H KEY WEST’S CHARMING DIFFERENCE : Galo Plaza‘y Lasso, President of Ecuador, who ar- {rived in Key West yesterday for a short stay before pro- “eeeding to Washington, is another outstanding illustra- “fion of equality of opportunity in a democracy. President ..truman sold haberdashery in his home town of Independ- “énceé’and President Plaza sold apples in the streets in Washington during the Depression. ach in his country was accorded the privilege every- body else has to aspiré to higher things. Aspiration in it- self is of no consequence—it must be backed up by the will to do, the determination to succeed, President Tru- man had, and still has that quality, and so does President Lasso. No‘type of honest labor is too low for a man whose independent spirit is such he shrinks from the thought of being dependent on others for his livelihood. Lasso un- doubtedly could have gotten handouts from the Eeuador- ean embassy in Washington, but he preferred to sell ap- plesto keep body and soul together till he could get a job at the embassy. He was born in New York City of Ecuadorean parents and was educated in the United States. From the embassy he went to Ecuador, still imbued with that aC ot ¥ ... di¢.had in his apple-selling days. That determination §n Barty Sincerity. of purpose carried him from one office to another frodgit comment of old, o-=ttihe reached the highest one in his country. = He and Mrs. Lasso will be the guests of President « and Mrs, Truman in Blair House in Washington, We don't = . dnogfwhat the two presidents will discuss, but it is safe to 2 “shy “they will talk, briefly at least, about the Little White = House in Key West, in which President Truman has found = “Hur€base so often from his governmental responsibilities. z However that may be, President Lasso’s coming here = meant mofe free publicity for Key West.

Mahon, of Texas, points owt that while Congress has appropriated $48,000,000,- 900, only $19,000,000,000 will be spent by June 80. In the following twelve months, however, more than double this amount will be expended and, consequently, he warns that there will be a “terrific impact on our civilian out- bats “** The progress in mobilizzation report shows that the forty*eight wings of the air force have grown to eighty- one. More than one thousand Navy combat ships, inelud- ing three battleships and twenty-five carriers, have been put into active service. The Maritime Commission has activated two thousand cargo vessels.
