No More To- Be Allowed
On Relief, Harrington Says
National Orders Received
In Key West; Two Ex-
ceptions Allowed; I'm
employment Study Here

Approximately rs men. who
have made application for relief
jobs. will not be taken on the
Key West rolls. employment Of
ficer Claude Gandolfo told The
Citizen today. due to an order
coming through the Jacksonville
office prohibiting any new as
signments or requirements.
There are rs men who are in
process of being certified but who
now cannot be given work be-
cause they have not been en-
rolled on the rolls, Mr.. Gandolfo
said. The orders are national in
scope, the Jacksonville office re-
ceiving instructions from Col. M.
G. Harrington, national director.
The two exceptions which are
carried in the order are Cd that
men retiring from W.P.A. rolls
previous to June of 1888 will be
allowed back and (2) illness or
injuries forcing retirement at
any time. However, in this lat
ter, medical certification of the
injury is required.
MIR. Gandolfo wishes to en-
phasiZe in connection with the or
ders that the 200 men who were
transferred from the Army prof.
ect recently when it ran out of
funds to local projects in labor
yer status should NOT withdraw
from the current rolls or there
will be no possibility of placing
them back on the present rolls.
Many of those who were trans
fcrred to laborer status are skill
ed men and were waiting until
they were given skilled positions
again. Once off the rolls, how
ever, they cannot be placed back
For the present all are advised
to hold their present positions.
Discussing the sewer project
which seems to face certain
shutdown in the next two months
Mr.. Gandolfo said that the. Az
men involved could PROBABLY be
shifted around to other local
projects, but that it would mean
that those projects would run
out that much faster with the
new load.
At present there is no POSSIBLE

PubicuOpinion Divided
nRegaiiding Movement To
AAAboish Criminal Court
Representative Papy To
Introduce Bill In Legis-
lature Dealing With Mat
ter

Inquiry among various groups
and individuals today revealed
that local public opinion is
sharply divided over the ques-
ton of abolishing the Criminal
Court of Record of Monroe Coun-
iY as proposed by Representa-
tive Bernie c. PapY.
The wording of the act Mr..
Papy proposes to introduce at the
forthcoming session of the State
Legislature appears in a legal
notice elsewhere in the columns
of The Citizen in accordance
with with the law in order that
the people of Monroe county may
be fully informed about the pro-
posed measure.
Mr.. Papy and others support
ing the proposal are of the firm
opinion the act, if enacted into
law by the Legislature, would
result in a substantial saving to
the taxpayers of the county
without affecting the ability of
the county to punish wrongdoers
and to mete out justice to the in
nocent.
Produces Figures
Figures produced by MIR. Papy
show that it cost $9,055.40 in
1888 to operate the Monroe
County Criminal Court of Record.
Of this sum $4,000 was paid to
Judge William v. Albury, 5000
to County Solicitor Allan B.
Cleare, Jr., $1,375 to the clerk,
$108 to the bailiff, $12 to inter
prefers, $2,335.20 to jurors and
$255.20, to witnesses. During the
year 129 jurors served in Grim
inal court! and SO witnesses were
called. IL
Criminal court handles all mis-
demeafors and felonies except
capital punishment crimes and
other cases presented by the city
police to municipal court. I'm
der the Papy proposal the mis-
demeanor cases would be settled
by the county's three justices of
the peace and the county judge,
and the felonies would be pre-
sented to the Circuit court.
Opponents of the proposal
claim the county would not save
the money annually spent to
maintain Criminal court. They
point out that prosecuting at
torney would be needed to pre-
sent felony cases to the courts,
that the fees paid jurors in Grim
inal court now are paid by the
State and would hereafter have
to be paid by the county, and
allege that in the long run il
would cost more than it does
now to handle all misdemeanor
and felony cases.
Was Voted Down
'In 1884 the people of Monroe
county voted three to one
against a similar proposal when
it was submitted to them at a
referendum" a prominent Key
Wester pointed out today. "As
the proposed act now stands the

 Juneau is not picked for victory, but high school enthusiasm can do wonders.

