The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1950-01-18

We took our first trip to the
Keys in some time, last weekend,
and it is really amazing the pro-
gress this section has made in the
last few years. Talk about your
charter fishing boats, in any sec
ton it is possible for a boat to
anchor, you can see them laying
at the docks.
It may very well be that on
other trips we have missed the
boats for the simple reason that
the weather in the past has been
ideal for fishing trips, or that we
went up the Keys early in the
morning, but our trip last week
was made in the afternoon.
The Key area is in the past
has been termed, Americas last
frontier" but Tavernier, Islamo-
rada, and Marathon, today are no
longer frontier towns, but thriv-
ing little communities.
Just A Suggestion
The appearance of the charter
boat docks could be greatly en-
HANGED if the boatmen would set
tie on one color for painting the
docks. Some of them are gray,
some blue, some brown, while
others have not yet been painted
One color scheme would make
the area much more attractive.
And while we are on the sub
ject, the water around the docks
is Uttered with oil cans and other
trash, that is beginning to present
J an unsightly appearance. The
| gulls and pelicans will take care
of any fish thrown overheard, the
cans can be disposed of at sea.
AS / said it's just a suggestion.

may have been used by bandits
escaping after the Fruit Growers

bandits for their getaway. In fact,
they are not certain how the trio
did elude the police Gordon thrown
around the building housing the
express company at 1101 Vermont
avenue NV.
This chain of incidents. however,

Witness Attacked as Jew

HAMBURG, Germany. April a.
"A crwod of about 100 Germans
today set upon and tried to beat
a woman witness who testified at
the trial here of Veit Harlan, Ger
man film producer. Persons in the
crowd called her "a Jewish pig"
Only Intervention by the prose-

saved her from angry fists. 1t
was necessary to summon a police
squad to disperse the Germans,
who had come at the witness with
raised fists and cries of you jew
ish pig-what are you doing here
in Germany. We don't want you
here. Go away"
Harlan is the producer of the
wartime anti-Semitic film Jew
Suess." He is being tried on
charges of crimes against human
ity and supporting anti-Semitic
propaganda. He was acquitted on
identical charges last year but a

who got jobs in the Post once
Department after the war has
been watered-down considerably
by the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee.
The House measure would al
low any veteran who entered the
Post once Department between
the end Of the war and July !,
1850. to get the pay boosts. But
the Senate committee set July l,
l947. as the final date. In other
words. veterans hired by the Post
ONCE Department after July !
l947. would not qualify for the pay
boosts under the Senate commit
tees measure.
The issue probably will have to
be thrashed out in conference. but
it appears the Senate group will
have its way.
Also. 1t puts a severe crimp in
the plans of regular Federal en-
ploye groups to have Congress en-
act similar legislation for other
eligible veterans in the Federal
service.
APPRENTICESHIP another ac-
tion. the Senate Civil Service
Committee has followed the lead
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee in approving a bill to limit
all apprentice jobs in Government
to veterans.
The Senate group took action
without even holding hearings on
the bill. which has raised storm
of controversy. AS originally draft
ed. the bill was designed to force
the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing to give the exam for
apprentice plate printer jobs to
all veterans who applied. rather
than to limit it to Bureau veterans
The House committee amended
the bill. however. to provide that
all apprentice jobs in Government
be limited to veterans. Some Of
f1cials in the military and scien-
tific agencies question the wisdom
of the measure. declaring that
veterans won't be able to fill all
the vacancies.
