He added that he did not have full information on the law and that he would like to see what the law is before he took a stana on it. Asked about his stand on gam- bling, Odham said he was op- posed to any extension of the present legalized gambling — herse and dog racing. “What about a set-up such as Nevada has?” he was asked. Odham said he was opposed to that but that he would not veto Restaurant on Plantation Key. Wilson also said that motorists must bring 1953 registrations with Anyone who wants a special number, he added, must pay $1 extra, The dollar, he said, goes to the Florida Crippled Children’s Home. If your car has 1953 Florida plates, you have until midnight Feb. 20 to get ’54 tags on your car, according to Thomas J. Dixon, de- puty motor vehicle commissioner for Monroe County. However, Dixon added, some persons already are subject to ar- rest for having improper tags on their cars. “Some people are riding around without any plates on their car,” he said. “They are subject to arrest immediately.” He said the same was true of| boat trailers without licenses. He also pointed out that per- sons employed in Florida but such a law if it were voted by the people. Qdham also scored Gov.

Apparently a religious zealot, Linder made the local headlines on October 21 when he figured in a Criminal Court case in which he accused a man of assaulting him in a local bar, At that time, he tes- tified that when he asked a bar- maid “if she believed in God,” he was knocked flat, On the witness stand, during the trial of his assailant, he gave a story of “turning the other cheek.” “I told the man that if you want to smite me on one cheek, smite me on the other. And he did, too,” Linder was quoted as testifying, Linder, who his acquaintances say has shown an intense pre-oceupae tion with religion in recent months, apparently inflicted the damage to himself with a kitchen knife. An ambulance is on the way today from Pratt Veteran's Hospital, Cor- al Gables, where he will receive further treatment. Police officer Edward Ra Said in his report that in the pre. sence of another officer and a nurse, Linder told him that “no one had cut him—he had done it himself.” Ramirez added that when he checked Linder’s room, he found an open Bible, a rosary and @ quantity of religious tracts, The diary, with its final entry (Continued On -Page Two) iven To K.W, Key West has been recetving some valuable publicity according z les and in the sporting world.
