KEY WEST ASSURED IT WILL GET
ITS FAIR SHARE OF FOODSTUFFS

if carload of commodities that
enters Miami is assigned to Key
West, it cannot be diverted for
consumption in Miami without
a violation of the rule set up by
the Food Distribution Admins
tration.
At that point, Paul G.. Albury
stated that some wholesalers in
Miami had refused to sell him
and other grocers because the
produce could be easily disposed
of in Miami.
Mr.. Miller replied that, under
the new set-up, commodities
that reach Miami will be ear
marked for the places where
they are TO go and they will be
delivered to those places, so that
Miami, as a center of distribu-
ton, will keep commodities that
are assigned to it and distribute
the allotments for other COM
munities.
He added that, so far as ne
was able to determine, there
would not be any discrimination
IN the territory in his jurisdic-
ton, and he felt confident also
that the same fair system
would prevail throughout the
country.

GIVES REASONS FOR
CLOSING OF HOTEL
MANAGER scHUTT ALSO
COMPARED PRESENT AND
PRIOR PRICES

Peter Schutt, manager of La
Casa Marina, today cited as two
of the reasons for the closing of
that hotel on April 10 as the
mounting prices of foodstuffs and
the labor situation in Key West,
which makes it practically impos-
sible for him to keep sufficient
help.
He also gave comparisons of the
prices charged now with what they
were in pre-war days. AT present,
the daily charge is $l.25 day, be-
ginning today, on the American
plan, whereas in pre-war days,
there were no accommodations at
the hotel on that basis. IS
The price of breakfast is 25
cents; in pre-war days, IS cents;
luncheon now, rs cents; in pre-war
days, $500; dinner now, 81; in pre-
war days, $3.50 the price now,
European plan, is only $3.25 a
day: in pre-war days, $12 and up
In view Of those conditions. he
added, the company has decided
to close the hotel, as it is now be-
ing operated at loss.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE
CLAUDE cANDoLFo. HAROLD
RUSSELL AND JOE JOHN
SON WILL OPPOSE SHEER
IrF BERLIN SAWYER

Though the primary for the
nomination of a candidate for
sheriff by the Democrats of Mon
roe county is still one year and
one month away, Sheriff Berlin
Sawyer stated today that there at
least three aspirants who will OPP
pose him for the office.
Inquiries resulted in learning
that the three are County Tax
Assessor Claude Gandolfo, City
Clerk Joe Johnson and Harold
Russell, former chief deputy
sheriff and now business agent of
the Labor Union in Key West.
Mr.. Gandolfo, when questioned
about the report, said that he is
considering running, but that, as
the time is so far off, and we
being in the midst OF a war, he
could not say positively yet what
he would do. He added that, if con-
ditions warranted his entering the
race two or three months before
Primary Day, he would become
a candidate.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Russell,
when asked about the report, re-
piled thatathey had decided def
nitely to enter the race.

Key West was assured this
morning that it will get its fair
share of foodstuffs when the
equalization" plan. announced
by Prentiss Brown head of the
OPA. goes into effect on April /.
r. S. Miller. state representa-
tive of the Food Distribution
Administration. arrived in Key
West last night and this morn
ing went to the Chamber of
Commerce office to meet local
grocers and meat market men.
Stephen q. Singleton. secre-
tarY of the chamber. called up
various grccers and butchers and
asked them TO come to the
chambers offices to have a con-
ference with Mr.. Miller.
During the conference Citi-
zen reporter asked Mr.. Miller if
Prentiss Browns order would
effectively apply to Key West.
in view of the fact that prac-
tically all commodities come
here by way of Miami and the
further fact that some whole
salers in that city no longer sup
ply local trade.
Mr., Miller said that, first of
all, he is not connected with
the OPA but with the Food Dis
tribution Administration, Of
which Secretary of Agriculture
Claude Wickard is the head. He
then stated that Key West most
surely would be given its fair
share of meats and all other
foodstuffs.
Mr.. Miller explained that, in
the distribution of foodstuffs,
which is in charge of the FDA.
