While the installation is being made, the two Key West Firemen will attend the Miami Fire School to learn the latest techniques in fire ting with chemical foam. Then tects return they will instruct the Key West fire fighters in the use of the material. ‘The installation of the foam tank is said to be a great step forward, since it reduces the damage in fighting fires by eliminating the ex- cessive use of water and the per- sonnel necessary in quelling most blazes. The work is being done through the cooperation of Chief Chase of the Miami Fire Department, who recently spent three days in Key West looking over the fire fighting setup here. While the truck is away, Chief Harry Baker of the Naval Station Fire Department will have his un- its standing by to answer alarms in the Poinciana area. City Manager King also said that work preparatory to the calling for bids on repairs to the city hall is being completed.

H., who says he signed a Com- munist Party membership appli- cation in 1934 because “‘they told me they wanted to win a strike in which I was involved” was or- dered deported Wednesday. Federal Judge Charles E. Wy- zanski Jr., ruled “‘with reluctance” that Carl A. Latva, who signed the Communist application, paid 50 cents and “never heard from them again,” must be deported to his native Finland. Judge Wyzanski said that under the McCarran Act he was bound to uphold the deportation of Latva. Latva, whose two sons served in the U. S. Navy im World War Il, said at his home: “An immigrant like me. . . I don’t know right from wrong be- cause I hadn’t been here very long. Then 20 years later because I tell the truth they want to break up my family and take me away from the country I love.” Latva came to the United States as a child of 13 from the village of Pori, Finland and has worked in New Hampshire textile mills since he was 17. In 1941, Latva, who is married to a native-born girl, filed a dec- laration of intention to become an American citizen. Eight years later | he filed a petition for United States Citizenship which is still pending. It was the application for citi- zenship that led to Latva’s trou- bles. He testified before immigration officials at that time that he had joined the Communist Party at the urging of party leaders because poses of org: were “‘or- ganizing unions, and if there was a strike they appealed to all local groups to raise funds to help strik- aa” : ‘The case came before Judge Wy- zanski when Latva filed a petition | for a writ of habeas corpus against District. Director of Immigration and Naturalization Henry Nicolls. Latva said “I don’t blame any- body. I don’t blame the govern- ment. I blame the law. This is a law that is not just.” “No one ever told me that these people wanted to overthrow the government by force,” he added. “All they told us was that they wanted to win the strike.” Judge Wyzanski allowed Latva to remain. free on bail of $2,000 unless U.

ER FOR BETTER GREEK TROOP FIRE ON BULGARIANS ATHENS, Greece t# — Greek troops opened fire this morning on Bulgarian soldiers on the Greek- | request to send truant officers to claimed border island of Gamma, in the Evros River, the Greek general staff announced today.

Panhandler Willie Likes Oklahoma By LLOYD WOLFE OKLAHOMA CITY # — Willie the Panhandler told wide-eyed po- licemen Wednesday he thinks Ok- lahoma City people have hearts of gold. Willie, who is probably the na- tion’s best panhandler, said he came to Oklahoma City from Dal- las Tuesday because things were getting slow in the Texas city. So slow, in fact, he couldn’t afford to keep up the payments on his new Lincoln and give a young chauffeur $35 a week to drive it for him. His first day in Oklahoma netted him $64, he said, and Wednesday was going about the same. Willie is 34, and has been para- lyzed from the waist down since childhood because of infantile pa- ralysis. He travels in a dilapidated little wagon which he propels with his hands. ; Two scout car officers arrested Willie when his chauffeur tried to change $50 worth of nickels and dimes into paper money. “This boy ain’t doing anything wrong,” Willie protested. “I gave him the money. I pay him $35 a week as my chauffeur. You know I can’t drive the car myself.” In his private papers police un- covered a book from a Dallas Au- tomobile financing firm showing Willie pays $143 a month for his to boycott the summer VICTORY CASH MARKET 1028 Truman Ave We Deliver GRADE A MEDIUM Tel. 1080 EGGS .....« 63e FANCY LONG GRAIN PATNA RIC 2» 29e LIBBY'S ARMOUR'S EVAPORATED ILK 3 Ale VIENNA SAUSAGE... = 19¢ ROSEDALE OLEO | PEAS AJAX COFFEE SUNSHINE Hamburger « 59: FIRST CUT Pork Chops « 45: Thursday, August 7, 1952 ‘THE KEY WES) CITIZEN = Page § new Lincoln. “My overhead with the chauffeur is $283 a month before I get a bite to eat or buy my clothes,” wailed Willie. “A dollar today is worth about 30 cents normally.” Police officers said they would: n't file charges if Willie left town and went back to Dallas.
