MANY EMPLOYED
In NYA PROGRAM
NOW UNDER WAY
ORGANIZATION IS FOR PUR-
POSE OF AIDING YOUNG
PERSONS THROUGH WAGES
AND LEARNING TRADES

Nearly so young men and wom-
en- are being placed on projects
this week through the National
Youth Administration designed to
give aid to young persons, through
wages and an opportunity to learn
some new trade fitting them for
future permanent employment.
The NYA was created some
time ago to assist young persons
in families which have been GER
titled as eligible for WPA en-
ployment. Persons employed
through it work one third of the
time adults work and receive one
third the wages earned by adults.
At present number OF young
folk are being employed at the
WPA furniture factory. on the
recreation project and in offices
of the city and county govern
ments.
In the first instance the youths
are being trained as apprentices
in skilled work; in the second they
are learning the mechanical rou-
tine in connection with recrea-
tional work and in the third are
being famiiiarized with, and learn
ing something OF, civic enter
prise.
Although most CT these young
people arc being absorbed in these
three projects, some are being
used on the sewer project as Of
flee assistants, apprentices in sur
vey work and as assistant drafts
men.
Key West was given a quota of
nearly 100 in this move to assist
young persons needing employ
ment but there has been some
difficulty IN getting the entire
quota filled. it was said at the
WPA headquarters this morning.
1t is anticipated that another
quota will be set up. by the mid
die of this month. which will be
large enough to absorb all young
persons eligible for this kind of
employment.

COUNTY CLERK
PREPARES FORMS
FOR CANDIDATES
TO BE USED AT PRE-ELEC-
TON PERIODS; ELECTORS
AWAIT ANNOUNCEMENTS
FROM OTHER ASPIRANTS

Clerk Ross C. Sawyer has pre-
pared and has IN readiness sets of
forms to be used at certain pre-
election periods Dy candidates in
Monroe county. Mr.. Sawyer feels
satisfied that there will be As
sets of these forms as he estimates
there will be that number in the
field.
The foregoing paragraph is an
aswer to many readers of The
Citizen who have asked how many
candidates will announce for cleo
ton or reelection in the primary
to be held June 2.
1t is readily understood that
candidates who have no opposi-
ton will not announce, although
there is one who has positively
asserted he will announce because
even though he does not antici-
pate an opponent he believes it
is a good idea to keep his name
before the public at this time.
One of the many who have ask
ed about the number of candidates
to be in the field and who will
have opposition and who will be
the opponents said: GLOW can a
voter know just what to do when
there are but eight announce
ments made so far, and these for
five offices. Two for the legis-
lature, one for county judge, two
for tax collector, one for super
visor of registration and two for
justice of the peace for the sec
end district.
'This places a voter in the po-
sition of making a promise of sup
port to one candidate, when later
on he may wish to change his
mind because of a dear friend and
one more able than the one to
when he has given his word COM
ing out for the same office" he
said.
This opinion is shared by many
others among them potential
candidate for the shrievalty who
yesterday said he would probably
get his announcement in within
the next few days. as he wants
to get his name before the public
and let his many friends know he
will be in the race.
Other county and state offices
are to be contested, and while
some of the candidates have free
ly spoken of their intentions to
their friends, as has been pointed
out to this paper on numerous oc-
casiOnS. so far there are only
eight announcements being car
ried and these for five offices

CONCERT SUNDAY
IN LOCAL PARK
PROGRAM TO BE PUT ON BY
NEWLY ORGANIZED HOS.
PITALlTY BAND

The first concert to be given
by the newly-organized Key West
Hospitality Band of the Federal
Music Project, DR.. Nikolai Soko-
loft, director, will be presented
Sunday afternoon, starting at 4
o'clock in Bayview Park, it was
announced today.
The Federal Music Project is
designed to employ worthy must
clans and to bring before the
public better music. Through
this means it is hoped a keener
appreciation of worthwhile music
will be developed, finally making
the Nation truly music conscious.
"The people of Key West can
assist in this movement by at
tending concerts and in this way
helping to keep musical activities
on a high level" George Mills
White, district supervisor of the
music project, said today. AIRED
NJ. Barroso is director of the band.
a local sponsors fund is being
raised to help carry on the pro-
ject, Mr.. White explained this
morning, and through this fund,
new music will be purchased, in
struments will be repaired, and
possibly uniforms will be pur-
chased. Nearly $500 has been
pledged for this fund, but most of
it is still outstanding. Because of
this, it probably will be some
time before a great deal of new
music is procured.
The band has been rehearsing
FOR several weeks, and as a result.
a finished program is anticipated
Sunday afternoon.

Hays, chairman of the state Jay

at is up to the members of the
1887 legislature-the men who

and to set aside those highways
definitely for the purpose for
while they were intended.
"Our only apparent solution of
the problem is by legislation. The

TWEEDCLAD GRETA GARBO Bellies
GOSSIP SHE'S GONE IN FOR FRILLS
CBy Associated Press)

O1OShLIObh, MdICH u
Hearkening again to the call of
Hollywood, Greta Carlo, inscrut-
able Swedish film star, is under
stood to be almost ready to re-
turn to America.
Lately enjoying winter sports
at Are, a fashionable resort in the
north OF Sweden, in company
with Count and Countess Yacht
meister, she discredited reports
that i'll health had caused her ply
sician to advise delay in her re-
turn to work.
In Stockholm, with the eXcep-
ton Of brief period at Christ
mas time when she had a cold,
she has been in evidence at
theaters, in restaurants and on
shopping tours.
Wears Sweaters In Theater
In these appearances she con-
tinued to give the lie to stories
that she would return to the
United States as an entirely new
personality; with hair coiled into
modern couture, and with her
clothes, from hat to shoes, in
keeping with latest fashions.
Seen here in Sweden's capital,
Carlo was still addicted to loose
fitting coats, shapeless hats, flat
heeled shoes, and an air of COM
plete disinterest in what other
women were wearing.
Her theater costume more often
than not-and she has seen every
/. legitimate stage show here-has
consisted of rough skirt, pull-over
sweater, and hat pulled low over
her eyes.
Shop girls swear by her.
"She never makes a fuss" ex-
planned one. "She seems to know
what she wants, and it isn't neces-
sary to put the whole store on the
counter for her"
Night Life Gayety Is Out
Smart society in Stockholm has
yet to know her, however, and gay
night life does not claim her.
Her circle of friends is limited,
aside from the Wachtmeisters and
Max Gumpel. the building en-
gineer whose name has been link
ed with hers in rumored romance
for several years.
Negotiations relative to her
next film are still under way, it
is understood, but within the
near future she is expected to
start back for the studio lights.
1t is regarded as self-evident.
however. that the same Carlo will
return. the same in manner, dress,
evasiveness and disposition.

They were visitors last year
and would like to secure accom-
modations equal to those of last
season. Mr.. billiard expects to
be later joined by his brother, a
physician of Salem.

New Dealers Quietly Hoping
For G. 0. P. Campaign Errors
Many Attacks Being Dr.
rected At Administration
In Connection With Vari-
GUS Activities
By BYRON PRICE

iCh1eI Ok bureau ItBF Associated
Press, Washington
One interesting feature of the
current political situation is that
Mr.. RooseveIt's opponents are
making most of the noise.
Daily-sometimes at the rate
of several a day-the big guns of
the opposition are pouring their
attacks on the White House. Now
and then Democratic headquar-
ters or some prominent Democrat
replies, but for the most part the
administration batteries remain
silent.
Presumably this is a temporary
situation only. With its array of
experienced spelibinders, and its
exceptionally well equipped pub
licity staff, it must be supposed
that the Democratic organization
will come into full action in due
course.
There are reasons why, at this
stage, it is quite natural for the
Republicans to be more vocal
than the Democrats. The G.. O.
P. is in the process of considering
who shall be chosen to carry the
party Banner against Mr.. Roose-
welt; and each of the aspirants
appears anxious to demonstrate
how hard he can hit.
On the Democratic side there
are reasons also. One of the most
potent is the feeling among party
leaders that it would be folly to
shoot off too much ammunition
before it is known who the OPP
posing general will be, and what
sort of battleline he will present.
Appears One-Sided
If the present political picture
were judged without taking these
things into account, it might be
possible to conclude that the con-
test is very One-sided, indeed.
The laundering OF the half
dozen Republican presidential can
didates alone amounts to a size
able barrage. Day after day the
Liberty League adds its fire I'M
remittingly, while the Talmadge
movement in Georgia chimes in
with increasing frequency. The
hGpuDliCdu HdtlolItl COliIiultISe
recently has enlarged its publicity
bureau, and is more active than
ever.
In contrast, Democratic head
quarters appears to be saying less
and less. It's publicity machinery
is working with only a partial
staff. Occasionally big gun lets
go but most administration Off
cials, from the President down,
seem content to let it go at that.
Recently when Mr.. Hoover as
sailed one OF the new DEAF
spending agencies, the director of
that agency was attending a party
at the home Of a friend in Wash
ingtOn. Other "new deal' adj
: herents of lesser rank who were
present wanted to turn the dial
to some dance music; but the re-
sponsible official mentioned OBJ
jected. and. listened carefully to
Mr.. Hoover's every word. No re-
ply whatever, either private or
public, was forthcoming.
Golden Silence
Quite evidently the Roosevelt
organization is relying on the
soundness of two old political
maxims.
One is that. in any political
game, it is easy to everyday the
hand. With the election still
eight months away, say the Demo
cratic strategists. a constant tor
rent Of denunciation from the
opposition may get to be an old
story to the country, and have a
natural kick-back.

FOREST FIRE ON HECETA ISLAND
 REPORTED HERE
60 Acres Burned Over Near Juneau Lumber Mills
 Logging Camp

A bad forest fire is burning near the Juneau Lumber Mills logging camp on Heceta Island on the West Coast, according to a meager re- port to the company here last night. Sixty acres already have been burn ed over. the message from the Su- perintendent of Camp One said, but it had not yet reached green timber last night.
 The Forest Service, which was in- formed of the fire by the lumber company, was attempting to reach the' Forester which is in Southeast ern waters with Regional Forester Charles H. Flory aboard, in the hope that the vessel might be in position to go to the scene.
 Mir. Flory recently went to Ket- chikan to meet c. M. Granger, As sistant Forester from Washington, D. c, who is on a visit to Alaskas s national forests.
 No report of the fire had reached Ketchikan up to li:3o this morning, the Forest Service found when As sistant Regional Forester Wellman Holbrook contacted the First City at that hour. The message received here was relayed via Todd at Il o'clock last night.
