SPLENDID POLICE WORK. foo*n all appearances the mystery of the brutal mur der of Peter Careftas, prominent G*reek-American resident of Sa vannah, is wived and the case about to be marked finis as far as the Chatham County Police are concerned. The men of this or ganization assigned to thas case, one of Hie most brutal murders in crime annals of the county, faced perhaps the most tmsnr mountable odds which have ever befallen the lot of a local po lice organization to overcome. Balked at every turn by lacK of evidence and witnesses who knew absolutely nothing about t-he actual slaying, the police froti our oounty organization went ahead and today are sure they have solved the oase. The result is that there are three men in jafl at the present time. One, the alleged self-confessed killer of Carellas; the second, a brother and accomplice, and the remain ing prisoner, a self-confessed witness to the dastardly deed. It was only by the persistent efforts of the police that the alleged murderer was apprehended. It was only by the untiring zeal and self-sacrificing ideals of the force that the case was ap parently solved and the alleged murderer safe behind bars. This clearly shows to the public at large the smooth working in ner functions of our highly organized group of Chatham county officers. It is not to be wondered that the crime ratio for the county is always at a low ebb? The public clearly realizes the intrinsic value of this organization and In tribute to the men who made it possible that the mystery killing be solved, they pay their highest compliments. Peter Carellas was a highly respected Greek citizen of this community, a man whose ideals and principles have always been of the highest, and whose unfailing zeal placed him high in the hearts of the local civic leaders for his never ending flow of per sonality and unselfish devotion to the city which was his home. The Savannah Daily Times wishes to congratulate the Chatham County Police Department along with the plaudits of the city at large for what we hope is the solving of this crime, and wish to bestow the very best wishes of the citizens of the city and county on the police for their efficient and untiring work.

Editor The Daily Times,: As a visiting troubadalir, I have spent one of the most enjoyable weeks of my life in this historic old city. In no other city of its size in the United States does one find such magnificent parks and playgrounds. The founders of the city were men of broad vision and constructive minds- The monuments are works of the finest artists of their day. ’Tis a note worthy thing to dedicate monuments so heroic and finer still to those of Contract Bridge GAME ONLY AT DIAMOND* West bid and made 4-Spades, but he should not have done so. This feat was due, not to declarer’s good judgment and play, but to the open ing lead of North’s Ace of hearts, en abling declarer to escape with a loss of two heart tricks and a single spade trick. An opening lead of a low heart, a low club or North’s lone trump would have defeated the spade con tract. Perhaps partner’s double of North’s overcall of 2-Clubs, when West made an opening bid of 1-Spade, threw West off, whereas East’s bid of 2- Diamonds, over the 2-Club6 might have appeared stronger. In any event West refused to support his partner’s diamonds, even though East ran the bidding to 4-Diamonds. * 2 k-- ?a j 9 if a ♦ None ,+ KJ 8 7 6 &2 ♦ A Q J ’ 4 None 10 98 „ ITm-I 1 * 8G r f fKQ72\ y * ♦ A K 10 ♦ J B t[ V 96 6 4 None —&-J A * 10 9 4 . */ ♦K76 5 4 3 V 10 4 ♦Q4 3 2 ♦ Q With East playing the hand at 5- Diamonds, South has a choice of four opening leads.

But where are the monuments to your ports? In vain did I look for a bust of the world’s master spirit of his day, that sirfoMme poet, artist, Sidney lanier.

The Marshes of Glynn are not far distant and so charmingly did he write of them. May I suggest that your next monu ment be dedicated to Sidney Lanier. His memory will live when mortal heroes are long forgotten. The Song of the Chattahoochee, The Hills of Habersham, The Valley of Hall, and Into the Woods my Mas ter Went have a spark of the divine and how well he sensed the injustice of his day. His poem “Com” cries out against the vicious system. Noth ing is lost that’s wrought in tears. The music that he made beloved is now the music of the spheres.

A spade lead wil lenable declarer to at once dis card two clubs, with South able to win only his Q of diamonds. Declar er will win 5-odd, losing a single heart and single diamond. If instead of leading back a spade, when North 1s in with hs Ace of hearts, he leads a heart, dummy will al once gain lead, and the discard of one club on dum my’s Ace of spades and the cross ruff will follow, just as if North had led back a spade. A return of a club will result just as it did with a re turn lead of a spade or heart. No re turn lead by North can defeat 5-Dia monds. An opening lead by South of either a low trump, high trump or a clui will enable declarer to flfill his con tract, just as an opening lead o! either a low spader or the 10 of hearts worked out. In case South chooses to ruff the second lead of clubs with his Q, then leads a diamond, he cannot defeat the contract, as dummy will have one les6 club to ruff, and so will not mind the tramp lead.

