There are torn up streets in Key

Singleton's Letter In The
Citizen About New Pennies
Used By Associated Press

Stephen Cochran Singleton S
letter about the ime-looking
penny. written to Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr..
and first published in The Key
West Citizen. and later used by
the Associated Press, mas elected
the information from Nellie Tay-
Tor Rose, director of the mint, that
makes exceedingly interesting
reading.
How many tons of copper went
into the coinage of pennies in
1912? To what extent could that
copper have been used in imple-
ments of war?
Mrs. Ross, who was among the
first women elected to the House
of Representatives, says that last
year 1900 tons of copper were
used in the coinage of pennies,
sufficient. she adds, to supply the
copper used in two cruisers, two
destroyers, LAS Flying Fortresses,
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1943-06-08

100 field guns, 10 howitzers, or
100000 shells for big field guns.
Mr.. Singleton's letter was
couched in light vein, and was
considered SO good the Associated
Press put it on the wires after it
had appeared in The Citizen.
Among one of the things he mem
toned was that he was out nine
cents, because he had accetped one
OF the bright pennies for a dime.
Mrs. Ross said that the new
penny was coined on orders issued
by the War Production Board,
whose sole object was to conserve
copper. Steel, she declared, Athe
least scarce" of the metals, was
used in the coinage of the new one
cent piece, and, as steel rusts east
ly. the pennies are coated with
zinc.
Mrs. Ross explained that, after
the pennies are in circulation for
a short time. they begin to
darken and are then readily dis
tinguisbable from the dime. How
ever, Mr. Singleton was shown a
darkened penny that had been
mistaken for a Decent piece.
But the inconvenience and the
occasional losing of dime are of
little consequence. it was stated,
when the American people are
told of the use to which penny
copper is now being put in the
winning of the war.

Various, Organizations Are
Formed To. Have Offices
In Washington, ills Re-
vealed
Washington Correspondent

Washington Correspondent
of The Key West Citizen)
WASHINGTON. D. c.. June a.
An even more solid solid south"
became possible today with the
informal organization of all Dixie
economic and agricultural advis-
DRY councils which have offices in
Washington.
Purpose of the organization is
to further the overall advance
rnent of Southern industry and
agriculture. The various state
groups here will exchange infor-
nation. assist each other in con-
facts with congressman and gov
eminent agencies and otherwise
attempt to present a united south
ern front. II, K. Thatcher. director
Of the Arkansas industrial and
Agricultural Council and origina-
tor Of the plan. explained.
Although loosely organized,
without a formally elected presi-
dent or other officers, the new
group is expected to give added
strength to Southern demands for
more equal freight rates, a
brighter spot in the economic
picture and aid in smoothing out
inequalities in government agen-
cy rulings.
Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Geor-
gia, Arkansas and Tennessee all
have state-supported offices here.
Other southern states usually have
representatives busily engaged in
boosting their areas needs in ths
capitol.
General purpose of the various
offices is to cooperate with their
congressional delegations in the
development of the commercial,
industrial, agricultural and other
vital economic interests of their
states.
The cooperative plan is expect
ed to aid each office increase the
work for its own state as well as
greatly boost advancement of the
south as a whole.
The Florida office is headed by
w. d. Outman, director, and How
land A. Sarr, assistant Both hail
the plan as great advance in aid
ing southern interests.
An interesting sidelight in the
development, in view of wide
spread gossip that the solid south
may break from the Democratic
party in the next national cleo
tions, is Mr. Thatcher's statement,
that the organization is entirely
unpolitical.
He said that the group was an
outgrowth of the various offices
work with the Southern States In
dustrial Council, headed by Mr..
Tyre Taylor of South Carolina
Mr.. Taylor also is counsel of the
House Small Business committee,
a group with which the new or
ganization is closely cooperating,
as well as with the Southern Con-
ference of Governors.
Mr.. Thatcher cited as an ex-
ample of work in which the Dixie
states will benefit by cooperation,
is in the fight to obtain the right
for the states to regulate and in
spect seeds and fertilizers which
Federal agencies send to the
farmers.
He declared that freedom OF
Federal goods from the state
rules were hurting crop produc-
ton and reducing inspection fees.
The state regulation bill was in
troduced in the House by Repre-
sentative ). Hardin Peterson OF
Florida. Senator Claude Pepper
offered companion measure in
the Senate.
