A division of the Federal Writ
ers' Project has been inauguFated
in Key West. The local writer's
will be engaged in covering ma
terial that is especially relevant
to Key West and material unique
to the vicinity.
The Federal Writer'S Project.
one of the organizations existing
under the Works Progress Ad-
ministration, mas for its ultimate
objective compilation of a COM
prehensive multi-vofume publica-
ton entitled "The American
Guide" The Guide will be in
the nature of a tourist informa-
ton and guide book for every
nook and Granny of the United
States. and Key Vests inclusion
IN such a work should give the
Island City much favorable publi-
city.
Local workers are confronted
with the gigantic task of writing
detailed copy on every conceiv-
able subject. relative to the Key
West vicinity: topography, flora
and fauna, history, legend, the
Arts, education, economic and So
cial activities, resources. and num-
erous other topics. Since the
number of workers on the pro-
ject is comparatively small. indi-
viduals who are authorities in
certain fields are being requested
to act as volunteer consultants.
These volunteers will have eppor-
tunity to render considerable as
sistance by pointing out sources
of information and perhaps edit
ing copy for authenticity and
completeness.
Copies of material compiled and
written by project employees are
to be retained in Key West. OBJ
viously. all of the copy cannot be
atilized in ''fhe American Guide, +"
but will be available for inclusion

Tells OF Movement Made
By Federal And State
Governments Relative To
Matter

Frank T. Keisacker, compensa-
ton supervisor of the state road
department., is a visitor In Key
West in the interests of road reg
uiations and safety measures. In
an interview with The Citizen in
his room at the Hotel Colonial
yesterday Mr.. Keisacker said:
"There is a strong movement
being made by the federal and
state governments throughout the
entire United States on accident
prevention measures on our pub
lie highways. This movement is
being aided by close cooperation
OF the highway departments of the
various states.
FLORIDA, through the Cover
nOr's Committee OF Public Safety,
the Florida Industrial Commission
and the State Road Department,
is trying to do all that is humanity
possible to cut down the number
of accidents in our state.
Asks Cooperation
GAS compensation supervisor Of
the State Road Department of
Florida / wish to ask the coopera-
ton Of every citizen of Monroe
county in this matter and request
them to obey the following re-
quests:
"That no automobiles be park
ed on any of the highway bridges
between here and the ferry slip
during the following hours: One
hour before and one hour after
the departing time of the ferries,
and one hour before and one horr
after the arrival time.
Throughout the state we do
not allow fishing from any of the
state highway bridges, but real
izing what fishing from the
bridges means to the citizens and
your visitors, we are, for the time
being, that you, at least refrain
from parking on the bridges dur
ing these hours. 1t will be far
safer for the public and the owner
of the automobile or other We
hicle, to park at the end OF the
bridge from which the fishing is
being done.
Traffic Problem
with new work on the high
way between the city and the
ferry slip soon to be in progress,
you will face an added traffic
problem and l am going to sug-
gest that the State Highway
Patrol delegate a patrol for this
stretch of the highway. l have
asked and been assured of the CO.
operation of the sheriff's office
and of the II members of the
State Road Departments highway
maintenance force, to see that
every effort to maintain a safe
highway is carried out.
''There will come a time when
it win be impossible to allow you
to park on the bridges at any time
and it Will seen reach the time
when fishing from the bridges will
not be permitted.
"But, when that time is reached
| hope it will be possible to con-
struct fishing platforms on the
bridges at the spots where the
fishing is good.
q personally love to fish and
admire everyone else who loves
the sport bat, / ask that all the
people of Monroe keed these re-
quests fer their own protection

