EXPLANATORY

Editor, The Citizen:
II is nothing short of amazing
that anyone reading the we'll
intentioned story of the New
Year celebration at the La Con-
cha, could attribute to it de-
sire on the part of this writer
to slur Key West and drive the
tourists away!
p. B. Roberts communication
re: My article was highly anus
ing TO me, falling as it does so
far to the left. felt, too, that
Miss Grace Wynn's delightful
vindication of me required no
further brief on my part. Unfor-
tunately, criticism of that type
can do a lot of harm as evinced
in the letter of the good people
in the January 9th issue, who
apparently go beyond a fancied
slur of their good city and inject
q racial difference into the sit
uation.
To them l would say, "This is
by no means my first visit to
Key West, but the third since
1910. If l did not like it and the
people here, would not have
come back after the first time.
And liking it, would want to
slam it, to others? That just
doesn't make sense, now does it?
have a number of delightful
Cuban friends here who can see
nothing wrong in the story. just
wonder who put that idea into
your heads :"
would suggest that you care
fully read the story again. If
you are really proud of your
contribution to Key West, you
will regard it as a compliment
10 you, and the description of
your celebration of the first
peaceful New Year in typical
Cuban fashion, as a well deserv-
ed opportunity after years of
wartime restriction.
Whether the dancing at the La
Concha was a credit to you or
not is something you must decide
for yourselves. Your audience
will not judge you by my story.
but by what they saw them
selves.
Personally enjoyed it i'm
mensely. / never laughed so
much in my life. AS to you, who
are making such a time about
nothing. would like to ask:
"Was you there, Charlie? If you
weren't, Charlie, you amt seen
nothing yeti"

PINKS DOHERTY

Editor, The Citizen:
i quote Rev. Doherty "a min
lister of the Lord: well give
them the best fight they ever
had"
also quote Mr.. Sirugo: I'VE
are just trying to establish what
we had before the war"
Rev. Doherty, did you know
that while America was at war
more than tWo-thirds of Amer
ica's bars were open on Sunday?
You know the ordinance as
well as I do. To refresh every
ones memory it is No. 10. Now,
tell me do you like to see things
on the up and up or behind a
persons back?
l am Fundamentally in favor
of Mr.. Sirugo when he says to
make Key West a thriving
tourist town.
Tell me, Reverend, what is a
tourists ambition when he visits
place of leisure? 1t isn't, most
certainly, to 60 to church, but to
enjoy the pleasures he will find
in the resort of his choice.
Reverend, your church isn't 60
ing to feed the people whose
daily bread depends upon the
tourist, because Key West is not
an industrial city. eve know
that, and so do yoW.
No hard feelings, Reverend,
but l would like to see Key
West get somewhere, instead of
talking about the past.

DEFENDS DoHERTY

Editor, The Citizen:
I have never written to your
Peoples Forum before, but feel
must answer Mr.. Joseph Sirugo's
letter of January 9th in regards
TO Rev. Doherty. Mr., Sirugo, l
differ with you as to Rev. Doher-
tvs interest in the community;
any man fighting for a clean city
in which to rear our children is to
be commended, not condemned.
Liquor is not an industry,
but rather a damnation to those
who are affected by it.
u.-You stated that beer, wine
and liquor are sold by bootleggers
and INSCRIPTIONS dealers. If you
know all of this, why don't you
go to the law?
IIl.-Many tourist have left our
fair city because of liquor dives,
especially on our main streets.
God help us if we have to run our
city on revenue from these places.
IV.-By your action you prove
YOU are ready to fight even the
= will of the people. am sure Rev.
Doherty would be glad to abide
by the will of the people, as the
people elected four out of five of
the commissioners who promised
TO uphold the Sunday closing
law.
V.-You said God tells us to
love our neighbor, not fight him.
God also says woe unto him who
puts the cup to his neighbors lips,
so beware.
VI.-Mr. Sirugo. l am afraid
you are in error about Ordinance

7 Win Fight 10 Resign
State Department. Jobs
Without Prejudice

The seven State Department en-
ployes dismissed several months
ago as bad security risks" today
mad won their fight for vindication
After several previous refusals to
reconsider the cases, the State De-
partment last night announced
that these employees would be per-
mitted to resign without prejudice
This means that the employees
will be able to quit their jobs with
nothing in the record against them
1t will remove any stigma that bad
security risks" implies.
Criticized by Press.
The employees had been fired
summarily without any hearings
and without presentation of charges
against them. The State Depart
ment repeatedly refused the work
ers' requests to be confronted with
the charges against them or be
permitted to resign, but the de-
partment did an abrupt about-face
last night following sharp criticism
of its procedure by many of the
countrys leading newspapers.
! In announcing its decision last
night, the department said the en-
ployes will be permitted to resign
without prejudice "in order to avoid
a possible injustice to them"
The department said the dismissed
employees had no way to appeal the
departments findings, even though
it had requested the newly created
Loyalty Review Board to hear their
appeals. Reason for this, it was
said, is because the employees have
signifed their intention of return
ing to private life and the review
board is set up only to determine
an employees eligibility for future
Government employment.
Dismissed Last July.
The f1rings took place last July
when 10 State Department workers
were removed from their Jobs.
| Subsequently, three of them were
allowed to resign. but this privilege
was denied the other seven.
The workers were employed as
record clerks and radio editors.
Most of them had an academic
background, having come to the
Government from teaching jobs in
large Eastern universities.
Their vindication also was tri-
umph for their attorneys, Thurman
Arnold, Abe Fortas and Paul Por-
! ter. who had accepted the case with
out fee because of the principle
| involved"
