MAGAZINE STORY
GREATLY ENJOYED
S. C. SINGLETON AUTHOR
OF ARTICLE REPRODUCED
IN THE CITIZEN

The Citizen, in the issue of
Tuesday, carried a story under
caption Zone Road To Key West"
which appeared in the current
issue of the Magazine Traveller,
and was such an interesting one
that republication of parts of the
story was decided on.
So many favorable comments
were heard on the different
points covered, and The Citizen
was asked so frequently who
wrote the story, that it was de-
cided to investigate. 1t did, and
learned today that the writing
was from the facile pen, or type
writer, of S. c. Singleton, Cham
Der of Commerce secretary.

recent verbal attack on the Nazi

Several Groups From Diff
erent Organizations To
Spend Christmas Holt
days Here

Chamber of Commerce is work
ing overtime these days arrang-
ing. as far as is possible. for the
visitors who are going TO set a
new record this Christmas tide.
Mrs. James M. Carson will be in
the city with more than a dozen
pupils from one of Miami's lead
ing schools, and the Y.M.C.A. of
Gainesville will again fill the
armorY as they did last year.
Secretary Singleton was es-
pecially jubilant as he informed
The Citizen that the Chamber of
Commerce would close the year
without an unpaid bill on its files,
which he suspects comes pretty
close to establishing a record for
Chambers of Commerce in this
section.
One of the most recent Access
sions to the organization is the
Key West Charter Boat Associa-
ton, an organization which the
cooperation of the chamber is
forming. Displayed in the office
of the chamber is a photograph
of Veral Roberts, secretary of the
association, and also a picture of
some of the boats lying at their
berths.
The next thing on the program,
said SeeretaFy Singleton, is TO
get the taxi drivers to take a SIM
liar step and get that activity on
a business basis where members
will be protected from irrespon-
sible competition and have a
recognized place in the business
of the community. This step will
be one that will be greatly appre-
GATED by visitors to the city.

Jim Yonge. legal representative
of the Pan-American Airlines.
and ]. Galhaus. an engineer of
the lines, were in Key West this
week and discussed the matter
with w. r. Porter. president of
the First National Bank, in all
detail.
Station Necessary
The visiting officials pointed
out that il would be necessary to
construct a station on the water
front where planes could be
brought down and passengers
landed. In the station will have
to be rooms for the use of gov
eminent officials which include
u. S. Public Health Service, the
Customs Service and the Immi-
grafton Service.
Mr.. Porter told The Citizen to-
day that arrangements have been
completed for the construction OF
the station which will be on a
conveniently located pier in the
subbase. according to the blue
prints which have been made and
are in Mr.. Porter's office.
Ships which will be used IN
the service are the Fan-American
Clippers. Trips are to be made
from Miami to. Havana, from
the Cuban port to Key West.
back again TO Havana and thence
to Miami.
Capital Needed
However the service will not
be put into effect unless Key
West capital is supplied for the
construction of the station and
facilities in connection herewith.
Conservative estimates place
the cost at from $500 20 $1,000
and Mr.. Porter said that the best
portion of the amount has been
secured. or promised, and there
was but little doubt in his mind
that the entire amount needed
for the station would be secured.
The far reaching effects of this
service, the small cost 10 paEsen-
gers, which IL is said win be
something less than the passage
by steamer, and the short time of
the trip and the convenience 20
travel. make it certain that the
necessary funds will be provided.

A. Cantrell, of DR.. Townsend S
counsel, stated his client would
not avail himself of the full time
allowed by law, but would be in
Washington either Monday o.
Tuesday, prepared to begin his
sentence.
A Presidential pardon is the
only hope of DR.. Townsend for
escape from the fine and Jail term,
but he has stated to his friends
that he will make no request for
executive clemency.

For Vote
"What do you mean, they

"What do you mean, they
don't have vote?"
That was the reaction Of the ma
jority of visitors to Washington
interviewed in Union Station.
when asked If they thought the
citizens of the District should
be given suffrage.
II didn't know you couldn't
vote down here" Thomas j.
williams, American resident Of
BuenoS Aires, Argentina, in the
Capital on business, said.
Certainly think they should
have a vote. It's the right Of
every citizen"
George Brook, economic in
structor at Wright Junior College,
Chicago, admitted that even
though he is a teacher he didn't
realize previous to his visit to the
Capital that the citizens did not
have a vote.
I'D always assumed they
had" he said. by all means
they should have, because, &C.
cording to our kind Of govern
ment, taxation and representa-
ton should go together"
John Tauber, of Baltimore, Nd.
knew that District citizens were
in the midst Of a suffrage cam
paign and couldn't "see any rea'
son why they shouldn't get the
vote"
ut doesn't make sense, that
men from California, oregon or
Maine should come to Washing
ton for a year or two and try to
run our CITY," Arthur Koerner,
New York city businessman,
said. 1.-THE people Of the Dis
trict should have the vote"
Louis Phillips. of Roslindale
Mass, couldn't quite get over the
fact of a disenfranchised District
"You mean they can't even
vote if they're citizens?" he said.
"Why, all citizens ought to have
the VOTE"
Evelyn Limberopolos, Chicago
student on her first visit to the
Capital, said she didn't expect tt
hear anything stranger than the
fact that the people here haven't
the right to cast a ballot for rep
resentative government.
While Mrs. j. Morgan Holloway
and Mrs. j. E. Fairbanks, Of Jer
sey City, N. j., realize that Wash
ingtonians lack voting privileges
they both agreed that mo Amer1
can citizen should be without s,
lbasic a democratic right"
