Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, September 10, 1954) an NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO eo MAS RESPETO “Wa generalidad de los forasteros | que nos visitan durante algunos meses del afio, supone que nues- tro querido pueblo, es una aldea africana, o un zoco marroqui, que No merece el respeto adecuado, ni siquiera para cumplir con las le- yes vigentes. Nuestra policia se excede en atenciones y en disimulos con esos visitantes, para. evitar que al mi -charse hablen mal de Key West, de su poblacién y de sus autoridades policiacas. Pero esos titulados ‘‘turistas” viengn al Cayo réalizan aqui ac- ciones que no serian capaces de realizar en su pueblo, ni aun ‘en otra ciudad, como Miami o Tampa. Empiezan porque tan pronto entran en la ciudad, sueltan toda la ropa. Llegan en muchos casos, a extremos inmorales, pese a que la policia de manera persuasiva les Matha: muchas veces la aten- cién. Para esos visitantes que dejan bien! pocas utilidades en la ciudad, no existe el respeto que se debe de ofrecer a los vecinos de una ciudad donde se les recibe cordialmente y en la que se le toleran muchas cosas que en otra rte serian sancionadas por las ves y los jueces. | Esos visitantes, parquean el carro donde les dg la gana, Cie- rran los cristales y se meten en el motel © en el hotel, sin importar- les pico si han dejado el carro en lugares donde esta prohibido el parqueo. Y despues, cuando re- tornan al dia siguiente y encuen- tran la notificaeién de una multa por infraccién, entonces hablan hasta por lps codos de Key West, de sus habitantes y de su policia. Es muy eurioso el caso. No desdefian en gastarse algunos pe- $08 en cerveza, en cambio huyen y rehuyen hasta donde pue- den, el abonar una peseta por par- quear en algun lugar a esa finali- dad destinado. Parece que ellos suponen que esta Ciudad no es de nadie o és la “tierra de todos”. En) Miami, por ejemplo, se cuidan muy bien de llevar sus carros a los lugares de parqueo y abonan sin protestar, las cantidades fijadas por ese servicio. Pero aqui en Key West, eso no les interesa y dejan el carro en cualquier lugar... . Es preciso que los que nos visi- ten ge den exacta cuenta de que nuestro pueblo es un pueblo civili- zado, donde sus habitantes conocen la urbanidad y saben verstirse correctamente. Es antipatico ver a algunas de esos visitantes, por- tando solamente. un “short, demasiado “short”, luciendo las’ espaldas y el resto de su humani- dad, como si estuvieran en plena selva africana, o en las playas de Daytona. Bien esta que los que van de Playas, se vistan de acuerdo con lo usyal en tales lugares, pero eso de andar por tiendas, cines etc., medio désnudo, con unas piernas velludas y plengs de musculaturas en los varones y a veces, ple- toricas de varices, en algunas res- Petables matronas, eso, sera muy democratico, pero tenemos que confesar que es de muy mal gusto. Porque la mayoria de los que hacen tales. alardes, no se atre- verian en sus ciudades natales, andar en forma tan “fresca” por sus avenidas. Porque ellos saben de memoria que la policia de esos lugares no se lo permitirian. Hay que ensefiarles que los perking-places de Key West, son exactamente iguales a los de cual- dido su carro y no permitirse el atrevimiento o la frescura, de arri- mar el carro ai frente de una asa, -bloqueandole 1a entrada, su- bir los cristales y. marcharse tranquilamente a pasear, o dorinir y hasta a veces, tomar el omnibus para ir a Miami y dejar obstruida la entrada de la casa de un parti- cular cualquiera que no se ha metido con nadie, hasta que al forastero le da su realisima gana de volver por su carro. ¥ es que | ellos saben que nuestra amable | Policia solo lés deja una notifica- | cién, que solo les cuesta un peso | (cuando lo pagan), mientras que dejar el carro en un parking-pla- ce.un par-de dias, les costaria mucho mas y prefieren molestar | al vecino, a ciencia y paciencia | de las autoridades, que pecan de | exageradas y complacientes para | atender a los forasteros que nos visitan. Conste que no todos los visi- | tantes proceden de igual manera, | Afortunadamente el ntmero de los que artidan semi-desnudos_ es pequefio en proporcién y el de los que dejan el carro en cualquier | lugar, tambien es pequeno. Y conste que al escribir este | trabajo lo hacemos como “‘dolien- | tes”, ya que mas de una vez, hemos tenido bloqueada la puerta de entrada de ‘nuestro domicilio, por carros de gentes de afuera y| aunque nos hemos quejado, nunca | se han tomado medidas para evi- | tar que esos