KEY WEST MAKES APPEAL
(St. augustine Record)

(St. augustine Record)
The people of Key West and Monroe County,
with Senator Arthur Gomez as spokesman, have
made appeal to voters of Florida to help them
with their proposed constitutional amendment
provide for the consolidation of city and county
governments.
The entire population, Senator Gomez says, is
lesI than $4,000, yet the people called upon
to support at least contribute to the support Of
several different sets OF officials These cited
ell, a board o. public works. and a county commits
sion, with all of their duplicated taxing ma
chinery and overlapping powers
Monroe County and Key West have had fed
eral help for long time, and in this way they
have been able to carry during period that
tried the souls of men and worked a great hard
ship on units OF government. OF course this stua-
ton cannot continue indefinitely. Key West and
Monroe County must work out some plan by
which they can exist or, if possible. progress
Consolidation, with resultant economy of opera
ton, seems to be the only solution, as of the
community leaders see it.
For some time students of government have
dubbed hopelessly old-fashioned and completely
antquated the duplication occasioned by too many
boards, commissions and taxing units. The con-
solidation of city and county groups seems to be
the only solution, say those who have been in
vestgating along this line.
The appeal has gone out from Key West that
citizens OF Florida give consideration to this move
on the part of FlOridas southernmost city and
county, and either help by voting yea, or re-
frain from voting this question on Tuesday,
Nov. Sd, since multiplicity of mays" from all
and Monroe County to work out this plan that it
is evident is for the good of the ctzenry of both

BIGGEST news of the week in the

II of these stations. intends to follow
the example of Cincinnati's WLW
and enter the super-power broadcast
ing field.
If the Federal Communications
Commission assents, N. B. G. will
shortly begin building 500,0o0-watt
transmitter at Bound Brook, N. j., to
replace the pioneer WIZ, 50,000.-
watt key Of its blue network now
situated there. This move by the
Radio Corp. of Americas broadcast

termine the efficacy of such super

to be equaled in power only by the
Comintern station at Moscow.

which is more than a tacit indorse-
ment of super power, in the wake OF
the filing of similar applications last

NEW YORK, April 18.-Comics are
on the comeback. That is, radio
comics. There are probably more of
them on the air these days than in
any other period Of kilocycle history.
This despite lamentations by the
funny men themselves that there are
not anywhere's nearly enough jokes
to 60 around. Still, the laugh seekers
are on hand regularly with wise
cracks and the like supplied by pro-
life humor writing staffs. Maybe not
all of them are new, but they are
80 dressed up in modernistic phrasins
they often sound that way.
Most of the now veteran radio
comedians continue on their micro
phone way, augmented by personaI-
ties comparatively new to the micro
phone. About the only ones missing
are Jack Pearl, George Givot and Joe
Penner, although Givot and Penner
do show up for scattered guest ap-
pearance. Pearl has been completely
absent since he finished a series last
Spring.
Such pioneers in fun as Eddie Can
tor, Jack Benny, Ed Wynn, Burns and
Allen, Fred Allen and Phil Baker, de-
spite the radio years behind them,
continue to maintain their contrac-
tural standing at from $4,000 per
program down to $500 or so. In fact
fun on the radio pays as well If not
better than any other form Of loud
speaker output.
In a similar category shouldn't be
overlooked Pick Malone and Pat Pad
eett who call themselves both Pick
and Pat and Molasses and January,
depending upon what program they
are In. Also there are Walter OKeefe,
who as a college student majored in
