Congress Meets
Tomorrow For
Short Session
tBy The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Con-
greSs will convene at noon tomor-
row and then recess until Mon
day to receive President Tru-
mans message on the state of the
Union.
Despite the Presidents state
ment that he does not think the
time opportune to reduce income
taxes, Representative Knudson
of Minnesota said today that he
will file his bill for lower income
taxes on January 81. He still as
serted that he thinks taxes on
individuals can be reduced, 20
per cent with'T2a corresponding
reduction in government, ex-
penses. =. ,oHnL - ~, -.
Even some of Knudson's col
leagues said they thought that
January 81 was too early to in
troduce his bill, but he replied it
will go to the hamper on that
day. %~a""''

Monroe Schools
To Open Monday
For $500 Pupils

School bells will ring again for
$500 Monroe County children on
Monday after the Christmas hol-
iday.
In formally announcing this
fact today, Willard M. Albury,
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, said the number of children
in the county had increased, ra-
Their than decreased, since the
peak of Key West war activities.
Il don't know where all the
children come FROM" Albury
said. 1--WE actually have few
more of school age then we had
during the emergency. But all
our schoals, and they are among
the best in the state, are ready
for them"
Even up at Marathon the school
Will have more pupils than it had
at any time since the war. He
said he had to assign another
teacher at Marathon to handle
the so children there.
A shortage of about three
teachers in the Key West schools
is seen by Albury. He expects
to fill the vacancies from a list
of applicants he has on hand.
No repairs to schools are con-
templated in Monroe County be-
fore the summer vacation. Then,
Albury said, it is planned to re-
model Division Street School.

Sailfish, Hooked On Light Tackle,
Landed, Thanks To Red Maxwell

DR.. Ridgley w. Baer of Fred
erick, Md, who is spending the
winter here with his wife and
daughter, pretty teen-aged Ted
dy Baer, has been chatting for a
sailfish for weeks. Finally. he
contacted Capt. Red. Maxwell,
pilot of the "Heidi-HO," who has
had the inside track on sailfiSh
this season.
Capt. Maxwell's boat is being
repaired for few days so DR..
Baer invited the captain to use
his own craft, the Helen M a
staunch vessel which carried the
Baers all the way down the At
lantic coast to North Beach. The
Helen NJ" however, had no
heavy tackle.
Nevertheless, Capt. Maxwell
decided to make the try with
light tackle - something like
hunting grizzly bears with q
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-01-02

All three Baers tossed their lines
over and before the afternoon
was over. each had d sailfish on
the slender lines.
Teddy's and Mrs. Baer's got
away. The doctor. however,
brought in a five-footer but only
after, the Helen M was swung
around to all points of the COM
pass, as Capt. Maxwell rushed
from pilot house to the stern,
and back and forth, trying to
keep thes.boat on its course and
the fish on the hooks.
The 'Baers used only a r.
thread line and 80 reel. If any
body believes it can't be done,
they can see DR.. Baer's sailfiSh
in the near future. He is having
it stuffed and mounted - with
a special tribute to Red Max

Eisenhower To
FOrestall ANY
Political Boom
CBy Associated Press)

MIAMI, Jan. 2.-Following on
the heels of the report two days
ago that General Dwight D. Els
enhower was agreeable to becom-
ing a candidate for the presi-
dency in 1948, it was said today
that he will issue a statement
shortly declaring he is complete
ly divorced from politics.
He has pointed out that he has
never voted, and is neither a Re
publican nor a Democrat.
His action, asserting that he is
not seeking any office, not even
the presidency, will be taken in
the hope of forestalling any pos
sible boomS to boost him 'as d
presidential candidate.
Eisenhower, it was explained,
is content to remain the Army S
chief of staff until he is retired
in the fall of 1948.

In Processing s.
Vets, Loans

Scrapping a 15-month-old pro-
cedure, the Veterans Administra-
ton today reverted to the direct
assignment of appraisers to pro-
tect veterans against priced
properties in the current high
market. ... ..'.'.t
Under the revised -, procedure
which precludes the practice of
shopping for appraisers, the
VA will designate by name the
persons to appraise each piece of
property to be purchased under
a CT loan.
]. M. Slaton, Jr., VA deputy
administrator at Atlanta, notified
V. S. Parker, Miami regional
manager, that the panels of desig
mated appraisers which were fur
nished to lenders were with
drawn yesterday, and that effec-
tive today the designation of
appraisers where realty is in
volved will be made by VA loan
guarantee Ulcers upon the
specific request of the lender in
each individual loan.
Parker told that the action
will not affect outstanding as
signments made by lenders from
the panel prior to January l.
Requests for appraisers may be
sent to the loan guarantee OFFICER
by simple letter in duplicate for
each appraisal, giving merely
the name of the veteran and
the location and identity of the
property.
Parker said the change-over
will not slow down the process
ing of loans.

Red Star Hits
US. And Speaks
Highly OF Russia
tBy The Associnted Press,

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE
Kremlin today, through it's
mouthpiece, the Red Star, resort
ed to a good many backhanded
slaps at the United States, and,
conversely, painted bright and
glorious pictures for the home
folks during 1947.
The bouquets and brickbats
were in So-called outlook, sup
posedly based on present condi-
tons, of what will happen in Rus
STA and the United States during
this year.
Red Star declared that there
is a decided tendency in the
United States at present toward
the falling off of production in
this country's great industries,
while every condition in Russia
points to a rapid increase of sup
plies in all industries during 1947.
Conclusion among economists
in the United States, regarding
Red Stars predictions, is that
production is not as good in Rus
STA as Premier Stain and his col
leagues in the Kremlin had
hoped, and that they had direct
ed Red Star to run the article,
derogatory to the United States,
complimentary toward Russia, in
the hope of enheartening the
people in that country.
1t is known, in the United
States that things, industrially,
are not going so well in Russia,
Russia is still following its prac-
tice of many years in duplicat-
ing some productions in the
United States, and it is known
here that Russian industfialists
are falling behind the quotas
that had been specified for them
a year ago. So Russian high Of
ficials. as usual, belabors the
United States and coddles Russia
in the hope of creating conf
dence among its people.
