Legionitems By JUDSON step: tnd VICE COMMANDER Arthur Sawyer Post, American Legion Report of 1954 arti F he ‘ mention: ment of Flo- Wel onnaires Gamble, Van Reber, Kranich, Piodella, Metzger, Stirrup and Daniels have returned as 2 yptreebeet Florida, after avi ie 1954 art- ment Convntion. : ais Some of the highlights of the Con- vention were the speeches made by * Dean Manion, Senator George Smathers and National American Legion Commander Arthur J. Con- nell. Other of the events that took Place during this convention was the magnificent drum and bugle corps competition, the Color Guard competition and the annual parade. It was reported that the Harvey Seeds Post 29, Drum and Bugle Corps defeated the Coral Gables Post 98 Drum and Bugle Corps by a score of 93 to 83 for the Depart- ment Championship. Coral Gables has held the state title for the past three years. Harvey Seeds has in the past held the National title twice. The Winter Haven Color Guard again took top honors in the guard division. Two Drum Corps which were not in competition that played for the vast audience were the Orlando Corps and the Dania Boys Corps. Both are excellent corps even though they have only been in ex- istence for one year and eight months respectively. . On the election scene, Joe C. Jenkins was elected unanimously to serve the 1954-55 term as De- partment of Florida Commander. Lawrence Hoffman from Miami Beach, Florida was elected as the Department Historian, a position which was only created this year. Another of Key West’s friends, Bil- ly Anderson was elected to serve as the Department Vice Command- er, Southern Area.’ Sarasota was selected as the site of the next Department Convention for sometime in 1955. Miami will play host in 1955 to the National Convention. Kk * Installation of New Officers: The newly elected officers of the Post will be installed by 10th Dis- trict Commander Victor Wilde of Hialeah, Florida on June 19. This will take place at the Post Home with appropriate ceremonies. The Key West Guard of Honor will as- sist District Commander Wilde in this installation. The newly elected officers of Ma- rathon Post 154 will also be in- stalled by 10th District Command- er Wilde on June 18 in Marathon. The Key West Guard of Honor will also assist in this installation. Remember to put the date of Saturday, June 19, in your appoint- ment book so that you won’t for- get to attend this installation.

