Kronheim Denies He

Central Committee

Milton S. Kronheim. ST.. ex-
pressed amazement today that the
question of whether he and Com
missioner F. Joseph Donohue
were members of the District
Democratic Central Committee
had been raised in court.
Asked to comment on the con-
tention of Attorney William A.
Roberts that he, Mr.. Donohue and
others were serving Illegally on the
committee, Mr.. Kronheim said:
'In the first place, I have a lot
Of respect for Mr.. Roberts. I am
amazed that man Of his vast
experience did not make a thor
ough investigation before making
statements in court.
Never q Member.
Neither Mr.. Donohue nor my
self are members of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee here,
and never have been. We never
were candidates for the office,
and were never appointed to it so
far as I know"
Mr.. Roberts, leader of group
Of supporters of Senator Kefauver
in the June II preconvention pri-
mary here. raised the question
at hearing before Judge Walter
M. Bastian in District Court
Wednesday.
Mr.. Roberts and others brought
an action to outlaw several candi-
dates in the primary. Judge
Bastian dismissed the suit, but he
allowed Mr.. Roberts time to pre-
pare an amended petition.
Mr.. Roberts told reporters later
he will file an amended petition
and push for legislation to govern
the conduct of future primaries in
the District.
Still Seeks List.
The attorney said, as to his
charge that Mr.. DonOhue, Mr.
Kronheim and others we're on the
committee illegally, that he has
been unable to obtain full and
complete list of the membership
of the. Central Committee, al
though he still Is seeking this
information.
He said his charge was partly
the result of misinformation, he
had received.
Mr.. Kronheim, a. veteran mem.

time he and Mr.. Donohue decided
to run for election as delegates tt

could also have run for election te

Neither of us did this" Mr.
Kronheim added. 'I cannot under.
stand why man as well informed

Il Home Owners Lose Plea
For Ice Machine Removal

Twelve home-ow living near
the ice vending machine at Fair
lawn and Pennsylvania avenues
IS.E. have lost their battle to have
the machine removed.
The Commissioners yesterday
rejected their plea that the. ma
chine be taken away.
The residents said the noise of
|chunks of ice falling keeps them
awake at night. They complained
that people cracked ice on the
sidewalk, slammed car doors and
cursed when the machine was
empty.
To temper their decision, the
Commissioners said the Police
Department has promised to keep
an eye on the machine and not
Ilet all these things happen.
Police know the machine well,
Several months ago, two police
men were arrested for stealing ice
from the machine. They denied
this, saying another man went in
the back and gave them the ice
when nothing came out the slot.

KEY WESTERS GET THE ANSWER TO
WHO IS A GOOD POLITICIAN?

Kew Westers have heard the remark often, Hes
GOOD politician" but seldom have delved deep enough
into the subject to determine what makes good pot
clan.
The Citizen, during the campaign after the deadne
for candidates to qualify, gave apt to that
question time and again. that probably unnoced by
the general run of readers The embodied in
letters or stories sent to The Citizen by Bill Lantaf
representative in Congress from this district To anybody
unfamiliar with local politics. it would have appeared that
Bill had opposition and trying to bolster his candida

ed his opponent in the Immediately previous Primary by
record 900 for that office had opposition in
the May Primary and his name did not appear the
ballot
who did not know differently 1t seemed that Bill realized
he had his hardest fight and letting opportunity
slip by to strengthen his candidacy.
Bill Lantaff is shining example of the good polit

BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R - Uncle Sam is
having a little misunderstanding
again with some of his good neigh
bors over prices. And international
politics, playing quite as large a
part as economics, gives the dis
putes some fantastic twists.
Chile wants more for her copper,
which we need. than the 27l2 cents
pound we have been paying her.
So she isn't letting us have any at
all just now.
Bolivia wants more for her tin
than the $1.21I3 a pound price
Uncle Sam sets on metal he can
buy in Malaga. where it is plenu-
full.
Rubber prices in Singapore have
dropped sharply again. British
planters blame Uncle Sam because
he cut the price of synthetic rub
Der he produces. American rubber
consumers show slight interest In
buying Malaya's natural product,
now in surplus supply, at any but
bargain prices.
II the United States wanted to
get rough, it probably could get
along without Bolivian tin-now.
But Bolivian friendship is import
ant to us, and in time of war the
tin from Malaga might be cut off,
as ii was by the japanese. So we
are negotiating with Bolivia about
prices. Tin is essential to her econ
omy.
The copper situation is much
more complex. We produce only
two thirds of what we need. In
ternational politics ties US tightly
to Chile's copper mines. and holds
us at arms length from other
copper sources, controlled by our
European allies.
BY drawing upon our large stra-
tegic stockpile, we could get by
for a long time and thus beat
down Chile's asking price. But this
is an election year, both here and
in Chile. Here the defense program
is to be kept rolling and the civilian
economy prosperous and that
means more copper.
In Chile a government friendly
to the United States is opposed by
slate regarded here as favoring
Argentina. The price Chile gets for
her copper could play a big part
in the political campaign there.
Chile has been furnishing 80 per
cent of the copper We consume,
selling US so per cent of her pro-
ductfbn at 27'4 cents, or three
cents a pound above our ceiling
price on domestic copper. Chile
sold the rest in Europe, getting as
high as 81 cents . pound on the
free market
But demand for copper is easing
rapidly IN Europe and the price
has dropped To IS cents-which
some think IS the price Chile would
like us 20 contract TO pay over a
long period for her output. II We

show that the young of our land
still have the quality of mild rebel,

Most of these mass raids have
been in quest of coed bras and

nosed gentry will surely see this
as new sign of moral decadence
and ask suspici0usly:
what do the boys want with
those things anyway"
The answer to this is simple
and practical. Soaked in cold wa

many a fellow bone up for his
final exams. They beat a towel
all hollow.
There is historical precedent for
this. In the days of chivalry the
knight always rode off to battle
carrying a token--usually a glove
from his lady fair. The trouble
with a glove is that you can't tie
it around your head. If you don't

Orange Bowl Festival Entry
Great Thing For Key West
Paul Marks And BabcOck
Stress Advantage To
Town That Would Accrue

Two former Key Westers visit
ed town last weekend with their
families They were Paul Marks,
attorney and at one time counsel
for the Overseas Bridge Com
mission, and Guthrie Babcock,
now in the realty business in
Miami.
Paul was especially interested
in trying to get Key West to
make an entry into the Orange
Bowl Parade and Jamboree next
year.
'The town is missing one of
the most wonderful. opportuni-
ties for promotion and adver-
Using that exists in this section
of the country" he emphasized.
Key West should make a float
and ente4 the high school band
in the Orange Bowl activities. 1t
would mean getting free adver-
Using by television, radio, news
movies, as well as newspapers
and magazines.
"A full page advertisement in
the Souvenir Booklet that is is
sued would in itself be read by
thousands of visitors who might
come on down to Key West"
Suggests Committee
Attorney Marks says that the
approximate expenses of enter
ing the Orange Bowl festival
would amount to perhaps $4,000.
He suggests that instead of one
organization trying to handle
this large undertaking, it would
be better if all civic organiza-
tons, churches, and schools
banded together and formed a
representative committee to plan
finances, type of float, etc.
You could even have con-
test sponsored by such a COM
mittee for the purpose of de-
Gliding what kind of float would
be entered. Such contest might
help provide money too"
Plan Early
Should Key West be willing to
enter the festival, it must have
its plans made by Oct. 1.
Paul is a member of the Off
cial Orange Bowl Advisory Com
mittee in Miami. He says he
will be glad to work with any
one in this area that wants more
information on the subject. His