abusos se repitieran. Hay que cumplir las leyes o, en su defecto, suprimirlas. Porque los que visitan la ciudad, deben | tener alguna preferencia, pero no tenta, que les permita impune- mente ir contra los derechos de los veeinos, pasando por encima de las leyes, para ahorrarse unas cuentas pesetas. No se concibe que haya personas que teniendo maquinas de alto precio, des- defien pagar el importe del par- queo y prefieran molestar a los vecinos, situandoles el carro en su puerta con una tranquilidad, ra- yana en desvergienza. Por eso pedimos mas respeto a Tos que aqui vivimos. Mayor res- peto de’ parte de los forasteros visitantes, Que no somos ni forma- mos parte del Marrueco francés, ni del Macao portugués, ‘sino que estamos a las puertas del pais mas civilizado y democratico del | mundo, donde se /cumplen las leyes y se castiga a los delin- | cuentes, Que la‘finura y amabilidad de | nuestra policia, no sea mal inter- | pretada por los visitantes, al extremo de corstituir. material- mente .yna burla,.Ja manera en que actuan frente a esa cortesia, algunos de nuestros visitantes. Mejor, sera, al fin y al cabo, que no nos visiten. Porque ademas de dejar pocas utilidades en la Ciudad, los que tales cosas hacen, solo sirven para molestar a los que vivimos aqui y cumplimos cabalmente ‘con todas las leyes y_| cuando visitamos otras ciudades somos respetuosos de las dispo- sciones que las rigen. Despues de todo, diremos parodiando un dicho muy corriente entre la gente del campo, alla en Cuba: “para fa leche que dé la vaca, que se la tome el pobrecito ternero” . . Ello .quiere decir que aunque hos honramos cuando se nos visita, pedimos que al hacerlo, se nos respete y se respete nuestra pro- | piedad y la tranquilidad de nues- tros hogares. Y con carros en la puerta, impidiéndonos acercar el nuestro a la puerta del “home”, quier otra ciudad de Florida. Y hay que pagar por tener alli defen- durante dos y tres dias... Asi no deseamos que se nos visite. Ex-President Fl Amid Threats From Crowds By JACK RUTLEDGE MEXICO CITY #—Ex-President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman of Guate- mala flew into Mexican exile to- day as threatening crowds screamed “Assassins! Criminals! Genocides!” at his departure from his homeland. The chief of Guatemala’s ousted pro-Communist regime landed here before dawn in a special Mexican | plane. He was accompanied by his, wife, their two young sons and 17 of his supporters. } All had been refugees, with hun- dreds of others, in the Mexican embassy in Guatemala since the forces. of Lt. Col. Carlos Castillo Armas forced Arbenz out of office June 27. Castillo, now Guatemala’s dent, finally granted the refugees safe conduct permits out of the country in accordance with the tra- ditional Latin-American right of political asylum. But the new Guat- emalan regime announced it would seek the extradition of those want- ed for numerous murders, tortures and other crimes it has laid to the former government: Associated Press Correspondent Alvaro Contreras reported from Guatemala City that strong ‘cor- dons of military police were need-| ed to protect Arbenz from the large and angry crowds which ga.

Arbenz met this with angry glances but otherwise did not say a word be- fore he boarded the plane. Among those accomdanying him into exile were Jose Manuel For- ‘uny, secretary of the Guatemalan Communist party, and Col. Carlos Enrique Diaz, ex-chief of the armed forces who had taken over the government for 34 hours after Arbenz resigned. After the plane’s departure, the crowd surrounded Mexican Ambas- sador Villa Michel and members of his staff, shouting “Communists!” The Mexicans were rushed to their cars by a large military escort! and back to the embassy. | OH WELL, LET | EM DRINK TEA TOKYO — Americans complaining about | coffee? _ Coffee soared to 50 cents ap in several Tokyo restaurants to- day.

Milly, a wasp-waisted, curva- ceous lovely of 21 years, is playing the mother of seven children op- posite Bob Hope in “Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys.” She was here once before—to play with Kirk Douglas in “The Juggler.” I asked her if, she would stay on after the Hope picture. “Perhaps,” she replied, “‘if some other pictufés come up. Otherwise I will go back to Rome.” What’s this? Isn’t Hollywood the land of opportunity for actresses the world over? She indicated otherwise. “T can make more money in Italy,” she said. “The taxes here take half my salary.

But there seems to be so many more of them here. I don’t know why it is.
