Violently Protested LOS ANGELES, w—An ear'y THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, September 20, 1954 Arrest Of Meat-Packing Heir By Girl morning arrest put George A. | Hormel IU, musician and meat packing fortane heir, in jail for 10 hours in a narcotics case high- lighted by an encounter between arresting officers and Hormel’: friend, actress Rita Moreno. | Hormel, 26, divoreed from! French actress Leslie Caron, 18 | free today on $1,500 bond on a habeas corpus writ returnable | Thursday in Supgrior Court. At @ press conference arranged by he studio last night, Miss Moreno, who wasn’t arrested, said, “when the officers said they were O’Grady and O’Connor, I thought it was a gag. But I didn’t kick him. I just pushed him in the stomach and slapped his right hand.” | Sergeant's Story Sgt. John E. O'Grady, of the Police narcotics detail, who was in the arresting party early yester- day with Matthew O’Connor, state | nareotics inspector, had a differ-| ent version. “I was met by 100 pounds of | wildcat,” said O'Grady, claiming that Miss Moreno kicked and struck him. She told newsmen, “if I had known they were policemen 1} wouldn’t have fought them.” Hormel was arrested in front of his Laurel Canyon home by the officers who said they found 13 mafijaana cigarettes above the sup visor of his auomobile. He had just come from a night club whére he plays the piano with a trio. O'Grady said a parking lot near the night club had been undcr investigation for several weeks as “a hot bed of marijuana peddling.” Actress Awakened The ruckus with Miss Moreno oc- curred after the officers and Ho7- mel entered his house. Miss Moreno, asleep on a couch, was awakened. It was while O'Grady was trying to examine her purse that the set-to occurred. He said he looked in the purse, anyway, but found nothing unusual. Hormel, booked on suspicion of narcotics law violation, said, “I don’t know how the cigarettes got in my car. I certainly did not put them there. “I have never been a user. I am not at present and will never use narcotics of any description.” Hormel, known as “Geordie” in the music world, added that “I’ve been around narcotics a godd part of my life and know others who use it, but because of what 1 have | seen I know enough to stay away from it.” His attorney, Bentlev Harris, said Hormel ‘most as- | suredly intends to plead not guilty | to any charges.” Higgs Makes Ist Stanley E.

City Couneil’s “freeze” on the number of intoxicating beverage vendors in the city apparently is going to be “melted.” It developed at last night’s meeting of the coun- cil that there are three applica- tions pending for liquor licenses — and only one more license per- mitted under the terms of the or- dinance passed several months a- go. This ordinance ‘‘freezes’’ the number of liquor licenses to 30. Some school children of Key West | went without milk yesterday as the | city’s milk shortage mounted in in- tensity.

Describes Scene She knew all aout the wreck and told it very nicely, too, “I was sitting at the bar about 7 p.m. yesterday,” she said, “waiting for my husband to get off work, “T was talking to a man and wo- man at the bar,” she went on. “They were the ones in the car that later drove through the wall.” Mrs. Dooragin said the couple had one drink while she was talk- ag to them. “Then they left,” Mrs, Dooragin Ane rae hem to drive slow a cal .

It just kept coming slowly.” She said a man customer came running off the porch and into the dining room. “Aunt Bessie was sitting on the Porch and eouldn’t get out of her chair quick enough,” Mrs, Doora- gin said. “The car just slowly pushed her and her chair across the porch. “I guess it pushed her about 15 feet,” Mrs. Dooragin added.

Woman Charged The sheriff's department said theV” had -a woman charged with reckless driving and no driver’s| license. Her name is Mrs. Beulah “Jamaica Ryn” To Ope n Tues. At The Monroe An adventure filled yarn as ex- citing and turbulent as anything to come our way in some time will open next Tuesday at the Monroe Theatre, when Paramount’s brand new Te thriller, “Ja- maica Run,” makes its bow. Starring a talented trio of Holly- wood’s most popular personalities, Ray Milland, Arlene Dahl and Wendell Corey, and with a well balaticed supporting cast that in- eludes Patric Knowles and Laura Eliot, “Jamaica Run” reportedly emerges as top-flight film fare. “Jamaica Run’s” exciting story concerns the deadly conflict be- tween two opposing factions bat- tling for control of a sugar plan- tation. The plantation belongs to Arlene Dahl and her brother, Wendell Corey, who with their mother, a slightly addled eccent- ric, hold on to the estate despite the fact that they are steadily going broke. Ray Milland, who portrays a schooner captain and deep sea diver in love with Miss Dahl, re-| turns from the war and plans to continue his courtship of the love- ly Arlene. However, he gets no- where because of Arlene’s loyalty to her brother and mother, both of whom are fanatically devoted to the centuries old estate but who | leave the job of keeping things going financially to Miss Dahl” | Pattic Knowles, a promoter, furious over the family’s refusal to sell him beach frontage for development purposes, learns there | is a slight legal discrepancy on the title to the estate. He comes up with Laura Elliot and her brother who seem to have a ligiti- mate claim to the place, and from there on in the intrigue thickens, with murder and violence the order of the day. Milland’s exposure of Knowles’ Nefarious activities and the cul- mination of the various romantic angles, all add up to a dramatic climax that fairly surges from the screen, thoroughly captivating ad- vance audiences to date.
