VillsOn FayOrs
Loan To Britai,,
VIEWS LOAN IN LIGHT OF
COMMERCIAL STA
BILIZER
eBy Associated PRESS,

WASHINGTON, March 5. =
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson
today testified before the senate
banking committee in favor of the
United States granting loan IF
$3.50, 100000 to Great Britain.
He said he viewed the, loan in
the light of a commercial stabillzr
er. If Great Britain is not, given
the money, he reasoned, two
trade blocs will be organized, one
by the United States and the ot4T
er by Great Britain, that will
wage ruthless economic war for
world trade, and that though this
country will win in the long run,
the outcome will be Pyrrhic VIC
tory.
Conversely, he added, if the
loan is granted, Great Britain will
open up its market to trade with
the United States, as a result OF
which both tlc United States and
Great Britain will have greater
incomes to assue prosperity.
Vinson pointed out that the
loan is not a gift. He said it will
be repaid, and that, during the
process of repayment, Great Bril-
ain also will pay interest on tnt
loan.

ING QUIT CLAIM ON coUN-
TRY CLUBHOUSE BUILDING
TO CITY

Form letters have been sent out
by c. L. Gardner, president Of
Key West Country Club ano
Charles E. Roberts, secretary
ealing for a meeting of the Club
tonight at 8 o'clock at the Com
munity Health Unit, 2O3 Flem-
ing street, for the purpose OF
discussing continuance or non
continuance of the Clubhouse
building under the Club. There
are approximately 40 members
in the group.
MIR. Gardner states in the let
ter: .sf A.
"As you perhaps know there
is an Indebtedness due the City
of Key West, which came into
being through two 100000 loans
made by the City in the years
1924 and 1926 respectively, and
were secured by mortgage
against the Country Club build
ing and fixtures. To date ap-
proximately $6,00O.O0 represents
the accrued interest on the above
notes. The city has instructed
it's attorneys to start foreclosure
proceedings if the Country Club
does not meet this obligation in
the immediate future. The main
purpose of the meeting is to de-
eide whether the Country Club
can pay this Indebtedness of APP
proximately 100000 or wheth-
er a quit claim deed should be
exc cited returning the building
ana fixtures to the City.
There has been considerable
discussion relative to the repair
and use of the Country Club
building by several civic organ
izatiens within the City, If the
Country Club executes a quit
claim deed, it is anticipated that
the building will be leased by the
City to one of these organiza-
tions for their use. II IS requested
that you come prepared to in
5truct your officers and, directors
as to what action they should
take IN your best interests" 9ii

thing of a tropical paradise. To
that end, thousands Of coconut

and there will be much work
there for the landscape gardner"
The tract, the sale of which
was published in The Citizen
several months ago, is being con-
verified into a subdivision. Mr.
Roberts said he was told that the
cheapest lot there will cost $4,000,
and that a provision in the deeds
will stipulate that no house, cost
ing less than $500, can be con-
structed on a lot. He added that
w. A. Paris, chairman of the
county commission, who sold the
upper and the lower halves of
Lower Matecumbe for Miami
clients, informed him that many
lots had been bargained for but
that no deeds will be granted
until the improvements have
been made.

Guided, land the work of beauti-

Former President Herbert
Hoover is expected to arrive to-
day at Boca Chica Field at 3:47
o'clock in a naval plane from
Washington, d. c. where he has
just been appointed honorary
chairman of the Famine Emer-
gency Committee which has been
selected to aid Europe's starving
millions.
Mr.. Hoover was fishing in Key
West waters aboard the yacht
Nicoya which is berthed at Craig
Dock when President Truman
requested him to come to Wash
ington for consultation on the
food problem in Europe. Follow
ing the last war Mr.. Hoover was
in charge of delivering food to
Europe.

Mr.. Hoover has been fishing
along the Florida Keys for about
two weeks and has been in Key
West waters for a few days be-
fore leaving for Washington last
weekend.
Mr.. Hoover is principally in
terested in bonefishing and has
caught one which will be one of

An ardent fisherman for many
years catching trout in fresh
water streams Mr.. Hoover re-
GENTLY expressed desire to catrh
bonefish. Bonefish are caught
over flats on rising tide and
usually on nine thread line with
light tackle. Because of the foot
or so of water over the flats the
bonefish puts up quito n spec

Asphalt Base Reached In
We'll At Barnes Sound But
No Oil Discovered Yet
DEPTH OF. TEN THOU.
SAND FEET REACHED
WITH OPERATIONS
STILL GOING ON

j. Frank Roberts. chief clerk in
the county tax assessors office
said today that he was present al
the well that is being drilled in
Barnes Sound when a test was
conducted to determine whether
or not oil had been reached, and
added that he heard the next day
that the test was negative, de-
spite the fact that an asphalt
base has been reached.
MIR. Roberts said it was ex-
plaihed to him that asphalt is the
residue of oil, but that its find
ing may or may not indicate the
presence of pool of oil.
If the asphalt is of many mil
lions of years duration, then the
chances are that the oil, that once
had formed a pool where the as
phalt is found, has dried up, and
that was the indication at the
Barnes Sound well, for the as
phalt did not smell of gas.
Sections of pipe, each 80 feet
long, Mr.. Roberts said, were used
in determining whether or not oil
was present in the well. He added
that engineers at the well ex-'
planned TO him how the test was
made, but their language was so
highly technical he was unable
10 follow intelligently what they
had said. OF one thing, however
he said he was sure, and that is.
that the engineers and officials
Of the company, who were pres

Local Man Returns From Tidal Wave Area

An eyewitness description of the Aleutian area visited by the seismic wave of April 1 was brought here this week by Frank Beals. local Aleutian Wildllfe Refuge agent.
 MT. Beals was at King Cove on the Hateful morning, and was awakened at about 3 am by the earthquakes. Others reported lighter shocks beginning around 2;3O.
 In the harbor tbere was PAF cannery tender at the small dock and the skipper was awake and up when he thought he felt his boat grounding Going to the bow of the boat, he discovered it was on dry beach. He then rushed to the stern to see how it was but by the time he got there the stern was above the dock the water had risen that swiftly. The surges of water continued all that morning and into the afternoon with diminishing in. tensity. at about l5-minute in- terYals.
 The next 2 days MT. Beals visited other spots where the wave had struck. The Pankof gas light beacon, which charts show as 82 feet above the water, was completely washed out.
 At Ikatan, a village on Uni. mak island, he sav where a home belonging tod ,hn Gardner, Jr., had been washed to sea. The house was new one, and MT. Gardner, his wife, and 3 small children, were visiting at neigh

 The wave did not approach from the bay side of the village, but from the rear, across a level of land separating it from Otter Cove Banjo Bay). The wave swept into Banjo Bay, cut across country in a half-mile swath, and Gardner's house was directly in it path. The house was carried to sea 15 miles and deposited on the beach of another island A cannery boat got it the next day and lowed it to False Pass, where MT.

A small dock and carpenter shop were also destroyed
 A number of small fox islands around Sanak island were wash. ed clear by the wave, every building, house or shed being completely wiped out. It was suspected all fox were gone too, but check had not been made when MT. Beals left there.
 The Coast Guard boat Cedar was at Sanak harbor after visit ing Scotch Cap. and men aboard said the only thing left there of the lighthouse, where 5 lost their lives, was the concrete founda- tion.
 Beals said he did not stop at Uuga, because of the diphtheria epidemic.
 Listening to the radio during the occurrence, he said they heard the report that a tidal wave was 10 minutes out of Ko- diak.
