By The Associated Press

Unity of the Republican party in
the presidential campaign may be
decided today at a coffee cup con.
ference between Sen. Robert A
Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover in New York.
The Ohio senator and the COP
candidate scheduled a simple but
dramatic breakfast table meeting
which may determine how strongly
Taft will campaign for the man
who wrested the presidential NOM
ination from him at Chicago.
Taft's decision is important for
he has heavy following which
probably will follow his lead.
Meanwhile, Gov. Adlai Steven
son, the Democratic presidential
nominee, continued his whirlwind
political invasion of the West.
He has hop, skip and a jump
schedule today that takes him from
Los Angeles to Phoenix and Tue
son, Ariz., and then to Albu-
querque, N. M, where he plans an
address tonight.
The drama of the Eisenhower
Taft meeting, however, temporari-
ly swung interest from Stevenson S
campaign tour back to the COP
camp.
Taft has said ne wanted to learn
more about EisenhoWer's views be-
fore making up his mind on what
part he will play in the campaign.
Many hoped he would approve the
generals policies and decide to
campaign actively.
Eisenhower in the field of world
problems and Taft on the home
front will make the greatest team
the American people could have
said Sen. H. Alexander Smith, New
Jersey Republican.
The New York meeting is time
ly, for Eisenhower leaves Sunday
for a 12-day campaign trip - his
third - through the Midwest and
the South.
The senator's decision may play
a part in the kind of reception the
general gets in the Midwestern
states that supported Taft at the
Naional Convention.
Stevenson, in Los Angeles, went
on the offensive yesterday with a
Strongly-worded denial that Dem
ocrats alone are responsible for
corruption in government
He said the public itself is part
ly at fault, adding; "Your public
servants serve you right; indeed
often they serve you better than
your apathy and Indifference de-
serves"
Sen. Richard NJ. Nixon of Calf
Ornia, Republican vice-presidential
nominee, was in Washington, D. c.,

He took time yesterday to outline
what he said were the five issues

PRAISES Mayor Harvey"
The Editor:

"Praises Mayor Harvey"
The Editor:
Key West Citizen
Congratulations to Mayor Harvey
for seeing the danger of degrad-
alton of our Island City, with "Spot
coming" in the residential section
Of the city. 1t is not fair to the
well established business people
beside the property owners Of
homes who wish their surroundings
quiet, clean and beautiful. Key
Vest can ill-afford to push the
home owners out. We are only five
miles long and half mile wide.
Spotty business spread out would
ruin the prospects of a beautiful
garden city of the nation.
With careful planning, we could
have a little show city to be proud
of.
The present business center needs
more parking space, so why not
take away three feet from each
side of the present business streets
in the center of town.
With the installation Of parking
meters, it would soon pay back the
cost.
1t would help business places and
besides accommodating shoppers.
We don't need ten foot sidewalks
any more - this a motor age.
In one minute yesterday, l
counted eight bicycles and scOoters
and nine cars in the Fleming
street area between Duval and
Whitehead streets. What help it
would be to have six feet more on
streets for the safety of all! Duval
street, Truman, Simonton, Fleming,
Eaten, Front and north Truman on
White Street all need attention
with meters in the busy section.
Have and preserve our beautiful
entrance to Key West on Roosevelt.
Get the Island artists to paint a
picture of what it could be made
to be and select one that will make
us proud to receive our tourists and
visitors. Don't destroy this with
business places. Limit business to
Hilton Haven and allow homes,
motels and hotels from there to the
intersection at the Naval Hospital.
Preserve the Gulf water on the
north side. Plant Royal Palms
along Roosevelt drive, let hotels,
mOtels and homes have parking in
the rear of buildings and have a
picturesque garden frontage. We
must have strict zoning so we n
be proud of our SouthernmoSt land
and the US. Visitors and newcom-
ers will sing out our praise if we
have a planned, well laid out gar
den city.
We need just what our Mayor
prOpOSeS-a group of engineers to
lay a plan for us before we destroy
our prize community. Now is the
time to act, Mr.. Commissioners.
We need community forum so
discussion can be had heard by all
and besides each one can help. We
can't take our wealth with us but
we can leave we'll planned semi
tropical, sOuthernmost island as a
precious work of art.

OPS OKAYS RAISES IN MEAL PRICES
 BY RESTAURATEURS

JUNEAU - Restaurant opera tors in Alaska will be permitted to raise their meal prices to off set certain increased food and labor costs, Fred G. Hanford Territorial Director of the Office of Price Stabilization, said today.
 Restaurant prices have been frozen since January. Since that time, Hanford said, it has been shown that food and labor costs have gone up to the extent that many of Alaska's restaurant oper- ators are suffering hardship.
 Action was delayed on the many requests from restaurant owners for relief, Hanford said, so that studies could be made of the actual amount of increases in food and wages.
 To take care of food cost ln- creases, the restaurant owner may use the following method: He may figure this food-cost-per dol lar of sales for the period Janu- ary-February- March, 1852. If this ration is higher than the ratio he had during his original base period under the old CPR Il, he may readjust his meal prices to restore his normal food-cost ratio
 The amendment is effective August g.

A new procedure has been adopted by the Department of the Interior for issuance of small tract leases covering lands which have been covered by leases at one time but for some reason have reverted to the Government, it was announced today by Virgil ). Seiser, Manager of the Anchor age Land Office. This procedure. which was recommended by local officials of the Bureau of Land Management, became effective August 5.
 On that date, approximately 35 tracts, upon which leases have been cancelled, were made avail able for application by the gen. eral public as we'll as veterans. Seiser pointed out that the filing period will extend from August 5 to August IS, inclusive, and that as all applications filed during that period of time will be con- sidered as having been recorded simultaneously, there need be no rush to the Land Office on the first day. Conflicts will be settled by drawing, which will be held at a date to be announced by the Manager.
 The arrangement will become permanent so that on the 5th ot each month hereafter, lands upon which leases have been cancelled during the previous month will be subject to application by all quail fled individuals, the Manager pointed out. For instance, if there are any leases cancelled or relin- ouished during the month ot Aug ust. the II day period for appll- cations will start on September 5.
 The tracts that will become available on August , are scatter ed throughout the Anchorage dis

Bureau Foce-Liftinq Project Adds Beauty To Palmer Scene

A new face-lifting project at Eklutna Project headquarters adds another small island of handicapped orderliness to the Palmer scene.
 A joint project of owners and tenants, the American Legion provided the necessary fill dirt and top cover and Bureau of Reclamation workers did the grading work and this week are in the process of establishing a lawn. An attractive peeled log fence has been erected around the lawn. Another effectively con- trols the parking area on the north side of the building.

who gave the section it's name.
He was a former Union soldier

for the name of the new section.
1t was General Wheaton who land

Slaves Modern STYLE

We talk about how free we are,
how much time is now on womens
hands What woman?) and how we
turned all the modern convcniences
into working slaves for us. And yet
wonder. as ! watch some women, if
each new labor saving device hasn't
given them one more thing to slave
over. Think how much longer it takes
to keep a modern stove spic and span
than it did those old black cast iron
ones. Yes, removing the ashes can be
included in the chore.
Some women who have automatic
washers hold on to the burden Of
washing as they did beforehand the
great burden to them is the hanging
up and taking down Others complain
Of the automatic dish washer, that
the plates have to be scraped, and as
the teen ayers complain, you have
the job of placing them in and later
taking them away
Then there are others who install
deep freezers to save hours of pro-
cessing time in hottest weathcr-and
they will add that food does taste
better. But they allow themselves to
be burdcncd with the chore Of thaw-
ing and then they will explain that
you really do have to plan ahead.
