It’s a most fascinating thing, and I don’t know who their weather ex- pert is, but they sure hit the nail on the head as often or oftener than the guys with the charts and the complicated instruments. For instance, according to an almanac I picked up a few days ago, Aug- ust 1-3 forecast is for warmer with thunderstorms, 4-7 unsettled with squalls; 8-11 frequent thunder- storms, Now of course, it wouldn’t take any big brain to make these predictions because really they are all the same, However, the one be- tween 12-15 is of interest because it is quoted as “stormy, hurricane weather.” Well, we shall see. Don’t think, however, that I will wear rubber boots and carry a lantern as I go shop hopping til I get more definite word from the hurricane hunters who are right out there keeping an eye on things. RR “As Time Goes By,” is a fav- orite song of mine, contrary to reports of famous columnists tere and about. It is also the theme song of a little place over on Southard St. where you can get your watch repi Solis the Watchmaker wants me to again remind you that it isn’t any use putting off having that watch cleaned and repaired any longer: Not when he will de it for only $3.50, even if your watch might need three or four parts. Solis also guarantees his work for seven full months. Remember, that is Solis the Watch Maker at the little Sundial Store, right. next door to the new photographer's studio. xk As this column is generally writ- ten right after lunch, it is some- times a very hard thing to get over enthusiastic about some recipe or other, especially as I have a ten- dency to eat too much most any lunchtime. However, this one for tomato conserve is good. Just) made some, and it won’t last long. Cut two lemons into very thin slices, Remove the seeds, cover with cold water and cook until the rind is very tender.

Jaxon.—(Advt.) Want Hospital TALLAHASSEE (® — The 1953 Legislature may be asked to fur- nish money for construction of a new state mental hospital on the Lewer East Coast. Terry Lee, co-ordinator of state institutions, said that the possi- bility of making such a request to the Legislature is being discussed. Dr. W. D. Rogers, superintendent of the state hospital at Chatta- hoochee, is of the opinion the pub- lic welfare would be served better by erection of a new hospital in- stead of continuing to enlarge Chattahoochee.

N. soldiers in North Korean prison camps by failing to pinpoint camp sites. The U. N. asked the Commu- nists to furnish the information “without further delay.” The request was in a letter from Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison, chief U. N. truce delegate, to North Korean Gen. Nam Il, top Red ne- gotiator. The letter was handed over at a liaison officers’ meeting this after- noon at Panmunjom. The main del- egations are in recess until Tues- day. Harrison said he asked on Aug. 8 for information on the location and numbers of Communist pris- oners camps after the Reds shift- ed some of their camns, including the one holding Maj. Gen. William F. Dean. Col. Charles W. McCarthy, chief U.N. liaison officer, today handed the Reds two other letters answer- ing their protests that U. N. artil- lery shells landed in the Panmun- jom neutral circle on Aug. 3 and that Allied planes flew over the zone on Aug. 4, 10 and 11. McCarthy sdid an investigation showed Allied guns were firing south of the Panmunjom site on Aug. 3. He said “it is entirely possible” some fragments fell in- side the zone and ‘“‘to that extent we accept responsibility for this incident.” McCarthy said investigation failed to show Allied planes went over Panmunjom on Aug. 4. But, he said, on Aug. 10 and 11, planes did fly over, the U. N. recognizes the possibility they may have been U.N. aircraft, and the U. N. re- grets the incidents. - Red Liaison Officer Col.

