Proposal To Improve Mercedes
Hospital Taken Up At Meeting
Held By Committee Yesterday

A committee, representing the
City Council, the County Commits
sioners, the Knights Of Pythias
and the Mercedes Hospital held a
conference yesterday afternoon
with E. H. Cato, Jr., in the office
of the Cato Realty Company, in
reference to proposal to improve
extensively the Mercedes Hospi-
tai.
1t was decided to organize a
non-profit corporation to be
known as the Mercedes Hospital,
Inc. The application for a char
ter will be made Immediately by
j. LancelOt Lester, attorney for
the corporation.
The charter applicants will be:
President, E. H. Cato. jr.; Vice
President, James r. De Land
Secretary, j. Winfield Russell;
Treasurer, Frank o. Roberts: Di-
rectors, Carl Bervaldi, Paul G.
Albury and Gerald Saunders.
Present at the meeting, besides
those named above, were Mrs.
Eva Warner and Mrs. Alvarez,
who is in charge of the Mercedes
Hospital.
With Carl Bervaldi represent
ing the County Commission as
director of the hospital, it would
be an easy matter, il was pointed
out this morning, for a loan to be
obtained from the Federal Works
Agency to repair the hospital
thoroughly and possibly enlarge
it.
The application to the agency
for a loan, through the County
Commission, would be in keeping
with the recommendation of Sur
geon General Thomas PARA. of
the United States Public Health
Service. However, whatever
course is followed with the Mer-
cedes, the outlook is good for Key
West to have a hospital that will
fill the needs of civilians that the
Marine Hospital had done for al
most a century

Wire Wheels Taken Off Ford
Automobile Found Overheard

Three new wire wheels of a
Ford va, from which the tires
had been removed, were found
this morning in shallow water on
the north side of George Gomezs
home on Palm avenue at the foot
of Newton street, by Ernest San
chez, who took the wheels to the
sheriff's office.
Deputy Sheriff McInnis said
that a theft of tires undoubtedly
had been committed. He added
that it seems clear that somebody
removed three wheels from an
automobile, took off the tires and
then threw the wheels overheard.
Search was made for a fourth
wheel, but it could not be found,
and Chief McInnis stated that
there is a possibility that the thief

Knox Claims Nipponese
Are Becoming Desperate
Over Huge Losses Dur
ing Conflict
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-Sec-
rotary of the Navy Frank Knox
announced today that Japan has
lost about rs percent of its mer.
chant fleet since the United
States entered the war. and that
the loss is of serious conse-
quence to her. considering her
far-flung possessions.
He said that it was that
thought he had in mind when
he asserted yesterday that the
Japs shortly will be desperate in
trying to relieve their garrisons
on the many islands they occupy.
AT the beginning of the war,
Secretary Knox said, the Japan
csc had about 100000 tons of
merchant shipping, and added
that at least 100000 tons of it
has been destroyed by American
naval and airforce, including the
many ships that were sunk by
American submarines, some of
which, he said, had gone virtual
ly to the shores of Japan to prey
on japanese ships.
1t will not be long, if the
Americans maintain their aver
age of sinkings of Jap merchant
ships. before japanese forces,
occupying all islands in the Pa
cific, will find themselves in the
same positions as are the Jap
garrisons at present on New
Guinea and at Guadalcanal.
