MANY PRODUCTS
TURNED OUT BY
SEWING UNITS
NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED
DRESSES MADE READY FOR
DISTRIBUTION IN RELIEF
PROGRAM HERE

Nearly 500 dresses were pro-
duced for distribution to women
on he relief at the WPA main
tanned sewing room at Grinncl.
and Catherine streets. This rec
ord is contained N a report just
compiled, covering the period from
Arri Is to May Is. This COM
pilation is part of a narrative re-
port covering all phases of the
Works Progress Administration in
Key West.
The number of dresses totalled
452 during the monthly period
and addition to them. 276 suits
of underwear were made. four
luncheon sets completed and 20
domestic uniforms were produced.
Products turned out at the
sewing room are distributed 70
relief clients through the local
unit Of the State Board of Social
Welfare. Materials used come
from the Surplus Relief Comno-
dities Administration.
Many of the women employ cd
at the sewing room have learned

Roy drummer. Of the firm of

PRAISES CREW
WHICH HANDLES
PLANES HERE
SHOWN THAT OPERATIVES
AT LANDING BARGE ARE
VERY EFFICIENT IN LINE
OF VARIOUS DUTIES

To the casual observer, the
men who handle the airplanes
! which alight in the yacht basin
and are berthed at the landing,
platform. do a job of work and
that is all TO be said.
But to the man who knows
what handling these costly vessels
Of the air and sea means, and t."
do SO quickly with the least in
convenience to the passengers and
greatest safety to the plane, &
good job means more than the
words imply.
One of the officers who comes
to Key West on the planes from
Miami, speaking to a group OF
friends, said that in the years he
has been in command of an air
ship, he has yet to find a place
where the planes are handled as
efficiently, quickly and as safe
ly as the landing barge in Key
West.
He has on several occasions
been forced to watch the crew or
the barge at Key West. he said,
during heavy winds from the
north IN the winter season, and
at other times when wind and
waves in the yacht basin gave
warning OF the necessity of extra
care, bring the plane to the barge
without a jar, end without damage
TO any part of the machine.
Here the men seem adapted to
the work and go about it in Il
business like manner, as though
they had been accustomed to it
for years, the speaker said, "anC
this has been so from the first da!
we came to Key West"
! t&ink am safe in saying, he
; continued, that at no other place
we touch are the planes handled
as efficiently and as easily as here,
and this is the consensus OF
opinion of all OF the other officers
Of the line who have visited this
port.
Members of the barge crew OF
whom the captain was speaking
are: Edwin Lowe. foreman; Ir;
Thompson, Virgil Higgs, Raymond
, Stirrur. and Scott Sawyer.

the United States last summer

bringing up at Banff, Canada, on
top of the Rocky Mountains from
which place he sent to the state
an expense account of 1929 for
observing racing, 8. F. Patty, can
didate for governor. said here last
night in a street corner address.
Patty, speaking before a large
crowd If Apalachicola citizens
who braved threatening weather
to hear him, used the information
in illustrating his charge that
there is waste in the state gov
eminent.
Il do not apologize as some of
the other candidates in this race
have indicated they do, for advo-
eating economy in our state gov
eminent. We need it," he said.
"Can you imagine it, though" he
asked in continuing his theme, OBJ
serving racing on top of the
Rocky Mountains in Canada out
of the racing season, and charging
the state for it, char.i ing the state
also for travelling about the coun-
try in an airplane to observe rae
ing. "The time of this man must
have been very valuable indeed
or he might have chosen a mode
of travel more economical to the
pocket books Of the hard pressed
tax payers OF Florida" Patty stat
ed.
an another illustration of his
theme, Patty told his audience
that Florida paid more than three
times as much for its auto tags
as did thu state of Alabama, al
though the ta9s were identical
and the stct. of Alabama used
fewer of them. which should have
cost that state more each that did
Florida's tags.
81 am speaking of those So
called theft proof tags known as
the Fortenbercy," Patty said. 81
am informed the state OF Florida
paid 1872 cents for each of these
tags while the state of Alabama
found it possible to get them for
2O2 cents each.
eff this is true, it shows one
of two things; either the depart
ment is so inefficient it could not
obtain these tags as cheaply as the
state of Alabama or else it shows
that someone in connecting with
the deal pocketed a tidy sum of
money!" ne said.
Patty reviewed his platform
planks sharply, attacked the rec
ord of Senator William C. Hodges
and called on the people of Flor
ida to join him in a fight for a
decent honest administration of
Forida's affairs.

