He had been ill five years. Carter Glass, a picturesque | fighter in all of his long, distin- guished career, found perhaps his greatest disappointment in an! illness which kept him inactive. when America shifted to the at-| tack in the second world war. _When failing health prevented him from going to Washington to! take the oath again as senior sen- ator from Virginia in the 78th Congress the Senate went to him, For the second time in history the Senate conferred on its sec- retary, Col. Edwin A. Halsey, authority to administer the oath! away from the senate chamber.)

He never} as er a hesitated’ to use it when fighting for his principles. He fought hard for Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations program and he believed the league might have prevented the second world conflict. But, when the war first broke out in Europe in 1939, he was confident that American isolation was im- possible.

The doctor also said that there are two kinds of polio symptoms. Polio Symptoms One of the symptoms is pa- ralytic and the other is abortive. Thus, many who believe they do not have polio because there is no paraly: but who get sick spells, become dizzy, and experi- ence nasseau, may have the dis- ease. Dr. Parramore ‘said that there are only two cases now in Key West. One~-ig,auchild. who. had a. combination of polio and chicken- pox and who is in Jackson Me- morial Hospital at Miami for treatment, and the other is a 16- year-old girl, who was taken to the same hospital.

Says Legislator Key West likely will have di- rect airplane service to Havana, Representative Papy said today. He explained. that he was in Washington when the Civil Aero- )nautics Board denied a petition of the National Air Lines to operate planes from Tampa to Key West and thence to Havana on the ground that Key West was an intermeaiave point, and that service of that nature is di- rect. Immediately after the CAB denied that. petition, Denning and Cross, attorneys for Na- tional Airlines, filed an appli- cation for direct service from Key West to Havana, Mr. Papy said, adding that planes from Key West will connect with planes in Havana, leaving for New York. National Air Lines has filed a petition. with: CAB, requesting that the status of the service be- i tween Miami and Key West be | changed from temporary to per- manent.

At every polling place it was reported that voting was ex- ceedingly light. and at two pre- cincts several hours of the aft- ernoon had passed before the total, in each case, reached 100. Mersbersof the Monroe Coun-. ty Bar association urged many Key Westers to go to the polls, de- jclaring that it is of much interest’ to the community that-a large vote be cast, but the gener: of the voters apparently were sufficiently interested in any con test to. cast their ballots. : MRS.
