House Committee Asks End

BY the Assecioted Press

The House Postwar Economic Pol

that in the future the Government
should scrap most of its controls on
farm production and prices, except
during severe. depressions.
The group, headed by Representa-
tive Colmer, Democrat, of Missis-

designed to achieve a prosperous
and progressive agriculture" in its
10th report to the House yesterday
1t explained that it sought a blue
print sufficiently adjustable to
maintain the family farm and
make use of modern technology"
This will benefit the Nation as a
whole through abundant production
and more stable purchasing power
in this important segment of the
economy" the committee said. "Ex-

u. ). Return Of Gold
To Hungary Seen as
Challenge 10 Soviet
BY tho Assoeioied Press

BUDAPEST, Aug. THE return
by the United States of Hungary's
entire $35, 900 900 gold reserve, which
had been captured by the Nazis, was
construed today by diplomatic OBJ
servers as an American bid to keep
a window open to the west" in Rus
SIAN n-occupied Hungary.
Adolf Hitler'S former private train
arrived here yesterday under heavy
guard from Frankfurt with % tons
OF gold bullion and coins, in COM
pliance with an agreement reached
last June in Washington between
the State Department and a Hun
garian economic mission.
Although the immediate effect of
the COLDS presence in Budapest
vaults will be to bolster Hungary's
efforts to halt rampant imitation,
diplomatic circles further inter-
preted the move as an American
challenge to Soviet Russia to CO.
operate in rehSpilitating the former
Axis satellite.
Russia recently rejected as COM
pleteiy groundless" an American
complaint that Hungary's economy
was being ruined by Soviet occupa-
ton policies.
The shipment of gold marked the
first wholesale return of currency
assets to an enemy country.
I'VE are very grateful to the
American Government that it hand
ed our gold back to U.S." said DR..
Nicolas Nyardi, undersecretary of
state in the Hungarian Ministry Of
Finance. "It is the first step toward
Hungary's reconstruction.
"The Hungarian people will now
have faith that our new currency
will have real value because it
will be covered by gold sufficient
for an issue of 100000 FORMS"
he added.
The gold-backed forms, based on
an exchange OF II to the American
dollar, were issued coincidentally
with the arrival of the gold reserve
and replaced the pengo, which
collapsed at the quadrilhon note
level after fantastic imitation,

that Office, Mr.. Lanham took charge
of the city tree nursery at the old
Civil War fort on Alabama avenue
Sc. In developing the nursery, he
also refurbished and occupied an
abandoned home on the grounds.
Later, when Congress directed that
persons occupying District-owned
homes should pay a nominal rental,
Mr.. Lanham was charged $l80 a
year. This low rent was considered
suffcient because in occupying the
house he protected the nursery.
In shis request to be allowed to
stay on, Mr.. Lanham, who retired
July 81, promised to continue to
protect the property, which if
vacant would be exposed to depre-
dation and vandalism"

treasury to retain an experienced
man to serve the community eff

Finally there are the ultimate
qualifications. AS far as l know
Mr.. Spottswood has no qualifica-
lions whatsoever to handle the
Chamber of Commerce as a Sec
rotary should. Mr.. Laubscher has
had strong hand in the Cham
Der. He has handled tourist trade
in the hotel business for many
years. He is also much older than
Mr. Spottswood and certainly
will give much more mature
judgement to his answers to the
general public.
Then as to the fund of infor-
nation which Mr.. Spottswood
must amass in order to run the
Chamber properly. There will be
a host of writers and photog-
raphers who will come through
the Chamber as they do through
The Key West Citizen seeking
materials and reference mater
ial. Is Mr.. Spottswood prepared
to supply this necessary Chamber
of Commerce material?
Thus to summarize the choice:
bs3L auhScher Qualifications
Mr.19Laubscher has held the
Chamber of Commerce office ber
fore, has boosted membership tire
mendously once before has done
all the leg work required to keep
the chamber going. l understand
that he had many projects
going. He is a live wire. He is
mature. He is ASSOCIATED
WITH NO BUSINESS IN TOWN
which could make his chamber
smack. of commercialism. He will
devote full time to his job and
not make of the chamber a part
time job while he devotes his
time to his own business also.
His salary can easily be raised
by himself in getting new mem
berships. Finally. he has DONE
1T BEFORE AND HE CAN DO
1T AGAIN. There is no big ques-
ton mark as to ability.
If the Radio Station becomes
affiliated with the Chamber OF
Commerce then you throw the
controls of one business upon the
Chamber of Commerce. To pay
the salary of one of the girls en-
ployed at the Radio Station by
taking her salary out of the
business mems membership is
pushing things quite a bit. To
allow a teletype to be placed in
the Chamber Of Commerce,
machine which will also service
the Radio Station is pushing
things out to the breaking point.

Observation-Disclosures eG6fStream
Liquor Application To County
States May Submit 1t AT
Later Date: Ministerial
Association Promises To
Fight It Again

In surprise move Judge Ray
mond Lord withdrew his apph-
cation for a liquor license from
the Monroe County Board OF
Commissioners at meeting last
night.
Rev, c. r. Howes asked if the
application would have to be
submitted again and go through
two readings before it became
law and was assured so.
The minister then stated that
the ministerial alliance had no
axe to grind in this matter and
that they had no candidate for
office in the county, although
they would not say regarding
the city. Rev. Howes also said
that the Ministerial Association
wishes to see Key West cleaned
up and that it was not a fit place
to rear children now as it is.
Regarding condolences and
evidently referring to Rev.
Doherty's not revealing the
sources of his information when
he charged the passing of $4,000
in an inflamed speech before city
commission last week Rev
Howes said that it was a solemn
pledge of ministers not to break
faith with those who give them
condolences.
Judge Lord said that in with
drawing the application he would
not say that he will not submit
it again at a later date He also
stated that he thought Key West
was no worse place to raise child
rem than. many other cities of
this country He also said that if
the city is to be a tourist center
then it must furnish tourists with
what they wish and one of these
things is the power to consume
liquor in large restaurants. Key
West has few industries and must
depend on the tourist trade,
Judge Lord said Judge Lord
mentioned a pamphlet circulated
here. in which statements were
made about him which he
thought demanded a public apol-
ogy. Il haven't collected one red
cent from the Gulf Stream Res
taurant. Yet there has been men
ton of a contact man which
many associate with me- ! think
I deserve an apology, Judge
Lord said.
