Page 8 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN * ‘Wednesday, Juty 14, 1994 Tke’s Atomic Energy Program May Be Delayed By Power Plan By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON (#) — Sen. Ander- son (D-NM) said today a long Sen- ate look at a proposed government contract to buy electric power in the TVA area may delay Presi- dent Eisenhower’s broad new atomic energy program. A controversy has been raging in Congress over the President’s directive to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to negotiate a contract for construction of a new private power plant to serve the Memphis, Tenn., area over Tenn- essee Valley Authority lines. Sen. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), .ad- ministration floor leader for the 104-page Atomic Act revision bill, said the power issue promises to provide the main battle on a meas- ure designed primarily to allow giving certain atomic information to allies and to permit private op- eration of nuclear facilities. Hickenlooper said he also ex- pects considerable debate on au- thority provided in the measure for the Defense Department to fur- mish allies with what he calls “sharply circumscribed” data on the “tactical employment of atom- ic a,” He told the Senate last night that the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, of which he is vice chairman, had provided “carefully stiuplated safeguards” to withhold information on the “‘ues.¢.. h fabrication of the nuclear part of atomic weapons . . . (and) de- tailed engineering information on other sensitive parts of our weapons.” The United States, he said, still possesses ‘‘vast superiority in ‘weapon power,” although “traitors, spies” and captured German sci- entists have permitted the Rus- sians “‘to make atomic weapons several years earlier than under their own independent efforts.” He said the United States also fs ahead in the development of peacetime power from atomic energy. He and Anderson said in separ- ate interviews they did not expect the battle over the electric power issue to kill the entire bill, as some Democrats have predicted. Hick- enlooper predicted the measure will pass the Senate after ‘‘con- siderable debate.” * The bill reached the Senate floor last night. The House may begin debate on it within a few days. Anderson said the proposal for the AEC to sign a contract with a private Southern utility group for a new plant at West Memphis, Ark., to generate 600,000 kilowatts of added.power ‘“‘goes beyond” the original intention of Congress. The AEC now has authority to conclude 25-year contracts for meeded power. The present bill makes no change in this clause. “This is pretty important legis- lation,” Anderson said. “We might hold the bill up for a while because billions and billions of dol- lars are involved.” Hickenlooper said that Demo- erats, who have threatened to try curtailing the AEC’s long-term con- . tact authority, “are not concerned with the morality of this contract but are afraid that TVA will not be expanded.” President Eisenhower has de- fended his directive to the AEC to megotiate the power contract on grounds that it will enable the gov- — aan a new look at TVA 4 said, is expa: be- yond its original area. ane * _ The power which the AEC would ‘buy from a private utility combine known as the Dixon-Yates group would be ysed by TVA to serve City. Commission Defers Action On Zone Change The city commission took action last night on an emergency ordin- ance amending the zoning code by removing a provision which states that there must be a 20-foot yard in the rear of structures built in residence “AB” districts. The ordinance was recommend- ed by City Building Inspector Ray Knopp, who said that the provision is “impractical.” Mayor C. B. Harvey opposed Passage of the ordinance. He pointed out that the Planning Com- mission must consider the change in the zoning code and make a recommendation to the commis- sion. He added that a public hear- ing will be necessary. The Mayor said that he is not “arbitrarily” opposed to the change but that he wants more information on the matter. Commissioner Louis Carbonell advocated passage of the measure, saying that the provision is ‘‘an- tiquated.” The provision could conceivably hold up construction on three motels now in the planning stage. Troop 253 Boy Scouts Report © ele On Activities The mayor of St. Augustine, K. E. Brett, was the guest of honor at a campfire held by the Boy Scouts of Key West Troop 253 in St. Augustine last night, accord- ‘ing to information given to The Citizen in a phone call from Scout- master Tony Martinez this morn- ing. The St. Augustine mayor was presented with a letter from Mayor C: B. Harvey and in accepting the letter, sent greetings from the City of St. Augustine to Key West. The local troop, accompanied by their Scoutmaster, is on a tour of the state. Martinez also told The Citizen today that the troop would leave St. Augustine this morning for Green Cove Springs and that “all