While standing on the Post Office steps, this reporter counted 11 out-of-state cars in 10 minutes. License tags from Ne- braska, New Jersey. and New York were seen. Cars from Illinois. Ohio and Texas. Vir- ginia. New Mexico and In- diana went by. South Caro- lina and Louisiana and even Minnesota all ‘formed a parade in the 10-minute re- view of traffic. Though Monroe county cars outnumbered the foreign tags. the variety of origins show that the summer sea son is extending beyond its usual Au 1 deadline.

Aug. 18— (?)—A meeting has been ar- ranged for Tuesday between American and Russian repre- sentatives in Washington to talk over Russia's six-year- old Lend-Lease bill of eleven billion dollars. The State De- partment announced that without any advance warn- ing a Russian Embassy trans- lator dropped into a depart- ment office and said that Mos- cow wanted to talk about lend-lease again. The depart- ment explained thé translat- or (Ome Myschkov) has the habit of popping in unexpect- edly. This time he appeared in the office of George Trues- dell, an official in the depart- ment. Truesdell said that the translator announced simply that Russia wanted a new meeting, but he ignored @ question as to whether Mos- cow had anything to offer in the way of settling the old lend-lease account. Nearly five years of off- again, on-again talks were broken off last May with both nations deadlocked over how much Russia should pay, and with Russia refusing to re- turn lend-lease ships. The Soviet argument was that the United States didn't need the ships anyway. ‘Up 20 Percent Over 1950 3,370 More Passenger Cars Travel Southward | Through Toll Gate in | July, 1951 Officials Say The number of cars toming to | the Keys from the mainland rose }20 percent last month over July } Road and Toll Gate commission’s | latest report.
