i Key West High School Elected To Crack Gold Coast Conference Monday Six Team Circuit Will Start Action In September: The Key West High School gained a place under the state schoolboy athletic sun Monday night when they were elected as charter members of the newly form- ed Gold Coast Conference. The word came on the heels of news that Key West has been designated as a Class AA school, putting their rating on a par with the the best in the state. As members if the six team cir- cuit, Key West will compete {n football, basketball and baseball with the other clubs who include Miami Beach, South Dade, Constance, South Broward, and Miami Tech, . —- ‘That Key West's prestige has risen is evidenced by the fact that on June 8th, the Conch base- ball team will journey to Fort Pierce to seek the State baseball title. They won the dis- trict crown recently. Coach Ed Beckman, halted pre- parations for a trip north today to comment on the formation of the new, conference, “It will be a good thing for us to be in the confer- ence,” he said, “we will neither be the best nor the worst team in there. We are going to have to fight.” The Conchs will meet all of the teams in the loop on the gridiron in the fall with the exception of South Dade, who will, not be eligi- ble. Beckman named Miami Tech and South Broward as the tough- est teams in the conference. The Tocals battled to a bruising 12-12 tig with the South Browards last season. They have not met the| Miami club as yet although they are on the schedule this fall. With planning already underway, this year’s attendance is expected | to top 1952 which went over the 25,000 mark Yor seven horne games. | on the schedule is a Thanks- | givi night homecoming game i will pit the Conchs against J first of an annual series.

Everyone appeared to enjoy the music, especially such things as from Jerome Kern's “Show Boat.” The ballplayers seemed to like the music, too, al- though one Cleveland relief pitcher couldn't resist a temptation to dance-step after a fly ball during batting practice which took place during the concert. Cleveland was conducted to a 73 victory over Boston by pitcher Mike Garcia. Candidates In Italy Stump The Country Important Election Will Decide On New Government Leaders ROME, Italy i — Candidates stumping for next week's Italian preliminary elections criss-crossed the peninsula with unflagging zeal today as the campaign reached its third from the last day. After a brief pause Saturday to cool off and think it over—the law Says campaigning must end 24 hours before voting—an estimated 30 million Italians wall troop to the polls Sunday and Monday to choose among Premier Alcide de Gasperi’s middle-of-the-road coalition, a ris- ing right or a powerful left. The voters will elect 590 mem- bers of the Chamber of Deputies and 237 senators from a list of 7,416 candidates, Palmir Togliatti, chief of the big- gest Communist party this side of the Iron Curtain, told a crowd in Naples estimated st 75,000 ‘The United States promised that with her help South Italy will become a new California. It is a lie. De Gasperi’s policy aims only at war. We want no more orders from America to make cannons.” Pietro Nenni, head of the Red- supporting Socialists, said in Gen- oa: “If the new relaxation in world tensions does not last, if a new crisis besets the world, Socialists will become the watchdogs of Ital- ian neutrality.” The 72-year-old De Gasperi, one of the campaign’s hardest workers, made no formal speech yesterday but one of his top men, strong-arm Interior Minister Mario Scelba, spoke in his native Sicily. Perhaps significantly, he aimed hs verbal Fh) ad at the Communists but at the Fascist MSI. “During the last five years more has been done to increase the liv- ing standards of Southern Italy than during 20 years of fascism,” he declared. Air Force Head Says Cutbacks Won’t Hamper WASHINGTON (—Secretary of the Air Force Talbott told senators today that a cutback of more than five billion dollars in new Air Force bunds will not seriously de- lay new combat equipment for 143 or more wings. The present interim goal of the Eisenhower administration is 120 wings by December, 1955. How- ever, Talbott testified the goal may be raised within the next six months after a restudy of overall defense plans by the new Joint Chiefs of Staff. A wing varies in size from 75 fighters to 30 bombers. Talbott gave complete backing to the reduced defense budget of President Eisenhower. Gen. Hoyt &, Vandasberg, reticing chief of the| on — air staff, waited a chance to give his views. Both were called before a tele- vised, brightly lighted public hear- ing of the Senate Appropriations Many Students oe Watch Lawmakers In Tallahassee TALLAHASSEE (®— More stu- dents than ever before have watch- | ed Florida's lawmakers at work | this session of the Legislature.
