Proceedings Begun
To Compel Testimony

Authority for quasi i-judicial
Government agency to compel tes-
timony before it will be tested in
proceedings instituted yesterday by
the Federal Power Commission in
District Court.
Appearing before Justice Jennings
Bailey, the commission asked an
order to compel Dr. Daniel Starch,
New York economist, to answer
questions in connection with the
Government inquiry into the Asso-
ciated Gas & Electric System.
Justice Bailey ordered DR.. Starch to
show cause on February 6 why he
should not be thus compelled.
DR.. Starch appeared before the
commission on January 13 in re-
sponse to subpoena, but refused on
advice of counsel to testify.
Through questioning of DR.. Starch
the commission seeks to determine
what relationship, if any, exists be-
tween H. c. Hopson, A. G. & E. Co.
and an industrial service agency
headed by DR.. Starch.

Mrs. Roosevelt Says
Problem Of Youth

Tells Guidance Alliance
World BuIunce Must
Be Solved First

The problems of youth cannot be
solved until a solution is found for
the world economic problem, Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt told 200 dele
gates to the Alliance for Guidance
of Rural Youth in their first ses-
sion at the Mayfower Hotel last
might.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who presided at
the dinner and introduced the
speakers, advocated closer under
standing between youth of the cities
and the rural areas.
"They must work together to solve
their problems" she said. I'VE
older people have not done enough
to keep them in closer contact with
one another, and I regret the
tendency to continue that mistake

Senator Capper of Kansas and DR..
John w. Studebaker, United States
commissioner of education, discussed
Rural Youth as a National Asset
at the dinner meeting.
Rural youth is one of our most
precious assets" Senator Capper
said. although we sometimes act
as though we think food comes from
the grocer and clothing from the
tailor, we know both come from
the farmer. But the farmer does
even more. He is rearing and edu-
eating the surplus population of
the NAtfsn. 1t is sad fact that
rural schools have not kept pace
with the needs of young people.
The States must assume a larger
share in the financing of schools"
Would Raise Standards.
DR.. Studebaker also pointed out
the Importance of raising educa-
tional standards in rural areas.
Experimental programs bearing
upon rural youth migration we're
discussed at the alliances session
this morning, with DR.. Howard A.
Dawson, director of rural service for
the National Education Association,
presiding.
Mrs. Doyle. president of the Dis
trict Board of Education, was chair
man of section that dealt this
morning with specific aspects and
problems of youth migration to

Motorists Urged
To Speed Call
For >39 Tdqs

! Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer called on District motorists
today to employ little more speed
in obtaining their 1889 license plates.
Since the tags went on sale last
Monday, only $4,000 sets have been
mailed out or sold over the counter
at the Traffic Department head
quarters. This means that during
the next 81 working days approx
mately 125,oOO license plates must
be issued if all District drivers ex-
pect to have their tags before the
deadline of midnight, February %.
That's more than 1900 sets Of
tags each day." said the traffic di-
rector. IF car owners would come
and get their tags now, instead of
waiting until the last few days, they
wouldn't be forced to wait in line -
Last year on the final day, he said,

HOMES FOR ALL

1t was just before the World War
that we purchased reliable autos for less
than $780, 1t had been predicted in
about 1904 that such an inexpensive means
of transportation would come to pass. You
can we'll imagine the denials and the dis
belief that such rumOr would cause
among a doubling public. To think of an
auto within the reach of most everyone
impossible! Experts agreed it could not
be done, but we did it. ae
Who of us in Key West who do not
know or have not seen the prefabricated
houses that are going up throughout the
country? These houses are offered for
rent at SO and SIS month. The various
sections of the houses are built in factories
and are put together easily by unskilled
labor in few hours. We hear of a guam
tity production house built of glue and
wood. Today, they build you house
while you wait. But consider the price
you would have to pay if only one car was
manufactured at a time. Why not put
house production on vast basis? There
are skeptical minds, but we shall wait and
see if the outcome is not most satisfactory.
We may live to see the day when small
community will be built at one time.

