overnment Moves To Deport Pair MIAMI (®—The federal govern- Ment moved Wednesday to revoke American citienship for Alfonse (Big Al) Polzz and Harry (Nig) Rosen, two of the nation’s under- world characters. Complaints filed in Federal Court by Assistant U. S. District Attorney Ernest L. Duhaime said both men perjured themselves on their applications for naturalia- tion. The complaint said Polzz ‘lied under oath when he said in Cleve- land in February, 1928, that he had never been arrested or charged with the violation of any law. It charged that Polzz was arrested in 1920 as a suspect in four robberies, served a prison term in 1926 for bootlegging and was arrested again in 1927 as a wuspicious person. Polizzi, a native of Italy, set- fled in Miami in 1945 and now is & partner in the Thompson-Polizzi Construction Co., one, of the major building firms in this area. He has a jatial home in suburban Coral Gables. The government charged that Rosen ‘well knew’? when he took the oath in New York in Septem ber, 1945, that “he was then en- gaged and had been engaged for the period of one year prior to fil- ing his petition for naturalization in the business of bookmaking in New York and New Jersey.” Sets Copter Mark NIAGARA FALLS, N.

Lehman D-NY said today that is endangering this nation’s civil liberties and de- stroying the people’s faith in free- dom and Democratic principles. In a speech prepared for de- livery before the AFL National Convention, Lehman also said the Taft-Hartley Act “must and will be” repealed. “Civil liberties include the free- dom to think, write and speak as one pleases,” the senator said, “.., and above all to worship God as one choses. . + “Today, the greatest and most immediate danger to our civil li- berties is from what we call Mc- Carthyism. The deadly and infec- tious quality of this danger was never so clearly demonstrated as by the results of the Wisconsin primary election last week.” Although Lehman never men- tioned him by his full name, he was referring to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R-Wis., who last week was overwhelmingly chosen as GOP nominee for re-election to the U. S. Senate. Lehan said “the McCarthyites unquestionably have an appeal. They come before the people as super-patriots. . . .They thrive on fear, they revel in it. Another speaker at the conven- tion today will be Sen. Wayne Morse R-Ore. New Command Set TOKYO (#—Gen. Mark Clark an- nounced yesterday a new com- mand will be set up Oct. 1 to be known as the United States Army Forces, Far East (USAFFE).

Command delegate at the Panmunjom armistice negotiations.

Corrections & Red Deserter SONTHOFEN, Germany (#—The U. S. Army beat 113 drums in | publie today to mark enlistment of | a second deserter from the Soviet | Union’s armed forces. The first | U. S. recruit from Russian uniform | | was inducted last March, but the | Army didn’t tell anybody about it | until yesterday. Today the Army called in the reporters to witness the enlistment | ceremony here at this Alpine post for Arkadiy Rudivskiy, 24, a na- tive of Odessa and formerly a me- chanic in the Soviet Air Force. Stationed in the Russian Zone of Austria, he escaped to American- | occupied territory in 1951 and has been working as a mechanic for an American airline The first enlistee, a Soviet ex sergeant, is serving in the U. Ss. President El Khoury was the | first and thus the only Presi-| dent of Lebanon. He was elected in 1943 after France ended its League of Nations mandate over the country and proclaimed its in- dependence. He was re-eelcted for} a six-year-term in 1948. | Though an old-time patriot and fighter for Lebanese independence, El Khoury lost support in 1948 when he induced Parliament to |amend the Constitution to permit his re-election. Since then, his once vast popularity has faded under | charges of scandals and corruption | leveled against him and his family. | The general strike culminated | a lengthy opposition campaign, | spearheaded by Socialist leader Kamal Jumblatt, to limit the Pres- | ident’s powers and institute elec- | toral, social and economic re- forms. Since June the Socialists and other factions have demanded openly that El Khoury go. The Army coup in Egypt which toppled King Farouk from his throne in July produced wide spread rumors that similar action would be taken here. Opposition leaders openly called for a coup to unseat “corrupt” government officials. Amid the mounting opposition, Premier Sami Solh on Sept. 9 failed to get a vote of confidence | from Parliament and resigned. The climax came shortly after Premier-Designate Saeb Slam last | night gave up a futile four-day attempt to form a coalition reform Cabinet. Yesterday, members of a nor- | mally pro-El Khoury bloc in Par- | liament announced they felt the | President’s resignation was the | only possible solution to the crisis. | Later, a general meeting of all opposition groups issued a com- | munisue that the general trike would continue until the President | resigned and that all persons col- laborating with El Khoury would be considered plotters against the will of the people. A delegation of opposition lead- ers also called on Gen. Shehab to demand that the Army withhold support from the President. Confess To Pact ALBUQUERQUE (®—A military policeman and his girl friend pleaded guilty in District Court yesterday to charges of conspiring to hang her husband so they could marry. Cpl. William K. Oliver, 22, and Mrs, Wanda White, 20, are charged with conspiring to hang William White, 41, Mrs. White’s third hus- band, in a public park. An anonymous telephone cail tipped police to the plot and they | hid in ambush as Mrs. White drove up to the park last Thursday. Oliver didn’t show up at all, but in a/ statement shouldered the blame | for the whole thing. | District Judge R. F. Deacon Ar- | ledge will pass sentence Monday. | In their written statements to | Police, they said they decided to | hang the husband to a tree after forcing him at gunpoint onto the | fender of a car. Mrs. White said she still loves her husband. | Cake that is several days old is good sliced, brushed with melted butter or margarine, and toasted lightly under the broiler Serve the toasted cake slices with a fruit sauce, The World Today By James Marlow | WASHINGTON “#\—The presiden tial campaign is beginning to look like a variety store. | You can get an assortment of main” issues, problems and top. cs.

Having Track Operating The dog track at Pensacola, Fla. is an “asset, not a liability,” according to Marion T. Gaines, Editor of the Pensacola News and Journal in a letter to The Citizen today. Wishing to get the reaction of a newsman in a town compara- ble to Key West, The Citizen wrote Gaines querying him for publication on the effect the track has had on that communi- Gaines wrote back today: “On the whole, we think the track an asset, nct liability, and that its local ownership and operation have much to do with this situation, “The track,” writes Gaines, “is located about 12 miles from the city and draws many of its cus- tomers from Mobile and other nearby parts of Alabama, as well as from Pensacola and surround- ing area. “We have not noted any ill effects from the irack. In fact, we believe its presence has at- tracted many visitors, especial- ly as it operates only during the summer tourist season, which is our largest.” The Key West Kennel Club would operate its track during the winter tourist season, which is the largest season here. Gaines continues: “As it (the track) is owned and operated by local, responsible persons, we have had no trou- ble from importation of undesir- able characters or,other persons who would attempt to exercise undue influence upon our local government or business.” The Pensacola track is operat- ed by the Pensacola Kennel club. Though Pensacola is a larger city than Key West, it was chos- en as the most comparable com- munity in Florida to query.
