 Upon the recommendation of Po- lice Committee Chairman George Jorgenson, application of Frank M. Kardanoff to buy back into the Oc- cidental Bar partnership was un- animously approved.

 Advice of former District Engineer Col. Conrad P, Hardy, who con- ducted boat harbor hearings for the Army Engineers here this summer, was bettered by the Councils voting to make out an entirely new applica- tion for a construction permit for an additional small boat harbor here. The new application, at the demand of Nielsen, will be for harbor four times the size contem- plated under the permit the City now holds. It would include the area now set aside for the second harbor and extend northward from it. At the hearing here, Col Hardy stated that he would like to see plans for harbor three times larg- CT than the draft shown him.

 Work on repairing the present harbor is soon to begin, Mayor Hendrickson announced. A crew to run the steam piledriver just pur- chased by the City out of Army surplus is now being recruited. Pur- chase of the driver-a hurry-up bar gain at $2,700 according to reports

For Radio Listeners
By Harry Macarthur

There Is serious mental ailment
likely to overtake any one who lis
tens to the radio with some regular
ity. He is likely to succumb at any
moment to sort Of phobia, which
makes him certain that he has
heard everything before somewhere
II gentleman is a man who never
has heard a story before, a gentle
( mar is q man who does not spend
F., his evenings at home by the radio
/ Jack Benny depends for laughs
upon Henry Wallace, pens that
| write under water and the BROOKLYN
! Dodgers. So does Bob Hope. SO
| does Red Skelton. So do number
| of other highly paid comics. Even
| Jimmy Fidler tried the other night
/ to pull q gag about a pen that
| writes under water, Though we un-
derstand he does not classify him
I self as comedian.
It Is with a mixture of sadness
! and pleasure then that we make
note today Of the return for the
season of Fred Allen last Sunday
| night. The sadness derives from
several more or less direct quotes
from the Allen script. to wit:
"City feller give me one of them
pens what writes under water"
"You en- talk-you amt Henry
Wallace"
"The tree that grows In Brooklyn
Is a weeping willow"
Well, there is not much there to
indicate that this was the head
, man among radios funny men COM
ing back to work, but it may be un-
, fair to bring it up. The fact is, to
get around belately to the above
mentioned pleasure, that this was,
after all, Fred Allen and it was good
to have him back.
X X X \
Consistency is not one Of Mr.. AL
lens jewels. He NUTS one occa-
sionally. But he can afford to. When
he is at his best, or even a shade
less than his best, he is far su-
perior to his competitors. You may
meet tired, old gag on Fred AL
len program some Sunday night, but
you are just as likely to meet the
finest comedy writing on the air
projected In the best Of comedy
styles. Even remaining within the
limits Of formal that may be wear
ing out, Allen manages to spark his
humor with originality and inspira-
ton. :.
Who else il all OF radio, for ex-
ample, would have come up with
the notion that H. v. Kaltenborn
would make fine comic If he had
Lowell Thomas for a straight man?
That is the intriguing notion Mr..
Allen had and it worked out won-
derfully last week. It worked out
so well, as q matter of fact, that
Allen almost became a sort Of guest
star on his own show. Mr.. Kalten-
born, letting down his back hair
and his commentator poise, was
getting the laughs, as you can easily
believe even II you didn't hear him
perform that old Abbott Costello
who's on First?" skit with Mr..
Thomas.

JUST THE SAME

The @.Capital seethed'', declares an
imaginative writer, while another reports
that Washington "shook from the blast"
of Secretary Ickes' resignation
The newspaper writer's and radio
commentators have enjoyed a field day
on the political sensation. When the adj
jectives run out, they resort to the active
verbs.
There is no use for anybody to be
misled by the reports. The Capital con-
tinues normal with most of the excitement
among the politicians and very little of it
visible anywhere else
In fact, the reaction in Washington
to political events is much the same as in
any other city. Only the jobholders and
the jobhunters are greatly concerned.

CHINESE COMPLAINT .


'@' wofGeneralissimo Chang, Kai-shek tells
the Chinese people that their country ais
free and independent" and at the same
time urges them to follow the example of
the western countries whose "citizens are
disciplined and responsible
AT the same time, newspaper cores
pondents report increasing criticism of the
Chungking Government and at least one
newspaper asserted that the Big Three de-
cided matters affecting China without con-
sulting the Chinese Government.
This is an inevitable commentary, now
that Japan has been defeated, and the
Chinese are no longer under the menace
Of the aggressive invaders. Nevertheless,
the Chinese newspapers should realize that
the present freedom. Of China is due to the
exertions of the countries represented by
the Big Three and that, after all, the Jap
anese invaders did not consult Chungking
about any of the affairs in China.