 He's the most promising diver who ever came to Washington, 2 said Torney, whose six-year coach- ing rule has seen swimming spring from nothing to the status of a major sport.
 Doubtless he'll represent Canada again in the next Olympics, to our loss. But despite his very evident superiority, he's the most modest man on the squad
 A Vancouver, B. C., lad, his birth there restricts Athans to Olympic competition for Canada He's dark skinned, of medium h eig ht and beautifully muscled. It's his perfect sense of balance to which his coach attributes his perfection.
 Practice sessions twice day make up his workouts. His best dives are the forward spins, the full twisting one and half somersault and the two-and-a- half front somersault.

JUST A BYsTANDER

AS to Strecker. he is sort of "in- nocent bystander.' An alien of Aus trian origin he joined the Commun- ist Party in 1882 and passed out campaign handbills. He resigned in 1883. In ruling on his case, the Cir cult Court recalled that the depor- cation law was enacted during the jittery period after Russia went Communist.
 Much water, socially and politi- cally, has gone under the bridge since 1920" the court said.
 "The evidence for Strecker makes him out small bourgeoise, a mer- chant, with a little capital, some canniness, a fair amount of human kindness, some bad habits and ap- parently no quarrel with the Gov- ernment of the United States"
 Even if the court holds that an alien can't be deported just because he is a Communist, Bridges foes can still press their claim that he advocated violent overthrow of the Government. But Secretary Per- kins says that is just waterfront chatter.

Umpire Who Never Argues Calls Third Strike
 Go 10 Bench
By DILLON GRAHAM lP Feature Srevice Sports Writer


 NEW YORK, March 13.-Many familiar faces are missing as the major league baseball teams moved to spring training camps.
 The bewhiskered grandpop with the scythe, an umpire they cant talk back to, has called the third strike on more than dozen big league veterans.
 Some have quit baseball. Others have gone downstairs to the minor leagues, as managers or players.
 George CMule) Haas closed his career with the Philadelphia As last year. Mule came up as outfieldel with the As a decade ago, played several years with the Chicago White Sox and then returned to Connie Mack. Haas will manage Oklahoma City.
 Kiki Is Manager
 Hazen tKikD Cuyler wound up his outfielding chores with Brooklyn A good hitter and base-stealer, Cuy- Ter played with Pittsburgh, Chicago and Cincinnati. He'll manage Nash vile.
 Tex Carleton's string as a Chicago Cub pitcher ended last fall when he chucked wild pitch in the last game of the World Series. He'll car ry on in the minors.
 Five of last years major-league managers are missing.
 Mickey Cochrane. one of the games greatest . scatchers, was let put by Detroit in mid-season Charles Grimm, Chicago Cub pilot turned over the. reins to Gabby Hartnett late in the campaign. Cochrane stepped into a business job. Grimm is a broadcaster.
 Others Are Gone
 Frank Frisch, Babhy Street ans Burleigh Grimes also are gone Frisch, one of the greatest seconc  basemen and in recent seasons Ss Louis Cardinal manager, may lanc radio assignment. Street. long time catcher, was busted as the St Louis Browns pilot. Brooklyn re leased Skipper Burleigh Grimes who caught on as Montreal man ager
 Jo Jo White, Detroit cutfielder said he would retire. White had been traded to Seattle.
 Goose Goslin, whose timely hit clinched a World Series champion ship for Detroit only a few years ago, finished as Washington out fielder last season. Pitchers Bill Hallahan and Fred Lucas were let out by the Philadelphia Philies and Pittsburgh. respectively
 Pitchers Guy Bush, Boston Bees; Waite Hoyt, Brooklyn; and Elon Hogsett. Washington. and Outfield- CT Chick Hafey. Cincinnati. are other veterans who've bowed out of the Rig Show
