The senators stressed that it is tradi- tion for the American people to show their respect for the high office of President by sending gifts to the Chief Executive and his family. And nothing in the re- port, the committee said, was in- tended to be critical of that long- standing tradition Vaughan was blasted for his association with Washington’s man-about-town, John F.

City and County authorities are being asked to “lift the lid” for the occasion, to permit the opera- tion of a Carnival in the heart of the city, where residents and visi- tors alike may indulge to their herats’ content in fun and frolic —eating, dancing and gaming. According to tentative plans re- leased by Director of Publicity, Douglass Blythe, of the Latin- American Chamber, a street pa- rade made up of the enthroned Senorita Eraida Rivero, “Miss Latin-America of Key West” with her entourage attended by the Key West Conga Line and High School Band, will form and per- form at the south end of Simon- ton street, where hundreds of vis- itors will be privileged to view the unique spectacle from their own doorsteps.

Denham added that the basis for the court action is a complaint charging John L. Lewis and the Mine Workers Union with unfair labor practices. The complaint also accuses Lewis of failing to bargain in good {faith with the mine operators. In a series of complaints to Hall. Here they were| Denham last December, the oper- ators said that the three-day work week ordered by Lewis was an unfair labor practice intended to force them into signing an illegal contract with Lewis. Denham declared that his aides will go into court this afternoon to apply for a temporary injunc- | tion. Whatever may come of Den- ham’s move, it is clear that at least it will push the coal situa- tion along to some sort of a break in the present stalemate.
