THE GOVERNOR’S VETO
Our ihat is off to Governor Thurmond, for he met
his first test with the legislature by vetoeing the reso
lution passed by both houses of the assembly which
would have postponed compulsory auto inspection for
another year.
In his veto message the governor said that if
inspection of motor vehicles saved but one life during
the year, it was worthwhile. In this connection he
cited many accidents of the past year, due it is
claimed, to defects in cars.
. This newspaper believes that the time has ar
rived to resume inspection, halted during the war.
This paper believes that every car using the public
highways should have good lights, a horn, good brakes
and safe steering apparatus.
It is gratifying that Governor Thurmond regards
public lives above petty politics. For that is just what
the delayed inspection is—cheap politics.
RUSSIA A DANGEROUS THREAT
* • •
For over a year now, we have experienced gen
uine alarm over the Russian sittiation. Some of our
friends have agreed with us but there have have been
many others who regarded us as an alarmist. They
"pooh-hooed the idea of war with Russia.
Now that Ambassador Bullitt, who knows the
Russian people and administration, has spoken out,
we are, frankly speaking, scared.
Mr. Bullitt bluntly told a congressional coinmittee
that if Russia had had the atomic bomb, they would
have dropped several on us long before this.
Mr. Bullitt said that Russia plans to conquer this
country and the world. We believe he speaks a truth.
We admit we are scared. * '
OUR MIND IS MADE UP
The Chronicle has always stood for the city man
ager form of city government.
We believe that a well-paid, competent expert in
charge of city affairs would not only be the ideal set
up for Camden, but it would promote the growth of
the community immeasurably.
The city manager form of government program
has been mentioned a number of times, but as yet we
have hot' seen anj^ing of a definite nature shaping
up. The first step, in our opinion, would be an enabling
act by the state assembly, whereby Camden could sub
mit the matter to a public referendum.
Let us show that all this talk about the city-man
ager form of city government is not idle chatter.
