But I can salvage the remark by M. Ignatius Leste atop East Martello Towers whe he saw dirigibles over the sea “Ah Flying sausages!” Tomi Karns received a birthday gift from her husband last week which brings envy to the eyes of beholders. It is a finely wrought necklace of tiny interlocking silver rings, a marriage chain ornament from Guatemala. Deedee Bessiere Agricola had a birthday recently too. And today is John Speziali’s. Yesterday was Pierre Duval’s. An also Napoleon Bonaparte’s. My how these Leos roar! Anyway, John Wolley broke out champagne and the crowd sang traditional birth- day songs. Among the well wishers were Mary Pearl,Bob Youmans (not the attorney), Shop Hopper Jaxon, Ed Giesbert, Jeanne and Ski Skewis, Morrill Reynolds from Miami and dozens of others. The shell game isn’t always something you see at a carnival. Alemna Bettinger (Comdr, J. L. Bettinger’s wife) and Avalon Bige- low (Mrs. L, M.) left kith, kin, husbands and offspring for a week’s vacation on the island of Sanibel over on the West Coast of Florida. Avalon, vivacious brunette, report- ed that despite lack of interest in shellcollecting (for which the island is famous) they found themselves looking avidly for small conchs, turkey’s wings and star-fish, end- ing up with whole boxes of shells to bring home, Says Avalon “‘May- be the FULL MOON season had something to do with it. Shrimp boats could be seen coming and go- ing at midnight and trucks driving up on the beach scooping up shells by the carload to be taken to fac- tories.” She also found the Florida bit of Paradise a cool, quiet, spot “where one could _ sun-bathe, read a book, or letter-write at lei- sure.” ».MY NEW HOME has a very snug little patio. If I can find a corner for a coconut tree I’ll get Gibson up on Big Pine Key. Was chauffered up theré by Wally Vas- sar, with sound effects by Ski and Jeanne Skewis, on Sunday, and Gibson,, P.

A week ago journeyed up to Mara- thon to hear Bob Printz, erstwhile partner of Bob Ellis, playing piano at the new glittering lounge. Learn- ed that Ellis is now in Paris and being pined for by an heiress. In fact, the romance made Cholly Knickerbocker’s column recently. Those Gadabout Goddards have left Spain and in the British Isles. A card from Emily says that they had a reunion with Bill Dickerson, former Key West Player who is in London. Bill was the villian in the first production of “The Fili- busters,” and in cahoots with me as a gun-runner.

I was working for the syn- dicate and they said they were going to give me some advice.” Swiz denied that he was a fugi- tive when he said that there were no subpoenas served on him be- fore he left and his attorneys con- tended that all the indictments had been brought back “long after he was a resident of the State of Flo- rida.” In a passionate plea for reduc- tion in bond so that he could take Switz to see Governor Warren in Tallahassee for a hearing, attor- ney Hubbard pointed his finger at Panati‘and shouted, “They want this man back in Philadelphia so that they can make tool pigeon out of him. They want him to go back and inform on the very peo- |ple who have threatened his life. He is just a small timer in the ‘numbers racket, They don’t arrest the big shots.” Switz had earlier testified that ‘e “didn’t know as much as they thought he did.” 4 Attorney Hubbard, in his final appeal said that there is no moral issue involved. He pointed out that there would be no lottery sellers if people didn’t buy numbers. When the question of the five nisdemeanors held against the de- iendant came up, Hubbard main- tained that under the Florida Bill of Rights, the $50,000 bond figure “defied the fundamentals behind bail theory.” He said that all of Switz’ assets are in Key West and that they ‘ consist of a $12,000 equity in a | shrimp boat. That Switz was not taken by sur- prise when he was arrested over a week ago came out when he said that the night before he was taken into custody, he was at the home of the parents of the small ‘boy who pointed out his picture on the wall at the police station as “Un- cle Mike” when they asked him about it.At that time, he made up his mind not to run. “I wa of ducking,” he ‘said this morning. When his record of 16 previous arrests dating back, té 1941 came up for discussion, Switz shrugged them off saying, that when you are arrested for gambling in Philadel- phia, it is “understood that you Plead guilty..and pay a fine.” ‘District Attorney Panati said that since the new (Democratic) re- gime has come into power in Phila- delphia, that the practice of “‘cop- ping a plea” has been done away with in such cases. Hubbard said that he hoped to take Switz before the Governor to show that since coming to Florida his character has been exemplary. He said that he had engaged in a legitimate business and was in no way connected with racketeering here and that the shrimp business was not the easiest way to make a living. He added that he had letters testifying to the character of Switz from the Key West Chief of Police and members of the City Commission as well as the people he has done business with in this city. $150,000 CLYDE- (Continued From Page One) and Grinnell, Ist. and Roosevelt, 5th and Roosevelt, and 13th and Roosevelt.
