here, so the horse mob gives it
no consideration whatever. Which
is OK by the local citizens and
their guests. There is gambling,
all right, with slot machines, rou
lette, chemin de fer, dice tables
and bolita. But it is small-Scaie
gambling. You don't see patrons
openly counting folds of one thou
sand dollar bills in the Key West
hotel Hobbies.
The dark-eyed Key West SEN
oritas who talk and sing are high
ly decorative. Many a Navy man
who did not particularly like this
place when assigned here during
the war, discovered on his return
north that he and his family
flourished in the salubrious elm
ate here. A great percentage of
them are trickling back as cl-
villains. We certainly enjoyed or
trip. We caught no sailfish, but
we boated plenty of snapper, mac
kerel and barracuda.
The tropical water is beautiful
milky green in spots, changing to
a deep purple and a rich en-,
erald. The air is balmy and the
sun shines down millions of miles
through air that is crystal Gle II
and free of dust particles, SCOT or
any other impurity. You can
catch lots of fish and get a ri,h
tan in hurry at Key West. Add
to this a chilled Presidente cock
tail after a day at sea and what
more could man ask? We had
a real sportsman's dinner of avo-
cado pear filled with crab meat
and served on cracked ice in tiny
wooden bowls, large chunks OF
cold luscious white bonefish with
absolutely no bones, served with
light green lime sauce. A plat
ter of delicious giant key tom4-
toes and dessert of fresh cocoandt
cake with fresh cocoanut ice
cream. Are we boring you, BROTH
er?

CONSUMPTION:
Prospects Brighten

Because of the precariouS inter-
national situation aggravated by
Russian moves in the east, congress
sional support grew for extension Of
the ~selective service act beyond
May Is.
With war department officials
calling for maintenance of military
strength in the face of unsettled
world conditions, it was revealed
that plans called for an army of
1880, 900 officers and men by July,
1916, and 1,000,0 900 by July, 1947.
Pending determination of the aims,
policies and programs of other ma
tons, and the efficiency of the UNO
in resolving disputes, no decision
can be made about the permanent
size of the armed forces, it was
said.
General Eisenhower declared that
one of the principal arguments for
the retention of Selective service
was that it acts as a spur for volun-
tary enlistments. With volunteers
permitted to specify what branch
of service they prefer, many young
men act to pick their spots before
being drafted and made subject to
compulsory placement. In five
months, 600, OF volunteers enlist
ed, with 67.07 per cent being World
War II vets, 1877 per cent recruits
and 1923 per cent pre-Pearl Harbor
enrollees.

War Gadgets Are Sealed
For Possible Future Use

PITTSBURGH.-The instruments
of war, temporarily in disuse, are
not going to be beaten into plough
shares.
Rather, they will be scientifically
sealed in specially built containers
and treated by a new process that
will prevent corrosion, decay or de-
terioration.
At bravo corporations Neville Is
land plant nea Pittsburgh, general
ing units, height finders and direc-
tors are being stored in the all-steel,
hermetically-sealed containers.
AS soon as the container is filled,
the vessel is welded, the air is
pumped out, and nitrogen gas is
forced in.
Nitrogen, an almost inert gas,
won't react with any of the mate
rails in the apparatus.
Silica gel, a chemical d~ehydrator,
also is put into the container, to
absorb any trace of moisture that
might still be clinging to the con-
tainer.
After that processing, tempera-
ture changes will not harm the con-
tents of the containers.

Air Age Here, Figures of
Aeronautics Board Show

WASHINGTON. - The air age is
here.
This vas revealed recently with
announcement by the civil aeronau-
tics board that some $4,000 addi-
tional pilots have been granted CIV
ilian flying permits during the last
year.
The board announced at the same
time that the number of licensed
civilian planes has increased during
the year from 81, 1893 to 36,583.
Approximately 1872 1000 civilians
now are registered pilots, the board
said, compared with 1872, 1882 on
January l, 1945. In 1899 only 1924
pilots had certificates.

POLITICS:
Bad Mixture

Though stubbornly fighting to the
last, Big Ed Pauley finally conceded
that oil and politics don't mix, ask
ing for withdrawal of his nominal
ton as undersecretary of the navy
despite President Truman's deter
mined support in the face of strong
congressional opposition.
A millionaire California Gilman
and former treasurer of the Demo-
cratic party, Pauley faced rough 60
ing from the start, with astute politi-
cal observers terming the nomina-
ton of any petroleum operator for
a navy job a blunder in view of
past scandals over navy oil.

Ten Y Old Gunman
Robs Restaurant Cashier

NEW YORK.-A 1O-year-old boy
small for his age, was held by po-
lice as a juvenile delinquent after
attempting to rob a hotel dining
room, wild west style, with two toy
pistols.
Blond and dirty-faced, he stalked
into the l6-story hotel with a toy
pistol in either hand. When he ap-
preached the desk of Miss Rennie
Diamond, who had been cashier in
the dining DON only a week, he
slammed m pistol on the desk and
shouted: This is a stick-up."
The cashier jumped back in as
constituent and as she did so the
boy grabbed S22 out of the cash
drawer and stuck it in his pockets.
Just then a waitress, Miss Mona
Smith, came over TO the desk, pat
ted the boy on the head and asked
the cashier: This your little boy,
ma'am?"
Cut that Quit" cried the boy, fu-
riously. This is a stick-up."
He jammed a pistol into Miss
Smiths side. She shook him by
the shoulders until both pistols
dropped to the floor, one breaking
into four pieces.
When police came they recovered
the SO and sem the boy to the city
youth center as a delinquent.

Army's old Gray Mare
Turned Out to Pasture

SAN FRANCISCO. Belle, the
plump "old gray mare" who lured
more than 1000 mules from box
cars to corrals during the war, was
turned out to pasture recently with a
"well done" from port of embar-
kation officials.
Col. George j. Rife, chief of the
port animal depot, said Belle gave
her bit for victory, but added that
he wasn't quite sure whether it was
Belle, herself, or the bell he hung
on Belle that really turned the trick.

Whatever hopes Pauley nourished
for confirmation were rudely
shaken with former Interior Secre-
tary Ickes' testimony that he had
told him that $500, 900 could be raised
from oil men for the 1914 Demo-
cratic campaign if the government
would withdraw its suit for title over
underwater petroleum deposits in
California.
In asking the President to with
draw his nomination, which was
done, Pauley declared that he had
been cleared of all charges against
him. Commencing him for retiring
from the fight, Democratic men,
bers of the senate naval affairs COM
mittee upheld his personal integ-
rity.
