Swimming Pool
Deed May Go
State Internal
Improvement Fund
Board Member Tells
How To Go About Il

The Business and Professional
Women's Club of Key West in
paving the way for the city to
acquire deeds to the area known
as the swimming Pool off Roose-
welt boulevard.
In a letter to Mrs. Mary Lee
Graham, president of the BPW
organization, Sinclair Wells of
the State Internal Revenue Com
mission assures Mrs. Graham that
upon receipt of an application of
City Attorney Ingatius Lester,
relative of the city acquiring the
swimming pool area, the property
would be decided to the city for
public purposes only.
/, Suggestion was made by Wells
that in applying for the property
the city include in its application
small additional area so that the
actual swimming pool area may
be protected.
The Wells letter has been turn
ed over to Lester.
Mrs. Graham points out that
the BPW will be solely RESPONSE
bic if the city gained possession of
the swimming pool property if the
trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Commission deed it to Key
West.
Several months ago when the
Club, at the suggestion of Miss
Gertrude Laubscher, adopted the
Swimming Pool Rehabilitation"
as their major project of the year,
Mrs. Graham and Miss Laubs-
cher began getting in the ground
work for it by contracting the
necessary State heads. Joseph
Carleton, Division Engineer from
the State Road Department was
sent to contact the committee, and
recommendations were sent in,
resulting in an o. X. from State
Road Department.
In the meantime the City Com
missioners were in correspon-
dence with Internal Improve
ment as to legal owners of bay
bottom lands adjacent to the
Boulevard. Word was received
several weeks ago that l. l. claim
ed rights. Public use of areas in
question had to be shown.
Mrs. Graham wasted no time in
writing to Sinclair Wells and
pointed out to him that, that par
ticular section would be- decided
to the city as her Club here was
planning repairs to the pool that
standing as it was now, was of no
value to anyone but with little
improvement the club would
have something to give to the
public users of Key West.

party at County Beach Saturday

Volcanic Island
Crows Larger

AUCKLAND, New Zealand
AP)-Seen and unseen volcanoes
play strange tricks in the South
Pacific. The latest stunt doubled
the size of Matthew Island. tiny
spot on the Pacific 200 miles east
of New Cledonia.
The change in Matthew Island
was found by the New Zealand
naval frigate Pukaki. Until re-
Gently, Matthew Island was 80
acres of land with a single vol
canic peak. Now it has a second
volcanic peak, 500 feet high, be-
side the first. 1t is 1900 yards long
today and 800 yards across the
widest spot.
The sides fall steeply to the sea.
Crew of the Pukaki saw wisps
of steam and smoke coming up
from the rock, but there was no
sign of volcanic action from the
new peak. Matthew Island was
discovered in 1898. No people live
there, but countless sea birds
make their homes on the island.

British Papers About.
Conditions Between
Russia, Yllgoslayia

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The war
of words between Belgrade and
Moscow has become so heated,
some British papers said today
that it may possibly lead to hos
tilities in the field.
In reply to one of Moscow YER
bal onslaughts, the Tito govern
ment said that Yugoslavia had
been double-crossed by Russia,
and replying to the Kremlin's
protest against the arrest of Rus
slams in Tito's domain, Belgrade
retorted that the only Russians
arrested were spies and Saboteurs.
Back and forth charges were
made today by Belgrade and Mos
COW radios. The dispute between
the two countries is so tense, any
untoWard act may lead to war,
several newspapers here said.

When you right down to it, Congress is to blame
for the coal and steel strikes If Congress had lived up to
campaign promises by both parties there would have been
passed long adequate social security law and the pen
sion issue would never have between unions and the
coal and steel corporations.
The record of Congress since passage of the social security
law 1885 has been disgracefu and shame civilized
nation which has regard for the nations greatest
of weah-its human AS passed the law pro-
Vded for small progressive increases in the rate of deduc
ons to 3 percent by both employees and employers In
stead the rate of increase has been frozen at percent for
the last 10 years.
Not content with preventing improvement in social
cuI1ty, reactonay congressman up with slick trick
to actually undermine the social security law itself An old
whereby old people who paid nothing intothe fund got high
benefits than those who paid percent of their earnings
into social security When unions began to press for private

Know why?
It's because of passage of the wagehour law which rails

which the House has passed and which will be brought

increasing the second class postal rates.
