Bank Has Biggest Year In History
In Deposits Assets And Expansion
Pres. Trevor Says
Banks Prosperity
Reflects Key Vest
Financial Growth
BY SUSAN MeAVoY

The year 1852 was the
period of the greatest exc
pansion in the history of
the Florida National Bank
in Key West, President Jer-
ry J. Trevor said today.
Trevor released his an
nual Statement of condi.
ton" of the prosperous,
conservative bank on Sat
urday.
Chief index Of the growing
prosperity Of the bank and Of
Key West Is ihe increase in de-
posts by almost z million dollars
between fhe two years. In 1851
deposits were SS,ST7, a7e. In the
u months just passed they rose
TO $ll.S5I,ls9.
"ThiS reflects growth for the
community and better financial
situation" Trevor said.
Another index Of the banks
and Key Vests prosperity Is the
increase in bank assets Of more
than 5000, 900. In 1851 assets
were slo,67S,a32. They rose TO
$l2,T26.sls in 1857.
Still another sign Of expansion
in the city and county is shown
by the increase in capital stock,
surplus and undivided profits
from S59S, AS to $646, 4OS.
The increase of loans and dis
counts though slight between the
two years, from Sl,007 ,S37 10
81. 600 .2Ss Is nonetheless signifi-
cans, Trevor sid. because il
shows business activity in the
community.
The year 1881. most menor.
able in the banks history was
a year az physical ex7easien as
we'll as financial expansion.
The bank added its new build.
ing, air-conditioned. modern, and
equipped for faster banking opera
tons. The banking facility at the
Navy Yard was opened. The park
ing lot was added on Front and
Duyal street for the convenience
OF customers.
Unlike Miami Beach which is
showing a drop in real estate
sales over 1851. Key West and the
Keys are maintaining a steady
climb Of business growth. Much
new building. Naval base expan-
sion. heavy tourist business are
ali factors in the Keys and Key
West boom.

Council Votes
Big Budget at
Mayor Declares
Approval Doesn't
Meun Anything

Alexandria has $6.5 million
capital improvements budget set
up for the 1854 fiscal year,
but city officials hope nobody
takes it too seriously.
The City Council went through
the motions Of adopting the
budget last night, as provided by
the charter. But the charter
does not require the Council to
put up any money for the
budget.
One councilman. Frank Mann,
refused to vote for it.
II object to calling it a
budget" he said. 1--WE shouldn't
adopt something like this and
have the people think they're
going to get all these things"
Requirement Cited.
Vice Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
said the charter required such
procedure and it had to be done.
well. there's nothing in the
charter that says I have to vote
for it," said Mr.. Mann as he
re-affirmed his nay vote.
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley
agreed that the Councils action
didn't mean anything.
A majority of the projects set
up in the budget. however, al
ready have been financed. This
includes about SAT million from
existing bond issues and 1896, 500
set up in the 1854 operating
budget for capital improvements.
Projects covered by these
amounts include such things as
the new high school for the
annexed area, two new elemen-
tary schools and sums for new
streets.
Barber Ordinance Advanced.
The Council voted to advertise
ANEW ordinance regulating the
operation of barber shops in the
city for the first time. The
ordinance would establish a
board of barber examiners, COM
posed of the health officer and
two BARRIERS. BARRIERS would be
required to pass examinations
and obtain certificates of regis
tration from the board.
Apprentice BARRIERS would be
required to serve a three month

now are open five days a week
from 8 am. to 5 pm, and en-
ployes have time off for lunch,

on possibly reducing the work
week of police and f1remen to
40 hours. Police work a 48-hour
week and f1remen work 72 hours.
Mayor Beverley also asked
Mr.. Willard to do something
about reducing the fire hazard

Guard AA Gunners
Apply Korea Lesson,
Learn Rifle Tactics
By Joseph B. Byrnes
Stor StoH Correspondent

