THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Hialeah Trucker Is Charged In Traffic Deaths MIAMI (®—A Hialeah truck driv- @r was charged with manslaughter today in the death of two sisters! from the midwest who were killed when the truck rammed their au- tomobile on the Tamiami Trail. Dead were Mrs. Mabel Walters, 68; Monmouth, Ill., and Mrs. Ber. tha Bush, 61, Clear Lake, Iowa. Peace Justice Edwin Lee Mason set bond at $1,000 for Don Hovey, 24, driver of the Railey-Milam Co., truck involved in the accident. Eugene Bush, husband of Bertha, was driving the light sedan owned by Fred Walters, Mabel’s husband, when the crash occurred, Sgt. F. G. Burghart of the State Highway Patrol reported. The men were riding in the front seat. Burghart said Bush slowed his car when it came up close behind another one and Hovey’s truck crashed into the rear of the Bush automobile. The husbands escaped with mi- for bruises. Mason said both wom- en died of broken necks and intern- al injuries.

The lawyer, David Marcus, said the probe will be asked on the ground that Haymes was “‘virtually trapped” into violating immigra- tion laws. Haymes went to Honolulu last June to visit actress Rita Hayworth, now his wife. The deportation order, issued Tuesday, was based on a charge that Haymes re- entered the United States illegally. He is a native of Argentina. Marcus said he is foywarding to the Senate Judiciary Committee deposition by Richard B.

Cody said Haymes wished to go to Court-Martial Board To Decide In Bribe Case TAMPA (P—The case of Cmdr. \Paul J. Allman, charged with so- liciting bribes, is to go to a Coast |Guard court-martial board today for a verdict. | The defense closed its case yes- |terday with arguments that the |two complaining witnesses were jacting from a desire for revenge. Elmer Quick of Dunedin, a sec- jond mate in the Merchant Marine, testified that Allman offered for $250 to see that he passed tests for a chief mate’s license. Guy Risley, a Tampa Bay pilot, charged that for the same amount Allman said he could fix a pro- posed hearing on the grounding of ; 4 vessel piloted by Risley. Defense attorneys said that these charges were not brought until long after the alleged bribe solicitation. | They said Risley did not report |the matter until after Allman had preferred charges against the pilot | | because of the collision of two vessels.

Friday, March 26, 1954 TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK (®—The stock mar- ket snapped off a three-day de- cline today with a brisk advance in early trading. Most gains were small, but a few individual issues pushed out vigorously for gains of between 1 and 3 points. Losses were small. Boeing was extremely active at a new high for the year, up be- tween 2 and 3 points at times. The company reported earnings last year equal to $12.15 a share as compared with $8.67 the previous | year. Kennecott and Anaconda Copper were ahead around a point and ac- tive. The United States has agreed to start stockpiling Chilean copper at 30 cents a point. Higher major divisions included steels, aircrafts, mining, chemi- | cals, and oils. Ahead were Bethlehem Steel, Goodyear, United Aircraft, Ameri- can Telephone, American Smelting, Dome Mines, Du Pont, Westing- house Electric, General Dynamics, Southern Pacific and Sinclair Oil.
