They thought it was some sort of trap Roy Rogers was laying for them. I've got an- other Indian coming in with { blanket and a basketful of damp leaves and I'm fixing up an of- flee in my fireplace so he can send smoke signals. think the Indians will work out okay. How ever, the first time I gave one a message I almost lost a finger try ing to slip a nickel between his teeth.
 When I first heard about the telephone strike, I wanted to know what was cooking, so de- cided to go right to the top. But Don Ameche said he couldn't do anything about it. He's very busy now working on a new invention, something called the steamboat.
 I certainly hope nothing hap pens to the phones permanently. After all, I we got lot of money invested in slugs. But I think the teleI Ihone operators are really sore. Yesterday T. started to make a call and the dial refused to let go of my finger. And when I called information and said, Can you tell me the number of Slapsy Maxie's reStaurant?" 4 voice answered and said, Not oI this salary.
 But I'd better stop now. I've got an appointment in Beverly Hills with a vulture. He's an agent for a carrNr pigeon and we're going to discuss terme.

FISH MARKETS
- elizabeth and Greene)

Here is one of the most pic
turesque sights in Key West.
Gathered in groups around the
docks are some of the "old tim
ers" of Key West who have fol-
lowed the sea all their lives. Dur
ing the afternoon they bring their
fishing boats in with fish caught
that day and either sell the fish
Immediately or put them into fish
cars. When a Key West lady
points to the kind of fish she
wants-one of the many delicious
fish found in these waters, all
colorfully swimming about in the
cars-the fisherman dips a net
in, hauls out the fish and in q
few moments has killed, sprepared
and wrapped the fish for : the
customer. Around the harbor
may be noted the Westren Union,
thee cable ship which Sfepahs cal
bles between here and C ha, /. On
the shore may be seen picturesque
wrecks of boats of old days. Gulls
and Man-o'- War or ftigate birds

U. n. Council 5 Power
By the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. g.
The United States was reported to-
day to be ready to line up with
Soviet Russia in opposition to a
small power campaign which would
relegate the Security Council to a
secondary position on deciding the
admission of new members to the
United Nations.
The American position became
known as the General Assembly S
powerful Political Committee was
called into session, to start debate
on a group of resolutions growing
out of the Security Councils re-
lection of membership applications
from Albania, Outer Mongolia, Ire
land, Portugal and Trans-Jordan.
Informed quarters said the United
States delegation definitely would
oppose an Australian proposal de-
claring that ''the General Assembly
has primary and final responsible
ity" in the admission of new mem
bers.
The Australian resolution also
proposed that the Security Councils
role should be restricted to decid-
ing whether "the applicant state is
able and willing to carry out its OBJ
legations under those sections of the
Charter which come within the COM
petence of the Security Council"
