The sea shots’will be taken off Mud Key, where Bryant explor- ed with local -charterboatmen and divers this week. Though he would: like to take’ more of the underwater shots around Key West, Bryant finds that the Ba- hamas offers more variety of coral crevasses, caves, and for- mations. Bryant, Webb and other studio men have been at the Cas Marina all week making arrangements for the intensive work of the next month. Dining last night. with Max Marmostein, hotel owner, and Emmitt Conniff, general manager, Bryant went over the long of players and crew and their accomodations.

Charter Referendum (Continued from Page One) an ordinance “to protect the Mayor against the proposed leg- islation which will make him run again.” “I’ve got to run again and I won't step into a political fight with the two men involved,” Eis- ner added. But, he reiterated his belief that it is “a good bill and any commissioner who did not vote for it is a little off.” He then asked chat Papy be in- vited to confer with the commis- sion this afternoon and agreed to make the necessary arrange- ments. ‘ Mayor Harvey, speaking in de- fense of the ordinance, said: “In attempting to pass this ordinance, I was doing the right thing. I certainly am not fighting for a job or a raise -- the pay is only $250 a year. If I saw just one little clause -- calling for approval by the people on these local bills, I might go along with them.” Eisner decried the action of the Mayor of “putting two candidates for re-election on the spot by asking them to vote on the mea- sure last night.’ Protein eaten in steak ‘coast about $6. a pound.

MCARTHUR SEOUL —U. S. Marines and Chinese Reds were locked in sav- age battle today for Vegas outpost, captured by a fierce 3,500-man Communist attack on a 5%4-mile stretch of the Korean Western Front. The U. S. First Marine Division troops, fighting hand-to-hand, bat- tered their way into the lower trench line of the smoking height, while other Leathernecks charged toward the top. The Marine assault was sup- Ported by thundering rocket and tank fire. The ‘hill was shrouded with smoke from exploding shells, reducing visibility to a few yards. Associated Press Correspondent Bill Barnard reported from a reg- Red defenders were spraying dead- ly machinegun fire on the Marines. In midafternoon, a First Marine Division. spokesman said neither side held the blood-stained hill, one of two lost in the bitter Red as- sault on 10 Marine outposts. The Leathernecks had stormed up the height at noon in a daring daylight counterattack, but thun- dering Communist artillery fire pinned them down 100 yards from the top. Communist and Marine big guns roared over Vegas, shrouded in the smoke of the crackling battle. Reno, the second Marine outpost lost in the screaming Red attack, remained in Communist hands. The Chinese also clung to devastated Old Baldy, 52 miles north of Seoul, captured Wednesday from the U.S. Seventh Infantry Division. Allied warplanes and artillery gouged the bloody, red dirt hill throughout the day. Airmen said the peak resembled ‘“‘a bed of hot coals.” Sharp fighting spread westward at sundown Thursday when a Chi- nese regiment struck at the 10 Marine outposts 25, miles. south- west of Old Baldy. The jabs were thrown back everywhere except at Vegas and Reno. ‘Both sides have taken heavy loss- es in the mounting Western Front fighting. Nearly 2,000 Chinese cas- ualties have béen counted. Allied losses have not been. announced, but crushing Red artillery fire and bloody hand-to-hand fighting have taken a toll. Redoubled Police Protection Asked Mayor C. B, Harvey last night asked for a study of the possibility of adding extra police protection to areas of the city which have been plagued by prowlers in past weeks. The mayor asked the City Man- ager to view the situation. He add- ed that it may be desirable to as- sign plain-clothes police to the areas. $25,500 PLUS (Continued from Page One) The expenses, itemized are al- so given: Artman Press—$13.75 (printing) | National Flag Co—$2§.83 Stamps—$10 Bulk Mailing Permit—$i0 Stamps—$75 Dept. of Supplies HFIP—$400.- 50 Musician’s Union—$159 Artman Press—$5.00 (printing) Key West Press—$2.32 (rubber stamps) Evans Enterprizes—$i0 (tro- phies) J.
