COMMITTEE BEING FORMED:
BAYVIEW PARK CONSIDER

City Manager King has beer
interviewed by Pedro Aguila1
and L. P. Artman, Jr., as to the
feasibility of placing memorial
to those war dead of Key West
who gave their lives in the past
conflict at Bayview Park.
Several persons have offered
their services as chairman of the
committee and a meeting will
shortly be held to select a COM
mittee. Mr.. Aguilar has agreed
to be in charge of making the
collections and Mr.. Artman, ST..
will act as treasurer.
Opinion seems to be that the
memorial should tc'be) fotrrallT1of
Key, Vests war dead and not
just for those athletes of the
city who gave their lives. Ma
jority of persons feel that Bay
view Park is the logical place for
the monument. The exact loca-
ton and construction of the mon
umcnt will be further discussed
and finally presented to the City

BAIT Would Eliminate
DoIIar-a-Yedr Men,
Train Executives
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June II. William
L. Bait, wartime vice chairman of
the War Production Board, last
night proposed elimination of dol
lar-a-year" Government jobs and
offered plan he said could provide
a reservoir of experienced business
executives for key Federal positions.
The basis of Mr.. Bats plan was
proposal that corporations ad-
vance by five or ten years the re-
tlrement age for executives who
have qualities that particularly
adapt them for public service"
Such men could then afford
with the addition of the salary from
the Government to their retirement
pay, to give the rest of their active
lives to public service" he said.
Mr.. Bait, president of ski Indus
tries, Inc, Philadelphia, advanced
his proposal at general conference
here of the American Management
Association, of which he is retiring
board chairman.
Reporting that most men in bust
ness with little or no private income
find it difficult. if not impossible, to
give up their business salaries for
the lower incomes offered by Gov
ernment," MI. Bait told the con-
ference:
1T is to the vital interest of the
country that means shall quickly be
found to encourage more experienced
businessmen to place their unique
experience in the public service"
R. c. Muir. vice president of Cen
eral Electric Co. reported the results
of that company's training of key
supervisory personnel in better
business management classes were
so favorable that the company ex-
tended the program TO foremen, en-
gineers and statesmen.
He said earlier GE training pro-
grams tended to emphasize special