| Star Staff Correspondent
FORT MILES, Del, July g.
Experience gained on the Korean
battlefields was put to good use
today by the District Nationa
Guard.
Men Of the 260th Anti-Aircraft
Artillery Group. the largest single
component of the guard, were
brought from their firing range
20 miles south of here to &c
through some basic infantry
training.
The move was a departure
from practices in the past. Col
Robert F. Cocklin, chief of staff
explained that lessons learned in
Korea made the shift practicable
Close to Front Lines.
Col. Cocklin said information
received from the Far East in
dicated the need for artillery
men to be able to defend them
selves with small arms, He said
the character Of the war there
was such that anti-aircraft guns
were so close to the front lines
that they were subject to attack
by scouting parties.
Because of this the artillery
men today went through a
period Of transition firing
This consists Of the men hiding
themselves in the sand dunes
and trying to crawl undetected
toward a rifle range.
The targets at which they
shoot are silhouettes of men
Without warning, the figures are
pushed into view and the men
begin firing.
For artillerymen used to firing
Comm. anti-aircraft guns, the
members of the 260th group did
not do too badly.
The program today is one OF
the most intensive Of the two
week schedule. All units, ap-
proximately 900 men, were to
spend the first part of the day
, on the rifle range and will take
part in night maneuvers as soon
as darkness sets in.
A picked unit, Stimulating a
wartime scouting party, will at
tempt to attack the rest of the
guardsmen, who will be hidden
on large sand dune close to the
scene.
Fog Hampers Training.
Training yesterday was slowed
down by a pea-soup fog that
rolled in from the Atlantic. The
fog and salt air has been giving
Washington's citizen soldiers
some trouble. Two of the busiest
men here are Capt. John A.
Vivori, jr., of 715 Congress street
Sc, motor officer for the 260th,
and his right-hand man, Sergt.
Bernard v. Myles, of 1919 Fourth
street Sc.
The trouble-shooters have been
kept busy constantly checking
the ignition and carburetor sys-
TENS Of some $50 vehicles. Capt.
Vivori said the damp air here
has affected the operation of
the equipment.
Firing of the big guns will get
! under way tomorrow. Several
RCAT-target planes-have been
assembled. In addition, an Air
Force plane which will tow a
sleeve target has been readied.
Firing will be done on a
strictly visual basis for safety
reasons. Col. Cocklin and Col.
George v. Selwyn of the 260th
group, said regulations prohibit
the Guardsmen from using ra-
dar to fire at invisible targets
for fear a civilian or military
plane off course might be struck.
Also scheduled for tomorrow
as firing gets under way is a
visit by Maj. Gen. Leslie D. Car
ter, commanding general of the

Hits Free Dances;
Republicans Press
Campaign in Tolks
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, July p State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick has
accused his opponent in next
Tuesdays gubernatorial Demo-
cratic primary, Thomas B. Stan
ley, Of attempts to buy the
governorship of Virginia with
luncheons, barbecues. prime roast
beef dinners and free dances"
Mr.. Fenwick made the charge
in a radio and television speech
in Norfolk.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Stanley, a for
mer Representative, was in his
home district. ready to make a
quick trip into any area his
managers feel might be advisable
during the final days Of the cam
paign.
Republicans Press Drive.
State Republicans, without
waiting for the outcome of the
Democratic primary, pressed
their drive for victory in She
November general election.
The G. o. p. candidate for
Governor, Ted r. Dalton of Rad
ford, Joined other party leaders
in filmed telecasts over a num-
ber Of stations last night, in
Guiding WTTG in Washington.
Mr.. Dalton said he believes the
people of the State want the poll
tax repealed, and he said, 1--WE
should delay no longer"
Also urged by the G. o. P.
candidate was a program to give
voting privileges to 18-year-olds.
He said he will strive to econ
omize and bring the States
schools closer to the people by
the election of school boards by
the people.
Reviews Fenwick Plan.
Mr.. Fenwick, in his Norfolk
speech, again reviewed his Fen
wick Plan" to develop the States
industrial and farm economy. He
said Virginia is not getting it's
share Of new business invest
mentS.
The Arlington senator said he
is convinced that Virginia can
not pull herself up by her boot
straps cannot meet her
school needs, her highway needs,
her health needs, without in
creasing the income of her
people"
Then, in a summing up Of his
campaign, Mr.. Fenwick said he
had met the issues, told the
people where I stand.
II have given you a definite
plan to improve our schools. I
have told you to the dollar how
much we can raise the State
minimum salary for teachers
without increasing taxes, and
exactly where the money is COM
ing from. I have told you how
we are going to get additional
funds for school construction.
Opposes Gas Rise Tax.
II have told you why op-
pose the two-cent increase in
gasoline taxes and what I in
tend to do to improve our sec
ondary and primary highways.
I have told you that the State
should place its budget on a
more businesslike basis rather
try to anticipate its needs and
revenues two and one-half years
in advance.
II have told you that I feel
that a referendum should be
submitted to the people on the
question of the poll tax, a ref
erendum in the simplest pos
sible terms. There is no doubt
where I stand on this issue.
My record is clear. I was one
of II Senators who voted to
place this issue before the peo-
pie. And I assure you that one
of my first acts as governor will
be to request the legislature
to give you the opportunity to
vote on this question"
