The list in- cludes 526 U. S. soldiers and 2,264 South Korean soldiers and about fifty from Western European nations. Admiral T. B. Brittain, senior member of the U. N. Command on Military Armistice Commission, told the Reds, in issuing the demand, that the United States was “convinced” these men were in Communist hands. and “we still consider them as not having been accounted for in a satisfactory manner. _ The Reds, in turn, charged that there are over 90,000 Communists still being held by the United Nations Com- mand and they have been insisting on information about these men. Admiral Britain informed the Communists recently that the United Nations would give the Com- munists all available information on the 98,739 captives the Reds say the U. N. command is still holding. . We do not believe the Communists will account for the 526 U. S. soldiers stil] listed as missing, since we sus- pect most of them were murdered in typical Communist fashion. There is even less chance that any of the 2;264 South Korean soldiers will be accounted for. The United States, in keeping this issue alive, is mainly pointed up to all the world Communist brutality and barbarianism.

Shoestrings yy fa not publish Nobody can criticize the ferry company too much for the situa- tion, but the “City of Key West” was greeted in Cardenas with com- plete and utter confusion. Nobody really cared, though. They were having too much fun. Real reason for the confusion, we understand, was the size of the crowd that there was to welcome us.” It created a tremendous traf- fic jam. Just before we docked, we were told to go to the city hall where a party had been arranged. Trouble was, nobody told us where the city hall was located or | how to get there. The crowd continued to mill a- round, adding to the confusion. A | taxi or bus couldn’t have reached us, had it tried. And it is about a mile from the, dock into the city. Most of us did the only obvious thing — we started to walk down | the road into town. About halfway | there, we managed to hail a‘cab. Our fractured Spanish was rather | ineffective and the driver misun- derstood the directions we gave) him. Result: We ended up right back | at the ship. Finally, we managed to get! straightened out and on the way | into Cardenas. The streets were lined with people. They were ex- pecting .a parade. Trouble was, the official party was scattered so far that they nev- er did get back into formation in time for a parade. But Gus Ayala and his musicians in the ship’s band took care of that situation. They gave them a parade, all right. Gus and his musicians (Jimmy Gamble, Tom Whitley and Jimmy Vagnini) managed to commandeer a beautiful baby-blue convertible. Now Gus, as many of you pro- bably know, has the appearance of a very dignified gentleman. He could easily pass for a congress- | man or a bank president — or a| mayor. Somehow, word got around} athong the good burghers of Car- denas that Gus was the Myor of | Key West. Never a man to start) an argument, Gus did nothing to dispel the belief. As long as he was being accused of being the Mayor, he figured he might as well play 2£444444444444444444444464444A444444, SS PARTNERS IN.CRIME UNSCRUPLOUS LAWYERS Seep neereeseenaesenpeeeyeee nae CVV VV IVI IV VOW IVC T TTT TTT Verve rereres | Saurday. It was this: “Who cares how long the trip takes —we’re having fun.” As for Cardenas, a city some- what larger than Key West, the most impressive thing about it was the air of antiquity and the warmth and friendliness of its people. At first a lot of the visitors were uncomfortable because of the way they were stared at when they walked down the street. Then, they realized that an American is some- thing of an oddity there. More than one visitor was embarrassed when he went to pay | his check in a restaurant and found some resident of Cardenas had al- | ready taken care of it. The city is that grateful because they know they will prosper from the advent | of ferry’ service. | Cardenas is an old town. Its The Ground By JIM COBB than one pretty girl was bussed by the bogus mayor. “Thank you, thank you, my friends,” he said repeatedly as the Procession wound its way through the city. Little girls tossed flowers at Gus and his musicians began to look at him with more respect than they do when he ison the band- stand. When the convertible reached ci- ty hall, Gus said: ‘““You know, that streets are narrow and cluttered with pushcarts, automobiles and horse - drawn hansom cabs. Its architecture is imposing. Its plaza is beautiful and bounded by two fine old hotels, La Europa and La Dominica — and an ultra - mod- ern new bank building. The -food is wonderful — and very reasonable.

