voters choose between several states

possible. You remember Mr.. War

Democratic nomination for Governor
last year. So. if-as is now being
planned few thousand friends
put him up as candidate in the
Democratic presidential preference
primary, his name will be on the
ballot, just like Mr.. Truman's and
Henry Wallace's. And then, since
lot of Californians have got in
the habit of putting cross along

they see it on ballot, that's how
certain number of delegates are

PostOffice Receipts

Postoffice receipts for 1916, an
nounced by Postmaster Hollon R.
Bervaldi today, show a drop of
$96, 439.64 from 1945's total re-
ceipts. The total figure for last
year is $155, l44.68 as compared
with receipts of 251,584.32 in
1915.
Although the lowest total re-
ceipts since 1943, the 1916 figure
is considerably higher than pre-
war years, Bervaldi said. He at
tributed the decrease to normal
postwar conditions, especially
the decrease in the number of ma
val and civilian personnel en-
ployed here.
One significant aspect of the
postmaster's month-by-month re-
port for the year was the jump in
December receipts in 1916 over
November, as compared with the
increase in December, 1945, over
November of that year. The 1916
increase was roughly Is percent
higher than in the previous year.

Cubans Post $500 Bond After
Landing Here Without Notice

Forced to post $500 bond for
landing at Meacham Field with
out giving advance notice to the
U. S. Customs Office, two young
Cuban filters, bound for the All
American Air Show at Miami,
turned back to Havana at 5
p. m. yesterday.
F. r. Soper, Deputy Collector
in Charge of the Port of Key
West, said it was necessary to
take the filters bonds because
they had not given him notice of
their impending arrival. Customs
officials must be notified in
time to permit them to be at the
airport before foreign planes
land.
The Cubans, Arlnando San
chez, %, the pilot; and Oscar Cor
do, %, landed at Meacham Field
about 2 p. m. Thursday. Soper
was notified and turned the filters
over to the Cuban Consul here
while they sent to Havana for
funds to pay their bond.
The funds arrived about "a
hours after they landed here.
Discouraged at the delay and the
expense, the visitors returned to
Havana. The air show started
Friday morning.
Soper said that similar Incl
dents occur here several times a
year. He said that the bond may
be RENTED to Sanchez and Cor
do entirely or in part by; the
Commissioner of Customs.
The local official. said that he
makes its.aaapoint -dnfoaAm~all
private filters leaving for Cuba to
wire him before they leave Cuba
on the return trip, at least four
hours in advance. The CubahS
should have been notified of the
procedure before they left Ha-
vana, he said.
Sanchez blamed the field man
ager of the Pan American Air
ways, Inc, airport in Havana for
the incident, saying he had prom
ised to notify US. Customs of the
youths arrival in advance.
