TAMPA tR - Tampa's shrimp
fleet planned to return to normal
operations in Mexican waters after
being notified today that a Coast
Guard cutter would patrol the trou.
bic zone.
Mexican gunboats seized four
Florida shrimp boats near Cam
peche last Sunday on charges they
were fishing in Mexican waters.
They were released Thursday.
Mexican authorities explaining
they were satisfied the boats were
near shore because of bad weather
and not to fish.
Some shrimp boat operators had
sent their vessels hack to- the Cam
peche banks despite the seizure.
Others said they would remain in
port until guaranteed protection by
the U. S. government.
The Coast Guard at st. Peters

route to patrol the Campeche area.
Efforts will be made to pro-

NATIONAL PARK

sNSOHtlIlueQ from rage OHel
world. Just as many of the eiti-
zens he led, he fell in love with
the magnificent, decaying coli
scum of the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1885, at his suggestion, the
National Park Service took over
Fort Jefferson to preserve it for
all time for the American people.
Transportation and water pre-
scented the major problems, how
ever. How to get tourists across
the toughest waters adjacent to
the continental United States so
that they could share the Presi-
dents enjoyment of the giant
fort?
The answer came in 1887 when
the Sutton Line which plies be-
tween Battery Park, New York
City and The Statue of Liberty
was granted the concession to
run boat every other day out
of Key West to the Fort.
Thought the line was to lose
$4,000 each of the three years
of its operation, its purpose was
not SO much to make money, as
to give the American people a
chance to go over to the Fort,
sightsee, and spend the night for
the Enthusiastically cheap rate of
$40.
This included the 1856 mile
round-trip boat trip on the
'Talofa," l25 foot yacht former
ly owned by Barron Collier. Four
meals served on the boat were
included, as was sleeping space
on the household Nirvana, an
chored at Fort jefferson. This
luxury boat, the former property
of millionaire John Wanamaker,
could sleep Is persons only,
which limited the number taken
down every morning at 10 a. m.
from the Porter docks.
John Lehman, now Deputy
Sheriff of Monroe County told
me this week of the days when
he operated the boat for the
Sutton line under skipper, Capt
Ed. Smith, who was one of the
best and most experienced sea-
man going.
E'It:lwas because Capt Smith

being Stabilized" by WPA
workers under the direction of
the Park Service.
Today's superintendent of the
Fort, John R, De Weese, says:
We do not want to rebuild
the Fort, rather do we want to
stabilize it as It is today"
And as tits today, Fort JEFF
terson is one of the most beau
tiful and satisfying sights in our
whole United States.
Gateway to the West Indies, to
Mexico, to the ports of shrimp
ers and larger commercial yes

the tropical glories of the pres

The boat loads of tourists and

Often in the moonlight they
walked through silent ruins of

more enterprising visitors took
moonlight dips on the. lovely
little beach on the west end of

is located.

most of the way. He dropped two
puts of nearly 20 feet to more

last week decided to make their
difference a campaign issue.
What is funny, Eisenhower asked
the crowds around his campaign
train, about the Korean fighting,
the national debt, high taxes, in
fiation, corruption? He said he
could find no witticisms with which
to laugh away the issues of the
campaign.
Stevenson replied that he was
sorry to offend, but he could not
change his personality to suit the
Republicans. His aides pointed out
that he had never joked about the
serious issues. His jokes, they said,
were aimed either at the Republic
can Party or at himself.
It was obvious, however, that the
q. o. p. hoped to take the edge of
Stevenson's humor by labelling him
an irresponsible wiseacre.
Evening star., 1952-09-21
Two Heads or One?

For weeks Stevenson had been
rolling 'em in the aisleS with his
description of Eisenhower as an
unsteady rider on a two-headed
elephant. The Old Guard end of
the G. o. P. elephant, he said, was
galloping back toward 1890, while
the progressive" head was charg-
ing forward into a dimly compre-
hended future.
Two weeks ago the two ends of
Stevenson's favorite elephant, rep
resented by Eisenhower hackers and
by hackers of Senator Taft, got
together, worked out their differ
ences-superflcially at least-and
agreed to campaign together.
But the fact that the elephant
then had only one head did not rob
Stevenson of an issue. The Gov
ernor announced that the wrong
head had taken over.
The reconciliation between Eisen-
hover and Taft was an "abject
surrender" on the part OF Ike, the
new Stevenson line runs; the iso-
lationists have gained the upper
hand and are running the Republi-
can campaign.

At present there is a backlog of
nations seeking membership but

Amend or Repeal?

To union officials, "Taft-Hartley"
is a naughty word. Five years
after passage of the labor law.
a past vote on it or a pleasant word
in its behalf is still good for one
free ride on the union political
purge lists.
This year, both major union
groups, the American Federation of
Labor and the Congress Of Indus
trial Organizations, were watching
carefully to see how Eisenhower
and Stevenson would stand on
Taft-Hartley.
Stevenson gave his position tive
weeks ago in Detroit speech. He
said that Taft Hartley should be
repealed and substituted with a
law more favorable to labor. The
magic word was repeal" Steven
sons stand was applauded by labor.
Last week Eisenhower spoke to
the American Federation of Labor
in New York and said he, too,
wanted changes. But he did not
use the right word. He asked for
"amendent" of Taft Hartley. The
AFL delegates were polite but cool
to Eisenhower, despite the fact
that Ike conceded the law could be
used for union n-busting" and said
he did not believe In use of "com-
pulsion" to settle labor disputes.

struction programs, and may quite
conceivably be ahead of us.
Why Now?
The United States, then, has
chosen at this stage to push the
first button and unleash the
Model-T of the guided-missile era.
It is not easy for the layman to draw
conclusions from this fact. One
not unreasonable conclusion might
be that we now are able, or shortly
will be able, to back up this push
button gambit with more telling
moves, and that we are interested
in the meanwhile in finding out
what our opponents have with
which they may hope to counter us.
It is perhaps reasonable, also,
to assume that we have not
launched this new weapon without
first developing our own defense
against it. Since the surest defense
against the guided missile is a
better missile which can seek the
attacker out and destroy it in the
air, there may be promise here of
technical advances which bode well
for the air defense of this conti-
nent.
The likelihood, in other werds, is
that the Korean developments Of
last week, big as they seemed, were
only the top of the iceberg. What
the world saw was more spectacular
than important. What remained
concealed might be something else
again.
It was a sure bet, anyway, that
the "gimmicks and gadgets" were
here to stay.
