WILL KEY WEST SURVIVE !?


A city councilman remarked to The
Citizen that "about 1907 other city en-
ployes or former employees are lining up
to apply for city pensions. He explained
that he did not mean 100, or number near
that figure, but had used the term to
mean that many others were preparing
to step forward twice month to get mon
ey from the city on the ground that, under
the law. they are entitled to it.
Several property owners have re-
marked to The Citizen that they doubt if
Key West will be able to survive under the
burden of the prospective pension pay
ments, and those Key Westers remarked
that, SO far as they have been able to
learn, only few residents seem to be
aware that the money that will be paid out
in pensions is the same money that tax
payers and rentpayers have paid to the
city.
Still fewer, it was further remarked,
seem to be aware that the higher the pen
sion roll the more taxes will have to be
paid.
A former city employe, who is eligible
for pension, told The Citizen that he has
not applied for it because he feels the city
does not owe him anything, and that his
conscience would not let him rest if he ac-
copied pension. ta4rr
when I ran for office knew what
the job, for which 1 aspired, would pay,
and knewitoo that part of that payment
would be in warrants, which | would have
to discount. But nobody forced or even per-
suaded me to rum / did so ION my ons fully
aware of what / was to get if elected. And
got what | knew / would get, so if /
tried to get more at this late date because
of the looseness of our pension law, would
have to buck my conscience hard and often.
IF everybody / have heard about gets
a pension, then the pensions the city will
pay out will be larger than the payroll.
Under such conditions, it will be impossible
for the city government to function effic-
iently. Something must be done to save the
city from what appears to be its financial
ruin" asa
He did not suggest what SHOULD be
done, but SO far as The Citizen can see,
only one thing can be done that will save
the city from grave financial difficulties,
and that is to have the pension law changed.
In no other city il, the !. country can an en-
ploye receive pension for serving 10 years,
even in broken periods the law provides,
and in no other city in the country can one
gets pension before he reaches specified
age. :,
In Key West, one may get a pension
when he is 80 years of age, or younger,
provided he has served the city 10 years.
Besides, in cities under civil service,
every payday percentage of the salaries
is deducted, as the federal government
does. and the state government also, in
those cases where pensions or annuities
are paid, but in Key West no deductions
have been made from salaries.
1t is a grave state of affairs that faces
the city, and the quicker something is done
to remedy it the better it will be for the
city's financial structure.

were not heard of in his time. The papyrus

Yanks Regain InitiatiUe

AS the Russian fighting developed,
the Nazis looked with apprehension
to the west, where they feared an
other about thrust against the
Rhineland.
Regaining their balance after the
German break-through of a month
ago, Allied forces were back knock
ing against the Nazi frontier, with
the British Second army punching
toward the Roer river along a broad
front, and the u. S. First and Third
armies whiting down the remains
of the big bulge.
AS the First and Third armies
hacked off the shoulders of the
bulge, they encountered stubborn
rear-guard action as Won Rundstedt
sought to pull his prize troops back
into the Siegfried line.
While British and American forces
exploited their initiative to the
north, the Germans maintained
pressure on the lower Alsatian
plains, throwing in tanks and in
fantry to hold the positions gained
in limited offensives while main AL
lied power was diverted to Belgium.

Gets FDR's Nod

With the game having been given
presidential approval provided it did
not interfere with the conduct of the
war. major league baseball mag
mates began laying plans for the
1945 season, with their chief concern
being to scrape together teams
from the dwindling manpower pool.
Although the clubs were expected
to rely again on discharged or re-
jected army personnel, their plans
were complicated by recent govern
ment regulations calling for re-ex-
animation of 4-Fs and work or fight
orders to men under 38. Some of
these men, however, intend to enter
essential industry and arrange for
playing ball on the outside.
Because of the need for person
mel, -. kids about II will
have a wonderful opportunity to
play in the big leagues" said Clark
Griffith, owner of the Washington
Senators.

EUROPE:
Greatest OfenSiUe'

Their lines shattered and their
border lands ~imperilled by what was
described as the greatest offensive
in history, Germany's armies of the
east fell back for a feverish reor-
ganization in an effort to stem the
Russian tide that threatened to roll
right on to Berlin.
Although the Russians plunged
forward all along the sprawling
Polish plains, the drive of their First
Ukrainian army under Marshal
Konev on the rich industrial prov
ince of Silesia to the southwest con-
stituted the greatest immediate dan
ger to the Germans, with the enemy
frankly admitting its loss would seri-
ously impair their ability to continue
the war. In an effort to shore up the
Russian advance there, Heinrich
Himmler's home army was called
into action under a hail of aerial
and artillery bombardment.
To the north of this sector below
Warsaw, the First White Russian
army of Marshal Zhukov speared
westward toward Pomerania, and
also threw one wing southwark in a
move designed to hook up with the
First Ukranian force and trap Ger

Moving deeper inland down the
great central Luzon plain to Manila.
with elements probing into the noun
tains on either side to secure their
TANKS, Americans of the 9th army
under Gen. Walter Kruger pro-
ceeded with caution as the Japs held
back on committing their major
forces to the battle.
At the same time, U. S. carrier
planes ranged far to the west to
strike at enemy sources of supply
and reinforcements along the south
China coast, and u. S. army airmen
swept up and down Luzon hammer
ing at communications lines and air.

the Japs' air force.
Strongest opposition to the U. S.

famous terrain on the east flank,
where the Japs fought back hard
from caves and entertainments in
an effort to hold open the country
