There were many who thought that Hull's Trade Agreements had been sabotaged by the inclusion of Sec- tion 7 of the Trade Agreement Extension Act of 1951, which is popularly known as the escape clause. If an in- { _ dustry feels that it is being injured or threatened with in- jury by tariff reductions with another country, it may ‘take its case to the Tariff Commission, under the escape “clause. The American watch industry appealed to the Com- ‘mission which upheld the appeal, but President Truman did not support the ‘conclusions of the Tariff Commission. The President said that the industry’s complaint relied on an, inyalid argument, . ‘The indpstry ‘said that while its business.h&tdinot ac- tually contracted, its share of the greatly expanded Amer- ican market was smaller percentagewise than,it.had been previously. If the President had supported this position, it would undoubtedly have had far-reaching effects in a world whose greatest single trade problem is the shortage of dollars. : The President’s action will help to maintain world confidence in our trade policy, and will prevent America’s enemies from accusing us of walking out on our world commitments. If you don’t know the answer, don’t answer the question. ' There is nothing wrong with business a good tax re- duction wouldn't cure. President Truman is not as worried about his future as are some of his aides. If some of the Hollywood stars are actors, or actress- es, that definition also includes us, Why is it people who look young want to look old, while those who look old want to look young? The best way to see that g job is done right is to su- pervise it personally, and there is no other way. HAL _ BOYLE SAYS | “By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK w -Girls, our suc cess formula for today is simple “Stay in there and keep pitch ing those curves.” The symbol of this vibrant max im is Marilyn Monroe, who ha: proved an ambitious girl doesni have ‘to come to the big city t get ahead. She can do it in he: own home town. At 9 Marilyn earned five cents a month spending money setting tables in a Los Angeles orphans home. At 24, in the nearby ‘film studio where she now has to wait on nobody, she draws down $75¢ a week. In Hollywood, where she is rated as one of the most sultry discoveries since the late Jean , Harlow, this naturally is consid- | red peonage. “They keep saying that one of these days they’ll tear up my con- tract and write me a better one,” she said. -“And one of these days I wish they would.” She arrived for our luncheon appointment in good time—well be- fore dusk. £ “They keep me so busy,” she | complained, “‘sorry I’m so late.” She ied her ‘wide blue eyes on mé, and I had an uneasy feel- ing they Would melt and drip on the table."Then she sat down be- side me—real close—and'I had an uneasy feeling that maybe I'd melt. ‘] “I was having my hair fixed in my hotel room, and all I-had on was a towel,” she said, and added | carefully—‘‘a_ small towel. Some | reporters were on the other side | of the door asking me -questions. And such questions! They wanted to know if I knew how many stom- achs a cow had, and they seemed | real surprised when I gave them the right answer—four. “Then they asked me if I knew | what heat was? I told them sure— heat is something that is generat- ed. Isn’t that right?” Marilyn, who recently was in a film called “Monkey Business,” rather enjoys people who take her for a real life dumb. blonde. She is dumb the-same way Mae West is. At the moment she is rather amazed by the public irterest in \her disclosure that she never | wears brassieres, girdles or any ‘other form of underclothing, and sleeps raw except for a nightly dab of perfume. “It’s more comfortable not to wear underclothing, and I don’t like to féel wrinkles,” she said. “What's. so whusual« about that? You must know a lot of girls who do the same thing—and who put on perfume before going to’sleep.” (Editor’s note: If Boyle does, he never mentioned it before) Miss Monroe feels most Atmeri- | can women should follow her ex- ample and emancipate themselves from bras, corsets and girdles, “But, first, some of them ought to exercise,” she said, “inorder to be. . . to be. . . you know. . . firm, I exercise with light weights | myself. “T lie on my back with my arms overhead’ and lift the weights 15 times. It is a kind of pull against gravity, I guess. I used to walk a lot, too. Walking up a steep hill is the best thing for a woman's legs.” But what about the subject on the minds of 10 million girls this leap _year—how to catch a hus- band? Marilyn, whose own mar- riage at 16 didn’t last, gave two simple rules: “1. A girl should follow her in- stincts. “2. That will about take care of things, as instincts are important.” As for sex (a current events topic most movie stars and base- ball players usually have opinions on), Miss Monroe said: “Truthfully, I've never given it a second thought.” And she was gone before I thought of asking her what her first thought was.

