IN TODAY'S ISSUE | SOCIAL CLUB TO CONDUCT CONTEST FOR PROPOSED POP- ULARITY RACE Key West Social Club, organ- ization of which was recently con- eluded, is now perfecting plans for a popularity contest which will be held in the near future, jand which bids fair to be one of the most popular held in some time.

Nine entrants who are listed today, the names of whom were given by those in charge of the contest, are: Misses Dorothy Beth- ancourt, Olga Renedo, Mary Cas- tro, Lilia Acevedo, Dora Medina, Anita Salgado, Olga ‘Marrero, jLorraine Valdes and Ana Luisa ‘Castillo.

Russell, who aspires to the position of Captain of Po- lice, and is soliciting the support of his many friends, Mr. Russell, known femiliarly as “Buster”, told The Citizen that never before had he asked the consideration of the voting public, as thig was the first time he has ever felt that he could ask, at their hands, election to an office. However, he feels that there are a number of changes which could be effectually adopted in the ad- ministration of the office and toj this end he has consulted author-} itative sources and applied him- self to the study of the corrective ‘Congressman Wilcox had called a meeting of all the city attorneys in Florida, the object of the meet- ing being to discuss the bank- ruptey bill which was recently of- fered by the representative in Con- gress, and was made a law.

Plane Forced To Return Here Yesterday Afternoon Plane of the Miami-Key West; Airways, Inc., was forced yester-) day to return to Key West, when} about 45 miles on the journey to Miami, It was noticed that the oil sup- ply was rapidly disappearing and, it was decided to alight and make tinuing. After alighting and the repairs! were effected, it was noticed that the oil supply would be insuffi- cient to warrant the voyage being it would be wise to return to Key West. This was done.

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happenings That Affect ou tines Pails, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Na- | : tional and International Problems Insep- Administration spokesmen—es- pecially the President—have oft- en drawn an analogy between War} and Depression. —_Nineteen-sev-| enteen and 1933, they _believe,| presented, similar grave problems that had to be promptly met with} similar remedies. $ There is _likewis analogy between the expansion of the Federal government in war; time and its expansion during d pression. An enlightening com- parison is published in a recent is-| sue of the U. S. News. When America entered the war the national debt was $1,225,000,- 000—$12 per capita. When the! war was over in 1919, the debt had risen to $25,482,000,000— $240 per capita. When America experienced its last boom year, 1929, the nation- al debt was a little less than $17,- 000,000,000—$139. per capita. In 1987p with recevivy ay ed stage, the debt has increased $11,500,000,000, to $37,000,000,- 000—$277 per capita. Thirteen new major depart- ments were created in 1917 and; 1918—of which some of the most important were the Alien Proper- war scandals. the American Relief Administration, the Railroad Ad- ministration, the War Finance Ad- ministration, the War Industries itt arable From Local Welfare new bureaus, particularly the in- corporated ones, do not require Civil Service status, and no auth- oritative census of their number is available. These facts indicate the reasons back of the demands for reorgan- ization of government bureaus. there are several strong- ly opposed schools of thought on the subject of how reorganization should be accomplished. Under the President’s plan, the dominance of the Executive over both new arid old bureaus would be inereas- ed, and some of the independent bureaus, such as Radio Commis- sion, the ICC, and the Federal Trade Commission, would be brought under Presidential con- ‘ol. Other advocates of reor- ganization are against this exten- ston of Execuive authority, and want a form of reorganization that will maintain the independ- Of the Independent Htreaus, jand will consolidate other bureaus! of the Overseas Bridges is a sub- under Congressional control, | Athletics Enlisted _ Against Tuberculosis (By Associated Press) NANKING, ‘Sept. 29.—In an effort to eut China’s annual tu- berculosis death rate of 1,600,- 000, welfare organizations here nouncement as candicate for mem-/ Board and the Veterans’ Adminis-|have embarked on a spectacular ber of the body.
