ceived another telephone
call from counsel of the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton this morning. The call
was in regard TO a special
session of the City Commits
sion but parliamentary law
experts at the City Hail ex- :
pressed doubt that the liquor
interests would want a spe-
cial session if they knew
more about il.
II was pointed out that nj
a special session unanimous
approval of an ordinance Is
necessary under the City
Charter. Considerable doubt
was expressed that the
Commission would give unan-
imous approval to an ordin-
ance favoring sale of beer.
wine or liquor on Sunday.
Meanwhile. rumors flew

peared probable the issue

Cop, Not Fooled By Moustache,
Trails And Nabs Bandit Suspect

A dark mouStache on a man
wanted by the Miami police for
armed robbery didn't fool sharp
eyed Patrolman Frank jolly last
night.
Shortly after Chief of Police
Bienvenido Perez had shown him
and the other policemen a pic
ture of the suspect, jolly took
a walk up Duval street. A man
and woman also happened to be
walking along the main stem
about that time, which would
not have been anything unusual,
except that the man fitted the
description of the suspect almost
to a ct"
The only difference was that
the man had a mouStache and
the picture didn't. Taking no
chances, jolly trailed the couple.
Down Duval street they went
and turned into Fleming. At the
corner of Fleming and Duval
jolly made a quick phone call
to headquarters.
Chief Perez, 1t. Ray Atwell
and Sheriff Berlin Sawyer, who
happened to be in conference
with the police heads, respond
ed in car. AS the man and
woman reached a furniture store,
Jolly closed in from the rear and.
the chief and Atwell got out of
the car and closed in from the
front and street side.
The suspect offered no resist
ance. Despite his moustache he
proved to be the man wanted by
the Miami authorities, Ebert
DeForest Morrison, 26. Miami
detectives rushed here to get him
and took him back at 2 O'clock
this morning.
No weapons or booty were
found on Morrison or in his
rooms in the 900 block of Di-
vision street. Morrison's wife
took Chief Perez there but a
complete search revealed moth
ing. Morrison is said to have
been living in Key West and
| Miami for a year. The robbery
he is alleged to have committed
occurred four years ago.

President Submits Budget To
Congress; Republicans Assert
Sum Can Be Reduced Billions
STILL INSIST ON DE-
CREASING TAX ON IN
COMES, ABOLISHINC
LUXURY TAX
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. -
President Truman's budget for
the next fiscal year calls for~an
expenditure of $37, 528, 100000,
but Senator Robert Taft, Re
publican, Ohio, declared the bud
get could be reduced to S33,50O
100000 without affecting the eff
ficiency of the Army or the
Navy.
The budget provides for $11,-
0O0,000,0 900 for national defense:
81 1000, 100000 for expenditures
for veterans, and $5,000,000, 900
for payment OF interest on the
national debt.
The President estimated that
$444, 100000 will be needed to
continue activities in the field of
atomic energy.
Length of the budget is 1853
pages. Printed copies of it were
distributed among members of
congress.
Representative John Tabor, Re-
publican, New York, fell far be-
low the Taft proposal. He main
tanned that the budget could be
reduced to $29,000,000, 900 and,
with reduction of expenditures
that in no way will affect the
stability of the government, that
amount would be entirely ample.
He explained that he has
studied the fiscal structure of the
government, and that he felt con-
fident that the operation and
maintenance of government
could be kept within $29.000,000,-
600, if the government is dispos-
ed to practice economies in a
multitude of agencies.
Taft and Tabor reasserted that
they are determined to support
legislation that will reduce the
income tax on personal incomes
and to abolish so-called luxury
taxes. The first measure will pro-
vide much needed relief to in
dividualS from the burdensome
taxes they have paid in the last
six years, and the second act will
give small businesses relief from
the imposition of taxes on mer-
chandise which the government
has characterized as luxuries.
Tipping the budget required
the use of six pounds of paper.
Besides the thousands of items
enumerated, reasons for their
continuance or exclusion in the
tax structure are given.

that they would file immediate
appeals to the State Supreme

Bahama Bar, Duval street.
Vocelle, in handing down his
decision, quoted letters he had
received from J. Tom Watson,
state attorney general
Watson held that San Carlos
school is entitled to the protec-
ton and benefit of the laws of
the state from the recognized
evils of the bar rooms men
toned.
He also held that the City of
Key West was not right in re-
stricting the location where Ii
quors are TO be sold within an
incorporated municipality to less
than 800 feet of a school.
VOcelle said he had put off the
suspension of the places to March

the parties affected under the
law.

conflict in the so-called school
