Key West Scouts of Troop “will leave the area July 10 to com- mence a 15 day tour of the State of Florida. ne — Sponsored by the jam Society of St. Mary, Star of the Sea Chutch, the Troop will make a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Nues- tra Senora de la Leche at Saint Augustine. The Catholic Scouts of ug hares must make this pilgrimage to con- form with their requirement in the “Ad Altari Dei” religious award, and also as a Marian Year Honor to the Immaculate Queen of Heaven. The Statewide tour is being aided financially, morally and phsically by members of the sponsoring institution. The troop will become “Scout Tourists” leaving Key West in their bus. They will take in the cities of Boca Raton, Saint Augus- tine, Green Cove Springs, Lake Wales, Bradenton, Sarasota and Fort Meyers. Seeing ‘‘Africa, U. 8. A. “Marineland”, the Bok ‘Tower, Ringling Museums and the Everglades National Park will add excitement to the trip. Sleeping and eating in the open will be a great event, while the Scouts themselves will do the cooking and policing the camp. New tents will insure dry Scouts in the event of rain during the tour. Scout officials and citizens of the various communities to be visited are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the southernmost Scouts. Tony Martinez, Scoutmaster of the Troop, will be in charge the trip assisted by Scouts James Gainer, Albert Leightley and Fred Thompson. Fred H. Dettmer will be special guest of the troop on the tour. é “THIEVES GET THE BIRD SANTA CRUZ, Calif. w — All these thieves got was the bird — or birds, Leona Olson told police ahout $235 in birds — mostly canarips — were stolen from her Olie Lee Birdhaven yesterday. TITLE TO 736 ACRES (Continued From Page One) the fight to keep the lands for the . county. Commissioner Joe Allen prom- ised that he is in favor of a “fight to the bitter end” to keep the land for the county. ‘ “I’m speaking for myself, but I think the rest of the commission will agree with me when I say that; we'llvleave no stone unturn- ed in fighting to keep the land,” he said. ) Taxpayers Took Risk “Mt was Monroe County taxpay- ers who took the risk and shoul- dered the obligation of a bond issue to build the highway and it is only right that the lands should revert to them,” Allen continued, “As far as I’m concerned, we'll take the matter right to the United States Supreme Court to see that we get our rights—whatever they ‘do, we'll be right behind them.”. Toll commission chairman Dem- eritt has also gone on record as being unalterably. opposed to giv- ing pp the land. He also said that he feels the other commission members will back him up. The land in question was pur- chased from the Florida East Coast Railroad at the time the Overseas Highway was built. Since then, some of the land has been put under long term lease ineluding property on West Sum- merland Key for a Boy Scout camp, property for the erection of the Coral Shores School and land for the Marathon Chamber of Com- merce and the fire station there. Press “Expose” At the time the seven man toll commission was removed during the Miami press’ “expose” of the toll road, a survey of West Sum- merland Key had already been made and deeds conveying one half of the island to the Girl Scouts and the other half to the Boy Scouts and were being prepared, Lands owned by the district in- clude the following parcels, accord- ing to county tax records: 3% acres on Lower Matecumbe Key, 322% acres on Long Key, one half acre on Grassy Key, 13 acres on Knight’s Key, 5 acres on Pigeon Key, 25% acres on Little Duck Key, 344 acres on Missouri Key, 273% acres at Bahia ‘Honda and 79% acres on West Summerland Key. Purpose of today’s meeting, ac- cording to attorney Dayton, is to put the wheels in motion for the liquidation of the assets of the dis- trict. But the commission may want to ben & few questions about that, as Included in their assets are sev- eral pieces of “ stock,” and oy 40-thousand dollar revolving The commission may want to eet sey sel pepltes Sie aah ge Western Caribbean: northeast to ¢ast winds moderate veriable over e south Partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy we: with scattered showers through §atur- day.

