In no other way, in a country blessed by freedom, could a differ- | > ent course be taken and still maintain a democracy. Many of us complain illogically, when this man or that man is elected, or this or that form of government is chosen, but every thinking man abides by the decision of the ballot box. For instance, The Citizen supported Stevenson, but the people chose Eisenhower, and now he is just. as much The Citizen’s President as Stevenson would have been had he been elected. We are a Union, and should unite behind our officials, unless, of course, they do something that is clearly against the interests of the public. ; The Citizen feels it should explain that attitude in public matters before discussing the proposal to give Key | Westers an opportunity to decide whether or not they wish to return to a councilmanic form of government. Rep- resentative Bernie C. Papy has announced that, at the next session of the legislature, he will introduce a_ bill which, if adopted, will permit Key Westers to decide, next November, whether they wish to maintain the manager- commission government, or wish to reestablish the coun- cilmanic form. : The Citizen favors the retention ofthe present form, but, should Key West voters decide Otherwise, it* will wholeheartedly support that government, a& it is support- ing this one. Under the manager-commission form, proced- ure is more compact and _ efficient. Now, if a resident wishes to complain, he knows the complaint will be acted on by or through the city manager. Uuder the * council- manic form, a complaint made the rounds of “buck pass- ing” and often no action was taken on it. The chief point of those who favor a change is that the councilmanic form is more representative, in that vot- ers decide who shall serve them in top offices in addition to those held by councilmen. Let the people decide, and that is what Representa- tive Papy is doing on this question. That is the esssence of democracy, but in Dade county a senator and two out of three representatives propose to have a law passed to consolidate Miami and Dade county without submitting the question to a referendum. Now, had the senator and the two representatives run on a platform favoring con- solidation, it would be fair and just to have such a law passed. But they said nothing about consolidation when they were campaigning, and, had they advocated combin- ing city and county, they might have been defeated. They} don’t know what the people want, and the right action to take is to let them decide themselves, not act for them | arbitrarily. : Conversely, Papy is letting the people say themselves if they wish to retain the present government, or return to the councilmanic. The Citizen will support the govern- | ment the people choose. \ | | | Many people don’t consider anything important un-| less it is said.or written by someone with a much-publiciz- ed name.

Milano is firmly convineed flying saucers do exist, they are not of this planet, and it is high time us earth people came to terms with them. “They are not hallucinations,” he insisted. “I have scen one my- self, amd my wife has seen sev- eral.” Frank’s ability to imitate. the sound of a flying saucer stems from. a highly educated set of vo- cal chords that earn him $35,000 to $50,000 a year. He is one of the nation’s few professional animal imitators‘and ‘vocal effects artists. Milano, a pleasant, mild-man- nered ex-actor, drifted ‘into his specialty by accident. But today radio and television would be hard put to do without him. He «does the voice effects for half a dozen Programs, ranging from a pup on the Rootie Kazootie show to a live parrot on the Bill Goodwin show. “I can imitate anything from a cficket to a roaring lion,” Frank said. “I've been a gorilla, an ele- phant, a burro, Rip Van Winkle’s dog, and even a mosquito.” He has also been the voice of a | motor boat with a sense of humor, @ wayward bus, a_ jet-propelled » and a omobile starter with a rundow attery. Oh, yes, he also was a Rice Krispie for a while. His “snap, crackle and pop” |performance in that role is, of course, now a part of theatrical history—like Hamiet.- “I like imitating. mechanical gadgets,” Frank said. “Right now.

It is waiting for an op- | Portune moment to try to spring | to power—a moment made for Moscow. William L. Ryan, who has just returned from a tour of the Middle East, dissects the Ira ian political background in this article. By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst They are like hungry cats, |watehing a mouse... The Communists might have ‘tried to take over Iran last July jduring the bloody riotmg. They didn’t and many were surprised. They might have tried at the end of February, but again they | didn’t. The Tudeh (Communist) party is ibiding its time and waitirg for ‘word from Moscow. There must engineered coup in Iran, however made to look like an internal af- fair, might start in motion the} chain of events leading to World | War III, for which Moscow is un-; ready. The Communist party takes noj| important action in Iran without orders from across the border. | This is underscored in the frequent | 24-hour lags between the develop- | ment of a given situation and Tu- deh’s plunge into the middle of it. | This is one of the most impor-! tant weaknesses in the party which | is the strongest organized political | force in Iran today. The party lacks Iranian leadership. Financed ‘and supported by Moscow, it seems powerless to act without outside help, either in the form of Soviet troops or invading satellite forces from the north from the | ranks of tribesmen in Soviet con- | trol. In the event of war, Iran likely | would be taken over quickly, but in this nervous time of official | peace, the Communists seem both | unready and unwilling to try to push the country behind the cur- tain by internal means. However, both the Russians and the Tudeh are building toward the! day when Moscow could take a! gamble or seize advantage of a} golden opportunity. The death or! overthrow of aged Mossadegh, for | example, could be a signal for vio- | jlence and chaos in which the Tudeh might spring to. power. | Watching and waiting is a vast| Soviet installation with the outside help the Tudeh might one day need. | And beyond. the borders, exiled! Communist leaders schooled and directed. by Moscow operate the j Tranian Tudeh party. ! Inside Iran the USSR has an} elaborate espionage network, dom- inated by an immense embassy tucked in a wailed area of Teh- {ran four city blocks square. The USSR has an equally large “‘sum- mer” embassy in the mountain | ‘It has an elaborate hospital in |Tehran, Soviet-staffed, the largest ‘cial section apart from the em- , near the main bazaar.

No! outsider can estimate how many | Russians are there now, but it is a great number in a compound} which is a city to itself, The Rus- sians are seldom seen outside it Into this embassy new men are imported every week. There will be a man brought in as a “typist” for example, and another as “translator for the typist.” andj; others in similarly strange cate- gories. These, it is said, included teachers for about 200 cells in | Tehran to instruct in such things as the street fighting tactics which PEOPLE'S FORUM _ VOTER’S COMPLAINT Editor, The Citizen: All one can hear on the streets of Key West these days is the |proposed bills that are going to} be presented at the session of the legislature that is about to open. I do not want to keep harping on the same old subject but the master dictator of them all said “tell a lie and tell it often enough and they will believe it” maybe the same is true of the truth. In the past general election we the people of Monroe County elec-; ted to the office of sheriff a man that was inexperienced, untried and’ very young. Since his elec- tion and prior to his taking office | we heard all kinds of promises about what a good job he was} going to do and that he was going to be the best sheriff that we have ever had. I am sorry to say that up to, date his only \claim to fame is that he will go down in history as the most expensive sheriff wel have ever had. In the past year the county commissioners voted to build a new jail which I have been told! cost over $3,00,000. This jail was built, approved by the county commissioners inspected by the state and was certified as ac- ceptable to them. It was even dedicated by a state official. Now this inexperienced person who calls himself a sheriff tells us, that taxpayers, that we have wasted our money and that the jail is not secure and réfuses to move prisoners into it, Yet it is secure enough for him as a pri- vate office. f There goes three hundred thou- sand dollars, To cap the climax this man who has shown us nothing but how to spend money has the nerve to offer to the state repre- sentative a bill that he would not dare advertise in its entirelty asking for an increase in salary and various other have not yet come t6 light. Key Wést has gone through se- veral eras and has become fa- mous by these cras but.
