Look Out General Associated Press Photo SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8—Dwight D. Eisenhower, in lead car, ducks just in ‘time as a mass of ticker tape comes hurtling down on his auto parading past thousands in the financial district after his arrival here today. KING CANCELS (Continued from Page One) filing of four civil rights suits which are pending against police officer. The order stated that “effective at once, the Navy will assign two shore patrolmen to the officer pa- trolling Duval Street and two to the man on Truman Avenue. The change’ in the procedure is this: . when an arrest involving naval per- sonnel is: necessary, the officer shall notify the man that he is under arrest and then turn him over to the shore patrol to be re- turned to the Naval Base. The policeman ‘should obtain the man’s name and duty station and a war- rent will be issued Through the le-. gal office.” | Since/the police would not take the sailors to the police station, it would eliminate the ride in the patrol wagon where many fights have occurred, King continued “At no time should the police touch a sailor’, King continued. The chief bone of contention a- mong the opposition which was led | by Cobo and Eisner was the fact that the change in method has pro: duced “serious morale break- down” in the police department which had resulted in the resigna- tion of two police officers, Richard Brodhead and Armando Perez Two others reported ‘sick’ last night And Eisner and Cobo also took | exception to the fact that the May or and the city manager had held a conference with Admiral Duke, the Naval station commandant, on Monday morning without - telling them fully of what transpired at the discussion “T would like to know why, with my police experience, 1 was not invited to the meeting Eisner asked Mayor Harvey replied that last night's meeting out of order and protested that the his a matter for the City M ger.”’ He does not have to explain his action in the matter to the commission.” After nged King's Tight to issue the King re. plied that the action was on the administrative level and had nothing to do with under the jurisdic commission Cobo then shouldn't have miral, If we without his help. quit In decrying perienced police Syears; Pere added was Cobo ¢ c ch is of the city new reguls sailor was picked up on Duval St. | for drunkeness and his liberty can- celled. (Navy officials say that sailors return to the base for this | reason are not confined, but are restricted to their ship or station). | Lt. Hernandez said that a half an hour later, the same sailor was seen strolling down Duval St. When he brought the matter to the atten- tion of Lt. Stranghoener, he said | that the sailor in question had | Jumped over the side of his ship | and returned to town. Hernandez also pointed out the | difficulties a policeman encounters when he asked the commission, | “Did you ever try to get the name | of a drunken sailor on Duval St?” | Mayor Harvey took a pot shot at | the Sheriff's office when he asked | | Chief Deputy Sheriff Tommy Dixon |“how many deputies the sheriff | had?” “Two paid deputies’, Dixon, | who appeared at the meeting in an unofficial capacity told him, ‘‘but we always make an arrest when we see a crime”. “If you only have two deputies, I doubt if you see many crimes,” | was the Mayor's rejoinder, He in- ferred that something was “lack- ing’ in the sheriff's office, when he asked why a county with a po- | pulation of nearly 50,000 has such a small sheriff's department “We are working day and night”, Dixon continued “Why can’t you increase your force’, the Mayor asked Dixon then pointed out that the Sheriff's office is on a “fee basis’, If they don’t make arrests, they don’t get paid. He pointed out that Dade County is on an appropria- tion basis---they receive financial aid from the state. (In Monroe County the sherif pays his deputies out of his own pocket) ; Dixon indicated that sheriff elect John Spottswood will try to ablish the fee system in this county “We know Berlin Sawyer isn’ going to the poorhouse. His office has never been conducted right”, commissioner Eisner interjected After heated two hour debate which finally returned to the sub- ject of the relationship of the police artment to the Navy, King a greed “to tell Admiral Duke that agreement made at Monday's : es not meet with the ap- the city commission. The city will ask the Navy assign shore ipatrol to aid the police, however The orders to the police depart ment were rescinded over the pro test of Mayor Harvey.

They will all meet at 6 a. m. Saturday morning at the corner of White and Truman, Meanwhile anyone who wants to} join the gala delegation can call Judge Lopez at 27 or Tom Watkins at 1372. Last night’s meeting though small was notable for its broad representation. The labor vote, wo- man vote, colored vote, and profes- sional groups all had spokesmen present. The following committee chair- man and assistants for the °52 campaign were’ named by accla- mation: Finance, John Spottswood and Howard Wilson; Get-Out-The Vote, Jim Keen and Mrs. Teresa Brax- ton; Motorcade to Miami, Judge Lopez and Watkins; Key West Ral- ly committee, Keller’ Watson; Speakers, William V. Albury; Pub- licity, Joe Allen; Women Voters and New Voters, Judge Eva War- ner Gibson and Mrs. Haury; Labor, Harry Knight, ClO and Clarence Higgs, AFL; Colored, Noddy, and Cecil Bain; Poster committee, Mrs. Irma Wagner. Alien and Saunders both urged the Democratic leaders present not to waste energy on those register- ed Democrats who are voting for Dwight Eisenhower. Saunders said “Many of these people are really Republicans who register Democra- | tic because they don't want to lose their vote in the primaries. They are not real Democrats so it means nothing that they say they will vote-for Ike, We must get out the regular Democratic vote, the loyal Democrats.” Among other leaders present last night were Enrique Esquinaldo, Sr., chairman of the county Demo. cratic committee Louis Muniz, Mrs. Isabel Fleming, and others Of the 60 Democrats present, 14 were women, The eruption of Mt.

