Any one of a good many words are so embracing in their amplification a large volume may be written about it, and one of those words is “commercialism.” The Citizen last Tuesday published excerpts from a letter, written by Wallace B. Alig, that appeared in “Americas”, a magazine issued in Washington by the Pan- American Union, in which it was asserted there is “Too much commercialism” in Key West. Mr. Alig, who wrote in a kindly vein and who evidently likes Key West, failed to be specific to support his charge. What applies to Key West today, in its efforts to ex- pand and thereby increase its progress, applied to Miami 30 years or so ago, when its resident population was ap- proximately the same as is Key West’s population today. Miami's late Mayor Sewell and other civic leaders in those days declared, time and again, that Miami's progress would be retarded if its business interests were not ex- panded, and pointed out that the expansion could be at- tained by greater industrial activity. Sewell what he considered to be a fact that Miami would continue to grow if it depended solely on tourists trade, but that the growth would be slow. Miamians, therefore, built-up their payroll by es- tablishing varied industries themselves and by welcoming outside industries to move to Miami or to install branches stressed in that city. The movement was successful, as a result of | which industry has played almost as important a role in the city’s growth as catering to tourists has done. Nine months in the year, when tourist trade is comparatively iasignificant, industry is the most important factor in sus- taining or promoting the progress in that city. Commercial interests must keep up with the growth of any city, whether or not it is a tourist resort. If they ly one instance. As Miami grew, the two daily newspapers published there increased their mechanical, editorial and business forces. The Citizen has done likewise, at an ex- pense of many thousands of dollars. What has happened to The Citizen has happened to all other progress West business interests. But Key West has not been lax in its efforts to pro- be ve Key vide attractions for tourists. Everything that had done in that respect has continued to be don best, many residents thought, that tour True, Key West has lost some of but the city can’t thrive on quaintness.

Rep. Harris (D.-Ark.), chairman of a House interstate subcommit- tee making the investigation, told newsmen here ke will not permit telecasting or broadcasting of com- mittee hearings because the House rules don’t allow it.” Speaker Sam Rayburn recently interpreted the rules to bar televi- sion and newsreel cameras and broadcasting equipment, but not still, or newspaper cameras. The ban applies to tape recordings made for subsequent broadcast. It doesn’t prohibit radio reporters from joining other newsmen in covering House committee hear- ings. Harris said he has no intention of requesting Rayburn to modify his ruling. Rayburn has indicated «ny change would have to be voted by the House itself. The radio-Tvy probe will start Tuesday and will continue through ‘Thursday. Initial witnesses will be members of Congress and inter- ested civic groups and organiza- tions. Later, Harris said, representa- tives of the radio and television industry will be given a chance to express their views. Harris said the committee will study “programming techniques, including the question of responsi- bility for and control over the con- tent of radio and television pro- grams on the part of broadcast- ing licensees.” The investigation was ordered by the House several weeks ago following complaints of some mem- bers that many programs stressed sex and crime. The subcommittee | was told to determine the extent to which programs contain “immoral or otherwise offensive matter, or place improper emphasis upon crime, violence, and corruption.” Another ‘‘morals” probe in the offing is expected to get started soon. It will inquire into comic books, magazines and other “cur- rent literature,” newspapers ex- cepted. A special committee to ;make this investigation will be ‘named by Speaker Rayburn and s expected to be headed by Rep. jathings (D.-Ark.).

Father Frank Woods, an Irish priest who spent 17 years as a missionary in Korea, holds that unique honor. He also holds the American Medal of Freedom, awarded for his work with front- line troops. “But every G. I. in Korea should have been given it before me,” he said Wednesday before boarding the liner Mauretania for his native Ireland. He sailed with five other Far East missionaries to attend the election of a new head of their order, the Columban Fathers. Father Frank, graying man of 48, became the a result of his legendary battle- field exploits. Shortly after the U. S. troops landed in Korea, the stocky priest volunteered his services. Because he was a non-citizen, he was told he couldn’t be put on Uncle Sam’s payroll as a chaplain. That made no difference to Fa- ther Frank. For more than a year he served without rank or pay with the Second Battalion of the U. S. 2nd Infantry Division, an outfit that saw some of the hard- est fighting of the Korean cam- paign. Carrying a rifle himself for his ous patrols to act as interpreter. He gave the last rites to hundreds of American wounded men. Sleep- ing with the officers, eating with the enlisted men, he became the most popular man in the division. Once, after a fire fight, he called on a wounded Korean in a rice paddy to surrender. To his startled surprise 70 fully-armed unwounded Korean soldiers hiding in the pad- dy rose to their feet, their hands lifted. Division officers finally began to worry about Father Frank. They didn’t want to lose him. “They watched me like hawks,” he said. “They wouldn’t allow me to go on patrols anymore, or even to get up-front.” After a year of combat duty, Father Frank returned to his Ko- rean parish. Before he left the divisign he happened to comment that he thought being a sergeant in the American Army was about ‘the finest job in the world The next dz ed on the headquarters bulletin {board unofficially promoting him to the rank of “buck serg tg Every soldier in the company im- m or i | ad rank—by popular demand. | he priest says he wants to re. turn to Korea and would like to jrejoin the American Army he! ., | ri ly two years ago. | are good fighters,” he | vly. “I have no hesitation in saying that.

She is a regular employee at the theater, a Catholic group which produces devotional radio and television programs. She is granted a leave of absence whenever a movie job comes up. She sounded as though she'd just as soon never discuss or consume grapefruit again, but { coaxed her into telling me how the scene came apout. an attractive 41. “The part wasn’t a big onc, because Jean Harlow and Joan Blondell were the fe- male stars.

The prop man had put |some grapefruit on the table, and \I noticed the director, Bill Well- man, and Cagney were conferring and looking at me. Then they came over and told me what they want- ed to do. “It was one of those Wellman touches for which he was famous. I didn’t want to do it, but I also didn’t want to hold up production and harm my career. I had no one to talk to about it, since my agent was off the set. So I agreed to do it—but for one take only.
