The Citizen thinks it is a good idea to play-up tarpon fishing in local waters as one of the attractions tourists may enjoy in Key West at this time of the year. Peter B. Roberts, who has kept a fish market at the foot of Front street 56 years, does not pretend to know much about the art of rod-and-reel fishing, but he has kept in close touch with the increase or decrease of this or that fish in Key West waters. He has informed The Citizen that during his more than three score years of keeping in close touch of the sea and what comes out of it in Key West waters, he had nev- er before, in all his long experience, seen so large a school of tarpon as he saw last Monday off Curry’s abutment. He explained that the tarpon had been baited-up by small brims and shads, caught in shrimp nets, and shrimp that had been damaged in the process of catching them, thrown overboard from shrimp boats, berthed on the Key West Bight side of the wharf or abutment. Mr. Roberts added he would not venture a guess as to the size of the school that covered an area half a block in size, and that, if he did, what would appear to be an exaggeration, real- ly would be en underestimation. There were hundreds and hundreds of them, tumbling and breaking, he said, from a few feet from the abutment and the boats to well out into Main Ship Channel. He expressed regret that nobody was enjoying the | sport of catching some oy the tarpon and stressed the de- light sportsfishermen would have in casting among them and having their lines tauten almost as soon as their hooks struck the water. Sailfish are running also in local waters (Captain William Wickers caught one on the Fourth), though not in as large numbers as they do in the winter. But amber- jacks, another hair-raising fighter, are just as plentiful now as they are during any other time of the year. Sportsfishing would lure many a tourist here in the summer if he knew about it. We have the fish, and we should endeavor to iet tourists know about them. Thursday, July 10, 1952 | Today’s Business Mirror By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (#—Pencil-pushing drudgery—the making and keep- ing of business records and re- ports—may yield soon to smaller and cheaper mechanical brains. Electronic computers can figure in a few hours what a battery of clerks takes months to compute. But engineers say these machines soon may come into more general use in business due to new de- velopments: Electronic tubes only one-third the size of those now used; and a new substitute, the transitor—little larger than your finger nail—which can do many of the tasks the tube now per- forms, without overheating as the tube often does. These developments could bring the mechanical brain down to a size and cost practical for busi- nesses staggering under a mount- ing load of clerical work. The num- ber of-pencil pushers and typists has increased in the past 25 years out of proportion to the increase in factory workers. The expense is terrific. Some companies see the me- chanical brain as the answer. Al- ready some 100 companies, large and small, are developing elec- tronic computers. Walter Mitchell Jr., managing director of the Con- trollers Institute, says the ma- chines may bring about “a major revolution” in office work. Controllers are the men who do the mastermind figuring and keep the records for business. Mitchell foresees the day when “we shall need supervisors and management accountants adequately trained to understand these machines, their potentials and their application.” One company already has a ma- chine that keeps a complete rec- ord of 10,000 items of inventory. It is about the height and width of an office desk and can pass through a 30-inch door. On request, the machine produces a typewritten record of any item or group of items—as fast as the typewriter can pound it out. Other machines can produce through electronics in eight hours financial reports which consume 50 man-days to prepare by pencil pushing. Daniel M. Sheehan, vice president of Monsanto Chemical Co., St. Louis, thinks “future elec- tronic equipment may produce them in one hour.” If business turns to these ma- chines, would seem to be a reduction in clerical workers, since reports now being made manually could be made with fewer clerks and less expensively, but machines also } produce new jobs. Paul G. Drescher, vice president |pital Service of New York, points out that no mechanical brain can work unless it is fed material. And {this is prepared by men and | women. The lightning-like speed of the electronic computer also must be geared to the comparatively slow | speed of the electric typewriters and punched tapes which prepare and feed the data to the compu- ters and electronic memory units. | he really important thing the People’s Forum Thanks The Citizen, Editor, The Citizen: ‘Thank you for still another book which has arrived for our library .. this time “Bahamas Murder | Case’. ‘ We appreciate these contribu- tions very much. Cordially, Bessie Schuck Librarian Lt. Eugene Dente Reports To NOB Lieutenant Eugene Dente, USN, recently reported to the U.S. Fle-t Sonar School, | Key West, for duty as an instructor in sub- marine warfare. He began his naval career in November of 1940 as an enlisted man, serving on board the USS New York and the USS Wyoming until July of 1942 when he was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy. He graduated from the Academy and received his com- mission as Ensign in June of 1945. He served in the Pacific Thea- ter of War on board the USS Helm (DD 388) until 1946, and the USS Sutherland (DD 743) until 1947. Lt. Dente graduated from the Submarine School at New Lon- don, Connecticut in 1947. He re- turned to the Pacific on board the USS Carbonero (SS 337) where he remanied until 1950. He was transferred from the USS Carbonero to the Electronics School in San Francisco. After completing the electronics course, Lt. Dente served on board the USS Bashaw (SS 241) until June of 1952 when he reported to the U. S. Fleet Sonar School, Lt. and Mrs. Dente have one daughter, Adrienne Jean, age 16 months.