STEWART Cntral Press Staff Writer PHILADELPHIA, June 23—Arriv ing in Cleveland just before the be ginning of the republican convention, I found an atmosphere of discour agement overshadowing the whole G. O. P. situation. The delegates’ obvious impression was that they were putting up a tic ket to be defeated to a oertainty. Since then the G. O, P. has chirk ed up amazingly. It doesn’t exactly expect to win but it seems to begin to feel that it stands a chance. * * * Another Tune At the same time that Republican hopes have been on the bulge, Demo cratic hopes have been on the wane. The Democrats don’t think that they will be beaten indeed but they recognize defeat as a possibility. Landon is recognized as the best nominee the Republicans could have chosen. Farley’s blundering is begin ning to sink hi. Cummings has made matters worse by his dismissal of income tax suits in Louisiana. Business has improved but is still anti-administrationistic.

They are saying what the nation ought to hear.’’ Yes, that is true. But this writer does hear. He meets hundreds of per sons in all walks of life. Others cor respond with him. And newspaper men in many communities forward their thoughts. This column tries to convey that thought; daily. But it is difficult for 127,000,000 persons to put their thoughts into a cohesive whole. A nation as large as this is a mosaic, each unit of differ ent design. * * * Youth Radicalism in the United states will not spring from works or Reds, remarks the San Francisco man. He adds: “It will spring from the millions of unemployed youth. “They, eventually, will demand a future—or make it for themselves.” There you have in two sentences the problem of America’s future. This post-depression period has been one similar to the post-war period. Then, old men drew the Versailles treaty. Only hate sprang from it. To day, old men try to fit laws to a tremendous cosmic emergency. And the law’s dam that which should flow freely. In the end, dams burst—and there is havoc, and much is lost. • * • Which Direction? The question no longer is, “Will youth seize control?” It will. We shall die off, youth will step up. The question is, “Which way will youth go—right, toward fascism, of left, toward a broad socialism?” Men discuss that in clubs, and quail. There is no need to quail. Meet youth face to face, speak in realistic terms. There still is time—the San Fran cisco man remarks—to give youth a square deaL (P. S.: The man from San Fran cisco is not a young man.) * * * Realistic Approach Americans shrink from a realistic MyNew York By James Aswell (Copyright, 1936, Central Press As sociation) NEW YORK, June 23.—The con cerns which rent dress suits and top hats are zooming back to prosperity. I passed an old-established shop in Second avenue a few nights ago at dusk and saw a band of thirty or forty olive-skined and husky gentle men emerge resplendent in rented finery and toppers. An Italian wed ding was scheduled. The proprietor, who bowed his clientele lout* stood behind giving his hands the satisfied dry-wash. I asked him how business was and he beamed answer that business was dou ble what it was year before last. This despite the fact that the town’s uppity crowd, which wears lbs own togs, actually is discarding the convention slowly. Every year you see fewer dinner jackets and fewer “white tie” ensembles. The top hat, before long, will be extinct except upon the heads of diplomats and politicoes. Yet the foreign element, enormous in New York, pays no attention to these shifts. It likes to have its wed dings and funeral in the grand man ner and the result is that the rental racks get a heavy play. Not a few relief checks, I am told, have found their way into the coffers of the full dress lessors . * * * Now the showboats which ply the surrounding river waters are bidding for the night club trade, and getting a healthy hunk of it. They have, it may interest you to know, adopted a different and ingenious tack this year. It’s “the ocean cruise for the man without much money” angle these nights, and the tinkly barges have installed much of the equipment of the transatlantic giants. Bingo, checkers, backgammon, shuffleboard, potato races, turtle races and all man ner of similar salty diversions, just as on the ocean palaces, have been provided—along with the hoopla of the sip-and-tap salons. * * * Ely Culbertson, who made millions out of a pack of cards, passed through here the other day on his way to Eu rope. I saw him in the foyer of a theater at the entr’act, smoking long, thin, imported cigarettes in a long, thin, imported holder. Culbertson, who has the reputation of being a cross and crochety gentle man, quick to explode at the bridge table, is actually a calm and perfectly composed person. His flyers in tempe rament —usually when the reporters ’ are on hand—are on a par with La Garbo’s melodramatic flights from the i scribbling lads. Publicity. * * ♦ The recent passing of G. K. Ohes- I terton was being bemoaned by a group the other night and various of his legends were being recalled. Someone mentioned the critique of a London newspaper at the height of G. K.’s boisterous prime, which ran: “G. K. Chesterton is suffering from hearty degeneration of the fat.” < Another commentator pointed out < that Chesterton was in the modem f literary tradition of embracing the Catholic faith in middle life. So many writers in the last decade have done this. Ernest Hemingway, Jean Coc teau, T. S. Eliot and Joyce Kilmer are a few instantly called to mind. The scsholarly reader will no doubt think of others. approach to problems. That is, if one judges by political speeches and radio