KEY WEST IS MY BEAT By SUSAN McAVOY : Scoop-of-The-Week tipsters have taken a holiday during the Christ- mas holidays failing to turn in any news leads. Winners of former weeks, however, have been en- joying their prizes offered by this column. Mr. and Mrs. William Anthony Avery (he’s a Bos’n Mate first class, USS Howard Gilmore) took their prize Tuesday night. He turn- ed in a hot tip a few weeks back but prefers not to be identified with it. Generally the Avery’s live at 19 B Seaplane base. Last Tuesday night they moved into The Key Wester to a glorious front room overlooking the Atlan- tic, After checking in they went across the way to Raul’s restau- rant for their prize dinner. “We were told we could have anything we wanted to eat. We took steaks,” Mrs. Avery told me. “We both had huge steaks. In fact I was so full after the main course that I couldn’t eat a des- sert.”” Bos’n Avery who is 30, and Mrs. Avery who is 26, parked their 29 month’s old son with her mother at the Seaplane Base and had a second honeymoon through : the courtesy of The Key Wester and Raul’s restaruant. “I think it was the nicest motel T’'ve been in. If 1 had my choice, I'd stay there,” Mis. Avery said. The night at The Key Wester and dinner and breakfast at Raul’s coincided with the Avery’s three and half year wedding an. niversary. The Avery’s had a big break- fast at Raul’s and then returned to their own home to prepare for Christmas. “It was the biggest evening I’ve had since I came here two years ago,” Mrs. Avery said. She was impressed by the fact that her room at The Key Wester had six lamps, heaters as well as aircon- ditioning, and a big double bed. Because of the chilly weather last Tuesday, the Avery’s did not ven- ture into the pool. More Winners: Mrs. J. W. Lakso took her two guests to dinner at Raul’s, pre- ferring prize dinners to any of the other prizes offered by this column. She had an excellent dinner there as her reward for tipping this column on the presence of Earl Godwin, Washington radio com- mentator. Aerial Sightseeing Tour. Joseph Burns, first Scoop-of-the- Week Winner boarded a Faraldo Flying service plane as his choice of our prizes, Burns, piloted by Edgar Max- well, took off at Meacham field in’ the Luscombe plane. First he circled over the (Atlantic and Roosevelt boulevard, then he’ flew over the Norberg Thompson éstate and Cow Key channel. Going: farther up he could see the huge developments taking place on Stock Island the dog track, the drive-in theater, . the building going on. Next came Boca Chita with its huge runways, multi- type planes, and blimps and sig- nal tower. On up, Burns saw the new houses being built at Sugar- loaf Shores, the R. ©. Crane deve- lopment across from Perky lodge. From Sugarloaf it was just a few minutes to Summerland Key. There Burns got.a bird’s eye view of the deep and navigable Niles channel, on which the Navy Car- nival prize lot “The Lucky Seven” is located. He saw the dredging and filling operations going on preparatory to the erection of the new Summerland Key motel “The Nile.” He also saw the Summerland Key Yacht basin where Sheriff Berlin Sawyer keeps his outboard and skims over the Gulf waters to his island home of Howell’s Key. He could see the outboards of Johnston’s point, some in the Gulf, some tied up at Capt. Bob’s dock. Flying over the Niles channel bridge Burns next had his view of the magnificient island estate of Sam Anderson. He saw the hard- to reach Cook’s Island and the other island paradises, reached from Ramrod Key. Then came the huge acreage of Big Pine Key and the Ed Barry Punta Brisa Lodge and cabins; and finally Marathon with its booming developments. “It was the best way for a new- comer to get to know the Keys,” Burns told me. “Now I feel more familiar with this whole territory.” The flight was smooth and tempt- ed Burns, as it tempts most of us who go up in the planes to start. learning to fly at Faraldo’s.

Vandenberg, Air Force chief of staff, says it would be “‘catastro- phic” for the U. S. to cut back now in plane production. Russia has built five times as many planes as the U. S. during the last five years, he said this week in an article written for Planes, official publication of the Aircraft Industries Association. The American buildup towards a 143-wing Air Force which started 29 months ago, he added, has reached only the halfway mark so He knew that the road leading | ¢ay. from U.

