DAILY MEDITATIONS ’ In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his vresence saved them, in his love and in his pity he redeemed them, and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.— Prophet Isaiah 63:9, e ——————————————n Have you a favorite Bible verse? Mail to A. . Pledger, Holly Heights Chapel, s . . . llinois Is Taking Steps so Get Honest Law Enforcement BY PETER EDSON NEA Service Correspondent SPRINGFIELD, Ill—(NEA)—lllinois has had a long tradition of open gambling. Also, it is the man ufacturing center for most of the coin-machine in=- dustry, to give it a polite name. This in spite of the fact that for over 50 years, slot machines have been illegal, The whole trouble, says Governor Adlai E. Stev enson, has been lax law enforcement, The take on the slot machines alone has been from $60,000,000 to $100,000,000 a year. And since the machines have always been rigged to pay back no more than 20 percent of the take, the 80 percent profit has pro vided plenty of money for political corruption. Just where the corruption went in past state ad ministrations, Governor Stevenson says he doesn’t I.now. But that it went to local or state law enforce ment officials seems obvious. The governor and his attorney general, Ivan El~ liott, campaigned in 1948 on broad promises of re {orm and an end to corruption in state government, Since the Stevenson administration has now been in office for a year and a half, and since the slot machines are still being found in raids by the State Police, there have been a number of questions raised as to why campaign promises haven’'t been carried out. But here the governor makes a distinction. “I said that if I were elected governor, there would be no lines between the gamblers and the state,” he ex plains, “I did not say there would be no local tie ups, which are a local responsibility.” JOB FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES Governor Stevenson offers this explanation not as an alibi, but as a statemrent of his poelicy. ife does not believe that enforcement of anti-gambling laws should be carried out at the state government level, He believes it should be done by city and county officers. To this end, the attorney general has called in local sheriffs and police officials of places where gambling was known to exist. These local officials have been lectured on their responsibility, and in some cases even threatened, where co-operation has been negative or sporadic. In a few cases where there has been no action at all, the Illinois State Police have been ordered to make raids, But this the governor says he does not like to do. The State Police force numbers only 500 officers, There are seldom more than 200 on duty at any one time. And to muster 100 of them for a gambling raid in any one locality weakens the regu lar patrolling of a state 400 miles long, Before even these enrergency raids could be con ducted, it was necessary to completely reorganize the State Police force. Heretofore, this force has been called a political plum. When a state adminis tration was changed from one party to another, it has been customary to fire the whole State Police force and recruit a new one, This has now been changed. By agreement with the Republicans, half of their old State Police force was fired and replaced by Democrats, And here after, appointments to the force will be made on a merit basis only, regardless of political affiliations. This taking of the State Police out of politics is offered to the cities and counties as an example of good government and as a first step towards getting more honest law enforcement. OBSTACLE TO SUSPENDING LIQUOR LICENSES In a few cases, the state has tried to suspend liquor licenses in establishnrents which permitted gambling. But this movement has been tied up by court injunction. No decision as to its legality is possible before October. The raids on gambling houses which State Police have conducted in half a dozen Illinois counties have thus far netted nearly 500 slot machines. They have created much speculation in Illinois as to whether the state would completely take over the “anti-gambling drive, In the light of the governor’s policy statement above, however, it is apparent that the State Police will be used only in emergency cases, against the worst offenders whom local police cannot or will not touch. Territorial government should be endured no longer than is necessary to show that the people of the territory are loyal citizens . . . and capable of self-government. That time has come. — Governor Ingram Stainback of Hawaii. It would be a mistake . ~ to mislead the Amer ican people igto thinking that our security in the defense of western Europe is assurgd. — General - Omar N. Bradley. We must realize that the continuation of our pros perity and well-being depends on like-minded na tions being able to maintain their freedom and denr ocratic institutions.—Secretary of State Dean Ache son. Atmosphere of Suspicion Belies . Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence was a ringing testament of freedom. It set the American people on a course no other great country has been able to follow so faithfully. Fortunately for us all, the United States is still treading the path most of the time. Nowhere else on earth ecan a man roam about in a broad land as freely as here. He doesn’'t need the government’s permission to travel, to move, or to change jobs, America hasn’t allowed barriers to arise between its far-flung and widely dissimilar regions. On the vast stage of its 3,000,000-square-mile expanse, a man can work out his own individual destiny in endlessly varied ways. To be sure, sharp inequalities of economic oppor= tunity sometimes narrow the breadth of his free dom. But no one who understands the American ideal seeks to preserve these. The nation’s goal is to wipe them out, Where we seem to have strayved most from our course is in safeguarding a nmran’s right to speak and think freely. Our Constitution glistens with language conceived to protect this right. But men in America are not using the privilege with the same assurance they once had. a We can thank world communism for that fact. Quite by design, it has spread fear and confusion in our midst. Many Americans, some genuinely trou bled, others merely bent on turning the menace to their own advantage, have helped to magnify these uncertainties. In our present bewildered state, we watch too calmly as suspicion of disloyalty is cast recklessly on innocent individuals, Every time an innocent mran is spattered with mud, the area of our free dom of thought constricts a little, For not many men will invite such abuse. Whether they are in the realm of government, of science, education, journalism, buginess or the arts, most men will tend to be a bit less bold and imagi native in their thinking, a little more cautious in what they do, in whom they see, in where they go. Projects that call for unfettered minds will not so easily be brought to fruition. America's greatness was not nurtured in the un wholesome soil of suspicion, Freedonr cannot be fed by hate and fear, it will languish in their presence. The threat of communism notwithstanding, we must protect a man’s right to think and speak freely. That’s what we declared our independence for in 1776, and that's what we still stand for. France Can't Afford Skitfish Politics in a Troubled World The French Socialists caused the fall of Premier Georges Bidault’s government, Theay withdrew their backing from the coalition of parties he headed. Their action could hardly have come at a worse time. On the one hand, Korea is aflame with war and the western nations must undertake important de cisions to combat Russian aggression there, On the other, six-nation parleys on the French-sponsored plan for a pool of Europe’s coal and steel resources are just warming up. No doubt the French are long since weary at be ing lectured by Americans on how to conduct their affairs. They have to take enough of it as a neces sary accompaniment of the economic and military aid they get from us. But apparently the facts of life in 1950 just won’t sink in over there. In bygone days the world looked with amusement upon the frequent flip-flops of French premiers. It was-something like the regular | Monday morning revolution in a Latin American country. E There’s no humor in this sort of performance in today’s troubled world; nor is there evidence of po litical maturity in it. The French still seem to think they are playing some kind of child’s game—musi cal chairs with the premier’s seat the prize, Any seasoned politician in any of the free nations ought to know that the great conflict raging with the Soviet Union (the Cold War) cannot be won unless a solid front is maintained continuously. And sol idity demands stability. Stable government is a circumstance France has seldom enjoyed. But it is one she had best set about achieving soon if she wants to be taken seriously in the 1950 world, There is no room in the grim age for three to six mronths’ flyers in government. Who can count upon the word of a premier whose power may be stripped away tomorrow? Apparently the mercurial French are not going to be herded into a few large parties each of which might be capable of governing France alone. In stead they are sticking to their old habit of split ting off into many parties, none strong enough to rule and some so small their membership would hardly fill a singie hall. Perhaps therefore the French should adopt a con stitutional limitation on the frequency with which governments may be overthrown. It might be pro vided, for example, that any premier could not be ousted within Jess than a year of his taking office. The penalty for failure to achieve a substantial measure of political stability could well be the shunting of France to the minor councils of inter national action. The French may not have many more chances to prove they deserve a bigger role. We still stagger from crisis to crisis with the init iative left to the enemy. We still treat each coun try as a separate problem instead of as a part of a unified global strategy.—Elder Statesman Eernard Baruch. ' Let's Keep It Independent .

