Key West Teachers
Advertise Home Town

Key West teachers attending
the summer school session at
Gainesville this vacation period.
have been advertising Key West
to the students. writes Miss
Frances Cochran in a letter to
The Citizen.
"a whole period OF our science
class was turned over to the Key
Westers. We put on a display Of
all the tropical fruits found in
Key West and the students were
most Interested and enthused
over this. ~
Continuing Miss Cochran writes
that the students .tasted some Of
the fruits and were delighted
with their distinctive fIavors. es-
peeially with that Of me Spanish
limes. They did not know that
such fruits we're grown in the
United States.
aWe feel that as good old
'Conchs' we have done something
to advertise our home town, as
the student body consists Of peo-
pie. not only from Florida, but
from a number Of states all over
the country. and everyone ex-
pressed a desire TO visit Key West
some time in the near future"
Miss Cochran expresses herself
as being particularly well pleased
with a recent editorial in The
Citizen on the subject "Demo-
eracy in Our schoIa", especially
as this has been = part Of her
studies this summer.

FILLS MUSEUM
WITH BIG GAME
tBy Associated PreSsl

SAN FRANCISCO, July a.
One mans gun has filled an en-
tire museum here with African
game.
The hunter is Leslie Simson OF
Oakland. born the heir to vast
Spanish land grant in California.
! ater he became q successful min-
ing engineer in South Africa.
In 1910 Simon retired from
business and for more than two
decades roamed the lonely places
Of Africa. His trophies constitute
possibly the finest personal col
lection Of African fauna in the
world.
To house a part of them he
gave $4,000 toward erecting the
Simon African hall for the
California Academy Of Sciences
here, now open to the public.
Enough game to fill two similar
halls awaits suitable housing.
The group entitled African
Water Hole, executed by Frank
Tose, curator of the academy, is
one OF the largest museum dis.
plays ever created.
Surrounded by mementoes OF
years IN the jungle. Bachelor Sim.

Yesterday afternoon the case
of ths state against Louis Pollock

Der o. extra jurors called before
the panel was completed.
Four special veniremen wele
called, then IA and Is. There
were a number OF these excused
for different reasons, and the jury
was not completed until this morn
ing when the case went to trial
with the following jurors on the
panel: Peter Mateovitch, George
E. Sawyer, John 7. Knowles, Mer-
lin Roberts, William Cappick, Paul
w. Roberts.
Though charged with setting ur
and conducting a lottery, Mr.. Pol.
lock is specifically charged with
operating a watch club, using a
bag and balls, and the holder OF
the number which is on the ball
when the bag is shaken and Sc
lection made. is the winner o. q
watch.
Two of these clubs were in
operation, one called so cents
club and the other a dollar elub,
This evidence was brought ont or
the stand by witnesses, who also
said that it was a game wherein
some person won a watch in each
of the clubs at each drawing. Tho
difference was that some persons
got their watch for SO cents OF
81, as the case may be. while
others eventually paid the full
value Of the watch and in soins
cases little more.

AP Feature Servies Writer

WASHINGTON, July "a
Every time pistol fire disturbs the
air over the Soviet anehoukuoan
border in the far east, me world
shoots an apprehensive glance to-
ward Moscow and Tokyo.
Are Japan and Soviet Russia
about to start another war?
World diplomats frown. confer
and hope not.
In fact, the belief here is that
the open skirmishing is nothing
more than natural heat-lightning
that occurs internationally along
any unmarked boundary in a near
wilderness. And certainly the
An1ur river dividing the Soviet
and Japan's puppet state is a
shifty, hazy boundary, if ever
there was one.
But the real international fear
is that Japanese and Russian
zealots may be magnifying the
border explosions to stir up pa
triotic fervor among none-too.en-
thusiast:c populations.
As for the border troops, them
selves. the military men on both
sides of the river have to keep
their official noses clean. Just to
show enthusiasm and pride, they
must report back home that they
are telling the other fellow ''where
to get off," and following up the
verbal assaults with appropriate
battle fire.
And so the vicious circle whirls
steadily Onto what?
Few dis Interested watchers
doubt That the far east is slowly
developing into finder box as
dry and dangerous as Europe's no.
torious Balkans. A few experts
fear that japan and Russia might
find themselves in a large-scale
war one fine day without having
Iintended to reach that crisis.
But perhaps you'd like to ex-
anime the evidence yourself. Let's
start with the domestic situation
in these two countries.
Japan's Shape
Here's 4 neck at Japan:
The Japanese parliament meets
again soon with the heretofore
dietatorial army group no longer
completely in the saddle. In fact
the two big political parties OPP
posing the army won 900 of the
Gao seats in parliament in the
April elections. A coalition cab
met has the reins of government
The political parties have the
support Of large faction of bust
ness men who look at life much a.
do American and British business
men. These Japanese want bal
anced budget and are willing "a
forezo some imperial aggression
20 get Il.
Running close to 5000. 900 900,
the eurrent Japanese budget Is
one OF the largest in the nations
history. and what makes matters
worse. the taxpayers are shoulder
ing heavier taxes 60 keen the
military machine up to snuff.
Nearly half the budget Is going
to the array and navy Hereto.
fore. the large budgets beginning
with the Manehoukaoan eorS=>si
in 1882 have been financed BIZ
loans instead Of additional taxes.
And incidentally. prices havs
been rising n Japan. even on
feed n the great Tokyo markets.

