Peon ee STEVENSON ON THE FREE PRESS Adlai E. Stevenson; speaking recently in New York, called attention to the fact that the freedom of the in- . dividual in this country is the key to progress in these troubled times. Expressing his belief that the United Btates would continue to lead the way to a better life for : > dee the defeated Democratic candidate of 1952 _ ., “But reason will not triumph unless the mind is free. The struggle of our times is a struggle to preserve in- tegrity and creativity of the free mind. It has many ene- mies. The most menacing of these foes have been the annihalistic political system, like facism, nazism and communism—the secular fanaticsms of our time.” Y The theme expressed by Stevenson is one which Americans must hold dear to their hearts if intellectual achievements are to bring continuing progress in the various fields. Our citizens must be able to speak free- ly, read freely, organize freely, so long as this activity does not violate the Constitution. : Throughout the history of man, the rate of progress achieved by various races is in direct proportion to the amount of individual liberty and freedom existing among ‘them. As long as the average American is free to read what he pleases, listen to whom he pleases, travel freely, speak his mind and enjoy access to all sources of enter- tainment, news and propaganda he desires, communism will make no significant gain in the United States. AIR COACH TRAVEL UP Airline officials say prospects for 1954 travel vol- is continuing to increase rapidly and that the lower fares of air coach travel are fast making that mode of travel acceptable to the masses. Air coach fares average about thirty per cent cheaper than standard air fares. There is little difference in the so-called coach trav- el and first-class travel on the major airlines, With coach travel tickets, one is not furnished meals and other frills of the trip provided standard fare travelers. On the other hand, schedules are often just as good and air- -eraft are‘ usually comparable on both runs. . Air line officials say prospects for 1954 travel vol- ume are good and that a hundred per cent growth in volume is expected by 1950, Most of this increase is * expected to be in the air-coach bracket. /Willis B. Lips- comb, traffic and sales vice-president of Pan-American Airways, predicts that by 1960 tourist fare passengers will comprise three-fourths of the volume of air travel across the Atlantic.

Personal pronocn Visit To § Editor’s Note: Judge -Aquilino Lopez, Jr., of Circuit Court, and his. wife, Lillian, visited Europe last summer. Many of the judge's out-of-town friends have enjoyed reading a letter describing his trip. The Citizen is. printing an. in- staliment of the letter daily dur- ing the week. This is the fifth installment. On Friday morning, we went for! a tour of Barcelona visiting the Town Hall, the Provincial Council’ Chamber, the Gothic Quarter, the Cathedral, the Spanish village, the ‘Church of the Holy Trinity and then saw the most important parks in the City, Barcelona is a very cosmopolitan city and it is per- it is very modern, The streets are very wide and the center of the town seems to be very well kept. Many of the buildings are very modern but one finds from time to time an old church or home in be- tween which make it picturesque. On Friday night, we left Bar- celona for Madrid by sleeper and arrived in Madrid at 10:00 a, m. on Saturday morning where we ‘went to visit my father and moth- er who had arrived from Key West the day previous. We then went to the Hotel Emperador where we stayed. We remained in Madrid on Saturday and Sunday and also Monday visiting throughout the Ci-| ty. Madrid has become a tourist cen- ter of major importance in Europe as the city has an irrestible ap- peal to the visitor. At-the present time, it is well equipped with ho- tels to suit all and possesses a- mong other things the privilege of living for weeks throughout the year under blue sky. It is a city} ‘with fine avenues and houses and an old quarter of great charm. Madrid has many museums . of great interest including El Prado museum, éonsidered one of the outstanding museums of the world.

From! there we travelled to Cordoba/ where we arrived in the afternoon! after passing through many. old) towns which were built several! centuries back. Cordoba is a favorite stopping place for foreigners visiting Spain. It has been very important in Span- ish history and reached its great- est renown during the Arab dom- ination, when it was a Caliphate during the most splendid period of| jthat rule, In the Jewish quarter) |which has the charm of the past! we saw] a well preserved Arab gateway which existed in the walls which’ surrounded the City giving access) to this quarter. We also visited| the synagogue, the remains of an; ancient Hebrew Church of great historical interest, Mosque of Cordoba Cordoba is, better known on ac-) jcount of its ancient Mosque, now; a Cathedral, which was built in the year 785. When the city was con-| |quered by King Ferdinand in 1236, he consecrated the Mosque as the Cathedral and from then on, it was) Judge Lopez Tells Of His Summer In Europe they visited Seville and at the pre- sent time Frayco also lives there with his family when he goes to| Seville. The gardens are beautiful and original in their layout. During the aftérnoon, we visited the beautiful park of Maria Luisa with the stands of the Bero-Ameri- can exhibition including palaces and pavilions, walks and pools with a great variety of trees and flow- ers. We,also saw many monuments and then we went to see the Church of the Virgin of Macarena, This Virgin is venerated, loved and) admired by the Sevillanos ,and es- pecially by the gypsies. We left Sevilla Friday, June 26th in the morning for Algeciras. We had lunch at Jerez, one of the most; beautiful of the Andalusian towns with its wide streets shaded by or- ange trees and psalms, its houses whose iow railings are adorned with flowers in pots and its nar- row winding lanes which still show { jtraces of the Moorish past, A large number of the Andalusian nobility live here and it has a_ typical Spanish atmosphere. The world fame of Jerez is not due to. this, it is due to its wines. We visited the Gonzales Byass winery where we were shown. throughout the plant.

