Scripps-Howard Ernie Pyle
Writes Impressionisiical-
ly; Likes Some Parts,
Not Others

Excerpts from two syndicated
columns on Key West, highly i'm
pressionistic, by Ernie Pyle, who
is at present residing in Key
West, are reproduced below.
Mr.. Pyle, Scripps- Howard
columnist, as Il whole, is rather
hard on Key West and Key West
ers. Beng a columniSt and not
being concerned with the com
pIehensive truth, he has been
impressed mostly with the side
Of Key Wet, which Key Wester5
themselves, Though clubs and
acuvo ctfJrts at regeneration, are
1teGptll . TO correct in trans
. nIA3 Key West into an eff
cient, b. .ght, industrious little
city.
AS for the other side, Mr..
Pyle has recognized the welcome
warmth and climate here and the
peace of the island. Nothing has
been said of the best fishing
grounds in the country, and lit
tie of the beautiful ocean and
wonderful yachting grounds sur
rounding the Florida Keys. The
hospitality of the people has not
been mentioned. The Latin and
Bahaman elements, the quaint
beauty of the fisher cottages with
their southern columns and roof
cupolas, has not been touched
upon. All salient points. Mr..
Pyle may be believed either not
to have seen all of Key West or
as writing solely to be novel
with a regard for the truth, but
not the whole truth.
The columns follow in part:
I'VE have just driven over that
much-publicized new Overseas
Highway to this much-publicized
/ town of Key West. So l shall tell
you about it.
AT any rate, it is l73 miles
from Miami to Key West. 1t takes
about four hours. On the last
half of the trip you are over, or
very close to, water all the time.
The last half is across string
of keys. A key, you know, is a
small island, you might say. Key
West is on the end of the string.
Il have read, and no doubt you
have read, lot about this new
highway. Going to Sea on
Wheels, and things like that. 1t
is supposed to be one of the l.
900 Wonders of the World.
Well, from spectacular
standpoint it was disappointing.
At least to us. Such a highway
seems to me a perfectly logical
thing. And / am sure we have
all seen engineering accomplish
mentS more difficult and more
astounding.
And yet, / recommend that
drive in a loud and pleading
voice. Not because it is spectacu-

ioas as proposed oY representa-
tive Pat Cannon.
To further set forth the claims
of Key est as being the logical
place for such a base and citing
the advantages which Key West
offers, together with the facilities
which are here, and the geo.
graphical situation, the following
telegram was today sent to Rep
resentative Cannon:
"Supplementing the telegram
sent you under date of January
q, we understand the object of
establishing a base in Florida is
to pro t the Florida Straits and
the entrance to the Caribbean
Sea south of Cuba.
"Key West is five hundred
miles nearer the area to be pro-
tected than Jacksonville or any
other locality in the United
States, outside of Florida. Seems
to us it would be much cheaper
to place the present Key West
station on an operating basis
rather than to expend vast sum
of money for the establishment
of base elsewhere.
Suggest that you refer to sta
tistics on file with the navy de-
partment in Washington as to ex-
listing facilities at Key West,
when would enable the eStab-
hshment of permanent and ade-
quate base at Key West with a
of cost. We understand
that about three million dollars
has heretofCAe been spent in
deepening submarine base in con-
nection with Key Vest naval sta
ton and constructing finger
piers.
This locality is ideal for naval
activities in general. Patrol
Wing No. S, navy aeronautical
division, has been operating at
Key West for the month of Janu-
airy, and unofficial reports are to
the effect that conditions are
most satisfactory. -.---
"We also urge you to consider
the economic benefits to the COM
munity which would result from
the employment of a large num-
Der at the naval operating base.
Elementary that employment of
civilian labor on large scale will
greatly reduce the relief rolls of
Monroe county. We believe if the
base is established in Key West
on a scale that it should be there
would be very little necessity, if
any, for further WPA activities
in Monroe county. es--
The telegram is signed: Board
of County Commissioners Mon
roe County, Florida, by Carl Ber-
valdi, Chairman.
Isadore Weintraub, president
of Young Democratic Club, re-
ceived a telegram this morning
sent to the club from Senator
Claude Pepper, advising, will be
glad to do anything that / can
to bring about reopening of Key
West Navy Yard. Regards. The
newly-reorganized Young Demo-
cratic Club recently sent tele-
grams petitioning for reopening
of Key West Naval Station.

 The communication of the U. s. Coast Guard requesting a per init for location on Snake River harbor, was read and on motion duly passed the council had no objection to the request being granted by the U. S. Engineers Office.
 The communication of Dave Taggart asking to be relieved from his duties at the fire sta tion by April 30th, was read and laid on table until next meeting.
 The applications of Fire Chief Laws and Engineer Harry Egbert of the fire department, were read and laid on the table until next meeting.
 Under head of committee re- ports, chairman Wm. Kelsey of the Fire and Water committee, read an exhaustive communica- tion signed by R. s. Ludwig, which gave in detail all neces- sary improvements needed in the fire stations pumping equipment, etc. The communication showed that much time, thought and con sideration had been given the subject in order that the system produce at all times the neces- sary demands made on it's eqiup- ment, thus assuring Nome of bet ter fire protection.
 Chairman Kelsey asked what authority was needed by the com mittee 10 make necessary repairs without calling a meeting of the council, He was authorized and granted permission to make or dinary repairs between council meetings.

the Finance committee were up on motion ordered paid.
 Under new busnies the matter of cal ing for applications for the Fire Department positions was brought up. Councilman Geo. Madsen proposed that only tive positions be considered-that O. chief and engineer. He believed the city could get by without Q steady driver for the cat and motorized fire truck; that a vo unteer fireman could be used for that purpose by paying little more for attending and answer ing fire alarms. MT. MadSen re- ferred to the fact that other frs departments in Alaska only have two paid men, and thought Nome could do likewise.
 This brought most if not all the councilmen to their feet in objection to same, whereupon motion was made by Nevin, sec onded by Kelsey, and duly pass ed that application would be re- caived by the council for the  positions of Chef of fire depart ment, a driver, and an engineer, and that same be advertised in The Nome Nugget.
 It was also decided to hold 9 special meeting next Monday, May 1st, at 7:30 p.m., at which time the applications for the fire department will be read and fur there disposition made of them.
 Meeting adjourned until Mon- day.

 The minutes of the previous minutes were read and ordered filed.
 A communication read by the clerk showed that school tax re- ceipts for collections had been received also requesting appoint ment of tax collector. It was also stated in the letter that school taxes were due the first Monday in April. Under new business motion was duly made appointing Duffy O'Connor to sue ceed himself as tax collector.