To accomplish this, it employs a trained investigator; studies con- ditions leading to crime and cor- ruptness; sponsors legislation to correct these conditions, Financial support is obtained through volun- tary membership and contribu- tions. In Hillsborough County, any per- son of good moral character and a voter may join the commission in one of four classees: regular, contributing, sustaining, or associ- ate membership. Corporations m join through a duly accredited re-! presentative. No person who holds an elective job is permitted to serve as an of- ficer, a director, a member of a committee, or to be employed by the commission while he holds such an office. The Tampa group has a board of directors composed of fifteen members plus a president, 1st. vice president, 2nd. vice president, secretary, and a treasurer. There are two paid employees, the oper- ating director and his secretary. The above covers in brief, the Hillsborough County Crime Com- mission. Key West Observers Many folks hére have had reason or sufficient in- terest to watch its progress. It has not accomplished any miracles — no more than the Miami or Chica- go crime commissions. However, such places are on their way to cleaning up local sordid conditions. Any job that must be accomplished through legislation and education takes time. If we do not do something here in Key West to keep abreast of the times, we're going to find ourselves looked upon more than ever as a frontier outpost. By forming a county crime commission now, we could work in conjunction with neighboring cities, | in Key West} OF OURS , thereby making everyone’s job easier and more successful. What about it? Taxing Utilities | _ More taxes are in the offing an |.there doesn’t seem to be anyone | willing to fight them. After they go into effect, the public will start | howling but by that time it will be | too late. Have the city commissioners stopped to think who is going to collect utility taxes? If the utility | companies do it, we'll have to pay |for this extra book-keeping? And why does Dave King think | of twtney-five dollars because of j luxurious appliances, JUST WHY does he figure that person should be taxed a proportionately lower amount than the suggested 5 per- cent which will be levied on run- of-the-mill consumers, The whole thing smacks of that old saying: Those that have ‘gets’, while the poor sucker that doesn’t have money enough to hire law- rs or is incapable of competing | ith orators gets socked where it |hurts him.most — his pocketbook. | Jack Delaney proposed the tax. |I have always considered him a friend of the little man but can only presume now that, since en- tering the political field, he has | forgotten the hardships many of us |face in attempting to meet month- ly utility bills. | City commissioners flaunt the need of an air-conditioned city hall as being necessary. We need a city hall - granted. | But not just so that the commis- sioners can sit in comfort. They are spending the people’s money. How many of them have their homes air-conditioned where the Boney. comes out of their own poc- et? Enough for today. . that if a person has a utility bill! No Action On Tidelands WASHINGTON i#—Sen. Holland from giving up the fight’ for clear state title to the submerged coast- al lands. Congress without acting on President Tru- man’s veto of a bill which would have returned control of the dis- puted lands to the states. The veto was not called up for a vote, but Holland conceded at one point that the bill’s supporters could not mus- j ter the two-thirds vote required to override the veto. He was more optimistic on long- Tange prospects. “Look when you check the list of men most prominently mentioned for the presidency,” he said. ‘‘The chances are excellent we can put across our bill next year.” He said Sen. Taft of Ohio, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gov. Earl Warren of California among the Republican aspirants all have publicly supported state ownership of the oil-rich offshore coastal areas. Sen. Russell of Georgia and Speaker Rayburn (D.-Tex.) of the House, among the Democrats, take the same position, he said. Ray- burn has been mentioned as a Democratic presidential possibili- ty, but has announced no plans to seek the nomination.