MUCH SPECULATION OVER
TROUBLE in FAR EAST

Combine all these factors and
you have the elements of discon-
tent, or at best, an apathetic in
terest in many quarters in the
army's scheme to build machine
as big as Soviet Russia's.
Russia's Situation
Now look at Russia:
Widespread confusion and fear
have followed the execution of
nearly 200 citizens accused of
trying to sabotage the Stain gov
eminent.
Eight o. the executed persons
were among the most brilliant
generals in the Soviet army. II
is whispered in Great Britain that
these generals were trying to form
. nailstary alliance with the Ger
man army TO pave the way for
military relationships in both
countries and thereby cut down
the power OF Hitler and Stain.
Official reports of sabotage
continue to fill the Russian press,
with the second five-year indus
trial plan drawing to close this
year. If these reports are true,
the question Immediately arises
has Stalin's second five year plan
actually failed2
If it has, what effect win that
failure have on the already pro-
jected third five-year plan. during
which Russians are expected TO
"oyertake and surpass" the United
States industrially?
Meanwhile the financial status
of the nation remains a mystery,
but it is plain enough that Stain
has been encouraging any scheme
that win give the nation a COM
mon subject for enthusiasm. The
daring polar flights are an ex-
ample. And while he warns the
nation of it's enemies without,
what better proof that such en-
emies are active than the Man
ehoukuoan border clashes? He
used one Of the recent border
clashes as spFingboard FOR a
huge domestic defense loan.
International CompaYfsou
Now look at the international
position of the two nations:
Japan is pledged in a treaty
with Germany to fight of the
spread Of communism. This en-
courages stories in the press re-
lating the communist menace, and
army statements that Japan must
continue TO build her military
machine.
The Russian press has long told
It's readers to prepare for war
against those who would destroy
communism With Japan and
Germany openly pledged to such
destruction. the common foe must
be Germany and Japan. Stain
has been sending reinforeements
to the FAR east provinces along the
Manehoukuo border. and be may

Post-Press Sports Editor

Optimism-the one thing that
keeps sports editors and columnists
going, the one thing that gives
them assurance that some day they
will predict something correct and
therefore encourages them to keep
on with their apparently futile
prognostications.
With these thoughts in mind the

other list of brainstorms in an ef-
fot to show the way in the Post
Press contest this week.
The FL Centro- -Coacheua game is
the first one that hits the Bench
Warmer between the eyes. Anyone
that saw the Spartans against
Grossmont would pick a grammar
school over the Ell Centre team
so I'll take Coachella by a touch
down.

TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Oct. 7lU.P)- The
Greeks had a word for it, and it
was the same as ours
Insolence!
To me that nine letter word tells
the story of the first game of the
1887 World series, in which the
New York Yankees treated the
New York Giants as if they were
just a bunch of boys who blew
into town and hurriedly chose up
a side.
Let's 60 back to the first half of
the fifth inning. The Giants are
up. The score is 90. Ripple, first
man up for the Giants, bangs out
a single. A minute later Johnny
McCarthy-"One Note Johnny"
slaps another single, chasing Rip
pie to third.
To nearly everyone 1t the stands
and there are 10000 "everyones"
packed in there-it looks like the
ball game. Because Carl Hubbell,
pitching for the Giants, appears
inVincible. The meal ticket, his
arm whipping up and down and
out with the speed of a snakes
fangs, has Silenced the Yankees
artillery, and with each pitch he
appears to be stronger.
Give us one run" the loyal
Giants rooters say and it's our
