• City TeachersDiscuss MeansOf Hiking PayHave Sought AidOn City, CountyAnd State Levels

ASK PUBLIC SUPPORT

The teachers of the Fulton

city schools met last week to

discuss ways and means of in-

creasing teachers' salaries for

the coming year. This is the

third such meeting held recently,

and the teachers feel that this

problem should be brought to

the attention of the citizens of

The first move that the local

teachers made was to petition

the board of education, the

mayor, the council and the Fut-• ton county board of equaliza-

tion for assistance Oovenior

Willis also was asked to call a

special session of the legista-

lure to provide additional money

from surplus fund in the state

treasury. Since this is a state-

wide problem and the legislature

is the lawfully elected body tomake such funds available, the

teachers felt that this was the

proper procedure to take.

The governor has declined to

call a special session and showed

little or no interest in the wel-

fare of the schools of the state,"

Fulton teachers said. The

mayor and the city council re-

sponded to the petition by say-

ing that this matter was out of

their jurisdiction. The county

board of equalization did not

take any action in the matter.

The teachers feel that the

board of education is in sympa-

thy with their request and un-

derstand that there Is an urgent

need for salary adjustment. They

airs° realize the limitations of

the law in this matter, but if

isiljocal agencies will cooperate.

the Ideal sources of revenue can

be brought in line with prevail-

ing economic conditions."Not only are the salaries of

.Fulton teachers inadecuate, but

ers is grave danger that our

Is may lose their rating

In the Southern Association

oft Colleges and Secondat y

Schools. This would mean that

our boys and girls would not be

admitted to first class colleges

and universities without en-

trance examinations, and var-

ious opportunities would be

withheld because of the lower

rating.The schools belong to the

people of Fulton. The teachers

are the tools to accomplish what

you desire for your children.

There seems little likelihood

that the state will give more as-

sistance; therefore, this problem

Is local."It Ls the earnest desire of the

teachers to save Fulton schools

from the calamity that may be-

fall them unless the citizens of

Fulton use to the occasion, as

they have always done, and join

in a concerted effort to meet

this emergency."

Ship Blows Up At Texas City; I south Futtoil

First Reports Say 200 Are Dead 1441 6irl8 it•

Texas City, Tex.--ata--At least 200 persons were killed in an

explosion that razed this city of 15,000 today. Hundreds, maybe

thousands, were haituad in worst disaster of its type ever tll strike

the coast.Albert Nichols, Harris county sheriff's office dispatcher at

Houston, said he had intercepted a radio call from Texas City Oft-

emit to Fort Crockett, Galveston, that poison gas fumes were infil-

trating the c:ty. Officials urged all gas masks available be maned

to the disaster scene.

The Galveston Tribune estimated the dead and injured, It

rand o:.e of its reporters saw at least 75 dead in one spot.

The explosion originated in the Grand Camp, French ship, and

caused a chain of explosions at nearby industrial plants.

The fire still was raging at noon, three hours later, and the

TrIbuae said city was almost leveled.

The first blasts shattered windows in Galveston. 12 miles across

the bay, arid forced many persons to flee from buildings. A hugs

cloud of smoke was visible at Galveston. Plaster fell from ceilings ,

and many persons thought there had been an earthquake.

Police Chief W. F. Laddish of Texas City sent an appeal for ad

poss.ble aid saying a "holocaust" was raging in the city.

"There is no way to estimate the killed and ir.jured," he said.

"Huadreds of people were working on the dock at the time of the ,

explosion.Spontaneous combustion was believed the cause of the blast,'

the Coast Guard said.

State Should Have Tax On Pari.Mutuel Betting Waterfield SaysA state tax on part-m[1'11e' bet-

ting at Kentucky race tracks as

a means of producing additional

revenue to meet state needs was

advocated by Harry Lee Water-

field, candidate for the Demo-

cratic nomination for goaesror,

in a statement released Tues-

day night.Waterfield and that a five per

cent tax on race track betting I

would produce approximately I

*1.250.000 annually, and that ad-

ditional state income will be

needed for improved education

and other state needs after the I

present state surplus has been,

expended.He also recommended adjust-

ments in the state taxes on in- I

tangibles and inheritances as ameans of attracting new capital

into Kentucky for a development

of industries.Complete Text

The full text of Waterfield's

statStnent follows:"I had planned to discuss the

entire tax structure in announc-

ing my complete platform at a

later date. However, since the

pari-mutuel tax question has I

already been raised, I have no:

