They wonder about its signific-
ance.
Like a picture speaking a thou
sand words. Key Vests own in
irnitable Conga Line tells them
the story. Staged on the street,
in striking contrast to modern
shops and neon lights, the "Fa-.
rola'' led jungle dance mocks the
bonds, defies the trend to con-
servatiSm.
Latin youth of Eros strain
Anglo Saxon laws disdain.
Under the unforgettable drum
ming influence of the dance, visi-
tors are brought to feel the in
domitable undercurrent of Latin
life forcing its passionate way
above Illustration, refusing to be
constrained.
Besides the flowers, the palms
and the sea, that also is Key
West.

Postpone LecuOna
Concert Because
|Of Illness

The Latin-American Chamber
of Commerce announces that due
to serious illness on the part OF
the artists brother, the Ernesto
Lecuona Concert scheduled to
take place at the Convent audi
forum here in Key West on De-
eember is, has been postponed.
DR.. DePoo, president of the Latin
American Chamber of Commerce
is in constant telephone contact
with Senior Lecuona in Havana
and as soon as a definite date can
be set, there will be newspaper
announcements of the date. All
tickets purchased so far will be
honored 1T the future concert.
In spite of fairly heavy rain
at about 2 p. M, last Saturday,
which sent few persons scurry-
ing home, the weather cleared
sufficiently by $3.50 for the Con-
ga Line 10 start from in front of
the La Concha Hotel as schedul-
ed. Several thousand Key Westers
and visitors enjoyed the colorful
performance with the unique
Farolas. the compelling Latin
rhythms. the gaily costumer dane
erS shaking their way down Du-
val street. Many of the visitors
who had not previously bought
tickets. found the Conga Line suf-
ficiently enticing to follow it
down to the Cuban Club and buy
admissions to the performance.
Every table was taken and the
walls were lined with standees.
Judge Enrique Esquinaldo was
the very popular master of cere-
monies and Mayor Louis M. J.
Eisner were the Latin-American
Chambers guests of Honor. There
were also two large tables of
press and radio representatives
from the Presidents party.
Whether it has the Conga Line
that inspired them, or the music
of the two excellent orchestras,
Los CumbancheroS and Ell Gu
baney, everyone who could get
on the dance floor danced almost
continuously.
The half dozen excellent num-
bers presented all brought en-
tbusiastic applause and almost
all Of them were encored.
These numbers are Just about
one-third of the program prepar-
ed by Alberto Boza for Key

GASPARILLA FIESTA SHOW
WAS TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
BY OLD MAN GREEN

No better title than This is Key
West" could have been chosen for
the pro-Gasparilla Fiesta show
staged in Key. West on Saturday
night, December 10, under the
sponsorship of the Latin-Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce.
Not only was the show enter
tanning to a degree, but in its
own spectacular way it brought
the dual personality of Key West
into full focus.
Of particular interest in that
respect was the prelude, the
Dance of the Conga Line.
From a viewpoint of wider
publicity, it was of far greater
value to the city than the excel
lent dance and the thrilling floor
show that followed at the Cuban
Club.
Staged on the street as free
performance, it was viewed and
remembered by far more visitors
than could possibly have been
accommodated at the club.
Visitors come and go. Some
of them, wholly engrossed in va
cational pursuits, see little But
the flowers. the palms and the
sea. They are satisfied.
Others, however. more CON
cerned with people and their
ways, are intrigued by Key
Vests dual personality, its dual
language. They wonder why it
persists in spite of progress.

Exchange 10 Study Problem
OF Many Holiday CIosings
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Emil
Schram, president of the New York
Stock Exchange, said today the
exchanges governors would start
an immediate study of the entire
question Of holiday closings.
The study, it was understood
in the financial district, was
prompted by complaints from
member firms because the ex-
change will be closed two days
next week, on November 8, election
day, and November II, Armistice
Day.
Mr.. Schram said the study would
be aimed at determining what
changes, If any, should be made in
present policy.
It was believed the board would
consider the possibility of limiting
closing days to national holidays.
The exchange now suspends
operations ~ times q year, for
New Years Day, Lincoln's and
Washington's birthdays, Memorial
Day. Independence Day, Labor
Day, Columbus Day, Election Day,
Good Friday, Armistice Day,

fractional Advances
And Losses Scrambled
In Stock Dealings
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The stock
market looked around for a di-
|rection today without much sue
cess.
Gains and losses were well
scrambled, with most price
changes in small fractions. Many
market leaders swung indecisively
between the plus and minus COL
iumns and numerous stocks showed
no variation at all.
Business was done in fits and
starts. Occasional hurries of ac-
tivity helped to maintain turnover
at substantial level.
Railroad issues did a little better
than most other groups. As they
did yesterday for a change. al
though there were a few losses
among the carriers too.
Beaunit Mills tripped over an
omitted dividend and poor earn
|ings reports. The price was
chopped down 112 to 1912 at one
time.
A block of $500 shares of Bond
Stores traded at IS, a new low and
la loss of 1s.
Also lower were United States

|Sparkman Proposes
Public Housing With
Some Private Capital

Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
OF Alabama. just returned from q
three-week study Of housing in
Scandinavia, today proposed a new
type of cooperative housing pro-
gram in which private capital
would participate.
He told a press conference at
the Capitol that he believes Con-
gress will pass legislation next
year to help provide for families
with moderate incomes.
He described this class as being
IN the greatest need of housing
aid. He said they were in a mo
mans land" having incomes too
high to make them eligible for
public housing and too small to
meet the costs of privately built
dwellings.
Senator Sparkman is chairman
OF the housing subcommittee of
the Senate Banking Sommittee
In the past session, the committee
proposed bill to aid in develop
ment Of cooperative housing, but
this called only for Government
loans. Senator Sparkman said
amendments might be offered
which would provide for co-op-
erative housing under a Joint
participation in the financing by
both Government and private
lenders.
He spoke enthusiastically Of a
plan being successfully used in
Sweden. The Alabaman made no
f1nal commitment as to specific
details on new legislative pro-
posals. but said he favored some
kind OF joint participation with
private loans to carry interest
OF no more than 3 per cent.
The bill proposed to the Senate
ne said. provided only for Gov
eminent financing because it had
been felt that private lenders
would not be interested in max
ing 3 per cent loans. AS a re-
suit OF studies of Scandinavian
programs, however. he said he
could see no reason why private
loans OF 3 per cent would not be
possible.
He was accompneid on tours
through Norway, Sweden, Dem
marx and Holland, and in Lon
don by Senator's Bricker, Repub-
ilcan, OF Ohio: Flanders, Repub-
llcan, OF Vermont, and Frear
Democrat. of Delaware.
Senator Bricker had been op-
posed to the bill for Government
nnanced cooperative housing
Senator Sparkman said the Ohio
senator seemed impressed with
the way Sweden had worked out
PUBLIC and private joint participa-
tion IN such housing financing.

that of the previous week, although
In some regions it increased frac-
tionally," the survey showed.
"Sales volume continued to be
moderately below the level for the
corresponding week in 1948. The
mild rises in some areas were
largely attributed to the seasonal
change to cooler weather.
Consumer interest in apparel
remained steady this week. 1t
was slightly below the level for
the similar period last year. The
demand for dresses was low, except
for promotional items. Other
women's wear was sold in increas-
ing quantities in many areas fol-
lowing a general temperature drop.
Heavy returns In many fall
items Cancelled out gains. The
interest in mems clothing rose
slightly. Topcoat sales were still
unseasonally small. An increased
amount of boys wear, apart from
suits, was sought"

tail volume was estimated at 7 to

centage changes by regions follow:
