Despite official reinsurance, Meth

anxious over reported German

borders with which Germany might
conceivably attempt to outf1ank the

This anxiety had been amplihed

United States citizens in Belgium

In the Falk Corp. case the Sew

The board ordered that in the
election to determine representation
the ballots should contain the names
of only the Amalgamated Associa-

Death of Manly H. Peele, 42-year-
old Public Buildings Administration
architect, which was certified as
suicide by Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald, was attributed to de-
spondency, overwork and the out
break of another great war today
by his widow, Mrs. Marian r. Peele
Mrs. Peele said her husband, who
was severely wounded in the World
War, had been depressed by the
current conflict in Europe.
"On Saturday-Armistice Day

years ago we thought all this sort
OF horror was over,'" declared Mrs.
Peele.

spent a pleasant Saturday evening
at home with their 16-year-old in
valid son, Wilfred, reading and
listening to radio and victrola music,
according to Mrs Peele. Several
times recently, Mrs. Peele added,
she had observed that he appeared
respondent. She quoted him as say

KEY WEST GETS MORE HOPE
Tampa Daily Times)

CTampa Daily Times)
Key Westers are now hoping that national
defense developments will do what their spec
tacular new Overseas Highway has apparently
failed to do-completely revive that once bustling
little community.
Not that the long bridge failed entirely.
When it was opened Key West enjoyed crowds
of visitors for the first time in many years, but
now that the novelty of the road that runs to
sea" has worn off somewhat, it is apparent that
the bridge is not cure-all for civic problems.
Some think it is because the toll is too high
and the Overseas Highway Commission didn't
help that situation any by announcing still higher
tolls, though the order was rescinded when the
RFC objected. Some think particularly bad
stretch of road may be responsible for the lack
of traffic.
AT any rate, Key West has now turned some
of its hopes toward the reconditioning of the
naval base and the improvement of Fort Taylor,
a $4,000 WPA project for the latter having Just
been approved
Military and naval activities once were an
important part of Key West life in its palmiest
days and it is understandable that residents OF
the island city particularly optimistic about
the return of the soldiers and sailors as the
United States continues to strengthen its de-
lenses in the Caribbean.
