Complaints Reported.
He is yet to reply to a state
ment made by Commissioner John
Russell Young yesterday. The
Commissioner quoted Police Chief
Robert J. Barrett as saying COM
plants had been made by Capt.
Richitt's superiors that he failed
to carry out his duties and had
a disrespectful attitude toward
his superior officers.
Top police officers were openly
hopeful that Capt. Richitt, popu-
lar veteran policeman, would take
his transfer without fighting back.
Commissioner Young did not
reveal the specific complaints
against Capt. Richitt. However.
1t was thought that one complaint
centered on Capt. Richitt's alleged
reluctance to carry out what he
considered secondhand verbal
orders from his chief.
Denies One Rumored Incident.
At the eighth precinct today.
Capt. Richitt fatty denied a ru-
mored incident at a party at which
he and Maj. Barrett repeatedly
exchanged heated words.
The captain also denied that he
has any plans to resign or to carry
his counter-complaints to the
House District subcommittee in
vestigating crime.
Asked specifically if he were go
ing to appear before the subcom-
mittee in the near future. he re-
piled, ''Not that I know Of"
Capt. Richitt reported at 7 am.
at the eighth precinct. He
promptly pinned on the No. 8
insignia left for him by Capt.
John Fondahl. who goes to head
quarters in the four officer
transfer.
Attend Roll Call Together.
Capt. Fondahl, wearing civilian
clothes for his new assignment,
Joined Capt. Richitt at the pre-
cinct house and the two started
going over the administrative de-
tails of the precinct. Together.
they attended the morning roll
call at the precinct station.
Lying on Capt. Richitt's desk as
he talked to reporters was the in
sigma of the third precinct. This
precinct, sought after by police
captains because the White House
lies within its borders, now will be
commanded by Capt. Charles
Sullivan.
Replacing Capt. Sullivan at the
second precinct, which he COM
manded, is 1t. Albert B. Clark of
the 18th precinct. who was ap-
pointed a temporary captain.
OF the four officers involved in
the shift, all but 1t. Clark figured
in a short-lived shakeup last,
Thursday. Transfer orders were
issued and rescinded a few hours
later. Under the other transfer
orders, however, Capt. Fondahl
would have gone to the Second
Precinct.

TO DEBATE FOREIGN ISSUES

There are several policies involved IN
the foreign relations of the United States
which will come under severe attack IN
the present session of Congress. Even the
highly-praised bipartisan support OF Amer
lean action in international fields VIII De
tested by the reluctance OF some me ms. ksfpuDll-
cans to continue non-partisansaforelg
policy.
Involved in the discussion Will be the
amount of money to be provided 70 I'M
plement the Marshall Plan. That there
will be a reduction from the present SS'-
800. O0O, 900 ALLEGATION is to be expected
but the extent of the cut is to De deter
mined by the Congress itself
There is also involved the necessity OF
providing funds to carry forward the
military assistance program for the Nortn
Atlantic Treaty countries. Here, again,
there is a question as to the amount OF
money which this country should expend
for the purpose.
Also involved is the augmentation OF
the Presidents suggestion that we assist
in helping the worlds economically
backward areas The present proposal
is that we finance the work 81 EXPERTS and
specialists in the effort to help the back
ward peoples to improve their economic
outlook. stsss
The question of spending dollars for
the improvement of other areas, whether
through the Marshall Plan, the military
assistance program or the aid to back
ward regions, runs into the strong drive
for economy Whether this be the result
of desire on the part of Congressman to
avoid increased taxation to balance the
budget or to cut expenditures, the net
result will be the same. One thing is GER
tain, however This is that the foreign
policy of the United States and much of
our influence among the nations of the
world depend upon the willingness of
the people of this country to continue a
program of financial assistance to other
peoples.

SHOULD WE DEFEND FoRMosA?

The defense of Formosa, the island
stronghold off the coast of China, still in
the hands of the Nationalist, depends
upon the willingness of the United States
to send some help to Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek or the strength of the forces that
we are willing to use for the purpose.
There is much talk about the value of
Formosa to the United States in the event
of trouble in the Far East but it is rather
difficult to believe that the island, as close
as it is to the Chinese mainland, can be-
come bastion that we can defend from
attack.
The case of China constitutes prob
lem for our. government which, some
months ago, had to decide whether it
would bolster the Nationalist armies with
American forces or let nature take it's
course in the Chinese civil war. The latter
course left the defense of the Nationalist
regime to its own fighting men who prov
ed insufficient for the job. How far the
United States would have had to extend
itself to reverse the course of events in
China is uncertain but there is little in
dication that public opinion in this country
would have supported armed intervention
in China

WHAT EXPLAINS SUCCESS?

An idea seems to be spreading
throughout the land that men and women
achieve success through the operation of
government rather than by their own pas
tient persistence in honest endeayor.
The reader of The Key West Citizen,
especially young men and women, should
not be misled in this respect. They should
realize that worthwhile success in life is
achieved almost exclusively through per-
sonal endeavor
After all is said and done, the vast ma
jority of business successes owe their
growth to one or more rare individuals
who give to the enterprise a contribution
that includes, not only physical effort,
but superior intelligence and the wisdom
that arises from the intangible thing that
we call character"

Valse saw the look which came

There was sheer anazement on

changing under an onslaught OF

BRITISH REQUEST ATOM BOMBS

The creation of new United States
Brtish-Canadian partnership on the pro-
duetion of atomic weapons has been pro-
p0sed by the British Government, which
feels that since British scientists are on
the point of producing plutonium-an es-
sential ingredient of the atomic bomb, the
British Government cannot permanently
agree not to develop the destructive wea-
bon and thus put its security in the hands
Of another country.
1.-THE British proposed, according to
press dispatches, that they will agree not
~4o- produce atomic bombs although con-
tinuing explorations into the development
Of new weapons and that British scientists
would grant to the United States all in
formation they acquire that might be use
fail in promoting unified atomic weapons.
This is subject, however, to the mutual ex-
.-Ehange of such information and to the
=. further condition that an unspecified num-
- Der Of bombs, made in the United States,
be stored in the United Kingdom.
= The British originally intended to pro-
=. coed with their plans to manufacture at
..amic bombs and weapons but now believe
that with Russia able to produce atomic
explosions, faster progress can be made if
scientific information is pooled and manu-
featuring of bombs is concentrated in one
place Their suggestion that a certain
number or bombs be stored in the British
Isles formerly met with some objection in
the United States but some emphasis is
now being placed upon the tactical pos
sibiities of atomic weapons in support of
ground troops and it is believed that all
atomic bombs should not be as far away as
the United States and Canada.
Before the United States can enter in
to an atomic pact with the British how
ever. Congressional action will be neces-
sary Under present laws, an exchange of
information about the use of atomic energy
for industrial purposes is prohibited and
data concerning the manufacture or utiliz-
aiion of atomic weapons and the produc-
uan Of fashionable material are regarded
Is restricted.
II is perfectly natural for the British
Government to feel that it cannot stand
dds bv while other nations amass stock
pile 81 atomic bombs.
The significant feature of the ex-
change, however, is the apparent willing
ness Of the three English-speaking nations

taction Of the worlds most destructive
weapon Such cooperation, when con-
sammated. vii demonstrat to the world
the close ties which bind the three eoun-
tries together, forming partnership that
Is stronger than one set up by treaty.
