I'm KEY VESTS BEHALF

Editor, The Citizen:
should like to make use of
your column to impress upon the
public an important matter.
The Key West Chamber of
Commerce is the only organiza-
ton in Monroe County whose
work 1t is to spend all Of its time
and money directly toward pro-
noting the progress and better
economic conditions Of the city
5f Key West.
In addition to the work per-
formed by the Chambers paid
staff, many hours have been
spent by volunteer committees
among the organizations mem
bership and members of the
Board of Directors. In my esti-
nation, the community is indeed
indebted.
1t has been rumored that
Chamber of Commerce funds
have been used to reimburse ex-
perses of members of the board
OF directors in various trips they
have taken to Miami, Tallahas-
see and elsewhere in the state,
along with trips to Washington,
D. G.. in the Chambers behalf.
This is not SO. Since my term as
treasurer of the Chamber OF
Commerce, not one penny of ex-
pense money has been paid out
other than to the paid staff of
the Chamber.
Edwin F. Trevor, President of
the Chamber of Commerce, has
spent over $500 out Of his own
pocket in making trips to Wash
ington and cities in the state OF
Florida in the Chambers behalf,
Former directors Louis Carbonell
and Fred Dion made a trip to
Washington iii the Chambers be-.
half at their own expense. A.
Maitland Adams made a trip to
Washington at his expense. /
myself made two trips to Wash
ington,, one of which was at my
expense, the other being financed
b ythe Key West Hotel and Res
taurant Association, of which at
that time / was president.
When | say 'in the Chambers
behalf wonder if l am not
greatly mistaken because in my
estimation / should say In Key
Vests behalf" We are not the
only directors and committeeman
who have given time and money
to the Chamber, as there have
been many others.
The organization is faced with
either expanding to where i. can
represent Key West adequately
or merely handling routine mat
ters. With proper promotion, the
island can be one of the most
important cities in Florida.
In addition to necessary funds
with which to work, it will also
require effort and planning of
businessmen in the community
to help achieve what we desire.
1t will require those who will
give in addition to money, time
toward planning greater Key
West.
The work of promoting and de-
veloping the city is not a matter
for the Board or office staff of
the Chamber of Commerce alone.
1t is the duty of every citizen of
the community because every
citizen benefits from the accom-
pliShments of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Good things are the result of
group action. According to our
vision and cooperation, Key West
can be almost anything we want
it to be. Through the Chamber
of Commerce group action, we
can accomplish our desires.

Murray Hears Plea
By Bridges 10 Keep
His Union in Clio
By the Asseeiofsd Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 29.-Harry
Bridges longshoremen got little
comfort from CIO President Philip
Murray today in q last-minute ef-
fort to stave off threatened custer
at the CIO convention.
Mr.. Murray, in a two-hour
closed session, listened to Bridges
delegation and then referred the
whole matter to the floor Of the
convention which opens here Mon
day.
Bridges wanted a commitment
from Mr.. Murray on the long
shoremen's future autonomy and
membership in the Soviet -domi-
mated World Federation Of Trade
Unions. which the CIO left last
spring.
The CIO chief emerged from
the session smiling and Bridges
wore wide grin. too. But at
times the talking became noisy
enough for reporters waiting out
side to hear. In one heated ex-
change Bridges was called "liar."
Will See Electrical Workers.
After the meeting Bridges re-
ferred all questions about the talk
to Mr.. Murray. He also was tight
Tipped when he entered the con-
ference, along with about a dozen
members Of what he called key 10
calls. and Hugh Dryso, head OF the
Marine Cooks and Stewards.
MIR. Murray is to meet a delega-
ton of the United Electrical
Workers tomorrow. He indicated
but did not promise-that he
would send the UE's case to the
convention floor, also without
action on his part.
There seemed little doubt, how
ever, of the CIO presidents firm
determination to penalize the left
lists leaders for rebelling at CIO
general policy. mainly in United
States politics and on relations
with the Soviet Union. Mr.. Muir
ray accuses the left Of harboring
pro- Communists and following
the line of Communist sympa-
thiZers.
Neither the powerful resolutions
committee headed by right-wing
Walter Reuther, nor the constitu-
ton committee with Frank Rosen-
blum as chairman disposed of the
major issues which would bring on
the showdown.
Refuses to Pay Dues.
The UE union has asked Mr..
Murray to fire CIO officers who
criticize the UE or help right-wing
raids on its ranks. That ultima
tum-with UE refusing to pay its
dues to CIO unless Mr.. Murray
complies-could be softened at the
Sunday session, of course.
That might put Murray on a
spot in the right-wing plans to
oust the 13 unions. with 1000, 900
Of the CLOS 100000 members,
under left leadership.
Three unions are in the most
jeopardy. they are UE-because of
its defiance Of Mr.. Murray and its
position as the spearhead of the
left - Mine. Mill and Smelter
Workers and the Farm Equipment
Workers.
The latter merged yesterday
with the UE, complicating that
situation but not changing the
right wings decision to crack
