As nearly as can be judged here,
voter reaction to Roosevelt is
neither as enthusiastic as it was
nor, on the other hand, seriously
antagonistic. Rather, it seems in
state of suspended animation.

whelmingly, is that they didn't lose
anywhere near as much by tile vote
as they supposed.
The original 5000 month PEN
sion proposal was sunk with the
introduction of the McGroarty bill
which was popularity supposed to
contain it, but which provided only
a 2 per cent transaction tax and
would merely have produced an
estimated s4,OOO,OOO,OOO and
monthly pension of $50 for elisf
bleS.
That was pretty we'll understood
in Washington, but numerous re
ports here indicated that Townsend
plan propagandists through the
country were still telling followers
that there had been no materla
change in the bill.
Thus there may have been mil
lions who thought they were los
ing 5000 month when the ious'

1t was the gloomiest time Of

But he had to go on living. So
he dragged his bruised sensibili-

was given one as a salesman.
Battered by the humping ex-

he drifted along in a mediocre

sold more goods. His salary was

store right now if we didn't fear
that we mieht be left stranded.
They do some funny things up
there in Washington sometimes,
and nobody knows whether the
federal government will decide
some day to pick up and get out
of here. If they do, it means the
end of Key West"
Pierce thinks this autumn will
tell the story. The American who
makes an average salary-$4000
to $4,000 a year-who puts his
family in the car and gets away
for a three-week trip each win
ter, holds the power of life and
death over Key West. If he stays
away, Key West will die.
The FERA estimated it would
cost about $S,000,0o0 to move
Key Vests population to other
parts of the country where there
would be more opportunity to
earn a living.
The relief program calls for
the expenditure of $2,COO,OOO
over five years. If the tourist
experiment fails, the government
will have to place this towns
citizens on straight relief-the
dole-and that is the thing FERA
wants to avoid.
Officials think they already
have built up morale to the point
where people are willing to work
rather than loaf in the sun and
let the federal government sup
port them. No one wants to make
the admission that mankind has
bungled the business Of living to
such an extent that people must
be moved out of this country
where nature is so warm and gen
erous that Key West has never
seen frost.

Uncle Sam Entered Night

ms in eight months ago, there
would be S4,00O,000 American
citizens on relief rolls.
Four out of five inhabitants of
this town were restitute and the
ordinary formulas for relief work
had to be strapped. That ex-
plains why Uncle Sam struck out
boldly. and found himself in the
surprising position of being a
sort of partner in the night club
business.
Key West is stalking everything
on attracting tourists, tourists
like night clubs. New York has
it's "boon-doggling" = people on
relief rolls who get paid for do
ing eurythmis dancing and for
engaging in research on the his
tory of safety pins. But no where
else in the United States is the
FERA encouraging wine, women
and song.
Two night clubs-Rauls and
the Habana- Madrid-Are operat-
! ing here. The FERA lent money
to Raul Vasquez, sent murals
out to decorate his walls and en-
couraged him to repaint the
place. Jaun Carbonell, owner of
the Habana-Madrid, also began to
spruce up under the encourage
ment of FERA. Last evening 80
couples danced across his tiled
floor, spent money for his rum
drinks and applauded his orches-
ira. Night life is on the boom.
The FERA admits this is not an
Iunmixed blessing. There are some
persons who are spending their
relief monev on liquor when thew
should be buying bread. But no
body knows any other answer
than to try to attract tourists.
This is why hard-headed business
men and conservative citizens
are not complaining when FERA
