Over- whelming House acceptance of the Senate’s baby-bond payment with its ultimate $2,491,000,000 cost, pleted congressional action. The measure will go to the White House, and pos- sible veto as soon as Speaker | Byrns and Vice-President | Garner sign it. | Administration leaders have predicted flatly that the bill will become a law whether or not the President signs it. It provides payment of adjusted service certificates of 3,500,000 world war vet- June 15. Veterans preferring to hold certificates would draw Mnually from. June 15, to June 15, 1945. The House vote was a mere formality coming motion by Chairman Dough- 1937 ton of North Carolina, of the’ ways and means committee, to concur in a Senate amend- ment embracing bond pay- ment method, to the cash- payment plan which cleared the House by six to one mar- gin in the opening days of the session. An hour’s de- bate preceded the final vote. The vote was 346 to 58. TAKE PICTURES OF SCENES HERE CAMERA .AND SOUND EX- PERTS OPERATING UNDER WPA ORGANIZATION A variety of pictures of Key West, particularly in relation to the WPA program under way here, were taken yesterday by a group of camera and sound ex- perts representing the picture di-, vision of the Works Progress Ad- ministration, of Washington. Throughout most of the day the group was in various sections of the city taking pictures, with sound, of laborers at work on the several projects; of projects al- ready completed and also of some of the beautiful scenic views. Scenes included the sewer proj- ect, larvacide manufacture and spraying, Key West Aquarium, Key West Art Gallery, Rest Beach, House Rehabilitation, and { } lerans in $50 bonds starting | three per cent interest an-/ on'care to the selection of “AMORE FUNDS FOR MONROE SCHOOLS ARE APPORTIONED {OVER NINE THOUSAND DOL- i LARS SET ASIDE FOR IN- STITUTIONS TOWARD oP.

In the annual address deliver- ed last evening by Governor Dave | Sholtz, he made the following “Because I have been absolute- ly honest and above board with the school, teachers and school of-}; ficials of this state; because 1 have been perfectly frank and un- ‘willing to misrepresent to them or mislead them, my attitude to- j ward the schools has been mis- j construed by some well-meaning. well-intentioned people. “I yield to no one in my loyal- ty to the cause of education and | my interest in the schools, but I jer consistently refrained from t encouraging school officials of this state to believe that they would receive from the state a greater amount than we definite- ‘ly knew would be available. ' “As a result of this policy, in- stead of starting out this school | year with confidence of a full term and full pay and winding up with short terms and pockets full of script, there will be full terms and the teachers will be paid in j cash.” | In repeating previous state- I ments that common schools will {get at least $9,000,000 this year, | the governor laid blame for. scheo] troublés of today di at the door of local school ficials. “If the people will give more local {school officials and select capable ‘and experienced business men or women who. . . are interested in the schools rather than in politics, giving less thought to Tallahassee, their problems will be more readily solved,” he said. of- 1 schools .will receive from the state this year is a 61 percent increase over the total amount received last year. “It is inconceivable to me that it will be found necessary to close the schools in any county short of their regular terms this} year,” he went on. “If this is/ done, the responsibility cannot lie; elsewhere than with the management,” L. V. WALDRON DIED SUDDENLY FURTHER ACCOUNT OF HIS DEATH GIVEN BY RELATIVES | The sudden death of Leonard V. Waldron, 45, resident of Deer- field, for a umber of years train despatcher for the Florida East Coast Railway at Key West, was a shock to his many friends in both sections. . “Shorty”, as he was familiarly known to thousands of Floridians and visitors to the state, was ap- parently in the best of health when he retired last Tuesday night.
