King Can't Get
In Harpey's Hair

The very able City Com
missioner c. B. Harvey had
the tables turned on him
last night by City Manager
Dave King.
Harvey was complaining
quite strongly about condi-
lions existing at the city
dump.
He told King that the
place was unsanitarY and
wanted some immediate ac-
tion.
The manager narrated all
the problems that he had en-
countered. And he asked that
decision be reserved until his
workers were able to GO out
another $50 feet.
Said Harvey. in conclusion.
You better hurry up and get
across the $50 feet. because l
am going to stay in your
hair until then"
Kings reply was: Sorry. /

Bunk Assures City
Immediate Loon o.
$62.500; Prepared
For Court Test

What has the City been
doing to retain Meacham
airport in Key West?
Last night the public got
the full answer.
The City of Key West
through the efforts Of City
Manager Dave King is fully
prepared for the ensuing
court battle with the Key
West Improvement COM
pany.
Land that the City wants is as
Scsscd for $4,000. One of the ar
gumcnts brought against the City
was that this governing body did
not have the funds to pay jury
directed verdict.
That argument can no longer
be used if 1t ever could. In the
first place. the City has over
$500, 900 in cash.
But they need touch none Of
these funds FER King revealed
the following:
A bank has assured the City
they will loan the money esq.,,
500.
The CAA has allocatcd SCI, 500
as the United States Govern
mcnt's share.
In addition to these funds, pri-
vatc parties have assured loans
.totalling $4,000.
City Manager Dave King be-
licvcs these private commit
ments viii not be necessary now
that the CAA has in writing allo-
Gated tho funds, and bank has
assured the City of immediate 81
nanccs.
Said King at the conclusion of
his announcement: I'VE have not
been asleep at the switch
For a long time it was feared
the City would have TO put up Tie
CAA's share end at a later date
be reimbursed. But the commit
mcnt now eliminates that worry.

DISAPPOINTING FARM REPORT
1851 Crop Paintings Called Inadequate

A recent report by the agriculture
department indicated that farmers
were not planning to plant enough
crops in 1861 to maintain present
levels Of food supplies. The report
raised the question whether the
country is not taking too much for
granted about our food production
and the possibility of future food
shortages. particularly Of meat.
On the whole farm prices are
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1951-04-27

good enough to encourage larger
crops. Government crop reporters
who made the department survey
came up with two explanations for
reduced paintings: ~ A farm
labor shortage and (2) a reluctance
to pillow up land which, at govern
ment urging. had been returned to
grass.
The outlook carries the threat Of
rigid rationing by next year.

on which the Main Street of America d.

careful attention must be given to
changing the farm-price provisions of
the Defense Production Act "in such a
way as to accomplish a greater degree
of stability in food prices and at the
same time treat farmers equitably in
relation to the other elements of the
economy"
As for present price controls, he said:

STRAW Hat
Runs utC.U
ForuWeek

Exactly 100 years after it first
saw the light of stage, Eugene
Marin LaBiche's farce, "The
Straw Hat" is being staged at
Catholic University as part of the
speech and drama department. S
summer season.
It opened last night and will
run through Saturday night at
the University Theater.
Frank Ford, who wrote King
dom of the Blind" is the man
who has been assigned the task
+of directing 1.-THE Straw Hat" and
of bringing order out of its far
|cical plots. These involve, among
other things. a pair Of young low
ers to whom the straw hat has
some significance and a horse,
to which the hat has significance
as a meal.
Yvonne Clifford, Mary Ellen
Fitzgerald, John McIvor, Louis
Camuti and Tony Prochilo play
leading roles in 1.-THE Straw Hat
in and around seven novel set
tings devised by Jim Waring.
1.-THE Straw Hat" incidentally
was originally "The Italian Straw
Hat" before it was denaturalized
at c. U. and Rene Clair, the
French film master, once made
a picture based on it.

calls simply for a modest spot OF
human understanding.
AS a Swiss neutral, Wechsler's
picture attempts to look dispas-
sionately at it's five central figures.
Its leaning is toward the three
westerners in the police jeep, but
the Russian is not painted so black
that he is not allowed to match
the others in at least one act of
generosity-in his case a danger
GUS one.
It is one of the assets of -Four
in a Jeep" that it undertakes to
tell a melodramatic story in the
calmest tones possible. It is made
the films business to examine hui
man tensions and the attitudes
behind them. In the main, this
is handled effectively although not
always with the clarity for which
Wechsler is obviously aiming.
There is an almost excessive
simplicity in the acting of the prin-
cipal players in the Trans-Lux
film, yet in general. it makes
Wechsler's points sharply enough
to suggest that Vienna is one of
the most dramatic spots in the
neurotic world we all still live in,
