GOMEZ WRITES
lands ABOUT
PARK MATTER
SEEKS INFORMATION RELA-
TIVE To STATUS effect
ING MONROE COUNTY IN
ITS ESTABLISHMENT

State Senator Arthur Gomez
has written Attorney General
Cary ID. Lands asking for certain
information relative to the pro
posed Everglades National Park
area and the effect its establish
ment along the lines proposed viii
have on Monroe county.
In his letter to the attorney
general, Senator Gomez points
out that there are approximately
6OO,7E0 acres in Monroe county,
and the portion asked for the Ever
glades National Park is approx
mately 561,057 acres which viii
leave about 1868 acres of tax
able land, including property, in
Monroe county.
The two points which Senator
Gomez stressed are:
What will be the effect on
Monroe county as to the ALLEGATION
of gasoline tax money which is
based on acreage, population and
bonded debt. The other is the eff
fleets, if any, the park acreage as
signment would have on the bond
refunding proposition now being
brought to the point of cOnsump-
ton, between the county and the
r. E. drummer company.
Before leaving for Tampa yes
terday afternoon the senator said
he was anxiously awaiting a reply
to his letter, as these are two of
the most salient factors in the
Everglades National Park PROPOSE
ton affecting Key West and Mon
roe county.

PHERNALIA AT CHICHO'S
PLACE. ON DUVAL STREET

Chicho's place on Duval STREET
near the old Fourth of July coffee
shop was the scene of a visitation
last night by Chief Deputy Sher-
Tiff Bernard Waite and Deputy Ray
ElwOod.
Chief Waite said he saw a num-
Der of pieces of paper hung on a
line and became curious to know
what they were. His investigation
showed them to be lottery tickets
end being displayed in much the
same manner as they are in GER
tani sections of Havana.
He not only saw the tickets bet
an arrangement which looked like
a small umbrella with gay decora-
tions,, artistically marked in Sec
tions with numbers on the differ
ent colored parts. There was also
an arrangement which allowed the
umbrella" to be spun around on
a spindle, a device TO SLOW down
the apparatus and an indicator to
determine what number stopped at
certain spot.
Although it was not raining at
the time, Chief Waite decided the
umbrella" could be used in other
ways, principally as evidence, and
decided to take it along with the
lottery and bolito tickets, and a
certain sum in cash, also as evil
dence.
To conclude a perfect evening
the proprietor, whose name was
given as Pedro P. Romero, was ar
rested and placed under bond of
500 to appear for preliminary
hearing.

The declaration of Governor
Landon decrying laws which re-
quire teachers to take loyalty
oaths made at Chautauqua, New
York, attracted additional sig
nificance when Secretary Ickes. in
radio speech, read court docu-
ments which, he said, showed that
Mr.. Hearst was the "boss" of the
Republican Party and that Mr..
Landon was his candidate. The
point was made that the passage
of laws requiring teachers to take
loyalty oaths has been a pet pro-
ject of the Hearst newspapers and
the Landon statement was held
up to prove his independence of
the Hearst control.

Schacht Pulls Wires For
Dictator Hitler's Big Deals
President Of Reichsbank
And Minister Of Eco
Monies Is Virtually Fl
nancial Dictator
(By Associated PreSSD

my ASSOcIated PreSSD
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The
man behind the gun in many of
Nazi Dictator Hitler's recent far.
reaching political and economic
moves among neighboring states
has been DIR. Hjalmar Schacht,
credited with welding more power
in Germany than any other save
Der Fuehrer himself.
Through his position as presi-
dent of the Reichsbank and min
lister of economics, DIR. Schacht is
virtually financial and economic
dictator of the Fatherland, always
remembering that there is only
one real boss in Germany-.AdoIf
Hitler. Schacht, who stands ace.
high with his chief, is known as
one German who can criticize the
government more than once and
not come a cropper. He speaks
his mind so freely on all subjects
that Old Line Nazis frequently
cringe at his ''heresy" but Hitler
just smiles.
lSchacht is fond of telling the
world he has nothing to do with
politics; he is just a plain finan-
cial and economics chap. How
ever, he has had a big hand in the
private negotiations which Euro
pean diplomats think are tending
towards an Austro-Italo- German
alliance.
The other day, too, the doctor
took himself in his famous two
story white collar to Paris to as
sure France that she had nothing
to fear from Germany's lengthen-
ing of military service which
would greatly increase the size of
her army. Having delivered this
message, DR.. Schacht is reported
to have told French ministers that
the best way to cope with German
miiltarism was to aid economic re-
Mobilization of the Reich.
Travels For Hitler
1t is reported he also attempted
to persuade. France to break off
her alliance with Russia in favor
of an arrangement. with Germany
In any event, Premier Blum, of
France, was SAID TO have replied
his government would join in any
conversations which might facili-
tate Europe'si economic, financial
and political problems.
DR.. Schacht has been doing a
deal of journeying about in other
places on confidential missions
for Hitler. The minister's bluff
and apparently open-handed way
of doing things, coupled with his
admitted capabilities, carry him a
long way.
When Schacht has made up his
mind to thing, he smashes
straight for it unmindful of con-
sequences.
He is an intense nationalist,
like his master, and applies the
nationalistic principles to his
operations in finance and eco
Monies. The minister is 80 years
old. When he isn't involved in
high finance he likes to raise