r. M. EVANS STATED THAT
HE FOUND INSTITUTIONS
IN KEY WEST TO BE IN
FIRST CLASS CONDITION

Il find the public schools in Key
West in first class condition in
every way, and on par with like
institutions in other sections of
the state, and am CAD to say So"
This was said last night by R.
N. Evans. state school Inspector,
who was in Key West for two
days, and devoted all OF yesterday
to his regular inspection and in
vestigation of the schools and in
struct;On personnel.
Mr.. Evans said he attributed
the generally good condition of
the schools to the efficient admin
istration of Superintendent Melvin
Russell, Principals Horace OBEY
ant, W. C. Duncan. of High
School, Division Street and Har-
ris schools. and Clarence C.
Walker. Jr., of DOUGLASS colored
school.
With the assistance, Of course,
he added, of Clarence H. Pierce,
Allan 3. Cleare, ST., and Ralph
K. johnson, CT the school board
and a capable corps of highly
qualified teachers.
Physical aspects Of the schools,
Mr.. Evans said he found Monroe
High in excellent condition, due
to the recent renovation program
which was authorized but the
cher schools were in need of a
similar program of repairs and
renovation.
Marked progress was shown in
the Douglass school and the ex-
aminer said that Clarence Walk
er, the principal. was due great
credit for his efforts to bring it
Up to standard.
Il have "rarm spot in my
heart for Key West, and always
find pleasure in visiting city
whose hospitality and kindness
have been shown to those OF my
family.
"An uncle of mine, Robert
Martin, paste. Of First Methodist
church about so years ago. is
IL ried in your cemetery. After
his death members Of the congre-
Gstion and their ':iends raised a
fund of $1,000, and that at a
time when money was not plen-
tiful, for Rev. Martins wife with
which to purchase home in Ills
borough county, and for a long
time afterward, whenever oppor-
tunity offered, members of the
congregation would leave Key
West for short visits with their
beloved pastors wife"
Mr., Evans recalled among his
experiences in Key West one of
the first pupils from a Key West
school he ever listed as a student
at Florida State College for Wom-
EN-. This was, he Said, Miss Lcath
Bush.
Concluding his chat with The
Citizen Mr.. Evans said that al
WAYS his visits to Key West were
pleasant and his only regret was
that his stay was necessarily so
short.

WHAT THE STATES OWE
By HUGO SIMS
Special Washington Correspon-

Last week the Administration
Tax Bill ran into difficulties be-
fore the Senate Finance Commit
tee, which was reported hopelessly
divided and considering far-reach-
ing notifications of the measure.
Sentiment developed in favor of n
broadening of the income tax base
and decreased levies. Another OBJ
stacle was the fear of some sena-
tors that the bill would stabilize
corporate organizations w her e
they now stand. Ending a public
hearing, the committee pondered
over the virtually unanimous op-
position expressed by tax experts
and business men, many Of whom
voiced the belief that the measure
would prevent small business from
grow ing into big businesses
through the use OF distributed
profits.

Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau reported to the senate,
in answer to inquiry, how the pro-
posed tax on dividends would have
affected the 600 corporations
which made more than a million
dollars in 1884. Assuming that
they followed their dividend policy
1873 would have paid nothing and
las Others would have had their
taxes reduced by so per cent.
However, treasury experts assert
ed that an equal number of cor

more taxes. Following the swing
sentiment senators worked on SUBJ

the bill was pronounced uncertain,
complex, and hazardous to bust

were disputed, and George O.
