Vote In Favor
OF Dog Track

Captain Johnny West, presi-
dent of the Charter Boat Asso-
citation of Key West announced
today that his organization was
unanimously in favor of the pro-
posed dog track on Stock Island.
I'VE feel that having such a
track will be an asset to the COM
munity,' says Captain West.
The Charter Boat Association of
Miami has discovered that their
business is improved immensely
when the tracks in that area
open.
Moreover, other counties in
the state who now claim that
they are supporting small coun-
ties such as Monroe with their
race track receipts viii no long
er be able to substantiate their
statements"
"A percentage Of race track
money goes 10 build up our edu-
catlonal system and local
schools" continued the Charter
Boat Associations president.
Surely the people must realize
how important good schools are
to the community
The local Charter Boat Asso-
citation is composed of twenty
two captains who take parties
out on fishing or sightseeing
tours. They have been organized
for twenty-eiE Eht years and play
an important part in local af-
fairs Lefty" Reagan i Secre-
tary Of the organization.
One final point in favor Of

President OF
Lebanon Quits
Post Wed.

BEIRUT, Lebanon tR - Leban-
on's President, Bechara ell Khoury,
resigned early today and the
Army's commander, Gen. Fuad
Shenab, took over the presidential
functions pending election of a new
chief executive by Parliament.
Khoury'S resignation came after
a three-day general strike in Beirut
the capital, called by opposition
groups pressing for cleanup of
government corruption"
President Ell Khoury was the
first and thus the only Presi-
dent of Lebanon. He was elected
in 1913 after France ended its
League of Nations mandate over
the country and proclaimed its in
dependence. He was reelected for
Six-year-term in 1913.
Though an old-time patriot and
fighter for Lebanese independence,
Ell KhOury lost support in 194S
when he induced Parliament to
amend the Constitution to permit
his reelection. Since then, his once
vast popularity has faded under
charges of scandals and corruption
leveled against him and his family.
The general strike eliminated
lengthy opposition campaign,
spearheaded by Socialist leader
Kamal Jumblatt. to limit the Pres
ident's powers and institute cleo
tOral, social and economic re-
forms. Since June the Socialists
and other factions have demanded
openly that Ell Khoury go.
The Army coup in Egypt which
toppled King Farouk from his
throne in July produced wide
spread rumors that similar action
would be taken here. Opposition
leaders openly called for a coup
to unSeat corrupt" government
officials.
Amid the mounting opposition,
Premier Sami Solh on Sept. 9
failed to get a vote of confidence
from Parliament and resigned.
The climax came shortly after
ier-DeSignate Saeb Slam last
night gave up a futile four-day
attempt to form a coalition reform
Cabinet.
Yesterday, members of a nor
mally pro-El Khoury bloc in Par
lament announced they felt the
Presidents resignation was the
only possible solution to the crisis.
Later, a general meeting of all
opposition groups issued a COM
munisue that the general trike
would continue until the President
resigned and that all persons col
laborating with Ell Khoury would
be considered plotters against the
will of the people.
A delegation of opposition lead
ers also called on Gen. Shehab to
demand that the Army withhold
support from the President.

Government Moves
To DepOrt Pair

MIAMI R-The federal govern
ment moved Wednesday to revoke
American citizenship for Alfonso
(Big AD Polzz and Harry (Nig)
RoSen, two Of the nations under
world characters.
Complaints filed in Federal
Court by Assistant u. S. District
Attorney Ernest L. Duhaime said
both men perjured themselves on
their applications for naturalia-
ton.
The complaint said Polzz lied
under oath when he said in Cleve-
land in February, 1928, that he
had never been arrested or
charged with the violation of any
law. It charged that Polzz was
arrested in 1920 as a suspect in
four robberies. served a prison
term in 1926 for bootlegging and
was arrested again in 1927 as a
suspicious person.
Polizzi, a native of Italy, set

partner in the Thompson-P Polizzi

building firms in this area. He
has a palatial home in suburban
Coral Gables.

RoSen "well knew" when he took
the oath in New York in Septem

Lehman Scores
''McCartyism"

NEW YORK R-Sen. Herbert
H. Lehman D-NY said today that
"McCarthyisms' is endangering
this nations civil liberties and de-
Stroying the peoples faith in free
dom and Democratic principles.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery before the AFL National
Convention, Lehman also said the
Taft-Hartley Act must and will
be" repealed.
"Civil liberties include the free.
dom to think, write and speak as
one pleases," the senator said,
&" E. and above all to worship
God as one chooses. >.
"Today, the greatest and most
immediate danger to our civil Ii
berties is from what we call Nc
Carthyism. The deadly and infec
tious quality of this danger was
never so clearly demonstrated al
by the results of the Wisconsin
primary election last week"
Although Lehman never men
toned him by his full name, HI
was referring to Sen. Joseph r
Mccarthy R.Wis., who last weel
was overwhelmingly chosen al
COP nominee for reelection to th'

Reaction From
City Comparable
To XIV. Hauing
Track Operating

The dog track at Pensacola,
Fla is an ''asset, not liability"
according to Marion T. Gaines,
Editor of the Pensacola News
and Journal in a letter to The
Citizen today.
Wishing to get the reaction of
a newsman in town compara-
BILE to Key West, The Citizen
wrote Gaines querying him for
publication on the effect the
track has had on that communi-
ty.
Gaines wrote back today:
"On the whole. we think the
track an asset. net liability. and
that its local ownership and
operation have much to do
with this situation.
''The track" writes Gaines, sis
located about II miles from the
city and draws many of it's GUS
toners from Mobile and other
nearby parts of Alabama, as well
as from Pensacola and surround
ing area.
We have not noted any i'll
effects from the track. In fact.
we believe its presence has at
tractsd many visitors. especial
lY as it operates only during
the summer tourist season.
which is our largest"
The Key West Kennel Club
would operate its track during
the winter tourist season. which
is the largest season here.
Gaines continues:
GAS it (the track is owned and
operated by local, responsible
persons, we have had no trou-
BILE from importation of undeSir-
able characters or other persons
who would attempt to exercise
undue influence upon our local
government or business"
The Pensacola track is operat-
ed by the Pensacola Kennel
club.
Though Pensacola is a larger
city than Key West, it was chos-
en- as the most comparable COM
munity in Florida to query.

.O'Dwyer Passport
May Be Taken Up

WASHINGTON R-Sen. Watkins
(R-Utah) says he will ask the
Eisenhower administration TO take
away the passport of William
O'Dwyer, former New York
mayor, as a means of prodding
O'Dwyer to return to the United
States.
o'Dwyer, recently resigned U. s.
ambassador to Mexico, has given
no indication of plans to leave that
country, He has been under fire
of the New York Crime Commits
sion and the Senate Crime Invesb-
eating Committee.
Watkins conceded in an inter-
view yesterday that revokin 6
O'Dwyer's passport in itself might
not force O'Dwyer's return, but he
said, "It is first step, and We
should take it. !"
A U. S. consular official in
Mexico City said that. If 0'Dwyer's S
passport were Cancelled. he could
stay indefinitely in Mexico as long
as the exiean government
granted its approval.
