Lt. Mario Cavestany Garcia cee eel Allied Nationals Study At Fleet Sonar School |" Weatherman — (Editors Note: This is the first In & series of articles to be re- leased on Allied Nationals study- ing at Fleet Sonar Schoo! here.) Lt. Mario Cavestany Garcia of the Spanish Navy will soon take the knowledge of Sonar he gained at Fleet Sonar School back to Spain. In addition, he will have been enriched by the shared ex- Perience of working together with others of different backgrounds for similar goals. Lt. Cavestany was born in Bur- gos in 1923 and .was .taken .to Madrid by his parents at the age of 3 months, Education is not com- pulsory in Spain as in the United States, and a child who desires education will enter a primary School when: he is six or seven. At 10 years of age secondary teach- ing commences and continues for seven years. Lt. Cavestany acquired his sec- ondary education in the Instituto Cervantes named after the famed novelist who wrote Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes. At 17 he entered the Escuela Naval Militar, the Spanish Awnapolis, and was graduated second in his class in January 1946, Cruiser Duty Then sent to the cruiser Galicia, Lt. Cavestany became Assistant Communications Officer. The Gal- icia operated out of El Ferrol, a Spanish Naval Operating Base in the northwest of Spain. An ag- Ticultural section of Spain and ‘very mountainous, the country around El Ferrol produces Wolf- ram used in making steel and el- ectric lamp filaments. From July ’46 to January ’47 Lt. Cavestany was attached to the Spanish Naval Training Center in LT. MARIO CAVESTANY GARCIA San Fernando, Cadiz, a training station similar to the U. S. Navy Boot Camp. The province of Cadiz is noted for its Sherry wine and | music. The former is named after a city in this province called Jerez which means Sherry in English. Settled by Celts, Romans, Arabs, Phoenicians, Greeks, and many others, the provinces of Spain each have a different type of mus- ic. The Algeria and Tanguillo are the music of Cadiz: Goes To Destroyer Transferred back to the cruiser Galicia until September of °47, Lt. Cavestany then boarded the de- stroyer Almirante Miranda based at Soller, Majorca. The destroy- er, a training ship for the Torpedo School in Soller, took aboard stu- dents for the sea phase portion of their instruction. “Majorca is a great tourist at- traction,” Lt. Cavestany stated. “In summer it seems that there are more French people there than Spanish.” Majorca is also the island to which George Sand went with Chopin in 1838. There is a Chopin museum in Valldemosa where the pair stayed just outside of Palma, the capital. In 1949, Lt. Cavestany was as- signed to a four-masted sailing ship aboard which Spanish mid- shipmen must spend their third | Naval Academy year. Promoted to Lieutenant in August of ’50 (there is no Lt. (jg) grade in the Spanish Navy), Lt. Cavestany became | Navigation and later Communi- cations Officer aboard the destroy- er Lepanto. Duty as aide to Admiral Diez |de Rivera in Madrid and a one year course in the Spanish Navy’s Electronic School preceeded Lt. | Cavestany’s arrival at Fleet Son- | ar School. Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, June 22, 1954 Churchill Said To Be Ready To Join In Pact LONDON # — Prime Minister Churchill is now ready to commit ‘ Britain to join the proposed South- east Asian defense alliance against communism after the Geneva con- ference ends, an authoritative source said today. Churchill’s Cabinet, which met this morning, was understood to have approved such a commitment during Churchill’s conferences .in. Washington this coming weekend with President Eisenhower. Thus far the British have agreed merely to examine the desirability of setting up the contemplated Southeast Asian Treaty Organiza- tion, a military alliance linking the West with non-Communist coun- tries in Asia. That agreement was reached when U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles conferred here in April with Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. The Foreign Office declined com- ment on the report the commit- ment will be extended.

