe High, Sharks Chalk Up Two Wins The St. Joe Sharks defeated the Blountstown high team 5-4 Tues- day in a well-played ball game at Centennial Field. Lamar Freeman, ace Shark left-hander, held the Bucs to three safeties, two of which were of the scratch variety. Benny Hudson, hustling back- stop for the locals, had a good day at the plate, garnering three hits and driving in three runs.. Hildreth Dunlap banged out two doubles and a triple, the three-bagger almost clearing the leftfield fence. It is a matter of deep concern to the Sharks that their star catcher, Ed Creamer, broke a finger in prac- tice and will be lost to the team for the remainder of the season. The Sharks routed the Carrabelle Mullets' Tbursday afternoon of last week 24-0. \ Billy Fred- Parrish, a promising right-hander, turned in the first shutout of the season for the Shark :moundsmen. The entire team hit the ball wellfand ran wild on the bases in *posting the one- sided win.

Note-: The following was writ- ten especially for the 50th anniver- sary issue of the Newton (Iowa) Daily News.) Fifty years is a long time in the life of a man. In half a century a man can fall victim to fallen arches, dyspepsia, cynicism or delusions of grandeur. Over that period he begins to feel himself coming apart at the seams. So do many governments, because governments-like men-are sus- ceptible to interior ailments. But after 50 years a good news- paper is just beginning to hit its stride. A newspaper, like the commun- ity it reflects, is the sum of those who make it--nd something more. It has a vitality of its own. There is no reason why good newspapers and good towns should fail to grow together endlessly, eve n though those who make them must grow old themselves and die. The one thing a newspaper must have to endure is freedom. Amer- ica has had a free press ever since its founding. That is the only rea- son why today it has the greatest press in the world. It has been free for so long that most people in this country take their newspapers for granted. It would come as a dramatic shock to 'them if some day they awoke to find their newspaper could print only items that had been approved by a government censor. Yet this is a daily fact to millions of people living in dictator-ridden countries. They are told exactly what the dictator wants them to know-and nothing more. What is it like to live in such a country? It is always to live in doubt about :what is happening, what really is: going on, not only in your own country but in the rest of the world. Truth and propaganda become intertwined. Rumor- and< gossip ride the land. The final re- sult is that no sensible man can af- ford to believe anything he reads. or hears. All! he can ultimately be sure of is how the dictator spells- his name. . In such countries newspapers that try to remain free are ruthlessly suppressed. A bought partisan press 'then voices, parrot fashion, any nonsense those in power decree it- shall print. This daily barrage-of misinformation may stir the older generation to rebellious disbelief, but it twists to its own sinister pur- pose younger minds growing up, minds that never had a chance to sift truth from falsity because they never were exposed to truth. A free world press is the only real hope to world understanding; a bought press is the greatest barrier. It is this liberty to tell the truth that makes American newspaper- men, by and large, so fiercely proud of their craft. The mayor, the gov- ernor,.i or the president can't tell them: '"You print this-you don't that." They write the news-as it happens. Often the best reporters are those who refuse' o go to the big cities.' They would rather make-their ca- reers on newspapers in the. com- munity of their choice. One of tlie greatest, William Allen White, won world fame in Emporia, Kan. It proved a better springboard for him than New York, Washington or Chicago did for scores of his contemporaries. The size of a city has never 'teen an index to the quality of its news- papers-or of its newspapermen. Some of the best have always been located in small or medium-sized communities. ; A man likes to feel that what he has invested his life in is worth- while-and will go on. Although the average reporter doesn't spend much time talking about it, that is one of the privileges of newspa- per work-it has continuity of life. You may wear out, but the news- paper will go on, serving its com- munity. All surveys today show that Am- erican newspapers are of, higher quality, are read more widely, than ever before.- They probably will continue to be, so long as they re-: mdin free to be the voice of the people. 4McCARTY AND ODHAM (Continued from page '1) perintendent, were all returned to office by overwhelming majorities over their respective opponents.
