Tourist rates averaged about SIS
per room, so that a capacity
month would have brought a
gross income of at least $4,000
The government is leasing this
hotel for $4,000 a month.
A few hotel owners bleated
and clustered, and one flew to
Washington to rally some politi-
cal pals against the high-handed
military. When he got back, SOL
dies already were occupying his
hotel, on a condemnation order.
One of the first properties ia
ken over was the municipal golf
course, at 81 a year, for a train
ing field. The city made the Of
fer, but the deal encountered un-
expected opposition from a wo-
man who had paid for some golf
lessons, and who declared that
she'd take them, if she had to
stymie the Army in Supreme
Court. She got a lesson, all right,
but not in golf.
Medical officers inspected var
ious restaurants and ordered
quick clean-ups on penalty OF
having the places ordered out-of
bounds for troops. One of the
most expensive and exclusive
hotels-rooms 500 a day and by
appointment only-had such a
dirty kitchen that officers gave
up the notion of getting it clean
and ordered new equipment.
ARMY CLEANS HOUSE
A beach hotel was rejected by
the Army because of its sagging
construction and the impossible
ity of evicting the cockroaches.
Some other places were ~ NJ
ed as fire traps.
The milk supply was consider
ed unfit for soldiers, and 5000
gallons daily were imported in
g1ass-lined tank cars until con-
ditions were improved at local
sources.
Gambling houses and COM
mercial prostitution, which long
have defied or evaded civil au-
thorities, were quickly put out
of business by the Army. Miami

Turf Measure
Still Tied Up
Sponsors Of Bill
Charge, ~'FinosIins'

LANSING, Feb. 18- A
bill designed to give the state a
bigger return from its invest
ment in the Detroit Fair
Grounds race track remains
stalled in the House State At
fairs committee, its sponsors as
sorting it is in danger of becom-
ing a victim of "some finagling."
Rep. George N. Higgins, Fern
dale Republican, who introduce
ed the measure, said he has
learned only four of the five
votes needed to release it from
committee ean~be counted now.
He asserted he would seek re-
prisal if it were killed in COM
mittee.
I'm going to try a while
longer to have it sprung from
the committee" Higgins declar-
ed, land if that doesn't work,
I'll introduce a bill to abolish
horse racing entirely, and do
some very plain talking right
on the floor"
Higgins accused Floyd Fitz-
simmons, Benton Harbor sports
promoter, of lobbying against
the bill, but Fitzsimmons said,
I'm not monkeying with the
bill at ALL"
Higgins bill would allow the
Detroit Racing association,
which now holds a long term
lease on the track, to deduct 10
per cent of all sums wagered on
the pari-mUtuel machines on
horse races. More than $780,
600 1000 was bet last year.
OF this, the state would take
three to four per cent under his
bill, instead of its present ST.
500 a day, and the Racing asso-
citation would receive the bal
ance. 1t now takes 7 IL per
cent.
Other features of the bill
would establish a commission to
administer racing in Michigan,
instead of one-man administra-
tive authority.

Governor Gets
Child Program
Institute Advocates
Clearance Of Slums

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. 10
Up Stressing environments
influence on children, the Mich
igan Child Guidance Institute
recommended today the estab-
lishment of State and County
"housing authorities" to work
for the elimination of slums.
The Institute, reporting on
five years of research, submitted
to Governor Kelly that proposal
and a number of others in what
il called "the most comprehen-
sive program for delinquency
control ever drafted in this
state"
The Institute, headed by DR..
l.. J. Carr, psychiatrist, said its
program would "streamline pub
lie agencies for preventive pur-
poses and bring the States
treatment facilities abreast of
the best in the United States"
Under the program, each
county would have a housing au-
thority vested with power OF
eminent DOMAIN to overcome the
problem of a curing large
tracts of land for development
by private builders. The Insti-
tute said this would SurmOunt
the big obstacle to mass pro-
duction in housing.
Further, the Institute propos-
ed creation of a State Child Wei
fare Council headed by the Gov
ernor, establishment of a delin-
quency prevention division un-
der that Council, and reorgani-
cation of Juvenile Courts into
Children's Courts and Juvenile
Courts proper.
A state-aided child and juve-
nile probation system separate
from and independent Of the
State Corrections Department
also was proposed.
1--WE recommend and warn in
the strongest language against
the temptation to transfer proba-
ton or parole supervision of
children and juveniles to the De-
partment of corrections" the In
stitute said.

Soldiers Wife Sole Tourists
as Army Rescues Miami Resorts

time low that local promoters
are practising selling each other
lowtide residence lots and bus
mess sites" back in the Ever
glades. Gamblers are playing
solitaire, and people who own
racing dogs are using them to
hunt real rabbits.
Incoming trains and buses dis
charge scores of women arriv-
ing to visit their uniformed hus-
bands, but these wives are not
regarded as tourists because the
Hotel Association has agreed to
a maximum rate for servicemen
of SO single and SIS double. A
tourist would pay two or three
times as much.
A few charter boats still can
be had for oeep sea fishing, but
the vast fleet of pleasure craft
has vanished into drydock or
the custody of the Coast Guard.
The e-driving ban killed
horse-racing at Tropical Park
and Hialeah, and other outlying
attractions such as monkey jun
giles and Seminole villages are
in a bad way. At ostrich farms,
the birds no longer have to
stick their heads in the sand
when they want to be alone.
The Army and Navy occupa-
ton of this region doesn't
amount to a boom, by a long
shot, but it certainly is a boon.
Only a year ago, Greater Miami
was threatened with a fate
worse than debt; indications
were that it not only would be
impoverished for the duration,
but probably deserted as it was
during the worst of the depres-
sion, when palmettos grew in
outlying streets and bobcats rails
ed families in neglected formal
gardens.
POORER, BUT OPERATING
Gloom gathered like a killing
frost while civic leaders tried to
figure a way to boost the econo-
my of an area virtually without
defense projects. In January,
1912, although the nation was
mt yet awake to the gasoline,
rubber and rail-travel emergen-
cies something like $4,000 rooms
stood vacant here while land
lords muttered among their
mortgages and tax bills.
Then came the Army.
At first there was only a lone
lieutenant, empowered to make
inquiries and to state that the
Army Air Force Technical
Training Command might start
a school on Miami Beach. Hotel
owners mistook the signal for
the approach of a Washington
gravy train and began to talk in
such shakespeare terms that the
Army said, in effect: "Okay-
skip it. Well try st. Petersburg
instead"
That attitude brought panic
to the hotel men, who formed a
committee and promised cooper
alton. When negotiations started,
landlords soon learned that they
weren't going to get rich from
their khaki clientele. But at
least they'd be able to meet tax
es and notes, and at wars end
they still would have their
buildings, less depreciation.
Low BUT SURE e.

Vacation Pay

The annual vacation checks were
received on last Friday, August
Is. The vacation pay checks re-
ceived for one years seniority
were for 40 hours pay. Employees
with three years seniority or
more received 80 hours vacation
pay. This is a great change, if
one will think back a few years,
and remember when vacation pay
was unheard of for the average
worker. We can remember when
the word vacation pay for all
workers was greeted with corn
and derision by the management
of General Motors.
Since the inception of the CIO,
vacation pay for all employees has
become a commonplace event. We
wish to point out to the member
ship that their union, the JAW
CLIO is still in there pitching. It
is true, that we are at war, and
must above all else, set our sights
for the winning of the war in as
short a time as possible.
The vacation period will be
from Sat, Aug. e, until Sept. 4.
At least, that is the information
we have at the time of going to
press. It is our understanding
that on that date Moraine Prod
ucts will 60 down for inventory.