the boys are just fine and en- Joying the trip.” * Four-Months-Old Infant Is Raped By Her Abductor HOBBS, N.M. —The 4-months- old daughter of a Japanese war bride and a former GI was kid- naped and raped early today. Police said little Jackie Jo Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Davis, who live just across the Texas line from here, was abducted from her home by a dinner guest. Authorities identified him as Bill Hughes, 34, of Seminole, Tex. The strapping Hughes, 6 feet, 2 and 195 pounds, was held in Semi- nole following his arrest near the car in which officers said he abandoned the baby. Gaines County, Tex., attorney Bill Curry said he would file charges of ‘‘kidnaping or rape or consumers in the Memphis area. | both, TVA then would continue to fur- nish a like amount of power to the atomic plant at Paducah, Ky. Anderson served notice he will offer an amendment to the atomic energy bill to allow AEC to con- ‘tract for power only when it is to be delivered directly to an atomic installation. Sen. Gore (D-Tenn) told news- men he will offer an amendment to prohibit AEC from contracting to pay the taxes of any private firm or to compensate any private firm for taxes paid to federal, state and local governments. Un- der the proposed contract, AEC would pay taxes of the private utility group. Fortune Teller Hits The Number BALTIMORE (® — Stina Gilk, a 19-year-old Gypsy, predicted num- ber 146 would hit yesterday, but | she didn’t say who. Patrolman Thomas Tankersley | arrested Stina after a Negro house- wife, Mrs. Mary McLaughlin, com- | plained she tried to flim-flam her out of $15 while blessing the mon- ey. As an added attraction to a 60-cent palm reading, Mrs. Mc- Laughlin said, Stina told her num- ber 146 would hit. The Gypsy was fined $50 and given 30 days in jail after Tankers- Jey hauled her before Magistrate | Charlotte Main. Tankersley’s badge number is 146, Read Citizen Daily | Jackie Jo, a tiny brunette in- fant, received lacerations which had to be sutured, a Seminole physician said. He described her condition as “‘good.” Curry said Hughes was a dinner guest in the Davis home last night and had baked a chicken for them. Mrs. Davis, 26, left him in the tiny two-room cabin in which Jackie Jo was sleeping while she went to a nearby club just across the state line in New Mexico where her husband is a bartender. The Davis cabin is only 20 or 30 feet inside the Texas line. When she returned the baby and Davis were gone, but the Davis’ other child, a son, Johnnie, 5, was still asleep and apparently un- harmed.

HEART SPECIALIST (Continued from Page One) better to play a couple holes each night.” Kind Of Heart Ills Schmitt said that there were six kinds of heart disease and he de- scribed five of them. He put em- phasis on people who let anxiety give trouble to a good heart. In describing the effects on the heart of too lengthy periods of anxiety he said, “It is like a rubber band, you stretch it and then let it go and it returns to its normal shape. However, if it is stretched and kept tight for a long period of time, it loses its elasticity.” “T tell people what is quoted in the Bible about anxiety — ‘Be not. anxious about tomorrow for tomor- row will be anxious about itself.’ ” Schmitt added, “Yesterday is gone, today is here. Keep your level, join clubs like this one.” Describes Heart In describing the heart, Schmitt said that it is a bundle of muscle and beats 100,000 times a day. In one year, the heart pumps the equivalent of 75 tank cars of blood. The heart rests between beats. It beats faster in men than women. “Men are the weaker sex.” “Let’s face it,” Schmitt said, “thin people live longer than heavy people. If you want to live longer, do not over eat. There is only one way to reduce and that is to not eat so much, When you get a mas- sage the masseur is the only one who is losing weight. Alcohol in moderation should not hurt you. However, all alcohol does is stop the pain.” More Hope Now Schmitt added that there is more hope now days for heart patients than ever before. “There has been more progress in the cure and treatment of heart disease during the last ten years than ever before,” he said. ‘‘Sev- enty out of a hundred infants to- day will live to be at least 65. More people are dying of heart at- tacks today than ever before be- cause they are living longer and “| are not being killed by other caus- Chg Schmitt said there are more heart attacks in the winter than in the summer and more in the north than in the south. “If you live south of Palm Beach, your chances are very small of having an initial or original rheumatic "| heart attack.” “The symptons of heart disease "| are swelling ankles, shortness of (Naval Base) High Tides Low Tides 8:57 a.m. 2:12 a.m. 10:35 p. 3:58 p.m. ADDITIONAL TIDE DATA Reference Station: Key West Time ef Height of Station— Tide high water Bahie Honde (bridge) .....—oh 10m Ne Name Key (east end) ....-2h 20m Bece Chice + Sandy Pt. —ch Om Caldes Channel +h 10m 41.4 ft.

