SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1946. titted pp , CORAL ROCKETS tt —_—— By L. P. ARTMAN, JR. PAAABALAAARARAAAAMABA RRR RADARS LAY THAT RUMOR DOWN Was talking to John Spotts- wood, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Here is a rumor which should be laid among the posies. It has been reported that the Chamber has been turning over its realty correspondence to one realty service. This is not so. ! If a realty company is known to have exclusive dealing to a piece of property and a request comes} in for information on that piece of property why then the realty company in question is contacted saving» much time and trouble. The chamber correspondence is open at all times to the general public, Mr. Spottswood said. . s PERCOLATING POWWOW He and I had quite a powwow about increasing the effective- ness of the Chamber which I still believe is not underway as anuch as it should be. In our dis- cussions were brought up the subjects of (1) full time publicity man, (2) advertising program, (3) project program. Our discussion Was quife warm and quite frank. Qf course any action must be taken by the Chamber as a body. The meeting of the Business- men’s Association with the Chamber which is scheduled for Monday after next should prove fruitful to both bodies. There is much to be done and it is high time that we became agreed by @ majority vote on courses of action. A great deal of the pre- liminary ground has been clear- ed out ‘and each side knows pretty well what the opinions of the other body are. The ‘point now is to correlate all the plans. I think that is going to be done. Neither side at this time can afford to be arbitrary. It is now a@ question of production rather than personality. Let us be on with doing the things for Key West which are planned but never get done, e ° FOOD FOR THE BIRDS The best flying weather in the United States ‘of ' America and one of the best flying fields in the cqunhtry—reduced th a; dare; taker status. Much’ as the 'gréat- est Navy: -and...Army and. Air Force in’ the world is now being sealed up in plastic containers and kept ready for any needed action. Well, as we said before let us get ready for the tourists. e e REST BEACH HOTEL Saleof Rest Beach to a con- cern wishing to erect a large hotel may be announced in the not too distant future. e e ESQUINALDO POPULARITY Judge Enrique Esquinaldo, Jr., is quite popular with the Navy from his judgments in city court. Legal officers think that he has been doing a good job. ° é SEEK CAUSE FIRST Commander Bulkeley was in city court recently as an observ- er. None of his men were impli- cated but in duscussing cases with him the question of raising heck here and raising heck there was brought up. “No”, said Bul- keley, “let us seek the cause and eliminate it”. Bulkeley brought the first six PT Elcos to Key West on a New York to Key West run. ° e FARALDO TO HAVANA George Faralde has taken flight trip to Havana to check all conditions for a pi ble in- auguration of charter service to that country next winter. . ° CUBA LINE PLANS Incidentally: a Cuban line is planning flights between Havana and Key West, Faraldo reports. The logic of using Key West as a crossroads is at last coming to the fore. a e . COOPER—RIVAS! Here are some of the candi- dates who are expected to an- nounce for sheriff at the next election in 1948. Berlin Sawyer will definitely not run this next time. Too many headaches in the job he says. Albert Cooper, city commission I predict will be a candidate. Everett Rivas will, too. To me it looks like a battle of forces as to whether places- where - crowds - congregate will stay or not. On the one side you have ministers who would jump into any sort of campaign of that sort right now. Along this line of thought a former state road department official is being writ- ten letters right now by a min- ister reporting the local “crowds situation and urging action. Thus the church has become a factor in gambling cases. Aligned with them are disgruntled bingo operators who jammed Duval and who street sometime ago were closed down by the sheriff, who was just a half hour ahead of the city’s expected action. On } the other side are are those who like card games, who enjoy watching the umbrella spin, and who certainly enjoy playing bolita with the very strong pro- viso that no outside gangster gamblers run this sort of play. e e OUTSIDE GANGSTERS Sometimes the innocents line up with those who would cut their throats if they could. I re- | fer to the possibility when the | “old line” gamblers are turned out of their “sacks” locally if | such an election is successful and | Miami syndicate gamblers allow- _ed in, State and local swift action jthis winter slapped a swift road j block into these outside syndi- cates coming in here this last ; winter and poured the fire on them. The natural and age old enemy was kept out of Key West successfully, I could tell you ;much of lottery and numbers ,rackets which were planned and the stooges sent here to play {with local people and gain their sympathy. Much as the Nazis sent their spies to corrupt with poison propaganda before their powerful legions marched: in. . - THREAT NEXT ELECTION The sheriff's election next time may well see a play for power between these Miami sharpers and the local crowds collectors. | With some locai people lining up on both sides. Allan Cleare, Jr., county solicitor, told business- men at a recent meeting, “Guard well your city from those who would seek to corrupt it”. I can only repeat that very sincere warning. When you vote be sure that you know what you are vot- ing for. If you as a majority do not wish gambling in this town, be sure that by your vote you do not throw out a fairly easy crowd to wolves who really throw our tourist city to the wolves, e e FAITH IN VOTE But I have always had faith in the Key West vote and any) American vote for that matter. What information is available. along the lines I am speaking of will be passed on, regardless of pressure, I assure you. Navy All-Musical Slated For Tonight Three WAVES and nine sail- ors recently returned from the South Pacific will present an all-Navy musical show tonight at 1800 at the sub, base movie hall. The 1800 performance will be repeated at 2000 for all personnel of the sub base AsDevLant and sound school. The 12 entertainers, who were professionals in civil life, will give another performance Mon- day at NAS. ‘ Berman Unveiling Rites Sundav At Jewish Plot Friends of the late Berman Weintraub have been invited by members of his family to attend the unveiling of the stone erected in his memory in the Jewish Cemetery where services will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, ALCATRAZ PROBE (Continued froin Page One) arsenal.

That was the story Tom Hud- son, negro, told Deputy’ Sheriff Will Archer, this morning, and Hudson added he did not know why Wilie Lee Mitchell, 30,:also colored, 710 Emma street; threw the bottles at him. : “I was standing at a telephone booth,” Hudson said, “when a bottle crashed against! the booth. The second one missed too, but the third botle him me on the head.” Deputy Archer saji the assault occurred in the Harlem Inn bar, and that’ he found the woman in a back room.
