JOE, FLORIDA FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1952 $3.00 Per Year NUMBER 50 Plane Accidentally Shot Down In Gulf Fired On By Pilot of Fighter; Two Survivors Picked Up Off Port St. Joe An Eglin Air Force Base B-17 bomber with eight crew members was shot down Monday morning in the Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles off Port St. Joe by a radar-equipped F-86B all-weather jet fighter piloted by Col. Arthur R. DeBolt of Colum- bus, Ohio. The four-enrgined B-17 was acting as a director for a radio-controlled B-17 drone, which was to have been the jet's target. But the 600-mile- an-hour jet, which seeks its target by radar, fired on the directing B-17 instead of the drone, which was trailing about a mile and a half. Pilots in the area at the time said.the B-17 "caught fire and blew into pieces in a very few minutes." Their reports as to the number of parachutes seen varied from one to four. Planes from navy and 'air force bases at Tyndall, Biloxi, Miss., St. Petersburg, PensaCola and Eglin Field, as well as coast guard, air force and navy boats joined in the search and two survivors were cip ked up Tuesday by the min n- Lnu Lriggr, U1 1t termeasure station at Panama City. -which he didn't, naturally.

Two Youths Give Chief Of Police Rough Time Arrested for Public Drunkenness, They Attempt To Beat Him With His Own Gun Two Pensacola youths picked up Saturday afternoon by Chief of Po- lice Buck Griffin on a charge of drunkenness, gave the officer a rather rough few minutes as well as several cuts and bruises. The two, Leroy and Jimmy H. Stokes, brothers, were picked up by Griffin on Monument Avenue at Tomlinson's Gulf station and placed in the back seat of the police car. On the way to the city jail, Jimmy reached over the back seat and grabbed Griffin's gun in a holster on his hip. The holster with the gun in it, unsnapped from his belt, and as Griffin turned to see what it was all about, Jimmy struck him below the left ear with the hol- stered gun, the leather breaking the force of the blow. Chief Griffin turned loose of the steering wheel and went over the back of the front seat to tangle with his two prisoners, grabbing the gun with his left hand and get- ting the hammer between the loose skin between his thumb and fore- finger, Jimmy having worked the gun from the holster. With his right hand, Griffin turned the gun on the young man, who had his finger on thA trl-iPO-per and told him i to shootr irom a metropolitan area, main- itaining, that the project here was S[an isolated project. - Race.

I 1 FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1952 Labor Day Taxes Certain, But Death Can Be Avoided The Labor Day week-end will be no holiday from taxes, but death can 'be avoided, says the Florida petroleum industries committee in urging motorists to take extra care in the three-day motoring spree be- ginning tomorrow. It is predicted 844,000 Florida mo- torists will drive 105,500,000 miles over the three-day week-end, burn up 7,033,000 gallons of gasoline and pay $633,000 in state and federal gasoline taxes. "The world knows us as making automobiles our way of life," says the institute, "but if we don't watch out, automobiles will become just as well known as our way of death. Death may be inevitable- but it doesn't have to come on the highways this week-end unless we make it so. Taxes, of course are a different matter. Even the careful driver won't beat the tax collector, but if you drive with extra care you can beat the Grim Reaper." September 1 Deadlinefor Ordering Pine Seedlings Due to increased demands for Florida Forest Service slash pine seedlings, Gulf county landowners who plan to plant pine seedlings this winter are asked to get their seedling orders in to the forest ser- vice before Septemnber 1, which is next Monday. This year, orders for 10,000 or less seedlings will be filled com- pletely, but orders for more than 10,000 will probably have to be cut. Before this can be decided, seed- ling orders must be received and counted. -Seedling application forms can be secured from County Agent Cubie Laird at Wewahitchka, or if you can catch him when he's prowling the streets of St. Joe or Overstreet.