Trading was moderately active. Changes seldom went to as much as a point except in unusual in- stances. 9.0 tt. Major divisions a shade lower included steels, motors, aircrafts, distillers, coppers, and electrical equipments. Up a little were rail- roads, movie issues, and utilities. Mixed to steady were rubbers, merchandising issues, farm imple- ments, chemicals, and oils. Among stocks showing improve- ment were Goodrich, Boeing, American Telephone, and 20th Cen- + | tury-Fox. A little lower were Bethlehem Steel, General Motors, Goodyear, Douglas Aircraft, National Distill- ers, Du Pont, General Electric, and Standard Oil (NJ). Ferry Landing Lease Approved The city commission put their final stamp of approval last night on a lease for the old Wagner pro- perty at the north end of Simonton Street for use as the local terminus of a Key West-Cuba ferry opera- tion. The city fathers agreed to lease the property to the Caribbean Ferry system, Inc., for a 20 year period.Rental is set at $100 per month for the first ten years and $150 per month there- after. The agreement also provides that the ferry must be in operation by December 1 or the lease is void. SABOTAGE CHARGED BERLIN # — A Communist court has opened a trial in Halle of six East German mining ex- perts charged with attempted sab- otage of production in copper | mines. breath, and pain in the chest. Pains in upper side of the body are not caused from the heart,” Schmitt stated. Question Period .The members of the club were given a chance to ask questions in what Schmitt termed ‘‘a free con- sultation.” One person asked a question, “Do you believe that all of this education and constant talk about the heart and their diseases tends to give people heart neurosis.” Schmitt answered, “Yes, but I NEW ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ASSIGNED Lieutenant Commander Jack Moore, MSC, USN, has reported to the U. S. Naval Hospital re- Placing Lieutenant Commander R. Lewis as Administrative Officer. The new member of the staff enlisted in the Navy at NTS, Great Lakes, in February 1927 and from there on worked up through the various rates until he was com- missioned an officer in 1943. He now resides at Key Largo with his wife and son, Jack; Jr. HARPOON SERVES TO CATCH SWORDFISH BLOCK ISLAND, RI. ®& Arthur B. Rose, a fisherman, wasn’t equipped yesterday to land a 160-pound swordfish—but he did anyway. He sighted the big fish while hauling lobster pots. He tied the end of his striking line to a stack of pots, had his partner, Hdward Conley, tie him to the mast for safety’s sake, and then proceeded to harpoon the swordfish. POLIO EPIDEMIC (Continued from Page One) area is considered epidemic when more than 30 cases per 100,000 Population are reported in one month. He said that in the northwest section, with a population of about 10,000, a total of 20 cases had been reported in the past month. The number of polio cases in the county reached 64 yesterday and Dr. Hughes said he hoped “Ge peak. of the outbreak may have been reached.” a year 77 cases were report- ——— am a firm believer in education. A doctor must take time in exam- i ining a patient. He should be giv- en a physical and convinced that his trouble is not from his heart. However, sometimes it takes a long time to actually determine if a person really has heart disease or not. I usually take an hour in examining a patient for a heart disorder.” Schmitt had with him a large model heart that was painted and had flaps that could be. opened to show the inner contents. He used it quite often during his discussion in explaining his points of inter- est. Schmitt urged that everyone should get a physical at least once a year. In routine club announcements, Gene Anhier told of the forthcom- ing inter-council meeting to be held on July 19 in the Shel- bourne Hotel on Miami Beach. “The meeting will be ladies night and for entertainment there will be a water show and also dancing,” Anhier said. William Neblett announced that the community chest will meet Thursday to elect new officers and that all people who contributed can vote. IKE PUSHES FOR {Continued from Page One) other things, if United States rep- resentation at the Geneva talks would be helpful rather than dam- aging in reaching an Indochina set- tlement. He said Dulles’ visit reflects a great concern on the part of this country to keep a united front on fundamental principles with its chief allies, Britain and France. The President also made a fir- |mal announcement that South Ko- ran President Syngman Rhee’s July 26 visit to the United States | will be for the purpose of making further plans for ‘‘the attainment of a unified, free and independent Korea.” It was announced in Seoul ear-| lier in the day that Rhee would visit Washington. Other Matters On other matters Eisenhower said: | 1.. He is not going to let his jProposal or a limited share-the- atom program for peaceful pur- poses die if he can help it. This is | the program he outlined before the United Nations last December. It calls for participation by the Rus- sians as well as this country’s al- lies. The President said he was} sure British Prime Minister Churchill agreed with him the plan should not die even if some people —meaning the Russians—will not go along with it. His meaning seemed to be that an atomic pool without the Soviet block is a pos- sibility. 