hesitancy in saying at this time I

that I favor a tax on pari-mu-

tuels in a fair and equitable

measure and in Just proportion

to the tax burden. I think this

tax should be sufficient to be of

substantial assistance to the

state in carrying out her added

commitments through increased

appropriations for education and

other governmental services Atax of five per cent on pari-mu-

tuels would yield a minimum of

$1.250,000."It is my policy to favor a

tax on luxuries rather than up-

on necessities, and certainly

pari-mutuels come in the form-

er class. It is certainly a volun-

tary or self-imposed tax.Won't Hurt Racing

"I do not, by any means, de-sire to cripple the racing indus-

try in Kentucky. A paH-mutuel

tax win no more discourage rac-

ing than the gasoline tax dis-

courages travel. In fact, I thinkthose interested in the racing

industry should want to pay 4fair tax and thus feel that their

business is making another con-

tribution to the welfare of all

Kentuckians."The enactment of a fair and

equitable tax on pari-mutuels,

sufficient to be of great assist-

ance in carrying out the state's

increased responsibilities andcommitments to education winch

I shall advocate, will be justified

when the present cash surpati

has been exhausted."I do not believe the state has

the right to extract from the

people more money than is re-

quired to provide essential gov•

ernmental services However,

Kentucky has not provided es-

sential educational services to!

her youth, nor adequate salaries

for her teachers. I propose that,

this shall be done"In the years immediately

ahead should the state's revenue

from present sources deoreaae,

as the state's added responsihill-ties increase, to the point that,

our surplus fund would be dis-

sipated and new money neectsd.

I think the pari-mutuel tax is,

as near to being a Just and pain-

less tax as may be devised. I am

certain that in the years imme-

diately ahead Kentucky will

need more money with which to

meet the growing demands for a

progress in all fields of service

too long delayed in this com-

monwealthRevenue Needed

pose to carry forward a construe-

will require additional revenge.

I cannot. nor would I, agree for

the additional revenue required

to be laid upon the backs of al

ready overburdened sources so

long as there are saincea that

may well, and without hurt, con-tribute to the neceasities and

general welfare of our people. Apari-mutuel tax will to no wise

be inimical or preitidlcial to the

racing or horse breeding indus-

try. Such it tax is part of the

revenue structure of all otherstates wherein pari-mutuel Bye-

terns are legalized."Chancing one's judgment on

a horse race is essentially asport. Since the state long agolegalized the opportunity to en-gage, or indulge, in this grati-fication, certainly no sportsman

tionsly divided against itself, there is aweakness in the military defense—not tomention the Good-Neighbor policy—ca thegreat bloc of nations comprielne the We ;t-ern Hemisphere.

This is due to a lack of solleanty wheelnas evinced itself especially in Inc clash ofviews between the Argentine asd Washine-ton. The American government more th inonce has charged Argentina with foster:eatotalitarian Nazism and has demanded thatthis influence be eliminated. Relations be-twe.n the two countries have been etraiiied.and this has been reflected in the attitedeeof other Pan-American countries.The result of this unhappy situation has

been that the program for inter-Americandefense, which was projected in the Act ofChapuletepec in 1945, has not been ratified.This sweeping defense plan. which was toencompass both continents, was to be for-malised in a meeting at Rio de Janeiro.and that parley still awaits a reapproache-ment which will bring the great Argentineback into the union.Since General Peron came to the presi-

dency last year. tle( Argentine has announc-ed moves which his government cited asaimed at meeting the demand for eradica-tion of Nazism in the country, and this hasgiven rise to some hope that a solution ofthe difficulty was on its way. And now Sena-tor Vandenberg. chairman of the Senate(Foreign Relations Committee, has made aspeech which is widely interpreted as a press-ing invitation to the Argentine to bury thepast and get back into the fold.The Senator was addressing the goy:ril-

ing board of the Pan-American Union inWashington last Monday—Pan AmericanDay. He made a strong plea for hemisphericsolid:ray—not his first such appeal, by heway—and in the course of this said amongother things:"If and when there are any unfortunate

lapses in our close and friendly relation-ships, it is a necessity of the first magnitudethat such a situation shall be swiftly andequitably cured. Pan-Americanism is apartnership affair, cooperation is the key-note of the lieitmericas. Consultation—notdictation—is the indispensable means to thisend."This address has given rise to much specu-

lation in Washington diplomatic quarterswhether the State Department might befiguring on some fresh effort to solve theArgentine problem. However, the coneeneusseems to be that if any new step is to be tak-en it will likely await the return of Secretaryof State Marshal from Moscow. MeantimeSenator Vandenberg's speech is taken tostand as an exceptional gesture of appeal toArgentina.But the Senator didn't stop with Pan-

