This statement touched off a spirited exchange between the two executives in which King pointed out at that the real reason for their clash was a $50 per month pay Taise he had offered Roberts who scorned it as “being an insult to his intelligence.” Roberts asked for $100 and King replied that he would be glad for him to have it if the city com- mission would approve. ‘I think he earns every penny he makes,” King declared, Roberts continued his attack say- ing that he has {ought alone for what he believes to be right. He pointed out that he “had opposed the Toppino deal and the ‘stadium | good-will deal.” He was speaking of a $20,000 contract the city fath- ers entered into with the Toppino Construction Company without cal- ling for bids and the proposed pur- | chase of the concessions at the Wickers Field Stadium by the city and writing off the expenditure as for “good will.” Roberts has. re- peatedly said that while the moves were not illegal they were highly irregular. ‘Tl fight any deal, I ask no! favors and give none. I'll fight any | man who doubts my integrity, Mr. | King is clouding the issue -- for months I have considered resign- ing, because of ill-health. I am thankful to have the confidence of my people,” Roberts declared. The City Manager then picked up the ball to clarify his move in re- signing, “Your vote of confidence means a lot to me,” he told the commission, but I’m a married} man and no monkey business a- bout it. I work at it. I don’t go to nightclubs and I don’t drink. I love my home.” “I gave up my home in Miami Beach when I moved here the first time. I had a desire to do a job for the city. I brought a home here on Avenue E and then I had to resign when I lost my authori- ty. I was approached three years later and I returned to the city. I built a home on Stock Island and then pressure was*brought to en- force a state law and I had to move into the city to a hotel.” (my wife), has given me orders to return to Stock Island on June 16 and I’m going to do it. | will thereby lose my qualifications for the job. I’m going to remain in Key West and do a little fish- ing and a little playing. | appre- ciate your support and confi- dence but on June 16, | am going back to Stock Island,” Commissioner Delio Cobo then moved acceptance of the resigna- tion. It was voted unanimously af- ter it was obvious that King was ‘going to quit, regardless of what the commission said. Earlier, Commissioner Louis M. J.

I don’t like that.” “There was larceny in the city hall - money was stolen from the taxpayers, King is the top man but the woman worked here for more than two years without being bond- ed. Why didn't the top man know?” he asked. “My vote brought him here and I don't like to see him go but I think that his resignation is in or- der,” Eisner declared. The commissioner then asked for the resignation of City Tax Col- lector Archie Roberts, as well. Mayer C. B. Harvey injected another note into the heated dis- cussion when he asked why, dur. ing the two months that he was investigating the embezzlement | in the Tax ffice, Roberts had allowed the woman te make off with mere money. “While he was watching, another $700 was stolen,” said the Mayor. Commissioner Jack paid a moving tribute to Kings’ accomplishments while in office when he lauded him, in a prepared statement, for the work he has done. “I have prayed a lot about this matter,” said Delaney, “and it has been a pleasure to have been associated with you. You have a vast source of valuable knowledge jand have been an asset to the city. He then pointed up the work that King has done in connection with the sewer project, the establish- ment of a wage schedule for city, |ever, Eisenhower might well de- “Mr. King is the best | Ad Agency To | Have Hand In Ike TV Report By ED CREAGH WASHINGTON uw — The New York advertising firm that puts Jack Benny, Groucho Marx and “Your Hit Parade” on the air will | have a hand in President Eisen- hower’s televised report to the peo- ple tomorrow night. The White House says, however, that the ad agency, Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborne, will provide only technical assistance—that is, will lend a hand with lighting, ex- hibits and such but won’t have any- thing to do with the program’s con- tent. BBDO, as the agency is known in the trade, had a considerable role in Eisenhower’s campaign for the presidency last year. It con- tributed, among other things, a number of ideas aimed at drama- | tizing Eisenhower’s candidacy and | his appearances before crowds. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told reporters yesterday the agency will contri- bute its technical services without charge, “as a public service,” for the Wednesday night TV produc- tion, a sort of panel show with! four Cabinet members joining the | President before the cameras. Eisenhower will share the screen with Atty. Gen. Brewnell, Secre- | tary of the Treasury Humphrey, | Secretary of Agriculture Benson and Secretary of Health, Educa-! tion and Welfare Hobby. : This lineup indicated the Presi- | dent might skip foreign affairs | and perhaps his controversial Air | Force budget cuts as well, since} neither Secretary of State Dulles | nor Secetary of Defense Wilson | was chosen for the panel. How-| cide to talk abput foreign affairs and defense matters himself. Hagerty said the President will made by the administration” and also will chat with the Cabinet members about the work of their departments. Eisenhower and his aides will go on all four major television net- works at 8:30 p.m., EST, Wednes- | day. The program also will be) broadcast simultaneously on. some | radio outlets and from recordings later on others. Rosenbergs’ Time Is Running Out, Lawyer Is Told NEW YORK #—The attorney for condemned atom spies Juliys and Ethel Rosenberg says he will move for a new trial, perhaps la- ter this week, on the ground of what he calls new evidence. The lawyer, Emanuel H. Bloch, | | made his intentions known in Fed- eral Court yesterday as the judge who doomed the husband and wife team warned that their time is running out. Federal Judge Irving R. Kauf- ;Man once again.refused to spare | the lieves of the Rosenbergs and, | speaking of future defense motions, | told Bloch: “I would suggest that you bring | on everything you have with dis-| patch.” | Bloch said the plea for a new trial, along with further motions | in the U. S. Court of Appeals, was | among moves he would make for} his clients. | Kaufman last Friday ordered the | | Rosenbergs to be put to death in} ithe electric chair at Sing Sing} Prison, Ossining, N.

