S. to lose the battle of aircraft production,” Rep. Gross (R.-Ia.), said in a statement pre- Pared for floor delivery. He told the House Russia beat} the U. S. to the punch in putting to use the huge presses developed in Germany for assembly-line pro- duction of airplanes. Shortly after V-E Day, Gross said, the Russians and Americans discovered the German method. The Americans took two German Presses, each of about 20,000 tons, while Russia grabbed the largest, 50,000 tons, he said, adding: “Here, then, was the master key to the mass-production of metal aircraft. The Russians recognized it immediately and went right to work copying the German presses and gearing plane production ac- cordingly.” But, the U. S. Air Force, Gross made no move to take ad- vantage of this process until 1953 Then it brought the two 20,000-ton presses to this country and asked Congress for 210 million dollars to build more presses. The fund was appropriated, Gross said, but it won't mean; (?) Photo Linda Davila mase-preductiog ‘not until 1953 at the eerliest. Gross described this as the main |reason the U.

It’s just too dangerous,” O’Ma- honey said.

There is no question that Key West has trees and many ‘beauti- ful and rare ones, but there is al- so no question that in the effort to secure more even and adequate rainfall and more equable climate, more trees would be of great help. We have no avenues of Royal Palms and other fine trees like Biscayne Boulevard which gives Miami much of its elegance and dignity or the Camino Real of Cu- ba that is lined with majestic Ro- yal Palms for nearly some 1200 miles from Havana to Oriente. Those who were here during Sep- tember and October of 1948 will not forget very soon the 1500 tall trees that this Island lost during | twenty foot spread of leafage, however, throws off some ninety gallons of moisture a day and | that is a lot of welcome air con- ditioning for any one of the hot Spring and Summer days coming | UP. More trees mean more breezes and more rain, not to mention bet ter and more even and cool cli- mate, as well as beauty and rest for the eyes. Trees and green plants and leaf- | age are nature's natural air con- | ditioning for out-of-doors and Key West can use more and more of them on every street and around every house and public building. The importance of trees and greenery is being recognized in many other places even where they aren’t a definite necessity as they are here in Key West. All of the new housing developments in New York and New Jersey are built around parks and play- grounds and trees are maintained at regular intervals on all the st. | area. That, of course brings up the problem of sidewalks, and the fact that the roots of trees often tear and break up the surrounding sidewalks. New York and New Jer- | sey have solved that problem by using the English Plane tree or sy- the two huricanes of that year.

Apathy among the voters was ‘pronounced, if judged by the small \nhmbers who drifted into the vari- ous polling places this morning. For Monroe County voters the big show took place om May 6. To- day, even though each citizen's ; vote counts toward the election of a Governor of the state, Key West- ers stayed home in droves. Campaign workers for the two Democratic candidates were busy carrying voters to the polls. But even they could not stir up lively erest among them. The Board of Canvassers. will start counting the vote tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. when the votes from the Keys’ three precincts are brought down. ¢ Only 133 absentee votes, by mail and in person will be counted. This is the number that got in before yesterday's 5 p.m. deadline. This morning at 11:05 Supervisor of Registration Sam Pinder receiv- ed five absentee ballots. His as- sistant Mrs. Edna Mae Bullman \ immediately marked them “re- \seived too late”. “Of these five latecomers, two Monroe County's decision on Gov- ernor should be known by 7:45 to- night. The light vote, plus the fact that the small number of absentee ballots cannot influence the choice too greatly will make for prompt information on whether Dan Mc- Carty or Brailey Odham have be- come the choice of people here. Champions of both sides will have to wait till late tonight or early to- morrow morning to learn how the mainland voted for Governor. East Germans Strike Back Require Special Permit For W.
