Warren Grants
New Reprieve
To Publisher

TALLAHASSEE Up - Reubin
Clein, Miami weekly newspaper
publisher, has been granted an
other reprieve by Gov. Warren
from a 30-day Jail sentence i'm
posed in February, 1850.
The new tay, signed Saturday,
runs for 50 days and will keep
Clein out of Jail at least until Dec.
81. Most of the other reprieves
have been for so days. A 60-day
stay this time would have made
it expire the day Dan McCarty
succeeds Warren as governor.
The 50-day reprieve, expiring
Dec. 27, would permit Warren to
grant Clein another running into
McCarty's administration.
1t was the 10th reprieve granted
Clein since his conviction on a
contempt of court charge. He was
charged with refusing TO disclose
the source of a story he published
which dealt with legally secret
proceedings of a Dade County
grand jury.
Clein. staunch supporter of the
Warren adm inistratiOn, has an ap-
plication for pardon pending be-
fore the State Pardon Board
which includes the governor and
four other cabinet members.

GOURMETS CORNER

The concenSus of opinion among
the Duval Street political Sages
seems to be that the incoming Re-
publican administration will bring
with them a general belt tighten
ing. We heard a cab driver exclaim
the other day that "It'll be 'grits
and gruntS' for US pretty SOON"
Hence, for the benefit of those
who do not care for "grits and
grunts" we hereby offer an al
ternate and equally economical
dish. Our friend Bias Sanchez
volunteered the information that
the lowly squid or cutie fish"
which is found in Key West
waters, heretofore considered by
outlanders as purely fish bait, is
not only edible but a gourmet's
delight.
We asked him how to prepare
the darned things and he told US
that the secret is to simmer them
in their own ink"
ITO cook squid" Sanchez said
you first remove the legs and
cut them into small pieces. Then
the head should be taken off and
the small ink sacs removed. The
squid should then be skinned
washed thoroughly and sliced
into half inch strips"
You then take the whole mess

Philadelphia. The historic old
church which President George

ence attended. including Ben

commemorating the signing Of
the Magma Carta, and, in case
you're rusty on your history,
yesterday was the 737th ami
versary of the signing (June Is.
1215) of that document. The
Philadelphians wanted to hear
an Engiishman discourse on the
subject and they got q distin-
guished one.
Sir William was particularly
intrigued to hear that the church
was founded in 1895 by two
carpenters, two sea captains.
two doctors, one dyer, one baker.
two merchants, a Judge OF the
adn'ralty, an attorney gen.
eral and-two pirates! They
probably contributed the most
money.
Steve Dorsey was very famil-
lar with this particular church.
It is covered in his book, EARLY
English Churches in America"
which the oxford University
Press will publish on September
Is. He added the information
that this was the first church
to strike from the liturgy
prayers for the King Of England
in favor Of prayers for those IN

It also rang its bells in unison
with the Liberty Bell on July 4,
