The Key West Citizen Newspaper, August 13, 1952, Page 3

/ Mrs. Elwood — Brings In 1907 K.W. Citizen Mrs. Ray Elwood, 607 Ashe St., recently brought in a copy of The Key West Citizen dated May 6, 1907. She is curious to know if any- one has an older copy? As a sample of days gone by, let’s check the old newspaper. . . May 6th was a Saturday. On the front page we find that “Mr. Wm. McKillip will make temporary re- pairs on the city clock so that it will keep correct time. Next week he will thoroughly overhaul the clock and place it in good repair. “The Aldermen would save money by employing a competent man to take charge of the clock and keep it in running order.” (Reporter’s note, Aug., 1952: Modern commissioners might take a hint.) Advertisement on front page— Meet me at THE OLIVETTE SA- LOON, “NUF SED”. The 1907 edition contains quite a few advertisements aimed chiefly at the ladies. On page 3, we find an ad that should have made the men sit up and take notice! “3 Bottles of Whiskey Free and 6 Full quarts of Carolina Whiskey for only $2.95.” No wonder they used to have barbershop quartets in those days! Page 4 gives a list of first class passengers brought in from Tampa aboard the Olivette. Second-class passengers are dismissed with a brief “7 were aboard.” Society must have been snobbish. Traffic accidents also occurred in those days for we find: ‘Roy McKillip was able to be out today, having recovered from injuries re- ceived early in the week while try- ing to stop a runaway mule.” Principal likeness to The Key West Citizen of yesteryear and to- day’s paper is the sale price — 5 cents. Can you mention anything else that still sells for the same amount it did@ 46 years ago? Dies Of Polio MIAMI (® — Charles Marshall Beckham, 29-year-old son of Dade County Juvenile Judge Walter H.

The other charged the company and three of its officials conspired to buy the batteries and to falsify the records.

KELLY WASHINGTON (® — A Commu- nist scheme to infiltrate the Boy Scout movement and feed its youngster-members “Communism with sugar coating” was described in sworn testimony made public today by Senate investigators.

The report includes a transcript | of sworn testimony given ~ last | March 5 by Harvey M. Matusow, | Dayton, Ohio, a self-styled former Communist now an agent of the Ohio Commission on Un-American Activities. The hearing was behind closed doors, Matusow said the Communists, | after a futile effort in the 1930's | {to undermine the scout movement, | switched to the infiltration plan. under which they hoped to mix | secret Red agents among the | scouts, “Now they are apparently at- tempting to infiltrate the Boy Scouts, rather than set up an op- Posing organization?” He was asked by Donald D. Connors, a | subcommittee investigator. “Yes,” the witness replied. “I might cite the example of Don West,” Matusow said, nam ing West as a Baptist clergyman and Communist organizer in Geor gia who formerly lived at Bethel, Ohio. Referring to Ohio Un-American | Commission hearings, Matusow | testified: | | “I am taking this from the tes timony of John and Martha Edston. and they stated that Mr. West had seven churches under his jurisdic tion, and a Boy Scout troop was organized in each of the churches jand his plan was to indoctrinate | “I met him (West) at a meet |ing of the Communist party in 1951." The subcommittee published pho: tographic copies of Communist lit | Young | interested in comm Filter Into Boy Scout Movement Revealed erature Matusow said was used in 1930 and later in an effort to set | up a Communist led organization known as “Young Pioneers” as a rival to the Boy Scouts. “The Boy Scouts is an orgatiza- tion for capitalist wars!’ read cap- tions emblazoned on the covers of this literature. ‘Smash the Boy | Scouts! Join the Young Pioneers!” The document was larded with slo- gans that ‘Boy Scouts are for boss- es’ wars” and “Boy Scouts take | part in murder of striking work- ers.” Matusow said that as a Com- munist he saw a h powered plan evolved to infiltrate high schools, community and even church clubs, and labor unions. He termed Scout infiltration a part of this plan. Another witness, Herbert Romer- stein, Brooklyn, N. Y., told of be- ing recruited into the Communist- front as a hi the age of 15 Romerstein said he finally divorced himself from communism.
