The ferry, which has been in planning stages, is expected begin operation during the first week in February, accord- ing to Facio. The inauguration of the ser- vice will mark the first time fhat car ferry service, running three times a week, will be avilable from this city. The City of Key West has been @ooperating with Cuban offi- | @lals in setting up the service.

Baby Sitters Will Be Furnished For Nov. 4th Voters By DAVE CHEAVENS DALLAS, Tex. — Free baby sitters, quiet places of prayer for divine guidance in voting. Free rides to the polls. Reminders to expectant mothers to vote absentee ahead of the stork That's the story all over Texas in the most intensive get-out-the- vote drive in its political history. Militant partisans of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gov, Adlai Stevenson, scrambling for Texas’ 24 electoral votes—biggest single block in the South — are behind much of the prodding for votes. But. probably more is being stirred up by such nonpartisan organizations as the “Ballot Batta- “tion” at Dallas, the Jaycees, Boy | Scouts, the League of Women vot ers and the churches. San Angelo set aside today as a day of prayer for divine guidance in voting. The First Baptist Church | at Waco opened its chapel daily “through election eve for voters who want to pray and meditate on whom to scratch Tuesday Merchants at Brownsville are closing stores until 1) a.m. Tues day, leaving notices on the doors saying they are freeing their em Ployes to vote and urging custom- ers to come along Eisenhower backers at Houston are getting up lists of expectant mothers with babies scheduled for arrival around election day and re- minding them they'd better vote absentee Free notary service is being of fered hospital patieats who can't get to the polls next week sad whose absentee ballots need two be sworn te, aily newspaper Peans The in A vama Packet . appeared in ; Mrs. jand from soliciting * Democratic Leaders At Stevenson Rally New if Little White House Awaits You in GERALD SAUNDERS, chairman of the Stevenson-for-President committee, Circuit Court Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr,, Monroe County Commissioner Harry Harris, Willie Saunders, Attorney Tom Watkins and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Moore of the Demo- cratic Executive committee at cently. 74-Year Old Lady Still Active In | Newspaper Work Once you get printing ink in your veins, it never washes out, is an old adage about newspaper busi- ness.

American war, bought a weekly at Key West, Fla., is and circul- ation to writing social news and | eollecting bills, Mrs. Darnall was imbued with printer's ink, which courses through the veins of genu- ine newspaper people, “Later she was business manager of Key West Daily Citizen, and for many years, she raised and ad- ministered that newspaper's ‘Emp- ty Stocking Fund,’ for the children of the city. ‘It was the most excit- ing part of Christmas to us,’ re- members her daughter, Mrs, Albert L.

Many Americans would.” The geneial did not identify the document except to say it was a “top secret document of the Amer- ican Defense Department.” Monday Republican Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, who has bolted his party to support Stevenson, in a Minneapolis address read a gov- ernment memorandum relating to | the Korean situation. that in 1947 the Joint Chiefs of Staff--of which Eisenhower was a member at the time--considered that from a standpoint of military security, ‘‘the U.
