Il constituents who may wish
to be released from the armed
forces but do not have the re-
quisite number OF points, / have
a solution. offered free by the
Ravy-just start growing too
This already has worked out
In the case of 1S-year-old DON
aid Holler of Jeanette, Pa, who
grew two and a half inches
during the six months and 19
days he was in the navy. He
went in at 6 feet 31a INCHES,
and came out at 6 feet 6 inches.
The case of young Mr.. Holler
and his beanstalk proclivities
was very interesting, but un-
fortunately il created a wide
misunderstanding. The de a
seemed to get around that the
navy had established a height
limit and that any one over it
was automatically entitled to
discharge.
/ received quite a few letters
myself from navy men, all
claiming TO be oversize and con-
sequently in line for discharge.
Always wishing TO help the Gus
toners. / called the navy and
asked TO be Strengthened out.
The fact is that no such thing
as height limit has been set.
However. in cases of very tall
sailors, the navy makes what il
calls a medical survey" Each
case is decided individually, with
the medical surveyors having
the last say.
Oversize sailors actually are
a problem. They're too large
for the hunks. and it's hard
keeping them outfitted. --.--

REGARDING GRAFT

Editor, The Citizen:
. According to the article in The
Key West Citizen last evening
stating that Rev. E. S. Doherty
refused to make a statement be-
fore the Grand Jury as to the ac-
cusation he made against the City
Compassion last week regarding
graft, we feel if Rev. Doherty was
sincere in his accusation he would
have exposed the guilty party
or parties to the Grand Jury.
If Mr.. Doherty isn't man
enough to do this for the protec-
ton of the people of his church
and of the people of Key West,
will he be man enough to come
back to the Commission meeting
next Tuesday evening and make
an apology just as loud as he
made his accusation?
If he considers it all right in
his heart to accuse some innocent
person, we won't have much re-
spect fon. him if he doesn't rectify
his statement in public. AS of
the Commissioners accused, we
expect Rev, Doherty to make this
public apology. -, ,~-~r.s
