Evening University Classes Cut From Two To One A Week: University of Miami even- ing classes will convene once a week instead of twice be- cause Meacham Airport is not lighted for night opera- tions, it was learned today. Richard E. Griener, of 77 Maine Road, who has worked to bring the classes to Key West, quoted Dan Steinhoff, Jr., dean of the evening division, as saying the instructors could afford to fly to Key West only once weekly. Griener said the dozen profes- sors will fly here on National Air- lines last afternoon flight. How- ever, they can not fly back that might because night operations are not authorized at Meacham Air- port. It means the instructors will stay here overnight and return to Mia- mi the next morning. A half - million dollar improve- ment program is in the works for Meacham Airport, including lights for night operations. The completion date aimed for is June 1. Griener said the courses very likely will continue on a once - weekly basis until next fall. Students for the evening division classes are to convene at the Key West High School Friday, Feb. 11, for the first time. Registration will be at the admin- istration building of the Board of Public Instruction, 310 Fleming Street from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. from Jan. 10 through Jan. 21. Veterans taking courses under the GI Bill should register Jan. 17 from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. The college credit courses re- quire 15 students before classes can be scheduled; the general edu- cation courses, 20 students. The following courses will be held if 15 students register. Each course is worth three credits. These classes will meet from 7:15 p. m, to 9:50 p. m.

Evers- burg, 55, screamed last night in a downtown cafeteria. “Somebody stole my teeth.” While forks paused in mid-air, Mrs. Eversburg shoved about five or six chairs against the entrance and announced tu about 30 cus- tomers and the hired help: “Not one of you is leaving until I get my teeth back.” She was persuaded to desert her bastion, but she telephoned police. About 50 persons gathered on the sidewalk. Mrs. Eversburg said she had put her $85 upper plate in a napkin before dinner. When she preapred to leave, the teeth were missing. An hour’s search by police and the management failed to locate them. Mrs. Eversburg went home. Tallahassee Rape Report Was Hoax TALLAHASSEE (#—The report- ed rape of a 16-year-old girl here Sunday was a hoax, Sheriff W. P. Joyce and Police Chief Frank Stoutamire said yesterday. Cuts and bruises on the girl were self inflicted, the sheriff and chief said, and investigation de- termined the whole incdent “‘was a hoax perpetrated by the minor as the brainchild of a vivid imagi- nation.” The girl had reported a man grabbed her as she passed a va- cant lot, hit her on the head with a bottle, ripped off her clothes and attacked her. There were cuts and bruises on her face and ab- domen.

Such an amount would be slight- ly more than the $2,780,000,000 Congress provided this year for grants, loans and arms shipments to more than 40 friendly govern- ments. President Eisenhower probably will unveil the new program in his budget message Jan. 17. In- formed officials reported govern- ment agencies have decided Con- gress should be asked to appro- priate between 3 and 3% billion dollars. The State, Treasury and Defense departments and the For- eign Operations Administration are expected to agree within the next week on a firm figure and also be allocated by regions. Any request for three billion dol- lars or more would certainly face critical scrutiny in Congress, For- eign aid programs have been trimmed considerably in recent years, and several key Congress members have said they will op- pose any new funds for strictly economic aid. Officials helping to draft the new program said it would seek to channel mést of the U.S. dollars to the Far East but that it does not contemplate any massive assis- tance similar to the postwar Marshall Plan for Western Europe. A modest increase in Asian economic aid, however, will be sought, officials said, on the theory that it is urgent to improve living standards if the peoples there are to resist communism, Bid For Closer NATO Ties Set For’55 WASHINGTON #—Two Demo- cratic senators said today Con- gress will be asked early next year to consider a formal bid for closer ties between North Atlantic na- Some $1,478,00,000 worth of for- eign aid was allocated to the Far East and Pacific nations last year but less than one third of this went for economic: and technical aid. The rest was spent for military assistance to Formosa, Indochina, Korea and other nations. Foreign aid to Western Europe, which dropped to about 25 per cent of all funds in the last program approved by Congress, is expected to remain at about the same levei under present planning. Authorities said most of this money goes for special programs in Spain. Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia. The rest of Western Europe, while sched- uled to get virtually none of the new money to be sought, will con- tinue to receive military shipments and some economic help from money previously appropriated by Congress, officials said.
