Wilson, in Ex-Maritime Head Says No Aid To Morris Testifies White House Gave No Help To Newbold Morris In Ship Deals WASHINGTON (# — Adm. Wil- liam Smith, former head of the old U. S. Maritime Commission, testi- fied today he recalls no White’ House assistance to Newbold Mor- tis in ship deals now under Senate investigation. But Smith told Senate investiga- tors he did remember Washington Lawyer Joseph E. Casey as “throwing his weight around” in some of the negotiations. Smith was before the Senate in- ve tions subcommittee which is into how ex-Rep. Casey, Massachusetts Democrat, and a group of associates made 3% mil- lion dollars from ship deals into which they put only $101,000 of their own money. Mortis, now government corrup- ‘tion-investigater, was drawn into the inquiry by disclosure that three ot tankers handled by Casey’s group wound up (1) in the hands of a Client of Morris’ law firm, and (2) hauling oil China. Morris, in two days in the wit- ness chair, denied any wrongdoing and said he had received nothing from ship deals. However, he ack- nowledged his gross share of his firm's legal fees from the ships b senmtpegi might be $30,000 to $35,- At the close of his testmiony Wednesday, Morris blasted at what he termed the ‘diseased minds” of fhe senatgrs invegtigating him. As a result, there was some talk of. citing him for contempt. KOREAN WAR =AGentinued From Page One) ers,"-he said. ‘They are hard to telt=from the Koreans.

When we got around in a semi-cir- cle to the new advance position, they already had us spotted and were right on the range again. It’s deadly stuff at a time like that. I was lucky. I didn't get a scratch, but it sure did some wiping up in- cluding guys I knew real well.” Queried about morale of the troops, George shrugged. “You might as well do your best. You're in a spot and fighting hard isn’t just a matte rof being brave. You give it what you've got. And if you don't, you can get killed, or you can get court-martialed.” Villareal “ep ne Japan was a pretty place but only modern around on, 4 soi cities. a out. lying.country is what you call ‘real old-fashioned’ with ocd houses and no plumbing.

Milk Increases Are Denied JACKSONVILLE (#—The Florida Milk Commission announced early today it has denied all requests for milk price increases “at this time.” L. K. Nicholas Jr., commission administrator, reported the result of an executive session of the board here which lasted several hours and ended near midnight. The executive session followed open hearings on requests by dairy farmers for increases in the mar- keting areas of Dade-Broward-Mon- roe Counties; Orange - Seminole Counties; Lake County; Volusia County; and Duval - Clay - Nas- sau Counties. Nicholas said the requests were denied pending further study of conditions in the Lake and Orange- Seminole marketing areas. He said the cases can be reopened at any time in the event the commission finds evidence to warrant it. ts and Communists, Villareal said he knew nothing first-hand. “I was on a ship when that came out and all I know is what I read in the papers. But I'm glad I wasn’t there when it happen- ed. I think it was just a minority bunch. The Japanese don’t hit it off with the Commies as far as Ij know.” Young Villareal arrived here reporting back to his army station in South Carolina. “I want my friends to know I'm home for awhile. You see, I'm go- ing to get married, and besides | those C rations are all right, but I like Key West cooking.” ‘The lucky girl is Pearl Roberts and the wedding will take place to- morrow at Justice of the Peace Roy Hamlin's office tomorrow af- ternoon.

The sea urchin and _ stinging coral, not the ray and the barra- cuda, are among the dangers of the marine planet. Finally I held the gun in hand, swam to with/ in a foot of the huge crawfish, and fearfully pulled the trigger on the gun. The spear shot out but the .crawfish darted away before I got him. The men rescued the spear while I rose to the surface.

These pupils will attend Poinci- ana; Truman or Key West High school, according to O’Bryant. Congressional appropriations are necessary for additions to either Truman or KWMS. Yesterday fi- nal approval for the Poinciana expansion came from the U. S. Commissioner of _ Education in Washington. The additions will in- clude toilet facilities, a library and new space in the cafetorium as well as the 16 class rooms.