For Congress there is a busy, certain-to-be stimulating perhaps even an amazing year ahead. This may be our only chance to look jahead, expressing hopes and as- pirations for the future in the knowledge of our failures of the past. In what may be my last moments of calm relaxation for many months, meditation brings before me an even dozen New Year’s wishes upon which we can jointly base good resolutions. Here is what we hope the New Year will bring: Health, happiness and prosperity for the peoples of the world, and a greater degree of success in ef- forts to achieve international un- derstandings and friendships. Peace in the world, an end to the “Cold War” and an honorable settlement of the Korean conflict, with our fighting men returning home in the fulsome knowledge of “mission completed.” A cleaner and stronger United States of America, in which a finer and more democratic govern- ment will evolve from the com- bined unselfish and patrotic ef- forts of a citizenry moved more by the country’s welfare than for partisan or personal gain. A balanced federal budget, with reduced governmental costs bring- ing a merited reduction in the tax- payers’ burden - i. e. a tax cut as soon as it can be managed. For the state of Florida, con- tinuance of its position as the second ranking state in national defense activity with strengthen- ing of the present 14 major mili- tary installations. For west Florida, the continued development of the Jim Woodruff dam, bringing ocean-going naviga- tion the length of the Apalachicola River and major economic ad- vancement to the entire Apalachi- cola River basin with its many thousands of fine people. For south and central Florida, major progress upon the giant long-range water conservation and flood control programs with its assurance of major return to the state and federal government on this investment in the form of a greater and more prosperous agri- cultural yield, as well as protec- tion from floods and droughts - a more full vegetable basket for the nation. Expansion of veterans hospital facilities in Florida and particular- ly the long and much needed neuropsychiatric _ hospital at Gainesville. Healthy development of Miami University’s ne Medical College and realization of hopes for a medical college at the University of Fiori- da, providing training which will help to reduce the shortage of doc- tors in the South and the nation. Orderly and justified expansion and development of the Ever- glades National Park, and success in solving the problems of the cattle and citrus industries, For our friends on the news- papers, radio and television sta- tions, a large wisdom, clarity of language, and sense of citizenship responsibility to keep the people informed of the aetivities of all their public officials.

McCar- thy—whose pursuit of Communists brought him jeers, cheers and re- election—is now in position to oper- ate on a bigger scale than ever before, and seems to intend to. In the new Republican-controlled Congress McCarthy will be chair- man of a powerful Senate com- mittee which has a staff of lawyers and investigators whom McCarthy can use in his Red hunt. Until now—from the time he be- gan his sensational charges of Communists in government almost three years ago—the Wisconsin Re- publican had to do business pretty much on his own and, more or less, with his own staff. It is not known how President- elect Eisenhower feels about the prospect of stepped-up and even broader explorations by McCarthy. And there is no indication from what he has said recently that McCarthy intends asking. If for any reason the new Presi- dent sought to throw roadblocks in the senator’s way, he might find, as have others who attempted to interfere with McCarthy, that he had a tiger by the tail. In a copyrighted interview with reporters of the weekly magazine U. S. News and World Report, McCarthy outlined some of the avenues which he considers worth attention: A continuing search for Commu- nists in the government, particu- larly in the State Department; a hunt for Communists or “Commu- nist thinking’ in the colleges; and an investigation of corruption in government. Eisenhower would certainly fol- low with interest a McCarthy ex- amination of the minds of college professors since Eisenhower him- self is giving up the presidency of Columbia University to be presi- dent of the United States. And when Eisenhower is in the White House he can expect to see, McCarthy’s sleuths prowling around the government looking for corruption, not only corruption which might have occurred during the Truman regime but which bob up in Eisenhower’s own ad- ministration. As for the search for Com- munists in the government, Mc- Carthy made it pretty clear he considers anything that’s happened in the past only preliminary to a “real housecleaning.” Move Afoot To Promote. Unity Of Law Bodies OTTAWA (#—A move is under way to encourage closer personal relations among members of the Canadian Parliament and the United States Congress. Sen. Wishart Robertson, govern- ment leader in the Senate and Min- ister without portfolio in the fed- eral Cabinet, said in an interview that in launching this drive he is acting simply as a private individ- ual and not as a member of the government. His aim is to arrange for fre- quent or at least annual exchange |visits for members of Parliament and members of Congress. He plans to get in touch with |members of Parliament individu- ally and to correspond with ac- |qQuaintances in Congress. “It is not good enough for our Cabinet ministers to be on a first- | name basis with their opposit num- bers in the United States,” said Sen. Robertson. “Under the Amer- jican system of government, it is Possible for Congress to overrule the Cabinet “This means that Congress, with- {will report to the minesweeper | ;USS Gayety for duty and Grant, | | from Burlington, N.

During visits to the United States, Canadian Salatgremeenpe could obtain first-hand knowledge of problems in the United States, Sen. Robertson said.