SUPREME COURT (Continued from Page One) Supreme Court has again passed on the questions involved.” The suit was brought in 1949 by the Negroes who sought the right to study in graduate schools of law, pharmacy, engineering and agriculture. There were no such schools at Florida A. and M. College for Negroes then but the institution since has attained university stat- us and offers graduate courses in those fields. The Florida Supreme Court held in 1950 that the Negroes could at- tend the University of Florida but would be regarded as enrollees of A. and M, temporarily studying at the University of Florida. : The Negroes did not do this, nor did they enroll at A. and M. when the courses became avail- able there. Rinehart said it was his opinion that the 1949 suit was “an agitated test case without any bona fide desire to go to the institutions and | the applicants never offered. any qualifications to the institution for admission.” As an individual and not as a member of the Board of Control, Rinehart said he feels “it is in- incumbent on the leadership of this state” to recognize the U. S. Supreme Court ruling outlawing public school segregation and be- gin to integrate the programs of, the state institutions of higher learning. Tuesday, May. 25, 1954 Big Turnout For Midget Baseball League Monday: “Tremendous and most gratify- ing,” was the answer given by Paul G. Albury, City Recreation Director, this morning when asked about registration for the Midget Baseball League, held at Bayview Park yesterday afternoon. Albury continued, “I was hoping for and expecting a good turn out but it exceeded my expectations. We had 186 boys sign up to play. I will be hard pushed to take care of that many, but I am determined that no boy who wants to play baseball this summer, will be de- prived of the privilege. the good Lord willing.” It is hoped to have all boys as- signed to respective teams by the week end and to get league play- ing under way the first part of next week, AGREEMENT IS MADE (Continued from Page One) commissioners then. “We won’t be there then,” he said. Commissioner Paul (Blondie) Roberts queried, “‘You mean we won’t still be commissioners then?’ Income Limit Suggested Mayor Harvey suggested that an income limit be put on residents of the housing units similar to other housing units in the city. The agreement states that the preferentaial list of people to be given the housing is: 1. People of good character 2. Navy families 3. Veteran’s families On the question of West Poin- ciana, Attorney Morris stated that the buildings would probably stand for another year. However his cli- ents would leave it to the discre- tion of the city commissioners. Harvey suggested that the units be closed up as they are vacated. This issue was left at this point. West Poinciaua is a set of wood- en structures with sections facing Flagler. On the questions of rents, Attor- ney Morris stated that his clients did not want to gouge anybody but it was a hard question. Utilities Question The agreement with the city does not mention whether the new ma- nagement will continue to furnish the units nor does it mention that the rents now in effect include uti- lities as is now the case. Rents in Poinciana now range from $27.50. to $49.50. Both Harvey and Delan- ey agreed that these measures should be looked into before the final signing of the contract. In the original agreement, the land being donated by the Key West Realty and Key West Im- provement Company to the city, could be only used as a public park. Roberts and Cobo did not think that the hands of commis- sioners twenty years from now should be tied to the wording of the measure. Both agreed that the city should consider long range planning. Wording Changed The wording of the agreement was changed from “To be used for public park purposes” to “To be used for municipal purposes.” Carbonell wanted it put in such a fashion that it could not be given away or sold. He said things like that have happened before. Also in the agreement to be made with the City, the city would be allowed to use the fire station as long as they desired, and the rental office in Community Build- ing would be used by the new ma- nagement. The Poinciana Com- munity building is located on the tract of land to be donated for a city park. It was brought out that a park would suit everyone out in the area including the future occupants of a new section of apartments to be built just north of the land to be donated. Park Land Evaluated ‘The commissioners roughly valu- ed the park land to be given at $23,000 based on an estimate of $1,000 per 5,000 square foot lot. The community house, which is on the park land, was considered to be worth about $25,000. In one of the lighter moments of the meeting, Attorney Morris stated that his only hope was that they put a park bench under a tree in the park so he could en- joy his visits to Key West by sit- ting in the cool breezes. Carbonell spoke up and said, “Sure we'll put up a bench. We'll | even put a sign on it saying com- pliments of Stanley Morris!” Analysis of Deal In the analysis of the deal, the city gets: 1. The use of the fire depart- ment. 2. The deed to the land for mun- icipal purposes (city park) that the Poinciana Community Building is situated on. The land is 260 feet on Duck Avenue and 475 feet north. The Key West Improvement Company and Key West Realty Company get: 1. 319 rental housing unit build- ings that are on their property to be given them by the federal gov- ernment. 2. The right to operate the hous- D. C. EDUCATION (Continued from Page One) May 17 decision was written by Chief Justice Warren, Eisenhow- er’s only appointee on the high court. The decision was unanimous. “It’s guilt by association, if you want to call it that,” the Georgia governor said, and added, “‘After all, I’m pretty much responsible for what my appointees do.” VOTING PACE IS FAST (Continued from Page One) strength in the northern section of the state, Collins in the south- The Supreme Court decision ap- |; pled primarily to grade and high schools, although the court did say the 1896 doctrine of separate but equal facilities for the races no longer has any place “in the field of public education.” That appeared broad enough to cover colleges and universities sup- ported by public funds. But the Supreme Court stopped short of definitely extending its decision to higher institutions. Reconsideration Set Rather, it yesterday instructed lower courts to reconsider, in view of “conditions that now prevail” cases involving admissions of Ne- groes to the University of Florida, Louisiana State University and a city-owned amphitheater at Louis- ville, Ky. The court gave no reason in re- fusing to review a Circuit Court decision that six Negroes must be admitted to Midwestern University of Wichita Falls, Tex., formerly Hardin Junior College. Also without explanation, the court let stand a decision that Houston, Tex., must allow Negroes to play municipal golf courses— although on a segregated basis. It turned down an appeal for segrega- tion in public low-rent housing Projects in the city and county of San Francisco, RYAN TELLS OF (Continued from Page One) thy subcommittee work when it would not interfere with his Army training.

Johns again claimed Collins favors creation of a state tax com- mission that would nullify home stead tax exemption. Collins called it a ridiculous and false charge. He promised to veto any proposal that would take away any hom stead tax exemption benefits, Johns Repeats Charge Johns repeated his contention that Collins favors a world govern- ment to which the U.S. would be subordinate. “I’m one of those Americans who thinks of Ameri- canism and not a one-world gov- cnet, the acting governor said. Collins replied he would put his patriotism up against Johns’ any- time. He said after he returned from military service he paid $2.50 to attend a dinner at which a world peace plan was discussed and that he would pay it again to hear “a good discussion by any- one who knows something about this important subject.” Collins repeated a statement he had made before that ‘you can look around you in your own city and your own county.

Mrs. Sjursen voiced her appre- ciation for being given the oppor- tunity to take part in this valuable educational program.
