The motel men mentioned other forms of entertain

estimated that there more than 80 million men, won-

Leading winter resorts in Florida have been aware of

true Of winter resorts true also of resorts
It was stated that fngerpiers at the Mallory wharf
would interfere with the handling of ferry ferries
operating between Key West and Havana Should that
joyful day for Key Westers to pass the piers
be removed.
But Key Westers have had their hopes raised high
ana then dasned TO earth by proposals supposed
posas to run ferries between the Cuban capital and Key
West The Citizen recalls that in the fall of 1941 it pub
shed its first story about what looked like certainty
that it would not be long before a Key West-Havana
ferry would be in operation In that year. the late Ste
phen Cochrane Singleton then secretary of the Key West
Chamber OF Commerce, showed Citizen reporter let
ter he had received from the president of the
lantc Transportation Company In that letter. the pres
dent said he hoped to have the ferry operating by June
of 1916.
Eight and one-haf years have passed since copy
of that letter published in The Citizen and during
that time we have had many brilliant flare-ups about the
supposed coming of ferry The Carbe Queen was CLAM

Yes, let continue to hope we will get ferry but

vote $8.5 billion less than the
$72.9 billion in new appropria-
tions former President Truman
had recommended for the coming
year.
Noting that President Truman
had predicted the Nation will go
into the red 500 billion in the
new fiscal year. Gen. Eisenhower
said it just wouldn't be possible
to wipe this out because of COM
mitments already made-largely
for military equipment.
Many Agencies SlaShed.
Although the President gave
no figures on the overall appro-
priations cut, members of Con-
gress said about SIS billion less
would be asked in new money
for the military, $1.8 billion less
for foreign aid, $1.2 billion less
for domestic affairs and 5000
million or $500 million less for
atomic developments.
Despite the Presidents state
ment, Senator Taft said figures
supplied to the lawmakers at an
earlier White House conference
certainly gives us hope there
might be balanced budget"
Chairman Bridges of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee said the $8.5 billion estimate
was "just preliminary" in the
way of appropriations reduc-
tionS. ......
There is a chance of balanc-
ing the budget and an effort will
be made to balance it," he said.
Deeper Cuts Possible.
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee also
said the House might make
deeper cuts in money bills than
Gen. Eisenhower planned.
Mr.. Taber said he still thought
the reduction in appropriations
might be $40 billion under Mr..
Truman's requests.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, an Appropriations
Committee member, said he was
not at all surprised that the adj
ministration had found it will
be difficult to balance the budget.
I'LL be with the President if
he asks for restoration of those
taxes that expire this year." Sem
ator Ellender said. 1--WE can't
go on with these deficits"

President Eisenhower contends
America will hasten its military
buildup next year despite a re-
duction in spending and with a
radical" change from fixed tar
get dates to a long-haul program.
If the armed forces were wor-
ried about a reported big cut in
spending for the fiscal year
starting July 1-most of it in
military and foreign aid funds
they could take some heart from
Gen. Eisenhower's words.
In a news conference state
ment at the White House, Gen.
Eisenhower called former Presi-
dent Truman's military blue
print a crazy quilt" He said
his administration is scrapping
the idea that the West should
be ready for possible Russian at
tack in 1854 or 1855 in favor OF
gradual program.
Predicts Quicker Buildup.
The President was asked if the
armed forces would be reduced,
in view of Capitol Hill reports
that spending would be cut.
Gen. Eisenhower replied he
couldn't tell regarding long
range detectives but that he
could say: There will be more
buildup in "a than was possible
under the operations and activ-
tiles as they were proceeding in
January, when the new admin
istration took over.
This, the President said, was
possible because of shortening
of lead timeS-the period be-
tween the designing of a weapon
and the start of volume produc-
tion-and concentration on crit
ical areas and items. He did not
elaborate on the latter.
At another point, Gen. Eisen-
hover was asked if there would
be buildup in all three serv-
ices-the Army, Navy and Air
Force. He said he should think
so.
Differ on Spending Rates.
Some one wanted to know if
the shortening of lead times
wouldn't mean defense expendi-
lures would be greater during
the next several months. That
was probably true. the President
replied.

