Page 12 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Senate Banking Committee To Work On New Housing Program WASHINGTON (#—The Banking Committee sets out today to put President Eisenhower's houging program into legislative shape, but there are indications it would concentrate on “scandal” loopholes in the present lew. Sen. Capehart (R-Ind), the com- mittee chairman, said in an inter. view the big problem facing the group was to write a bill that would eliminate i Prevent the coopera- like that apartment house builders Capehart expressed general satisfaction with Mason’s recom- “mendations. bent on shoring up existing laws, Capehart said the committee might Spectacular ~=ine| Genghis Khan Is Film Hero Somehow or other when we think of great conquerors the names of |» loop- | Alexander The Great, Julius Cae- sar and Napoleon come to mind. Occasionally, though not too often the name of Genghis Khan comes to mind — yet undoubtedly he was :|the greatest conqueror of all time. Never knowing defeat, his armies swept across half the globe —from China to Eastern Europe. The only | ; thing that stopped him and his wild hordes from sweeping across Eu- rope and into England — was the great Khan’s death. The majesty, drama and romance of this strange tuler of several centuries ago is told in a new film, “Genghis Khan” starring Manuel Conde in the title role, which will open May 18 at the Monroe Theatre, through United Artists release. In 1206, Temujin (his real name) unified the Mongol tribes and got them to recognize him as their chief. He was to be called Genghis Khan — the all-enveloping king. ‘First of all he attacked eastward. He broke through the Great Wall and wrenched Northern China from .the Manchus. Peking capitulated. Then he moved westward, spread- ing terror and desolation wherever he went. He took Turkestan, burn- .ed Bokhara and Samarkand, over- tran Afghanistan and Persia. Sweep- ing on the shores of the Caspian, he thrust into Russia and Crimea, reaching as far into Europe as the Khan didn’t defeat small bands of poorly-equipped warriors — but wiped out vast armies of well- trained archers and horsemen. The clash of these vast armies, the burning, pillaging and desola- tion, are shown in their full drama- go along with these two adminis- tic impact in “Genghis Kahn.’ Al- Lei Hai, played by the lovely El- re A new program caling for| Vita Reyes.

The French high command an- nounced the renewal of air strikes after rebel failure to accept a six- point French plan for evacuating Dien Bien Phu’s wounded, includ- ing an offer to take care of ser- iously wounded Vietminh troops. The French had told the Viet- minh air attacks would be re- sumed unless their proposal was accepted by midnight last night. Prime target of the air strike was the strategic 70-mile highway between Dien. Bien Phu and Son La. The French had stopped bomb- ing this highway last Friday after the rebels had agreed to permit evacuation of 753 of the 1,300 to 2,000 French Union wounded couse at Dien Bien Phu when it fell.

When the French found they could move only 11 wounded in two days by helicopter and small planes, and Giap refused to permit repair of the airstrip to let bigger planes land, the high command said it was no longer bound’ to hold off its air strikes. It said that such an airlift‘ would take at least a month and by then Giap could move out all his men and materiel, Late last night the French com- mander in chief, Gen. Henri Na- varre, -broadcast an offer to sup- ply engineers and heavy equip- ment for putting the shell and trench-pocked Dien Bien Phu run- way back into shape on condition that both men and materiel be returned after the .operation. He asked that once the mercy flights were resumed, no ceiling be placed on the number of planes allowed to land and take off. WITH 2252 the Carleton PULL SIZE—252 sq. in. PICTURE SCREEN.
