Rubin, who can remember Key West in Spanish American days, expressed amazement at the changes here. Resident Of 50 Years Ago Returns Here year-old Jack Rubin, af- ter 50 years away from Key West where he lived in his youth, spent yesterday afternoon walking around the city in an effort to lo- cate the scenes of his younger days, Key West has changed a lot inst 1408 whee Rubin left Key ‘West to go to New York where he spent 50 years in the dry goods business. But Rubin still had roots in Key West — he still owns that he purchased while here with his seven dollar weekly salary in his brother’s clothing store. “The town has grown so much that I don’t recognize it,” Rubin said. “I can remember Key West during the Spanish-American War — then it was just like a wild west frontier town.” Key West was a mosquito in- rampant and its streets, most part, were not even thé days when Rubin swim from the beach H+ 2 i He Bg i5e a A z i a but , Rubin junteer up to it of i i j : a tii a 25 H eee i Hi i : Hearing Of Tiny Tots Can Now Be Told Accurately MIAMI BEACH ®# — The hear- ing of a six-months-old child may now be tested by a new electrical device acting on the lie detector principle. The machine, known as 2 psy- chometer, is used in conjunction with a standard audiometer and registers the child’s exact amount of hearing through skin reactions to sound and minute electrical shocks. The psychometer is among sci- entific devices on exhibition dur- ing the 7th annual University of perty | Florida Midwinter Seminar in Oph- thalmology and Otolaryngology. The psychometer employs tle shock strapped to the child’s leg. Sound followed by shock in rhythmic se- quence then becomes meaningful tothe youngster who begins to listen, perhaps for the first time in its life. “The machine, through contact with the child’s skin, registers the amount of hearing possessed by “New testing techniques in pediatric deafness” is scheduled for discussion by Dr. Victor Good- , Los Angeles ear, nose and throat specialist, at tonight’s meet- ing of the Florida Society of oph- thalmology and ult is a minute transitor. a pronged affair less than an inch long and takes the e of the vacuum tube in mod- ern hearing aids.

John Pilcher, acting chief in- spector of the U. S. Border Pa- trol, said McCargar's brother told him by telephone the watch found on the body answered the descrip- tion of a timepiece owned by Mc- Cargar. With McCargar when the plane disappeared were Edward J. Mur- Phy, 37, the pilot; and Ray Fre- gan, 31, L.

Pilcher said the body. was in such bad condition it would be virtually impossible to identify it from fingerprints. The three men took off from Miami with about three hours’ fuel supply. They were to check out Fregan in water landings. The plane’s disappearance set off a nine-county search by more than 35 Air Force, Marine, Civil Air Patrol and private planes, plus two Coast Guard aircraft. NAL Growth Is Phenomenal In 10 Year Period MIAMI (— Transformation of National Airlines in ten years from a relatively obscure air line to one of major importance was characterized today as “phenom- enal” by Selig Altschw!, aviation advisor. Altschul’s financial appraisal of the company said most other do- mestie trunk line air carriers oc- cupy much the same relative po- sition now as they did in 1939, but “National is the outstanding ex- ception.” He: reported the line was the smallest of the country’s 16 do- mestie lines in 1939 while today the company “enjoys a position of high earnings and is on a non- | ™ subsidized mail rate.” “Significantly, the company in 1951 ranked fifth in net income with only the big four larger »? the said.
