To begin with, Morrison was the Commanding Of- ficer of Ploss while both were at- tached as medical officers at the Naval Base. : Mutual respect of each other’s abilities as well as a mutual liking of the town, caused them to de- cide to open up a general prac- tice in Key West.

He gained his AB at Wofford Col- lege and his MD at the Medical . College of South Carolina. (Inci- dentally, that’s the third oldest medical school in the U.S.—es- tablished in 1824.) Morrison served in the Navy dur- ing World War II and was assign- ed at various times to both the lo- cal Navy Hospital and the Navy Base Dispensary. He was discharged in ’53 and ac- cepted an appointment to head up the Monroe County Public Health Service in January of °54, He. and his wife, aret, have built their home in Key West. They have a married daughter and one grandchild living in Massachusetts and a son, C. W. Morison, Jr., stu- dying medicine at Emory Univer- sity in Atlanta. ‘i 8 of Dr. Ploss Dr, W. R. Ploss is originally from Buffalo, N. Y. He and his wife, Lois, have two boys — ages 6 and 9. Ploss graduated from the Uni- versity of Buffalo as a dentist. He practiced this profession for four years, (most of the time in the Navy). Following his discharge, he decided he would like to become an MD so he returned to the Uni- versity of Buffalo. After gradua- tion with this added degree, he -spent 13 months in surgical resi- dency until the Navy again beck- oned with an impervious finger for his services. Dr, Ploss says, “I guess I’m the only guy who ever served two hit- ches in the Navy — once as a den- tist and the second time, as a doc- tor!” While he prefers ear, nose, and throat work, Ploss intends to settle cown into a general practice here in Key West. He and Morrison have a large office at 1019 Flag- ler, The spacious building will also house their laboratory. Mrs. Pa- tricia Brown, of Perky, is their re- ceptionist.

Fulbright Is Skeptical About Seriousness Of McCarthy’s Elbow Trouble; Debate Delayed By FRED S. HOFFMANN WASHINGTON #® — Sen. Fal- bright (D-Ark) says he doubts Sen. McCarthy’s elbow trouble is “quite as serious as we were led to believe” when the Senate ‘ast week suspended debate on censure charges against the Wisconsin Republican while. he underwent hospital treatment. “It seems to me,” Fulbright said yesterday. during a television inteview, “that this delay is cer- ‘tainly consistent with an effort to prevent any vote at all.’ Debate on the censure charges— which Fulbright helped initiate— was broken off last week until next Monday when Dr. George W. Cai- ver, Capitol physician, reported McCarthy had developed “‘trau- matic bursitis” after his elbow was injured in a Milwaukee handshak. ing accident. McCarthy has been undergoing treatment at the Bethesda Naval Hospital. The hospital reported yesterday his condition continues satisfactory. “This isn’t the first time that he’s reported to the hospital when he’s in an embarrassing posiion,’ said Fulbright.

Flaunting the welcome, Palance takes a segment of his tribe on a warpath and after wreaking much havoc, he offers to | meet the Army to discuss peace. Again there is an ambush and from there on in, “Arrowhead” is} the fisherm: an exeiting series of clashes which culminate in a brutal hand - to- hand, unarmed duel between Hes- ton and Palance, with Heston em- erging victorious.

Windle, visited with her in an apartment here and police said today they were dnpertigating the possibility of sui- ie. Police Chief Roland R. Kelley said a note found in Miss Baker’s pocket indicated she was thinking about taking her own life. A bottle of pills found in the apartment was sent to a laboratory for an- alysis. Windle told police he was talking with Miss Baker on the sun porch ot the apartment when she sudden- ly fell out of her chair. He said she had complained of a headache and her nose was bleeding when he picked her up and carried her inside to the bed. The attorney said he called the landlord and the latter summoned a doctor. who pronounced Miss Baker dead.
