On November 18th a terrible bliz-

town for twenty-five days. And at
this date the schedules have not
returned to normal. Service is in

LISA Civilians,

More Than Year Ago,
EmFIoycsl IN Navy

Z
The full meaning Of what the
U. S. Navy means to Key West
was found today in an announce
ment of the public information
officer OF Key West Naval Base
that as of March | there were a
total of 6,581 officers and men
with 1914 dependents here.
In addition TO the number of
Navy men and their dependents
in Key West: there was a total
of 1854 civilian employees, an
increase of about 800 over what
the figure was a year ago.
Figuring about three depend
ents for each civilian employee
it would mean there are a total
of 4.062 persons in Key West de-
pending on the Navy, in addition
10 the l0,495 officers. enlisted
men and dependents of the Navy,
On January |. there were 6,347
officers and enlisted men and 81
329 dependents, while in Febru-
airy l the figures were 5952 and
1888.
The Chamber of Commerce es-
Inmates approximately $4,000 per-
sons, including Navy personnel,
living in Key West; so that the
persons depending on the U. S.
Navy is well over half of the
total population figure.

Delegates Arriving To Sign
North Atlantic Agreement
IN Washington Next Monday
ion in the United Nations &C

ton in the United Nations ac-
cords.
With Bevin were delegates
from France. the Netherlands and
Luxembourgh. Each expressed
the opinion that the alliance is
a definite assurance of the peace
Of the world. The Luxembourgh
delegate asserted that the pact
protects smaller nations that
would be an easy prey to large
nation bent on aggression. He
added that Luxembourgh. among
the first five nations to agree to
enter into the alliance, has real
lied, from the. time of the first
announcement that such pact
would be formed, that il would
rebound to her protection in d
greater measure than any other
political or economic alignment.
The Queen Mary had been
berthed only a short time when
a message was received by the
Department of State that Portti-
gal had formally agreed 10 join
the alliance. Its delegate is now

Battle On In Senate
10 Cut Down Amount OF
Money For Marshall Plan
Senator George,
Democrat OF Georgia,
To Join Republicans
In Amending Bill
.ny The Associated press,

WASHINGTON, March 81
The bill designed to extend the
Marshall Plan, for Is months
from next June 30, is not likely
TO pass the senate without much
scuffing
That was the outlook today
when Senator Walter George,
Democrat of Georgia, asserted
that be would join with Senator
Taft and other Republicans in
their efforts to have the measure
amended in several particulars.
Senator George said nothing
about the proposal to reduce the
50 billion, $3.50 million specified
for the Is months the plan will
operate further, but Taft and
fellow Republicans, with the
possible exception of Senator
Vandenberg, will fight to have
the amount reduced considerably.
= Most of the Republican sena-
tors think the cut should be at
least 81 billion, but a few favor
the reduction by as much as two
to three billion dollars.
As a result of the Republican
discussion of the Marshall Plan
bill, Senator Scott Lucas, admin
istration leader, said some Re-
publican senators were evincing
indications of strong leanings
toward isolation. He added that,
because Of that attitude, at least
three OF the senators will be de-
feated when they come up for
reelection next year One OF
them, @he asserted, will be Sena-
tor Taft.
