But the senator PAWN SHOP 711 Duval Street 1116 EATON STREET Solid 1-Piece Oak Stem F & Stringers of Alaskan Yellow Cedar — Guaranteed Against Breakage FOR MOTORS OF ™ TO said again he thought Eisenhower was acting on bad advice. McCarthy also said if the hear- ings continue next week he would like to have subpoenaed for tes- timony five newsmen — Homer Bigart, New York Herald Tribune; columnist Joseph Alsop; Phil Pot- ter, Baltimore Sun, and Murrey Marder and Al Friendly, both of has given me ail the backing that I could have asked.” He said the Schine as a “hostage” in efforts to sidetrack an investigation of Communists in the military. Sen. Mundt (R-SD), who has re- placed McCarthy as chairman while the subcommittee conducts its public probe of the dispute, de- livered what sounded like an in- direct endorsement of McCarthy’s attack.on Red China trade, in a New York speech last night. Mundt said “any diplomatic move or selfish, self-serving finan- cial transactions by anybody any- where which weakens freedom by fortifying the forces of Russian communism is a blow at the safe- ty, the security and the survival of decent human beings living any- where.” Addressing a meeting of the All- American Conference to Combat Communism, Mundt said that a PEs ey ese ny end what the answers show” in the weUariuy - Wwevens cuntio- versy “congressional investigating committees are here to stay.” The South Dakotan also gave some indirect support for McCar- ge thy’s claim that the hearings are keeping him from trying to track the Army-| down subversives in defense plants. Mundt cited what he called the urgent need for “new legislation protecting our defense plants -from the wide-spread Communist infil- tration and espionage now known to be occurring there.” However Mundt said he has formed no judgment on the out- come of the hearings over which he is presiding. Sen. Gillette (D-Iowa) told the Senate yesterday he believes “the glare and blare of publicity that has attended the recent hearings had brought a distinct loss of dig- nity to our nation at home and abroad and will further debase the high quality of American world leadership.” He said the subcommittee under McCarthy had violated the rights ., of citizens under the Fifth Amend- ment and the Senate should act to control the group. Meanwhile a separate row bub- bled up between Democrats and Republicans on the subcommittee over telephone calls concerning the McCarthy-Army dispute which were secretly monitored at the Pentagon. Some of the calls ap- parently were between Army offi- cials and members of. the sub- committee. : Both the Republicans and Dem- KEY WEST OUTBOARD —Presents— The New GO DEVIL BOAT BUILT AT BIG COPPITT KEY Prices From $189.00 Financing Can Be Arranged HURRICANE “14” — A Smartly Styled Outboard Runabout Now Available At Moderate Prices...

Wilson ar- rived here today on a Far East tour and said the United States should not fight for Asian peoples unless they ask for help. “The biggest problem confront- ing us is to determine whether we are fighting a national movement or Communist aggression,” Wilson told newsmen. “The United States wants to be helpful in social revolutions for na- tionalism of Asians, but this is not an easy thing to do,” he added. Wilson came here from Formosa and said Nationalist Ohina has “considerable military strength for its size.” . The defense secretary character- ized_ recent sea and air clashes between Nationalist and Commu- nist forces as border skirmishes. EE SPECIAL DAV MEET CALLED FOR SUNDAY A special 12th district Dis- abled American Veterans meet- ing has been called for 2:00 Pp. m. Sunday afternoon, May 23. The meeting will be held at 422 Amelia Street. Commander E. C. Norcisa, DAV Chapter No. 33,urges all DAV members to attend, NO INJURIES IN (Continued from Page One) said skid marks of Garcia’s car ran about six feet. Both drivers were charged with reckless driving and causing an accident. ocrats insisted they want tran- scriptions of any such pertinent recorded talks placed in evidence in the hearings, but they disagreed on the method for doing this. The Army insists it cannot legally hand over the transcriptions without the written consent of parties whose calls were monitored. Mundt told a news conference he feared the Demoerats had “made it much more likely” that the transcripts would not be sur- rendered to the subcommittee by the Army. Sen. Symington (D-Mo), in: behalf of the three Democratic members, said Mundt’s contention “doesn’t make sense.” At issue in the new row were letters Democrats Symington, Mc- Clellan (Ark) and Jackson (Wash) had written to Mundt declaring that they “do not consent to any limited, restricted or partial dis- closure of these calls, or to any suppression of them, or any part of them that is relevant or ma- terial to the issues, from the mem- bers of the subcommittee or the public.” The four. Republican members have signed a different form let- ter, consenting to the study of transcripts of monitored calls by counsel for the subcommittee, for the Army and for McCarthy. i Jackson said yesterday the Dem- ocrats rejected that plan as some- thing that could become “‘a fishing expedition” unless qualified by the language they had used to assure a public airing. a Mundt said he will send today to Joseph N. Welch, special coun- sel to the Army, copies of the Democrats’ letters, and letters from the four Republican mem- bers concerning the monitored calls. . “T’ll ask him, ‘ean you construe these so you can give us the transcriptions’,” Mundt said, but added that he believes Welch’s an- swer will be “‘no” unless the Dem- ocrats agree to change the lan- guage in their letters. Jackson said he wants to “com- ply with very reasonable request the Army makes” concerning the release of transcripts in a legal manner, and that he now wants to hear whether Welch is satisfied with the Democrats’ letters.

