FERRY LEASE The Commissioners voted to de- fer action on the granting of a! lease of the newly acquired Clyde-| Mallory Docks to the Havana-Key} West ferry line entrepreneurs who! are working toward the establish-| ment of car ferry service between} Key West and the Cuban Capitol.| Fred Dion, vice president and a member of the board of directors of the Gulf Atlantic Transportation) Company, appredbeea % | Company, appeared before the commission to outline the needs of| the newly formed company and! the matter was referred to City! Manager Dave King for further study preliminary to final negotia- tions for the lease which Dion says “will be granted within the next 30 days.” Dion said that the operation of the ferry will require the com- plete dock facilities. His offer set a tentative figure of one dollar for each car or truck carried by the steamship, one dollar for each ton of freight and 25 cents per passenger as the consideration the city Id receive in return for the lease which would give them exclusive permission to make use of the dock. Dion emphasized, however, that his offer is tentative and that the company will be glad to sit down with the commission and talk over the matter to arrive at an agree- ment which will be satisfactory to the city. The chief questions to be ironed) out before entering into the leas- ing arrangements are whether or not the city or the ferry company will be responsible for the mainten- ance of the dock and the question] of the minimum guarantee arrange-| ment. City Manager King pointed out that the city, in addition to the $150,000 purchase price for the dock, will be spending some $50,- 000 in repairs and maintenance. The rental fee for the dock should include a guarantee that would as- sure the amortization of this expen- diture, he added. Dion offered a clue to the size of the proposed ferry operation which is slated to begin operation in the early spring when he said that the vessel, the ‘Cuban Queen”, is expected to carry at least 100, 000 passengers the first year of its operation, The 5-million dollar in- vestment represents a 2 1-2 million! dollar indebtedness in Cuba. | service is expected to operate three} times weekly. In other action, the commission- ers; POSTPONED action on an ordi- nance which would require the soundproofing of bars and restau- rants serving alcoholic beverages with an area of over 4000 square feet and a seating capacity of at) least 200 persons in certain areas of the city. The measure would apply ony to licenses granted under an ordinance passed several weeks} ago. Bars nqw in operation would} not be affected by the ordinance. | The move stemmed from com-| plaints that bars are creating a nui- sance in certain resort areas in Key West. PASSED an amendment to the| CROWN PRINCESS (Continued from Page One) sulted in our getting a picture of the Royal family. They demurred at being photo- graphed at breakfast saying that if they started that practice, Palm Beach photographers would be after them constantly. We waited until they were ready to leave and got the departure photo as they drove out the gate of the Sun and Sand Club. Sun and Sand waitress Mrs. He- len Williams said it was the first royalty she had ever waited on. The Crown Princess and her two daughters had large glasses of orange juice, scrambled eggs and coffee. Only Dr. Ouren had bacon with his eggs. “They were very nice folks to wait on,” Mrs. Williams said. “Polite and gracious.” Winter visitors Mr. and Mrs. Jerald P. Moon of Cleveland were johnnys-on-the-spot too. Mr. Moon whipped out his polaroid camera as| the royal party left The Sun and Sand, and showed us pictures two minutes later of the Princess in the Cadillac driven by Dr. Ouren, with younger Princess Astrid. Finch meanwhile stationed him- self at the outside gate of the club, fearing the royal party might make a fast get away before he could shoot. Princess Ragnild and Mrs. As- tergard stepped in the Cadillac sedan driven by a tall unchauf- feur-like driver. Preferring to remain anonymous this handsome young man told us over coffee while the royal party were breakfasting that they found the Sun and Sand by merely ask- ing a stranger on the street. “We started to go in another restaurant the doctor wanted to, but seeing it was so small we drove away,” the “chauffeur” said. “Then we found this place which they liked right away.” It was the first trip of the Crown Princess to the Keys and Key West, he said. She did not plan to let the Navy or anyone know of her presence, preferring just to take a look around. The royal party is returning to Palm Beach where the Crown Princess is staying at the home of the former Ambassador to Nor- way Bay. The three Norwegian members of the royal family looked healthy and happy in the tropical sunshine.

