Quoted December 2, was discuss
ed in a meeting of officers of
that organization today.
Edwin F. Trevor, president of
the Chamber, has stated that
the Chamber of Commerce will
go to bat" for the city and asks
that citizens and business men
stand behind its efforts.
Work on the two giant sign
boards to be erected on Highway
No. ] north of Miami is progress
ing rapidly. The Neil Saunders
Sign Company has received all
materials necessary and men are
working on the bulletins.
The boards, Identical to the
one that was erected earlier this
year which is located near Fort
Lauderdale, will convey a strik-
ing message to motorists travel
ing south along the Federal
highway.
A large neon sign with 12-inch
letters inviting Miami traffic to
visit Key West via the Overseas
Highway, will be erected on
Biscayne boulevard, in that city,
and an extra large supply of
Key West literature is to be or
dered for distribution in the Mi
ami area.
Trevor stated that one of the
primary functions of the Cham
Der of Commerce is to bring
more tourists here. Key west
has the natural advantages which
many of them seek when they
visit Florida. ,
"Our climate is unmatched
anywhere and our fishing is UNI
surpassed" Trevor said at is up
to Key West to exploit these adj
vantages, bring tourists in to en-
joy them, then cash in on the
benefits we derive from the
money tourists spend. i,
every tourist dollar, or out
side dollar, spent in Key West
automatically finds it's way
through business cash registers
and eventually into our citizens
purses. Tourist dollars do not
merely enter hotel and restau-
rant tills and stay there, even
tually they rest in the purses of
all citizens earning a livelihood
in the city.
Everyone is affected favor
ably when outside money is
spent in any one of our bust
ness Establishments.
"In order to induce more tour
lists into our city, we must 60
out and dig up this source Of
revenue. The advertising pro-
gram as it is to be launched by
the Chamber will be costly. The
Chamber of Commerce expects
our citizens to support the pro
gram"

Marines Inspected
Today On Occasion
OF 172nd Birthday
tCAPT. SAUNDERS, SUB
BASE, CAPT. WITT, OF
MARINES HERE, LAUD
CORPS

The United States Marine
Corps was lauded here today by
Capt. Willard Saunders, USN,
commanding officer of the Key
West Submarine Base, following
an inspection of the two platoons
of Marines on duty at the base.
Occasion for his remarks was
the observation of the birthday
of the Marine Corps. II was on
November 10, ITS, just l72 years
ago, that a corps of Marines was
created by resolution of the
Continental Congress.
Inspection of the local Ma
rines took place on the baseball
diamond at the Submarine
Base. The Marines swung off
Front street in the base and
were formed in echelons by LIST
1t. Clyde r. Mann, on the dia~
mond.
Then came Capt. Saunders,
followed closely by Capt. Will
liam S. Witt, USING, command
ing officer of the Marine Bar
racks at the Sub Base. After
inspecting the smartly attired
Marines, Capt. Saunders said:
1T is with a great deal of pride
that I salute the Marines. In all
my "a years service with the
Navy, / have had many occasions
to be in close contact with the
Marines, and I've always found
they were well trained and a
! fine outfit"
Before Capt. Saunders made
his remarks, Capt. Witt read a
message which said, in part:
During the two great strug
giles our nation has fought in this
century, men of the Marine
Corps wrote the two glorious
chapters in our history. In
World War, ], enemy and alges
alike were moved to open ad-
miration for the fighting ability
of the Marines at Chateau
Thierry, Belleau Wood, Scissors,
ST. Mihiel and the Argonne.
THAT reputation was carried
on by Marines on land, on sea
and in the air in World War H.
The nations determination and
courage was lifted in those dark
hours of the treacherouS Jap
aneSe attack by the valiant Ma
rine defense of Wake Island
Members of the corps also
fought during the stubborn de
Tense of the Philippines. Later,
it was the Marines who we're
called upon to make our first Of
fenSive move of the war in the
er-to-be forgotten battle for
Guadalcanal.
And until the Japanese sur
render some three years later,

brought forth the full and open
realization of all Americans
that the Marine Corps is indeed
the finest fighting organization
in the world"

tiles will be the cutting of the
Marine Corps cake

rant, Senior Marine Corps OF
licer in Key West, at the Fleet

officials of the Veterans of For

can Veterans today charged that
veterans were being pushed out of
Civil Service jobs in violation of
preference rights guaranteed them
under law.
The veterans leaders said agen-
cies have put various evasive tao
tics to use to trick ex-GIs ouls OF
their jobs, and warned of additional
dangers as general Federal layoffs
| increase.
The groups also charged that vet
erans' grievance rights were being
blocked by red tape, and-claimed
that as many ex-GIs are being
separated from Civil Service rolls
as are being added.
Joint Statement Issued.
In a joint statement, the organi-
zations said they became concerned
over the job-preference situation
after their attention was brought
ito increased appeals brought by
veterans against discrimination and
dismissals."
/ William Christianson, DAV civil
service officer, said that there are
'too many directors of war-bloated
agencies who are willfully circum-
venting spirit of the Veterans
Preference Act"
Too often," he declared, years
of satisfactory service in govern
mental agency are being clirnaxed
by the veteran being given an ef-
f1ciency rating of less than salts

preference and then his job"
Grievance Machinery Hit.
The veteran with a grievance
generally finds his recourse direct
to the Civil Service Commission
after dismissal, said George L. Mac
Elroy, VFW. He added:
I'VE must get redress from top
executives of the agencies before
the veteran has to take this course.
Grievance channels are fouled up by
evasive practices, and the veteran
often finds them tortuous and de-
liberately blocked with red tape or
false statements"
| The officials added that in some
cases "subversive and disloyal Fed
eral officials may be joining with
general maladministration to violate
veterans preference"
Job Reduction is Charged.
They charged that many veterans
have BEEN seased into job-reduction
and dismissal by warning letters
from officials, charging poor per-
formance of duty.
Others, they said, who have per-
formed satisfactory work, have been
replaced by nonveterans who have
been reduced from higher-paying
jobs.
The VFW also struck at re-em-
ployment delays, and has launched
a campaign for grant of retroactive
pay to veterans who have to wait
more than 80 days to be reinstated
in jobs, spokesman said.
At the same time, Mr.. MacElroy
said representatives OF the groups
plan to urge legislators this month
to strengthen preference laws.

channels" he added, 1--WE hope we
