Not many stocks strayed as much as a major fraction away . | from the previous close. 4 Railroads, steels, and motors | held steady. Leaning a little lower were oils and coppers. The air- crafts were a little higher. The market seemed slow in get- ting under way, and it has been suggested that the longer trading day perhaps made for less urgency in trading in the early hours ef the session. Higher stocks included Northern Pacific, Goodrich, Boeing, Penn- | sylvania Railroad, and Bethlehem | Steel. * Lower were Standard Oil (N. J.) Texas Co., Johns-Manville, Phelps Dodge, Dow Chemical, and West- _ inghouse Electric. Political Notes TAMPA @—A Florida Demo- cratic campaign official denied here Monday night the recent crossfire of charges between party officeholders is a sign of a party split. “Nothing could be farther from the truth,” William W. Perry, as- sistant state campaign director, said in a talk to the Hillsborough County Democratic Women’s Club. “If ever there. was a closing of the ranks and the combining of strength and energy of sincere Democrats, this is it. We have finally forced out into the open those men of little faith who were never Democrats but who have taken our party label for personal political profit, publicity and pro- fessional propaganda purposes.” On the other hand, he said, “those who are no friends of the Democratic party” are making a strong effort to cause the party to fall out with Sen, George Smathers and Sen. Spessard L, Holland.” Smathers and Holland have said they will vote for Adlai E, Stevenson, Democratic nominee for presidenf} but will not cam- paign for him. Perry said there is a difference between the course followed by men like the two senators, ‘elected by a general vote of all the people, those who have obtained party posts for purely partisan political services, only now to defame and dishonor the very posts to which Citizen Staff Photo | d and a chance for a better edu- graduated in 1944 from high Key West Postoffice, recruit- GAMMA RAY TO (Continued from Page One) radio-active cobalt, are used inythe 60 tubes of the generator’s pneu- matic transfer tube system.

Baker, Naval Base Fire Dept., reminded again that this week is Fire Prevention Week. “Do you know that the num- ber of large loss fires in 1951 in- creased 24 percent over the pre- vious year, and caused 40 per- cent more damage?” he asked. “Once every minute — about 1500 times every day — that frightening call of “Fire” rings out a warning. Every day) there are 849 home fires, 34 deaths by fire, 79 store fires, 88 factory fires, 9 church fires, 8 school fires, 4 hospital fires. Can any- thing be done to reduce this frightening toll of fire? Such losses, at least the great bulk of them, can be prevented,”*"Baker stated. “It’s hard to understand how people can be so careless with their lives, their property, and their jobs. We know that 90 per- cent of all fires can be prevented. Nine out of ten fires the fire de- partment fights are simply the result of negligence and careless- ness,” he continued. Last year 91,000 fires were started by discarded cigarettes. More people died in fires last year because they fell asleep en- : joying that last puff, than from any other cause. “The co-partner with cigarettes in careless fire habits are match- es, That’s a bad combination, It isn’t necessary to say much more than this: 800 million matches are used every day, each a po- tential fire hazard; 800 million heads with -no brains unless you provide them. “Don’t drop matches unless you're sure they’re out, and above all, keep matches out of reach of small children, : “Take time out to check your.| homes, from attic to cellar, for fire hazards, and take immediate steps to eliminate them, thereby protecting your family and home,” Baker concluded, HURRICANE HUNTER ‘Continued from Page One) area.

As the situation neared the boil- ing point, it remained for de Ces- pedes to make the first move to free the Cuban people from their oppressors, when he gathered his followers around him in a stirring address, which has since become a struggle known as the “Ten Year War” which was the first inkling that Spain’s power in Cuba might be overcome.

This will cost us arms and the sacrifice of your lives and. well-being in order to gain freedom and honor for this beautiful land in which we were born.” Although the Ten Year War which he ignited on that day in 1868 did not bring separation from Spain for his country, it did lay the foundation for Cuban liberties by proclaiming the emancipation of the slaves and the holding of the first Cuban constitution assembly. Soon the island was embroiled in a bloody war which laid the ground. work for the revolutionary activity which resulted in the gaining of freedom for Cuba in the 1895 War for Independence. Cespedes did not fare so well at the hands of the revolutionists, however, when he was accused of dictatorial tendencies and deposed as the president of the “Republic in Arms” and exiled to the village of San Lorenzo where he was be- sieged and slain by the Spaniards in 1874, An interesting sidelight into “El Grito de Yara” is the fact that Jose Marti, Cuba’ bearing a deep love of freedom, formed a secret patriotic society which he called a meeting and ad.