At 2:30 a. m. EST, reports fror Navy planes which used radai 2yes to track the tropical twiste through the night placed the cente of the hurricane 150 miles easi southeast of Jacksonville. From the path that pointed al day Friday at the North Flori¢ shore, Forecaster Paul Moore sai. -he storm had begun a northwar. curve which might take it on 2 course parallel to the mainlanc and cause its strongest winds to spend themselves at sea. “But it’s going to be dangerous- ly close for Georgia and South Carolina,” Moore added. “Even if | the hurricane misses them, they'll know there was a storm.” As for North Carolina, Moore said it still was “a little doubtful” what the new turn of events will mean. It may be 24 hours before the fate of the North Carolina coast is known he added, and “anything can happen.” The hurricane, steered by upper air currents at an altitude of 30,- 000 to 40,000 feet, packed top winds of 85 miles an hour near the center. Gales reached outward 150 miles to the north of the “eye” but only a ‘short distance to the south, Its forward momentum was about 15 miles an hour. Storm warning flags were low- ered from Jacksonville southward when the hurricane began its turn, vut they still flew from Jackson- ville north to Wilmington, N. C.

Clothing and shoe prices -are dogn this fall as compared“with last. Both manufacturers and re- tailers, however, are stressing some high-fashion numbers for the young, with price tags high enough to give dad a twinge in his wallet , pocket, Some merchants already report the best season ever in sales of clothing for the reluctant scholars, from kindergarten on up to college. Teen-age fashion shows have clicked for a number of stores | around the country. : Other merchants look for a big spurt right after Labor Day. They complain that sales to college stu- dents have been the chief laggards so far. New York stores seem to be trailing the nation.

Elsewhere along the South east coast the people took what precautions they could. Public | buildings were kept open for use as storin shelters. While the top winds were just a little over minimum hurricane force of 75 miles an hour, there was always the chance the storm | could build up power quickly. At least three ocean-going ships swerved from their course to ride out the threat in the St. Johns River at Jacksonville. All along the coast, owners of small boats took them as far as possible up inland waterways to escape high tides which were in prospect even if the main force of the hurricane bypasses the -mainland. 4 Interesting Notes One type of extinct American | elephant attained a height of 14 feet.

HOLLYWOOD NOTES. “ By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (®—A lot of Hol- | lywood people thought Frederick Brisson was a little touched in the head when he gave a future movie a tryout on television last year. 3ut the producer now says the ex- eriment was a success. Brisson and his wife, Rosalind Russell, had a film project called “Never Wave at a WAC,” First of all, they put the story on TV in a live broadcast for the Play- rouse of Stars. Now they are en- ‘aged in making the film version or theaters. “The TV tryout proved of great value,” said Brisson. ‘We got the cinescope, and by running it over ind over, we could see the flaws *-n the plot. We changed the entire tory line. “Also, the publicity value was remendous. We received a vast umber of letters from people who aid they enjoyed the show and vould look forward to the movie. “I don’t see why the major stu- jios couldn’t do the same thing. They have hundreds of stories that have never been filmed. If they would allow these stories to be shown on TV, they could find out vhich ones would be suitable for aovies.” . 