Heavy Air Attacks Te was taken in the matter of the! building permit issued to Luther Pinder for the erection of a hotel and dining room, and tourist cab- ins, on United street, permission to do so having previously been called a violation of the new zoning ordinance. The matter first came to the at- tention of the new Zoning Board of Appeals in session yesterday morning in council chambers. Owing to conflicting nature of the remarks made by Mr. Pinder at that meeting, and since it had been alleged that the council had previously given permission for the building operations planned by Mr. Pinder, that Board passed the matter back to the council for action. As a result of last night’s meet- ing conclusions reached—clouded as they were, in the opinion of many citizens commenting on = them.the... zoning ordinance stands in desperate danger of be- coming ineffective in the prece dence that was set. The permit issued for what has been called a tourist camp, is in direct violation of the ordinance, it was pointed out, for several reasons, chief of which is no re- gulation being made for the type of buildings planned in the area designated. Further—regulations governing set-backs from side- walk lines and total area of buildings to be erected were said to be in violation of the ordi- nance. Effort on the part of a minority of the council (the vote again was 4 to 3) to require Mr. Pinder to submit complete plans to the council for study met with de- feat. Councilmen Boyden, Brin- ton and Ramsey assented and councilmen Carbonell, Grillon, Sweeting and Freeman voted against the motion. It appeared that no plans have been drawn for the project. No further action was taken fol- lowing the vote above-mention- ed. Much discussion, , however, was entered into by opposing sides in the controversy with an | effort to place blame for the per- mit-issuing that caused the con- fusion and start of zoning regula- tions in Key West off to a poor start. es@ Contacted this morning, sev- eral citizens were non-commital as to whether legal proceedings would be started in the matter. | It was stated that much building was contemplated for Key West with resultant employment of many local people over a long period of time. The demonstra- tion last night, however, it was said, had discouraged some in- terests to the extent where plans for construction have been tem- porarily, at least, cancelled. ONE WAY OF TELLING (By Associated Press) BAYONNE, N. J., July 6—It took an 800-mile telephone call to get G.-D. Fraser back to his home ‘in Jersey City, six miles away. The 90-year-old man was un-! able to tell Bayonne police who he was but they found in his pocket the name of a friend in Lansing, Mich. Acall to Lansing produced Fraser’s Jersey City address. “Welcome Guard DANCE —Tonite— RAUL’S CLUB Featuring DELORES LA RUE and TINY as the MC. No Admission or Cover Charge MORROW First detachment of Scouts leaving for a encampment at Camp Owen-Bro- rein, near Tampa, will leave to- morrow morning in the Key West Gas Company truck front of the High Schooi building at 8:00 o'clock sharp according to the plans announced yesterday exclusively in The Citizen. Scout officials asked that the boys designated for this detach- ment be on hand plenty of time in advance so that no confusion will result when deadline for leaving approaches. This, it was felt, was a, needless warning, however, it was issued never- theless. Announcement was made yes- terday that Star Scout Ray Pe- rez, also senior patrol leader, now in C. M. T. C. at Fort Scre- ven, would join the local scouts on July 11th. A total of sixty-nine boys will make the trip to camp, the balance besides the nineteen leaving tomorrow will get on board a FML bus at the bus sta- tion at 8:00 o'clock Monday morn- ing.

Slighted William Tell, And Got Into Trouble (By Associated Press) ZURICH, Switzerland,, July 6. —Ladislaus Barta, a Hungarian who tried to fool Swiss -mmanu-j facturers by ‘pretending. to “rep- | resent the Soviet' importing bureau, might have suceeeded with his get-rich-quick scheme had he known what William Teli meant to a patriotic Swiss. A necktie manufacturer sent him samples bearing the Swiss hero’s effigy. Barta wrote back haughtily stating that in Soviet Russia people were not interest- ed in William Tell. That made the necktie manu- ,facturer so at that he got private detectives to investigate Barta, who soon was turned over to Zurich police as a fraud and was sentenced to ten months in ‘ prison.

FOLLOWED ADVICE AND GOT THE JOB (By Associated Press) GALVA, Ill, July 6—Five years ago Robert Soderberg, then 17 and a senior at the Galva high school, wrote to Walter P. Chrysler, the auto manufacturer, and asked him how he should go about becoming an automobile designer. ‘bombs and fulful of picking up ‘the object, but after looking it over careful- ly he decided to takesa chance, ‘and took the object into his tbeat. There he uncovered its black oilskin wrapping and saw a large bottle in which were let- ters and postcards—40 in all— jand money. The bottle was much like the regular wide mouthed preserve jars used by housewives when putting up jams and jellies, but it had two strong iron bands that held in place a flagstaff from which was flying a white flag and the word mail lin large red letters. Approximately all of the let- ters were air mail stamped. 'There were small coins for the purchase of air mail stamps for two unstamped letters, also a dollar tip to the one who found the bottle and mailed the letters. One peculiar feature of the bot- tle or jar which contained the :mail was the cement bottom which was poured into the con- ,tainer, presumably to set it on an even keel while floating the sea. ._ Mr. Saunders admits he was badly frightened when he saw the object and feared to touch it thinking it might cause damage to himself and his boat. Now he is glad he did take the chance and was able to do a favor for those who entrusted their cor- respondence to the ocean. The other destructive wW..

Navy Department tinued to keep a watchful eye or the French island possession Martinique off Venezuela. Reports indicated that more United States navy ships may be sent to the vicinity of threatened ‘outbreak of hostilities should the French ships now known » be in the main harbor that island attempt to run away from British vessels stationed nearby Neutral agencies reported to- day that a giant French aircraft carrier was et Martinique.