Is Ready ‘ ¢ To Strike Now WASHINGTON ( — The boss of America’s long - range bombing force says his planes and crews are set to strike at targets any- where in the world, Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, chief of the Air Force’s Strategic Air Com- mand, said yesterday .“‘the readi- ness of our strategic bombers to strike back on a global scale is a considerable factor... in dis- couraging the spread of a limited war,” é Gen. LeMay told the Armed Forces Chemical Assn. that his bombers can take off in any kind of weather, “fly direct to within a few hundred feet above any des- ignated point on the globe,” and “hit their target when they get there.” The administration’s military policy is based on the concept of “massive retaliatory power” as a deterrent to Soviet aggression. Le- May said his command has been assigned the mission of “swift and certain retaliation” against an ag- gressor. Should all-out war come again, LeMay said the strategic bombers would have the job of striking at enemy air bases and atomic in- stallations, ‘destroying his strik- ing’ power at its source,” of sys- tematically wrecking the foe’ in- dustrial capacity, and of trying to hold back the advance of enemy ground forces. Federal Civil Defense Chief Val Peterson dealt in a ‘speech with the other side of the coin — the Problem of home front. measures against possible atomic attack. Peterson said military men have estimated 22 million Americans might be killed or wounded by an all-out Russian atomie, chemical and germ weapon assault. He said that from 40 to 100 of America’s major cities could be struck at the outset of such an attack. Peterson said the American People can “dig, die or get out of their cities,” if such an attack should come and he urged the trial evacuation of some city like Indi- anapolis, Ind., or Columbus, Ohio, COMMITTEE TO: STUDY (Continued from Page One) believed that the present parking meters could be moved from,Du- val Street to neighboring streets, thereby not diminishing the city’s revenue from these meters. Recommendation Made As to the second point in the program, it is the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce that the city acquire” that property — now vacant — at the corner . of Angela and Simonton Streets. This lot can be used for public meter parking. An estimated 200 cars can be accommodated in that space alone. When questioned about the third point in the plan, Bennett said it provided for the utilization of Property already owned by the city and currently serving no use- ful purpose. Fr The suggestion is that the city use the land at the. old Clyde- Mallory Docks for all-day parking for employees in that district. Although a portion of this land is already being used. in the op- eration of the shrimp business and also for the cars of the fishermen using the public docks, Bennett ex- plained that there is still unused space that can park an estimated 150 cars with the same meter ar- rangement as the uptown lot. The meters can be set for all day park- ing for employees rather than hourly parking for shoppers. It is believed, he said, that the cost per car can be comparatively low — at a level with, and pos- sibly even under that of other cities. Low Cost Possible Bennett added that no matter : : is adopted, no less space would be required, and the space used would have to be in those areas where the problems exist. The cost of the land would be about the same in any plan. However, under this Chamber of Commerce recommendation, about half of the necessary land is already owned by the city, while the use of meters would eliminate the expense of a round- the-clock attendant, and bring the city added revenue from the meters. Just A Plan . . Bennett stressed the fact that this plan has not been adopted— that it is merely the plan recom- mended by the Chamber of Com- merce. It will be submitted to the City Commissioners for approval, and any action taken will,have to be taken by them. ‘ However, as the traffic and parking situation in Key West grows daily more aeute, it be- comes increasingly important that this problem be - solved as quickly &nd economieally as pos- sible—before the population again swells with an influx of next sea- son’s winter visitors. The Chamber of ; Commerce heartily endorses this. plan, and in submitting it to the City Com- missioners will urgently recom- mend that it be given immediate attention.

