ST, LOUIS » — When Charles Machacek died last month he left; his $144,836 estate as ‘‘a memorial fund to perpetuate the name of my family.” He had no close rela- tives. His will, read in Probate Court) yesterday, gave the estate to the St. Louis Public Library—if it will build a branch to be known as the Machacek Library. If not, the administrator is to pick a St. Louis area orphanage which would be willing to erect a building bearing the Machacek name. @1 Duval St." STOCK MARKET Almost all major divisions of the Higher stocks included Republic Studebaker, Douglas Air-|. te bonds were unchanged The Memorial Fund studios, 10,000 MILE Guaranty on USED CARS B | years.” NAVARRO, Inc.

Harris then went on to say that 50 per cent on the keys, that bus- iness was off 50 per cent in Mi- mi Beach and that he didn’t curtailed air ice. Marmorstein took the floor again. “We have 146 rooms to sell,” he began. “If we had the same air) service as we had last year, we’ would be 95 per cent full. Our res- ervations show it. On January 1 we! had 236 people in the hotel, many’ of them with children. The hotel was almost full. “The children,” he continued, “had to be back in school from January 5 to January 7. 1 “When news of the flight con- cellation came, we had to send those people to Miami by car. We lost over 200 people in a few days.” Marmorstein then went on to say |that business at all hoteis in Miami Beach was not off. “Some of them are just as full as they were this time last year. Some are getting $42 a day for a single. “Business in Key West is not off 50 per cent. Mine is,” Marmor- stein said. Speaking of getting people to Miami, Marmorstein said he had even hired a captain's wife — paid her $50 — to hau! people to Miami. Another car, he said, | which was taking people to Mia- mi International Airport was ar- rested at the field. Miami permits only one taxi line to operate at the field.
