OF Ft. LduderdaJe
Club At Mass
Meeting Tonight
Plans for the purchase of
the Fort Lauderdale fran
chise in the Florida Inter-
national Baseball League
will be discussed tonight at
. mass meeting in the City
Hall ut $500 pm. The en-
tire public is invited and
urged to attend the session
and lend their support to
the biggest thing to appear
on the Key West sporting
scene in years.
Louis CarbonelI, who Is
sparkling the drive to raise
funds for the purchase of
the now defunct franchise,
said today that Key West
could concievably h a We
Class A organized baseball
as early rs next week If the
necessary funds are raised
tonight. Carbonell will ap-
pear before the County
Commission tonight in a
plea for County aid in fur
thering the cause of base
ball in this city. :
The League laws stipulate that
q total of $4,000 must be rails d
to obtain the franchise. Car
bonell said. however. that an
outlay of only 8 to 10 thousand
dollars is necessary for operating
expenses with the balance being
held on deposit in che league
treasury as evidence of the good
faith of the persons backing the
enterprise.
To date, q total of $1,000 has
been pledged by baseball loving
Key Westers including 6 pledges
of $1,000 each from a group of
men interested in seeing the Is
land City in organized ball.
Tonight's meeting viii be ad-
dressed by Carbonell and Hank
Day who has also been active in
furthering the cause Of baseball
here.
Mr., Carbonell emphasized that
no pledge LIS too small and ex-
pressed the hope that tonight's
meeting would bring local base
ball fairs out in force and that
they would show their interest
in a tangible way by purchasing
stock in the enterprise. He added
that reciepted pledge forms will
be available and that in the
event that for any reason the
deal fails TO 90 through. any
money dcEated win be refunded
in full.
The deal to purchase the
Lauderdale Club. which could be
closed tomorrow Is being en-
courage by Fill officials TO the
extent that they would send ex-
perts TO this city 10 set up the
details of the operation including
ticket sales and seating. The re-
naming clubs in the loop have
expressed their support and CO.
operation In moving the fran
chise TO Key West even to the
extent of offering player help.
The Fort Lauderdale team which
Is currently in last place in the
league would be moved TO Key
West intact but would undoabt-
edly be strengthened somewhat.
The switch could conceivahly be
q factor In bettering their posi-
don in the race. Key West could
give the team the kind Of back
ing that could put them in the
win co.unin consistently.
The FIJI Is composed az teams
from Miami. Miami Beach. Ha-
vana. Tampa. ST. Petersburg.
West Palm Beach and Lakeland.
Miami is currently setting the
pace in the loop.
The entrance OF . Key West

be a terrific boost for the City

Truman Hit By
Party COnclave
Wants Civil Rights Only
AS Issue, Not AS Law,
Former Congressman
MarcantOniO Declares.
By Associated Pres,

Former Congressman Vito Mar
cantOniO of New York told the Pro-
gressive' Party's national eonven-
ton in Chicago last Saturday that
President Truman wants civil
rights "Only as an ISSUE" and not
as law.
He accused the Truman admin
istration of "sameful double-deal-
ing" on civil rights in the S1st Con-
gress.
Marcantonio declared that Cen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower belongs
on "the Ounce stool" for Confessed
Ignorance" on civil rights. Thus he
belabored the two major contend
ers for the Republican presidential
nomination.
In the current 82nd Congress, he
said, a fair employment practices
bill was not reported out of com
mittee until a month before sched-
uled adjournment of Congress.
This, he cOntended, amounts to "a
guarantee it will not be enacted. E"
"The enemies of FEPC in Con
gress are the leaders of the Demo-
cratic Party" he said in an ad-
dress prepared for the convention.

BY Associated Press

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. the old
soldier who didn't fade away after
all, set the Republicans on fire
Monday night with a call for
mighty all-party crusade against
making America "a SOcialistic or
even later a Communist state"
The five-star general of the Army
set off a long wild ovation when
he came before the strife-torn
Republican National Convention to
fay the Democrats for tragic
blunders" leading the nation, he
said, toward a third world war.
Macarthur was cheered we'll over
five minutes when he entered the
hall-a somber, pOlice-escorted fig
ure in a dark blue civilian suit
and 73 times in his 57-minute ad-
dress. the crowd of 10000 inter-
rupted him with sometimes frenZied
applause.
The general spoke earnestly, SON
orously, leaning we'll forward to-
ward the four microphones that
carried his words to the nation by
radio. The glare of newsreel and
televisiOn lights appeared to bother
him not at all.

Many Employees May Qualify
For Higher Social Security
The "NPD Start" Provision Of 1850 Amendments
TO The Social Security Act May Aid You If
You Are Near Retirement AGE

For many employees who are
nearing retirement or age 65. the
month of July 1852 is very inn
portant because in some cases il
will be possible for the wage
Garner to qualify for higher month
ly Social Security Benefits If he
has continued in regular employ
ment through June of this year,
Mr.. MyrOn MilbOuer, Manager of
the Social Security office in Will
mingtOn, reported today
The new start" provision of the
1850 amendments to the Social Sc
Curity Act makes it possible to use
new computation formula based
on earnings after 1850 instead of
all earnings since 1886. For many
people this will mean a higher
average monthly wage and. there
fore, a higher benefit payment. This
is so because, after 1850. maximum
wage credits of $4,000 a year are
possible. Under the old law $4,000
was the most a person could be
credited with in any one year.
Mr.. MilbOuer went on to explain
that for many persons it will be
advantageous to continue working
until at least six new quarters
after 1850 have been earned. At the
! time of filing an application fOI
benefits, careful consideration will
be given each case under both the
new and the old formulas. and the
higher benefit will be paid.