GETTING THE BREAKS"

We have heard oldtimers mourn many
time, key West doesn't get the breaks,
but some time some man will come to town,
and start the ball a-rolling, and then,
watch out!''
Key West is now getting the breaks,
and the getting centers in the dupont
interests in Florida, behind which is Ed
ward Ball as trustee. He was in Key West
last week, and yesterday The Citizen pub
llshed a story about one of the objects of
Mr.. Balls visit: improvements in La
Concha Building for the purpose of estab-
fishing gift shop, which in quality, if not
in size, will be comparable with any other
in the country.
1t may be said that opening a gift
shop is not much in itself. That is true, but
The Citizen feels confident that that pro-
posed improvement is only one of many
that the duPontS will make in Key West,
for it is said that Mr.. Ball likes the pend
ant to the chain of emerald keys"
Mr.. Ball knows Florida from it's
northwesterly tip in Pensacola to it's south
easterly tip in Key West, and he knows
too the possibilities in the state for worth
while enterprises. Another thing he knows
is that the climate in Key West in the
winter time is the most agreeable inath
United States, and that Key West is the
only city in the country that is free Of,
tfrost.Gs sa1 3dT Grow s121D >4H IL 293ivrg4
2ilio And one does not need to have Mr.
Balls familiarity with Florida's climate, to,
know that the chief object of a fairly large
percentage of tourists in Florida is to enjoy
pleasant weather beyond the frost belt
It is futile to conjecture about what
the duPonts will do further in Key West,
but we may feel confident that their in
terests here will be expanded.

is 1T REALLY TOO BAD?"

Describing ameeting- representa-
tives of corporations in the motor, steel,
electrical and packing-house industries,
held in New York last month, CsE. Wilson,
president of General Motors, says that no
agreements came out of the meeting and
that there was nothing sinister about it."

sembled group, representing various in
dustries, was Cooking down the same

cussed what hell of shape we were in"
Mr.. Wilson makes an interesting
statement in connection with his opinion
of-the group, saying that sit is too bad that
that group cannot make the decisions for
the country" Apparently, the General
Motors executive thinks that the group as
sefnbled could decide all matters better
than officials of the Government and with
out consultation with the representatives of
other economic groups. Not many people

Then it came back to her !. /.
Uncle Peter, the trivial, the cheer
full, the one person in this house she
had thought negligible.
She sat up. At first giddiness and
the pain in her head forced her
back on the pillow again, but the
second time she felt better. She put,
her feet on the floor and still faint
and dizzy, stood upright, holding
by the head of the bed. She must
find out where she was, what this
dark prison was.
Her cropping hand touched little
table, and great hope sprang up
in her. Moving nearer, she felt the
lamp; it was there; she turned the
switch and the light came. And
with sob of relief she found her
self in her own room.
Then she heard a. noise in the
corridor outside; a dragging, shut
fling sound. She leaned forward in
her chair. 1t was coming nearer.
Something scratched at her door.
And not near the knob, but close to
the floor, like an animal. She did
not stir.
Miss whispered Wren's voice.
"Oh, Miss! For Gods sake, let me
in!"
She went to the door, but with
her hand on the knob, she hesi-
tated.

His voice ceased abruptly. She
heard nothing at all now.
"Wren!" she called, rafting the
knob. Il can't! can't! -"
Her knees gave way and she
sank on the floor by the locked
door. Her hand touched something
wet, she raised it, stared at it with
dilated eyes. saw it red with blood,
and fell backward in a faint.

II hill; she did not stop until she
had reached the dark shelter of. the
trees. AS she paused here "a mo-,
ment, she heard someone coming
after her, running. She stopped be-
hind tree and waited.
It was too dark to see. but she was
certain that the figure which ran
past her was Miles. He went on
plunging down the hillside.
Suppose he meets Mr.. Fennel?"
she thought, in alarm. "And tells
him / can't Gomez"
Into her heart came the quiet
conviction that Fennel wouldn't
believe him, wouldn't believe any
one. He had come to speak to her;
he had said he would wait for an
hour and then come to the house,
and he would do that. She trusted
Fennel as she had never yet in her
life trusted anyone.
She began cautiously to descend
the hill, straining her ears to catch
any sound. At last she was in sight
of the clearing and the faint star
light showed it empty. But any
one could be standing in the shad-
oWS -.
She waited and waited. If FenneI
had pretended to go away, he
would come back. Was Miles here,
waiting for that?

No one came, no one answered
''Mr. Fennel!" she called, again
her voice rising to high note Of

This would not do, panic lay this
way. With an effort, she stopped
calling, and stood there, waiting.

THE $so-A-wEEK MINIMUM

= The, Senate Labor Committee has APP
proved ,tlieeblllto raise the minimum wage,
from foreysto sixtyufiNe cents anihour and
to extend the minimum wage act to many
businesses not now covered. The bill also
provides that the minimum wage becomes
seventy cents after two years and seventy
five cents after four years.
Some Senators estimate that the high
er minimum wage will mean increases in
pay to from four million to six million
workers. The law would change the mini
mum, on a forty-hour week, from sixteen
dollars to twenty-six with increases to
twenty-eight dollars in two years and
thirty dollars week in four years.
We are thoroughly in accord with
the idea of increasing ,sthed income of
workers but some questions arise'Ias to
what the effect of the, present bill will be.
It Is all right toI9dfhiS IebA main lI n
wage from sixteen to thirty sdeIIars within
a four.year period if, an some manner,
similar increases i'll wages can be provided

laborer, provided he is employed in a bust.
ness covered by the act. Unless there is
corresponding increase in the compensa-
ton. given to trained and intelligent work
ers, some of whom now get no more than
that-weekly wage, there may occur de-
cided shift among the workers of the
nation.
Moreover, many employers will find
it advantageous to discharge the very class
which the bill seeks to assist and to replace
them with higher type of individual, even
at small increase over the minimum
wage.