King, in closing, pointed out that he dated his resignation June 15) so that he could prepare the an }nual budget and have at least one caucus with the city commission before leaving. As the meeting drew to a hectic close. Finance Director Roberts asked that a letter be read con- firming his decision to leave the city’s employ.

The skies were leaden, and! earlier there had been rain. Two million or more persons jammed | the route from Buckingham to the abbey, and from the abbey back to the palace. Nearly two hours were assigned for the second part of the procession, running more} than five miles through some of} London’s most famous streets, aft- er the coronation. Some of the spectators had been camped along the route 24 hours or more, weathering 44-degree temperatures. They were cheered last night by the announcement that a British team of mnuotain- eers had made the top of Mt. Ev- erest, as a sort of coronation gift to the Queen. When the Queen and the Duke| of Edinburgh left Buckingham from the massed thousands near-| by. Tite Queen, in her crimson} robe of state, continually waved and smiled as her four-ton coach, resplendent in gold and drawn by eight beautiful grey horses, ap- proached the abbey. The duke} joined in acknowledging the cheers. Preceding the Queen to the ab- bey were Queen Mother Elizabeth, 22-year-old Princess Margaret and other members of the royal family. Also in the crowd of 7,500 were Prime Minister Churchill, the prime ministers of the other Com- | monwealth nations, and represen- tatives of foreign governments. Gen. George C. Marshall headed the U. S. delegation and Andrei Gromyko represented the Soviet Union, For her coronation, the young monarch wore beneath her various royal robes a white satin gown, embroidered in pearls, crystals and diamonds with the symbols of Commonwealth nations. Designed by Norman Hartnell, the gown had a molded bodice cut square over the shoulders but curv- ing to a slightly heart-shaped cen- ter over the bosom, The sleeyes were halfway to the elbow and the skirt was full and flaring. The bodice was encrusted with a delicate lattice-work of seed pearl and crystal. An embroidered | band of golden crystals, graduated | diamonds and pearls bordered the bodice top, sleeves and extreme | hem of the skirt. The only design | to appear above the waistline was a diminutive version of the pale pink tudor rose on each sleeve. Worked. in bandsof embroidery around the slightly trained skirt were emblems of the Common- wealth nations. The Queen's accessories includ- ed long gloves and a diamond Queen Mother Elizabeth’s gown also was cf white satin. It was embroidered all over with a design of delicate, trailing ostrich feath- ers, decorated with gold silver and tiny diamond-like jewels, Princess | Margaret wore a white sati. gown with a fitted bodice, square neck- line and very full skirt. It was richly embroidered in Enlgish me- dallion design. é Television cameras were called into use for the first time for the abbey ceremony. Television was | used in 1937 at the coronation of | King George VI, but only for the procession, | The pageantry was relayed to one of the biggest radio and tele- vision audiences in history. The British Broadcasting Corp. broad-| cast accounts by radio to 59 coun-! tries, including some behind the | Iron Curtain. | In addition, BBC said its tele- vision was available to over 30 million Britons—more than half the nation’s total population. In| France, Germany and The Nether- | lands, thousands more witnessed jthe pomp and circumstance over an international TV hookup. A Capberra jet and other air-} craft Waited at London's airport and in Labrador to fly the films to TV audiences in the United States and Canada, Besides Gen. Marshall, the offi- cial U_ S. delegation included Gov. Earl Warren of California, Gen Omar Bradley and Mrs. Fleur Cowles, New York aubtor. The guests elso included 30 rep- Tesentatives of royal families from countries other than Britain. No sovereign kings of queens were present, however, since it is against tradition for an independ- ent monarch to attend the crown- ing of another. | The Queen is the seventh woman monarch of England. She succeed. ed to the thone when George VI died February, 1952. She was plac- ed in line for the crown when her uncle, Edward VIll, sow Duke of Windsor, abdicated Dec, 10, 1936, to marry the American divorcee, Wallis Warfield Simpson.

Elizabeth Taylor Stars In Movie To Show At Strand} It was inevitable that M-G-M would eventyally star Elizabeth Taylor in a motion picture titled’! “The Girl Who Had Everything,” the romantie drama in which she will appear at the Strand Theatre June 7, 8 and 9 on the. . with Fernando Lamas ‘and Wil- liam Powell. If ever a title fitted a girl, that one was tailor-made for Taylor. Nature endowed Elizabeth with striking looks and impressive tal- ents as and actress. And she has other creative ability. At the age of fifteen she not only wrote a successfdr book bht did her own il- lustrations for it. The walls of her friends’ homes now boast oils and water colors with the initials, E. T., scrawled in a2 corner. She has a rare gift for poetry. She Plays the piano and sings. Miss Taylor has always been modest about her aecomplishments but, along with the title of her new picture, she admits that she now has about everything a girl could desire, including an adoring hus- band (actor Michael Wilding), a home of her own, and a third mem- Bill’s Licensed PAWN SHOP. 716 DUVAL ST.
