Byrd, of Virginia, | che man-power commission a question a few days ago that may well apply to Key West. | Senator. Byrd spoke about the charge, free- ly made, that the government was wasting man-power by keeping unneeded workers | sked MeNutt if aly | on the,payrolls, an was true. He replied t if ployees at present, conditions may arise that will require the use of all the employes | He added that agents ' of the commission had been instructed io | | look among government personnel for em- and more besides. ployes who.could be spared for other work. There may or may not be a surplus of employes in the Key West Navy Yard and possibly the Army Barracks. certain at the Navy Yard, every department | and branch of service there has a full com- plement of employes, so much so it appears to an outsider that there are too many. But the outsider may be wrong, probably is wrong, though Senator Byrd’s charge about the government’s,. wasting man-power was not denied,b; Cha hairman McNutt. Everyl, Ee rows that the most im- | portant thing on the home front, is war work. the Key West Navy Yard: needs five or £0 times'as many men and women as are employed there now, it should be given them first and it should have the pick ‘| of the best in the community, regardless of | what business may be hurt. | yard does not need But if the all its employes, the everage should “be spared for other work,” as McNutt stated. Yes, war work first on the home front, and in Key West that means working at ihe Navy: Yard, the Army Barracks and on de- fense projects, but if there are more em- ployes than are needed to carry om ihe work, then some should be" “apaved’’ che eommunity, for’ the community ‘must carry on, war or no: war. The home front keeps'ithe ich line going, and the more effectively..che home works, the more food and’ war ‘equipment |. will go to the front line, and: toi:keep, going well the home front must have its stores’, as it has in peace time, and of business. Practically iL Key West are now handigapped by a lack of man-power, and if they’ are. havdicappen | much further some of them, as the proprie- tors have declared, will hive to go out of business. That will hurt the home front, whenever the home front is hurt it indirect- ly hurts the front line, Let’s be “sparing” in this man-power matter and keep them both in tiptop condition. ALMOST A SCANDALOUS PROCEEDING The nation was somewhat surprised this month that nine thousand items of White House correspondence of. the €ool- idge“Administration were placed on ihe pit arket in New, Kork. Some‘of the correspondence was con- ki ‘aly dealing with. offieial inatters that aré€éseribed as “sensational” itehis' Hépreséited translations’ of “cipher code messages. At the last minute, some arrangements were made to secure these items for the Library of Congress. in Washington, with the stipulation that they be sealed for a number of years. The items covered ihe | correspondence file of Edward T. Clarke, private secretary to President Calvin Cool- idge and covered the period from 1923-33. There seems to be something wrong when the private secretary of former President of the United States can take, as his private property, copies of correspond- | $ ence and other official documents. In: the present cas, Mr. Clarke died! in) 1985 and his ‘widoW’'s6ld the nine thousand’ items to harles Washington, who. de- ided wo Phe the tery « Con~. Certainly, the private secretary “of a President has no right to sell copies’ of let- ters and other items andi there is no-reasen why his widow, or anyone else, should have the right. It is admitted that many “confidential” messages are ineluded: in the collection and others refer to confiden- tial inofrmation relating to. foreign: govern- ments.

Mr. Hart said that it was unnecessary for all the coun cilmen to go to New York to see the bondholders, and that Wil- liam: A. Freeman, chairman of the finanee committee, and City Attorney Lancelot Lester were the only wo who should have gone on the trip. “All the money spent to pay for the trip of the other councilmen was just a waste of the taxpayers’ money,” | Mr. Hart: declared.