EOPLE’S FORUM | The Citizen welcomes of the views of its read- ers, but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which considered libelous or unwarranted, y should be ind bore on one side Pape the AGREES WITH WILLIAMS Editor, The Citizen: I think Bill William’s piece in Saturday's Forum was just fine. I feel the same way about church as he does, The informal and semi-formal are careless ways. On the other hand, I don’t think a person has to live in a church and spend hour after hour there in order to be a good Christian, I think whoever named ten people who they believed to be good Christians, that was published lately, should have édded Bill William’s name. E Respectfully, DLR. DIFFERENT IDEA Editor, The Citizen: I see by your suggestion in your paper that you would like to name the new stadium after Mr. H. O’Bryant. Now this to me doesn’t seem just right. True, he might have made some trips to Washington to plead for money for our schools and succeeded in doing many won- derful things for the school. This should not be over- looked but Mr. O’Bryant, on the other hand, never gave | our students of the Key West High an encouraging thought | to play football until the last few years, So in closing I would like to suggest a few of the fol- | lowing names that I think would be more deserving for | the boys that play and fight on it. . The Key West High Stadium Conch Stadium City Stadium There are a lot of names possible. Why not suggest a few and let the “Conchs” fill in a form through your paper. That would give everyone a right,to choose which name they think is deserving. Sincerely, Miss Donnie Creel REFRESHING TOPIC Editor, The Citizen: I have been a subscriber to The ‘Key West Citizen for about forty years, and this is the first time I ever wrote to you to tell you how much I like my paper. I think we all get tired of war news and so religious | topics are like a breath of fresh air after a sultry day. Bill Gibb and Bill Williams both gave us a nice talk on religion. I sometimes go to the Glad Tidings Tabernacle on Petronia St. and sometimes to the Churches of God. A good preacher who is a man ofiGod watches over his members like a mother hen watche§*éver her brood of | chicks. If one member misses church more than once he | soon finds out the reason. If there is ever any misunderstanding among the members of his,church he loses no time getting to see if he can straighten matters out. He gets down on his knees and prays with them if they have succumbed to the temp- tations of the devil. If there is death or sickness in the home, he makes many visits to aid and comfort their physical and spiritual hunger, That is my idea of true religion. It matters more than what you wear or the manner in which you worship. Formal, semi-formal or informal. It is what is in one’s heart that counts, not lengthy lip service at a beautiful altar, as some preachers are wont to d0—and then forget their little flock until another Sabbath_rolls around. In my opinion, L. Wayne Pitts, preacher at the Glad Tidings Tabernacle is such a man. He preaches for God, to save souls and not for wealth or prestige. Sincerely, A Church-goer, E. G. FLUORIDE AND RATS Editor, The Citizen: | On September 9, 1954, the Monroe County Medical Society went on record as stating that 1 PPM sodium fluoride added to drinking water was “safe.” Readers of The Citizen would like to know if the following testimony of a laboratory research scientist, regarding cancer, has any bearingvon the case. Lillian Van DeVere, trained at College of Physicians and Surgeons; refresher course at Harvard; registered bacteriologist New York State .. . Laboratory research and routine laboratory tests in private laboratories and hospitals . . . bacteriology-serology-biochemistry-clinical pathology and tissue work (has written a textbook on fluoridation, not yet published - it is in Library of Con- gress), testifying before the Interstate and Foreign Com- merce Committee in May, 1954, had this to say in regards | to experiments with sodium fluoride: “In... experiments with white rats which had can- cer transplants (from Dr. Woglam and Francis Carter Wood of Columbia University), we used distilled water for control animals and fluoridated water containing 10 PPM, 5 PPM, and 1 PPM. Results showed more rapid growth of neoplasm (cancer) in the rats which drank the fluoridated water in all dilutions; with metastisis more generalized. Testicular cancer grew most rapidly, the in- traperitoneal — x — growth was not as fast. Cancerous growth developed faster-and larger than in the control rats which drank distilled water. Some of the rats which drank fluoridated water died after-2 months; others de- veloped marked emanciation until death.” The experiment proved that cancer growth was accelerated by ingestion of sodium fluoride.

Amer- ican businessmen, especially those connected with automobile and tractor firms, also are anxious, It is understood that Moscow | Proposed to make a loan to meet | the cost of installing and equipping the steel plant and that this land | would be repayable in Indian ru- | Pees at 2% per cent interest over ja 10-year period. Western diplo- | mats here say India will probably accept. Authorities here refuse to dis- close details of the offer. But it is generally believed the plant will cost the equivalent of 152 million dollars. This figure compares te the more than 180 million dollars in economic and technical assis- tance the United States has given India during the past three years, with another 80 millions expected in the current year. In a single project, therefore, Russia has effected the impression it is offering India more than half as much as the United States has given in four years. The fact American help has been in out- right grants and Russian aid is expected to be in interest-bearing loans has been lost on many If- dians. Their newspapers tell them Russia is “supplying” the plant, and there is little or no reference to loan terms.
