Forgot Something
BUFFALO, N. Y., May 27.—(P)
—For more than four months,
George Filsinger, 16, and his eight-
year-old brother Allan worked on
a home-made 12-foot sailboat and
dreamed of their first cruise.
Yesterday they launched the
craft, climbed in, hoisted sail, and
were promptly spilled into Buffalo
river—they had neglected to pro-
vide the boat with a keel.

TO THE REPORTER NEWS:
I am wondering if the good peo-
ple of Abilene are going to let the
Wendell Bedichek’s babeling ar-
ticles in the first column of the
evening edition Abilene Reporter-
News influence them into letting a
dictator take charge of the city
affairs. This country gave over a
million men just recently to take
out of circulation three leaders of
such operations and we should see
that no such animal bobs up here
in Abilene In the past, I have
lived in two towns where they had
City Managers and, believe me,
they are the bullies and do not
hesitate to let you know they are
the BOSS. If you are of their
Click and Clan, you can get any-
thing the city has from the foun-
dation of the City Hall to the pul-
ley on the flag pole, but if not of
his Click you are just out of luck.
On some occasions, I have wanted
to discuss civic affairs with the
City Manager and he would be
playing golf with a group of supply
salesmen and racketeers who had
something to sell and, in one in-
stance, they had a hard time keep-
ing one out of the penitentiary.
Abilene has made a nice little
city with its present form of gov-
ernment, not that it is perfect. We
have four considerate and very
conservative commissioners, each
owns his home here, each has
reared his family here, and I per-
sonally know they will go out of
their way to be accommodating to
each individual regardless of color
or creed and can be talked with at
any time, day or night, regarding
city affairs and they are nice about
it—which is certainly not the case
with one of these “highly trained
City Managers" operating our city
from a handbook published by
some eastern syndicate telling how
we should live in Abilene.
The present City Commission
has, in spite of the war that has
had first place in everything, ex-
panded every branch of the City's
affairs, many miles of streets have
been improved and graveled, thou-
sands of loads of unsightly limbs
and trees have been trimmed and
hauled away, many aharp corners
of paved streets have been cut
back ao that the danger has been
removed, water and newer lines
have been extended miles, filtera-
tion facilities have been doubled,
parks and water fronts on the city
lakes have been cleaned up and
improved ao that the public can
use them, police and fire depart-
menu have been increased as the
heads of those departments have
asked for, additional lands for two
of the schools have been acquired,
paying the high prevailing prices
for auch lands, delinquent taxes
are lower than ever known to be.
We are now ready to ask for a
bond issue to carry on the city im-
provemenU, such as schools, street
pavings, sewer and water exten-
sions, addition to the city hall and
fire department, parks and other
needed improvements These
bonds cannot be voted if some
other matter overshadows them as
the City Manager matter now does.
The City Manager cannot provide
a slick dime for these improve-
ments, however, he can certainly
spend it and chances are we will
have to pay auditors and account-
ants more money to watch over our
pocketbook than we pay the City
Manager.
It is up to the taxpayers. They
are not going to vote bonds for im-
provements with one man doing
the spending, so if we want to put
funds into the hands of our City
Commissioners (whoever they are)
let us sidetrack this City Manager
idea and increase our renditions
for 1946 by 33 percent or better.
We can do that and then not be
hurt. Our valuations are now
based on appraisals made in 1932.
There is not a single piece of prop-
erty here but what is worth from
100 percent to 500 percent more
than it is appraised. I am willing
to increase my rendition as sug-
gested. We now have a 16 per-
cent bonded debt No more can
be voted unless renditions are
increased.

Reds Hold Lead
In Czech Voting
PRAGUE, May 27—<«—Unoffi-
cial and incomplete returns from
yesterday’s general election bol
stered Communist hopes today for
a leftist majority in Czechosla-
vakia’s 300-seat national consti-
tuent assembly.
In general, the Communists were
leading in Bohemia-Moravia, but
were trailing the right-wing Demo-
cratic party in Slovakia.
However, the returns indicated
that Communists and the leftist
Social Democrats might be able to
muster a majority in the assembly,
which will elect a new president as
well as draft a constitution.
Showing unexpected strength,
the Communists chalked up a plu-
rality in Prague, upsetting the Na-
tional Socialists, former party of
President Eduard Benes.
