(#—Presi- lent Truman declared today the United States Air Force in Korea “ean bomb the enemy at will, almost anywhere in his territory.” He coupled this obvious reply to Sen. Robert A.

After just 15 minutes of delibera- tion, the six member, all male jury brought in a verdict of “guil- ty’ to a charge of manslaughter. However, the panel recommended mercy. The 22 year old sailor from the USS Gilmore stood with bowed head as he heard County Judge Thomas S. Caro pronounce sen- tence for the killing of the 50 year old winter visitor whose brutally beaten body was found early on the morning of Feb, 2nd on the side- | walk at the north end of Simonton street.

In his charge to the jury, Judge Caro instructed them to bring in a verdict of seeond de- gree murder, manslaughter or aquittal. In one hour of final argument, marked by frequent verbal fire- works between County Solicitor A- lan B. Cleare and Attorneys Wil- fiam V. Albury and Enrique Es- quinaldo, the defense attempted to show that Hill had a moral right to defend his honor and pointed oug that the absence of a death wea- pon should clear the sailor since the brawny sailor had admitted te Photo by Don Joseph of the hexagonal .19th century room, the living room, or on the} patio.

As a result of the use of the spe- cial stamp, many such cases have been considered by the Rent Advi- sory Board since its organization, the Area Rent Director said. “Of course, the Key West Area Rent Office makes every effort to reach a decision itself that will, in effect, give the landlord a fair rent while at the same time protecting the tenant from exploitation,” Knight said. “Nevertheless we are always quite willing to see such a case be- fore the Rent Advisory Board if there is any further ground for dis- pute. After all, Rent Advisory Board members know their locality better than anyone else can possib- ly know it. “And Rent Advisory Boards are always carefully balanced so that landlords and tenants will have equal representation while majori- ty representation goes to public in- terest spokesmen.

He spoke bitterly of “loose talk lately to the effect that our de- fense program has been a failure” and said much of it “is politically inspired—the kind of talk you would expect in an election year.” To “‘set the record straight,” he declared: 1. The United States now has }91 Air Force wings in operation, will have 95 in operation within }two months and 143 air wings “in two or three years.” He said the U. S. had 48 wings two years ago. 2.
