ed fisherman, got his Bahama
sailing craft out to the spot of
rocky bottoms. When there was
no wind, he manned the big oar
and skulled out where he could
catch a bit of following breeze or
an outgoing tide. Oftentimes,
fishermen returning cast a line to
Sam and pulled him back into
port. Navy craft did this quite
often during the war rather than
let the old fisherman skull his
way back.
The sail was a bit patchy but
was strong. The boat itself is of
ancient vintage. Some say it is
just babe, about forty years old,
and others say it is so years old.
A Bahama-built boat never wears
out. AS frame or plank becomes
rotten it is replaced and like. the
cells of our body every few years
the boat is an entirely new one
along the same lines.
Who rides Wallace's boat now?
Well, Sam first sold the boat to
a tourist and recently Gould Cur
ry, who had returned from the
war, bought it and turned it over
to Earl Higgs. Higgs, who calls
himself "Two-by-Four" will car
ry out the ancient tradition of
furnishing fish to Key West
housewives at the foot of Front
street, fresh from the sea daily,
fresh and swimming about in the
big we'll in the center of the Ba-
hama boat!

eight parking meters on White

Between Fleming street and
the main entrance to the court

The vandals evidently carried

ACLlIlS uIlQeT TTeSluGIlI lIu-
mans December % immigration
directive, government commit
tee will give on-the-scene assist
ance to help speed the movement
to this country of European refu-
gees and displaced persons! The
refugees will come in under ex-'
listing immigration laws.
Headed by Ugo Carusi, COM
missioner of naturalization and
immigration of the Justice de-
partment, the committee will set
up five or six offices in the
American zone of Germany.
Stated by representatives of
the Justice and State depart
ments and the U. S. Public
Health Service, these offices will
pass on the qualifications of refu-
gees and displaced persons seek
ing to enter the United States.
Why They Stopped
During the war very few per-
sons came to the United States
from Europe. The reasons: trans
American consular offices and
obstacles imposed by enemy ma
tions.
In 1912, for example, about 10
percent of the immigration quo
tas were used. In 1913 the fig
ure sltimped to five percent. 1t
rose to six percent in 1914 and
to seven neieent in 1945.
| Now President Truman says
the United States Shares the re-
sponsibility to relieve the zap
palling dislocation of populations
in Europe"
In his directive Mr.. Truman
said:
'fTo the extent that our pres
ent immigration laws permit,
everything possible should be
done at once. to facilitate the en-
trance of some of these displaced
persons and refugees into the
United States"
The Presidents directive prin-
cipally affects two groups:
l. Natives of Central and East
ern Europe and the Balkans,
since most of the refugees and
displaced persons are from these
areas.
2. Persons at the Oswego, N.
Y, war relocation camp.
The total annual immigration
quota for the countries of Cen
trail and Eastern Europe and the
Balkans is about $4,000, says the
immigration and Naturalization
Service.
Under the law, no more than
10 percent of the annual quota
can be admitted in any month
This limits the number of per-
sons who can be plucked from
camps in Europe and moved to
this country to about 5000 a
month.
Some of the Quotas
A quota of about $4,000 of the
$4,000 annual quota for the coum-
tries of this area is allotted to
Germany. Poland has an annua
quota of 6,524, Austria lab
Yugoslavia 845, Czechoslovakia
1884, Bulgaria 100, Hungary 800
and Rumania 377.
Visas issued to refugees and
displaced persons will be charg-
ed to the country of birth. For
example, a visa issued to a Pole
in Germany will be charged to
the Polish immigration quota.
immigration quotas do not &C
cumulate in years when countries
fail to meet their quotas, as dur
ing the war.
The immigration and NATURAL
cation Service says all persons
accepted must pass the physical
and mental tests set out in the

Washington. July 13-CUP)-Adolf Hitler thought he could defeat Rus Sia in three months, and believed the United States rearmament pro- gram was the biggest bluff in world history"
 Strong Nazi submarine attacks on American shipping, Hitler thought, would delay United States entrance into the war But at the same time, Benito Mussolini believed the war party" in the United States eVentu- ally would win out because war is closer to the souls of men than peace" ~- --
 Those views of the Axis dictators were disclosed with publication of a German memorandum on May 13, 1941, meeting of Mussolini, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Rlb- bentrop and Italian Foreign Minis ter Count Galeazzo Ciano. later executed for treason.
 The German memorandum was taken from the Nazi Foreign Office, and made public by the State De- partment.
 The memorandum related that Ribbentrop told Mussolini that re- lations between Germany and Rus sia were satisfactory and that no anti-German moves were expected Should there be any, he added, Hit Ter was prepared and Russia would be out of the picture in three months.