American solidarity. He urged Canada tojoin the American republics and occupy theseat which was provided for her when" thePan American union was founded 57 years ago."I express the wish," said Vandenberg

"that the time may soon come when ourcontinental fellowship will be georgraphi-(ally and spiritually complete through as-sociation with Us, on some appropriate basis,of the great and splendid dominion of Cana-

Many observers take that to be a logicalinvitation. Canada, while a member of theBritish Commonwealth of Nations, is a sov-ereign state, no longer responsible to Ella-land. She is free to join the Pan-Americanunion of the 21 republics if she so choose. Shealready has agreed to participation with theUnited States In a military defense program.

By EEL SENSING

Once upon a time there watlittle instrument that sat uponmy desk. IL seas such a prettylittle thing, all black and shiny.It had a place I could speak into,and it had a place I could putto my ear and listen to voicesspeaking. (It had a cord thatwas always becomilie twisted,but I'll not speak of that here- -I have been taught not to saybad things abuia, the tissels

With that little instrument atmy elbow I had the lesling thatI was close to the rest of theworld. I could pick ii up andspeak to anyone in Felton, or Icould put through a call to anypart of the state, or the whole'country, for that matter. It we:a comforting thought. even, teknow that I could get thoughto London, or Faris, or Roma.it I wanted to do so. I neve.wanted to, but it was a com-forting thought just the same.To tell the truth, I didn't makeas many local calls as I'm be-ginning to think I did—but itwas a mighty comforting thoughtto know that I could call andtalk till my heart was content.The best thing of all about

that little instrument--and thething I miss most of all—was alittle bell that was hidden some-where inside of it. That bellemade a lovely sound. It wouldring (yes, that is a fact, therewas a time when it would ring)and I would pick up the littleinstrument It felt so good whenI put it to my ear. I always knewa voice was going to say "hello",but I liked to hear it just thesame. I'd put the speaking endto my mouth—and, nine timesout of ten. I'd say "hello", too.It made no difference. though.I am one of many millions wholike to say "hello". That way aconversation was easy to start.

Those were wonderful days. IIused to thank Alexander Gra-ham Bell every time I had oc-casion to speak over his inven- 'tion—or was it Don Ameche? AsI said in the beginning, all ofthis was once upon a time --hlong, long time ago. Since then,1sad days have come upon us.,While we were all waiting to be-gin living in the atomic age'something happened early onemorning before most of us wereup, and we found ourselves back:in the dark ages. Today that lit-tle instrument sits there upon ,my desk as silent as the dead.1long since buried and gone far,away. It sits there and mocksme.The strangest thoughts go

through my head when I Con-sider its silence. I don't know ifI want the thing to ring, or tokeep silent. It would scare mehalf to death, if it sounded off. 1I hope those emergency opera-'toes they have working nowdon't get any wrong numbers.In fact, I hope they don't cal!my number. I don't wish to be-come involved in any emergency.—the last one I got mixed up inthey kept me away from homefor nearly five years. I don'twant anything they are callingabout these days: I don't wanta fire; I don't want any sick-ness or death; I don't want thepolice—just about anything Icould get on that instrument Idon't want.I wouldn't touch the thing for

a million dollars—not since ihave memorized that cute littlespeech I heard when I lustpicked it up after it went dead.I can't imagine wanting any-thing to happen to me that wouldallow inc to speak into thatlittle speaking piece about it.

I look at that little instruiners,and I call It names. It was awonderful invention. I dilietknow how wonderful it vets. Itssilence brings to mind the oldproverb about "never missingthe water till the well goes diy."I'm going to hush talking aisoutthe thing. It makes me angry tothink about it.As far as I am concerned,

whoever put it in can comearound and take it out.
