He caught the fish on standard fishing gear. The shark put up a stiff battle and it was an hour and a half before it could be boated. Hertz said that “he wanted to give ‘up twice during the battle.” He was fishing with Miss Frances Wohlitka, College Park, New York, who landed a 40-pound Wahoo after a half hour fight on the same day.

Rep. Glenn R. Davis (R-Wis) told the committee yesterday that the number of officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel has in- creased since the war, although half or one-quarter as large. | This means, he said, the: ratio: of senior officers to enlisted men is about four times greater today. The Army, he said, will have 451 major generals next June for a 1,600,000-man Army, compared to 459 for the seven million men of the war. Rep. Norblad (R-Ore), a com- mittee member, said the Navy has 295 admirals for a million-man fleet, compared to 287 for a four- million-man wartime force. _ The committee heard these S consider ways of all la- tions to prevent fen ee Teers of 10,000 junior nayal offi- cers.

The evidence is in an ‘announce- ment by the University of: Cali- fornia at Los Angeles, where Capt. Jan Drent of the Dutch Nederland Lines, now retired, is a graduate student. The school calls Drent’s observa- tions of the Zodiacal Light “the first important evidence to support the theory that the strange light is caused by the reflection of sun- light by the vestigial remain of a cosmic dust cloud from which the | solar system may have been ' formed.” This means that the light seems jto be proof that such interplane- tary dust exists, and on a scale oe through the solar system. rill & lal “Tt is not difficult to conceive,” says the school’s statement, “‘of the | cosmic cloud as the remains of | | the primeval source of the (larger) planets as well as the rest of the system.” A blizzard preceded the Wil- |liam Howard Taft inaugural parade and an army of shovelers |had to clear the streets before it could march. REVIVAL | ONE-PACKAGE* PLAN FOR APPROPRIATIONS WASHINGTON (®—A bill calling for Congress to vote all regular government funds in a single mea- sure was offered yesterday by 46 senators, almost enough to assure Passage. The one-package appropriations idea was tried in 1950. and then abandoned because, critig said, it was_ unwieldy. Congress normally handles about a dozen regular money bills each year. Sen. Byrd (D-Va), chief sponsor of the idea, said the new bill would allow Congress to limit spending from funds voted in past years, in addition to fixing the amounts carried in the bill itself. Byrd described the bill as one which would permit Congress “to recapture a measure” of control over federal spending. SHRIMPER ‘CHARGED (Continued from Page One) beat him in a fight at the Dayco Docks on January 25th so badly that he required hospitalization for a week. Guerro was arrested at that time by police officers Henry Loun- ders and Ansel Albury. He plead- ed guilty to the charge. He is being held in the Monroe County Jail under bond of $250. Thursday, February 5, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN * VICE SQUAD TO (Continued trem Page Une) girls have cnticed customers to purchase for them. The club operators claim that they will have difficulty meeting their payroll. without the practice of “drink pushing.” City Manager Dave King said that he has employed the full-time operative, who will work in plains- clothes, not only to ‘enforce the B-Girl ordinance but to check the bars for violations of all other laws on the city’s books as well. Noise issuing from bar rooms will be checked closely, King said. The officer will report directly to King in a plan similar to those he has had in effect in other cities, he said today. King admitted toda} that “he will have to be very careful in making arrests under the new ordinance.” The measure makes it illegal for any employer to hire anyone to solicit drinks in his establishment; for entertainers to mingle with customers; it eliminates loitering by anyone without visible means of support and prohibits anyone soliciting drinks. The ordinance provides penalties up to a $250 fine, 60 days in jail or both for offenders.
