Maj Harvey G. Callahan, police su.
perintendent, indicated yesterday he
would support recommendations by
the Police Juvenile Bureau that sex
perversion offenses involving juve-
niles be placed under the felony
classification with sitter penalties
than the law now provides.
Although he said he has not seen
the text of the report prepared by
1t. william T. Murphy, bureau head,
Maj. Callahan said he was in full
accord with any move to stiffen
penalties provided for those who
prey on adolescents and children
Under existing laws, children are
not adequately protected from
homosexuals and other types OF
perverts.
Police can charge only simple
assault or contributing to the de-
linquency OF q minor in cases where
person is caught making unnatural
advances to a child.
In addition. 1t. Murphy points out
that the number of sex offenses in
volving children is mounting, with
about 100 cases reported year ane
other scores of cases which never
are brought to police attention.

TOKYO, July At. Gen. Robert
L. Eichelberger, in an Independ-
ence Day radio address, asked his
American occupation troops In
Japan to bolster their patriotism,
set worthy example for the Japa-
nese and distrust any theology
which promises something for
nothing"
The 9th Army commander, who
led his troops from New Guinea to
: Tokyo, asked for a revival of "our
national consciousness.
I'VE are involved in a great in
ternational struggle to create an
orderly world" he said. "At home
we are fighting to reconvert our
economy to the needs of peace and
to reach major decisions on basic
domestic and foreign policies. Over
seas we are struggling with starva-
ton and hatreds among nations
which threaten world peace"
Gen. Eichelberger said occupation
forces must conduct themselves $50
that our country will be proud of
us and our former enemies respect
and admire us. 1t is by our
personal conduct and example that
the Japanese will judge democracy"
Warning against abandoning
those ancient rights and liberties
We inherited from our ancestors, -
the general urged his men to doubt
strongly any strange ideologies
which promise you something for

When the city commission to-
night gets around to the question

whether they have authority to
designate the time for the city or
submit to Attorney General Tom

ments".
The commissioners will also
have to take into consideration
the transportation schedules be-
tween Key West and Miami and
work out method by which
there will be no conflict.
City Manager Dave King said
today that Miami was expected
to make the change to Daylight
Saving Time. He added that
since the schedules for bus and
plane transportation would con-
flict with Miami's time should
Key West remain on Eastern
Standard Time he would recon-
mend to the city commission
that it adopt the new time.
This would also give Key West
ers an hour more of daylight in
the afternoons. When it is four

would be five o'clock under Day

the combined organizations. He
reasoned that 100 members each
putting up 500 not as dona-
ton or initiation but as bona
fide stockholders would be the
answer.
At this point, John Kirschen-
baum took the floor and pointed
out that this plan was not right
for it would compel person who
wanted simply to play golf and
be a member of the club to invest
money and join an organization
that he might or might not be
interested in. Also Kirschenbaum
thought the city should be con-
Sidered. He stated that the orig
inal cost of the Golf Club to the
City in September 1924 was
$250,000, with an additional ex-
penditure of 100000 made a few
years later.
This question of consolidation
was further attacked by Francis
Delaney when he questioned the
feasibility of the plan by asking
the question of why did the
country club fail in the past?"
Many statements were heard
pro and con with the non-con-

CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTRY
CLUB, GOLF CLUB BROUGHT UP

Intra-Club dinner and business
meeting of the Key West Golf
Club was held at the Gulfstream
restaurant last night with PreSi-
dent Anthony Demeritt presid-
ing. What started off as a hilar-
lous, good-natured, non-parlia-
mentary procedure meeting be-
came holly contested when con-
troversial subjects were intro
duced at the meeting.
Motion to have committee
draw up the bylaws of the club
with thought of incorporation
of the club into a non-profit Or
ganization was approved aEt:
committee appointed. This COM
mittee is to draw up the plans
and present them at the next
meeting.
Harry knight stated that pres
ent procedure for admitting new
members in the club was made
quate and tended to retard
growth of the club by becoming
too exclusive. Glenn Price, Curry
Harris, Bob Spottswood all spoke
against Knights statements and
thought that present procedure
of allowing the board of direc-
tors to approve or disapprove
applicants was the correct thing
to do.
Captain Hamilton who more
than any other member has done
the most for the club, and has
saved the organization consider =
able funds by aiding in the i'm
provement of the course, spoke
on the theme that the club should
work out its own problems, that
the Navy would probably not be
here permanently in its present
strength, and wanted to know
what future plans were being
considered by the club. He spoke
in favor of the Golf Club and
the Country Club getting to-
gether and becoming one.
Bob SpottsWood spoke earnest
ly on consolidation of the two
clubs and stated that it would
take $4,000 to place the now
defunct Country Club back into
operation. He thought it could
be made into a paying PROPOSE
ton, and suggested that the club
require a 500 payment from
each member as a fee for joining
