Key West, Florida, has the most equable climate in the country, with an average range of only 14° Fahrenheit VOL, LXXIII, No. 239 Ghe Kev THE SOUTHERNMOST NE WSPAPER KEY WEST, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1952 B City Fathars Ask Admiral Duke To Assign Permanent Shore Patrol In Effort To End Existing Problems Protest Against Stone Purchase Is Withdrawn Louis M. J. Eisner mov- ed at last night’s meeting of the City Commission, to Mstitute an Intensive train- ing program for all mem~ bers of the police depart- ment. And in a scathing criticism of the local law enforcement situation, Eis- ner also suggested that local Navy officials assign a permanent shore patrol section for duty in Key West. In a prepared statement, Eis- ner asked that “each poiiceman be subjeci to a period of training to ‘start immediately,” and that the Navy be requested to assign permanent shore patrol personnel and if necessaty assign Marines to assist them. In my opinion, Eisner added, “violations of our laws and ordinances by Naval personnel are due to the laxity of the commanding officers in instructing their subordinates on _ their behavior while on liberty. ‘The Navy should do more to help prevent incidents involving the police department and not wait and invoke the civil rights section of our constitution.” When Eisner put this in the form of a motion, Commissioner Delaney quickly seconded the suggestion, Eisner continued, saying, “Whe: oa gun, a stick ear hé should know how to protect others as well as himself he should know when and how to make an arrest.and when to use force and when not to.” According to Eisner’s plan, all members of the police depart- ment would be required to at- itend the classes and a written examination would be given upon its completion. City Manager Dave King was asked to contact the Miami Police Department, in an effort to arrange for the loan of one of their trained police instructors for the program, It was brought out at the! meeting that the City Manager | and the Mayor have conferred | with Naval Officials with a view | to doing somethi: bout obtain. ing closer cooperation between | the Navy and the City.

ESS ES Police Officer Soriano Is Commended The City Commission fast night moved to send a letter of commendation te Police Officer Lionel Soriano, upon the recom- mendation of Commissioner Jack Delaney. Delaney said that he was ap- proached by a Navy man at Boca Chica who had been ar- rested by Soriano for speeding. The sailor said that Soriano was extremely courteous and respectful throughout the _ inci- dent. He added that it was a “pleasure” to be arrested’ by Soriano, even though he “knew the grief that was in store for him when he appeared in court.” Mayor C. B. Harvey moved that the letter be presented to the officer. The motion was adopted unanimously by the commissioners, However, the commissioners ete “conmicionen UAT Crashes , were the opinion that only a e e Petmanent shore patrol “cor KGlling Three solve the problem.
