Because the proponents Of the
City Manager plan have made
such extravagant claims about
the alleged complex and en-
tangled scheme of our present
Commission form of govern
ment, let us in this article look
at it, explain it in plain English
and see if it is SO complex, and
whether or not bringing in a So
called Manager will immediate
ly unravel its alleged complex
tiles.

Navy Sends Armada
In 'Lasf-Chance' HunI
For s Missing Planes
Rs the Associated Press.


MIAMI, Fla, Dec. IA vast sea
and air armada was ordered out to-
day to scan 100000 square miles of
the Atlantic In "last-chance" eff
fort to rescue n men who disap-
peared with formation of five tor
pedo bombers and a missing search
plane.
The Navy alone ordered 24s
planes into the air, while 10 surface
craft-including the baby flattop
Solomons-numerous merchant ships
and other searchers made it prob
ably the biggest rescue effort of
peacetime. ~
Two clues seemed sufficiently
definite to remove some of the mys-
terry that cloaked the disappearance
of the entire formation of bombers,
carrying IA men, and the big Mar
tin rescue craft that sought them in
the Atlantic Wednesday with 10
men on board.
One was word from the S. S.
Gaines Mills that it saw an ex-
plosion at sea and what appeared
to be an airplane falling off New
Smyrna beach at 7:5o pm. We'd
nesday. That may have been the
fate of the PBM search craft.
The other clue was report by
the airport weather station at
Miami that a large area of tur-
bulent air rolled out of a storm
centered over Georgia. swept over
Jacksonville about noon and reached
Miami by nightfall.
A meteorological freak-squalls
on the surface, 40 mile winds at
1000 feet, and full hurricane of rs
miles an hour at 5000 feet-was re-
corded at pm. Such develop
mens could easily have carried the
torpedo planes miles out of their
practice area.
The missing formation was last
heard from at SIS pm. and its
location was given as rs miles
northwest of Cocoa, Fla. At that
time the planes had slightly more
than one hours fuel supply. They
may have been as much as 200
miles at sea.
Cant tell whether over Atlantic
or Gulf of Mexico" the final mes
sage was reported to have said.
Today's vast search was a re-
newal of yesterdays hunt when
planes scanned all of the Florida
peninsula and sea area reaching
$50 miles from the coast. Today
planes and ships were ordered to
look at every square mile of sea from
north Of Key West to north of
Jacksonville for a distance $50 miles
out from the coast.
