ORDINANCE NO, 39° Mission )| Marine Band From! SAKHALIN * .) Miami To Appear (USSR) * AN + Ear To The Ground + By JIM COBB ananaannmnneaanasesaasnacasanaaannnns Key West’s political boiling pot is singing merrily these davs and the latest hassle to result from the “jockeying for position” as the November vote derby “nears” ---the attempted removal of City; Manager Dave King, points up just how volatile the situation has become. Monday night, every enemy that Dave King has in town and you can’t do a good job in his position without stepping on a few toes, was at the city hall gleefully waiting for him to get his head chopped off. Just about every ex-B-Gal ex- trant, who would all like to be back in business at the old stand, was waiting for a chance to cheer his ouster. That chance never came. David is a thick skinned indi- vidual. It appeared that the fac- tion trying to engineer his dismis- sal, when they introduced such a flimsy argument, was hoping that Mr. King would blow his top and say the “heck with it.” He didn’t. Why? Sometimes, when he gets caught in the middle of some of these elassie squabbles our current crop of commissioners get themselves involved in--it is a wonder he wants the position. Perhaps it is because he wants to see the job through--like any good workman. He has made great strides in cleaning. up the city and making it a more whole- some place in which to live. He has fought hard and his efforts are bearing fruit, He is not ab ways tactful--but who would be with the pressure he works under. And it is sad commentary, actual- ly depressing, when you realize that the only people who show up at the city commission meetings are those with a personal axe to grind or those with a mercenary Teason for being there. True, there are a few exceptions, but what is needed is an organ, iged group to go up there atvevery’ meeting and see just what is going on. Take a B-girls’ living away from here and she’ll be up there to cry on the commissioner's shoulders asking for redress---but seldom do you sée the solid citizenery keep- ing a; check on the proceeding We pad a phone conversation with Mrs. Hugh Williams Tuesday morning. Mrs. Williams was a member of the committee of Key Westers who re-wrote the ene group included former mayor W. W. 'Defaerritt, Wallace Kirke, Lee Goddaid, Col. Lewis Brinton and Fred Bberhardt. Mr. Willia indignant over what had . trans- ‘onday night. “i was proud to be a member of that committee,” she said, “I think the good citizens of Key West sfould get behind Mr. King. If we flon’t we may lose him and hag done an exceedingly good jobs” | * An igdication of how Key West- ers rajes on the Florida sporting scene Was given by Eddie Herr, Miami!\Beach ‘tennis impressario who inged the meeting be- ‘Frank Sedgmen and Jack for March 2nd at Casa Marina courts when he “Key West was selected in pre- ferenc¢ to three other Florida cities jncluding Miami, Coral Ga- bleg afd St. Petersburg.” You ‘ean quote me as saying tha’ Mey West has the greatest group x mage fans in the state, ic 5 ut #4 case you are not tired of i the latest dope from the ~Girl igcene, here is one bar own- er whé admits to having one of the city’s largest groups of gals opevatfhg in his place, has to say about the situation: “Now that I’m ri of the gals, I don’t know why I ever messed with that kind of ‘operation.