Traffic Measure Passed
Yesterday Afternoon On
Final Reading; But One
Change Made

The City Council at a special
meeting held late yesterday after
noon, passed the new traffic
ordinance on its final reading.
There was but one change made
in the ordinance which was pass
ed on It's initial reading at a meet
held on Tuesday night.
The amendment makes Fleming
street a one-way thoroughfare
from Simonton to Whitehead,
going westerly.
The new ordinance allows park
ing on either side of Duval street
at all hours, with the exception
that no cars will be permitted to
park on Duval, between Eaton
and Angela, for more than one
hour, between the hours of 7 a.
m. and Z p. M.
The change made in allowing
cars to park on either side of the
entire length OF Duval street
without time limit during all
hours of the night, apparently
meets with the wishes of the mer-
chants. it is stated, inasm Ich as
this will be helpful to all business
houses, especially during the
early hours of the night,
when patrons with automo-
biles will be permitted to park
as long as they wish while making
purchases at the various stores.
In addition to this, it is stated.
that most people favor this night
parking on Duval street. which. 1T
is shown, gives the thOroughfare
a much more business-like ap-
pearance. as well as affOrding car
owners the privilege of parking
for the evening. while attending
the theaters and otherwise en-
joying themselves.
The ordinance fixing fares to
be charged by public chauffeurs,
which was passed on its initial
reading Tuesday night. was
brought before the meeting yes
terday. but it was decided to de-
fer further action until a later
date in order that the chauffeurs
may have sufficient time to make
a study of its provisions.
There were no other matters
taken up at the meeting yester-
day as the session was called es-
pecially to take up the ordinances
as stated.

Summer arrived in all its glory
at 9:22 a. m. yesterday, which
also was the longest day in the
year. Bathing resorts and water
sports were the most popular

Outdoor pools in and near the
Capital and nearby beaches were

placid Potomac was filled with
sailing and motor boats.

RECORD
International News Service

The 20-billion-dollar Seventy
fourth Congress passed into his
tory today after amassing one Of
the most unusual legislative rec
ords in all American history.
Appropriating more than 20
billion dollars for an all-time
peace record and sending the pub
lie debt soaring abive 34,500 mil
lion dollars for the first time in
history, the Seventy-fourth Con-
gress left behind it a long list of
important bills.
1t launched Federal Social ST
curity program, voted drastic regu-
lation of public utilities, voted
1880 million dollars one year and
1,425 million dollars another for
unemployment relief, enacted the
first neutrality law in America
history, rejected American adher-
ence to the World Court, voted
first a 250-million-dollar increase
in taxes and then an 800-million-
dollar increase, voted vast sums
for flood control and ordered cash
payment of adjusted service GER
tificates to World War veterans.
In its first session in 1885, its
appropriations totaled $10,073,-
370,543.06 In it's second session
this year, it's appropriations to-
tailed $10,069, ,710,52178. No other
peace time Congress ever ap-
preached this record of expendi-
lures.
Despite all it's work, the seventy
fourth failed to pass two impor-
tant bills. One, the new Guffey
Coal Control Act, designed to re-
place the law held unconStitu-
tional by tile Supreme Court, was
killed by a filibuSter in the Sen
ate. The other, the Copeland Pure
Food and Drug Act, was killed in
a House committee.
The Seyenty-fourth Congress
favored farmers and organized
labor. At its first session, it
sought in vain to save the Agri-
culture Adjustment Act by amend
ing it in line with the Supreme
Courts NRA decision. Then, in
its second session, after the AAA
was held invalid by the high
tribunal, it enacted a new farm
relief program, based upon pay
ment of benefits for the conserva-
ton of farm soil.
History probably will mark the
seventy-fourth for it's appropria-
tions, it's new taxes, its social Sc
curity program, its defeat of the
World Court and its cashing of
the bonus.

Speed Essential
To Remove Stains

AMHERST, Mass. Q.N.S0.-It
takes technique, not soap and
water, to remove those pesky fruit
and coffee stains from clothing,
according to Mrs. Esther Cooley
Page, extension clothing specialist
at Massachusetts, State College.
The first essential is speed. Re
move the stain right after it has
been made. Let boiling water,
poured from a height Of three feet
spatter on the stain. The water
dissolves the stain and the force
of the water dropping from a
height washes it away.

Maryland Man Faces
Trial as Writer
of Threat Letter

The Lindbergh kidnapping law
was invoked in District Supreme
Court for the first time today
when the Grand Jury indicted
Jesse Miller, 22-year-old Thur.
mont (Md) farmer, for an al.
legged kidnap extortion plot
against the 14-month-old child Of
Stephen McKevett Farrand, De-
partment of Justice attorney, and
Mrs. Farrand.
Miller was arrested Saturday
after Federal investigators, con.
cluding a whirlwind investigation,
reported that they believed he
was the writer of a letter to the
Farrands on June 9 in which
$4,000 was manded under
threat to kidnap the Farrand
child.
Specifically, Miller is held
under that section of the Lind
bergh law which forbids the send.
ing of extortion letters through
the mails. The letter was posted
at Blue Ridge Summit, Pa, and
was received by Mrs. Farrand at
the Farrand home at 3011 Gates
