WEATHER BUREAU (Continued *rom age One) Station with benches, boards, aw- nings, garbage cafis and any ob- ject that might be picked up by a high wind. The big subtenders, Bushnell and Gilmore, all destroyers, the cruiser Roanoke and other big vessels have @leared out for safer destination. Only four or five submarines and stand-by tugs were. still at the docks. Blimps and planes left Bo- ca Chica two days ago. All small craft, save tugs needed in action have been hoisted, Telephone calls to the Naval Sta- tion meet with the question, “Is this official business or an emer- y?” Public information officer James Foresman said it was ne- cessary to stipulate this because the switch-boards were swamped with calls..The Citizen office was also busy this morning with anx- ious residents phoning to ask about the storm. I. is advisable to keep radios on for the official weather bullentins. The Key West Amateur Radio Club and its “hams” are at their posts to maintain contact and com- munication work with two port- able stations available as well as the clearing station and the branch outlets. Disaster Committee Chairman Paul Albury said that the Red oss and its volunteers and squads workers were in direct contact with the Weather Bureau so that supplies could be rushed to the shelters in case the hurricane swerved toward Key West or the ge fyi 7 \ \\ Vas THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, October 24, 1952 Keys. He said that supplies for the Marathon shelter were also ready to go if needed. He listed Bethel church for colored shelter and add- ed Reynolds school to the roster for white people. Red Cross head- quarters are maintained at the YMCA USO building. The old adage about an ounce of prevention was being carried out by the City Electric company which takes no chores, General Manager C. A. Van Deursen said, “We sandbagged the Diesel plant and cabled down the office at the | steam plant. Anything that can blow away is tied down. Lights are kept on until it is considered dar -s to operate. When circuits begin kicking out, we don’t put them in after they have done that two or three times. We work all through the hurricanes and try to get circuits back. Our line depart- ment is on constant duty. In event of considerable damage, we may may have to ask for help from some other line company. We'll do everything we can to restore ser- j vice as quickly as possible.” Sam Goldsmith of the Weather Bureau said today at 1 p. m. that Key West was on the edge of the hurricane and that high winds would begin late this afternoon. “We will probably get winds of gale force before the storm is over,” he warned. 10 PLEAD GUILTY (Continued from Page One) $15 for reckless driving; Leslie Herman Bronson, Jr., was fined $15 for reckless driving; Monroe ; Charles Wonder was fined’ tke same amount on the same charge.

OSCAR MORALES (Continued. from Page One) ban independence in 1898. “We must try always to protect the things that history has given to us,” Mr. Morales said. The Lions were congratulated by the speaker on the fine recurd of their activities as a civic service club. The Lions meeting was begun by group singing led by Norman Kra- nich and Louis Carbonell. Walter Burns sang ‘Carolina in the Mor- in’” in his Jimmy-Durante voice, and Stuart Whiting followed with “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.” Lion Bernard Frank told the Club members of the activities of the Boy Scouts now being carried on in connection with the drive to get out the vote on November 4. The scouts throughout the nation are distributing cardboard | notices in the form of liberty bells which they attach to doorknobs at every house and apartment in town. This is not a political en- terprise, as no candidate is en- ‘dorsed. It is simply an effort to get all registered voters to the | polls in November. The Lions Club is sponsoring a candidate for the Mrs. Key West | title which will be awarded to the j winner of a contest to be held ‘soon by,the Elks Club, Identity of ‘the Lions Club entrant in the con- test was not divulged.

OF KEY WEST 1990 Flegler Avenue PHONE 1176 LeMAY INSISTS (Continued From Page Une) nied when we talked with him this mecrnirz. He said he had told Le- May he was making no appoint- ments to his staff at least until af- tcz November 4. All deputies must resign -utomatically when a new sheriff's term begins, he said. LeMay told me in our ~ ne con- Ve yesterday that he is! breaking the tire story of his beautiful wife’s disappearance in a book he is publishing in two weeks. “Last January wher I was on the} Keys I couldn’t say a word. I was} being blackmailed,” said LeMay. “Now I am telling the whole story | no matter who it hurts.” LeMay told me he is coming to Florida, and to Monroe cour’y for a two months’ vacation in January. I asked him if that meant he was waiving his immunity and going to testify before he Grand Jury, now meeting at the courthouse. He said no, he was merely com- ing down for a rest, that his book will tell the whole story about the disappearance of his: young wife. When I asked if he thought his wife was a victim of white slavers he said: “That's all baloney, phooey about white slavery. But I am not going to tell you where I think she is un- till my book comes out.” The French-Canadian spoke clearly over the long lines. He said he himself has put up the money to publish the book bout his miss- ing wife. Mrs. LeMay disappeared at 10 sagen p.m. last January 4 when she and;}: her husband were fishing off Tom’s/ Harbor bridge. Officials searched high and low by plane, by boat and on foot. ‘The Monroe county sheriff's depart-} ment, Canadian police and others| joined the hunt the beauty. No official word hi ver been given out about her being found, The Monroe county Grand Jury meeting last spring said that she had come to her death and that if dead, foul play was indicated. This statement was made by the jury after hearing Barker, and other witnesses. At that time, it was stated that LeMay would not be brought to Monroe county unless he voluntarily waived his immunity, that is that he would allow his statements to be used against him. Barker told me today: “I have the LeMay file which will naturally be used if the case gets active again. I know as much of the details of the case as any- one knows, outside of those con- nected with it. “I've never said she is dead. My opinion and evidence indicate that she is dead. Blood stained ‘ments found on the Tamiami ii were identified as having been in the LeMay car.” Barker said that he is holding the files for Monro> county au- thorities. The calm LeMay on the phone yesterday was in sharp contrast to the hysterical, near violent hus- band who talked to reporters in Key West on January 5, the day after his wife’s disappearance. Le- May was picked up in Miami on that day and brought to Key West for questioning. The Citizen re- porter who was present at the questioning had to use a French interpreter because he said he couldn’t speak English. . Yest lay, ’ >May’s English was almost perfect, and I had no diffi- culty getting every word over the long distance lines from Montre: ; LeM.y first ~ported his wife's disappearance at 10:30 on the night of January 4. He went inte Deputy Sheriff Tarker’s office in Taver- nier. He reported then that they had eaten dinner in Marathon, that ; they had then stopped at Tom's | Harbor Viaduct No. 4 to fish. His wife was dressed in shorts and a bra. She told him she was cold and went to change in the car parked | near the bridge, When she did not return, LeMay went to hunt for her. He found the shorts and bra! in the car and her dugarees and | “Wilbur ts s0 carefree since CITY LOAN CO, helped him pay off his old bills!" jacket were gone. LeMay joined in the se>-ch for her that night, but returned to Miami Saturday.

Saturday norning, January 5, in Miami, police were called to a fill- ing .tation at South Dixie highway and 27th avenue to pick up a man ere ting a disturbance.