WASHINGTON (#—The CIO high command opened a three-day’ po- litical session here today with all signs pointing to endorsement of Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for President. Headed by Philip Murray, pres- ident of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and Jack Kroll, director of the organizations’ Political Action Committee (PAC), some 500 CIO leaders streamed in- to town to talk candidates, money and strategy. - ‘The National CIO has never gone beyond an endorsement of presi- dential and vice presidential can- didates. State and district CIO councils handle the big labor or- ganization’s political drives on the state and local level. Official CIO backing for Steven- son, now the governor of Illinois, seems a foregone conclusion, but the timing is still a bit uncertain. Best bet is that the executive board, a 46-man body which in- cludes a top official from each of 35 CIO unions plus 11 national of- ficers, will get officially behind Stevenson at a meeting scheduled for Wednesday. Today’s sessions — the vice pres- idents meet by themselves in the morning and with PAC officials in the afternoon—are likely to be dull. Several weeks ago the CIO news said editorially that Dwight D. Ei- senhower’s campaign for the Re- publican presidential nomination was “‘out-Tafting Taft.” The AFL, older and larger labor | federation, has not given its offi- cial blessing to a presidential can- didate since 1924, although individ- ual AFL unions and officers often campaign for one candidate or an- lother. This year, too, the AFL is expected to keep national hands off the presidential race. If the executive board, headed by Murray, decides to delay its ‘official endorsement of Stevenson the reason might lie in Republican campaign charges that he is a cap- tive candidate—a captive of what Republican spokesmen call the big city machines and the labor un- ions. COUNTY VOTES (Continued "ron Page Une) the fact that 83 cents of every dol- lar collected by the track is dis- tributed back to Key West, he said. “I’m not trying to say that we're not going to operate a track with- out hoping to make money for our- selves, of course we hope to make money, but the track will be oper- ated on the highest and cleanest seale,” he said, Max Carey, appointed Chief Judge of the track, former base- ball big leaguer was introduced to the Commissioners by Aronovitz. Aronovitz said that he had an agreement with Toppino and sons to buy land on Stock Island if voters should approve the track. “It will take about 60 days to fill the land and 60 to 75 days to build the track, therefore the earlier we have the election the better for us,” he said. The attorney said that he wanted to make a public apology for two omissions in his pro- cedure with the race track preparations here. “I should have come to the legislator from this District. I thought it would be better not to get in politics. That 1 should have done,” he said. “My second omission was that I didn’t come to anybody in Key West and ask them if they want- ed to buy stock in the corpora- tion. That I failed to do because makes T: GRAVE ERROR (Continued From Page One) dy, one of the worst peacetime disasters in .U. S. Naval history, Commander Tierney, Philadel- phia, the only person blamed in the incident, went down with his ship and a Navy spokesman said the court’s findings probably would end the case. The court said the reasons for Tierney’s actions “will never be known.” No recommendations were made for disciplinary or corrective ac- tion regarding personnel or equip- ment of either vessel, both of which the court found in good con- dition at the time. The collision occufred before midnight April 26 while the 32,000- ton Wasp and the 1,700-ton Hobson were engaging in night exercises with a task force about 700 miles west of the Azores Islands. ~The night was dark but clear. The Wasp, a veteran of World War II, was preparing to make a wide U-turn into the wind to en- able airplanes practicing take-off and landing exercises to come aboard. The carrier's commander, Capt. Burnham C. McCaffree, Canova, S.'D., said if the Hobson had turned right during the maneuver -all would have been well. Instead it turned left, and trav- eling at about 27 knots plowed into the Wasp’s bow. The Hobson sank in 15,000 feet of water, many of its crew trapped forever in its hull. A total of 61 crewmen were saved during diffi- cult and hazardous rescue opera- tions. The Wasp, a 50-foot section of its bow ripped loose, made its way slowly back to the New York Navy Yard. It wag repaired in a record ll days. PHONE: Citizen Office, 1935 Miscellaneous Bridal Shower Given At Navarro Home For Miss Joan Porter Miss Jeanne Navarro, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Navarro Coffee Hour Set Tomorrow Morn. For Gray Ladies The Gray Ladies Corps will meet tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. at the home of Mrs. Joseph A. Inslee, 1511 Johnson street.

Gray Ladies who have been transferred to Key West and have not identified themselves are in- vited to attend. All members, both old and new are cordially and ur- gently asked to attend. Convention Plans To Be Completed 4t BPW Meeting Tonight’s meeting of the Business and Professional Women’s Club at eight o’clock in the Woman’s Club to complete plans for ‘the state board convention to be held here August 23 and 24. The regular exe- cutive board meeting will precede the club meeting. Mrs. Blanche Miller, the presi- ‘ dent, urged all members to be pre- sent to participate in the plans for a first-rate convention and to vote | ‘The Naval Court of Inquiry, com- | on several applicants for mem- —_—_—$—$—————————————————————————————————— rr, CUT posed of three rear admirals, said testimony suggested three possible explanations for the Hobson’s wrong turn: 1. Tierney became ‘completely zonfused”’ over the maneuver. 2. He meant to turn right but said “left rudder” instead in a slip of the tongue. 3. He misjudged the Wasp’s po- sition—both ships were traveling with nothing but dim red running lights—and thought he should have turned left. Lt. William A. Hoefer, Thomas- ton, Ala., deck officer of the Hob- son that fatal night, testified he had tried to dissuade Tierney from making a left turn, buf the com- mander said it would work out all right, and save time. I didn’t think anyone in Key West would want to risk their money in it. Secondly, 1 would ‘Nave had to comply with certain ‘aws, stock laws, had I done so.” Aronovitz stressed that 95 percent of the employees of the track will be.drawn from Key Westers. They must be of high moral character. Applications for jobs will be received at his office, 748 Seybold building, Miami. The lawyer said that his father came here to Key West in 1892, that five members of his family have been in the service. “We've always been against racketeering. It hurts me,” he said, “that there have been hints of that in this case.” After Allen’s motion for the September 30 date, Father Arm- field said he had not come te debate but merely to ber2ech Commissioners to put off the referendumt as long as_ possible so that full democracy could be practiced in a fully representa- tive vote. An early date would mean a small voter, he declared.
