M'Arthur Orders
In Japan Scored
tny Assoeinted Pressl

TOKYO, May ia member
of the counsel for the Jap war
criminals told the court today
that the japanese people were
not obliged to abide by all the
orders that were issued by Gem
eral Macarthur, as supreme COM
mander in Japan.
Asked on what he based MS
conclusion, he answered that the
Potsdam ultimatum said nothing
about the surrender of the Jap
anese people but only the Jap
anese in the armed services.
The prosecution declared that
such hair-splitting was ridicu-
lous, and maintained that the
unconditional surrender of jap
an applied to all its people,
whether in or out of the armed
services.
Japanese apparently are fast
disregarding their custom of EN-
peror worship. Today, for the
first time in the history of Jap
an, 100 demonstrators Stormed
the palace grounds and demand
ed to have audience with palace
officials. When the audience was
granted, the demonstrators de-
manded that the emperor release
some of his boarded foodstuffs to
help feed Japan's starving mil
lions.

Miners In Pennsylvania Defy Lewis
AS 100000 Others Go Back 10 Pits
Boca Chica Base
May Be Revived,
Propelican Says

An editorial in the Propelican,
air base paper, states that Boca
Chica may well be revived in
spite of the present gloomy pic
ture and is reprinted as follows:
with everybody being trans
ferred, the general idea floating
around is that Boca Chica will
soon be a ghost base. This is an
erroneous conclusion. It may be
reduced to a "caretaker" status
later, but from all indications,
the field and location are much
too valuable to be closed COM
pletely; there is a chance that it
may be built up again into a
fully active base.
Not outlsndish"
Such possibility is not too
outlandish when one considers
the merits of Key West as a site
for air activity. Points to con-
slider are its low terrain which
presents no hinderance to radio
the absence of commercial air
line traffic, and its strategic loca-
ton commanding the Florida
channel and approaches to the
Gulf of Mexico, Observation by
the weather department and the
CAA show the field has good
flying weather SO percent of the
time, an average temperature OF
1853 degrees Fahrenheit, and
many other climatic advantages.
Also to be considered are the re-
Gently built housing for person
nell accommodation and the COM
plete facilities for raining Pur-
poses.
No, Key West isn't the best
place in the werld to pitch lib
erty but it's an ideal spot for
flying and can't be over looked
in considering locations for per-
mafaent bases in this area. The
future of Key West can well be
measured by it's merit as a site
for military air activities, the
editorial asserts.

Parking Meter
Queries Cause
Official Laugh

City Manager Dave King re-
ceived a humorous letter today
from the chief of police of Holly
wood, which is contemplating
putting in parking meters.
The first question wanted to
know about the maintenance diff
ficulties. If King answered that
one correctly he would say that
35 or 40 meters smashed.
Ten more meters were broken
into over the past weekend and
an entire standard and meter up
rooted on Southland street on
Saturday night. So the answer to
that question wouldn't be so en-
tightening, Mr.. King said.
what was the reaction of the
public?" was the next question.
One injunction from a property
owner and many phone calls
have resulted, King recalled.
On another question, what is
your personal opinion of their
WORTH" Mr.. King said that their
worth was to regulate traffic and
to provide greater safety but to-
day he is receiving calls from
residents along Southland and
Fleming, east of Simonton street
who are complaining of many
cars parking. on those streets on
Saturday nights instead of using
the meters.
Mr.. King is trying to frame a
reply to Hollywood that will not
be too discouraging.

from the rear of the houses or
to pick up trash.
Willard Gibson, sanitary inspec-

Assessed Value
oil Real Estates
At Record Higl,

County Tax Assessor Claude
A. Gandolfo estimated today that
the assessed valuation of Monroe
county this year will be in ex-
cess of $18,900,000, the highest
! in the history of the county.
In 1910, he said, the assessed
valuation was only $2,500,000.
That was the last year under the
old plan, whereby assessments
were placed on only part of the
value of realty. The following
year the ad valorem plan, on a
100 percent basis, went into
effect, and the assessment in
Monroe rose to $14,2l4,764. Last
year the assessment totaled $17,-
317,931.
Increase for this year, Mr..
Gandolfo explained, was due to
revamping of valuations and new
construction, particularly in Key
West.
u. S. Buys Realty
He said further that the adj
vances in valuation have oc-
CURED despite the fact that, from
the time the United States en-
tered the war till hostilities ceaS-
ed, the federal government ac-
quired more than $1,000,000 of
realty in Monroe county, and
thus took it off the tax books,
The city of Key West is basing
its assessments this year on the
100 percent plan. 1t had been
suggested since 1941, when the
county began its 100 percent as
sessments, that the city do like
wise, but the old plan was fol-
lowed and the millage was rails
ed to meet the reduced assess
ment.
But the new charter prohibits
| levying more than 20 mills, as a
result of which the assessments
must be raised to full value in
order to collect sufficient taxes
for the city to function.
