MEET THE LA CONCHA HOTEL'S NEW RESTAURANT PERSONNEL Henry J, Fernay of the Naval Station, was jailed early today fol- lowing an attempt to enter the home of Robert F. Spottswood, 531 Caroline Street, father of Monroe County Sheriff John Spottswood. According to the police report, Officer Lionel Soriano was dis- patched to the Caroline Street ad- dress to investigate a report that ee car was being sto- jen. Soriano said that when he ar- rived the automobile’s lights were on and that he found a sail- or’s. white cap, a half-pint of whiskey and a pizza pie en the seat of the vehicle. At the same time, the officer heard a nojse issuing from the porch of the Spottswood home. Fer- nay was found in that area and taken into custody. Investigation revealed that two storm shutters had been removed from the house. Fernay was taken to the city jail where he was charged with being drunk and disorderly and trespass- ing on private property. He will be marelened in municipal court to- ye SIMONTON ST.

In answer to the question that many cars which have not been actually abandoned by their own- ers, may be towed away, City Manager Dave King said that there will be no basic change in the city’s policy of confiscating cars since they are now e¢mpow- ered to tow away such vehicles. “This ordinance will simply enable the city to sell the old wrecks which are on the city’s hands at this time,” King said. He pointed out that the city has two lots which are filled with aban- doned cars. Car owners may elaim their vehicles at any time by the cost of storage. Money ob- tained from the sale of the autos will be transferred to the city’s general revenue fund after one year has elapsed.

The “George Bates” was fishing just off the reef on the Atlantic sico of Key West in hopes of catching a big jewfish or even a king. Using small yellow tail as bait, a kingfish weighing over 45 pourids was landed. Soon after that, using another yi il, Tommy felt a terrific tug on his line. He couldn’t tell at first just what he had, but soon the big fellow ‘sur- faced, and all aboard were treated to a sight not often seen. The shark was hooked on a regular hand line and small hook used generally for jewfish or king, and it would have been impossible for a man to land him. He was play- ed up to the surface near the boat and stunned with an airgun, Then he was gaffed and tied to the back of the boat, and towed back to shore where it took three men to haul him out for. view of the interested crowd who always gathered when the boats come in at five p. m. The big. fish is still on display on the Boulevard, but not for long, sunshine and insects being what they are. But Tommy will keep the big teeth and jaws for long remembrance until the next one is caught. Boys Steal Birds CINCINNATI ‘#-—The cat didn’t get the canaries after all. Four boys ranging in age from 6 to 13 got them. The canaries—13 in all —were stolen from the Cincinnati Zoo Saturday. Eleven of them were recovered birds, valued at $50 to $75 each, for $1. The boys were held for juvenile court authorities.

Sheriff Ed Blackburn said he will close down gambling at the fair, and a Methodist women’s group said this is ‘‘a step Christian peo- ple in this community have wanted for years.” Blackburn, who took office last month, said he includes various types of spinning wheels and bingo as gambling, but added he could do nothing about games where the customer tosses a hoop or a ball, which courts have ruled are games of skill. Red-fezzed Shriners from all temples in Florida took over Tam- pa today for this is Shrine Day at the fair. A Moslem tent village was set ‘up on the old court house square, in the heart of the city. Harvey A. Baffa, St. Louis, im- Pperial potentate of the Shrine, cut a ribbon at the main gate to the fairgrounds in ceremonies formally opening the exposition. The Shriners cavorted through downtown Tampa, giving impromp- tu concerts and songfests until time for their grand parade out to the fair grounds to present their afternoon program. The fair will continue through Feb. 14. Cpl. Carbonell Begins Deep Sea Diver Training Corporal Harold P.

SUNDAY | NEW YORK (®—Movie actor Alan Curtis died Sunday, a week after a-kidney- operation followed by a four-minute failure of his heart. He was 43. Officials of St. Clare’s Hospital reported last week he was sitting up sipping tea only a few hours after the kidney operation when his heart stopped beating. A resident physician made an incision and massaged Curtis’ heart by hand for four minutes before it began to beat again. LIST OF KNOWN DEAD (Continued from Page One) not yet been announced. He was lost in the Bentwater area. The airmen serve in the U. S. Third Air Force. All American victims were living in English homes. An Air Force spokesman said the U. S. bases. themselves are still “operational” and have not been flooded out. The Zeeland section of Southwest Holland and the Thames -estuary of Southeast England emerged as the chief centers of death, destruc- tion and misery wrought by the hurricane-fanned giant waves and tides which crashed inland over the week end, smashing everything in their path. Many sections of Holland still were isolated, with as-year-unre- corded dead. Early today, 48 hours after the disaster struck, word finally reached Amsterdam tnat 200 people had drowned in the tiny village of Stavenisse. An exhausted messenger from the burgomaster of Oude Tonge staggered to safety telling of 180 corpses piled high in a shed on the twin islands of Goeree and Over Flakkee.
