.O'Bryant Says Firing Final;

Fired BY supi.,
]. Y. Porter Says

The smoke of battle hoyers over
the Board of Public Instruction
this morning following last nights
three hour fight on retention or
firing of Leland March, General
Supervisor of instruction and Ran
dolph Russell, principal of Harris
School.
Superintendent Horace O'Bryant
satated emphatically to The Cit.
zen:
80 far as ! am concerned the
matter is settled. The board has
acted and the attorney has ruled
that The two men could not be
hired over my objection"
Flatly contradicting o'Bryant
was J. Y. Porter who is repre-
senting March in the battle.
Porter said:
Sin my opinion that is not so,
because as | understand it if the
Superintendent makes nominal
ton which is not approved by the
Trustees, and he makes second
and third nominations which are
not approved. then in that event
the School Board is authorized to
elect persons of their own choice.
If this is not so, then obviously
the school board and the Board
Of Trustees are simply rubber
stamps.
Sam pinder, Sr.. chairman of
the Board Of Trustees which H.
commended continuation of March
and Russell said:
"Our Recommendation sticks,
you can quote me on that,
Porter cited the following law
which he said backs up his con-
tention that the School Board can
act to keep March and Russell, If

Key Westers Missing At Sea Since
Saturday In - Foot Fishing Boat
Jimmie Garcia,
Broward Saunders
Sought BY &C. Navy
In Florida Bay

Coast Guard and Navy boats.
planes, blimps and helicopters are
searching in Florida bay for miss
ing Jimmie Garcia of 1914 Packer
Street, skipper of the 32-foot Wasp,
commercial fishing boat, and his
crew of one, Broward Saunders, AZ,
native Key Wester.
The two men have been over
due since Saturday, according 10
the Coast Guard, which began
IFS search in the direction Of fhe
Dry Tortusas because fhe men
said they were going to fish in
40 fathoms Of wafer for red snap
per.
Today, however, the search was
shifted to the Florida bay north Of
the Keys, on further information
given officials.
MRS. Garcia, mother Of an
eighf-YeaF-old boy and four
and one-hslf-monsh-old Girl. told
The Citizen:
my husband is > good skip.
per. hope he's all right"
Both men are said to be ex-
perienced boat handlers, and that
there must have been structural
trouble in the Wasp. II was known
that her bottom was not In good
condition.
The Coast Guard was not notk
lied Of he missing h9at Aufii aies
day. Thompson Enterufises and
Mrs. Garcia had not thought il
unusual that the men were over
due, since fishermen are often
later than they originally plan.
AS soon as 1t. Glenn Pearson.
Coast Guard commander, was noti-
fled, he asked for Coast Guard
planes out Of Miami to conduct the
search. The local CG 40-foot boat
was sent out in the direction Of the
Marquesas and Tortugas, where
the Wasp had supposedly gone.
Today with the new lnfeFHa-
sion that they might have gene
fishing off the Bay Keys. The
Coast Guard directed that the
search be shifted 10 the Bay and
sent cut rs S3-fcoter for the
missing bosf.
The search is made more diff
cult by the rough seas which have
sent small craft warnings up again
today.
The men left Key West last FRI
day at 3 O'Clock in the morning On
Garcia's boat. They have no ship
to-shore radio aboard. Their sole
aim was 10 fish for red snapper.
which Ii. Pearson said they plan
ned TO do in deep waters.
Saunders. who was born and
reared in Key West, lives al 900
N. w. 49th Street. Miami. The
Saunderses have four girls.
Private boats and planes have
joined the search.
In 4 telephone conversation,
AIRS. Saunders said in Mianni that
she '.lives IN the hope that her
husband IS safe somewhere in
the area Of the Florida Keys.

Ferry Venture
Still Insure
OnCubanSi
Consejo Consultivo
Differs With Batista's
Views On Operation
BY RAoUL ALPIzAR Pogo
Citizen Staff Writer


Citizen Staff Writer
Although President Ba-
tista has stressed that he
feels that ferry service be-
tween Havana and Key West
w 0 uld prove beneficial,
there is still doubt that the
ferry will come into being at
this time.
After recent very hot discussions
in Cuba's conseio consultivo 1.-THE
body which succeeded the late Gu
ban Congressl the members Of that
group unanimously agreed that the
transaction between the Atlantic
Gulf Transportation Company Of
Jacksonville and the Cuba Banco
Agricola y Industrial (BANFAIl
c0nstihitesSa great risk to Cuba.
They based their agreement on the
fact that the CATO IS responsible
only to the extent Of the value Of
the boat which would be used in
the ferry service.
The Cuban Banks Investment
would be more than 50 ,o0o, 900
while that Of fhe CATO would be
emily half that amount.
IN the event the transaction
should prove successful. Cuba
would receive only a small profit
for its big investment while the
CATO would. with little risk, be in
position to obtain a large profit
from q small investment.
Il. on the other hand. The VEN
ture should fail, Cuba would lose
about s.. 40o. 900. with tha loss 10
CATO being eaiy The value Of
the beat, which Is estimated a.
about sl.2oo. 900.
Because q the uncertainty Of
success and the money involved,
the Consejo Consultiv0 declared
that il feels that the ferry venture
is TOO great a risk for Cuba to take
at this time. They indicated that
al some future time they may a.
gain take up the ferry project.
giving attention to d proposition
which would be more beneficial to
cuba's economic interest.

MURIEL RAIN IN
"CARMEN JONES"
COMING TO
MIAMI

The PTA of Douglas Elemen-
tary School is presenting the
Broadway production. Carmen
Jones" which also stars Miami's
own Kelsey Pharr, Jr., at the
Dade County Auditorium at 300
pm. on Tuesday. Nov. "a.
All of the songs, dialogue, dra-
ma, comedy and satire of the
original Broadway show is in
Guided in this version, and, it is
done in costume. Moreover. the
original star of the Broadway
production. Muriel Rain, is
carrying on in this company just
as she did for 1874 performances
in New York, a few years ago.
Carmen Jones" itself is an at
traction of great magnitude. It is
a magnificent paraphaSe of the
traditional Carmen" with diff
ferent names. The LOCALE is trans
ferred from Spain to below the
Mason-Dixon Line, and the time
pushed forward to the days of
World War II. The plot is basi-
cally the same and the human
passions involved are no differ
ent whether the events occur out
side a cigarette factory as in the
original Carmen" or a parachute
factory as in the Oscar Hammer
stein version.
Nor does it matter that the
Gypsy. Carmen, becomes the
brown-skinned Carmen Jones;
that Don Jose, the Spanish COR
poral of the Dragons becomes
Corporal Joe, a CT; that Escamil-
10, the bull fighter, becomes Hus-
ky Miller, the prize fighter; and
the faithful and devoted Micaela
emerges as Cindy Lou. These four
principals carry the burden of the
performance and are outstanding
in a cast of exceptional voices
and talents of note.
The prices of admission are
$3.50, $500, $3.50 and $500.
Tickets are available at the Dade
County Auditorium, Brownsville
Drug Store, Club Alabam, Cor
delia's Book Shop, Town and
Country Grill, Down Town Bar
Der Shop and Miami Beach Radio
Company.