talks. Soothsaying seems to be a welcome drug. Or maybe it isn’t? But listen to the speeches and talks —and is it any wonder youth turns away in despair? Universities are turning out men in large numbers. Those men desire jobs, not dicta on rights or freedom or constitutionality. They must live. They desire homes, families, life. That is normality. Anything that obstructs it is abnormality—no mat ter what some Elders may say. Yes, indeed, this writer has spoken with many young men. He knows what they are saying. Political leaders, business rulers and editors would find it wise to com mune with these young men. Other wise, we may have a tragic decade. For the folly of Versailles is being repeated by the Elders—in the opin ion of Youth. Not In the News By WORTH CHENEY OUR RECENT column on the le gend of the “Triple Warning” (has its sequel in this unusual folk story, which may or may not be of Ameri can origin. This legend also is re lated by C. David Vormelker, writer for Central Press Association, who is the source for the previous story. This story concerns the experience of a young man who was driving home alone in his car. It was autumn and the streets were wet and slippery from a heavy rain that had been fall ing during the evening. « The hour was late and the traffic was thinning out fast. Finally he not iced a complete absence of anyone on the streets, either walking or driving. He approached traffic lights with monotonous regularity, and al though tempted to ignore them, he stopped at each one. In a suburban section of the city, where no street cars or busses were available, he again was stopped by a light. Great was his astonishment and surprise when, as he happened to glance toward the curb, he noticed a girl standing in the rain without a raincoat or hat. Her predicament was obvious, so he decided to be a good Samaritan and take the girl to her home.. He opened the door and, leaning out, asked the stranger if she wished to be driven home. At first she shook her head, but at his insistence finally came forward and stepped into the rear seat . His surprise at finding a girl of her bearing and appearance standing out in a pouring rain at such a late hour grew to astonishment when he touch ed the girl’s arm to assist her into the car. It was then that (he noticed her dress and her hair were as dry as the sands of the Sahara, apparently untouched by the driving rain. When he inquired as to where she wished to go, she gave him the ad dress in a calm, but somev :-t queer voice. As they drove along, our ad venturer attempted to make conver sation, but try as he would, he re ceived no answer. Feeling a bit chag rined that the girl wouldn’t evince enough interest in him even to reply yes or no to his remarks, he turned sharply to rebuke her. But his trifling anger disappeared and gave way to amazement and fear when he looked around. The rear seat was empty— his passenger had disappeared. Perspiration broke out in beads upon his forehead. He stopped car and looked out. He looked all around the machine and in every direction, but nothing was to be seen of her. Puzzled and frightened, he climbed back into the car wondering what he should do. Finally he decided to go to the address she had given him and try to solve the mystery her disap pearance had created. He doubted if there was such an address and was surprised when he found there was. It was a large (house with a wide veranda. He left his car on the street, walked to the door and pressed the bell button. It was but a minute or two before a handsome, white-haired gentleman, dressed in formal evening clothes, opened the door. He managed to stammer out his story to the old gentleman, and then inquired if the young girl belonged there. “Yes,” said the man in a calm, de liberate voice, “that was may daugh ter. “She was killed in an accident sev eral years ago at the very spot you met her this evening, and on this very date. Since that time, every year she appears at that spot on this date and starts her journey home again, but ” and tears came to the man’s eyes—“sihe never gets here.” You’re Telling Me?

Usually, when a man or a woman says that, it’s said defiantly, in re bellion . A man’s fed up with his obliga tions and responsibilities. A woman’s had enough qf the re strictions upon her and hates being "tied down.” So they are going to file the chains and throw them away and for all future time, to the end of their days, do just as they please. But it can’t be done. Not without moving to an unin hbited island in the South Seas and being all by yourself; and even there you might be haunted by the things and the people you’ve left behind, the things you are leaving undone, the people who need! you. If you were the last man or woman on earth you might live your own life, but it wouldn’t be much of a life. In a selfish way, no human being can live his own life. . . . That sort of thing is finished, entirely. We are all deeply dependent on what other men, long dead, have done to make this life that is ours today. And so much that we do now is dependent on what other men and women, all around us, are doing. We are safe because the overwhelming majority of other human beings are decent or kind. We are comfortable because unseen millions do their job and live THEIR lives in an orderly and civil ized fashion. We CAN live our own lives, to be sure, but they must be bound up with the lives of others and cannot be cut or disentangled. This isn’t theory, this isn’t emo tion. Nor is it preaching. It is as true as the multiplication table, as inexorable, as matter of fact. . , . If you don’t believe it, TRY to live your own life, all by yourself.
