turned in the fire departments
bright red automobile yesterday
from trip to fire chiefs conven-

trip was official business, Larch-

it had set Wednesday as a tentative
date for hearing on the matter.

NERVES OF MANY
.LONDONERS UPSET
THROUGH BOMBINGS
FURTHER RAIDS OF GREAT
Err MAGNITUDE BY NAILS
ARE NOW EXPECTED MO-
MENTARILY
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Londoners,
whose nerves had been relaxed
many months during which Ger
man planes had not made raids on
this city, are again tense over the
two raids that were made as a
result of Raj attacks on Berlin.
1t was said today that London
ers are anticipating the Germans
will make other raids, probably on
a much larger scale than the re-
cent two, because of the demand
of Berliners that reprisals be ex-
acted for the hundreds of Ger
mans that were killed last Satur-
day and Sunday nights by Raj
bombers.
A movement, similar to the one
in 1910, is afoot again to evacuate
children and old people from this
city to various points in the coun-
try.
The number of children and
teachers killed in the schoolhouse
that was struck by a German
bomb on Tuesday mounted to
total of 81 today, due to the finding
of three more bodies in the wreck
age of the schoolhouse.

NEGRO SNATCHES
WOMAN'S PURSE
JUMPS CEMETERY FENCE
AND FINALLY MAKES
HIS GETAWAY

At o'clock this morning a
woman was attacked by negro
on White street, near Angela,
and her purse was snatched
from her.
Her screams were heard a
block or more away, and it was
not long before a large crowd
was collected at White and An
gela SITS. 1t included Merlin AL
bury, a special policeman who got
there in time to see the fleeing
negro. He ran down Angela
street, and, on reaching the cor
ner of Francis, jumped over the
Catholic cemetery fence.
The negro was a hundred feet
or more away when Mr.. Albury
arrived at the fence. He whipped
out his revolver, but, instead of
shooting at the fugitive, he fired
into the air.
The sound of the revolver did
not stop the negro, and a mo-
ment later he had disappeared.
A search was made in the Catho-
lie and Protestant cemeteries,
but no trace of him was found.

REALTY TRANSFERS.
HERE TOTALED 625.
THIS WAS NUMBER RECORD
ED LAST YEAR DESPITE
THE WAR

Despite the fact t h a t we were
at war last year, the number OF
realty transfers in Key West to-
tailed 625, which was almost two
thirds of the sales made in 1941,
when realty was beginning to
show bit of its 1925 activity in
this city.
The homestead exemptions filed
with County Tax Assessor Claude
Gandolfo up to- the closing of the
office yesterday amounted to 834.
In the, city, the number approx
mates like figure.
Mr.. Gandolfo stressed again the
fact that every year there are
some Key Westers who fail to file
their exemption applications, as a
result of which they have to pay
the full amount of taxation. which
this year is the difference be-
tween two mills and Is and seven
tenths of mills.
Saving the difference is just
like being given money, not earn
ing money, because you have to
work for that. In the case of ex-
emptions it requires only a mo-
ment. to have the application fill
ed out, and in that moment one is
in pocket sums ranging up to a
weeks salary even in these days
of high salaries"

The Chamber of Commerce to-
day adopted the following reso-
luton concerning the garbage
collection situation in Key West:
Whereas, the City of Key
West, Florida, has now been
without any systematic collec-
ton of garbage for a period of IA
days, and
Whereas, in this climate, with
the temperature today at 30, this
condition is an invitation to pes
thence; a threat to life itself and
an offense to the nostri1s from
the piles of decaying animal
vegetable matter breeding swarms
of flies in many scattered locali-
ties, now
Therefore, the Chamber OF
Commerce of Key West, Florida,
does most earnestly petition your
honorable body to shorten as
much as possible the time inter-
vening between the reception o.
authorization for priority to pur-
chase the necessary equipment
with which to remedy this dan
gerous situation and the grant
ing of authorization and priority,
that very real peril to this i'm

by civilians are: family or per-
Sonal necessity driving for which
no adequate alternative means of
transportation are available and
occupational driving.
Family or personal necessity
driving is definedas driving for
purposes of essential shopping,
procuring medical attention, at
tending religious services, attend
ing wakes or funerals, attending
meetings directly related to the
occupation or profession of the
owner or person using the We
hicle, or necessar yto the public
welfare or to the War Effort, or
driving for the purpose of meeting
an emergency involving threat
to live, health or property.
The Director of the Office of the
Defense Transportation has call
ed on taxicab operators and the
general public to halt all use of
taxicabS for pleasure in the East
ern oil shortage area, which pro-
hibits the general public from
uscing taxicabS for purposes
which the ban on pleasure driv-
ing" prohibits the use of private
passenger cars.
Notwithstanding instructions to
the effect that action should be
AIKEN by the Local Plice and Ra-
tioning Board on all reports re-
ceived on cars being used in Key
West for pleasure, up to the pres
ent time no definite action has
been taken, principally because
the Board felt that the violations
reported were due to ignorance
of the provisions of the order.
Hereafter the Local Board will
take definite action on all reports
received from inspectors of the
OPA and others authorized to re-
port violations.

JAP PLANES ARE
ROUTED BY u. S.
HEAVY BOMBERS
NIPPoNESE MADE FIRST At
TACK; TWELVE OF JAP
PLANES PLUNGED INTO
SEA: OTHERS DAMAGED
By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The
war office announced today that
five American heavy, < four-mo-
tored bomberS, while attacking
Japanese ships yesterday in the
sea directly north of New Guinea.
were challenged by Is Japanese
Zero fighters.
In the dogfights which follow
ed, IL Zeros plunged into the
sea and six others, with fire
streaming from their tails, were
not expected to be able to get
back to their bases. The other
seven Zeros turned tail and es-
capped in northeasterly direc-
ton.
Not a single American plane
was lost. Two of the bombers
were hit by the japanese, who
were quick to see that those
planes were in difficulties, and
the Japs rushed in for the kill.
But the American flyers were
quicker thinkers. They had pre-
pared for just such a contin-
gency, and circled around the
damaged planes, while they
poured lead into the approaching
Japs. Four Zeros in that squad
ron were downed and another
ly damaged. The others with
drew. but while doing that one
of them came within the cross
fire of bomber and was brought
down.
The bomberS, before they start
ed their fight with the Zeros, at
tackled three Jap ships, one of
which was sunk and the other
two were set afire.
The damaged planes, flying at
reduced speeds, were kept under
the wings" of the three other
bombers, and in that formation re-
turned safely to their base.

WASHINGTON, Jan. $50

ton to the inducing of any more
men in the army, it was declar-
ed here today that bill prob
ably will be introduced in con-
gress putting a limit to the num-
Der of men that may be called for
army duty. :
Senator Bankhead is one of
the leaders of the movement. He
said that the farms gradually
are being drained of manpower,
and that if something is not done
shortly there will be an acute
shortage of food in this country
in the next year or so.
Besides, he pointed out that
the induction of so many men;
with talk of placing the number
at 100000, will have a ten
dency to disrupt economic con-
ditionS at home. Such an out
come, he concluded, would affect
adversely, in a great measure,
our fighting men at the front.