From the Mosque, we went to see a Roman bridge over the Gua- jdalquevir River. In different parts many old buildings. Cordoba had many fascinating corners which -|are very interesting to see and nar- \tow streets which are very pic- turesque. After lunch, we left for Seville, arriving there late in the jafternoon.

The night be- fore at Algeciros, I had met an officer who was stationed in Key West during the war and who liv- ‘ed near my home. He invited us’ jto visit him on his ship which was an oil tanker refueling some of the jAmerican ships in the harbor. |Wheh we arrived at the Navy base, we found that the ship was just pulling out of the dock and was to anchor in the bay. |.

Through The Mountains We left Malaga right after lunch and travelled to Granada atong many mountains, As a matter of| fact, at one of the places the al- titude is 3500 feet where we get a magnificent view looking towards the Mediterraneap, We also pass- ed the village of Santa Fe through) a handsome gateway where we found ourselves in what used to be the royal encampment of Ferdi- inand and Isabel during the seige of Granada. Here Christopher Col- umbus came to tell the King and Queen of his plans for discovering a shorter route to the Indies which led to the discovery of America. We arrived at Granada late that afternoon. On Monday morning we started on a tour. of the famous Alhambra. The portico is a huge Arabian archway with a handcarv- ing above it symbolizing the doc- trine of Mahomet. Having crossed the barbican (a low stone wall) we went along a narrow lane to an esplanade where stands the Place of Charles V. Despite its sumptuousness and architettural merit, this palace is rather.an anachronism in these surroundings, We went through a severely simple gateway entering the Moorish Palace by the way of the Patio de la Alberca. This Pa- tio has a marbled tile floor and in the center a pool hedged with ros- es, Entering through the front wing one reaches the famous Court of the Lions. The fountain in the cen- ter shows that non-Moorish artists helped in its construction, since the Arabs never ysed statuary. Architecture The architecture is elegant and distinguished and the peristicles and arcades of stone filligree sup- ported by slender white marble columns are admirable. We then visited some of the halls which |were very interesting. We also saw, a Moorish archway which marks the entrance to the Hall of the Ambassadors which still has vesti- ges of its old magnificence Archi- itect. It is formed by two patios put together and converted into rooms for the gardeners who used) to look after this: ancient royal re-| sidence. The fifst patio is reached) by a horseshoe archway and is joined to the second by a gallery of five arches. In front, it has a) flight of steps and an artistic nam-} jed doorway, The cloister of the; \Generelife resembles that of the) ;Alhambra.

Signature of the writer letters and will be published uniess requested : A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MR. L, P. ARTMAN, Sr. Editor, The Citizen . Tribute is paid to the loving memory and high esteem in which Mr. L. P. Artman, Sr., will always be held by the many residents of our:community. The words, “To know him was to love him” may not frequently be expressed about men who by their pro- fession or trade constantly-serve a demanding public. However, I find myself saying this about the late Mr. Artman. There never was an occasion ‘that T called at the Key West Citizen for,a fraternal or philanthropic purpose that the Editor Mr. L. P. Artman did not grant the approval sought. It was an inspiration to talk with him because like the late Will Rogers, one’s contact with Mr. Artman enriched that person’s life because of the various lessons of life which he would re-count for you. This tribute, I know, is shared with me by many. Twd wonderful examples of the esteem in which’ Mr. Artman was endeared by his public were brought to light when at his funeral, not one, but two outstanding women leaders came to me after Mr. Artman’s funeral and both said (Almost to the letter but at different times), “I have been very ill with a virus but I simply had to get out of bed to attend Mr. Artman’s funeral. Mr. Artman was always cooperative when I visited The Key West Citizen in search of publicity for our organization, and\I had to pay the tribute to him which he so richly deserved and he earned on earth.” May these thoughts which we share help lighten the anguish of his family over the loss of one who has before us “to prepare a home for us”, In sympathy, WILHELMINA G, HARVEY Mindszenty Aide Resumes Duties thas gb Hungary p josef Cardinal Flu Increases [fs tormer private resumed church offices JACKSONVILLE #— Influenza} ing a 4-year apparently is on an increase in} The Florida this winter, the State/Ondras Zakar, Board of Health said Wednesday. |list of The board gets an index gf the prevalence of the disease from cases reported although these are only a small number of the total cases, explained Dr, L, L.
