Chinese Farm
Story Colorcd

SHANGHAI.-(AP). - Chinese
farmers are noted more for their
practically than for their aes-
thetic appreciation. Therefore
UNRRA's chemists in the UNRRA
pesticides manufacturing plant
here, where UNRRA is training
young Chinese to produce insect
killing sprays and dusts, were
puzzled at requests that DOT
dust, preythrum powder and
other chemicals be tinted rose
and azure and maize. But the
reason was purely practical.
When UNRRA first distributed
bug poisonS in China, it used
American-made pesticides which
had been tinted according to
various state laws. The pink and
blue poisons did their work
and the farmers we're convinced
it was the color that did it!

terested in medicine and moved
to Key West to study with his
uncle, DR.. John B. Maloney, an
outstanding physician of his day.
Showing immediate aptitude in
the profession, the young man en-
tered the University of Pennsyl-
vania and was graduated from
the university medical school in
1918.
The young intern desired to
specialize in tropical diseases and
requested that he spend his in
terneship in Colon Hospital, Pam
anna Canal Zone. In 1915 he came
to Key West to practice with his
uncle.
When DR.. Maloney died in 1916,
DR.: Galley took up his uncle's
practice and few years later
opened hospital which he named
the DR.. J. B. Maloney Memorial
Hospital. This institution, still
functioning actively, proceeded to
provide the Island City with the
most modern facilities for surgery
and medical treatment of all
kinds without endowment of any
type,
During World War |, DR.. Galley
served as d lieutenant in the
Medical Corps but became i'll at
Fort Meade, Md. and received a
medical discharge.

Law On Displaying.
Fruits, Vegetables
Claimed Violated

City Commissioner Louis Car
bonell, who led the successful at
tack against an ordinance to per-
nit use of city sidewalks for fruit
and vegetable display a few
weeks ago, told the Commission
last night that the law prohibit
ing such practices is being violat-
ed.
The commissioner said that he
had received report that one
citizen had narrowly escaped in
jury from falling over fruit and
vegetable racks on the sidewalk
al a certain location on Division
street. He requested strict en-
forcement of the law.
This morning City Manager
q. j. s. Ellingson said that if the
law is being violated the vege-
table and fruit display will be
prohibited.
The commission also rescinded
last night a motion which it had
previously passed naming Rich
ard Weaver and John Allan
Long To the City Planning Board.
Commissioner Albert Cooper,
who had offered the original mo-
ton. asked that it be rescinded
because of non-conformity" of
the two nominees. They never
appeared at the City Clerks Of
fee to qualify for the positions.

SWEETING WARNS OF PER-
Ills AT NAVAL HOSPITAL
CURVE HERE

Former City Commissioner w.
c. Sweeting drew the attention
of the city governing body last
night to the danger of the turn
in Roosevelt Boulevard at the
Naval Hospital corner. The City
Commission promptly passed a
motion to install a street light
and luminous markers at the cor
ner.
1.-THE turn is one of the most
dangerous spots IL the city, i"
Sweeting, veteran y garageman,
said, Il have pulled 10 cars and
two trucks out of that embank-
ment in the last few months. AL
though there have been no
deaths there yet, there have been
serious injuries. One person re-
ceived a broken back, another
two broken legs and many others
received painful injuries"
SWeeting said the curve should
be clearly marked so drivers un-
familiar with the road at night
would not plunge their cars over
the embankment at the sudden
turn. He offered to get reflectOrs
wholesale for the city and offer
ed to help install them, if pos
Sible.
Commissioner Albert Cooper
moved that a traffic light be in
stalled and that the city mark the
turn if the state, which pavcs the
street, does not. Commissioner
Louis Carbonell remarked that
Sweeting should be consulted
and Mayor w. w. Demer t t
instructed City Manager o. J. S.
Ellingsen to confer with the
garageman on taking the nee
essary preventive measures at the
turn.

In Palestine
UNDERGROUND DE.
cLARES EXECUTIONS NOT
REPRISALS: INSTEAD THEY
WE'RE HANGED AS SPIES

(By The Associated Press)
JERUSALEM, July 3O.-Bodies
of two British sergeants, who had
been held hostages by the Jewish
underground since July IA, were
found this morning hanging from
a tree at the entrance to a forest
in this area, the Jewish under
ground reported.
British authorities, who had
been conducting an intense
search for the sergeants did not
confirm the report.
An underground broadcaster
explained that the sergeants were
not executed in reprisal for the
hanging of three Jewish youths,
but were hanged "as spies" He
stated that British troops are UNI
lawfully occupying Palestine, and
that the SergeantS had been in
telligence officers, as the British
had admitted. which was only
another way of saying that they
were spying on the Jewish un-
foreground.
This morning marshal law was
lifted in Haifa, but this city has
been put under a dusk to- dawn
curfew. British authorities again
declared that they We're Oh the
point of putting all Palestine, in
Guiding that part inhabited by
Arabs, under marshal law. More
troops have been deployed in the
vicinity Of Haifa.
Uondon reported that 4.500
Jews, on three transports in a
French harbor, either will be
taken to the British zone in Ger
many or the Island of Cyprus. if
they continue to refuse to leave
the ships to enter Franco.
