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

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

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.

Our Country -F- Right or Wrong

WHAT HARRY WON'T DO FOR VOTES!
As our readers are probably aware, this is an
election year, and, as our readers are also prob-
ably aware, the farmers of Gulf county have
always in the past managed to survive and con-
tinue to operate despite any so-called droughts.
However, this being an election year, as we have
already pointed out, your friend (he ain't ours)
Harry Truman and his entrenched bureaucrats
up there in Washington are everybody's .friend,
particularly the farmers', who swing a wicked
block of votes come election time.
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. D. ]

From the cradle of birth to the casket of death, P
the Home Town Editor is your friend. He puts
you on the map and if:you are worthy, helps
keep you there.-St. Anthony (Idaho)-Chronicle. c

Somehow right at the moment our chest don't E
exactly swell with pride because we are a mem- 1
ber of the so-called Democratic party.-Joe Mal-
pas in Wakulla County News.

If life wasn't full of trials, where would the
lawyers he?

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. He said 78% work for the
defense department, postoffice and
veterans administration, and the
remaining 22', perform all other
functions of the government.
