Key Westers Back
Barge; ice O-Kay
Appears Probable

A strong force of Key Westers
testified in favor of Key West
Miami barge service at a hearing
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Miami yesterday.
City Commissioners Louis Car
bonel and Hunter Harden rep
resented the city; Commissioners
Frank Bentley, Gerald Saunders
and Clarence Higgs the county;
Fred Dion, Jr., the Chamber of
Commerce. All supported the APP
plication of Louis Berger for
mer Navy barge man, for a fran
chise to operate the barge serv-
ice.
Carbonell testified As minutes
in the afternoon. Harden, Bent
ley and Dion followed him on
the stand. Berger, who testified
during the morning, again took
the stand. A. Maitland Adams
and Traffic Manager Densmore
of Miami represented Overseas
Transportation in opposition to
the barge service.
Densmore's plea for postpone
ment Of the hearing was denied
by Commissioner Gray, who will
render his final decision from
Washington. Carbonell said pros
poets of approval look bright
since, at one stage, Gray told the
Overseas representative that the
only people who gould REALS
complain about a barge service
would be another water carrier