2. “I’m through with the service!” “T’'m through with the service!” This mutinous statement was uttered this week. by Don Taylor. At present he is portraying a “60 saddles for Gobi.” He was in the sub serv- ice for “Submarine Command,” the Army infantry for “Jzpanese War Bride” and “Battleground,” Marine Air for “Flying leather- necks” and the Air Force (his own service) for “Target Unknown” and “Winged Victory.” “You've got enought points for a discharge, boy,” I remarked. “Thanks for the crack,” he re- plied. “Pardon me while I phone it to my press agent”... -Headache of the week is golden- voiced Mario Lanza. His on-again, off-again feud with MGM is ing large losses for the studio and countless yawns from observers, It’s not the first time Lanza has kicked up a fuss. When he was supposed to report to his last picture, he showed up After he and the studio came to terms, the excess poundage was shaved off. But now " is down to a trim 160 pounds. Wonder how ee ed THIS ROCK BILL The City’s choice in making Charles Torres an assistant fire chief was excellent. He is honest, sincere, and — an important item — willing to learn. Key West has good firemen but a few of them tave become one- tracked in their opinion of fighting fires. New chemicals, new: equip- ment, modern machinery that creates fresh hazards — all of these make it imperative that lead- ers in the fire department must keep their eyes and ears open. Charles Torres has indicated that he is capable of doing this. If the department could just get qualified instructors to come down here and teach classes in salvage, rescue, ladder work, etc., our fire losses would decrease. I understand that Dave King has requested Mi- ami-for a loan of some of their fire college teachers. + Ira Albury S Sometimes a fellow wants to write a column about someone and he'll get out of this one. he runs straight into’ a brick wall of silence. Today, Ira''Albury has proved himself to be that brick wall. Most Key Westers know — him. They know that he is a first-class locksmith. Also that as Justice of Peace, he performs as many mar- riages as most ministers. I figured that the two occupations should tie into an interesting story but Ira just clams up and refuses to talk. Well, one of these days we'll sur- prise him with information about himself that has been garnered from other people. Garbage On Boulevard The column’s complaint about dirty streets resulted in several people mentioning Roosevelt Blvd. Garbage is strewed along the road- way from Hilton Haven to the Navy hospital every morning by overloaded scavenger trucks. These trucks have tarpaulins and the crews use them to tie down the load. The trouble arises from stack- ing double the amount of garbage on a truck that it is capable of carrying. Bread wrappers, wet garbage, boxes, and crates can be found STRONG ARM GRAND COFFEB Triumph Coffee we vere ev veter VEZ OF OURS ABBR ABRABRALARA RD BRAD G B RD Dy de Be dn theo BE every morning on the boulevard and, to make matters worse, the scavenger crews on their return to town in empty trucks don’t bother to pick up what they have dropped. Luckily there is usually enough wind to blow the loose paper out into the sea. This is one time, I don’t think we can hold our city manager to blame in this situation. His atten- tion probably hasn’t been calléd to the matter. Dave King was particu- larly proud to get the new trucks and the tarpaulins this year so that he could eliminate such unsanitary conditions. Only reason I can see for the scavenger crews overloading their tricks is the fact that they go off duty as soon as they complete their route. Thus, even though it is a little more work to pitch the heavy cans to the top of a highly loaded truck, if they can save an extra trip they can get off for the day an hour earlier by doing so. Perhaps Mr. King will check into the matter. Perhaps also, the gar- bage crews won’t appreciate me writing this today. Oh well, we've praised them in the past when they were doing good work. Turn about is fair play. | Cliff Mapes of the Detroit Tigers raises homing pigeons a: STRAND conditions Last Times Today She’s Working Her Way Through College with RONALD REAGAN AND VIRGINIA MAYO Coming: JUMPING JACKS Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Mona Freeman and Don Defere MONROE <cctto oe Last Times Today ROOM FOR ONE MORE with CARY GRANT AND BETSY DRAKE Mill at ALL GROCERS Coming: THE CIMARRON KID Audie waren, gen Beverly FOX NEWS SAN CARLOS THEATRE LAST TIMES TODAY Featuring... eee ae aa SUNDAY - MONDAY - TUESDAY Tx LOAN SHARK RETURN of the TEXAN DALE ROBERTSON, JOANNE DRU and WALTER BRENNAN BOX OFFICE OPENS 1:45 P.M.