Completing his first campaign
tour OF the East, Governor Lam
don is preparing to take the road
again this month for a trip ten
tatively expected to include Hi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Missouri. In adj
dition, his headquarters indicate
that second eastern swing will
be made during the latter half of
October, with speaking engage
ments at the principal cities and a
wind-up rally in New York City.
1t is possible that the Republican
nominee will also swing to the
Pacific Coast before closing his
campaign.

was in the East, President Roose-
welt continued his tour of the
Great Plains States, Ito see with
my own eyes," what the drought
has done. Although the President
insisted that it was not political
journey, the trip undoubtedly pos
sessed political value. The high,
light, of course, was the meeting
with the group of governors, in
Guiding Alf NJ. Landon, of Kan
sas, to discuss the drought prob
lem. The meeting, originally
scheduled early last week was
postponed when the President al
tered his plans in order to attend
the funeral of Secretary of War
George H. Dern, in Salt Lake

Efforts to find out how the
farmers are going to vote are be-
ing made by The Farm Journal,
published at Philadelphia, The
American Press and number of
small town newspapers and by
another group of papers in the
agricultural area. The Farm
Journals survey gave Landon
SIS, Roosevelt Alt and Repre-
sentative Lemke So per cent of
the farm vote. The early returns
of The American Press straw vote
gave Landon sos, Roosevelt 42.3

suggestion on to the Republican

that the Democrats "have moth

Readers of this column are
probably interested in the out
comes of the various polls of pub
lie sentiment now being conduct
ed. 1t is our intention, from week
to week, to call attention to as
many as are available. Recently
the Institute of Public Opinion
attempted to gauge the shifting
of 1882 voters and came to the
conclusion that the New Deal has
lost about 100000 of its 1892
voters but has gained about q
100000 of those who favored the
Hoover-Curtis ticket four years
ago. In other words, 20 per cent
of 1882 Roosevelt voters have de-
serted and thirteen per cent of
1882 Republican voters are now
supporting the New Deal. Ac-
cording to the answers given on
the ballots in the poll "extrava-
gance" is cited as the main reason
for the shift of New Deal sup
porters.

The idea that effective opposi-
ton to the Roosevelt Administra-
ton existed in the South has been
largely dissipated by the results
of recent primaries, which are
equivalent to election. Four of the
New Deals leaders have faced
primary opposition and each have
won with ample votes to spare.
The defeat of any one of these men
would have been blow to the
Roosevelt prestige, because each
holds a position of leadership in
Congress.

Subsequent figures from this
poll, when it includes a more rep
resentative total, will be inter
esting. Results may be compared
with a poll being conducted by a
group of newspapers associated
with the Western Newspaper
Union, a syndicate serving thou
sands of small town papers, with
service of printed newspaper
pages. AZ
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-09-09

The same Institute noted a
slight shift of votes to Roosevelt
in mid August. Previously, the
Institute indicated that Governor
Landon, on August 9th, would
have, had an Electoral College
majority of 81, although running
nearly five per cent behind the
President in popular votes. How
ever, the results on August 23rd
showed that the President would
have majority of 10 as well as
a majority of the popular vote.
The. Institute listed New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and
Michigan as crucial states, saying
that Landon is likely to be de-
feated if he drops any one of
them. Four of them are "for
Landon,' according to the poll
but Michigan has shifted to the
New Deal column.

In what many commentators
consider the most important
speech yet made by Governor
Landon, the Kansan attacked the
fiscal policies of the Roosevelt
Administration, charging waste
and extravaganza and laying
down certain fundamental prin.
ciples of government finance. He
insisted that the government must
guard and preserve ITS source OF
income, get dollars worth fol
every dollar spent, avoid the habit
of spending more than it receives
and prepare for a rainy day.

