1952-53 TOURIST (Continued from Page One) fo the mild winter up north and fo the change of Administration’. Salt Air Motel, owned by K. H. Kiplinger had a ‘“‘quite satisfac- tory season.” “Considering the Increase in the number of accomodations for tourists, this year was just as good as last year,” Kiplinger said. Now that the winter tourists have departed, Salt Air is filling up with Navy families and ex- pects the summer visitors to start ONLY FOUR Friday Night, May 15th THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, May 12, 1953 Pouring in in June, when school lets out. The Santa Maria Motel at the beach always does a good business according to owner George Bona- my. The Chamber of Commerce monthly business index shows that there were more motorists travel- ling southbound through the toll gate than last year. That is a standard of increase for the sea- son, it is generally agreed. The Chamber does not poll restaurants about their business,, or retail stores, so it is not possible to judge accurately the extent of the 1952-53 growth in these fields.

JOHNSON WACO, Tex. (\®—Man-killer tor- nadoes, striking with rare fury 200 miles and two hours apart, killed at least 42 persons—possibly as many as 150—and injured hun- dreds of others yesterday. The death count at Waco, in Central Texas, and at San Angelo, on the West Texas plains, was far from settled today as frantic res- cue crews dug into the rubble, ; Waco had 34 <nown dead; San Angelo had eight fer sure. From 25 to 30 teen-agers were feared trapped in a Waco recrea- tion hall. Property damage in the two cities was estimated in the millions with business structures, homes and automobiles destroyed. The tornadoes were a tragic climax to a day of violent weather G8 rs Se) Episcopal Women Meet Wednesday The Spring In - Gathering of United Thank Offering “of the Women of St. Paul's Episcopal Church will be held Wednesday at 9 a. m. at the church.

Driving rain and hail struck over a wide section of the state. San Angelo was in one of the areas most heavily damaged by Texas’ long drought. Waco, a city cf more than 90,000, was the hardest hit by the twisting, mauling winds. The Waco civil defense co-ordinator, ‘ Jim Meredith, said 44 persons were killed and that the death toll might reach 100 or 150 with more than 500 injured. The Red Cross said 67 were killed. Stores, houses, shops, every kind of structure, were razed in Waco. The five-story R. T. Dennis Build- ing was smashed almost to ground level and threw a death-dealing shower of brick and rubble into the street to crumble automobiles like match boxes and kill their occupants. Scores of persons were trapped in the Joy Theater but the num- ber killed was unknown, An un+ determined number were rescued quickly but early today huge cranes, bulldozers and men with their bare hands dug doggedly at the wreckage. Two hours before the tornado lashed Waco, a similar storm hit San Angelo, West Texas sheep- raising center. At least eight were killed and more than 70 injured as the winds flattened homes over a mile-square area and demolished all structures ac the San Angelo Fairground. Scores of school children were reported among the injured in San Angelo, where nearly every win- dow in the Lakeview School was blown out. Teachers at the school were praised for ordering the chil- dren into hallways when they saw the storm approaching. More ser- ious injuries and possible deaths were prevented, school officials said. All of downtown Waco was under martial law. Airmen from Connally Air Force Base, Boy Scouts, police and firemen patroiied in pitch dark OWNER DEFAULTS (Continued trom Page One) the Sergeant!/of Arms of the inited States Berry said tanamo Bay, | southeastern ‘tip of the island. | The boat whs towed there and re- { pairs made, the cost of which was | $2,151.64. Since the boat was still inopera- | tive, it was tv to the United States.

In addition, {expenses in preparation for the tow amounting to $23.67 were in- curred by Mrs. Geneau. When the bill was not paid, the government started action and the Mrs. Geneau either could not or would not take care of it, The yacht will probably be put up for public sale at auction, some time in the future unless Mri Geneau satisfies the lien. Mich. 31.15. $4.10] Len Angin al. 38 a | Commission was appointed to that ‘proof that the defendant GOVERNOR USES (Continued from Page One) Stirrup, Juan Lopez, Sr., and Lou- ig M. J. Eisner. Since the Governor has thrown out Rep. Papy’s bill to continue these members by permitting them to perpetuate themselves in office, McCarty may appoint his own five-man Keys Aqueduct Commis- sion, it was said. The bill was introduced and passed by the House and Senate as a locai measure, which means that reciprocal courtesy insured its passage. It stated that the Commission members could choose their own successors, and would have had authority to re- move members. The present law, the one under |. which the Commission was ‘estab- lished, provides appointment by the Governor and gives him author- ity to remove them after hearings or inefficiency, misconduct or ne- glect of duty. Ernest Ramsey, manager of the full-time job in 1942, The Commis- sion board members are part time; they meet and decide on pol- icy matters affecting the supply of water to Key West. The Commission has voted to, build a multi-million dollar pipe- line running parallel to the Navy’s pipeline to expand the present sup- K ply of water to the Keys and Key West. Engineering plans have been drawn and action on the water line had been expected in June. The summer with {ts increase in lawn watering, washing, show- ers, is already affecting the al- ready low pressure in Key West. The new line will not be complet- ed for a year or more, COMMISSION DEFERS (Continued from Page One) ferry line will necd the entire dock area for their operations. He pointed out that the city receives more than $7,000 arnually from Fentals to business establishments at the dock, which amount would be lost to the city. “I would like to’see the ferry in operation,” Cobo said yesterday, “but at the same time, I would like to have the city get some security.” The ferry company, who will operate a thrice weekly service, is asking the rental of the dock for a minimum $30,000 per year r- rantee. ee HATCHET CASE HEARD (Continued from Page One) tried in adult Criminal Court,( but their home, school and wor! conditions remain urder the a eye of the Juvenile aut son said.
