Key West is suffering growing
pains. There are those, who will
grow with her and there are her
enemies who will sink into dust
and be forgotten. A city defined
to take her place in the sun, only
needing highway contact to
start her career-that's Key West.
There are those who love her,
who have spent their lives in her
interest and those whosare newly
won to her heart and who see
her needs and they will join
hands, the old and the new, for
her future. Then, there, are
the "do-nothings' who offer only
criticism, who tear down and
destroy, who's suspicious are
aroused at every forward, new
undertaking, every bit of pro-
gress made. Those who fancy
some one in some mysterious
manner has "an ak to grind" or
is going to make some money out
of every proposed improvement.
What if they do. If the city
grows, every one will make more
money. But, that is beside the
question. There are noble, UNI
selfish men and women who feel
a civic pride in their city as one
feels in ones family. There are
those who are interested in the
development of Key West into a
larger, better city and in bring
ing more population, more cult
ture and more wealth to Key
West. Then our people can pros
per and have better jobs and be
less dependant on government
charity. Let US consider criticism.
There is honest, constructive cri-
ticism and there is criticism
biased and destructive ignorant,
wanton criticism, hypocritical
criticism from those who chatter
and blabber about things they
know nothing about. Construc-
tive criticism is lending a helping
hand. Giving something strong
for something weak. It gives en-
enlargement ideas for improve
nent and causes one to feel the
touch of brotherhood. Key West
win thrive and grow-so get on
the band wagon and ride in on
her glory and be part of the
growth for. this proud beauty
will wear her crown and take her
place in the sun.
COURAGE: One meets SO much
nobility in every day life. The
courage of mother of four
children, little ones dependant on
her. She is widow, but only a
girl in years. This young mother
has the prospect of one months
work, and then. Her voice breaks
as she tells you, but there is no
bitterness-just hope and cour-
age.

FORMER BOOTLEG | KING SEEKS MONEY
George Remus Asks $l96,. 900 From Estate of Mur.
 dered Edward O'Hare

Chicago, November 25. - (UP) - George Remus, prohibition era boot leg king. claimed $l96,00O in pro- bate court today from the estate of Edward J. O'Hare, race track magnate who was slain in gangland style November 8. His attorney claimed that 1t was the balance of $250,000 O'Hare had agreed to pay for liquor O'Hare and others were convicted of stealing from \Remus at St. Louis in 1923.
 Attorney Justis Chancellor, Jr., filed suit in Cook County probate court. He said O'Fzare made his last payment on the alleged debt less than three months before he was killed.
 Remus, a former attorney, now has business interests at Cincinnati and Chicago. He was the governments chief witness against O'Hare and 2l co-defendants, including st. Louis and Cincinnati politicians, who had been indicted on e charge of having siphoned $200.O00 worth of bonded whiskey, ownet by Remus, from barrels in the Jack Danie Dis- tillery warehouse, St. Louis, which 0Hare operated, After the whis- key disappeared ReInus forfeited a si00,0O0 bond he had posted with the government as a guarantee that the whiskey would be sold or re- moved from the warehouse only un-

MORE ASP|RET TO
 U. s. JUDCESH|p
Senator Culhane Is Sup- porting H. Allen Barton
 of Greenwich for Job

Two more contenders have enter ed the field for the U. s. district court judgeship for which Congress man J. Joseph Smith and a half dozen others have been mentioned. Latest to enter the field are H. AL len Barton, of Greenwich, who is said to have been given the endorse nient of State Senator George T. Culhane and Attorney Darius J.. Spain, former associate judge Of the Danbury city court.
 It is not expected that the Pres- ident will, nominate anyone for the judgeship until after Congress be- gins it's session in January. The post has been vacant since the resigna- tion of Judge Edwin s. Thomas.
 The political enmity between Senator Culhane and Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith is reflected in reports that the senator has written Attorney. General Prank Murphy urging that Mir. Barton be nominated. Congressman Smith is a brother of the state chairman.
 Smith Reported Dropped
 Reports from Washington in re- cent weeks stated that Congressman Smith was being dropped from con- sideration because his views were not considered liberal enough. It was pointed out that he had voted against a number of important New Deal measures.
 There are e number of other can. didates being mentioned, among them John Fitz0erald, son of Na- tional Committeeman David E. Fitz0erald; Attorney Cyril Coleman, of Hartford; Congressman James Shanley, former Congressman WI. liam Citron, Assistant U. 8. Attor. rey General Brian McMahon, and several others, among them mem- bers of the faculty of the Yale Uni. versity Law school.

National Defenses To Demand Tax Increases
Income or Consumer Taxes Must Be Levied Unless Some Other Plan Is Found President Told
 Nation of New Debt Yesterday
BY LYLE Q. WILSON

(UnAte0 fEeSS StekK COffeSpOn0entD
 Washington, Nov. 2-(UP)-New income or consumer taxes appeared today to be the most likely sources of revenue if the next $500, ,000, ,000 bulge in national defense costs is to be met on a pay-as-you-go basis. President Roosevelt suggested yes- terday at Warm Springs, Ga, that the people should decide whether added defense costs next year should be financed by new taxes or more borrowing.
 Treasury opinion as outlined to the United Press was that no war profits taxes should be levied at this time for fear they would jolt busi- ness out of the recovery stride. Co., incident with MT. Roosevelt's tax suggestions, 8 new "tax-the-tax' plan turned up here as e possible source of $200 000, 900 or so of addi- tional funds. It would hit every individual and corporation now sub- ject to income taxation.
 Alternatives include little man" taxes to be obtained by lowering existing exemptions and a tapping of the middle tax brackets to take more money from persons whose net insome ranges from $l0,000 to $50,000 annually.
 No Tax Plan

