By the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 11.-Diplomatic
officials reported today an Ameri-

whether Sweden might now be
ready to join the Atlantic pact.

reaction so far has been negative,
the officials said.
There was no immediate con-
firmation of the report from other
sources, The informants asked
not to be identified even by ma
tionality.
They declared a tentative and
informal approach was made in
Washington some time in the past
month. They did not say exactly
who made the movie. 1t was pre-
sumably directed to the Swedish
embassy.
The informants expressed the
view a more formal American ap-
proach to Sweden to reconsider
her decision to stay out of the r.
nation grouping might still be
made
The informants said the latest
American trial balloon in Wash
ington was aimed at establishing
whether Sweden would be willing
to join the Scandinavian wing OF
the Atlantic pact. The American
argument was said to be that
membership in that wing would
amount to membership in purely
Scandinavian alliance.
Sweden's answer was said to be
no. because such membership
would mean coming into the At

GAMBLING

There have been quite a lot said the air and in
daily papers about gambling in Miami and Miami
Beach
The exposure by the Crime Commission and news
papers has brought about very definite results The courts
too have been nfctng heavy fines and sentencing
victed persons to imprisonment.
These facts have closed down many places and sent
others into hiding.
At Miami Beach the recently elected city council
to be Cleaning house, and the lid has been placed
upon bookies. This demand made by the Miami
Beach Hotel Association The council has called upon the
police authorities for full enforcement of all laws.
The popular bota to be losing out at any rate
people not handling boa tickets commonly they
did. That, if no more, is something accomplished.
The authorities might not be able to prevent illegal
gambling altogether but they keep pretty well
der and if they do this it will be at least
thing and helpful to many people in community.

FATHERS DAY

Tomorrow, Sunday, June 10, the
third Sunday in June is Fathers
Day. Fathers Day, much unlike
Mothers Day, is not as enthusiast
cally observed by many people as it
should be and as Mither's Day is re
membered. That condition should
never be true, for just as important
in the life of child as it's mother,
is its father At times it appears
that father is ever more important
Fathers Day should be very keen
ly observed by everyone, whether
his father is still alive or not. Those
of us who are fortunate enough to
have our fathers living, should make
him feel happy on this day, by rem
dering to him some special token IN
appreciation of the many things
which he has done for us. Fathers
are just as human as mothers, and
would appreciated being remerber-
ed just as much. So make it a
point to make father happy on this
Fathers Day and on every Fathers
Day in the years to come.

DADE COUNTY DECONTROLLED

After many long and hard months
of battle to keep rents down, the
tenants of Dade County finally
lost the fight and as result, Dade

This is most serious matter, one
that should command the attention

county.
Governor Warren did not sign the
bill to decontrol Dade County he
let the measure become law without

measure" brought up by the Dade
County delegation in the state legis-

have ended rent controls i'm practi.
cally all of Florida.
The tenants will soon be placed
at the mercy of the landlords. When
the controls are lifted, they will have
to pay the landlords price of get
out - and there is no place to move.
The situation is most grave one
and at this stage of the game every
one is wondering just what is going
to happen.
According to reports from reliable
sources, some unreasonable land
lords have already begun to increase
rents even though decontrol is not
effective until August Is. That's only
one example of what can be expect
ed when it becomes effective. More
