Registers At Beach Hotel Durham, the sheriff's depart- ment said, registered at the swan- ky Casablanca Hotel in Miami Beach. He called on a Miami Beach lawyer, Milton Rubin, of No, 1 Lincoln Road, the sheriff's depart- ment added. He told Rubin that the Monroe County sheriff's department had illegally impounded his car and that he wanted Rubin’s aid in get- ting the car. “He doesn’t even own a car,” a deputy here said, Two Stories Told The sheriff's department said it had gotten two stories concerning Durham’s dealings with Rubin, 1, That he clipped Rubin for $800 and Rubin's car. 2, That he clipped Rubin for $50 and Rubin’s car. That, said the sheriff's depart- ment, is where the grand larceny charge in Dade County could ap- | Ply. The department here also said that Durham had served two years in the state penetentiary for auto theft.

Attention to the mining section was accompanied by plans for gov- ernment stockpiling and higher prices for lead and zinc. The key railroad division was unchanged to lower as were the rubbers, airlines, motion pictures, ard distillers, Aircrafts were higher while other divisions were steady to mixed. Among better active issues were Boeing, Douglas Aircraft, Phelps Dodge, Kennecott Copper, Home- stake Mining, Standard Oil (NJ), Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Gen- eral Motors and American Woolen. Lower were Packard, Sears Roe- buck,*Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and 20th Century-Fox. SABOTAGE IS _ (Continued from Page One) in perfect calm, because we knew rescue ships were at hand. We could see: them steaming toward us.” Two doctors aboard the troop- ship estimated that some 20 of the survivors received minor injuries or had to be treated for the effects of smoke or water. Many of the soldiers came ashore draped only in towels from the rescue ships, Calm Sea Aided The rescue was made possible by an extraordinarily calm sea. Men swam directly from the burn- ing ship to rescue ships nearby. When an Italian ship tossed lines to swimming passengers, an Ital- jan crewman aid he heard the swimmers say “after you, George” and the reply, “oh, no, after you, Cecil.” The captain of the Norwegian freighter Hemsefvell said that in all his life at sea he had never seen such calm and “everything went off as though the passengers pac ae through only a lifeboat Passengers who had taken to the water, eyewitnesses said, acted like bathers on a seaside holiday, laughing and joking and amusing the children.

SAUK CITY, Wis ‘®—The “Joe Must Go” Club, spearheaded by | eight editors and writers from Wis- consin weekly newspaper today be- gan the task of getting out about one out of every five of the state’s eligible voters to sign petitions aimed at the recall of Sen. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis). Senatorial Candidate (Continued from Page One) state, is neglecting the little fellow in his legislative activities. “I want to see that there is no conflict between the interests of the clients of your State Senator and of the people he is supposed to represent — I don’t see how a man can receive tremendous legal fees from the large corporations and not give them fuller considera- tion in the legislature, to the de- triment of the people who elected him,” Gresham said. Gresham, a graduate of Har- vard College and the University of Florida law school, also said to- day that he is of the. opinion that Monroe County should have a State Senator to represent it, and pledg- ed himself to work to that end. In commenting on the controver- sial question of alleged lack of Monroe County representation in the Senate, Gresham said that “I will give Monroe County represen- tation equal to that I would give to the other three counties in the | district. I will show no partiality to the mainland and would spend a great amount of time in Monroe County working with the people here and ascertaining your pro- blems.” Gresham said further that a one year stint as a research assistant of the Florida Supreme Court has given him “ a good understanding of the technical and practical pro- blems of legislation.” A combat infantryman in Eu- rope in World War II, Gresham is an active member of the American Legion.
