.DODCED BLOCKADE

Officially there isn't much
known about the I5,OO0-ton
Swedish freighter "Saturnas'
which is anchored in the harbor
at present off Fort Taylor, except
that she halls from Goteborg, her
captain is NJ. Berg and her deS-

that she will await orders from
her hOme-pOrt before proceeding

and everything that goes with

modern, since that phrase was
composed, mine fields.
Charles Johnson, owner of
Silver Palms Hotel, is response
bic for the unofficial story, dis
covered following the original
report of the ships arrival in The
Citizen Monday. Being a native
of Sweden. in fact he found out
upon inquiry that he hailed from
the same area that the captain of
the SatuTnas does, Johnson de-
termined that he would find out
a few things about the ship. He
did just that, following a trip to
the vessel yesterday in his own
Ilaunch-and here's the unofficial
story:
Captain Berg thinks that his
ship was the last to run the mine
and German-aerial bombing
blockade off the shores of
Norway since the outbreak of
the Scandinavian war three
weeks ago. The SaturnaS. he
told Johnson, had a narrowing
experience, lodging the mine
fields off the coast of Norway
enroute from Goteberg to deS-
tination not mentioned. Then. a
bit later, the ship was the target
of bomb after bomb dropped from
Nazi bombing planes.

GOMEZ SOUGHT
QUALIFIED LIST
oUERIED COUNTY COMMITS.
SIONERS AT MEETING
LAST NIGHT

Rogelio Gomez addressed the
county commissioners at their
meeting last night and asked
why there was to be no qualified
list of voters for the coming pri-
maries printed, as has been done
heretofore.
Mr.. Gomez made quite a
lengthy address and pointed
out that the county had been re-
districted and many residences
had been changed by the dwell
lers in the city and this fact
would be the cause of much con-
fusion at the polls on election
day, and predicted that there
would be great congestion.
In conclusion, Mr.. Gomez said
that he thought that the voters
should be advised as to the To-
cation of the precinct in which
they were to vote, and the best
way in which this could be done
was by publication of the quail
fled list. which he was satisfied
would be appreciated by the
voters of Key West.
Mr.. Gomez was told by Attor-
ned w. Curry Harris that the law
did not require the publication
of the qualified list for primary
elections, and Commissioner Viii
liam MonSalvatge said that the
county had no money to use in
this manner.
Mr.. Harris did say that there
would be published in The Citi-
zen of Saturday a complete and
understandable outline of the
meteS and bounds of the districts,
and the exact location of the poll
in each district, which he be-
lieved would be understood by
every voter.

He pointed out that the states

an increase of S41,OOO,OOO over
seven years. "And yet we
haven't done a thing for our peo-

Whitehair said Florida had de-
velOped a fine statistical record
gathering machine but it costs so
much there's no money left to
correct the things the machine
discovers should be corrected.
We're going to end the regime
of the politicians who built the
machine which is spending the
peoples money so laviShly for
the few, he declared. We're
going to take care of the masses

LONDON. May 2.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain advised par
Lament today that the Allies. in
joint conference. had decided to
abandon their expeditionarY eff
fort TO Dust the Nazis from south
Norway for the time being. and
that from now on. main concern
would be conferred on Southeast
Europe where. he stated. recent
developments made il appear that
Killers next "blitzkrieg" would
come.
Many ships of the English
fleet, together with a number of
French vessels, have been or
dered to the eastern end of the
Mediterranean Sea, according to
advice released here this morn
ing, which, as interpreted by
naval observers, is meant to head
off Hitler'S supposed next move
and also to serve as a warning to
MuSsolini.
Italian determination, as an
nounced yesterday, to ban all
British shipping in the Mediter-
ranean, was much discussed in
navy circles here, and stringent
moves are planned to stop any
such Italian venture.
In stating that Allied Forces
had been ordered from the An
dalsnes, Dombas areas in Nor
way, Chamberlain apparently
felt that he would be subject to
vigorous accusations, as he pre-
faced the important statements
today with the plea that COM
ments be withheld until next
Tuesday, at which time a full
debate on British policy in Nor
way was to be held by parlia-
ment.
Chamberlain stated that, to all
appearances, the British had lost
their objective in the Norwegian
campaign, however, he said that
the NaziS, too, had not gained
their point. Losses, Chamber
lain said, were overwhelmingly
on the German side.
