Community Auditoriums NY Gove FEDERAL HIGHWAY (MONEY INCREASED Conferees from both the Senate and House have agreed to an increase in Federal aid for highway con- struction from $625,500,000 to $966,000,000. This is a first step in the right direction of more Federal money for highways, and will be readily approved by most of the country’s voters, : ; It has long been realized that the Federal Govern- ment has been using too much highway-produced revenue for purposes other than construction and maintenance of a decent system of highways. While this revenue totals billions of dollars, in the past the Federal Government has been able to spend only a little over half a billion dol- lars on the nation’s roads. Since the end of World War II, in 1945, the number of vehicles on the roads has increased so rapidly that over- crowding and deterioration of highways has become a major problem. Highway experts have almost unanimous- ly agreed that a larger Federal and State expenditure is absolutely necessary to maintain a first-class road system, House, and Senate conferees have accepted this ad- vice, to some extent, it is'increasing the annual appropria- tion for Federal highways to almost a billion dollars. Al- though this is a major increase, compared with the expen- diture appropriated for this purpose last year, we believe this figure will have to be increased considerably in the next year or two. The Federal Government will probably have to spend as much as two or three billion dollars on roads in com- ing years, and if it were not for heavy defense outlays at present, there would be no justification for not spending that amount at the present ‘time. 4 REMOVING “CRAZY” DRIVERS A novel solution to the problem caused by chronic ‘serewball” motorists is being tried in Chicago. A psy- chiatric laboratory is being set up to examine “crazy” drivers. The idea is to find out whether the mental condition of such drivers is normal, Chief Justice Edward S. Scheff- ler, of the Chicago Municipal Court, said recent] psychia- trists could diagnose the mental condition of drivers by a laboratory examination with a high degree of accuracy. When a chronic case, or “screwball” driver is found to be mentally off, his driving privileges will be suspend- ed. The suspended motorist’s psychiatrist will then take over and seek to cure the condition. : We will be interested to see how this experiment works out. It will be eagerly watched by other traffic enforcement agencies all ovér the country, no doubt, and should it prove successful, it may well be that psychiatric tests for “crazy” drivers will become standard procedure.

Nath metal ANYBODY CAN BE DANGEROUS \ This Rock | Of Ours By Bill Gibb Now here it is folks— We've all talked a lot about the Police force, most of us readily concede the fact that the men need better training — but none of us have done anything to solve the situation! If you Key West, resi- dents will help me out a little bit, we can change this pictur’. I don’t think there is much chaftce of a local police school succeeding as long as the men have to work seven nights a week and report for court each afternoon at three o’clock. However, some of the Key West officers have demon- strated in times past that they are eager to study and would do so if a logical plan could be presented to them. Here’s my suggestion. . . The City of Key West has qui a few textbooks related to police science. City Manager Vic - Lang has made arrangements for these books to be borrowed by any police officer. I’ve talked with Chief Perez and he said he would be glad to go further by fixing up book shelves in the station and assign- ing desk sergeants the duty of re- cording borrowers. That is all fine but it isn’t enough. Many good books which would help to improve the police hardly come under a category which would justify the City buying them —ethics, public speaking, psycho- logical novels, etc. This is where you and I come in. We can furnish these books for the new Police Li- brary. I think we can get a nice looking book plate such as: ‘‘Con- tributed To The Key West Police by ‘So-and-So’ In The Interest Of Better Law Enforcement”. What do you think of the idea? I’m willing to start the project rolling by donating the following: (1). “Police Planning” (2). “Homicide Investigation” (3). “The Sexual Criminal” (4). “Interrogation” (5). “The Psychopathic Person- ality” (6). “My Six Convicts” (7). “Uses of Traffic Records” : (8). “Accident Facts” (9). “Public Education for Traf- fic Safety” (10). Monthly issues of the “Flor- ida Peace Officer’s Magazine” and National Safety Council’s “Public Safety.” If you have a few good books around the house which you think would prove beneficial to a man for home-study and if you can spare them, will you join me in this project? By all means, don’t deprive yourself of any book you yourself need and don’t think that titles of donated books must necessarily be concerned with police work. Any work that doesn’t fit in primarily with the police will be sent to the Key West Public Library at the Woman’s Club. Explaining what I mean when I say “don’t deprive yourself”—I have two good books, “‘Understand- ing Human Nature” and “The Adult Mind” which the police could probably use. I’m selfish enough to think that I need them just as badly as any police officer. From time to time, “This Rock” will try to run a review mention- ing some book that would fit in with the library and asking if any- one wishes to donate it. See Chief Perez, City Manager Lang, or myself if you wish to co- operate on this plan. Accident | PEOPLE’S FORUM The Citizen.welcomes expressions of the views of its read- ers, but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which are considered libelous or unwarranted. The writers should be fair and confine the letters to 200 words and write on one side of the paper only. Signature of the writer must accompany the letters and will be published unless requested otherwise. “THANKS RESIDENTS” Editor, The Citizen: I would like to thank the people of Key West for their excellent backing and interest in the athletic activi- ties at Key West High School. Nothing can hurt an athletic program more than indifference or lack of interest by the public. You people of Key West made the football squad feel at home when we traveled to South Broward last season. All those that made the trip to back the team can claim an assist because you never gave up and had a hand in that last minute drive for a touchdown. Thank you again for the interest and we can promise that we will work hard to improve athletics at Key West High in every way in future years, Sincerely ED BECKMAN ee Heroine Of Fortress Goes Back To Paris SAIGON, Indochina —Lt.

The son, Luther, 17, and Jerry Wills, 18, are accused of beating Julian Vega, 68; cafe-bar owner, to death with a pool cue the night of May 21. The pastor of the Linares Aven- ue Baptist church listed these as his views of the cause of juvenile delinquency: a personal spiritual being called the devil; parents’ |f failure to cooperate with other pa- rents; the making of association of teen-agers too convenient. “I think more in terms of paren- tal delinquency than of juvenile delinquency” he said. “Every one of us, including my- self, were too busy, too preoccu- repair eget gens prea Co = 1 Use fish motives to give youngsters mmercia 8 e attention, care and love they need- ue % ed 12 years ago.” He did, apparently, attempt to explain one difficulty his son had Luther’s old prother is a mis- sionary in Mexico, Two sisters are married.