FIRST ROUND IN (Continued from Page One) “That is up to the coroner’s jury to determine.” Surptising Evidence A corotier’s jury, at five emotion- packed hearings since the youth’s death, have héard sevéral witness- es, intluding his mother, Mrs. Mar- jon Thorné. The inquest is to be resumed Wednesday. Mrs. Thorne’s attorneys have said they intend to present “surprising evidence.” Nine days before his death, Thorne rewrote his will to remove his mother as chjef beneficiary and to leave three quarters of his es- tate to his sweetheart, Maureen Ragen, 18, and her mother Aleen. Miss Ragen says she and Thorne were to have been married in De- cember, after Thorne’s 21st birth- day, but Mrs. Thorne denies this. ‘robate Judge Charles G. Seidel of Kane County was summoned to Chicago to preside over today’s hearing on a proof of Thorne’s heirship in a petition filed by the Ragens’ lawyer. The hearing will concern only the youth’s Tight to the fortune left by his father Gor- don C. Thorne, who died in 1938.

Louis Eisner told the members that if they wanted to have a new ‘|elub house, the members would have to do something individually. He pointed out that he could ob- tgin rock fill for the low price of $1.50 per yard. Eisner added, “If anyone knows of anyone needing to dispose of fill, have them dump it on our property. That is the way we are going to get°our new club house.” TOWNER SAYS CITY (Continued from Page One) the. sale of the remaining 368 houses,” Adm. Towner added. Turning to another phase of the housing shortage here, Adm. Towner said many Navy men will not pick Key West for duty. He pointed to reports from the submarine school at New London, Conn. There the graduates are given the opportunity to select the bases at which they would like to be stationed. The choice is hased on the ranking in the class. Of a class of 112 officers, all chose other bases except the low- est 13 in the class, who took Key West. Out of a class of 150 enlisted men, he said, only four petty offi- cers above second class volunteer- ed for duty in Key West. Men Don’t Like It The admiral said this avoidance of Key West by Navy personnel was due to the shortage of housing here; the low caliber of: the hous- ~ -vailable; and expensive living ‘ here. 48 despite the basic allowance for quarters which the Navy gives to its personnel, Enlisted men, for example, re- ceive up to $96.90 monthly for quarters when they are obliged to live in town. That is, when they do not live on the station. Here is the Navy’s quarters al- lowance for enlisted men as out- lined by Adm. Towner: Seamen with one dependent re- eeive $51.30 per month; with two dependents, $77.15; and with more than two dependents, $96.90. Petty officers with one or two dependents receive $77.10 per month; with more than two de- pendents, the sum is $96.90. Future Possibilities There is a possibility, Adm. Towner went on, that more Navy housing will be built here. He said there is a provision in a bill now before the Congress to build 103 housing units here. . If Congress okays the bill, th units will be built in the Salt Pond area or on the Naval Station, he added. However, already assured for the Navy here are 250 trailers that will be spotted in the Salt Pond area where the Navy now has a trailer camp. These are second-hand trailers the Public Housing Authority is providing the Navy here. Earlier, Adm. Towner said, the Nevy asked the authority for 500 low-cost units for Key West but Congress did net make the money available. It was then that the trailers were offered and accepted. Adm, Towner said 852 Navy fam- ilies were here waiting for vari- ous types of housing. Interim Aecommedations “They camp out,” he said, “liv- ing in motels, one-room apart- ments and trailer parks while waiting for housing in their price range and with the number of bedrooms they need.” Needed, he said, was low-rent housing for enlisted men first and then junior officers. “They can’t afford what most houses and apartments here For Home or Dial 26831 LO IS AT | PINDER TELLS LIONS | TREVOR REPORTS ON (Continued fram Page Une) Pan American Airways.

Besides it is practically impossible to find anything at that time.” The Navy Relief Society, he said, is footing the bill for all or part of the rent for “a lot of people” here. “Each month,” Adm. Towner | continued, “Navy Relief gives about $2,000 a month toward rents. | That is strictly a gift. It does not| include the amounts loaned to personnel by Navy Relief for rent money.” The situation is so critical here, he added, that the Navy is con- tinually updating its lists of need- ed housing, striking off names who have found quarters and adding others who need housing.
