session of the legislature little
more than four months away.
The issues already are starting
to form: constitutional revision,
the white primary, school and
health financing, tax system ad-
justments, cattle fencing, water
control, state return of cigarette
taxes to the cities, co-educatlon
at the colleges and dozen others

There is the undercurrent of a
clash between Governor Cald-
we'll and an almost hostile state
senate, emphasized by the Gov

Edwin c.. Fraser's election to
the state comptroller's seat. That
particular fight may be settled
by the supreme court before the
legislature convenes, but the bit
terness is sure to linger and
haunt the administration pro-
gram at every turn, whoever
wins.
In the meantime, the routine
work of preparing for the legis-

The Key West Junior Cham
Der of Commerce last night di-
rected its committee on Govern
mental Affairs to investigate the
feasibility of installing radio
equipment in the city's police
cars as planned by the City Man

Discussing city finances and
expenses at their regular meeting
in the Monroe County Clinic Au-
ditorium, the Jaycees brought
out that the reported increase in
city operating expenses this
year may exceed last years by
more than $4,000. The Govern
ment group was also directed to
investigate this matter
Following a discussion on the
repeatedly poor conditions of
the fire alarm system the same
committee was ordered to inves-
tigate the efficiency of the
alarm boxes, many of which, it
was reported, are not in operat-
| ing order. =
The Junior Chamber also en-
dorsed a resolution strongly rec
ommending that the Civil Aero
nautics Board give Aerovias 60"
S. A, the right to operate a regu-
lar scheduled airline between
Key West and Havana. The reso-
luton pointed out the necessity
of such a line being established
and read similarly to the one
made by the City Commission
ers at their last meeting. Copies
of the resolution were ordered
sent TO representatives in Con-
gress for their information :. !
