Thomas Felton Paul, of Fort| Lauderdale, who was arrested as the driver of the car by State Road Patrolman Thomas S. Bate- man, was charged with reckless driving and was released on $1,000 bail. Attorney Cleare said today that it depends on’ the coroner in Peace Justice E. R. Lowe’s court at Tavernier, whether or not the charge against Payl will be changed. Morsey was standing on the southeast side of the bridge, con- versing with another man, when the car swerved, tore off his left leg and threw it in one direction and him in another. The force of the impact was such, Chief Dep- uty Sheriff Moreno Wallace said the day of the accident, the leg was hurled 100 feet from where Morey had been standing. He was rushed to a hospital in Homestead, where he ‘died three days ago. | | On Beach Bonds Cireuit Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr., reserved decision yesterday afternoon, following a hearfffg “in the validation proceedings of the $250,000 bond issue to construct a beach in Key West. Supervisor of Registration | John England testified that he | had compiled the qualified list for the bond election of Dee. 11, 1945, in accordance with section 103.03 of the bond laws. That section was adopted in 1931, and it provides for the qualifying of voters by signing an affidavit that they are electors and free- holders in the city or county where the election is to be held. Assistant State Attorney Will- iam V. Albury pointed out that section 103.06, adopted in 1941, of the bond laws, provides that} the county commissioners “shall cause to be made up and certi- fied by the proper registration! officer . . . a list of names of all qualified electors appearing thereon who are determined to be freeholders, residing in such county.” As that provision of the law was not complied with, Attorney Albury maintained that the elec- tion was invalid, in that it was not a true expression of a major- ity of qualified voters in Monroe county who were freeholders at} the time the election was held. Attorneys for the county show- ed that the validation proceed- ings had been prepared and filed in compliance with the law gov- erning them. Wanted!

Byrnes left here today in a four- Wash- ington, following the discontinu- ance of the conferences last night of the Big Four, still deadlocked over major issues in peace trea- ties for Italy and the Balkan states. Conferences will be re- sumed June 15. There was not even any agree- ment on appointment of a special to study German problems in advance of any con- ference on a German treaty, the informant said. Brynes had pro- posed such an advance study, and a German treaty conference next Nov. 12. Byrnes also had sought unsuc- cessfully to have the ministers set a definite date now for a peace conference—preferably in July— to write treaties for Finland, Italy and the Balkan nations, but was opposed by Soviet Foreign Minis- ter Vyacheslav M. Molotov. He insisted the four powers must first agree among themselves on | such treaties, One minor agreement was reached on the. last day of discus- sions which opened April 25.

But the Russians were still op- | posed to Byrnes’ plan for enter- | ing into a 25-year mutual asgist- + sgQeepact.to guarantee continued disarmament of Germany.