So what do these beneficient individuals do but slap the gruesome term "drought disaster area" on Gulf county and her nineteen sister counties of Northwest Florida. On what surveys and other factual information did the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture base its' designation? In an election year that's a foolish question. A quick survey of Gulf county shows that the corn crop, which is not a major crop, has suf- fered about a 25 per cent setback, and our pas- tures, which continue to increase in acreage each year, have been' damaged about 10 per cent. Does that constitute a "drought area"? While it has been rather dry in this section, it has not been sufficiently so to create an emer- gency. True, there have been scattered reports of crop and pasture damage, particularly in Jack- son county, but we have heard nothing about complete failure of crops and have heard no farmer worth his salt falling on his knees and praying for assistance from Washington. Nevertheless, in this contentious election year, Harry and his henchmen race to the rescue. And why? Simply because by designating this sec- tion a drought area it qualifies farmers for long- term emergency loans at low interest so that they can plant new crops or plan for future op- erations. But the real purpose is to establish a pipeline through which money and credit may be pumped from Washington (at the expense of the taxpayer, naturally, and to the benefit of She bureaucrats) thus showing that the present administrationn is everybody's friend and that the :farmers particularly should vote right come the "'November election. We're not saying that any Gulf county farmer or stockraiser in distress because of drought con- ditions should not be assisted over the hump, but in our opinion, should there be any in need of assistance, the best approach for relief would be by local action, which would allow any such individual to hold his head high and be relieved of the stigma of "charity"-which is what it really amounts to if you consider the matter carefully -charity at the hands of the taxpayers. My, oh, my! What Harry and his horde won't do to garner a vote or two! It is our guess that there will be no more trouble between the Russians and the Swedes or the Danes. Those little nations have a policy. They have announced it. Only British and Ameri- can planes are any longer fair targets for trigger- happy Russian fighters because the Russians know that we have no firm policy. They know that an attack upon our airmen will result in nothing more than a hurried conference between, the pentagon brass and the state department to deteratine what our policy was when the attack was made.-Pairfield (Iowa) Ledger. BREAKING THE CLINCH General Eisenhower has declared himself for "the middle way" in charting his course to the White House; while Governor Stevenson, calling his opponent another "me-too" candidate, sought to shoulder him off the same middle-of-the-road strategy while your friend (he ain't ours) Harry Truman, in his press conference, sought to spank his wayward boy, Adlai. Thus far, both candidates want less govern- ment in Washington, and both would throw the rascals out. But, from here on, things may be different. The president says Adlai must run on the Roose- velt-Truman record, which, he said, is all the Democratic party has to run on. Which, in the opinion of the editor of The Star, is correct. It's a long time since'the party has paid much heed to an earlier Democrat named Jefferson who said: "Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread." Trpman also took exception to Stevenson's ref- erence to "the mess in Washington," and said he knows nothing about any "mess" in his admin- istration. Refusing to comment on Eisenhower's stand, Truman said he would save his remarks until he takes the stump himself. Thus, it would appear that Adlai will have not merely a helper but a mentor as well, and had better forget this states rights foolishness and cleaning up messes. TRUMAN ENUMERATES HIS VIRTUES. (Reprinted.from Florida Times-Union) It must be wonderful to be a man like Harry S. Truman! He has the deep philosophy of the "See no evil, o Hear no evil, Speak no evil" trio of monkeys. is nl practically omniscient and, in addition, enjoys the i occult gift of clairvoyancy. . It must be true. He said so himself. All in a single interview. . Having seen no evil in the internal revenue bu- ( reau's corruption and having heard no evil about G the department of agriculture's grain scandals, . r naturally he can speak no .evil of his administra- J tion. In fact, he knows absolutely nothing about s any mess in Washington. J If there were any mess, as some ignorant citi- H zens continue to believe, he would be thoroughly C familiar with the details. Because, as he openly S admits, he knows more about government than s any man in the United States. I But Mr. Truman is really blessed when it comes to possessing faculties denied ordinary a mortals. He doesn't have to read what his oppon- ents say, he knows ahead of time what they are a going to say. For that reason, he is able to answer a them before they say anything. 8 In his candid appraisal of his own qualities, Mr. Truman quite modestly described himself, a not as the kingpin but as the "key" to the Demo- t cratic campaign. The party, despite any protes- tations to the contrary, must run on the New Deal-Fair Deal record. Which is what many citizens have suspected s all along. r _o With the present inflationary spiral it won't be 1 the corporations that will be reduced to misery r and privation if it continues, it will be the work- ers, whose high wages are buying less and less , the higher and higher they go. You can call a man most anything under the t sun and he'll forgive you. But for goodness sake, don't make a mistake and slight the city the fel- low lives in or he'll carry a grudge the rest of his life.-Farmers' Press, Towner, N.

GEORGE Y. CORE, (CTRCTTIT COURT Clerk circuit Court. SEAL) 8-8 29 FEDERAL PAYROLL (Continued from page 1) the big increase in the last year came. Your friend (he ain't ours) Tru- man claims credit for his adminis- tration for much of the recent staff reduction in non-defense agencies. He promised in his budget message last January that government ac- tivities not related to defense would be cut to the bone. Republicans in congress, with the backing of many Democrats, hooted at the thought of the Truman ad- ministrationn saving the taxpayers money. Congress did, however, proceed to slash some six billion dollars from the president's requests for funds to run the government-but that mostly will affect civilian agencies in the -present fiscal year ending June 30, 1953. In addition, two further curbs have been in effect. One limits money for salaries and expenses of government workers to 90 per cent of what the president asked. The other cut by 25 per cent the president's requests for funds to pay "publicity experts and their as- sistants." This was a highly popular pro- posal among members of congress who contend the administration is spending millions each year turn- ing out propaganda intended to keep itselfin office at the expense of the taxpayers (and the editor of The Star can certainly testify to that, if the amount sent out to this small paper is any criterion). The administration's answer is that it's only keeping the public in- formed about government activities. But in spite of the administration "cutting to the bone" and congres- sional efforts to extend the cutting to the marrow, the federal payroll keeps on going up, and up, and up. Its 2,596,690 employes at the end of the past fiscal year compared with these other totals: 919,776 just before the world war broke out in 1939; 3,749,578 at the war- time peak in 1945; 1,968,400 when war broke out in Korea in June of 1950. Thus the increase since fighting began in Korea is 628,290. What do all these people do? Your friend (he ain't ours) Presi- dent Truman recently gave a run- down.
