saw Ernest Rivero on Fleming

tired grocer who, with his brother
and father built a corner grocery
store into an establishment gross
ing over million dollars before
they sold out to the Margaret Ann

from the University of Miami law

New Yorker fame aboard. Don't
be surprised if federal agents move
in on a Duval Street house soon.
It's narcotics. We wonder if the

to hit Key West, really believe
what they say about people like

is making progress in their probe
into corruption in Key West in
spite of themselves.
Although their low-pressure in
vestigative tactics indicate an OBJ
vious diStaste for the task by all
but two or three members of the
group, they have been unsuceSs-
full so far in keeping witnesses
from talking.
They breathed a collective sigh
of relief Wednesday when 2 wit
nesses did not show up, only to
discover that one of their number
had summoned two more wit
nesses" to appear.
We wouldn't want TO suggest that
those of the committee who are
politicians are trying to soft-pedal
the probe - but they sure give
that impression.
There may be some interesting
developments yet if they keep on
playing with fire. What happened
to the grand jury, anyhow?
Dollar Dilemma
It's pretty apparent that Key
West needs a new city hall.
The town is also ripe for a few
other capital improvements -
municipal auditorium, a swimming
pool and, although opinion is di-
vided on this matter, an incinera-
tor would be a real advantage.
What to do? The problem of
which project the city should tackle
first and how we are going to pay
for it will have to be faced, sooner
or later.
It's up to the city commission to
decide. But, old Demon Politics al
ways rearS his head just about the
time they start discussing the mat
ter. Commission is always ac-
cuSed, often unjustly, of having
some pet project or of yielding to
pressure from some person or
group. Result: No action.
But / heard one suggestion the
other day which has real merit.
Why not form a municipal i'm
provement committee.
\ Each civic group and service
club in the city could appoint one
member to serve on the board. A
prerequisite would be that the ap-
pointee should never have sought
political Office. Information con-
corning the proposed improve
ments and data as to how they
might be financed could be placed
at their disposal.
Their recommendations ought to
help the city commission in its
deliberations.
Everyone would be happy. I
think.
I've even got an idea on how the
projects could be paid for.
According to estimates, the four
chief projects would cost some
thing like $75O,0OO
There are four practical ways in
which they could be financed:
A bond issue, ad valorem taxa,
ton, city sales taxaor a utility
tax.
I think a utility tax is the ans.
wer. You may not. Let me know
about it.
The city commission certainly
would be unpopular if they slapped
such a tax on Key Westers, but
think that in the long run, we'C
learn that they took the right step
1t wouldn't be as grim as it sounds
A lot of Florida communities have
such a tax and they are happy
about it Or as happy as anyone
can be about taxes
A utility tax, it has been est
mated, would produce something
ike $225,OO0 annually. That mean.
we could pay for our improve
ments in less than four years ant
be debt free.
Such a tax would spread the Loaf
fairly and equally over the entir
cItizenry - not just freeholders a
is the case now. As in other cities
the tax could be assessed on

Magsaysay Leading
In PHILIPPINE Votes

MANILA wednesday,, R -
Challenger Ramon Magsaysay to-
day took an expected early lead in
Manila over President Elpidio
Quirino in apparently the least
violent presidential election in the
republics seven year history.
Eight persons were reported
slain by gunfire and stabbing dur
ing the balloting yesterday. In the
last presidential election in 1949
there were Is reported killed and
scores injured.
Election officials said they do
not expect decisive results for
about three days.
However, Philippines News Ser
vice said the trend looks like a
nationwide landslide" for Mag
saysay, the ex-guerrilla fighter
who quit his job as defense secre-
tary unQer CQu1r1nO last spring.
The first complete, unofficial re
turns from 1877 Of Manila's 1900
precincts showed Magsaysay 49,
944 and Quirino 1855. Manila was
expected to be in the Magsaysay
fold.
Other sparse returns from the
provinces gave Magsaysay a total
Of 31,7O7 and Quirino 1O,625-only
a tiny fraction of the islands total.
i :
Youthful Ramon Magsaysay to-
day took a commanding lead over
President Elpidio Quirino in the
Philippines presidential race and
appeared to have unseated the
aging, ailing chief executive.

FWS Decides On
TwO-Year Closure
OF SalmOnCrOu

SEATTLE, pa us. Fish and
Wildlife Service decision to rec
ommend a two-year closure of
fishing in the open area Of Prince
William Sound and to cut by so
percent the reflective fishing eff
fort" in Cook Inlet and southeast
ern Alaska was announced here
last night.
John L. Farley, the FWS direc-
tor, said the cut in the two latter
areas is proposed by reducing fish
ing gear and by stricter limiting
Of fishing area. 1t would involve
the creating of new mo fishing
zones and generally doubling of
such sanctuaries around the
mouths Of spawning streams. De-
tails remain to be worked out.
Farley emphasized that the FWS
decisions do not constitute new
regulations, but will only be rec
concentrations to the secretary of
the interior.
The move to cut down on the
catch of the once-rich salmon runs
follows a fishing season which
has been described generally as
the most disastrous in Alaska his

Nursing Essential
Says Congresswoman

Washington To maintain
nursing as an essential public SER
vice on a sound vocational and
economic basis, Congressman
Frances P. Bolton (R) 22nd Dist
rict of Ohio, put forward a six
point program to accomplish these
ends.
Speaking at Chillicothe, Ohio,
before large gathering essembl-
ed at the Veterans Administration
Hospital to observe National Hos
pital Day and commemorate the
133 anniversary of the birth of
Florence Nightingale, Mrs. Bolton
outlined her program as follows:
ID Give economic security to
nurses commensurate with their
responsibilities and professional
training.
(2) Establish uniformity of
State laws to eliminate confusion
M ACciiSlliS VI HuIScS.
CD Supplement and expand
present counselling and placement
service for nurses on a profession
al basis in all States and local
communities to ensure best dis
tribution of nursing service.
(4 Intensity present recruit
ment methods necessary to the
health of the public, establishing
a well-planned recruiting and en-
rollment service. This must be
done on large scale with full
public cooperation and support.
(5) Nurses, thru their official,
professional organization, tn e
American Nurses Association, re-
cognize their responsibility to pro-
vide good nursing service. They
must continue to give superior
service and make their efforts
known to the public.
t6) The public must be educat-
ed to the Importance of the nurse
in maintaining the health of the
American people. This will ensure
public support or measures in the
interest of nurses. Community re-
sponsibility is an essential part of
such a program.
Congressman Bolton pointed out
that the Veterans Administration,
through its nationwide commun-
: ity nrogram, already has demon
strated how effective such CO.
operation is in improving the health
