mind. student of metaphysics
in his own words, MIR. West has
many interesting slantS on life.
People In Hollywood try to get
ahead by stepping on the other
fellow, he said, but eventually
they are tripped by their own
methods. you can't attach i'm
portance to that way of living.
After everything is done, you see
the uselessness of making a pile
of money by brutal methods. You
know the favorite custom of old
millionaires in frantically giving
away their money to clear their
sins.
The only important thing is
the good you do for others with
out expectation of return You're
piIing up a real treasure for your
self then That's why I'm giving
you this story even though I'm
tired of talking about the matter.
Don't you go trying to return the
favor, either, I've got to do it
without belief of a requital."
AS a psychic, Mr.. West has
had numerous instances of well
authenticated spiritual transfer of
thought and events, he stated
"You know, the real way to
come into Key West is by boat if
one wants to experience the beau
ty and contentment of the island.
] came here twenty years ago the
other way, and know now there
is nothing to compare with APP
preaching it by water. Perhaps
that beautiful Oversee Highway
you're building though win be as
stirring an approach"
During his career, West has
been an actor, playwright and
stage producer. He entered pic
lures in 1916 with Joseph Sch
enck and directed the first pic
ture that Schenck produced.
Among pictures he supervised are
The Bat, The Doe" and The
Monster.

The demand for facts about

never been as great before. The
larger number Of the inquiries
come through the mails from all
parts of the country, but two out
of every ten people who come in

buy home here. I've had it in

Mr.. Gathers interest in keep
ing Key West unsp0iled is partly
from his work on the Rockefeller

which the historic city was re-
stored and is now doubly attrac-
tive to visitors. Nothing of the

the development in defensive
weapons that has occurred since

He said that in recent years
most armament funds went for
buying airplanes, tanks and COM
bat vehicles and that only a trio
kle went into new defensive
weapons until the last congress
voted considerably larger sums for
rearmament. '..
"They will suffice for the at
tainment of the objective of the
Baker board (2,320 planes) and
they will permit a marked reduc-
ton in the extreme shortages of
semi-automatic rifles and anti-air-
craft armament and the initiation
of the procurement of an efficient
anti-tank weapon" he added.
Craig said that results of the
Spanish and Sino-Japanese con-
flicts have restored" the "su-
