AUGUSTINE hambra Hotel, a landmark here since the turn of the century but closed several months ago, was destroyed ‘yesterday in a $200,000 fire. (®—The Al-| Laubscher Objects To News Story Harold Laubscher, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, took exception to a story in yesterday’s Citizen about a movie company’s search for shabby, old houses here. This morning Laubscher brought office: “Editor, “Key West Citizen “Key West, Florida “Dear Sir: “An article which appeared in yesterday’s Citizen gave a mistak- en version of a conversation be- ers. It had to do with certain hous- es in our community and the man- ner in which it was written may have given a false impression of what was intended, “First of all the Chamber of Commerce submitted a dozen pho- tos of older homes in Key West to Paramount Studios last March in the interest of persuading them to film the Rose Tattoo in Key West. In reply Paramount request- ed an additional group of photos (showing shabby houses), one of which was to be used in a scene in the movie. The second group of pictures sent them included some unoccupied, condemned hous- es that were at the point of col- lapse. “Upon the arrival of Paramount officials here this week it was learned that this particular scene had been dropped and an old aban- doned house would not be requir- ed. In the meantime the company has chosen two typical modest Key West homes, surrounded with hea- vy foliage and rich in character, which will serve as a background in several scenes during the movie. “Yours very truly, “Harold R. Laubscher “Manager, “Key West Chamber of Com- merce.” TODAY’S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK, (®—Quiet strength pulled the stock market a little higher today in early trading.

The presentation took place aboard the Rob- inson, temporary flagship of Commander Destroyer Division 601. Rosen Rests Up For The World Series CLEVELAND (#—Brawny- armed Al Rosen, who has made only one pinchhitter appearance for the Cleveland Indians since they clinched the pennant Satur- day, says he’s “‘just resting up for the World Series.” “Sure my leg’s been bothering me some, and I’ve had a sore back, but you can bet I’d be in there if the pennant wasn’t wrapped up,” Rosen said after the Tribe lost to the Chicago White Sox 9-7 last night. Rosen got into that game to draw a pinch walk in the seventh and then a runner was sent in for him. In the Indians’ last eight games he has missed three, pinchhit in two and played three. “With our kind of bench anyone can lay off for a couple of days without being missed,” Rosen con- tinued. “Back in the early part of the season, even my outs were solid and I just felt good all over. I still reached that 100 RBI mark, but I’m not happy about the sea- son. That’s why I’m anxious to get rested. I’m determined to have a really good series.” His friends have started to worry about him, Rosen said, and he’s anxious to allay any exaggerated ideas about his health. He said that recently a friend “who runs! one of the Cleveland hospitals called and said all its facilities were available to me—and he wasn’t joking, either.” The absence of Rosen’s slugging wasn’t what hurt the Tribe last night. Outfielder Larry Doby pro- vided plenty of punch with a two- run homer and a three-run double. Doby batted in another run with a foul for a total of six to tie Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees for the league lead in runs batted in at 124. With 32 homers, Doby already holds a three-run edge in that department. What wrecked the Indians’ chances last night to extend their 11-game winning string and to cop a 110th victory to tie a league rec- ord was infield play that allowed three unearned Chicago runs on five errors, a wild pitch and a passed ball. With four more games to play, the Tribe doesn’t seem to be wor- rying about its chances of setting a new games-won record to re- place the one the 1927 New York Yankees put on the league’s books. But in today’s rubber game with the White Sox, the Indians will have a special incentive to defeat the team which twice has stopped their longest 1954 winning strings at 11 games. Alleged Murder i Victim Returns To Clearwater CLEARWATER #® — Charles Moore, Clearwater motel operator, returned from an extended vaca- tion trip last night and the story that he had been murdered in Can- ada blew up. Moore, who left here in June, said he knew nothing of the story told Washington, D.C., authorities by Wilfrid Laurier Richard, a Ca- nadian being held on a house breaking charge. t Richard said he robbed and killed a Clearwater motel man and buried the ‘body near a cross at Montreal, but Lt. Henri Fan- coeur, assistant head of the Mon- treal homicide squad, said he be- lieved Richard felt that if he could return to Canada to face a mur- der charge he might get out of the American charges. { |Police Force Commended By Garage Owners The Key West Police Department was commended today by the own- ers of the Twin’s Garage, Duval St., for their quick aetion in solv- jing a robbery there recently. | Peter and Tony Estenoz, the pro- prietors, wrote Police Chief Biend- venido Perez that every man on the force should be commended. Their letter: “Chief of Police Perez “City of Key West Police Depart- ment “Key West, Florida ‘Dear Chief Perez: “We wish to take this opportuni- ty to compliment you and the men of your department for the effi- cient manner in which the attempt- ed robbery of our business was solved recently. | “Please understand that our | thanks go to not only, the officers who actually were concerned with the case but to each and every man in your department. We feel that only the efficient teamwork of every man on the police force could make it possible for such good work to be accomplished in- dividually. “You are doing excellent work, Chief Perez. The Key West Police Department is functioning smooth- ly under your eapable direction. Keep it up. “Sincerely, “Peter and Tony Estenoz” Reports About Tuesday Crash Victims Vary SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. iH— Nine men parachuted from a dis- jabled Air Force C82 cargo plane which crashed and burned in the San Bernardino mountains last night and the Air Force gave con- | flicting reports on how many had been located. _ Maj.

Det. Sgt. Harry F. Dietrich of the St. Petersburg Police Depart- ment has related in minute detail such things as getting a tailor made suit from the personal tailor for one of the accused men. Then when an extra pair of pants wasn’t supplied, the tailor was ordered to furnish them. Dietrich says he got bribes from Henry and Santo Trafficante Jr.,| for months and that Henry often came to his St. Petersburg home to discuss details of a bolita oper- ation and to ask the officer what he wanted or needed. Bolita Ring The Trafficantes are accused by state officers of heading a bolita ring taking in two million dollars a year in Pinellas and Hillsbor- ough counties. It was after five months of undercover work that state and Hillsborough County of- ficials arrested the Trafficante brothers and 41 other persons in mid-May ‘bolita (lottery) raids. The Trafficantes are being tried on 11 counts of bribery. Dietrich has testified be ob- tained an expensive television set, $600 in $100 bills distributed on three oceasions, a case of whisky and the tailor made suit which he said Henry Trafficante arranged | for. “Fixes” Claimed The officer said Henry Traffi- | cante told him at one time that! “The sheriff had been fixed but that had been changed after the! governor started to crack down! on gambling.” Circuit Judge Victor 0. Wehle | who is presiding at the bribery} trial told the six-man jury that! the officials mentioned were not on trial and that Dietrich’s testi-| mony was not to be taken as a true statement regarding the offi- cers. Dietrich’s testimony followed the same pattern as that given at an earlier preliminary hearing. After | that hearing, Police Chief J. R. Reichert and Sheriff Sid Saunders said they had no connection with the Trafficantes. HEARING TODAY LAKELAND (#—A preliminary hearing is scheduled today for Dr. Dodge D.
