BOOSTER Editor The Citizen; Couple days ago, I threw on the loudest sport shirt I own and grabbed a bus for town. Perhaps my shirt knocked this guy who sat next to me silly, but anyway he made the most ridiculous state- ment of the year, He said he wouldn't make Key West his home if they gave him | the whole blooming island. It look- ed like the poor guy was dead serious about it, too, Now, I haven’t got any argument on a man’s likes and dislikes. I'm as human as they come. My little wife says 1 do more growling over | cold coffee than most citizens | would if a hurricane rvared up | Duval, ignoring all traffic lights. | Personally, I hate the Yankees, and what's more, I Lope those Go | Go White Sox beat the holy stuff- | ing out of them all year. How do| you like them apples? I was also over-joyed to see Mr. Marciano go into that little shuffle which per- suaded pirr old Joe to sit out the next fourteen stanzas, I missed the Susie Q, as Joe’s bruad back gob- bled up most of the TV screen, and besides I missed all the excel- lent commercials that would have followed had Joe kept his chin covered. I enjoyed it just the same But that guy’s statement on the bus needs a wee bit of analyzing I dare say this Key is worth a modest amount of lettuce. Now, money ain't everything, but it helps a fellow like me lie away some spare time. Why, I'd park on the tiniest spoil area in the Keys for what Key West would bring ct a cut rate fire saie. Thinking in terms of bilfiold and pocket change, I'll wager that I'd live atop on of the Key West Navy radio towers till old age toppled me off.

And a person don’t write like Hemingway by building sand piles on a beach or making rash state- ments. Then again, if a fellow’s luck is good he can snag a few fish around this Key, That means a lot in my book. A man that don’t en- joy wetting a fish line once in a while ain't living a full life. I eye him with suspicon, won’t speak to him at the dog races and his wife will never borrow a cup of sugar at my house if I know it. Granted, Key West might be a pebble along side, well, say Texas, but the size of something ain’t what makes it good or bad. Oaks come from acorn and diamonds are smaller than boulders. So, there’s an outside chance | that the guy on that downtown bus jwas all wet. What he said ain't ; necessarily ‘so. It could have been my sport shirt. | Cc. Cc. WOOD 1222-A Seminary Street Mendes Asks To Be French Premier PARIS W# — Pierre Mendes- France went before the National Assembly today to ask confirma- tion as France's 19th postwar Pre- mier and told the lawmakers if they approved him, he would pre- sent a plan for ending the Indo- chinese war at the forthcoming Big Three conference in Bermuda. The 46-year-old economic expert | said he could not go into details | of the plan at presert, but in the | past he has repeatedly demanded that France negotiate to get out of its Far Eastern possession and concentrate on building up its; strength in Europe. As Mendes-France made his bid for the premiersnip, he appeared to have no better than an even chance. Opinion among the dep- uties was divided and the big So- cialist bloc apparently held the key to the situation. If approved by the Assembly, he then would try to form a coalition cabinet. Mendes-France, a Radical So- cialist leader, toid the Assembly if confirmed he would demand of fent Eisenhower and Prime ister Churchill “the assurances that appear necessary” to quiet ‘grave fears” he said had arisen many Frenchmen at the pros- pect of rearming Germany. M s-France was the fourth m nated to eed the nation's Cabinet crisis, precipi- tated May 21 when Premier Rene Mayer was forced out of office by failing to win a vote of confidence.

More likely they'll propose some changes, which would mean more talking. Any one of the three answers will require major deci- sions from President Eisenhower’s administration. For two years, since ‘mid-1951, this country has endured the mad- dening bickering of the truce talks, | hoping to avoid bloodshed by even- tually finding a peaceful solution, If the Reds suggest further nego- tiations, Eisenhower and his mili- tary and congressional leaders must decide whether to continue the talks, which could go on for months and get nowhere, or begin taking stronger action. In the two years of truce-talking, unity among the Allies has become more fragile although, on its lat- est truce offer, this country has the backing of its Western friends. This has put pressure on the Communists to avoid a flat rejec- tion, which might solidify the Allies anew and harden world opinion against them. Therefore they may take the middle ground of more negotia- tions. This would give them more time to work on dividing the Allies - ae thinking inside the Once the Communists suggested further talks, the pressure would shift to Eisenhower, He might be convinced the Reds were stalling = oe war would go on indefin- itely less this country began direct action. aes But he couldn't make such a decision without first considering the willingness of the allies to go along. They have shown great inclination to compromise, hoping | to avoid expansion of the war. Yet, Eisenhower knows one of the reasons for his election was the faith of many voters that he could find a way out of the Korean labyrinth. As of this moment a solution seems no closer than when he took office in January. If the Communists turn their backs on this country’s truce terms, rejecting them entirely and holding out no hope of eventual agreement, Eisénhower then is up against his biggest decision so far as President: Does he then order a direct assault on North Korea? If so, should it be a limited thrust intend- ed to punish the Chinese and make them want a truce without actu- ally crushing them or driving them out of Korea? Or, does he order the all-out attack which, if not in detail, at Teast in nature and intent would be what Gen. MacArthur proposed in 1951? If this is the decision, and Russia comes to the active aid of China, World War III begins. If the.truce talks collapse tonight with a “no” answer by the Com- munists, Eisenhower will begin feeling the pressure at home to act, somehow. One thing is certain: The Chi- nese have used the delay since 1951 to rebuild their forces in North Korea, and dig them in. Any Teal attack og them now would cost infinitely more in men and effort than it would have two years ago. Suppose the Communists tonight accept the U. S. truce terms. Within 90 days after the cease-fire, Peace talks must begin. They might take twice as long as the two-year truce talks. No one pre- dicts their length or outcome. And since an armistice is only a cease-fire and not peace, this coun- try must keep troops in Korea against any sudden decision by the Chinese to break the armistice with an attack. Two of the main problems, if peace talks start, are these: Heads Homeward OTTAWA, (®—A 60-year-old whe likes cities only on coronation days started his 2,000-mile journey back to the North Alberta wilds today. He’s traveling the same way he came—by bicycle. “Just call me Johnny,” said the tanned little man who explained he got tired of the city in 1945, took his savings and headed for _ the bush. He built a shack—“I wouldn’t tell you where for a million dol- lars”—and lived iike a hermit, but this spring he got the idea of see- ing Ottawa’s coronation celebra- tion. “I was there last time so I fig- ured I might join in saluting the new Queen,” he said Starting April 7, he bicycled 49 or 50 miles da day, slept out and cooked his own meals. His one good suit, in his kitbag, went to an Ottawa presser. Monday night. Today Johnny was heading back, with 2,000 more miles of pedaling ahead, but “it was worth every mile, If every day was the same, maybe I'd stay a little longer.” No Damage Done CHICAGO —Fire alarm opera- tors got their big chance yester- day—they turned in a fire alarm. “I'm no fool,” said Chief Oper- ator Harold Hart. “When two sten- ographers put their heads in the door and said there was a fire in | the ladies’ washroom, I called the |fire department.” The fire was in a wastebasket |50 feet down the hall from the alarm office on the sixth floor of | City Hall.
