KEY WEST IS MY BEAT
BY SUSAN McAVOY

event you want to cover with me
and I'll take you there.
Now no reporter worth her salt
lets a week 60 by without at least
one scoop. Some scoops are just
city wide or county wide. Some,
however, like my interview with
President Truman last spring in
the chow line are world wide
beats.
The credit for that scoop goes
solely to a reader Of The Citizen
who dashed over here on his bike
to tell me the President was stand
ing in the chow line. 1t was his
tip that won me the international
scoop of chat with the President
while the nationally known White
House correspondents we're else
where under the sun.
You readers of The Citizen can
become a part of these scoops by
opening your eyes and your ears
and becoming reporters for this
column.
Send in or call in your tips to
me. Not idle rumorS or gossip or
private scandals. For this column
win not publish any such tips.
The kind of tips we want are
those that can be checked by me
and lead to bona fide SCOOP Of
THE.WEEK.
The example of the Key Wester
kwho raced over to tip me off on the
Presidents chow line lunch is Just
one example.
You. if you keep your eyes and
ears open, know Of incoming ceIe-
brities that may not know Of.
You may know of some hot politi-
cal fight that is still in the sub

being made that the public should
know about, You may hear or see
some violent incident that we are
not witness TO. Call me II it's hot
and for today: write me if it's a

Now what do you get in return

Search For Klug Slayer Moves
To Florida Mainland As New
Clues Are Unearthed By Hamlin

four days, they are not talking for
fear of tipping off the woman COM
panion and possibly her husband or
lover.
Coroner Hamlin is trying to fit
all the clues together and wrap
them UP before calling the inquest.
The trail of Klug leads through at
least three states, Lancaster, Pa,
where he last wrote his father, and
where he bought the brand new
IL-.ian motorcycle, New Jersey,
his home, and Florida.
The Indian motorcycle, brand
new, was found next to Klug'S body
last Friday morning when two
mullet fishermen first spotted the
corpse.
Hamlin revealed yesterday that
the motorcycle was bought in Lam
caster by the dead man on Sep
TENDER 10. He made one down
payment on it, but evidently could
not get delivery on it. This ex-
plains, said Hamlin, why he show
ed up on October % at the Boule-
ward house on an old motorcycle,
described by manager Mrs. Edith
Sherman. During the three day
stay at the Boulevard house, Klug
must have received a delivery on
his new Indian motorcycle. In any
case, he explained the new cycle
to Mrs. Sherman by saying he had
wrecked the old one and bought the
new one.
The young man was very busy
with vehicles, the last month of his
life. Not only is his 1947 Chevrolet,

the Coroner when the skull was

5OMIHOn Votes
Seen In Election
BY The Associated Press

Voters got out early and in droveS
today to make their great deci-
sion between Republican Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Democrat Adlai
Stevenson as the 33rd man to be-
come their president.
Across the nation. the story was
the same almost everywhere: vot-
ing so heavy that election officials
in state after state called it I'M
precedented. Many polling places
had long lines from the opening.
1t was plain a record total of
ballots was going into the making
of the verdict on the Republican
argument that ''it'S time for a
change" and the Democratic con-
tention that Americans never had
it so good"
Some forecaSters predicted $3.50
million ballots. The biggest vote
cast in the past was 1880, 312 in
1910 when Democrat Franklin d.
Roosevelt defeated Republican
Wendell Willkie.
Though the outward scene was
similar everywhere, the big mys-
terry was what was going on be-
hind the curtains of the voting
booths-did the big vote mean "a
landslide for Ike" as Republicans
hoped, or "a sweep for Stevenson"
as Democrats wished?
The result may be known around
midnight (EST) tonight or, if the
voting is extremely close, perhaps
not until sometime tomorrow. The
last of the polls to close, some
on the west coast, will be open
until IL p. m. (EST).
AS usual, a scattering of smaller
precincts got in all their votes
and made a count soon after the
opening hour.
Sharon, N. H., bidding to be first
in the nation, had all its votes in
by seven minutes after midnight.
The count: Eisenhower 80, Steven
son ID.
Four years ago, the vote in
Sharon was 81 for Republican
Thomas E. Dewey, four for Demo
crat Harry Truman and two for
Progressive party candidate Henry
A. Wallace.
Browns Farm, Fla, gave Eisen-
hover four and Stevenson four.
In the last election, it gave Tru-
man four and j. Strom Thurmond,
States Right candidate, two.
Rutland, another small Florida
precinct, reported IA for Steven
son and 10 for Eisenhower.
From Cataloochee, a mountain
cove in North Cardinals Great
Smokes, the returns were TO for
Stevenon. Truman got the seven
votes there four years ago.
Pointe aux Barques, Mich, an
nounced Is to 0 for Eisenhower.
II was 14-0 for Dewey in '48.
Eisenhower and his wife, "my
Mamie who campaigned by his
side, were among the early voters
in New York City. They got their
ballots in at 7:35 a. m. and went
back to their home at Columbia
University to await the returns.
Stevenson cast his ballot in Halt
Day, ILL.,, at 1906 a. m.
President Truman voted early at
independence, Mo-, and left on his
campaign train for Washington.
Mrs. Truman and their daughter,
Margaret, went to the voting place
with him and got their ballots in
right behind his.
Despite the intensity OF feeling
aroused at many places over ma
tional and local issues, there were
no reports of disorder in the fore
noon hours.

ported that Eugene Toomer, here
tofore the city's second largest
shrimp packer had moved his BUSH
ness to Fort Myers due to UNI
satisfactory conditions here. Els
ner said that the City is in grave

According to an ordinance pas
Sed last month any restaurant with

ing bar owner protested tina. he
had measured the premises and
found that they fell short of the
minimum figure. City Building In
spector Ray Knopp was dispatch
ed to re-measure the building
which was found to be lacking In
