lease on life with the Marshall
Plan commitments of 1947-48.
The difference is that on the
two previous occasions American
officials believed that If they used
United States dollars to buy time
and reconstruction Britain would
do the rest.
They believe now that American
dollars will no longer solve the
problem, that only radical actions
by the British, revising their cur
rency valuation and their whole
industrial structure and foreign
commitments, will offer any hope
of a permanently healthy British
economy.
Britain's proposals in the talks
coming up here are expected to
shy away from devaluation unless
they are accompanied by some
promises for action by the United
States and possibly other nations.
Here are some of the things the
British are thinking about:
/. The possibility Of an upward
revision in the price paid by the
United States for gold-now $35
an ounce. The United States owns
more than $4,000, 100000 worth
of gold-about two-thirds of the
worlds monetary supply. Com
modify prices have risen sharply
since this price was set years ago
and the British figure that If the
United States would jack the price

FIGURE in B.36 Probe

A picture of Washington taken
with a new-type camera installed
in a Navy Banshee fighter plane at
an altitude of 1886 feet may
figure prominently in the House
Armed Services Committees in
vestigation of the B-36 bomber
which resumes tomorrow.
The twin-jet fighter reached a
height of $4,000 feet in a special
fight last week. The Air Force
has maintained that Its contro-
versial B-36, which flies at alti-
tudes of 10000 feet and above,
could not be knocked down by q
fighter plane. but some Navy
spokesmen have maintained that
the Banshee could accomplish IT..
While Defense Department ofn-
cials refused comment on the
Banshee fight other than to con-
firm it, it was believed that the
data obtained would be laid before
the House committee.
The Banshee's altitude was the
highest reported for any United
States jet plane. either Navy or
Air Force. The British Jet YAM
pire fighter has been reported to
have reached an altitude OF 59,-
900 feet.

Deepen the Blight rsra
Improve the Land
When the City Fathers. get
around to the problem Of deep
ening the Blight, one thought
they might keep in mind the
property on the other side of the
Boulevard.
It might be possible to work
out some arrangement with the
property owners in this section
to fill in and improve the proper
Ety from the dredging done in the
Blight area. This wouId not only
eliminate the brackish water but
would also improve the land, and
who knows, someone might even
build on it.
The Blight has to Be deepened
before it can be made available
for yachts to use. as a basin, and
the city commissioners could very
well kill two birds with one
stone.p ~

Crawfish, one of the most de-
lectable seafoods sought by Flori-
gourmets, was found to fall in the
same category as the other food
fish investigated. Quoting from
the same report, 1.-THE present
weight restriction is difficult to
enforce, land it is urged that the
size limit be enforced to the ut
most possible extent, in order
that the industry may be main
tanned at high productive level
Sponges Investigated
The report revealed that the
maximum of $4,000 pounds of
sponge for the year 1886 has
has dropped to the alarming low
of less than 100000 pounds at
present. Losses have been caused
by failure to conserve the re-
manning sponges by appropriate
regulation and enforcement of
size restrictions. It was recon-
mended that the six inch limit
for wool sporges besimposed and
strictly enforced.
Florida Commercial Fisheries
Association Concerned
In resolution drawn last
January, the Florida Commercial
Fisheries Association, stated that
unless proper laws and regula-
tions are made and enforced the
industry stands to lose a half
million dollars, and further stated
that the industry lost the sum of
$l50,0O0.00 lin one week, and
further that on that date. in

Pounds of mullet fish for which
there was no market, due to

u. S. Department of Interior had
been cooperating.
Salt Water Commission Needed
From the above it would ap-
pear that a Salt Water Commits
sion is essential if Florida's Fish
ing Industry is to be preserved.
We know that Key West at one
time was one of the leading fish

Florida. We know, too, that crab

|Ex-PoIice Chief Held
In Postal Fraud Case

jeremiah M. Rapillo. 4S, former
police chief of Berlin Md, yes
terday was held by United States
Commissioner Stanley A. King
for action of the grand jury on
two charges of violating postal
regulations.
He is charged with using the
mails to defraud. and with using a
f1cticious name in soliciting busi-
ness through the mails.
Postal Inspector John j. Bell
testified that his department had
received number Of complaints
from persons who said they failed
to receive cigarettes they ordered
from Jerry's Tobacco Co., 819
King street, Alexandria.
The charges are based on a
complaint of Watson Freeman
OF Clifton. N. j.. who testified he
saw an advertisement In a New
York newspaper offering cigarettes
for sale at reduced rate. He
said he mailed a money order for
$20.58 to Jerry's Tobacco Co., on
March "A asking that he be sent
IA cartons of cigarettes, but has
not received them.
Attorney T. Brooke Howard,
who represented Rapillo. said the
money order was indorsed by
Jerry's Tobacco Co.. and there
was no evidence to show that
Rapillo personally received the
money. He asserted that the
Government had failed to show
that Jerry's Tobacco Co. was q
fictitious name and said Rapillo
had Virginia charter to operate
Jerry's Enterprises. Inc, which in
cluded the tobacco business.
Rappillo's bond was set at4
$1,000. Rapillo said he once was
known In New York as the
Patent Leather Kid Of the prize
ring.
