Looking at Madeline on the

at her through a stereoptican.

given this "icey" blonde a good
hot cup Of adrenelin. She rolls
on the floor, makes love like she
meant it and generally cuts up
TO such an extent that we can
hardly believe that this is the
girl who made her leading men
wear Winter overcoatS and gave
directors such a chill they had
to come on the set with small
cans of Sterno.

JAPAN SEES THE HANDWRITING

The situation in the Far East Is very
delicate, with the Japanese probably con-
vinced, for the first time, that the United
States is ready to take all risk necessary to
nut an end to further aggression
While there is no way for the layman
to know the position OF the United States
has probably been made plain to Japan
The Tokyo statesmen now know that, re-
gardless of their Axis alliance, they Will
have to face the American fleet as well as
British forces in the Far East. They realize
of course. that their alliance with Italy and
Germany is broken stick so far as any help
is concerned.
There is no way for anybody to tell
what the reaction of Tokyo will be. me
war group there may be satisfied that Ger
MANY will win in Europe and that 1t might
as well go ahead with its program. Never
theless. there is a chance that sober second
thought has produced cautious attitude
and that Japan will postpone the overt act
that will bring action from United States.

GIVE THEM A HEARING

Key WeSterS in every walk Of life
have been deeply stirred during the past
few days by the disappearance of two men
in an open boat Friday and the frequently
repeated charge of Mrs. Robert Armour,
wife of one of the men, that the coast guard
base here made no effort to help in the
search.
Mrs. Armour's charges reached a sur
prisingly large number of local people
within short time after the men had dis
appeared. If her assumption is true, an
investigation probably will reveal the al
legged negligence.
Before Key Westers join in condemn
ing the coast guard however, they ought to
make an effort to get some of the facts
In the first place, Mrs. Armour and
many of the people who are demanding
action against the coast guard say they
know the base has number of ships and
ask why they were not on hand for such an
emergency. The answer is that ships here
work in week-long patrols that carry them
into the waters of Tampa, Miami, Dry
Tortugas, Cuba and as far as Lake Okee-
chobee.
The coast guards primary duty is the
patrol of deep water aids to navigation,
such as light buoys, and rendering assist
ance to ships at sea. The proof of this is in
the fact that their vessels are of deep
draught, obviously not meant for surf res
cues and work along the shore.
In the present case, two freighters had
been instructed by the base to stand by so
that seriously i'll men could be removed
Saturday morning and brought to Marine
hospital That is another of the services
primary duties and delay might have been
fatal to the sick men.
Going on the uncontradicted assump-
ton that the men, if they were looking for
shells as Mrs Armour said they were,
would have worked into the shallow waters
of the keys, no one at the base thought OF
looking in the waters of the ship channel
until it was too late.
No ore can help feeling the utmost
sympathy for Mrs. Armour and her belief
that nothing was done is understandable.
Anyone who has experienced similar
tragedy can testify that ambulances, fire
engines, doctors and all the other things
that should be moving at top speed to save
q loved one seem to stand still at the
moment when they are most needed.
Key Westers who are concerned in the
case only indirectly should consider the
whole story before they leap to the con-
clusion that the coast guard is to blame. Its
record of service is long enough and cour-
ageous enough to entitle it to fair nearing.