2. He thinks the Senate Agricul- ture Committee made a grave er- ror in voting to raise the support price of buter from 75 to 85 per cent of parity. This won’t help the basic problem—selling more butter at a reasonable price— the Presi- dent said, and the only people who will profit will be the middle men} who can sell their butter stocks’ to the government at a cost of a hundred million dollars or some- thing of that kind to the taxpayers. 3. He is not committed to any particular formula for building highways but is absolutely con- vinced a multi-billion-dollar high- way construction program is need- ed with both federal and state support. His call for increased highway modernization through the federal grant-in-aid system has run into sharp questioning at the con- ference of state governors at Bol- ton Landing, N.Y., where Vice | President Nixon outlined the Eisen- hower program in a speech Mon- day night. 4. He has a man in mind for appointment to the vacant post of Tennessee Valley Authority chair- | man but is not ready to announce the name. 5. He is very deeply concerned | about Alaska’s place in the United States defense system. While he declined to give a specific opinion on statehood for Alaska, he said it jis easier to use a territory than | jit is to use a state for defense | purposes, for the reason that the | central government has absolute control of a territory. 6. He hopes to get away for a Diaz Named Manager Of Laundry Here Rudolph Diaz has been named general manager of the Poinciana Laundry, it was announced today by Frank Bartalone, proprietor of the establishment. Diaz, a native Floridian, is a graduate of the American Laundry Institute, Joliet, Il., and the National Institute of Cleaners, Silver Springs, Md. He was formerly connected with the Vogue Cleaners, Miami Beach’s largest and most exclusive estab- lishment of that type. Mr. Diaz is a war veteran and| a former officer instructor of the Camp Lee, Va., Mobile Laundry Training Unit. His experience dates back to 1926 when he started with the Knickerbocker Laundry in New York City. The Poinciana Laundry main- tains two plants in Key West One is at 3438 Duck Avenue where laundry operations are conducted and the other is at 218 Simonton Street. Street. It is a dry cleaning plant. The laundry also operates a diaper service. summer vacation in Denver around the middle of August and has made some tentative arrangements to interrupt the vacation for a few such things as dam dedications, fairs and conventions. 7. The resolution by Sen. Flan- ders (R-Vt) to strip Sen. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis) of his committee chairmanships is one that he (the President) is happy to leave up to the Senate. 8. He can’t predict when or whether the administration will call on Congress for a boost in the 275-billion-dollar ceilings on the national debt. The decision must be deferred, he told questioners, until more of the government’s needs are in. But regardless of the immediate problem, Eisenhower added, the administration is resolved to place the government on a basis of living within its income. The country can’t live forever on deficit spend- ing, he said, and repeated it can’t be done. FAMILY | CHURCHILL AND (Continued From Page One) “stimulating the war in Indo- china.” With jaw out, Churchill went ous to warn: “I am sure to choose such a mo- ment as this to try to force the entry of Communist China into the United Nations would be to com. plicate altogether the very grave affairs we have to deai with in so many other spheres and would be regarded as a most harsh and un- called for act of unfriendliness by the mighty people of the United States, to whom we owe much and from whom no government ever received more than the Labor government.” Attlee, interrupting, said he nev- er suggested that this moment this could be done. Glad Of Delay “I am glad to hear that,” re- | torted Churchill, “because it would, in any case be difficult to deal with the matter at this very mo- ment.” Churchill said Monday that he felt Red China should eventually get into the U.N.—but declared the Communjsts must first give genu- ine evidence of good faith. Churchill drew cheers from the Conservative side of the House by declaring “it was only a little while ago that Mr. Attlee joined the United States in repelling Com- | munist aggression.” Attlee was Prime Minister when the Korean War broke out and backed the U.N. intervention. He also was Prime Minister when Britain recognized Peiping in 1950, Before Churchill spoke Attlee told the house: “TI can perfectly understand the Americans fear of militant com- munism and possible Chinese ag- gression throughout Asia, but I think it is worth while looking at this from the other point of view. “There is the Chinese point of view. Here you have a revolution- ary government which is undoubt- edly supported by the mass of the people.” SUSPENDED POLICE LT.
