All 20 Acres Have Been Leased From Wilson, Gandolfo A $75,000 restaurant will go up shortly on i (Roosevelt boulevard at the * 4] . corner of Sigsbee Park, on part of 20 acres in the bay leased by a Miami firm, Howard Wilson and Claude Gandolfo, owners, announ- ced today. The name of the firm is being withheld, pending the signing of the lease, Wilson said, Citizen Staff Phote DAIRY QUEEN had to call on the ‘local Police Department Thursday for assistance in handling the’ throngs of children who descended ‘on the popular ice.cream stand. The occasion was the offer of free ice cream cones to all children who visited the stand between 1 and 5 p. m.

This is strictly a Navy expansion, however, it was brought out ‘in Congressional hearings on the ap- propriation. It will not materially affect the supply for the Keys, where building is being held up for lack of water, The Navy has previously pointed out that their only moral obliga- tion is to provide water for Key West, not the Keys. Since it is the Island City where their personnel and live. Meanwhile the building boom on the Keys demands expansion of water at the earliest date. The $5,000,000 in building being held up at present is just indicative of the greater development that will take place in the future.

Gomez said that it Would probably be a year before the facilities ~- ready for use, however, City Manager Dave King suggest- ed that President Harry Trum-~ be asked to :.':peede if necessary in guaranteeing %:::t service be con- tinued. The order for the suspension of the use of Colombia Field, which is a Cuban Army airbase, was pub- lished three days ago in the official Havana gazette. It was signed by the Cuban Minister of Commerce. The possibility that the order may have been given to eliminate competition with the proposed Key West-Havana ferry operation was not confirmed by Gomez. Whether or not the ferry com- pany-might be indorsed or financed by the Cuban government is a mat- ter for conjecture. Gomez discount- ed this idea but could not offer an explanation for the move. Gomez has been the agent for the line since its inception in 1946. He is also a stuckholder in the concern, With five flights daily and a 90% pay load, “Q” has been handling 30,000 passen- gers yearly. “Q” also operates twe flights weekly from Havana to Paim Beach, which would also be discontinued. Airline officials also are loathe to use the Rancho Boyeros field be- cause it is several miles further from downtown Havana than the present field.

It was indeed a pleasure to meet jin t Superior Mary Isa- the pleasure of her when she was here y' age although only briefly.

RETURN (Continued From Page One) ture before he left on a trip Friday. He is expected to act on the re- commendation today when he will pause in Tallahasse enroute fr.m Georgia to Miami Beach. Following a heated two-hour hearing Thursday, Pepper said that he could see ‘‘no legal justifi- cation for recommending anything but extradition.” Assistant District Attorney Vin- cent Panati of Philadelphia \ repre- sented the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania and attorney Albert D. Hubbard of Miami appeared on be- half of Switz who has been held in the Monroe County Jail since Aug- ust 8th when he was arrested by local police. Panati said that any refusal to extradite Switz would be a “gilt ed invitation to all other crim- inals to come down and occupy this fine state of Florida, immune to Prosecution for any crimes that have been committed elsewhere.” Earlier, Hubbard had asked that a personal hearing be set before Governor Warren. Extradition pro- ceedings are invariably heard be- fore by the Attorney General’s of- fice and the Governor generally ac- cepts the findings of that agency. At a Habeas Corpus hearing in Key West on Tuesday, Hubbard had said that he wished to gain a réduction in bond for Switz “‘so that he could take him to see the Governor personally and show him what an exemplary life he had led since coming to Florida.” Yesterday, the attorney for Switz said that returning Switz to Penn- Sylvania would=mean that “he is going to be killed before he ever gets to court.” He repeated statements made earlier this week in Key West that Pennsylvania authorities are ask- ing his return not to try him on the misdemeanor counts they have against him, but to ‘“‘make a stool pigeon out of him.” Hubbard informed Pepper that Switz fled the northern city not to avoid the law, but because he was in “mortal fear of his life because of threats from former gangster associates.” “The moment Switz leaves the Grand Jury room, whether he tes- tifies or not, his life will be in eave danger,” Hubbard said. is an outgrowth of the damn- able Kefauver investigation,” he added. “Kefauver subpeonaed him and because of that, his former associates ran him off.” Pepper cut Hubbard short at this time. He said his (Hubbard’s) “‘ar- guments are wasting our time. Ke- fauver doesn’t fit into this hear- ing.” Warren, who will decide on whe- ther to sign the extradition war- rant after reviewing Pepper's re- port, is a bitter foe of Kefauver. Switz arrested after a yea and a a fugitive in Florida. Today, a man who was associat- ed with Switz in the shrimp busi- Ress told of meeting the northern man over a year ago when Switz walked up to him on the Gulf Oil Docks saying that he would “like to make a couple of trips to learn “214 DUVAL Scoutmaster Tells About Flying Saucer — WEST PALM BEACH (® — A scoutmaster who believes he is the first man ever attacked by a fly- ing saucer won’t tell all he knows or believes about it “because it might cause another Orson Welles panic.” But D.
