WlLLKIE CONFER
Republican Candidate Starts
Auto Tour Of Colorado
Sugar Beet Area

DENVER, July
L. Willkie questioned livestock men
on cattle and sheep economics at
an informal conference today, then
left on an auto tour Of the northern
Colorado sugar beet area.
The republican presidential NOM
inee said his meeting with the live
stock growers was a beautiful
conference.
1T was very informal" he con-
tinued. They let me ask them
questions about the econo-
mics of cattle and sheep raising
and the laws regulating grazing"
Also discussed was the question
of sanitary regulations governing
the import of South American cat
tie.
Willkie said his visitors we're in
terested in the reciprocal trade
question and that they did not want
any agreements which would let
imports into the country to COM
pete with products of which the
United States had a surplus.
Willkie arrived from his vacation
this morning for the conference
headquarters at Colorado Springs
with the cattle growers, represent
ing ten western states.
Afterward, he told a crowd at
Union stockyards that IF you elect
me president you will have one
who understands the problems of
the American people because I've
lived them and know them.
II know something about the
democratic way of life because I
have lived it.
1T is composed of people such
as you-people I grew up with and
worked with.
Willkie asserted he learned about
civil liberties lin the hard strug-
gle for survival and added he
had come up the hard rather
than the soft route to his present
position.
This great democracy" he told
his cheering audience, must be
preserved at all hazards" l

HEAR s. S. CUBA
Old Schedule To Return
MAY RESUME RUN
sssOssssss.s. ssssssss


Persistent rumors that the P.
& o. Steamship company was
planning to return the S. S. Cuba
exclusively to the Havana-Key
West-Tampa run went uncon-
firmed today insofar as local of
ficials of the line are concerned.
The rumor is that because the
Eastern Steamship company has
ordered the S. S. Evangeline into
the Miami-Havana service for the
season, the P. & 0. would pull
the S. S. Cuba off that service
and restore the full Key West
Havana service in effect until
two weeks ago. In short, the S.
S. Cuba would soon again be
making two, instead of one, trips
to and from Key West and Ha-
Vana.
Key West officials of the P. g.
o. said they had heard nothing
regarding such a change in the
operations of the S. S. Cuba. Ac-
cordingly they are going forward
on the schedule that has been in
effect lately. Under that sched-
ule the Cuba leaves here at 1890
a. m. every Sunday, arrives at
Havana at 5 p. m. the same day;
leaves Havana every Thursday at
9 a. m. and arrives at Key West
at 3:15 p. m. the same day. Be
tween Sunday and Thursday
each week the Cuba makes a
round trip to Miami from Ha-
Vana.
Nothing new has developed in
the report that the Cuban Tourist
commission was planning to place
"a Norwegian boat into regular
ferry service between Havana
and Key West. Chamber of Com
merce officials are inclined to
believe that the proposal to es-
tablish such a service has run
into some economic snags.

'SNIPE' NOW

OTHERS CONTEMPLATED

Following the lead provided
by other clubs in the state, the
Key West Yacht Club has adopt
ed the Snipe as its one-design
class boat as being suited to Key
West waters and easy and mex
penSive to build.
A Snipe is now under con-
Struction in the carpenter shop at
Key West Barracks by Leslie B.
Albury. quartemaster mechanic,
who was a shipwright in the
navy for many years and who
has had considerable experience
in small boat building.
The public is invited to inspect
the Snipe now under construction
and to observe its progress week
day afternoons from 400 to 500
o'clock.
It is expected that other Snipes
will go under construction in the
near future.

zen undertook to seek further
into the question of so-called il
legal procedure followed by the

Accordingly, an interview was

member of the Board Several
important sidelights on the re-

opinions held by Mr.. Curry,

herewith:
At the outset, Mr.. Curry stated
that-"at a glance, the auditors
report might be considered an
unfavorable reflection on the

analysed properly, it will be
noted that the report covers a