KEY WEST GETS SUPPORT

Key West is getting an unsolicited
volume of support favoring Representative
Pat Cannon's proposal for a S1,00O,000
appropriation to bring the naval defenses
here up to requirements. The bulk of that
support is coming from Miami interests
which, disappointed in the effort to land
the proposed southeastern navy air base
for that area, are beginning to realize that
whatever prosperity accrues to Key West
will react favorably in Miami.
Suppose Key West is made an auxil-
larry navy air base. Suppose that the navy
yard and the submarine base here are put
on an active basis The contamination of
those two proposals would mean a SUBJ
stantial civilian payroll, well-paid naval
personnel in this city. The combination
would create a volume of business not now
enjoyed by our merchants and commercial
interests. Supply must follow demand.
Where would the supply, or the bulk of
the supply, to meet this new demand come
from?
The answer is obvious-from Miami,
Southeastern Florida's most important
trading and wholesale center. In short,
Miami would stand to benefit from any
naval development program in Key West.
Not alone would the wholesalers of the
Miami area benefit. All businesses, all
recreation and amusement enterprises there
would bnefit from a Key West naval base
on an active status Put sufficient money
into the pockets of our civilian popula-
ton, let the navy place its well-paid of
ficers and men in sufficient numbers here,
and Miami would become the periodical
mecca of hundreds of buyers and vaca-
tioniSts. Miami's business interests would
be large beneficiaries from any new buy
ing power created in Key West.
Nearly every businessman and tax
payer in Key West will come in for share
of any prosperity created by a proper and
needed development of the, naval facilities
here. They have a selfish interest in pro-
noting the campaign to bring this about
and naturally they are supporting Con-
gresham Cannon in his fight for an ap-
preparation that would put new life into
Key West. Knowing these facts, the peo-
pie of Key West, according to-. surveys
made by The Citizen, will appreciate and
formally thank the interests of Miami that
have now come to the aid of this almost
forgotten community.

WORDS OF PRAISE
Clyde-Mallory Lines,
Enroute for New York.


Editor, The Citizen:
After having spent delightful
two months in Key West l
thought It might interest you,
and your readers, to know what,
during our stay, has particularly
added to the enjoyment of my
family and myself.
First, l must pay tribute TO
your wonderful climate and to
the sea bathing, which, between
them, have restored a sick wife
and a sick daughter to radiant
nealth.
After that, as an artist, i have
greatly appreciated your Art
Center, which is one of the best
institutions of its kind ] know.
The cordiality of Mr.. Morgan
and his associates did much TO
make a stranger feel at home.
In Key West the wealth of
color and the variety of material
for painter, within small IA
dius, is most unusual.
The commandant of the Navy
Yard was kind enough to enable
us &c. ENJOY the bathing facilities
of the NavyrYard, and there, too,
contributed greatly to a pleasant
stay. Cd
The 5hospitable attitude Of
many newly made friends also
makes us feel that we must,
someday, make a return visit.
The nOrtherners, the Key West
Flower Show was something
which made a deep impression
and. before close, / must say a
word for the Key West Admins
tration, which was responsible
for the publication of an un-
usual booklet about your city,
containing publicity material
handled in an efficient and
dignified manner and reproduc-
tons, in color, of excellent wa
ter colors which should appeal to
all visitors to your fine city.

HERE'S A GOOD IDEAL

This will sing the praises of the of
ficials and police of Danville, Virginia,
who have launched campaign against
motorists who press the buttons of their
strident automobile horns unnecessarily.
Policemen, it is reported, watch es-
pecially for drivers caught in lines of traf-
fic who Immediately blow their horns the
moment the green light appears. More
over, they keep an eye on the impatient
motorist who, when he has nothing else
to do, delights in blasting the air with the
full output of his horn.
This is a good piece of work. We
hope the practice spreads throughout the
United States and that indiscriminate
users of automobile horns will be fined un-
til they learn better.
