Key West Receives
Big Financial Boost
From Truman Visits
By Joseph A. Fox
Sfor Stcff CORRESPONDENT

KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. %
President Truman has thus fa1
given no sign when he plans to
end the vacation he began here
November s, and if he decides to
stay here until Christmas, Key
West merchants will not be sorry
Shopkeepers in Americas far
thest south" city are frank to say
regardless of their personal opin-
ions of the Fair Deal, that the
President has meant more for the
local economy than Sailfishing or
sunny beaches. With the annual
visits he began five years ago,
tourist cash and Navy pay have
run in a cheerful stream into the
tills of Key West business.
Tradesmen second the opinion
Of Harold Laubsher. secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, that
the Presidents visits have given
Key West "a terrific shot in the
arm" The shot has helped every
thing from dime-store sales to
building construction.
Tourists Increasing.
Five years ago, when Mr.. Tru-
man spent his first vacation at
the Little White House on the
Navy base, he liked it. The base
was expanded and put on an op-
irrational basis and the steady flow
of sailors cash helps tide mer-
chants over outside the resort sea-
son.
Tourists have visited the town
In increasing numbers, ever since.
and builders have been hard put
to it to keep up with the demand
for new motels, shops and houses.
Construction has been increas-
ing in volume at the rate of about
81 million a year since the PreSi-
dent began his visits. The towns
present power plant is inadequate
for the demand, and work is un-
der way on new So million plant.
Population has jumped from 21,-
600 to $4,000 in the last decade.
Hotel Opening Early.
Max Marmonstein, owner of the
Cas- Marina Hotel, the swankieSt
in town, is opening Ms hostelry
three weeks early because of very
heavy" tourist demand, and j. D.
McAndrews, manager of the year.
round La Concha Hotel, says
business has risen steadily since
Mr.. Truman came to town.
AS far as Key West is con-
cerned the city's star visitor can
stay through Christmas if he's
willing to break a family tradition
and renounced his customary Yule
visit to independence, Mo-. and
that he isn't going to do.

Thursday. March IS. 1851
 JUNEAU, R-A bill removing the governor from the Board of Road Commissioners died in the Senate last night on an SIS vote.
 It was the second in a series of removal bills, recommended by Governor Gruening, which were defeated in the Senate after pass ing the House.
 The Senate also killed on an 8-8 vote small loans act propo- sal by the Alaska Bankers Asso- ciation. The act provided for 3% interest per month on loans under $400.
 Sen. w. L. OaD Lhamon R- Fairbanks) speaking for the meas ure, called it bill which would eliminate loan sharks" Sen. Frank Barr O-Fairbanks) coun- tered that it would make loan sharks out of banks" and Sen. Howard Lyng D-Nome) said it "smacks of usury."
 Marshall Crutcher, K o d a k banker and legislative chairman of the Bankers Association, told the Senators the small loans pact was based on standard state stat utes and said most banks were unwilling to make small loans for a short time because it was too much trouble and expense for a small return.
 Would Legalize Advance Interest
 The Senate passed 14-1 a com panion banking bill to legalize interest collections in advance on such contracts as car purchases where the interest for the year figured into monthly payments. The bill goes to the governor.
 Barr led off the debate on the bill-by Rep. Mike Stepovich R- Fairbanks) for removal of the governor from the Board of Road Commissioners with the conten- ton it wont improve the Board to put the attorney general on. We should leave the governor there" :"
 Sen. Steve McCutcheon D-An- chorage) suggested the Board might handle some federal funds in which case the governor should remain.
 Lyng denied any federal funds would be involved but suggested replacing the gov ernor on some boards with the Secretary of Alas ka. "I read in the papers he was out of the Territory for 6 months last year," Lyng said. "Why keep the governor on the boards if he is gone so much? He asked to get off. Why not put in the Secretary of Alaska who serves anyhow when the governor is gone?"
 Sen. John Butrovich R-Fair- banks), who said he was voting for the bill and did, argued 'it is only a stop-gap. The real solution is eliminating the hodge-podge of

Probers Raise Issue
OF Less Censorship

KnowIund and George
Question DeIetions in
Testimony at Hearing

Members of the Senate COM
mittees investigating the Mac
Arthur controversy made it clear
today they want less censorship
of testimony given in the closed
hearings.
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California raised the question
as Gen. Macarthur began his
third day in the witness chair.
The Senator pointed out that
some of Gen. MacArthur's testi-
mony regarding restrictions on
bombing within Korea itself had
been deleted, for security reasons,
from the transcript made avail
able to the press.
George Raises Similar Question.
"I personally do not see why
that information should not be
made available" the Californian
added.
Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia, another committee mem
ber, raised a similar question. He
pointed out that some of the Mac
Arthur testimony relating to q
particular concentration point
within Korea, but near the Soviet
border, had been cut out by the
censors.
"I heard that testimony and
was surprised at the deletion, "
Senator George said, in the hear
ing.
Two Named to Study Deletions.
Senators Knowland and Nc
IMahon, Democrat. of Connecti-
cut have been designated by
Chairman Russell as a subcom-
mittee to review the matters de-
Ileted from the transcript for Sc
curity reasons.
Senator Russell asked them to
confer with the censors to see il
the material could not be re-
leased. He AIDED that if it could
not be worked out in that way
the full committee would be asked
to vote on releasing the informa-
ton.

Dissenting Judge Calls
Rape Case Reversal
Shocking Decision
Clark Criticizes Granting
Of New Trial to Tutum
On Charges of Girl, 9

The United States Court of
Appeals today reversed District
Court rape conviction in a decision
which a dissenting jurist called
"the most shocking that has en-
anated from this court"
BY a 2-to-1 count, the appellate
bench sent back for re-trial the
case in which Ernest Tatum, %,
colored, of the 500 block of Gull
linane court S.W., was convicted
of assaulting a 9-year- old colored
girl.
The majority decision was based
on grounds that the jury, which
recommended the death penalty,
had not been instructed by Trial
Judge Alexander Holtzoff on the
essential issue" of Tatum' s
sanity.
In a scathing dissent, Judge
Bennett Champ Clark said:
"In my opinion this is a truly
shocking decision, the most shock
ing that has emanated from this
court and ranking among the
most shocking judicial decisions.
Recalls Missouri Decision.
"It is one step below the famous
decree of the Supreme Court of
Missouri, many years ago, when
it reversed outright a first degree
murder case on the ground that
the grand jury had inadvertently
left out the word the in the in
dictment."
Judge Clark said the defendant
had not offered "a scintilla of evi-
dence in his own defense except
to say that he could not remember
what had occurred"
. Here at a time when the wave
of sex crimes has reached such
an alarming extent that Congress,
the bar, the prosecuting officials,
the public and the press have been
aroused as never before to the
necessity of stamping it out, it
remains for the highest court of
this jurisdiction to f1out the neces-
|sity for reform by reversing this
case on a technicality so f1imsy
and unsound that it had to be
evolved out of the inner conscious
ness of a member of the ma
jority"
Issue in Testimony,
The majority opinion, written by
Judge David L. Bazelon and con-
CURED in by Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman, observed that Tatum's
entire defense rested on his in
sistence that he had been drinking
and remembered nothing.
The question of insanity was
raised by two Government psy-
chiatrists who testified Tatum was
of sound mind on July 20, 1949,

Under cover of artillery fire
the Syrians repeatedly tried to
remove the bodies of their fallen
soldiers in the demilitarized buffer
zone between the two countries
Israelis here say the Syrians were
trying to remove evidence that
Syrian regular troops were in

have fought back with rifle fire.

were killed and three wounded.
