son has sold hundred and hundreds
of acres in the Everglades acre
age to persons from Northern sta
ties primarily. He has reserved to
himself the oil, gas and mineral
rights.
The low assessment of the Ever
glades land, lowest of any in the
county, and in the state, is borne
out by the low sale prices Axel-
son is getting for his land.
The swamp and mangrove land
is claimed by land experts both
private and public to be valueless
for any future development. It's
value in yielding revenue to Mon
roe County is negligible according
to assessment books in the office
of Tax Assessor Claude Gandolfo.

HOUSING PROJECT

that ''he did not think we owe any,
thing to the city"
But, he added that they had
SET Up the $500 in their opera
ting budget for taxes and they
would be willing to split that
amount between fhe city and
county If their assessment was
reduced to yield fhis figure.
However, DAWN added that
they would pay under protest"
Attorney Clark said that if the
city refused to reduce the assess
ment ''he would be morally obi
gated to the Federal Housing Au-
thority and the Navy to htigate the
matter in the courts. " The FILA
holds a mortgage on the project
and the Navy sets the rents.
Clark maintains that it sis a
special situation and you can't tax
it the same as other real estate. !"
He added that since the city does
not furnish police and fire protec-
ton to the areas concerned, the
projects are bringing more to the
city than the city is to the projects.
But Mayor c. B. Harvey strong
ly argued the validity of this
statement when he pointed out
that it costs the county about
$4,000 to furnish school teach
ers for Navy families residing in
the projects. Although the Navy
does give the school system aid,
he added, it is far short of the
amount needed.
The realtors admitted that
they could pay the higher taxes
if their rents could be increased
but they pointed out that they
are set by the office of the Sec
rotary of the Navy and it IS ex-
tremely doubtful if any jump
would be allowed.
Commissioners John Carbonell
then moved that the request for
a lower assessment be denied
and the tax book was accepted
unanimously.
It is not the first time that
the thorny tax question in con-
nection with the two projects has
arisen. AT the time that they
were being built, Miami tax
expert, w. L. Harris, who made
an appraisal of the property,
ruled that even though the pro-
jects are on government land,
they are private enterprise" and
should be taxed the same as
other realestate in the city.
Only other protest considered
last night was one from L. P.
Artman, Jr., publisher of The
Florida Key Star, who protested
an increase in his assessment. It
was denied by the board.

and a hero worshipper of his

Greenglass, knowing he was fac

Greenglass backed up the gov

to the hilt.
He described Rosenberg as a
man who voluntarily dedicated his
life to the cause of communism.
Greenglass quoted Ethel as telling
his wife in 1914:

geant at the Los Alamos wartime
cradle of atomic fury.
So converSant was Rosenberg
with Americas top secret, Green
glass said, that he was able to
describe the A-bomb in detail sew
en- months before the first one was
dropped on Hiroshima Aug. 6, 1915.
After the first bomb, GreengIass
Swore he gave Rosenberg a r.
page description of the newer,
deadlier A-bomb dropped on Nag
asak.
Greenglass also quoted his broth
er-in-law as boasting of obtaining
information from an unidentified
informant on a projected space
platform--a fantastic satellite to
hover above the earth as a sort
of ethereal battleship.
Greenglass told the jury that he
received detailed instructions from
Rosenberg on how to flee to Rus
STA via Mexico, if it became nee
essary. The government claimed
the Rosenbergs were preparing
such a flight when seized by the
FBI.
There was one other point in
Greenglass' testimony that seemed
rather minor at the time. He told
Of a table in the Rosenberg apart
ment that allegedly was a gift
from the Russians.
Rosenberg later denied this, and
said he bought. the table for about
$21 at Mays department store in
New York City. Long after the
trial, adherents of Rosenberg
claimed that the table indeed
came from Mays where it re-
tailed at about the price Rosenberg
mentioned.
This claimed proof of the tables
humble, non-suspicious origin was
used In legal appeals to attack the
credibility of Greenglass' testi-
mony.
: 1t was also to be charged in the
months to come that Greenglass
was perjurer, who told a far
feebler story at his arrest but doc
tored 1t and enlarged on it with
government prodding so it would
stand up at the trial. But Green
glass never backtracked an inch
from the chilling story he told dur
ing those days in early March OF
1851.
Whether he knew it or not, when
Greenglass stepped down from the
witness stand he had doomed his
sister and her husband. His was
the heart Of the government case.
Mrs. Greenglass corroborated
her husbands story, testifying she
helped induce him to spy at the
urging Of the Rosenbergs.
Then Harry Gold was brought
from prison to swear that the sto.
len atom secrets were .'sent i'm.

berg took the witness stand. Point

ment witnesses. He refused, how.
ever, to answer seven questions
designed to determine If he ever
was Communist, The only clue
to his feelings toward the Sovie,
Union came when he testified:

Mrs. Rosenberg, in turn, backed
up her husbands story. She denied
she ever typed any secret data
intended eventually for Russian
hands.
Sobell did not take the witness
stand.
The jury debated the issues for
10 hours and, on March %, 1851,
found all three defendants guilty.

