Twenty per cent pay rise is proposed for the armed forces Senator Pepper THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Reports On Trip Made To Florida Points By SENATOR CLAUDE PEPPER I have just returned from a most interesting and profitable trip to our good State of Florida. In Tampa, I visited our great Fair which is a credit not only to all parts of the,,State, but to the Nation: ‘The agricultural and hor- ticultural exhibits were as fine as could be found anywhere in the whole Nation, for which all praise goes to Mr. Carl Brorein, President of the Tampa Fair As- sociation, and all those who made that great And especially all praise to the greatest Commissioner of Agri- culture in all the United States, Nathan Mao. There was an im- mense crowd at the Fair, evi- dence of its popularity not only in the Tampa area. but in the State as a whole. One evening in Tampa, I hac the honor to address the Phi Beta Kapa Association on the West Coast ,at a great dinner ably presided over by My. Tom Shackleford, prominent attorne; of Tampa. Another evening, it was my happy privilege to address the Pen Women at a dinner pres:ded over by Mrs. J. Ried Ramsey. The ladies who are members this organization have had thei writings, either prose or poetry, accepted for publication and re- téived at least $50 a year in pay. ment ‘for them. Among the most intérésting people I met at this dither was ‘a #réat lady who be- gan to learn to paint at 75 years of age and now at 81 has painted a number of excellent portraits and pictures and is still go:ng strong. While in Tampa I also met with the Aviation Committee of the Chamber of Commerce discuss the aviation problems of the West Coast of Florida. Like- w'se, I attended a large meeting of building contractors and con- struction men who are vitally interested in the housing pro- gram and in a general construc- tion program for the State and the Nation. I profited greatly by hearing first hand from them of the problems which they had to treet in gett'ng materials and labor for construction purpeses. You know that Mr. Wilson Wyatt, National Housing Administrator, bas announced a vast emergenc: program for home building in the country. The Government is going to aid those who produce materials if getting those ma- terials out. The Government is determined to see that homes ere built, first for the veterans of the nation and then for the people generally. Already, I have been in con- tact with some of the companies formerly building ships in Flor- ida and some. lumber mills about helping the inouse building pro- gram by beginning to manufact- ure prefabricated houses. I have been very much interested see whether the end of the wa and the closing of many Arm, and Navy insiailations in Florida were going to aifect our State adversely, It has been very pleasing to me to have business men tell me they don’t notice eny diminution in bask deposits and in the purchasing power of the people. That is a good sign. It indicates that Florida is funda- mentally sound. “Coming on from Tampa to Or- lado, truly one of the beauty Spots of all the world, I got to take part in Postal Education Week, a program for the educa- tion of school children and the People generally in the correct addressing and mailing of il and parcels, ably sponsored by Orlando’s very keen and alert Postmaster, Jimmy s. Thous- ands of school childres took part in the program, to which Orang Conty's oytstanding Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, Judson Walker, gave his very strong support. Fourth Assistani Postmaster General, Mr. Walter Myers, was down from Washing- ton. Postal Education Week. started by Jimmy Boggs C lando, was prociaim wide event by nor Millard Caldwell and has been gnized by the Post Office Department in Washington. I am glad to sce Florida continuing to lead the Nation with new and good things. As an old school teacher, I am never haprier than when I get to meet with a group of teachers.

I alse met Florida’s new Football Coach for , the University, “Bear” Wolf, and I liked him. Thanks to the kind- ness and hospitality of the people of Orlando and. vicinity and the good advertisement of the meet- ing by. one of Florida’s greatest Editors andy Publishers, Martin Anderson, my devoted friend. It was my privilege to address 2,500 people in the Municipal Audi- torium at Orlando one evening about our foreign policy and my recent study of economic and political conditions in nineteen major countries of the world last fall. Orlando has a new industry ‘for which I predict agreat future. It is based upon a new process for preserving citrus fruit. Fruit to which th's process is applied an be shipped to any part of ‘the world, or to any part of the ‘country without the necessity of refrigeraiion, For ine process we 2 indebeted to Mr. Brogdex, the inventor of the Brogdex Process aiready is wide use in the citrus industry. It will also save freighi on the shipment of our citrus fruit to the markets of the nation j by permitting water shipments at a cheaper rate than ever be- fore. incidentally, we are working w.th some enterprising people in Florida who are trying to put into operation a new barge ser- vice on the St. John’s River and the Atlantic Coast through the ; use of some barges which the War Shipping Administration will soon declare surplus. I ended my vis.t with a day in Lake County addressing a joint Civic Club luncheon at Leesburg, and a public meeting sponsored by the Women’s Clup ef Eustis. At Eustis I was in- troduced by my old friend, Judge } J. C. B. Koonce, one of our most | cistingu‘shed Circuit? Judges. A. G. CATHARELL (Continaed trom Page One) signed tasks.
