SWEAT 1T OUT; GENTLEMEN

"When an immovable body meets an
irresistible force"
The Boss had hard job trying to re-
call that quotation to apply it to the dead
lock in the Florida legislature over the re-
apportionment bill.
He asked the writer about the quota
ton, but he was mulling over an editorial
he intended to write about the Key West
city government that, beginning next No
vember, will be in the hands of the peo-
pie, and, therefore, he was unable to recall
the quotation.
But when the Boss is stumped he per-
sists until he's ''unstumped', so Friday
morning there it was on two-by-three blue
slip, ''When an immovable body meets an
irresistible force"
That's what is happening now in the
legislative halls of Florida" the Boss said,
lat an expense of $4,000 day to the tax
payers"
Readers of The Citizen may recall
that. many a time, it has been proposed to
divide Florida because of the decided diff
ference in attitude of the progressive peo-
pie of South Florida, and the attitude in
north and west Florida of What was good
enough for grandfather is good enough for
u.s."
In no other state in the Union is there
so great a difference in outlook as there is
between the people. of South Florida and
those in the. remainder of the state. Of
course, there are many exceptions in both
sections, 2but that is the picture generally.
And the senators from the north and
west have majority, and they are insistent
that there shall not be any reappOrtiOn-
ment, regardless of the far greater popu-
lation in South Florida, that will upset
their majority
So there you have it: the stubborn, i'm
movable body from north and west Florida
withstanding the irresistible force of prog
ress.
1t would be purely a guess to say
whether the body or the force will be tri-
umphant. The senators from the north and
the west have been seasoned by the ode
lightfully" hot summers in Tallahassee and
vicinity, about which Governor Caldwell
spoke briefly, without cracking a smile.
His few remarks make up the niftiest legis-
lative dig we have heard about in many
day.
However, here's hoping that the legis
lators from the south will sweat out the
"delightful' Tallahassee summer without
budging from their right and just position.

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's native may have many
queer notions and the mind may
have a trend toward the unusual,
perhaps taken up with religion
or some Kindred study. There is
indicated friendship with many
notable persons, a taste for scien-
tific subjects when other aspects
favor, and a good and able mind.
But there is danger of making
too much of the mysterious.

records which told. in their own
words OF the enslavement Of nearly
7 .000, 900 foreigners and the extermi-

Hjalmar Schacht, former Reichs-
minister of Economics who considers
himself an abused party In these
proceedings, holds grimly to the
hope of acquittal. The others seemed
to be preparing themselves for a
sentence of death.
Goering's joviality and confidence
have faded. He is reported torn be-
tween fear of the future of his wife
and daughter, now held in an
American prison camp, and dread
that his boastful reputation as an
honorable soldier, will be soiled for
all time.
Goering's personal influence over
the other prisoners is waning, and
there is a falling out among the
Nazi defendants. Such men as Ad-
miral Karl Doenitz and Baldur vor
Schirach are openly 'criticizing the

Temperature Tested
In Place Where CarIan
Baby Was Found
By the Associated Press.


CHELSEA, Mass, Dec. 17.-Pans
of ordinary drinking water were
being used today in a scientific ex-
pertinent designed to aid medical
investigation of the death of six
month-old Ronald Carlan, whose
mother is Under arrest charged with
his murder.
Medical Examiner William j.
Brickley directed that the pans be
placed at the exact spot, under the
lower drawer of a China closet in
the Carlan home, where detectives
found the body Friday, 16 days after
Mrs. Rose Carlan had notified police
the baby had been kidnapped from
his carriage near his home.
No Marks of Foul Play.
DR.. Brickley ordered that hourly
temperatures be made of the water.
He told newsmen he could not
understand how the child's body
could have remained in the close
confines of the compartment for 20
days without giving off an odor and
that he wanted to see if the water
would freeze.
He said he hoped to determine
by the tests if the baby's body could
have frozen at any time while it
was under the china closet.
Last night, the medical examiner
said his preliminary examination of
the body showed no outward marks
of foul play" adding that miscro-
scopic tests probably would be con-
cluded by Wednesday and chem
ical analysis in about 10 days.
Charged With Beating.
In District Court Saturday, Mrs.
Carlan was charged formally with
the murder of her son.
Assistant Clerk of Court Stephen
White read the charge that the
mother did assault and beat one
Ronald Carlan with intent to mur-

did murder the said Ronald Carlan."
