KEY WEST, Aug. 1O.-There
can be no doubt even to the most
casual bystander that there has
been fantastic change of mood
in this island city since July 2
when the members of the city
council of Key West declared
themselves in state of emer-
gency and petitioned the governor
to take over all their legal powers.
But it will be the special job
of this bystander to try and see
what lies under the animation,
and to try to hear something,
perhaps of great contemporary
significance, under the hammer
ing and saving that has suddenly
converted a stranded, forgotten
population into a spectacle upon
which the eyes of the world are
turned.
When the Key Westers were
asked to join a volunteer work
corps inaugurated with the imme-
diate view of cleaning up and
identifying Key West in order
to make it self-sustaining tourist
center, they were, for a while, un-
certain what they were being
asked to do. Although there were
many who came with the attitude
of one negro who signed up with
a hearty: "Ah would do anything
for our PRESIDENT others were
seen in the lines filing into the
FERA offices with rather be-
wildered expression on their
faces: They had simply come to
answer the call. some perhaps re-
membering another call which
they had volunteered to answer
some 20 years ago.
A Helping Hand
The Key Westers now under
stand that a hand is being stretch
ed out to them with a sincerity
and spirit of intimate co-opera-
ton. 1t is now clear to them that
the idea of the federal relief adj
ministrator, Julius f. Stone, JH,,
when he was asked by the COVER
nor to act as his agent in carrying
out the plan of general rehabilita-
ton for the bankrupt city, was to
capitalize the unique atmosphere
and beauty for tourist center in
order to put the Key Westers on
their own feet.
AS the relief administration
funds could not be used for this
purpose with the relief clients
forming 80 per cent of the pop
ulation-and one does not think

HENRY THOMPSON
RETURNS TO MIAMI
WITH RACE HONORS
PARTICIPATED IN REGATTA
PUT ON BY LARcHMoNT
YACHT CLUB; BARBARA
NAME OF CRAFT ENTERED

Appearing in a recent issue OF
The Miami Herald was an article
pertaining to Henry Thompson.
who recently returned to Miami
from the east, where he obtained
honors in the Larchmont Yacht
Club race with his speedy little
craft, Barbara.
The article in part follows:
Competing in unknown waters
may bring fear to some shippers,
but to Vice Commodore Henry S.
Thompson, owner of the fleet sail
boat, Barbara, and Wayne Gum,
youthful Miami skipper, it's just
anotherSday. another race and
more honors.
"Vice Commodore Thompson
and Skipper Gum are back in Mi
ami and, if you have any doubt
of the thrills connected with sail
boat racing it is suggested you
spend few minutes listening to
the details of their recent trip
East to compete in the Larchmont
Yacht club racing. The two Mi
amians turned in brilliant per-
Torrance at Larchmont where,
matched against fleet of the ma
tons best snipe boats, they cap
tured runnerup honors in the re-
gatta series from July Ia to II.
with the Barbara dashed to a
trailer, Vice Commodore Thomp-
son and Skipper Gum left Miami
one morning before receiving
greeting from the sun. Space does
not permit the recital of the
thrilling experiences" along the
1.500-mile trip as they maneuver-
ed automobile and the trailer with
it's cargo through the heavy traf-
fic of Washington, Philadelphia,
New York and other cities along
the way. 1t is enough to report
that all arrived safely.
"Viee Commodore Thompson,
usually quiet, modest gentle
man, became voluble yesterday
when he told Of the hospitality
and friendship extended by Of
ficials of the Larchmont and New
Rochelle Yacht Clubs. As visiting
shippers from Miami, they were
given special praise for their long
overland trip and full club priv
ileges. This is an item that our
regatta officials can place at the
head of the list as it brings valu-
able returns to city where yacht
ing and boating are important
parts of sports and business pro-
grams.
"The Larchmont racing saw Mi
ami's lone entry, Barbara, off to
flying start the opening day for
first-place award. The little
snipe won from wire to wire or
four minutes ahead of the second
craft. The second days racing
developed into a spirited two-boat
race between the Barbara and w.
F. Crosby's snipe of New Rochel-
le."

man, under the leadership of Mrs. Oscar Oberg, Mrs. Frank Olson and Mrs. Olaf Flubergson gave him a surprise farewell party at the Odd Fellows Hall Wednesday night. More than eighty gathered to wish Carlson a pleasant journey back to the old country. There was danc- ing to music furnished by Olga Peterson, Martin Antinsen and Frank Olson, and delicious sup per. Then, with Judge H. B. Le- Fevre making esenta ti o n speech, Curley was given sizable sum of money as going away gift. For Carlson is going to Sweden and back at his own expense, just to get his papers all strengthened out, and the purse will probably come in handy before the long journey is over.
 May l is the time set for Carl on to leave the United States. He is making one more trip to the halibut banks, and then he will be on his way. He is leaving many friends in Alaska who will be awaiting his return.

CURLEY CARLSON GOES BACK HOME TO RENTER J. s.
Friends of Popular Fisher man Give Him Farewell
 Party Before Long Trip

Through no fault of his own, un- less it was ignorance of the law John Ludwig Carlson, fish buyer for Ernest Swanson of Port AL thorp, has spent the last eight years in Alaska illegally. Now he is going back to Sweden, get his proper entry arranged, and come back to Alaska again, as a citizen of Sweden.
 "Curley" Carlson has become one of the most popular young fisher men in Southeastern Alaska since he came to the country in 1926. He arrived in the United States as a sailor in 1924 His ship en- tered this country at Port Allen, T. H. then sailed to Portland, Ore gon. There the crew was exam ined by doctors No questions were asked regarding citizenship The crew was allowed to go ashore and Curley left the ship at Port land.
 Citizenship Not Questioned
 Two years later he came to AL aska. No one had ever questioned his citizenship, and Curley didn't know that he had no right to be in the United States. He made many friends here, and prospered as a fisherman. Two years ago he went from Ketchikan to Prince Ru- pert aboard a halibut boat, and when the boat re-entered the Unit ed States, immigration authorities at Ketchikan asked the usual ques- tions, and Curley and the authori- ties found out that Curley had no status here at all either as citi- zen of Sweden, or of the United States. It has taken many months to get things strengthened out, and now Carlson is going back to Swe- den again, and will be allowed to enter this country legally as soon as he returns with the proper pass ports.
