confirmed an Associated Press re-
port published Nov. "a that Davis,
42-year-old former University of
Florida fullback and captain, will
get the $8,O00-a-year position.
He will succeed Director John
E. Montgomery, an appointee of
Gov. Warren, when McCarty be-
comes governor Jan. 6.
The beverage director, usually a
key man in the governors little
cabinet of major administrative
aides, has powerful authority to
regulate the liquor industry and
police it against undesirable ele-
mentS.
He directs the state force of Of
ficerS in enforcement of laws
against moonshining. His authority
to revoke liquor licenses OF places
where gambling is permitted
makes him key figure in control
of illicit gambling.
His agency collects about As mil
lion dollars a year in taxes on
beer, wine, whiskey and cigarettes.
Davis has been a close friend of

McCarty since their college days
in the early 30s. He is an infantry

measure of honesty, fairness, in

81 feel he will be fair both to
the people OF Florida and the in
dustry which it will be his duty to

'Both the beverage department
and the industry working closely
together will be an additional and
powerful weapon to fight illegal
gambling in Florida"

PARIS Up - Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway said here the military
detectives needed to safeguard the
security of Western Europe "are
obtainable and so help us God they
will be attained"
Ridgway made his remarks at
an American club luncheon only a
few days before the opening of next
weeks Atlantic alliance meeting.

are assembling in Paris for the
meeting ane the NATO military
committee, which wound UP is

to have approved Ridgway's mill
tary plans for next year and even
1854.
The supreme Allied Commander
said Western Europe is still "far
short of the rock bottom minimum
military requirements to defend
itself"
Ridgway was referring to 1852
NATO military targets of Is first
line divisions and Is reserve divi-
sions. American Army men have
said the European nations failed
to provide all of the Is reserve
divisions. Next years targets is
20 divisions and 9S for 1854.

GUS remarks made about the
Army combining with the Navy
for operations and eyebrows went
up like question marks. Even the
Marines around the area were
puzzled.
Major Romanek explained that
the ship carried equipment for a
program connected with the Inter
American Geodetic Survey project
assigned to the United States Army
IAGS is an organization of the
Corps of Army engineers and full
fills the commitments of the United
States in a collaborative mapping
program involving IS nations. Our
government gives assistance by
loaning equipment, training per
sonnel, and providing technical
personnel for consultation and ad-
viSory capacity.
1t was discovered during World
lar II that more definite know
,dge of the world was needed,
0t only for military reasons, but
+ peacetime activity touching on
dustrial and economic develop
lent. The government of our
alton approached the countries of
4atin America back in 1916 and
suggested collaboration in the car
.ographic project to establish a
geodetic control system which, ac-
cording to a release written by
Col. Robert C. Miller, Corps of
Engineers and directors of IAGS,
will provide the foundation upon
which maps of Latin America can
De built"
The fact that Key Vest Is fre-
guently referred to as "The n0r-
thernmost city in Cuba" has
nothing to do with this technically.
Il so happens that Key West is
one of the points from which the
survey must be done. The method
is called "triangulation" and in
wolves establishment OF certain
strategic bases from which the
engineers operate. Besides a vel
ter of complicated instruments, the
project uses a plane from which
Illuminating signal bombs are drop
ped. The engineers observe the
flare and calculate with survey
ing instruments and all the skill
of their profession. AS Major Ro-
manek said in discouraging visi-
tors to one of the points of OBJ
servation in this area, "The man
on the job has TO concentrate with
out interruption. He needs ten
hands and six minds for the COM
plex business" He also said that
the weather angle was difficult
since the survey must be made
on perfectly clear nights.