She had been crowned queen to represent the spirit and friendship of the Pan American union in connection with the festivities. \ Reception Held The finale of the official cere- monies was held following the pa- rade in a form of a reception in the San Carlos Institute Building. During the reception an award was ited to Eugene Martinez, a local druggiest, for meritorious serive to San Carlos Institute. Julio Cabanas presented a Cu- ban flag to be taken to President Batista. General Juan Rojas y Gonzales, the personel representa- tive of Batista, declined the offer on behalf of Batista by saying, “The President of Cuba would ra- ther have the San Carlos institute keep the flag. However I will re- lay the expression of good will and friendship to the President as pre- sented by the flag offering. Cuban flag was first bought to Key West in 1937 by Batista. Flag Te San Carles Dr. Francisco Diminech and Gen. Giespert presented a Cuban flag to the San Carlos Institute on be- half of the Cuban educators visit- ing Key West for Fiesta Alegre y Benefica. The flag had been placed on the grave of Jose Mari in Cuba previously. The flag’ was inclosed in a glass box. A painting of Jose Marti as a boy was presented to the local Cuban American Institute by Commander R. Sopo Barreto. In presenting the painting Sopo said, “There are many paintings of Jose Marti as a man but there are few as a boy.” Sopo was the principal speaker at the reception. He expressed high praise to Julio Cabanas, president of the San Car- los Institure. He said Cabanas was a key figure in cementing interna- tional relations in the Pan Ameri- can Union between Cuba and the United States. Speech Applauded Sopo’s lengthy speech was filled with emotion and gestures and was received with, thunderous applause and cheers. One spectator to the ceremonies said, ‘‘Sopo speaks from the heart, I could listen to him for hours.” Cabanas, in accepting the pre- sentation made to the San Carlos Institute, said that they be kept as the memory of Jose Marti “for ever.” Cabanas then choked up and could not talk for a mo- ment. The reception was followed by a street dance in front of the Ins- titute. An estimated crowd of 2,- 000 Key Westers were on hand to dance and listen to the Latin dance numbers as played by the Cuban National Band. The dance. lasted until after one o’clock this morn- ing. Successful Dance It was considered to have had public response comparable to Duval Street dances of yester- year and will aid in making. the event of Fiesta Alegra y Benefica a continuing Key West celebration. The official Cuban. party went to a semi-formal dance at the Casa Marina following the reception. The dance ended the festivities. An informal luncheon had been given by the City at Benny’s Ca- feteria in the afternoon. City com- missioner Louis‘ Carbonell repre- sented the City for the luncheon. Ledr. Rice represented Command- er Naval Base and Commander Gordon represented Captain Trues- dell for the affair. English-speaking toastmaster. Robert Dopp, past pre- sident of the JayCees, expressed gratitude of Key West for the visit and festivities. Harold. Laubscher, secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce represented his organiza- tion. Cuban council Oscar Morales took the lead in translations and introductions, The luncheon was highlighted by a speech in Spanish given by Com- mander Gordon. He expressed hope for the continuing friendship. be- tween Cuba and United States. The luncheon consisted of pink gold jumbo shrimp of Key West.

The lost out- post of Anxa had held out nearly three weeks. The surrounded outposts of Yen Phy and Coquan are on the fringes of the strategic rice bowl delta where Communist activity has been stepped up since the fall of Dien Bien Phu. The French command said the mobile columns inflicted “‘extreme- ly heavy losses” on the Vietminh. French casualties were “appreci- able,” they added. The French are parachuting food and munitions to the belea- guered outposts. US.

TS KEEP THIS Max of Action OUR GOVERNOR No Matter What They Tell You A state tax commission WILL threaten your Homestead Exemption!! CHARLEY JOHNS is opposed to a State Tax Commission. His opponent FAVORS a State Tax Commission. No matter how CHARLEY JOHNS’ op- ponent and his supporters try to explain it away, a State Tax Commission WILL EN- * DANGER your Homestead Exemption. Just ask your local City or County Tax Assessor and see what he says. A State Tax Commission will center more power in Tallahassee ... take’ away authority from local government. Such a commission could immediately or in the future raise your homestead assessment to the point where your Homestead Exemp- tion benefits would be wiped out. That's ONE GREAT BIG REASON for supporting and voting for CHARLEY JOHNS for GOVERNOR. - Home Folks Big Vote Tells Important Story What the home folks think about « can- didate tells a lot. CHARLEY JOHNS re- ceived 91.73% of all votes cast in his home Senatorial District. His opponent received less than 50% of the votes cast in his Sena- torial District. ‘ Still Another Reason ROADS — CHARLEY JOHNS’ Action Road Board has inaugurated the greatest road-and-bridge building program in Flori- da’s history. More than $100,000,000 will be spent on Florida's road-building during 1954, The money to pay for this great pro- gram is available. The work WILL BE DONE.