Her eyes were green and the data understated that her hair was red. The space reserved for occupation was blank. Con firming her identity were $450 worth of travelers’ chesks. “What are you doing so far from Cleveland, Miss Hillyer?” The green eyes stared at me in sullen resentment. This baby was going to be hard to handle. “Did you ever think of offering a lady a drink?” “00. K. Name it. — maybe I've got it.” She said she would settle for a bourben highball. I made the highball and poured a straight one for myself. I kept a wary eye on her the while, for I was taking no chances with this number. I took her the drink and handed it to her. I didn’t notice until she had it in her left hand that her right hand was concealed and that a foot was tucked back under the chair. Then it was too late. A wildcat couldn’® have been faster. She threw the contents of the glass into my face, and as I staggered, blinded and aware that I had fallen for the oldest trick in the world, she conked me with the heel of the slipper she had taken from her foot. . Later I woke up staring at the ceiling. My head ached mightly at the temple. 1 washed my .temple in shaving lotion, and it burned like fire. I walked out the back. way.and down the fire stairs knowing well enough that the red convertable would be gone. I had been out nearly an hour and a half. I walked down the alley. No taxi chose to come along at that mo ment, but a bus and I reached a stop at the same time, and I boarded it. I got off within a cou ple of blocks of the parking lot containing my car and walked to it. T headed for McGregor’s place My car is equipped with a short ‘wave radio, and I turned it on. It ‘was just possible that my failure ‘to show out at McGregor's and ar ‘rest the old manm would irritate Keever enough that he would put out a pick-up for me. There was a pick-up for me, all right, but it wasn’t the kind I'd thought.' It was a pick-up for murder. McGregor was dead, and I gathered from the headquarters syntax that I was 'wvanted for the job. W * * The juke box at the Wee Spot kept running full blast, for I kept feeding nickels into it. The pro prietor and his wife weren't lik ing it, for they wanted to listen to the radio on the bar. I didn’t want them to listen to it, and that’s why I kept playing all the loud pieces Railroad Schedules SEABOARD AIRLINE RY.

I was also eating sandwiches that tasted like paper sacks and drinking beer that was giving me a slighly groggy feeling. But it was the only way that I could keep on using this back-road beer joint as a hideout without stirring up the suspicion of the proprietor and his wife. ; Maybe they were suspicious anyway, but a customer is a cus tomer and business is business. While I'd been driving down the back alleys and country lanes try ing to ax%id the patrol cars I had picked up some more stuff about The State vs. Ben Corbett. I was in a jam this time, and it looked as if only the passing of a miracle would get me out of it.

I was no longer on the pay roll, for Keever had announced my suspension. I could hardly blame him. Shel ton had had to level, and the story of the four grand was enough to cook my goose. But when the four grand added up to the murder of poor old McGregor, Keever had a plain right to }osi his temper. * Any man with a sane mind would believe me guilty. McGreg or had threatened to expose my acceptance of bribe money i&‘l ar rested him, and I had chosén the one way out to prevent arresting him and the consequent exposure. I had sneaked back into the Mc- Gregor house, leaving my car in a back road and using the cover of the woodlot at the rear of the house. I had crept up on Shelton, knocked him out with a blow from my automatic, then gone up the stairs and shot McGregor in cold blood. I wondered if Shelton really ‘thought that. He had been men= tioned on the radio because of the assauit upon him and because of his statemenj thai McGregor had threatened me with exposure. He had been described as “a friend of the fugitive.” I thought that explained to Keever why I would pull anything so crude as sneaking in ané killing MecGregor with Shelton as a witness to McGrogor’s threat. Keever would think I had counted on Shelton’s friendship to keap him silent about that threat. Well, I wouldn’t have been that stupid.
