ALEXANDER ON KOREA Field Marshal Earl Alexander, British Defense Min- ister, recently completed an inspection of the Korean bat- tlefield and announced that the Allied position was a stronger one than he had imagined when he left London. Lord Alexander, who was probably the most popular British commander with American officers in World War Il, believes a new Communist offensive would be brought to a halt with heavy losses. The British Defense Minister also made an interest- observation on the truce talks at Panmunjom. He said n “an absolutely ps United Nations delegation had take right and correct line,” and added : were in favor of the U. N. declaration that no prisoners of war should be forced to return to Communist territory at bayonet point. Alexander's words of encouragement about the tac- tical situation are heartening, although the tough British defense official would not make a prediction on the out- come of armistice negotiations. When asked about these negotiations, he said only: “My guess is no better than yours... If they want an armistice, they can get it.” It has been pretty obvious so far that the Chinese do want an armistice and about the only thing the. United Nations can do in Korea is to continually apply military pressure on the Communists, perhaps expanding it in an effort to force the Communists to seek an armistice. Just how much force, and additional force, is needed in this effort is a delicate question and one which may involve the lives of thousands of Americans. NEW ATOMIC SUBMARINE ENGINE An atomic power plant for submarines is almost com- pleted and will be tested very soon. The Navy has been working on this secret device for some time and expects to take over world submarine leadership when the atomic submarine engine is placed in its submarines. The engine is reputedly able to generate electricity almost indefinitely without refueling. The engine is light enough to be moved, may be used in a variety of sea, land and air weapons, and is expected to eventually revolution- ize all forms of travel. Graciousness is misunderstood by brutes as weakness. Snobs thrive in both big and small towns, and are in- variably gelfish, frustrated people. ___ SLICE OF HAM that the British people’ Damaged Line Delays Alarm Citizen Staff Photo COINCIDENCE struck hard at Perky Lodge over the week-end. . An automobile accident af the entrance to the place destroyed telephone communications with Key West. Monday morning, the Lodge caught afire and resicents naa to drive to Boca Chica to Perky Lodge, twelve miles north of Key West, burnt to the ground yesterday morning. At 5:45 o'clock, Art Harthon, a Chief in the USN, and caretaker of the place, spotted the fire. Bill Clarke, one of the co-owners of the establishment was also present. Harthon attempted to gain en- trance to the burning building to make sure no one was iaside. Flames drove him away, In the meantime, Clarke tried to call the Key West Fire Dept. An automobile accident that occurred} last Saturday night at the inter- section of the Perky entrance ; and Highway No. 1, had torn down | the telephone lines, however, and | it was necessary to drive to Boca | Chica to turn in the alarm. The No. 3 Fire Company re- ceived the call at approximately 7 a.m. By the time of their arrival | the building was a total loss and | they could do nothing more than prevent nearby houses from catch- ing atfire. Witnesses estimate that within ten minutes after me fire was first discovered, it would have been impossible to save the building. | Large stocks of whiskey, as well | as restaurant supplies probably! helped to feed the flames. Luckily! there was no wind blowing and by | |playing a hose stream on buildings | fifty yards distant, Clarke was able to save them. New Owners | Perky Lodge had just been ac-/ quired recently by new owners --| {Bill Clarke, Charlie Bolero, and | | Eddie Alesky, They were in the process of cleaning and renovat- | ing it in the hope of getting the! place opened for the 4th. of July, week-end. Clarke attributes the} cause of the fire to defective wir- | ing. | “You can tell the public that in, spite of this hard luck,” said Clarke, “we intend to build anoth- er place. This time it will be of! CBS construction and will be locat- | ed nearer the highway.” | Seven Unemployed Receive $151 | TALLAHASSEE, Fifty of Flori- da’s 67 counties reported mecting 6,515 weekly payments during the week ending June 20, averaging about $16.60 each, for a total of $113,649. This compared to the when 6,591 recipients were paid $114,708 in 57 counties. In 1951. covering the same peri jod, $118,395 was paid to 7,347 with }15 counties not reporting any pay- ments.

Among those at the reunion of the range riders this year was Mrs. Susan Haughian, about whom I have written before, Mrs, Haugh- ian came here as a sprightly lass from Ireland. Now in her 65th year, she has 10 children and 24 grandchildren — and she is as sprightly as ever. Today she and her family own or lease more than 100,000 acres, ‘but there were times when she and the kids weren’t even sure of their groceries. Susan has had a rugged life, full of many troubles. “But I wouldn’t change one mo- ment of my life if I could,” she said stouttly. Courage has been her armor all the way, and it still is. She is a keen and active busi- nesswoman, and wants to keep ranging as long as the Lord will allow her. “Tm not going to be a baby sitter \for 24 grandchildren,” she said, laughing.
