washington News Letter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Dur-
ing the struggle some years ago
for the purchase and deepening
of the East Coast Canal from
Jacksonville to Miami, the bust
ness people of Key West sup
ported the movement even
though they knew they would
not benefit directly at that time.
Now Key West needs help in
her fight for her canal. Not from
a monetary standpoint but just
moral and verbal adjust a
word or two from our business
men and civic organizations to
our Florida delegation in Con
gress.
Those of us that have been
fortunate enough to make the
trip to Key West lately certain
ly noticed the great changes of
the past few years. Once known
as a fishing village, it is now d
thriving, busting city with an
outstanding future, and every
civic organization along the East
and Gulf coasts should assist in
the present effort to provide that.
city with at least a seven-foot
channel. .#.
We quote from a resolution
received from l.. M. Pierce,
former Commodore, Key West
Yacht Club, the farthest south
yacht club in the u. S.:
"At 20 time in the history of
Key West has there been a
greater need for an adequate in
land waterway than there is at
present.
"This is brought about by the
continued growth and extension
of this city, which obviously is
requiring greater means OF
transportation to this point. The
present means of supplying
commodities, building materials,
etc, is not sufficient to keep up
with the continued demands in
this area.
AT present, any means OF
freight transportation by water
requires exposure to the At
lantic Ocean because of the ne
cessity of having to take the
outside route (Hawks ChanneD
fifty percent of the way be-
tween Miami and Key West.
Sudden storms make this voyage
hazardous.
THE Key West Yacht Club is
100 per cent in favor OF the
proposed project and will assist
in any way possible to further
this important undertaking

Act In Cases
Against Meyers
HE WILL ALSO BE COURT
MARTIALED: TWO JURIES
INVESTIGATING CHARGES
AGAINST HIM
(By Associated PressD


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-A
grand jury here, which began it's
sessions on October |, today laid
aside all other matters to begin
hearing testimony on several
counts against former Major
General Bennett E. Meyers, re-
Gently grilled before a war con-
tracts investigating committee.
1t was stated that matters to
be considered are war contract
frauds and perjury.
In Baltimore, where Meyers
filed his income tax statements,
a grand jury will investigate al
legged income tax eVaSionS.
Further, the army, which has
revoked the medals given Mey-
ers and stopped the issuance of
a $549 monthly pension, will
court him.
Department of Justice agents
and Attorney General Tom Clark
will present evidence against
Meyer at the hearing that is be-
ing conducted by the local grand
jury. |
