"WEST'S CONCERN IN CITIZEN RY ABOUT SENATOR RUSSELL | The South is now stronger nationally in politics than it has ever been, as was demonstrated in a story publish- ed in The Citizen Friday about Senator Richard Russell | of Georgia, whose announcement as a candidate for the | presidential Democratic nomination whipped up political interest throughout the country, That interest was as widespread among Republicans as it was. among meth- bers of Senator Russell’s party. His entering the race enhearted the Republicans, who saw in it a split in the | Democratic party, wider than the split of four years ago. Key Westers, who keep an eye on_ politics, local, | state, national, know Senator Russell has opposed sev- | eral of, President Truman’s pet programs, particularly | ed as enlisted men of field, Key West, greet Force upon the latte: dian-American fleet Identified above is Ch greeting Flight Sgt.

There is no one here in Key West authorized to give treat- nent to animals and I am re- ly informed that they are ng in great numbers where neny could be saved. I know there are a number of animal lovers who would gladly make a donation to get a com- yetent veternarian here in Key West. In the meantime, there is a very sick puppy at 611 Duval street. A shot of penicillin would very likely save its life. The only alternative I have is to call the Humane Sociecy and have it “put to sleep"—which would NOT HAPPEN if we in Key West had a veternarian, Will someone come to the aid of the puppy? K. W. HOWARD, “WANTS INFORMATION ON HAVANA-KW FERRY” Editor, The Citizen: Upon the suggestion of Con- gressman Lantaff’s office, I am writing you to inquire the pres- ent status of the proposal to re vive the Key West to Havana automobile ferry. The Congress- man’s office has heard nothing about it, but I have read several magazine and newspaper ac- counts which insist the event is imminent. We should like to run this information in an article on Key West we are preparing for a forthcoming issue of ‘Americas,’ the monthly magazine of the Pan American Union published n English, Spanish, ane Portu- yuese. Among the stories I have heard is one that says a brand new vessel accommodating several hundred automobiles has been built and is in dock up the coast waiting for the go-ahead signal to proceed to Key’ West to start the new service. I, myself, was in Key West recently and made some inquiries about the sub- ject, but all I got was the run- around, and one explanation that it was a matter of “politics.” As a result, I decided to wait until T got home and to take it up with the Congressman. I wonder if you would be good enough to explain to me Just what is happening in this matter, and when, if ever, the 2,000 volumes on the occult and tric current.

Feb. 26, 1952 “SEPARATE LAW FOR BIG FELLOWS?" itor, The Citizen: f The reluctance of the city fathers to modernize our traffic system with one-way streets and one-sided parking has this much to be said for it: you can’t drive fast in downtown \Key West and keep a full set of those tin-foil fenders they hook onto cars these days. On busy arteries, such as Truman, Duval, Simon- ton and Eaton, the speed limit is generally observed. But just try clocking the trucks on Palm Avenue or Roosevelt Boulevard. | Ouch. | Last week I was inching a bicycle along the Garrison Bight sidewalk with one foot on the savement when the constabulary intervened politely. While I was being chided for my dangerous | contempt for the lives of return- | ng fishermen, three huge trucks | charged by at what seemed about fifty miles an hour, causing sev | eral of said fishermen to step | lively.
