President Flags Totalitarianism
In His Address To Congress For
Assistance OF Greece And Turkey
fRy Asseeiate Presa,

WASHINGTON, March H.
President Truman, in his address
to a joint session of congress this
afternoon in behalf of Greece
and Turkey, did not mince his
words regarding the inroads
totalitarianism has made in Eu-
rope by coercion and subterfuge.
He. said that in three specific
instances the peoples of coun-
tries in Europe had been, forced
against their will to establish to-
talitarian governments, and add
ed that other peoples ARE being
coerced to adopt that form of
government.
If Greece and Turkey are to
survive as free states, he declar-
ed, then they must be helped by
the United States, which is the
only country in the world able
to assist them in continuing a
democratic form OF government.
Great Britain, Truman stated,
has been helping Greece and
Turkey but, because of economic
stress in Great Britain she is not
able to render further assistance.
She has announced that she will
discontinue her aid to Greece on
March 81, and while the plight
of that country could be taken
care of by the United Nations,
that procedure would be too
lengthy, because Greece needs
immediate assistance. He called
on congress to render that as
sistance, else Greece will be
plunged into chaos.

there appeared little doubt that
one or both of these means would

Mayor Demeritt said he has

vides for a 2 per cent sales and
use tax and will shortly read the

unless a sales tax is fully eX-
planned, most people will be-

conceded that some merchants
would oppose it, but expressed
the belief that many would ia
Vor it.
He was especially concerned
with the conditions of the city's
pavements and though speaking
highly of City Engineer Robert

Mayor w. w. Demeritt, COM
menting on rumorS that he might
resign in November, said yester
day that it is his intention to stay
in office if sufficient funds are
made available to the city for
necessary civic improvements.
THE only reason I've been
talking of getting out" the mayor
said, SIS because we don't have
any money to do anything with.
The city needs money to repave
its streets, extend its sewers, de-
velop the Garrison Blight and at
tend to other improvements. "
Mayor Demeritt said he favor
ed a sales tax as the best means
of raising the required funds.
However. he said. IF
something else develops that
will get us the money. that's
all right. too. If money is made
available for the necessary i'm
provements. ii is my intention
TO stay on the job"

DEFERRED ACTION UN.,
TIL APRIL L; HEARD
CITIZENS AT MEETING
LAST NIGHT

AItef nearing arguments Tor
and against the immediate selec-
ton of a beach site, Monroe
County Commission voted last
night to defer final action until
the next regular session, April l..
II was felt that the commission
had not given full consideration
to the Stock Island and the
Boulevard sites, while it was
shown the Martello Tower site
had been carefully studied.
Frank Bentley, chairman of the
commission. saying he was OPP
posed to further delay in the
selection of a beach site, was the
only member of the commission
10 vote against the resolution to
defer action.
Commissioner Gerald Saun-
ders, chairman of the committee
of the commission directed to
study the question, said he voted
reluctantly" for the resolution.
The resolution was offered by
Commissioner Clarence Higgs,
and firm ''yeas" were received
from Commissioners w. A. Par
rish and Eduardo Gomez.
For upwards of two hours last
night the commission heard ar
guments from various citizens.
The majority felt that the COM
mission would be acting unWisely
IL it selected the site of the beach
al the time.
1T would not hurt to wait an
other week at least" Glenn G.
Price, president of the Chamber
OF Commerce and chairman of the
Rotary Clubs Beach committee,
said.
Selection of a beach site for
Key West, and understand you
favor the Martello site, would. be
the greatest thing that ever hap
pened TO the city" the Rev. ). G.
Yelton, pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church, said. "The Pastor
Group of Key West is all for the
selection of the beach site now"
Rogelio Gomez urged the COM
mission to select the site above
Bertha street and at the same
time acquire part of the Mea-
cham Field Airport
THE government has spent
100000 on Meacham Field and
no effort should be overlooked to
acquire that property" Gomez
said.
Mayor w. w. Demeritt appear
ed also in favor of the Boulevard
Site He said he knew personally
that there was never any beach
at Martello Tower, and that the
beach at Boulevard site had
been of a fine nature until de-
strOyed by construction of the
boulevard breakwater.
He urged a beach for the
negro residents of the city. He
added that there was plenty of
room on other parts of the island
for a negro bathing beach.
Further, if you take 500 or
GOO feet of Rest Beach to make
Martello site . stand up, then
you're offending the man who
purchased Rest Beach and are
blocking his plans to build a fine
hotel there" Demeritt said.
After Commissioners Bentley
reported on a conference held
with Ii. Col Clifford Singleton,
