Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, May 16, 1952 NAVY MAKES DRAMATIC TRANSFER Hospital Corpsman Taken To Submarine By Destroyer-Escort Saufley In very rough seas, a dramatic transfer of a hospital corpsman to a submarine was effected by the destroyer escort USS Saufley (ED- DE-465) at shortly after 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. The submarine Amberjack (SS- 522) who was operating with the Saufley radied the Saufley re- questing her to transfer her lead- ing hospital corpsman aboard the Amberjack immediately. One of the.submarine’s crew had received a head injury while the submarine ‘was rolling in the heavy sea, and the seriousness of the injury could | not be determined. The Saufley’s Commanding Offi- eer, Commander J. F. Miller, Jr., @etermined that the sea was too rough to lower a boat. The sea at the time was estimated at state 5 or 6 with waves from 10 to 15 feet im height and was being whipped up by a 25 to 30 knot wind. In- stead, it as decided to make the transfer by means of a small col- lapsable rubber life raft. ‘The submarine maneuvered into @ position about 100 yards to lee- ward of the Saufey and Hospital- man First Class Jesse A. Sheffield, USN, of 1018 James street, Key West, and Seaman Joseph K. Win- sey, USN, of 4115 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. were lowered in- to the rubber raft. A line was fired across to the submarine and attached to the raft. Sheffield and Winsey narrowly missed being overturned as a wave | tossed them against the fantail of the Saufley. Five minutes later, despite the fact that the Amber- jack’s hull was almost constantly awash and the sea was continually breaking across it, they were taken | out as an opponent of gambling safely aboard the submarine. Sheffield was able to administer first aid to the injured man, and | determined that the injury was not of a serious enough nature to war- rant the submarine’s immediate returf to port. Raids Cause $2600 Damage GAINESVILLE (® — The under- ‘wear raid staged by male students on women's dcrmitories and so- orlty houses last week caused damage fixed by University Presi- | dent J. Hillis Miller at $2,600. Personal property loss by wom- en students was $1,800, Dr. Miller said Thursday. This included $20 taken from the Delta Gamma So- rority House. Damage to buildings ‘was around $800, he said. Governor's Race Today By CHRIS MacGILL GAINESVILLE (® — Dan Mc- Carty urged his supporters Thurs- day night not to let his big first- primary vote make them over- confident of victory in the runoff election for the governorship May 27. “Don’t take anything granted,” he appealed. “Work just as hard for the next few days as you did before the first primary. If you're going to be out of town be sure to cast an absentee ballot.” The Fort Pierce candidate for governor failed by 1.06 per cent to win a first-primary majority which would have given him the Democratic nomination without a runoff and made state history. He polled 361,427 votes. Brailey Od- ham, his second-primary opponent, Bot 232,565. McCarty’s scheduled campaign today included Tallahassee, Bris- tol, Blountstown, Panama City and a windup in Pensacola with an 8 p. m. talk. He told audiences in North Flor- ida—where most of the state in- stitutions are located—that the state has ‘almost completely fal- len down in keeping institutions in line with growth and develop- ment in other fields. These are things we have to pay attention to.” He cited particularly the over- crowded Florida farm colony for feeble-minded children at Gaines- ville, the State Hospital for the Insane at Chattahoochee and said he was anxious to do something for them. The former speaker of the Flori- da House continued his attack on Odham as a candidate who ‘‘makes ,@ lot of the fact that he turned |down a bribe—but ladies and gen- tlemen, the six years I was a member of the Legislature no one ever offered Dan McCarty a | bribe.” McCarty declared Odham, a for- mer state representative came for | but had backed a “harness racing bill which would havé opened an entirely new field of legalized gambling in Florida.” The bill did not pass. Questioning Odham’s right to call himself a friend of the Schools, McCarty said the Sanford candi. date voted while a member of the Legislature for amendments which would have cut the heart out of the minimum foundation program. The minimum foundation pro- gram is a complex setup under which state aid is apportioned to county school systems. McCarty told the voters he fa- vors a cost of living salary in- crease for Florida school teachers |to keep them from leaving the | profession for better paying jobs in private industry. Discussing the state welfare pro- gram he said he was “sick and | tired of candidates wh osay “vote | HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—Don’t sneer at British humor, advises Yolande Donlan, a Yankee who found fame in the Isles. “The English appreciate humor just as well as Americans,” the actress remarked. “And in some ways, they’re even sharper.” Miss Donlan is an attractive blonde who reversed the usual England-to-Hollywood success for- mula. Born in New Jersey to a show business family, she grew up in Hollywood. She played in the chorus in movie and stage musi- cals and graduated to featured roles in stock. Her big break came when she was chosen to play the Judy Holliday role in the London company of “Born Yesterday.” “That was my first introduction to the English sense of humor,” she said. ‘We were afraid the British audiences wouldn't under- stand a play that was so typically American. But they laughed even more than Americans did. Our show clocked more laughs than the New York company. “I think the reason was that the English are very appreciative of that kind of humor. They are fa- miliar with Damon Runyon, and I'm. sure ‘Guys and Dolls’ would be a great hit over there. We got laughs when we didn’t expect them. For instance, they laughed every time I was referred to as a ‘dumb broad.’ They thought that was hilarious.” Miss Donlan added that the Eng- lish can see the funny side of any- thing, including their own econom- ic plight. “After all, England is practically the only place left in the world where food and other things are rationed,” she cited. “The English went through terrible things dur- ing the war and still are endur- ing hardships. Yet they are able to joke about their troubles. That's the true test of a sense of humor.” She has a theory about English audiences, too: “They are much more responsive than those in the U. S. I think the reason is that the English are naturally more reserved in their personal lives. But when they get together in a theater, they let themselves go. If thehy like a show, they will go wild. That is why Americans like Judy Garland, Danny Kaye and Betty Hutton say they never have had a reception like the ones they get in England. The English take the stars they like into their hearts. “But the audiences can be dem- onstrative in another way, too. On first nights, if they don’t like a show, they let the actors know. They will listen for the first act. for me and I'll pay you twice as much as before.’” He declared such tactics do nothing but disappoint aged wel- fare recipients when candidates jcan’t deliver on their promises and said he will pledge only that pensioners “‘will get every dollar | possible within the limits of the ability of the State of Florida to pay.” Dress your best... look your best... fee! your best in a value shoe styled in the modern mode with emphasis oo comfort...

She is in Hollywood to sign up a name actor to appear with her in “The Weather Man.” She intends to continue her ca- reer on the other side of the drink. She might accept Hollywood offers next year—“but only to establish my name in thhe dollar countries.” Being a California girl, she nat- ually misses the sunshine in Eng- land. “But the English even make a joke out of the fog,” she re- marked. “Before I left, we had a week of sunshine. The English said, “Well, you've had your summer.