Particularly assailmg the Adj
acknowledgements tax on
undistributed corporation earn
ings, Mr.. Landon termed it the
most cockeyed piece of legisla-
ton ever imposed in a modern
country" and pledged himself to
its repeal. The legislative tax
provides, among other things, fol-
surtaxes on the undistributed net
income OF corporations ranging
from seven to twenty-seven pei
cent, depending on the amount not
passed out to stockholders in divi-
dends.

His Invention Saved
Millions For YARD

Frank Hutchinson, retired Navy
Yard employe, will testify to the
truth of the old adage that "neces-
Sity Is the mother Of invention"
Through him, the Federal gov
ernment has saved probably mil
lions Of dollars to say nothing of
the time Of Navy Yard employees.
Entering the yard as an appren-
tice in 1880, Mr.. Hutchinson, who
now lives at 322 D st. S. E., went
to work in the bridge mechanism
shop, and before he retired be-
cause of disability in 1919, he had
seen service in virtually every shop
in the local gun factory.
It was not long after he had en-
tered the yard-about 1899-that
mushrooms for guns made their
appearance. Difficulties arose
however, when in drilling the vent
holes for the mushrooms, the men
found that the hog drills then ir
use often would break off when
they would strike the harder spots
f the steel or would turn and fol
low the soft veins in the steel
thus running the work. He ex
planned:
"They told me to drill the
holes and said that If 1 didn't
drill them straight and follow
instructions, I would be liable to
discharge.
II figured there was a better
way to do the job, and finally
I invented something to do it
perfectly. 1t was the extension
twist drill. I used It and it per-
formed to perfection. 1t is still
in use today in the yard and
has saved the Government mil
lions Of dollars.
''NOt only that, but it has
saved lots of time in this drill
ing work. 1t formerly took two
weeks to drill mushroom, but
with the extension twist drill
they can drill two q day."
He has been retired since 1919,

Any crop insurance program
adopted by the Roosevelt admin

for the consumer and for farm
labor, The Peoples Lobby, headed
by Prof. Colston E. Warne, Of Am
herst College, said yesterday.

several days between Secretary Of
Agriculture wallace and farm
leaders, the statement continued:
ITO be eligible for crop inSur.
ance a farmer should comply

"NO farmer should be per.

SECURITY LAW
TAX SHIFT
SOUGHT
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
Copyright 1885 by international
News Service)

The first proposal for revision
Of the social security law since
the election was made today by
Representative William P. Con-
merry CD Of Massachusetts,, who
said he would introduce a bill
in the Seventy-fifth Congress to
eliminate the pay roll tax for old
age annuities,
AS chairman of the House Labor
Committee, Connery is in position
to call informal hearings to
canvass all labor and social
security programs, although the
program was handled by another
committee. He said:
"T will offer an amendment
to the social security act elim1-
mating the payroll tax and sub
stituting a tax on power used IN
machinery, the tax to be used
for unemployment purposes.
3O-HOUR WEEK BILL
"I also will again introduce
the Connery 3O-hOur week bill,
which licenses all who ship and
receive in interstate commerce"
A wave of proposals for revision
of the social security program was
forecast as the result of the bitter
controversy over the issue in the
closing days of the campaign.
The pay roll tav for old-age an
nuities becomes effective January
l. with employers and 26,000,000
workers each being taxed l per
cent of the payroll. The levy VIE
rise to a maximum of per cent
each.
Since Congress does not convene
until after the first of the year,
only a special session of Congress
can prevent the tax from becom-
ing effective. Revision before col
lection is started is possible.
Resistance Expected
The Administration is expected
to resist drives of minority blocs
to change the law.
Before the election, however,
UnderSecretary of the Interior
Carles West, former White House
contact man with Congress, pre-
dicted that rising sentiment
might force elimination OF the
payroll tax on the workers.
Other proposals for revision
of the social security program
are expected to include:
/. Senator King CD of Utah,
chairman of a special commit
tee, plans to revise the Clark
amendment which would ex-
empt corporations now having
liberal pension plans from the
social security taxes. He is
fearful that corporations may
abandon pension plans now af-
fecting 100000 workers unless
action is taken because they
might be subjected to double
taxation.
2. Senator-Ele deem
(F.L) of Minnesota, who will
leave his house seat to enter
the Senate, will have a wider
field to urge adoption of the
Lundeen workers plan of un-
employment insurance, The
plan backed by the communist
party and left-wing labor or
ganizations, calls for tax levieS
on the wealthy and all making
over $4,000 a year to finance
unemployment insurance.
