 hawk" Featured

There will be a double feature bill for the Capitol Theatre tonight and tomorrow.
 One of the features is "Mutiny on the Blackhawk," co-starring Richard Arlen and Andy Devine with Noah Beery and Constance Moore, supporters.
 Stressing action, thrills and dra- matic suspense. highlights of the swiftly paced film feature a wild mutiny aboard a slave-ship on the high seas, the bartering of natives in a tropical paradise and power full battle scenes between enraged California settlers and the Mexi- can army.
 Ginger Rogers and William Powell appear in the Star of Mid- night
 Woven around New York's soci- ety and night life, this modern, sophisticated mystery drama fol- lows no charted course. The red haired Ginger, in the role of a young society beauty, takes the aggressive, and it's hard to tell whether Powell is willing victim, or an apprehensive clinger to the standard of bachelorhood. In other words, it's the man in the case who keeps the girl and the audi ence guessing,

But in their half of the fifth the indominitable Siems-Drake gents burned up the diamond, scoring three more runs and putting the game on ice in surprise victory. A short rally in the ninth saw the Navy almost tie the game but the most they realized were three runs, not sufficient to overtake their adversary.

Much has been said in the columns of
this paper on subjects of planning, with
emphasis on the need to set up a Planning
Board for the City of Key West.
Monroe County has a Planning Board,
and ever though its decisions are only
given from an advisory standpoint having
no constituted authority to do more, the
work done by this group has proven OF
wide benefit to the county and city. s@~
Key Vests problems needful of in
telligent planning effort, as all will agree,
are many. As it is row, various civic and
governmental groups become interested in
one or more projects, all of benefit to the
city to be sure, and they try, in their own
way, to see them through to a successful
finish. It's pretty much hit-or-miss way
of doing things, however in that so often
the cooperative push required to put the
project over is missing, chiefly because
other groups are busily engaged in their
own ideas of what the city needs most.
It is likely that DR.. Rexford Tugwell
will dwell at some length on this subject
of a Planning Board way of performing
tasks in Key West at the meeting tomor
row night, which, by the way, should be
represented by every group in the city. AT
any rate, we are sure he will agree that
steps should be taken to form the nucleus
OF a Planning Board at least
Effective planning, of course, cannot
succeed or have much bearing in any COM
munity without constituted power to act.
The future effort, Their, should be towards
the formation of a permanent commission
with widely defined powers granted by
amendment to the charter and approved
b. the State Legislature.
This accomplished, and it is by no
means an impossible task, Key West may
then start on the road towards sane &C
cOmplishment of its most necessary prof.
ects. The board, acting on tried and
proved principles, would first, no doubt,
list the projects most desirable, in numeri
cal order Concentration would then be
turned to the solving of problem number
one and when that is accomplished, move
OIL to the second on the list.
Further benefit to the city through
the establishment of a legally-cOnstituted
flaming Board is in the control such
body exercises over the city's expenditures
for improvements. The council would
know that it could refer all such projects
to the board, ard, in so doing, it lodges
all responsibility in the matter of choosing
which falls in the necessary classification.
Key West needs Planning Board.
s Dlan for Kew West is the first problem
to tackle.

"ENGLAND RESPONSIBLE"

1t is very interesting, from time to
time, to read about the news that is being
presented to the people of totalitarian ma
tons
Along this line, Virginia Gayda, often
a mOuthpiece for Italian fascism, tells his
readers that the entire responsibility for
the present bombings of London lies solely
with England"
Along the same line, he quotes the
New York Times as declaring, Germany
will not hesitate to use gas and declares
that this means that England is preparing
to use gas and, as is customary, puts out
an attempted alibi.
OF course, any intelligent American
knows that Great Britain has nothing TO do
with the news articles which appear in
New YOrk's great newspaper, but the
Italian Government, in complete control of
all information permitted to reach the
Italian people, uses any technique that it
thinks will tend to create hatred of the
British.

NO BUSINESS ABOVE GOVERNMENT

There are individuals in this country
who believe business should be operated
by, and for the benefit of, wealth. They
include many wealthy individuals, the
employees of wealth and, it may be said,
the beneficiaries of wealth distributed in
the form of gifts. donations and other
largeSSes.
If any American takes time out for
thinking. il should be obvious that the
government of any country must have
powers superior to any part of the govern
ed nation. This applies TO business as we'll
as to individuals. Whenever any business,
or group of business leaders, acquire the
idea that it, or they, are above the gov
eminent itself, the time has come for the
government of this country TO assert its
power.

For five months before the Demo-
cratic Convention in Chicago. Mr. ROose-
veit was actively cOnniving in the move
ment to renominate himself. All save the
uniformed believed that he was forcing his
own denomination. although there were
these who believed to the last that he
would not accept. but they did not know
the man. To quote Frank r. Kent. of the
Baltimore Sun: '"The facts that the
draft at Chicago was phOney: that Mr.
Roosevelt dictated the action of the con-
vention over a special telephone wire to
his special representative, Mr.. Harry Hop
kins; that it required all his power as Presi-
dent, plus the Kelly-Flynn- Hague ma
chimes, to crush out the party opposition
and put his nomination over, these facts
are too we'll established to need repetition.
They can be proved up to the hilt. Even
some of his most devoted friends were dis
gusted at the fraudulent character of his
message to the convention and the fakery
of the whole draft performance
