Like us of the free world, the people of Czechoslovakia have no reason to weep at this death of a tyrant’s willing tool. Unfortun ately, however, Gottwald’s passing no more means the end of Com munist enslavement in Prague than did Stalin’s death end the bondage in Moscow. The new rulers in the Kremlin have an abundance of am bitious would-be Gaulieten from whom to select their new chief puppet in Czechoslovakia. The competition between these ambit ious figures may well even worsen the present oppression. This possibility is not heartening; yet there is a symbolic import to this latest death which can help fortify our optimism for the future.

Its general manage^ is a powerful member of the Legislature. -Do state officials know what con tracts and commitments Santee- Cooper has made? Do they know whether Santee is a department of state government or an indepen dent public corporation? Does any body know? Who authorized Santee-Cooper to borrow $14 million from Wall Street to build a steam plant? Who makes its rates and supervises its services? These and other business of what is supposed to be a public agency are carried on in strict pri vacy. The privately owned public utilities are not allowed privacy. The words “public” and “private” have got so mixed up that they no longer make sense. Santee-Cooper is almost the private property of its management—much more free ly operated than the privately fi nanced power companies. If Santee-Cooper had been a pri vate company of equal capitaliza tion, it would have paid taxes in the years of its operation totaling $25 million to state, • county and federal treasuries.
