YACHT STORAGE
BASIN WOULD BE
PROFITABLE HERE
CAPT. p. NILSEN OF YACHT
ELFREDA. BASING HERE
NEXT YEAR. WANTS CITY
TO BE YACHTING MECCA.

In the period of future pros
perity which is in store for Key
West, Captain Peter Nilsen, of
the LOG foot yacht Elfreda, owner
H. r. H. Ripley. which will make
Key West a base next year, calls
local marine mems attention to
the fact that storage basins for
ships should be a profitable in
vestment.
Yacht owners are beginning to
realize that storing a ship in the
north may cause serious damage
to the hull when ice forms, and
usually requires a thorough over
hauling job each spring
"Daytona Beach has newly sup
piled these facilities, also docks,
with all sorts of marine supplies.
1t will surprise you to know that
the business, in spite of do1eful
forecasts, is doing very well'
Captain Nilsen said today.
Captain and Mrs. Nilsen this
week purchased two lots near the
Rock House, and intend event
ually to build home on them,
and retire to this little island. He
has interested some capital here,
through his yachting connections.
Captain Nilsen has often prais-
ed Key Vests deep yachting
waters and the beauty of cruis-
ing along the Keys. He has boost
ed the Island City wherever he
has gone, and prophesies a great
future for the town, not the least
of which will be the eventual
end of a yachting mecca.

 His Home

New York, November 19.-(UP) - Police blamed hired gunmen today for the assassination of John F O'Hara, 26, civic credit investigator for Dun and Bradstreet, Inc.
 He was slain last night at the entrance of his apartment, where he lived with his widowed mother and sister. He had returned only two weeks ago from New Orleans where he made an investigation ol city finances, and on the basis oi his investigations there and in Sev- eral cities, approval of bond issues and other vital municipal transac- tions were at stake.
 City investigators delved imme- diately into his affairs, seeking a clue to his murder there.
 He lived quietly, worked hard and had few interests outside his office and home. He was known to his aS- sociates as a wizard with figures and to his employers as one of the most brilliant calculators in the business
 Ruthless and efficient, two killers approached him as he stepped into the tunnel-like entrance leading to the courtyard of the apartment building. carrying newspaper and a suit of clothes that he had picked up at the cleaners on his way home.
 Without a word both fired. He fell. They ran to the street, pur- sued by policeman who lived in the building. They paused to fire two more shots at O'Hara, who lay dying, then sprang into an automo-
