G. o. Palmer, Executive
Chairman, Gives Thor
ough Explanation OF
Proposition

Al the invitation Of G. o. Pal.
mer. executive chairman of the
Everglades National Park Com
mission. q number Of representa-
tive citizens met at the rooms Of
the Key West Chamber of Com
msree last night for an informal
discussion of the Everglades park
project.
Mr.. Palmer was accompanied
by Mrs. Palmer, their daughter,
Mrs. F. E. Bancroft, Jr., and Mr..
and Mrs. H. r. Howell. Mr..
Howell is also a member of the
Commission.
Commissioner Palmer took up
one by one the various questions
concerning the establishment of
the park and invited and OBJ
tanned a friendly round table dis
cussion. County Commissioners
VIM. r. Porter presented the case
for the county, and various COM
nents were made by others pres
ent.
Mr.. Palmer made it plain that
he had not come to Key West to
instruct its citizens, but to offer
and receive such cooperation as
might tend to avert the possible
loss OF this tremendous asset to
Florida generally. and to this re-
glon in particular.
II was brought out that should
the State deed the bay bottom to
the Department of The Interior
for park purposes. that the COM
mercial and sport fishing inter-
ests could be fully guarded by
the incorporation in the deed of
gift, OF covenant to the effect
that fishing regulations should be
such, and only such, as were pro-
vided by the laws of the State of
Florida.
The necessity for prompt action
BY citizens and their representa-
tives in the next session of the
legislature was pointed out as
there is, at present. opportunities
for extensive financial assistance
from private sources that would
make possible the acquisition of
privately owned lands and that
these opportunities might be more
available now than at later
period.
Commissioner Palmer urged
those present to join with other
representative citizens in coming
to an agreement on the boundary
question and suggested that the
Department of The Interior was
the court of last resort in the
matter and suggested that any
presentation of plan from this
section would certainly receive
consideration.
When the meeting was brought
TO a close. II was moved by Edwin
Trevor that a rising vote of
thanks be rendered the Commits
sioner, which was unanimously
complied with.
Among those who attended the
meeting were: Mrs. S. c. Single

OSTAK
TITLE FIGHT MAY.
END IN KNOCKOUT
BY LEO RARIDAN

S E A T T L E, w h., July 26
G.N.SD .-Should the middleweight
title fight tonight between Cham
pion Freddie Steele, of Tacoma,
and AL Hostak, of Seattle, end
with the stout arm of Referee
Jack Dempsey, the mighty Manas-
sa Mauler, tolling the fateful
count of 10, it will not surprise
many of the fans who have
watched Steele and Hostak in
training.
While pre-fight predictions gen.
orally are taken with a liberal
sprinkling of salt, there are strong
indications that one of the princi-
pals in tongiht's fistic gigantic
will take the count.
Both fighters are in top-notch
condition. Steele is in better
shape, physically and mentally,
than at any time since before he
was given a shellacK;ng by Fred
Apostolic in their non-title bout.
If reports from his camp are to
be given credence, the breastbone
injury which laid him on the shelf
until he recent tuneup fight with
Solly Krieger no longer gives him
a moments worry.
BLAMED ON INJURY
His 1ethargy in the Krieger
fight, his handlers claim, was due
to worry over the injury and the
consequent possibility that his
days Of glory and big purses were
over. The Krieger fight and his
stiff workouts with tough Sparring
partners in preparation for the
Hostak bout have dispelled the
worry, it's asserted, and he's the
old Steel who chalked up 81
knockouts.
That Hostak, getting a title shot
at the age of %, will be out tt
mortice Steele in the canvas is tt
be expected. He's got everything
to gain, little to lose, by making il
a slashing, slan-bang battle. Anc
you can't get an argument ovel
the question of whether Hostak
has what it takes to put an op
ponent away. Few fighters, if any
in the 100 pound division, pack
as much dynamite as the chal
lenger.
Steele is shifty. He knows all
the angles. He's got a flicking
