The outlook is that The Citizen will have to be re- duced in size still further, or may have to cease publica- tion until it can get a supply of paper.

Albury, superintendent of public instruction, revealed to- day. Out-of-town newspapers car- ried stories recently saying Mr. Carey did not receive such a let- ter. The following statement is cén- tained in the minutes of the April 30 meeting of the Monroe county schol board: “After a lengthy discussion of Mr. Carey’s previous work and the stand he took against the school board on many occasions, his application failed to receive nomination by the trustees, sup- erintendent or the board.” ° Superintendent Albury said this morning that “all teachers who have been properly certificated have been reappointed for: the en- suing year. Those teachers whose certificates will expire before the opening of the coming term have been notified they must qualify by renewing their certificates on or before the date mentioned.” Mr. Albury added that “the Board of Public Instruction and the superintendent cannot legal- ly issue a contract to any mem- ber of the teaching staff who is not properly qualified.” “Mowever,” Mr. Albury said, “we are confident that all teach- ers who have failed to renew their certificates will do so in time for the opening term.” Woman Habiied In Auto Theft!

Father Flees To Egypt (By Associated Press) ROME, May 10.—Mobs of Left- ists gathered here today, angered, they declared, because King Vit- torio Emanuel had abdicated ‘be- fore they could “throw” him off the throne. They asserted that the abdica- tion was merely a monarchial blind to continue the present form of government in Italy. . Prince Umberto of yesterday said, as King Umberto of today, that he would request the premier to continue the present governinent for the 23-day. duration of his term as king under the preesnt set-up. He assumed the throne under an agreement that he was to re main there till the Italian peo- ple, 23 days hence, decide at tne polls whether they want a mon- archial; or some other form of government. The Leftists, during their dem- tonstrations, stated that they were considering calling aw ~ general strike throughout Italy in protest over Emanuel's fleeing from his country and putting his son on jthe throne in the hope of placat- ing the Italian people. A‘ dispatch from Cairo, Egypt, said that Emanuel and the former Queen Helena arrived there this | morning and intended to remain in Key West ‘and ‘explained that |» in exile. a U-Drive company had rented | a car to a man, that he had loaned | it to a woman, who said she wish-!

He had not. decided whether the government will seize _ the mines, or the strikers and opern- tors will be asked to declare a 30-day truce, with the resumption of work while conferences are conducted in the hope of settling the strike. Opinion here was that public opinion against the continuance of the strike has reached so tense a stage it will foree John L. Lew- is, president of the Coal Mine |Workers of America, to accept the proposal to effect a truce. Another report said that con- gress probably would enact leg islation- prohibiting the giving of royalties to employes of any cor- | poration. ‘New York had its first brown- out last night, as a result of the |strike, and the three subway sys tems in that city are being ope: ated on schedules from 10 to percent lower than the regular ones. Should the strike continue till the end of this month, it was said that it. would throw three and one-half million men out of work, A railroad freight embargo went into effect at midnight last night, and passenger service has been reduced 25 percent. Onl, essential freight is being handled Added to the difficulty in obtain- ing fuel, railroad men have threatened to go on strike, and the White House announced that, should the strike be called, Pres dent Truman will not hesitate to take over the railroads. Besides the Ford, General Mo jtors and ‘Chrysler Corp which have announced the clos ing of the plants, or preparaticis to close them, other automobile manufacturers reported they were getting ready to dis operations because of coal short ages. Tens of thousands are being laid off daily in industrial plant throughout the county, it was an nounced. —The that | Seaman’s Body Found In Creek The body of C/MoMM J Ashmore ,missing from the West submarine base for the pr several days, was recovered fro Hialeah creek in Miami, Tuesde Comdr.