Greenglass, moaned at the verdict
and cried:
81 blame the Russians for poison
ing my children"
It was expected the Rosenbergs
would get the maximum prison
term Of 80 years. Death for a CT
william American spy was unheard
Of. Only military courts had ever
doomed a federal spy.
But on April S, 1851, the trial
Judge, Irving r. Kaufman, bag
gard from sleepless fretting over
the decision that lay before him,
ascended the bench to pronounce
sentence of death for julius Rosen-
berg and his wife.
"Only the Lord can find mercy
for what you have DONE" said the
42-year-old jurist, Jewish lawyer
with Roman Catholic college ed
ucation.
He looked down on the diminu-
tive woman before him and called
her ga full-nedged partner in this
crime"
And he added of both the Rosen-
bergS:
Love for their cause dominated
their lives. It was even greater
than their love for their children.
Judge Kaufman estimated their
crime in these words:
plain deliberate murder is
dwarfed in magnitude by COMPARE

mitted / believe your conduct
in putting into the hands of the
Russians the A-bomb years before

sion in Korea with the resultant

timel Americans
millions more of innocent peo-
pie may pay the price for your
treason.
Indeed by your betrayal, you
undoubtedly have altered the
course of history to the disadvan-
tage of your country"
Outside the courtroom on Foley
Square that spring day two years
ago, church bells tolled the hour
of noon and their faint peals
echoed between Kaufman's grave
and measured sentences.
SobeIl escaped with 80 years in
prison. In Kaufman's view, his was
lesser role in the conspiracy.
He eventually wound. up in AL
catraz.
Rosenberg and his wife managed
a thin smile for each other. They
sang popular songs and ballads to-
gether in their detention cell i'm
mediately after the sentencing.
Their older boy, Michael. then
eight, said of their punishment
which he so vaguely comprehend
ed:
"They couldn't do anything
wrong. They taught US never to do
anything wrong"
The next day Greenglass was re-
warded for his cooperation in the
case. His wife was cleared of the
threat Of prosecution. He got the
relatively light sentence Of Is
years. kaufman told him:
'You helped us strike a death
blow to the trafficking Of our mil
itary secrets by foreign agents"

TurntobIe Talk

tinguished himself in the title
role of the recent Victor
HMV recording of Boris
Godounoff," holsters his claim
to the Chaliapin mantle with
his newest release.
The record is a collection Of
Russian arias and songs and
it amplifies the growing i'm
preston of ChriStoff as a
singer with not only an un-
usually fine, resonant voice,
but more than ordinary dis
cernment. The arias-from
Tschaikowsky's "Eugen One
gin," Mussorgsky'S "Khovant-
china" and Rimsky-Korsakov's
unfamiliar "Kitezh"-are in
the same stately vein as
Boris" But the songs reveal
Christoff's command of wide
variety of expression. ranging
from the dramatic Field Mar
shall Death" and the somber
THE Grave" by Mussorgsky
to the humorous, imperishable
Song of the Flea" Here is a
magnificent Song of the Volga
Boatmen," too. If anybody
since Chaliapin has sung as
we'll, certainly no one has sung
better.
Gerald Moore's piano &C
compartments for the songs
are exemplary. The Philhar-
monia Orchestra collaborates
effectively in the arias and the
engineering is excellent.
Second Best
All this makes tough compe-
tition for any basso. George
London, already established at
the Metropolitan while Chris
tof for apparently some reas-
ons of politics hasn't reached
this country, seems to have
ranged wider in repertoire, but
to date I think he has probed
less deep. This is the impress
sion, at any rate, from the
latest London disc, an assort-
ment of arias by Wagner. Ber-
lioz, Gounod, Boito and Rubin
stein, in which the notes are
pleasing without always con-
veying all the meaning latent
within them. Where London
challenges Christof directly
in the Song of the Flea"-he
comes off a decided second
best. Columbia's engineers
sometimes overstress the voice
at the expense of the accom-
panying orchestra (the Vienna
Symphony and Metropolitan).
Otherwise the sound is very
good.
Perceptive Singer
Dietrich FiScher-Dieskau, re-
ported on lately for his good
work for Decca in Brahms
-Four Serious Songs" now ap-
pears in Victor-HMV under
taking directed to Beethoven's
AN die ferne Geliebte" cycle
and some Schumann and Schu-
bert. FiScher-DieSkau is a
perceptive singer with a pleas
ant baritone voice which, some
times, one might wish had a
bit more forcefulness. But he
does a sensitive job with
"Staendchen," "Nacht und
Traueme" and Schumann's
"Mondnacht" and a surpris-
ingly intense one with ~Der
Erlkoenig." and the Beethoven
cycle is as good as any other
version available. Gerald Moore
is at the keyboard again.
Barbara Troxell, a soprano
we'll known hereabouts. has a
rather intriguing distinction
in a WCFM issue which itself
has the distinction of having
been recorded here. Miss
TroXell sings two duets-all
by herself. This was accom-
plished. of course, by super
imposing the second vocal part
on a tape recording of the
first. The two duets are part
of a group of songs by Benja-
min Britten which includes
the cycle ION This Island" set
to poems by w. H. Auden.
Nine English songs by Hinde-
mith are on the back. Miss
