KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY


Heavy winds have interfefed
with the operations of the sponge
fishermen for the past few weeks
and the best sponging beds in the
vicinity have been so covered with
muddy residue that taking the
growths was impossible. Prac-
tically all of the spongers will
start for home in a few days and
their catches win not be much less
than they anticipated. Sales are
expected to be good and the mar
ket demand will be supplied, it is
said.
The report is going the rounds
that city council will not be able
to sell the delinquent tax books of
the city, for this reason or that
reason, even though hundreds of
citizens have signed the petition
requesting that they be sold. One
citizen said today that in other
cities of Florida the books are
sold, so why not in Key West.
am not a lawyer, said another, but
/ know that just as sure as two
and two are four that if other
cities can sell the books Key West
can.
. One of the sanitary inspectors
reports that the activity of one
person is bringing results in the
elimination of dogs that are home
less or are allowed by owners to
prowl the streets. This inspector
told The Citizen that in his rounds
this morning he had encountered
AZ dead ones and expected that
the movement will continue foi
some time as the field for thi:
kind of healthy and sanitary worl
lis large. He estimates that there
are probably more than 1000 dog.
THAT roam the streets at night
making the hours hideous. Tc
Iput these along with the Al fount
killed this morning, will be one
of the best things that ever hap
pened in Key West, he said.

FACES TASK
Many Difficult Problems To Be
Settled Between Russia And
United States.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90 - The
Soviet Union IS new ambassador,
Alexander Troyanovsky, 81, will face
a multitude of difficult problems on
his arrival here in December.
Outstanding tasks confronting
him include settlement of debts
and counter-claims and arrange
ments of American long-term cred
it's for financing Soviet purchases.
He has had rich experience as a
business executive. AS vice chair
man of the Soviet state planning
commission, he has been intimate
ly associated with Russia's new
deal.
Troyanovsky only previous di-
plomatic post as Soviet ambassador
to Toxic, leaves no doubt that he
might think politically in terms of
the Orient, particularly of Japan.
He will bear Stalin'S instructions
to bring about the closest possible
collaboration with the United States
in the far east.
Troyanovsky is likely to sound
out the administration with a view
to negotiating a Soviet-American
non-aggression pact. This recalls
that one of the last agreements
the United States concluded with
George Bakhemetev, tsarist ambas-
sador, was ironically a treaty for
the advancement of peace, signed
at Washington two nights after war
began sweeping across Europe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. NU

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. W.P
AS the NRA entered its sixth
month of operation, code enforce
ment emerged today as one of its
most serious problems.
The problem has occupied much
of Administrators Hugh S. Johnson's
time since his western speaking
tour. He is working on a plan for
coping with it.
While Johnson has refused to be
drawn into a discussion OF his in
tentions. it was believed today that
he would work through trade assc-
Citations and code authorities in an
effort to make industry regulate it,
self and bring the recalcitrants TO
terms.
In this connection the United
States Chamber of Commerce
adopted a resolution urging less in
reference by the NRA, and more
power for code authorities in the
administration Of codes.
Johnson gained an influential al
ly when Roger Babson, in special
NRA letter TO his clients warned,
against reluctance to help anG

hesitated to honor the check.
But when BiXler attempted to
demolish the structure, caretakers

studied a comprehensive outline Of
the Cuban political situation that
was placed before him by AmbaS-
sador Sumner Welles.

officials.

of Welles and the President were
informative and would not lead to
a chance IN tie administration S
present policy of giving the island
republic every opportunity to set
tie its own political difficulties.
At the same time, it was revealed

his state department conferences.
At the conclusion of his study of
Cuban affairs, Mr.. Roosevelt plan
ned to take life easy on the spacious
