! The Citizen, likes to- re-

AZ The Good Lord has new
@ given us a more pleasing
day than this"
That brings to mind the
pleasant weather that has
prevailed in Key West since
President Truman arrived
last Sunday. Neither he nor
anybody else could wish for
more genial temperature
--4nOt too warm, not too
chilly.
Ever since he has been
here the mercury has risen
and fallen only a few de-
grees. AS. a result of the al
most. Interchangeable tempera-
tn'e, a good many jokes
have made the rounds of
the town about the weather.
One of them is:
Don't tip off the Presi-
dent that we ordered this
weather for him from Sears,
ROebuck."
OF course, we are aware
that the present climatic
conditions are normal for
Key West, the only frost
free city in the United
States. Since the Weather
Bureau was established in
Key West in 1871, no frost
has occurred in this city.
Winter, as applied in Key
West is a term, not a condi-
ton. We have an occasional
, nOrther, during which the
temperature may drop to
the COS or SOS. AS a rule,
those temperatures last two
or three days, and the tenn
perature climbs to the 70's
again.
And, while the President
is enjoying this really
balmy weather, it should be
remembered also that, as
he is on a ship four miles
long and a mile wide, and
anchored Ill miles out in
the sea, ozone is waited
shoreward, regardless of
what pat of the ship he
on.
Pleasant weather and a
good place to rest - that's
what, Key West is to the
President or anybody else,

JAP LIVING DEAD"

soldiers who have returned home
from American prison camps are
now complaining that, far from the
scorn they expected of their coun-

being almost totally ignored.
These men are the Giving dead'
who were listed during the war by
the Imperial army as having died
glorlously for the Emperor. Hav-

they had thought it was impossible
for them to come home and face
the anticipated hatred of their
people.
Many skunk home under cover of
darkness, and only days later did
they dare to emerge and face their
friends and neighbors.
Then, according to a new Japa-

just released, they discovered that
they were not even objects of
curiosity. Most of them told the
pollers that the public was treating

Assembly Faces Task OF
Choosing New Head As
Nation Faces Crisis

PARIS, Jan. 90 WH - General
Charles DeGaulle resigned sudden
and his secretary said that he
would retire forever from political
life.
Both DeGaulle's resignation and
his decision to retire were made
public by his cabinet director and
secretary, Castor Palewski, who
carried a letter of resignation to
Assembly President Felix Gouin.
Gen. DeGaulle isn't merely re-
signing," said Palewski. "He is
leaving his post-irrevocably. Fur
thermore, the General is retiring
for good from political life.''
DeGaulle's resignation, which
threw Frances fourth republic into
its gravest crisis, followed three
months of disputes with the Com
munist and Socialist parties. They
had demanded major reductions
in the French armed forces and
constitution which would drastical-
ly restrict the powers of De-
Gaulle's post.
DeGaulle is expected to leave
Paris to avoid political maneuver-
ing Immediately after making a
scheduled broadcast at 8 P. M. 6
P.~-~M.-AEST.) tomorrow. It was
understood that he would retire to
a house in small village in the
Marne department which he bought
and refurnished some months ago.
DeGaulle's letter of resignation
is expected to be read to the Ma
tional Assembly on Tuesday, and
it was stated authoritatively that it
would be accepted. The Assembly
then would have the problem of
attempting to select a new presi
dent.

erations, were among those pre-
sent. Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughn,
military aide to the President, rep
resented Mr.. Truman.
Col. Harry H. Semmes of Wash
ington, who served under Patton
in the two wars, spoke in tribute
to the dead leader. Hymns and the
reading of scripture and announce
ment of the posts change of name
were part of the impressive SER
vice which closed with the nation
al anthem and the blowing Of taps.
A guard OF honor was present IN
full uniform.
Semmes, in eulogizing Patton
who had been a member of the
Legion post which now bears his
name, said, "your old comrades-in
arms and friends, both living and
dead, salute you. A thousand years
of unborn Americans will look
down on what you have done and
find it good.''
He sketched briefly the high
lights of Patton's career, recalling
first the picture of ''our friend, the
soldier" riding tank into battle

1901 A. M. Deadline

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20-lR- A
Gripping strike closed down vir-
tually the entire steel industry to-
night.
The CLIO steelWorkers needed
their unions call for the mass walk
out from coast to coast to back
up wage increase demands. The
union said the idle. would total $780,
900.
The strike beginning one minute
after midnight was a grim new
round in the postwar money battle
between business and labor. 1t
forced the closing of fabricated
works, ore mines and aluminium
plants as well as steel producing
works.
Pickets took their places out
side the struck plants. Some picket
ing had started hours before the
deadline, which came when the
clocks in each community read
