BY SAM DAWSON


NEW YORK Up - Makers of
mems and women's wool clothing
are eying Australia keenly this
week. The way the prices 60 at
the raw wool auctions there may
have a lot to do with the price
of your next springs suit.
Some wool fabric manufacturers
here think the first sales at Sgd
ney showed e firm enough tenden-
cy for the American mills to set
prices for next springs wear lines
at about the same level as last
spring. The lines formally open
around the middle of this month.
Others contend it is too early yet
to tell how the Australian auctions
are going. American buying in Sgd
ney has been very sketchy so far.
Most of the wool offered has been
of a quality not sought here.
Many fabric makers, therefore,
are holding up the pricing of
spring lines, even though many
of them have enough wool already
bought at the old price. The way
the price goes in Sydney win still
have its effect, they say.
Australian wool prices started
out higher on the opening day
Monday, then slipped, and are now
reported about the same as when
the auctions there closed in June.
Japanese bidding has been Q

textile men see this as another in.

industry is going to- be increas.

The Japanese are expected to
take about 100000 bales this sea.
son, or Is per cent more than last
year.
This stepup by the japanese has
some American textile men won
dering. The world wool picture is
far from strong. Argentina has
large quantities unsold. Wool mills
here and abroad have shown little
interest in buying.
Americans are wondering if they
or the British are going to be the
losers if Japan takes over more
of the world market.
While a pickup in the clothing
industry has encouraged the mills
here to talk of better days to come,
they say that most of the clothing
makers have fabric inventories and
aren't ordering much from the
mills.
Forced selling of Argentine wool
is expected by many in the trade
here to keep Australian prices
down this season. Some think pric-
es at the Australian auctions will
drop after this week.
American wool growers are also
pessimistic, some of them COM
planning of lack of buying interest
for Western clips.

FALSE RUMoRS ABOUT HURRICANES
CREATE NEEDLESS WORRIES

Rumors without fgment of truth in them, about a
man or woman, spawned by sander, and false ru-
mors about hurricanes stem from ear creduity NOR
bid mind But Key Westers have to become t
terry about hurricane coming in this direc-
tion when it is going away from us
It may be maintained, and truly, that nobody knows
positively what way hurricane will CO. For that matter,
it could turn about and back to where it started. it
could curve to the SOUTH instead of toward the north
it does usually. Weathermen positive terms
about the course hurricane will travel but they do state
fairly accurate probability, based past performances.
The 5 A. NJ advisory Wednesday gave hurricane
Bakers latitude 24.5 only three miles under Key
Vests latitude The advisory further said that the hur
ricane moving northwest west-northwest.
One did not need to have map to know that the
y way the hurricane would strike Key West was for
travel due west and that its going northwest or west
northwest would take far away from us, for the long
tude, given at the time 663, $50 miles east
of Key West.
And yet it was rumored in Key West that the hur
ricane coming this way and the resulted in
many tourists scootng out of town. It said that one
local motel fully occupied, almost empted because
Of the rumor,.
False rumors about hurricanes in Key West are need
essy pernicious in of the excellent Weather Bureau
service have Sam Goldsmith in charge the Weather
Bureau in Key West, is urbane and genial r. E.
Spane in charge of the Weather Bureau at Boca Chca
and the four under him, j. K. Brown L. G. Colette
H. A. Erickson and Kersey Those men give us serv-
ice at its highest peak and readily and considerably
swer questions about hurricanes any other type Of
weather.
1t Is an easy and simple matter for Key Westers
to follow the of hurricane Let them get weather
maps Zone local company giving them away and check
the latitude and longitude of hurricane is given out
by the Weather Bureau Had rumormongers checked
Wednesdays A. M. advisory, they would have noted
that the hurricane at Key Vests latitude and that
II it continued to move northwestery it would strike the
coast somewhere in the Carolinas westnorhwesterly
somewhere in the vicinity of ST. Augustine
Spreading false about a hurricane creates
needless worry in addition to its adverse effect on bus-
ness.

Donnie Williams, 500 Ashe ST.,
leaves for college in few days.
Donnie was a XIV Citizen news
carrier until June of 1851. In those
days l was circulation manager
and Donnie proved to be tremend-
GUS help because of his loyalty to
both the paper ana his customers.
I've been shopping around trying
to find a suitable 'going-away"
present for him and was struck
by the idea that one of the most
enjoyable gifts young man could
get would be his hometown news
paper. Therefore, I'm placing
Gift subscription order for the Citi-
zen to be mailed to Donnie.
Am passing this idea along be-
cause selecting gifts is a rough
problem for most people. If you
have young friends or relatives who
are leaving home for the first
time, perhaps the Key West Citi-
zen viii help ease their first few
months of home-sickness.
Familiar Quotations
A XIV Citizen reader, (evidently
a friend), was heard commenting
on familiar quotations that this
column often mentions. The praise
- though appreciated = was hard
ly deserved. l haven't memorized
a line Of words since my grammar
school teacher used to make me
get UP and, in Singsong fashion,
cry out: "0h. Young Lochinvar
come out of the West etc,
etc."
ing my high school years,
Catholic priest drilled English and
literature in my head for four
years. Because we students had
the same teacher on these subjects
throughout high school, he was able
to spot every weakness or strength
that we possessed.
Father Louis Emmerth recogniz-
ed my love for books and. although
was not a Catholic, he allowed me
to help maintain the school, as
well as the parish, library. 1t was
like Seventh Heaven" just to be
able to dust the books though half
of them were in Greek, Latin, Ger
man, ETC., and / couldn't even pro
nounce the titles.
Read and remember, Father
Emmerth used to insist, Don't
try to memorize empty phrases.

