LIAISON WORK

l have been inquirlrg around as
to the eventual possit ility of hai-
son committees from various or
CARNATIONS meeting with the
Chamber of Commerce at Board
OF Directors meetings and thus
giving the Chamber a more repre-
sentative vote of all the business
men and buSineSSWomen of the
city. I also inquired as to pos
sible consultations but the men,
bers of the business associations
do not seem to favor this plan.
They seem to think that they
have good going organizations and
that they can do a lot for the
city independently. One of the
big kicks against the Chamber is
that it does not have full time
paid secretary trained in his
work. Some of the Chamber of
Commerce people seem to think
that this should be done in the
near future because Key West is
missing good opportunity to get
going. Their thought is that the
secretary should be a live-Wire
or projects man. Then they fur
Their think that there should be
a publicity and letter-writing man
as his assistant. Sounds like a
darn good plan. In this manner
you will have a professional head,
who can aid in directing the adj
vertising program for Key West,
along with his assistant, who will
do most of the writing and will
be primarily a writer. The head
himself will be fast-stepping
secretary, with plenty of go" and
plenty of "savvy".

SMART POLITICIANS

Key Westers are very smart po-
litically. Many persons overlook
that point. Key Westers will vote
for you if you are for the majority
of them. They quickly find you
out when you are not. There
have been many attempts to
change the voting mind of the
electorate here but 1 have never
seen this accomplished. When
you come to the people seeking a
job you must come with hands
clean and with honest work for
the majority here. If you are
working for one faction your work
is soon known and spread far and
wide by Key Vests famous grape
vine. This grapevine, which is
said to be faster than wireless,
spreads far and wide everything
known about political dealings.

British Peer Launches
Bitter Attack on Loan
BY the Associated Pres,

LONDON, Feb. 28.-Lord Rother-
wick today attacked vigorously the
proposed American loan to Britain,
asserting that its approval would
mean this country would become
IAN illegitimate 49th state of Amer
ica."
Lord Rotherwick, chairman and
managing director of the Clan
Steamship Line, spoke at the an
nual meeting of the Chamber of
Shipping:
"1f this loan, with its one-sided,
impossible and unbelievable con-
ditions, takes place, then the only
comfort I can see for those OF us
who are growing old is that it will
tend to soften the pangs of death.
ct will mean the elimination of
this country as one of the great
powers for peace and stability in
the world, and I am afraid it will
result eventually in this country
sinking to small third-class
power-an illegitimate 49th state
of America, dragging down with her
the other members of the empire. /"
He said the loan should have been
given as a gift, free of interest.
1T is something to be ashamed
or he shouted. "It was nothing
more or less than the selling of the
British Empire and its independ-
ence to America"

Six-Month Extension
OF Draft Exempting All
Under Il Proposed
Representative May Also
Would Exclude Married
Men From Proposal
By the Associated Pres,

Extension of the draft law for
six months and exemption of
youths under 81 and all married
men from its provisions was pro-
posed today by Chairman May
OF the House Military Affairs
Committee.
The Kentuckian told reporters he
would introduce his bill within the
next few days and probably would
hold hearings in April.
The draft law, which permits in
duction of youths 18 or over, mar
ried or not, expires May Is.
Mr.. May said he was proposing
the six-month extension, instead of
the customary one year, as a STOP
gap to give Congress time to deter
mine such matters as the permanent
size OF the Army and whether there
shall be universal military training.
Would Exempt Men Over 30.
In addition to exempting youths
under q by law. Mr. May said he
would provide also for exemption
OF men over 80 and men with a wife
or children. The present draft law
permits drafting of men up to As
but the armed forces have ceased
accepting men in the older age
groups.
This measure" Mr.. May said,
will permit youths between 18 and
81 to complete their education be-
fore going into the Army or the
Navy, will protect the heads of fam
lilies regardless of their age, and.
with the new lowered physical
standards, will provide ample re-
placements for occupational troops"
He said the proposal was his own
Idea and did not necessarily reflect
views of the War Department.
Many committee members have
been expecting the War Depart
ment to request one-year exten-
sion of the draft law, but there is
doubt whether the committee would
approve that.
Expects Committee Approval.
Mr.. May said he believed the six
month extension would win commit
tee approval.
With the world situation what it
is, we can't afford to drop the draft
completely" he said.
The committee now is debating
whether to recommend universal
training law for the United States
or to sidetrack the issue in favor of
campaign to seek an international
ban on peacetime conscription.

Hoover Arriving Today
For Farley on Cut in
Food Consumption
Brood Publicity Drive
Mapped to Avert Threot
Of Starvation Overseas

A broad publicity campaign to
encourage Americans to share
their food with the hungry of
Europe, North Africa and Asia
was being mapped today by the
administration and will be
launched officially by President
Truman, probably after a White
House conference tomorrow.
The outline of the plan was dis
closed yesterday at the White House
in announcing tomorrows meeting
which will bring former President
Hoover here, along with a dozen
other prominent citizens who will
take the lead in the movement.
The program follows the recent
restrictions placed on the domestic
use of grains so more will be avail
able for export.
Hoover to Arrive Today.
Mr.. Hoover, food administrator il,
the World War, is due to arrive
today from Miami, where he has
been fishing in company with Law
renee Richey, his secretary. A Navy
plane was put at the disposal of the
former Chief Executive for the trip.
The program, designed to avert
what President Truman has called
mass starvation" overseas, will call
for the use of press, radio, pulpit,
speaking platform and other adver-
tising media to get across to Amer
leans the plight of those in other
lands.
Agriculture Department officials.
who have been preparing the cam
paign, said it will appeal to all
Americans to eat less bread, flour
and other cereal products, and to
prevent waste in meats, fats and
oils, dairy products and other food
items.
1t also will urge farmers. they
said. to market as soon as possible
all the wheat they can spare and
to curtail the feeding of grains to
livestock and poultry so that this
country may have larger supplies of
grains to ship abroad.
Wartime Psychology Sought.
Officials said the program will ask
consumers to ration themselves and
will appeal to food distributors and
professors to undertake informal ra-
tioning of bread, bakery products
and flour.
Sponsors of the drive hope to re-
establish "the wartime psychology
that it is not only patriotic but hu-
manitarian to cut down on food con-
officials said.
The appeal for voluntary curtail-
ment in eating is being brought on,
officials said, by the fact that this
country is falling behind in its
promise to ship a million tons of
wheat abroad monthly during the
1rst six months of this year.
suggestions that this country re-
turn to Government food rationing
have been rejected as unnecessary"
oy Agriculture Department officials
They expressed the belief that
Jealous campaign can result in saw
ing enough food here to tide over
hungry areas abroad until their new
crops next summer.
The White House meeting is sched-
lled for o'clock tomorrow after
noon. 1t will be under the direction
of Secretary Of Commerce Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
and Assistant Secretary of State
Clayton. !
