Want to start a private war?
Uncle Sam will provide the
planes, and at a modest
price.
The four planes sold the
Costa Rican government were
valued at some $2,000,000. j
They netted Uncle Sam $4.00.'
There will be little opposi-
tion to the sale. If, for the gift:
of four airplanes we can stay
out of the conflict and let
Costa Rica .fight her own;
war, we think the decision a
wise one.
^ Jf,
Open house is to be observ- j
ed this evening by members,
of the John C. French and
Park Schools Parent-Teach-1
er Associations, the event j
slated for the activity build-,
ing.
The affair is planned as a
feature of “Texas Schools
Week,” and is to be hoped |
that a big turnout of parents J
will be on hand. Each and;
every one of us should make
an effort to visit one of our;
schools this week, see classes I
in session, meet the teachers. ‘
Teachers, we feel, would ap-
. predate closer contact with
parents. Many little problems, ,
some big problems, would be
much easier to work out if
teacher and parents were in
closer Contact.

Governor Allan Shivers has,
recomihcnded a fifty per cent
increase in State Highway ;
Patrolmen.
Here is one suggestion
we'll go for.
After seeing the4 efficiency j
of highway patrolmen in this
city, we believe they can get
the job done.

A man in New York who
served seven and
years in prison for a
he did not commit has been
waiting more than three
years on his plea that his
name be cleared.
His case was one of the
rare instance in which mis-
taken identity resulted in an,
innocent man being convicted. [» s
Another man confessed to the
crime and the innocent man
was released. A Federal Judge
called the case a miscarriage
of justice and recommended
that executive clemency be
granted as quickly as possible
so that the mistake could be
rectified as far as possible.
That was in 1951. No official
action has yet been taken.
In the interest of justice,
in fairness to a man who was
the victim of a terrible mis-
take, some action should be
taken and taken without fur-
ther delay. The United States
pardon Attorney's office has