A Letter
From Bill Lantaii
Dear Neighbor:

0(aA ANNA6AIOAs
Many folks have asked me var
ious questions from tire to time
about the Hoover Commission and
its recommendations.
1t was pleasure to discuss these
who's, why's and wherefore's with
Robert Mccormick, Research Dir.
ector of the Citizens Committee for
the Hoover Report.
This commission was created
for the purpose of studying our
government for possible reorgani-
zation which would Streamline the
executive branch of the govern.
ment. The commission was estab-
ished in 1947 through unanimous
vote Of the congress.
President Truman presided over
the first meeting of the commits
sion and nominated former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover as chairman
of the group. Secretary of State
Dean Acheson was named vice
chairman and the commission set
about its task Immediately.
According to Bob Mccormick.
the skepticism over whether or not
any real governmental changes
would come about caused the for.
nation of the Citizens Committee
for the Hoover Report. There had
been eight studies for reorganiza.
ton of government before but no.
thing had been done to put into
practice reorganization proposals.
1t was known that any such pro-
posals would effect Congress, gov
ernmental agencies or various
groups of citizens, so this com.
mittee took it upon themselves to
spearhead drive for adoption Of
the commissions recommenda-
tons. 1t was the motivating force
to take on all opposition and to
place the commissions case be-
fore the public.
The Hoover-Acheson Commission
to date, has made 318 government
tai reorganization recommenda-
tons. Seventy percent of these re-
concentrations have been written
into law. These proposals will even
tually save the American taxpayer
A billion dollars a year.
Mccormick answered the ques-
tion of why these savings viii come
about eventually and are not re-
lized at the present time. "our
military buildup which is becoming
more and more expensive due to
initiation is more than eating up
the savings which the recommends
tions are providing. What we have
accomplished is that our budget
would be 4 billion dollars more a
year had we not adopted the re-
concentrations we have" he said.
In my next letter, would like
to 60 into some of the problems
and opposition which confronted the
Citizens Committee in their at
tempts to gain adoption of these
recommendations. There are some
interesting revelations of half-hear
ed support from many who want
their half untouched but favor a
change in the other fellows half.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Lantaff

and that's when she produces {
best copy.
Miss Davis is leaving next weel
for New York, where she vii.
begin rehearSals in a revue, ''TwC
Is Company" 1t will be her first
Broadway show since she came
to Hollywood for a distinguished
career that has lasted more than
two decades. 1t is also hei first
stage musical. / asked her if she
were nervous.
"Of course I'm nervous!" said
the actress, who generally speaks
with exclamation marks. who
wouldn't be nervous? But Pm not
worried. It's a fine show and I'll
do my best to help make it a hit.
Ogden Nash has written some
wonderful material"
Will she sing in the show?
Certainly I'll sing! It's musi-
cal, isn't it?"
Is she practicing a time step
for the dance numbers?
'Now, really, how long has it
been since you've seen time
step in revue? Jerome Robbins
is doing the choreography, and
he's the best in his field"
Is she concerned about facing
a live audience after all these
years in movies?
"Of course not! Oh, the first
night in New York may be tense,
but there's no difference in the
mediums. If you're an actor,
you're an actor! 1t doesn't matter
whether it's stage, pictures tele
vision or radio. You're still acting.
'This matter of going back to
the stage is ridiculous! You don't
go back to the stage. It's merely
a matter of geography; acting is
acting in any medium. The Eng
hsh are lucky. They can do plays
and pictures without travelling.
They don't talk about going back
to anything. It would be the same
in this country if the movie indus
try were in Long Island instead of
Hollywood"
Miss Davis added that she will
stay with the show as long as
she is needed. That could mean two
years, if it's hit. Is she worried
about being off the screen that
long?
'Not in the least! The only way
to get good things done in this
business is to take chances. That's
the trouble with Hollywood--it for
got how to take chances if you
want to achieve anything in the
arts, you can't play it safe!"
I'll say one thing for Bette (that
is about all the opportunity I'd
get), she's gal who takes
chances. She has garnbled at many
turns in her career. After playing
ingenues, she took q flyer on the
unattractive role Of Mildred in "Of
Human Bondage" II started her
on the road to being the screens
top dramatic actress.
She CHANGED a secondary role
in "The Man Who Came to DiHner''
because she felt she needed a
comedy. While most other top
names Stunned television, she did
Ia show with Jimmy Du-
rante and even helped out on the
commercials. She also gambled by
playing a 20-minute part in Phone
Call From a Stranger" last year.
"And where would | be if / had
never left Warners?" she demand
ed. II could have stayed there
another Is years and kept my Sc
curityi"
Right now she's finishing up
"The Star" which is another ex-
ample of her taking a chance. It's
a bitter story of a Hollywood star
who hits the downward trail. No
connection with Bette Davis.