TODAY'S /STOCK MARKET NEW YORK (® — The: stock market advanced today on a broad front. Only tobacco shares were decidedly lower. Steels, motors, aircrafts, farm implement companies, ‘radio-tv, motion pictures, chemicals and oils made progress. Railroads and utilities were fairly steady. Tobaceo stocks were under sell- ing pressure following the Ameri- ean Cancer Society report estab- lishing a link between cigarette smoking and cancer. Among the ristrs were U.S. Steel, General Motors, Chrysler, Goodyear, Montgomery Ward, Cat- erpillar, United Aircraft, General | Electric, Westinghouse, Common- wealth Edison ard Sinclair Oil. Slightly lower were Bethlehem Steel, American Smelting, Ameri- can Telephone, Pennsylvania Rail- road, American Airlines and U.S. Gypsum. e ELKS LODGE REGRETS OMMISSION OF NAMES Chairman of the Elks Lodge Flag Day program, Frank Romaguera, reports that his attention has been called to the fact that names of two participating organizations were omitted from the news stor- ies of that affair. Romaguera regrets this ommis- sion and wishes to express the gratitude of the Elks to. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3911 and to its Auxiliary for their assistance in making the Flag Day event a success. JUDGE LOPEZ ORDERS (Continued from Page One) the resolution was adopted and if it is still in effect. Law Quoted The petition further states: “That Chapter 27756, Laws of| Florida, 1951, authorizing the | Board of County Commissioners . + to divide Stock Island . into districts is unconstitutional in that it constitutes unlawful dis- crimination and class legislation because no comprehensive plan or orderly development of Monroe| County is provided by said act| and in effect amounts to partial zoning of a small portion of Mon- roe County, Florida, and is beyond the police power of the State and constitutes a taking of propert: without due process of law . . .” Miller is represented by William | V.

Electric Program Other,action to be considered by commission included. resolu- tion “atithor: e transfer of $191,416 in City Electric System funds to a special atcount to fin- ance a huge expansion program of the ¢ity-oWned utility. The’ money would be used for the purchase, of new equipment and ‘the ‘extension of distribution lines, according to Merville Rosam, general manager of the company. The program was approved by the Utility Board at an earlier meeting. Housing Resolution The resolution covering the Poinciana Housing situation states that the project ‘is acceptable for long-term housing and should be retained for use as an integral part of the housing and building in the community.” The government had earlier noti- fied the city that they were con- templating razing the housing units prior to returning the land to private ownership. The Lanham Act, under which the housing was built, provides |that the housing units should be torn down before the land was re- turned to its owners. The city, however, was given a chance to purchase them and when they failed to reach an agree- ment, the lan! owners were auth- orized to operate the units in view of the city’s tight housing situation.

Cuba’s Federation of University Students named Arbenz an honor- ary leader. The group made plans for a giant demonstration in Ha- vana despite police restrictions on such meetings, Panama Divided Panama’s students were divided. One group raised the Guatemalan flag on the National University campus last night, called a 24-hour Strike for today, and said the flag would stay up “as long as the Arbenz regime is under attack.” Meanwhile a group of anti-Com- zations sent a message of support to Col. Castillo Armas, offering volunteers if the insurgents needed them. In Buenos Aires, the semi-official newspaper La Epoca strongly im- plied the United States was to blame for the fighting in Guate- mala. The paper, which usually reflects the views of Argentine President Juan D. Peron’s govern- ment, linked Washington’s cam- paign. against Communist influence in Guatemala to Guatemala’s de- sire to annex neighboring British Honduras and its efforts to end the “inhuman exploitation of the fruit trust.” By contrast, Mexico City’s lead- ing newspaper “Excelsior” came out strongly against the Arbenz government. Though Mexicans gen- erally have sympathized with the Guatemalan president, Excelsior accused him of ‘‘an alliance to in- troduce into America the terrible danger of communism.” BUDGET FOR COUNTY.

Claude Gandolfo, county tax asséssor, said that although there has been no increase in assess- “|ments, the indications are that “|the tax roll will increase by about * 1 $3,400,000. This increase, he said, is due to new construction and new businesses both in Key West and on the Keys.
