Editor and Publisher UEORUE ARCHER. General Manager LAKE WORTH NOTES By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON Don't be fooled by all the hurrah, hullabaloo and headlines now coming out of the Justice 'Department's Anti-trust Division. Actually, the rash of anti-trust suits now splashed across the front pages don't mean much. Most of them were prepared two years ago by abler, more energetic Wendell Berge, predecessor of the new anti-trust chief. John Sonnett.

Take, for instance, indictment of real estate boards. Fourteen months ago, this same suit was recommended to Attorney General Tom Clark by Berge, but Clark vetoed it. Tangling with the real estate boys at that time wasn't popular. Now that President Truman has thrown the harpoon into the real estate lobby, however, the Justice Department has dusted off Berge's 14-month-old case and brought an indictment. Even so, the indictment doesn't mean too much.

For present anti-trust division chair-warmers pulled The indicted no individual real estate men, I W1LBIB ROYCE, Port-Times Correspondent Circulation, News and Advertising- 11 Reann Arcade Phone Ml A a new wall, recently built bv the town at the estate of Mrs. Flagler Matthews in return for a riRht-of-way, was partially tumbled over. Up and down the resort water front, bath houses and private cabanas were casualties of the storm, and it is doubtful if any remain undamaged, while many have vanished. In West Palm Beach, in addition to outside yard damage, roofs constituted the chief loss, especially on the small, cheaper type of houses, while officials gave credit on both sides of the lake to improved construction since 1928 for the small amount of struc completing arrangements lor providing permanent shelters for families left homeless by the storm, and the group's registration for rehabilitation and for providing food, and clothing to the homeless was being carried out. Here in West Paim Beach, 75 homeless families were being sheltered in the Methodist Church, which has been designated as a permanent shelter by the Red Cross.

Permanent shelter for local negro families has been set up at the Woman's Club and a number of families and homeless were being taken care of by the Red Cross.

At another place this one on Datura St. just west of the FEC tracks. Conyers found "a man standing in the lee of a doorway. The man was watching a broken store front nearby.

He asked Slim what he should do if anv attempts were made to loot the place. Conyers' answer was simple and direct: "If you haven't got a gun," he snapped, "take a club to anyone you catch trying that. Don't fool with 'em!" Then we went west to Rosemary and thence east on Clematis. And it was then I saw things I had never seen before and probably wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it. Store fronts were laid open to the weather as neatly as one could imagine.

Show window contents were strewn along the street. Glass littered the whole area and boards used in apparently hasty boarding up were scattered like big jack-straws in the wind. Some jewelry stores, their valuable contents probably thought safe, were wide open and in one instance Conyers told me of picking up a clock from the street some distance from the store from which he was sure it had been blown.

Other recent cases pulled out of the Berge hat are Eastman Technicolor, prepared 18 months ago, and the tire price-fixing conspiracy, prepared two years ago. Another important Case stilt not out of the hat is against Wall Street's investment bankers. This case was all set to go when Wendell Berge resigned, but six months have dragged by with nothing happening.

We hope that these will face Justice; and get it. To those remaining uncaujrht, we hope that these lines fall to your eye.

In all the scale of human depravity, there is no more revolting; inadequacy than you have displayed. Learn quickly to hate yourself, Mr. Looter. For if you can do less, there Is no room in human society for you. It has long been settled that the military should use their rifles when dealing with looters during disaster.

Gentle as we normally are, we relish that practice. There is small hope for a Society in which the impulse is to steal from an unfortunate rather than lend him a helping hand. Such looters are one in a thousand, but that is a percentage we should regard as a blot on the human species. A LONG LANE There is an old saying that it is a long lane which has no turning. That comes to us at the moment.

A number of years ago, we happened to be in the Embassy of the t'nited States in London. A highly distinguished guest arrived. We were privileged to meet him. He was former Secretary of State Kel-logg. He was deeply immersed in what was called "the Kellogg Plan." By a combination of nations, he purposed disarmament so that war would be impossible.

Not only outlawed, impossible. was thoroughly earnest. He was an aged man. One felt that the crowning triumph of his life would be the consumatiOn of this plan. He was, of course, faced by the need of dealing contractually with foreign statesmen.

Any treaty is but a contract. It is but a piece of paper to be torn up by any subsequent bandit whose purposes are best suited by war. i But, pursuant to such a plan, and such a contract, these United States scuttled many of its battleships and permitted its air armament and Army to deteriorate. We, rjf course, fulfilled the contract. Can it be said that the others did? Recalling that day, we look with Idubiety on "The Marshall Plan." No matter how excellent the plan may be, pro forma, how responsible are the parties of the other part? That is the nubbin.

Treaties must not be used to weaken us. We want no more frightened statesman kowtowing to a Hitler in a desperate hour of evasion. For a good many years to come, we must Realize that mankind is still involved in an Evolutionary process which has not obliterated his grasping for power and his chicaneries in reaching a position to grasp. The balance of power is the best collateral for our loans, our contracts, our commitments. That may sound hard-j boiled, but it makes a profound lot of i sense in our book.
