EIRE'S ARMY SHRINkS
AS Raj LURES MEN

DUBLIN (AP).-Eire's army is
smaller today than at any time in
the quarter of a century of its ex-
istence. Two years ago it was
at the peak of its strength, q
striking force of almost 100000
highly trained men backed by
some 10000 members of the Lo-
cal Defense Force.
Rehabilitation, which began a
few months ago, has been unex-
pectedly heavy. Re-enlistments
have been few. Gratuities for dis
charged men amount to as much
as 100 pounds which is big moacy
to an Irish soldier.
Too large a proportion of the
discharged men are crossing the
border to Northern ireland to
join the British Army which, par pa
ticularly in the Raj, offers many
inducements to adventurous
young men. <

Various housing projects in Fey
West were designed for lowest in
come tenants previously living
under,a substandard conditions,
Key West Housing Authority Di-
rector w. B. Kirke pointed out to-
day, but as war conditions
brought increased incomes, rents
were increased by surcharges to
allow war workers TO remain until
other housing was available.
The rents are based on Us 20
1/6 of the total family income up
to OPA ceiling limits, Mr.. Kirke
explained.
Except for initial payment by
the FPHA, these projects never
required additional federal sub
sidy to meet operating expenses
or carrying charges of bonds, 4Ir.
Kirke said. This is a record of
which feWr housing authorities in
the country can boast.

In short consider this main

how about IL commissioners!

BYiJ.W.R.

Governor Miilard Caldwell is
appealing to all cities in Florida
to adopt uniform time for the en-
tire state. The governor declares
he does not care which time is Sc
lected as long as it is the same all
over Florida.
i He has already asked all mu..:-
cipalities to make a decision.
Some have done so, others are
waiting the action of the major
| ity and the rest wish to remain
as is.
Inc drive to adopt daylight saw
ing time in Florida is gaining sup.
port all over the state, however.
Miami, Fort Lauderdale, st. Pc
tersburg and other cities have al
ready announced they will change
over to daylight saving time ON
April % to conform to the faster
time of New York and other large
northern cities. - .''
AS the majority of the nation
wide broadcast over national
hook-ups emanate in New York,
the Florida Association of Broad
casters has requested that the
state change to daylight saving
time. The broadcasters claim this
must be done to avoid confusing
in the air over Florida. 't2l
West Palm Beach city commits
sion has asked its clerk to prepare
an ordinance to make the change
to daylight saving time. Final de-
cision will await report on the
action taken by other cities, as
Key West. city commission seems
to be doing. However, the WPB
commissioners have just about
decided it's best to make the
change.
Palm Beach is said to be against
the change.
President Truman has express
ed himself in favor of daylight
saving time and would make it
nationwide if the states agree.
Governor Caldwell says it makes
no difference to him which time
is adopted. A majority of the cit
les in Florida seem to favor the
change-over. So--what does. Kew
West have to say about it? 49,.
