YE EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER WINS
As was generally expected, President Dwight D.
Lisenhower was re-elected on Tuesday, and by an even
larger majority than anticipated.
There , was no doubt about the President’s popular
ly* an ! with world conditions so unsettled, the nation
chose the man they believe best qualified to lead the
country at this time.
Mr. Eisenhower will have both a Democratic Senate
and Congress to work with. However the’ Democrats have
been somewhat cooperative with the president, and will
perhaps continue to do so, except when it comes to Civil
Rights. t
v
When President Eisenhower took office in 1952, he
had the war in Korea to de'al with. He was successful in
stopping the fighting.
At the present time the situation in the Middle East
is far from being peaceful. In fact, in our opinion, it is
war.
Israel and the Egyptians have been doing a lot of
fighting, and Britain and France have invaded Egypt,
gaining a foothold at the Suez, where they claim they are
policing the canal in the interest of the world; Russia has
invaded Hungary and killed numerous people.
The United Nations has done, and is doing all it can
to bring peace to this part of the world; but not all of the
participants involved are willing to abide by the United
Nations decision. Israel does not agree to the UN police
taking over in the Suez Canal. Britain and France agree,
conditionally.
The United States being at peace with the mid-east,
has an important role in restoring order. The nation and
the world have their eyes upon President Eisenhower.
The United States Military Commanders around the
world have been alerted, and the Navy has ordered a big
air strike force to sea as a precautionary measure.
President Eisenhower’s physician reported on Wed
nesday. that the President is in good physical shape.
Let us hope that the United Nations and Mr. Eisen
hower will be successful in avoiding another world war.
HOME RULE FOR DADE COUNTY
It is Home Rule for Dade County. At least the
amendment to the Florida Constitution enabling Dade
County to go ahead with the experiment passed by a good
majority.
In Dade County the vote was 82,204 to 33,542
against. Thus the 70-year-old constitution can now be
amended enabling Dade county to go ahead with its pro
gram for a Metropolitan Charter.
The Metropolitan Charter Board has already given
notice that it will lose no time in 'preparing a charter to
be sufbmitted to the voters for approval in the not distant
future.
Other amendments affecting Dade county passed by
the voters were:
No. I—Establishing three district appelate courts
courts and providing automatic retirement for judges at
70.
No. 4—Let the Legislature call itself into special ses
sion by three-fifths vote of both houses.
No. 7—Authorizing abolishment of office of school
trustee.
No. 9—Abolish office of county solicitor in Dade
County and transfer duties to the state attorney.
No. 11—Authorize the Legislature to establish civil
service systems for city, county and state employees.
Amendment No. 5, the 67-senator plan was defeated.

JUST BROWSIN'
•Y PAUL A. HENRY
At Delray Beach last Sunday a
iwimmlng pool was dedicated. It
was for Negroes and a compro
mise for a beach for them. They
had fought a good fight but was
on the losing end as far as a
beach was concerned. So they got
together with city officials and
some outside help and the pool is
the result.
Since a half loaf is better than
none at all, your Browser con
gratulates the Delrayans.
Rev. Edward T. Graham, pastor
of Mt. Zion Baptist Church were
among those participating in the
dedication ceremonies.
Representative Adam Clayton
Powell who supported President
Eisenhower, is reported to be con 7
sidering changing from the Demo

Nassau, Bahamas, continued to
increase its winter and other vis
itors. During the month of Octo
ber 8,280 travellers went by air
and sea. Up to the end of October
a record number of 131,835 visit
ed the island.
Gov. Laßoy Collins was elect
ed, but that is hardly news for his
defeat by his Republican oppon
ent was all but impossible.
We are all pleased that Rep.

ceived proved that there are a
plenty of people in Dade County
who recognize manliness and the
right of free speech without po
litical spite.
