He put it another way: “We haven't crawled into bed and there have been no deals between us.” But, said Odham, he and Col- lins are seeking the same thing out of government and their basic concepts of how the state should be run are the same, Odham said “I could never in good conscience vote for the now acting governor . . . The crowd that is supporting him is the crowd that’s been the most selfish for years,” At another point Odham said “I’m almost sick at my stomach at the deals the acting governor is making.” Collins’ first words after Odham introduced him were: “I thank Brailey Odham from the bottom of my heart.” ‘ |Armed Forces Day Baseball Game Scheduled Here The Cuban Club ‘and the Naval Air Station nines have been match- ed in the annual Armed Forces Day baseball game to-be played at Walker Field Friday at 7:30 p. m. ‘The-Cubans and the Flyers are currently the leaders in the Island City Baseball League.

Carlton introduced Odham to the rally. Former U.S. District Atty. Her- bert S. Phillips also spoke. Collins said Johns has been say- ing he didn’t know what was meant that charges of machine politics had been made against him. The Tallahassee senator said the first example of machine politics was Johns’ firing of 16 McCarty appointees without a hearing. He added that Johns has said he is for the little man, but “some of his little supporters are driving around the state in awfully big Cadillacs.” Collins referred to what he called , Favor MIAMI For the Cubans: Roberts, .571; Catala, 500; D.

Recently a 1954 Plymouth and current models of the other two best-known low-price cars were taken apart by Plymouth engineers and compared, part by part. Standard “stock” models were used. We've listed some typical findings below. Plymouth is “best buy” in many ways. Here are just a few! Front Wheel Brakes Plymouth engineers provide two hydraulic brake cylinders in each front wheel to ensure smooth stops without “grab. bing,” The other two low-price cars have oniy one. Seat Springs Plymouth uses coil seat springs, for longer lasting support. The “other two” have a zigzag platform type. Also, Plym- outh’s “springs-on-springs” design adds more comfort; Plymouth has four rings on each piston; the “other two" have three. Result: decreased carbon deposit, more con- sistent power output. Increased oil economy, too! Micronic Oil Filter Standard on most Plymouth models. Keeps abrasive dirt ‘out of the engine, reducing wear and achieving greater oil economy. Extra cost on the. other two low-price cars, And dozens of other part-by-part comparisons prove Plymouth is your “best buy"! See us ‘today... and get the facts!

WICKERS FIELD (Continued from Page One) ever, the city commission Monday night instructed city manager Vic- tor Lang to confer with him to work out 4 solution. But today, Acevedo indicated that he is no longer .interested in the concession rights. Reply To Statements His statement: “In reply to the article in The Key West Citizen of Monday 10 May, 1954 concerning the conces- sion etc. at Wickers Stadium, I would like to clarify the statement printed in said paper. “The letter that Mr. Lang stated he sent to me by personal mes- senger was found Monday morning, 10 May, on my front porch.|Why wasn’t this letter delivered to me| in b' Personally, as it was dated Friday 8 May, 1954? I contacted three of the five members of the Stadidm Committee, and they denied any knowledge that the recommenda- tions in said letter were for me, but were for the City, and who of the committee directed Mr, Lang to submit these recommendations to me? “I wish to challenge the state- ment of the person who stated that the telephone at the Stadium was locked up and couldn't be used when one of the players was in- jured. I personally left my con- cession stand to call an ambulance, but one of the other players said they would take him to the hospital in a car. Says Beoth Was Open “although I have nothing to do with the telephone booth, it defin- itely was open at the time this player was injured, which is con- tradictory to the statement in the Paper. “As far as the City Baseball League is concerned, there are more players on the field than peo- ple in the stands, and after the 5th inning the stands are almost bare. Why should we burn electric- ity (at the expense of the City) and stay open until 11 a. m. just to sell mgybe two or three more sodas? There have also been times when I have filled my boxes and packed them with ice, then had to cancel the game becatse there were not enough players for the game. Does the Stadium Commit- tee, who suggested that I stay open, know that? “I have had the concession at Wickers Stadium since 1946, and I had no disagreement with any- one until 1951 when I renewed my contract. Since then some person or persons has jealously or malic- iously tried to cause unjustifiable disagreement between the City and myself, : Wants No Treuble “I don’t consider the time and effort in operating the concession worthy enough to accept the slan- derous rémarks made to me and my family, which in the future. would cause something serious to happen, and don’t think a physical- ly powerful or important person will cause me to back down to their remarks. I wish trouble from no one, but you can see that if I kept the concession I would not be able to stand by and have my family slandered without taking some action. “From the above statements you can see the injustice that has been done to me and in order te avoid More serious complications which are foreseen, I find it impossible under the circumstances to con- tinue the operation of the conces- sion at Wickers Stadium. “I would like at this time to ex- Press my appreciation to the City Commissioners for the fine cooper- ation and support that I have been rendered while operating the con- cession, and if at any time in the future I can be of assistance to them, please do not hesitate to call upon me. “Respectfully. “ARMANDO M.

Simpson has denied the grass seed sale was improper. He said the Simpson Nursery Co. sold the seed to the brokers who in turn Sold it to the road department on competitive bids.

Lecuona songs Performance of three traditional Cuban folk tunes composed bP Lecuona, In these numbers, Danza Negra, Danza de los Nanigos and Danza Lucumi, the composer has woven Afro-Cuban rhythms and melodies into truly beautiful mus- ical works. Lecuona, who admits to admir- ation for such modernists as Aaron Copeland and MacDowell, was at his best in these numbers. The influence of Gershwih, a y | Paris friend of Lecuona during the they | 1920’s, was also evidenced in the Program.
