Work viii Be Rushed TO
Completion On Hous-
ing Units On Which
Work Was Halted


F. G. Lucas general SUI
perintendent of Fred How,
land, Inc, which company
has a contract to erect ISIS
iow-cost housing units be-
tween White and Leon
streets and Laird Avenue and
Atlantic Boulevard, inform
ed The Citizen today that or.
ders have been received from
the Navy Department in
Washington to resume work
on the project.
Construction opera lions
had been halted about a
week ago when the Navy
cancelled the contract. at
that time under a blanket
order affecting projects ali
over the country.
Mr.. Lucas stated that rs
of the units included i'm the
contract are under roof al
ready, and that 80 or more
units will be constructed as
rapidly as possible. Work
will be rushed due to the
urgency for furnishing these
additional housing structures
which the Navy is providing
in its building program in
Key West.
The order for resuming OPP
erations on the project came
somewhat as a surprise. 1t
had been assumed that since
the Navy cancelled the con-
tract this activity would be
deferred indefinitely with
the ending of hostilities in
the Pacific theater of opera
tons.
Despite this, it is very evil
dent the Navy Department
feels the housing units are
essential in Carrying on the
program as outlined regard
ing housing facilities in this
area.
Hundreds of applications
remain on file with the Navy
here for apartments or eff
cheney units.

VANDALS CARRY ON RIDICULOUSLY
IiaIN SMASHING WINDSHIELD S AND '
HEADLIGHTS OF. CARS ON STREET

A group of drunks-the
vandals must have been
drunk, for no men in their
normal minds would have
done such a thing-last night
smashed the windshields
and, in one case the head
lights, of all but one of the
cars parked along La Con-
cha Hotel on the Fleming
street side.
The exception was an
automobile, in which was a
police dog, with the win
dows slightly down SO that
the dog could breathe fresh
air, and the scene was re-
enacted this morning of
what probably occurred
when the DRINKS reached
that car.
igg tfThey must have heard
the dog growl, and, when
they saw his size and gleam-
ing teeth, were afraid to take
"a chance of smashing the
windshield and thereby pro-
vide an opening through
which the dog could have
passed to attack them"
While that scene was being en-
acted, the owner of one of the
ears swept his hand toward his
broken windshield and remarked
sarcastically, This is fine adj
vertisement for Key West"
The vandals started smashing
wihdshields at the Duval street
end of the long string of cars, and,
in one case, they were not con-
tent to break the shields alone,
but smashed a stone or a bottle
against a lower door of the car,
causing deep indentation, and,
in another case, besides breaking
the windshield of one car, SMASH
ed the glasses in both headlights.
Struck At Filling Station Pump
At. the end of the line, still not
content with their vandalism, the
DRINKS smashed the glass that en-
closes the meter of filling sta
ton pump. That blow was so
hard, the metal covering of the
meter had a hole driven through
it. I+.4
One of the cars that were
damaged was a Cadillac. Its
Windshield was in two paris.
the one on the sidewalk side
was smashed. In another car.
a whisky bottle must have been
used to smash the windshield.
because a bottle was found in
the front seat of the car this
morning.
The Citizen has been unable to
learn whether the DRINKS were
civilians or servicemen, but, in
another case that had to do with
bottle throwing, The Citizen was
informed by a resident on South
ard street, between Francis and
White streets, that three drunken
sailors, a few nights ago, scatter
cd broken bottles in the roadway
and yards and even on the roof
of one house.
Used Street Lights AS Targets
The object of the sailors was
ito smash street lights with beer
and whisky bottles. Their aim
twas poor, and when they had
used all the bottles they had, one

Green Urges President To Show Congress
Error OF Its Ways

Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green charged that Congress
is striking against the best interests
of the nation by killing unemployment
compensation legislation.
He warned that the hostile attitude
of Congress is contributing in large
measure to unrest and uncertainty and
is driving the American people to the
left.
Mr.. Green called upon President
Truman to "show Congress the error
of it's ways" and lead the nation
through the problems of reconversion
into "the economy of plenty which
America can and must achieve"
The AFL chiefs blast followed the
sudden and shocking action of the
House Ways and Means Committee in
killing the unemployment compensa-
tion bill passed by the Senate.
Mr.. Green called the House move
defiance of President Truman's urgent
recommendations and "a slap in the
face" to millions of war workers who
are now losing their jobs.
His statement, which also took cog
nizance of growing Congressional op-
position to the Full Employment bill
and other key measures on the AFL's
list of "must" legislation, follows:
"By killing unemployment compen-
sation legislation the House Ways and
Means Committee has defied the
President of the United States and
slapped in the face millions of loyal
American workers who are losing their
war jobs.
sThese workers responded to the
urgent appeals Of the government and
patriotically remained at their
machines in vital war industries when
they could have taken safer and more
permanent employment. They were
assured by the government that they
would not be made to suffer for their
loyalty.
"Now that victory has been won
Congress has let them down and re-
pudiated the solemn pledge OF the
government. First the Senate struck
out from the Kilgore Unemployment
Compensation bill the key provision
recommended by President Truman
for lifting maximum benefits to $25 q
week. Now the House Ways and
Means Committee has tabled the rest
of the bill.

In Many Places Pay Rates Are Less Than 75c Some Less

Washington, D. ca telegraphic
roundup of the employment situation

that big majority of the jobs now
offered to displaced war workers pay
"sweatshop" wages.
In city after city, the overwhelm-
ing majority of the job vacancies car
ried rates of less than rs cents an
hour and in many communities, over
half paid less than SO cents, the re-
port disclosed. That means $40 to $50
week-below the standard consid-
cred necessary by the Department of
Labor for "bare subsistence"
For example, New Haven, Conn.,,
listed 2,700 openings-40O of them at
40 to 49 cents on hour; 1900 at so
to "a cents, and only 500 at Is cents
or over. Binghamton, N. Y, itemized
$500 vacancies-500 at 40 to 49 cents;
2,200 at SO to "a cents, and only 600
at over rs cents.
Down in Montgomery, Ala, out of
1,500 openings, $50 paid less than
even the Wage Hour Act minimum of
DO cents; $50, from 40 to 49 cents;
$50, from so to rs cents, and only so,