AbOlishes Boards.
Similarly, Gen. Eisenhower
went after the oftimes free
wheeling and unwieldly depart
ment boards.
The Munitions Board, Re-
search and Development Board,
Defense Supply Management
Agency and the office of Director
Of Installations would be abol-
iShed.
In their place would be created
three assistant secretaries di-
rectly responsible to the secre-
ta1y. Two other assistant sccre-
taries also would be created to
replace unSpecified individual of
tlcialS who presently hold other
titles and one to be assigned to
position formerly but no longer
filled by an assistant secretary
legislative liaison. In effect there
would be executive vice presi-
dents" in charge of certain OPP
erations.
The proposal would give the
secretary a ball team" of as
sistant secretaries since there
already are three. 1t was learned,
however, Mr.. Wilson had sought
creation of five or six other as
sistant secretaryships.
Wants TOp-Flight Men.
Mr.. Wilson wants the positions
to bring still more big business
men into the department and
Gen. Eisenhower commented it
would mean that executives of
the highest type" could be OBJ
tanned.
In addition, the general coun-
sci would be raised to a rank
comparable to that of an assist
ant secretary. The present coun-
sci, Roger Kent, resigned that
post today so Mr.. Wilson could
obtain a man of his own choos-
ing"
The plan carried out many of
the recommendations made by
Former Secretary Of Defense
Robert A. Lovett upon leaving
office. It also was said to en-
body many of the proposals of
the Nelson Rockefeller reorgan-
ization committee, whose report
to Mr.. Wilson is set for release
Saturday.

with a spending rate of about

There seemed to be some dis

Wilson several weeks ago that it
was his intention to level off de-

Blasts Planning Premise.
. In a statement read at the
start of his news conference that
Gen. Eisenhower blasted what he
called a crazy quilt of promises,
commitments, and contracts"
growing out of defense planning
on the assumption Russia would
have the air strength by 1854 or
1855 to launch an atomic attack.
The President said he does not
admit anyone can predict in what
year such an attack might come.
He said he was sure the Ameri-
can people would see the differ
ence between a quiet, steady,
long-term improvement in their
defense position and the tenn
pests stirred up by public argu-
ment over the artificial arith-
metic which is so easy to produce
in the defense field"
THE essence of the change is
this" he said. I'VE reject the
idea that we must build up to a
maximum attainable strength for
some specific date theoretically
fixed for a specified time in the
future.
defense is a matter Of
adequate protection to be pro-
jected as far into the future as
the actions and apparent pur-
poses of others may compel U.s."

Republicans Burning Money
At Less Cost Than Democrats

The Republicans are burning
money just about as fast as the
Democrats did. In this case,
though, they say it's all right.
Actually. Treasury officials say,
they're saving about 100000
annually in the regular job of
destroying the Nations $780,
100000 worth of old bills every
year. They've achieved the saw
ing by transferring most of the
burning operation to the IL Fed
eral Reserve banks and their
branch banks throughout the
country.
This saves bundling and mail
ing. a complicated process in
which the old bills were cut in
half, bundled and then shipped
to Washington in two separate
packages.
The Treasury reports that
most of the money destroyed is
in the form of one-dollar bills,
which wear out in about 10
months of constant usage. The
Treasury still handles the burn
ing of approximately $3.50 mil
lion worth of larger denomina-
tion bills.
Since the changeover to the
Federal Reserve banks in July,

naces in Boston, New York,

John Wayne's Wife
Gets S1,1OO a Month
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

LOS ANGELES, June 5.-John
Wayne's estranged wife, who
says she needs $3.50 monthly
to live in the style to which she's
accustomed, will have to do with
about one ninth of that-$1, 100
a month.
The former Esperanza Bauer,
80, ex-actress in Mexican movies,
bit her lip and blanched as the
judge read his decision yester-
day after a 15-day temporary
alimony hearing.
Mr.. Wayne, 44-year-old film
box Office favorite, grinned.
Teen-agers packing the court
room applauded and, with sec
retaries and stenographers TAX
ing a few minutes away from
their desks in the hall of records,
mobbed him in the hall.
Mr.. Wayne said he would leave
by plane today for Mexico to
start co-producing a movie after
$4,000 worth of delays oc-
casioned by the hearing.
His wife had asked $4,000 to
compensate two former attorneys
and her present lawyer. Superior
Judge William r. Mckay
awarded her $4,000.
She had sought $35 900 to hire
detectives. auditors and other
aides in preparation for trial of
her separate-maintenance suit
in october. The judge allowed
her $2,500. Mr.. Wayne has
countersued for divorce.