SHRIMPER CUTS (Continued trom Page One) back to port on the shrimper Grey King, with the aid of the Bar Pilot Boat. The argument between the two men exploded into violence over a pair of pants and shoes, Hernandez said, Clark said that Miller first at- tacked him with a stick. Then he got a 12 inch butcher knife and hit Clark twice, once in the right chest and once in the left fore- head. Clark staggered injured into the engine room where Hernandez found him at 3 a. m. Sunday. He rushed the man via Lopez ambu- lance to Monroe general hospital where he remains seriously but not critically injured. His rib cage saved him from having vital organs slashed. Miller after cleaning up the bloody deck, washed off the knife, hung it up in the kitchen and then went topside to tell others what he had done, said Hernandez. He then shipped out on the Grey King. Hernandez learning this ask- ed the Bar Pilot boat to communi- cate with skipper of the Grey King to bring Miller back to port. The skipper complied and Miller was immediately arrested by Hernan- dez yesterday afternoon. JUVENILE AUTHORITIES (Continued From Page One) mates started drinking on the dock near the boat. “The only reason | drank was because they (his companions) did,” the lad stated. After the group had finished a bottle of whiskey, the lad went to a Duval Street bar, where, he said, “a sailor bought me a drink.” It was there that Police Officer Lionel Soriano noticed his youth- fulness and intoxicated condition and took him into custody. He was then turned over to juvenile auth- orities and taken to the county detention home. Judge Gibson then notified his mothe: in Fernandina and arrang- ed for bus passage to his home. He will be met in Jacksonville by his parents, Judge Gibson said. No action will be taken against the captain or owner of the shrimp boat on which the under- age youth was employed, she added. The boy had never told the captain his age, it was brought out at the hearing. When the boy was picked up, he had but one “thin dime” in his pos- sesion, but the sympathetic cap- tain of the shrimper “Two Bro- thers’ gave him transportation home as well as $5 for spending money. Judge Gibson said that Fernan- dina juvenile workers will work with the boy in an effort to work out OPENING WNivHT (Continued from Page One) time bell-hop at the hotel. Ed-| mund Giesbert, as the sometime | Army lieutenant turned theater usher, was repulsively convincing | im his role as the officer the two | soldiers had despised while they | were in service, | A portrayal of a Cockney | war bride was given by Char-| lotte Pennington, who was well- | coached in her diction and charac- | terization. The slightly shopworn, | gamin English ex:music hall en- tertainer was a difficult role, and | Mrs. Pennington was a happy choice for the part. Guy Carleton was well-cast as the Army general who was convinced that the Army is the world’s most efficient organization, and Fred- erick Schell, in what almost amounted to a walk-on part as the Red Cross representative, was able to present a believable and laugh- able characterization in a few lines. Special note should be taken of the direction of the play, which left little to be desired. Mickey Renna, new to the job, has turn- ed out a ‘polished performance. One small defect, which may have been only in the mind of the reviewer, was in the first act when it frequently appeared that John was blocking Mary from the view of the audience. But, as noted, | it was a small fault and did not occur in subsequent acts. The ability of Mrs. Renna was brought out by many small, natural motions, which, as everyone fami- liar with the stage knows, do not always come so naturally as they appear to in the finished perfor- mance, At any rate, the entire cast and crew of the present production have come up with a good show, pleasing to any audience. Stage sets and costumes are good without being elaborate, and the whole thing is well worth see- ing.

His time has come to oWn the “car of cars”... and there he goes for the first thrill. ing ride at the wheel. But what an additional thrill he would have if he could look down the long, long road that car’ will travel before it comes to its final stop! For then he would know, beyond peradventure, that he has just taken possession of one. of the me- chanical masterpieces of all time! Reliable statistics kept by a great tire manufacturer show, for instance, that certain Cadillacs in its testing fleet have actually approached a million miles. Naturally, when you take possession of a new Cadillac, you are not thinking of owning and driving it for such a spectacular distance. But consider, if you will, what this phenomenal endurance foretells for your own period of ownership. Tt ie your finest possible guarantee that che thrill’ and the satisfaction of your first mile at the wheel will go on and on—until, with reluctance, you pass the car along to another proud and happy owner, And it means, of course, that the value of your Cadillae will endure. Even its second, and third, and fourth owners will find that its relative value is amaz~ ing. There is almost ahways-a demand for a Cadillac, regardless of its age, Of course, the great thrill: of owning a Cadillae comes from the car's wonderful performance.and ite marvelous prestige, But it is so nice to-reflect, as you sit at the wheel, that your pride is practical—and that your satise faction is.coming from a sound investment, Is it time for you to think about 2 Cadillac?