If the writer does not want his name to appear in the paper, he can state his desire in a footnote to the letter, and The Citizen will respect the wish. However, letters which come into the office completely unsigned can not be used in the paper. Today a letter was receiv- ed ed which began, “I doubt very much if I ever see this letter in print...” The writer was correct in his assumption to this ex- tent: He did not sign his name to the letter. There- fore we cannot use it in the paper. In order to see his let- ter used, all he will have to do is come to -The Citizen office and sign his name to the letter. Then we can print his letter, and it will still remain unsigned in print. “WEATHERMAN ae Key West & Vicinity: Cloudy with light rain today and to- night clearing Friday.

From The Press Box By CSCAR MILLIAN With the world series all over and Casey Stengel’s New York Yankees again dominating the baseball world by retaining its ‘champion- — title in defeating the national league pennant winning Brooklyn Dodgers in the annual basebell classic which ended last afternoon, local sports fans have their eyes set on the coming foot- ball clash between the undefeated Key West Conchs and the Lake Worth High which takes place at Wicker’s Stadium Friday night. The local lads far from being top heavy because of the two straight wins in as many starts will trot out as though they have not won a game and will be fighting to win its first — “We have been working v hard for the past two weeks,”” Rick. ard “Biff” Salgado was telling me the other afternoon after a heafty work out on defense. The youngster showed a bum knee and a cut eye to give listeners an idea of the kind of drill they were going through. We're pulling for you kids, lets go out and make three in a row. Let’s show them the real Conch spirit! Also attracting great attention in local sports front is the play-off series between the first half win- ners Coca Cola and second half pennant winners Genéral Electric, in the city softball league, The GE boys copped the first game behind the no hit no run pitching of De- Witt Roberts last Monday night at bayview park where contests are being played. Some one asked cen- terfielder Darrel Pilgrim of GE if he thought they had a chance to win the city’s championship title and the likeable fly chaser answer- ed “seguramente que si chico.” Some one asked Darrel why he al- ways answered his softball ques- tions in Spansh to which he answer- ed smilingly and pointing at score- keeper Manuel stanero and at the umpire, “‘they are Spanish people and it is a very good idea to let them know we understand the language, es verdad”, Manager Dick Carpenter, who as a general rule has very little to say before a game was highly impre: ed with the team’s performance in the opening game of the series and is hopeful of copping the title. Coca Cola coaching manager Crip Las- tres, who might have had a chance at big time baseball if it wasn’t for a leg operation while in his early boyhood, was not reached for com- ment on the present series, but knowing the enthusiastic lad as the real baseball lover and hard fight- ing pilot that he is, I cduld safely say that his words would be “‘we are going to win and we'll make it three in a row.” Well what do you know! Looks like we will have a Panama VS Key West high foo! and basket ball contest in this city this season. According to Mr. Glenn West of the Shriners Club, negotiation with the Crystobal high has been completed : and the two teams will meet at Wicker’s Stadium on November 28. “This” said Mr. West, “can be garded as a return engagement, as our bo: ed at Panama last season ‘ickets have already been placed on sale and judging by | the way they are moving you would | be lead to believe that the contest is not so far away.” Mr. West said. Can’t finish this column without giving you some dope on the Flori- da International baseball league and the Key West Conchs. So far I feel safe in saying wnat Key West will have a brand new team in the | 1953 season. When spring training begins on March Ist there will be 35 players with the local club and 18 of the best will be selected from that number. “We are not going to let money be a barrier” said club president Lou Carbonell, today, “We are going after the best next season and by that I mean that Key West will have a flag winning club”, concluded Carbonell.

Maryland, Georgia Tilt South’s Best By STERLING SLAPPEY ATHENS, Ga. # Unbeaten Maryland and Georgia, whose of- fensive teams may slow down but seldom stop, run head on Saturday. The wreckage they cause is pret- ty sure to be delightful for modern football fans who think defenses are signs of an inferiority complex. This is one of Dixie’s big games of the week. From it may come a bow!l'team and you can be fairly sure the winner will be in the top ten team poll next week. Maryland’ is fourth nationally in the Associated Press poll and a big victory over a top flight club like Georgia is needed to move the Sugar Bowl champions back season opened. A couple of ding dong battles with Missouri and Auburn deflated Maryland somewhat. Last week, however, Maryland plastered a Clemson team, 28-0, to prove that all is well once again. Georgia cut up Vanderbilt and North Carolina State and gave Tu- lane a whipping. Georgia’s forte is diversification-Zeke Bratkow- ski's brilliant long or short passing , and. the running of any one of three or four medium sized backs. | Maryland has Jack Scarbath and, | like Georgia, a stable of runners. | Both have fine ends~-Lloyd Col- ; teryabn and Lou Weidensaul of | Maryland and Art DeCarlo and Harry Babcock of Georgia.

Georgia and Maryland have had two previous parties. In 1950 Geor- gia piled up a 27-7 victory. Last year Maryland, then en route to track meets in mind Georgia back- to win Saturday.” A crowd of about 40,000 is ex- apart, dumped everything on Geor- gia for a 43-7 victory.
