Every single nation or tribe that
had been giving the Israelites
trouble, was either welded into

into an ally.

Achieving Unity

DAVID, King OF Israel, has been
~ dead long enough now SO that
we can with great assurance call
him a statesman. We saw a few
weeks ago aug. 10 and I'D that Saul
faced much the same problems that
face nations today. but failed to
solve them. largely because he was
the wrong kind of man. David had
the same problems, but he solved
them.
We must remember that
David's times were a thousand
years before Christ, so Of
course ne was no Christian.
Nevertheless. looking back at
his achievements, history can
say, Well done! Here lived
man who had what II took to
lead his nation to have and to
be what II needed to have and
to be at that time.
I What Israel needed to become a
strong nation we're unity and Sc
curity, AT Saul's death these were
lacking, and Of course that spelled
national weakness, The split be-
tween judah and the other tribes
had never been healed. David Sc
cured the unity of the nation In a
dramatic way: he captured the city
of Jerusalem which had been in
enemy hands for hundreds of years,
and made that city, for the first
time, the capital Of Israel. He built
his palace there tSaul's had been
at Gibeah,) he brought the ark there
tsee lesson for Sept l4), and intend.
ed building a temple which would
be the central shrine for the entire
nation, Through creating this new
and centrally located capital, David
achieved political, military, reli-
gious and sentimental unity all at
once.

Subject Disclosed

A closed meeting between the
City Commission and naval autho-
rites headed by Rear Admiral Ir-
ving T. Duke, commanding officer
Of the Naval Station was begun at
10 p. m. today in the Administra-
don building on the Naval Station
Secrecy shrouded the reason for
ne meeting although indication
vas given last night at a meeting
T the city fathers that at least
one of the matters to be discussed
Today involved the taking over of
a IA unit housing project by the
Navy.
The city has already passed a
resolution protesting the acquisi-
ton OF these units. in view of the
critical Key West housing situation.
However, the Navy does have a
legal right to commander such
Federal finance housing such as
the units in question.
The commissioners complained
that there is not enough land avail
able in the colored section of the
city to replace the housing units
which will be lost to residents in
that area. They added that they
Navy should be asked to transfer
10 the city, a portion Of Fort Tay-
Tor which they said has not been
used, for the purpose of construc-
ting housing. The Navy, in the past
according to the commissioners
has indicated that they cannot do
so.
Commissioner Louis M. J. Els
ner, was particularly outspoken in
the question when he declared:
"The Navy is always quick. to cri-
iicize the City for it's bars, strip
joints. and gambling, but when il
comes TO offering the city 2Is acres
Of land for housing, badly needed
housing, they turn a deaf ear.
AT the suggestion Of Commission
err John Carbonell. the City Fathers
moved to make a formal request
70 the Navy for the granting Of a
portion Of the Fort Taylor land:
Although lie said candidly, II
know it won't do any good to ask !"

ment may also come in for dis
cussion at the closed meeting fol-
lowing last weeks debacle among
the Commissioners when they turn

training program for police be
started and took the initiative in
suggesting that local Navy heads
assign a permanent shore patrol

necessary U. S. Marines assist.
The motion was seconded by Com

AT this meeting, it was disclosed
that City Manager Dave King and