European War Not Respon. sible for Better Times
 Says Steel Leader

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 25-(UP)- The primary cause of the business upturn in the United States is ma tural recovery" rather than the European war, Eugene 0. Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel Com pany, believes. Labor finds em- ployment conditions far better today than in pre-depression days" Grace said in Q statement to employees. Pay rates are the highest in the history of the steel industry" His statement appeared in a company bulletin. The letter said in part:
 Tt is my belief that two factors have been responsible for the uptur1 in business. The soundest and most important factor is the natural re- covery after the long period of de- pression. Shelves were bare. in re- serve supplies, equipment in many fields was in need of repair, install lations of needed facilities had been postponed, our whole industrial structure was operating on hand to-mouth basis.

Business req lized there might arise shortage of supplies, with no stocks available and therefore there was a rush oi buying.
 Tt is gratifying that our products are going largely into consumption and not into inflated inventories and that the buying movement does not represent important demand from the warning countries. We dt not want business to grow on the false foundation of war require ments.~

City Budget For 1940 Whipped Into Shape
Will Call for Return of Ten Percent Cut to City Elm. ployes-Tax Rate Will Be Fixed at 32.5
 MilIs-Expected to Be Passed

A ie40 budget calling for tax rate of 32.5 mills and providing for the restoration of the 10 per cen. pay cut to all city employees was being whipped into final shape today for submission by the board of h- nance to the board of aldermen The finance board will give the bud- get final study Monday night, then send 1t on to the aldermen for their approval. lg
 The finance commissioners last night reduced several 1e40 appro- priations and made increases in estimated revenues, thereby bring ing the tax rate down from the 32.7D mills that would otherwise have been necessary. The 32 1.2 mill rate, If approved by the alder men, will be reduction of two and one-half mills from the 1889 rate of 35 mills.
 The motion that City Auditor Thorvald olsen be instructed to rec wise the budget figures to provide for a 325 mill rate was made oy Commissioner John H. Goss. It was adopted unanimously, the members present, Tn addition to MT. Goss being Commissioners Major W Judge, Harley Tripp, John A. Hay den, William B.. Pape, Mayor Pat rick M. Perriello and Controller Martin J. Sweeney. Commissioners Goss opposed a sharp slash in the welfare department appropriation proposed by the mayor.
 Pay Cut Return
 Full restoration of the pay cut to city employees seems now assured The restoration was scarcely Cis- cussed last night, the board seen1- ing to take for granted that 1t would be approved. The aldermen will al- most certainly vote favorably on re- turn of the 10 per cent. since they adopted unanimously a few weeks ago a resolution asking the finance board to make the restoration The return of the wage slash will mean a reduction of about $320. 900 in es- timated resources, since the cut had been considered as a voluntary con- tribution" and listed as revenue.
 Grand List. Raised
 The finance board raised the 1940 grand list from $l66. .250, 900 to $l66,- 500, 900. Estimated revenue from liq- uor licenses was raised from SIPS. .000 to $l35. 900. and estimated revenue from miscellaneous sources raised from $20.000 to $25. 900. s
 The $i5.000 appropriation for. the legal department for legal action against former city ofiicials con- victed of conspiracy and their bond- ing companies was slashed to $lQ- GOO, though Commissioner Pape said he believed it should be raised tc s25,00o Commissioner ooss said that (Continued on Page D

SUBMARINE TRAP BROKEN BY NAzIS
 British Disguised One of Their Subs as Dutch Steamer, But It Fails.

Berlin, Nov. 25--(UP)--The high command announced today that @ German U-boat had destroyed a British submarine .trap disguised as Q Dutch steamer, and also Q 1,000- ton naval auxiliary ship '~'''
 The sinkings occurred in the u- boats operations area" the com- munique said.
 It was the first mention in this war of British "U-boats," devised in the World War to meet the Ger man U-boat campaign. These "U- boats," disguised as impotent steam- CTS, crulsed the merchant ship lanes in the World War, and on the approach of submarines, swung out hidden guns.
 The guns sometimes were behind partitions in the ships sides, and the partitions could be thrown open on an instant's notice. Other had guns hidden on decks, or in life- boats, from which the sides swung down. They became an effective weapon in the anti-submarine war fare.

 Alleged

New York, Nov 25-(UP)-Judge James G. Wallace deliberated today on whether to dismiss a charge that the $7l702 which Fritz Kuhn spent to move his Golden Angels" fur niture across the country was em- bczzled from his German American bund.
 He had dismissed five >of the 10 grand larceny and forgery counts on which the fuehrer is being tried, an- nouncing that he would sleep on'' the two counts involving the furni- ture moving bill of Mrs. Florence Camp, blond California divorcee who testified she had repaid $500.
 The three counts which Judge Wallace refused to dismiss. and which will 60 to the jury Monday or Tuesday. are based on $500 tn bund funds which Kuhn asserted were paid to Attorney James D. C. Murray. who denied that he ever received the money.
 Charges that Kuhn stole an addi- tional e4.424 from the bund trea- sury were stricken from the indist- ment on the ground that Che state had failed of proof"