Power Contract
For Ten Years
Voted Tuesday
City Council, By 6 To 2
Vote, Approved Pur-
chase From Delaware
Power And Light Co.

City Council Tuesday night set
tied the lOng-debated electric pow
er question by voting to sign a
contract with the Delaware Power
and Light Co., for another ten
years.
Settlement of the issue came as
somewhat of a surprise, as the de-
cisiOn was made in the face of a
petition of over 500 names present
ed earlier the same evening which
demanded a referendum on the
question.
The petition was presented to
council by Howard T. Postles, a
member of the group which has
sought to have a local power plant
erected. Council accepted the petit
tion and proceeded with it's order
of business. during which Mayor
r. G. Evans announced that adVer-
tisements had been made for bids
for purchased current, and that
one bidder, the Delaware Power and
Light Co.. had made a proposal. A
heated discussion followed, invOlv-
ing members of Council and other
citizens of the city. At length,
when a vote was taken on signing
a contract. the proposal carried by
a to margin. COuncilmen George
P. Vinyard and j. Clayton Kirby
voted against the motion.
Settlement of the power question
comes after many months of bitter
debate and general ill-feeling be-
tween the two factions. At least
three general citizens meetings
and several gatherings of each fac
tion have been held to discuss the
problem; and each side has taken
every opportunity, via letters to
this paper and hand bills distribu-
ted throughout the city, to influ-
ence the outcome of the question.
The new contract with Delaware
Power and Light Co., with two ex'
ceptiOns, is essentially the same as
the one under which the city has
been purchasing current since the

State Will Get
Sl,2l3,OOOTax
From Racing
Meet This Year
Revenue From Delaware
Park IS Second Largest
In Is Years OF Racing ;
Exceeds Last Year By
Is Percent.

The state will receive about
$1,213,O00 as it's share in the pro-
ceeds Of the Delaware Park racing
season which ended Saturday, it
was estimated early this week.
The states revenue will be the
second highest in the 15-year his
tory Of Delaware Park, and is per
cent above the $1,047,O91 netted the
state last year. The figure will be
close to the results for the record
year of 1916 when the states in4
come from horse racing at Della
ware Park was S1,275, ,O49.49.
Both attendance and betting we're
higher for this years 33-day meet

were also higher this year.

for an average of $973, ,167 per day
Last year the betting added up to
$27 ,667 ,463, which produced a daily
average of $864, $50.
The state gets three and a half
per cent of the pari-mutuel sales,

1858, 1862.
The state also gets 20 cents in
tax on admissions. Total attend
ance was 448,242, which produces
for the state a tax income of $780,

Last year attendance tOtaled
4O9,039 and the states tax cut was
$7S.728.S0.
The daily average attendance
this year was 1854, while last year

Ex-President Appeals For
Great Air Force Able
To Strike Back Like
Rattlesnake.
Gets TumultuOus Con-
ventiOn Salute AS He
Condemns Those In
Federal Control.
By Assoeisled Press


Herbert Hoover pleaded Tuesday
night, in what he said may be lis
last appearance before a Republi-
can National Convention, for a
mighty Air Force capable of strik-
ing back like a rattlesnake IL this
country is attacked by Russia.
The former president-77 years
old, and voicing calm awareness
that his days are numbered-receiv-
ed tumultuous ovation as he ap-
peared before the convention and
struck hard at a key endeaver of
Gen. Dwight d. Eisenhower-the
West European defense force.
"A phantom army" Hoover call
ed the divisions built up under the
direction of Eisenhower before the
general took on Senator Robert A.
Taft in the presidential nomination
fight that has split this convention
into hostile camps.
Hoover received a roaring well
come, considerably greater than
the one the delegates gave Monday
night to their keynote speaker,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
While the organ doomed, and the
flushed ex-President stood with
tear-glistened eyes in the glare of
foodlights, delegation after delega-
ton fell into a parade around the
convention hoor-the first such
mass demonstration since the con-
ventiOn opened Monday morning.
Hoover stated in strong new
terms the basic view which launch
ed last years great debate" on
foreign policy:
He called for a smaller army. less
reliance on the West European
ground forces and an Air Force
that would restore the advantage
of military initiative to us.
Il do not propose" Hoover said
that we retreat into our shell like
a turtle. 1 do propose the deadly
reprisal strategy of a rattlesnake.
Obviously touched by this recep-
ton, Hoover said at the outset OF
his speech:
From the inexOrable course OF
nature, this is likely to be the last
time l shall attend your conven-
tions."
A roar of "no" arose from the
,massed delegates.
With quiet emphasis. the former
president then launched into his
speech climaxed with a declaration
that freedom IS the great issue in
