The Navy has no doubt done much for Key West

given the Navy much of its best residential area for ugly

lovely Boca Chica where the artists cottages gowed

the fine beaches and shore and much of the old charm

It might be well to remind the Navy that Key West
is free American City Surely there are enough fine

without dctaton from the Navy to how to operate it.

Mr.. Dale had an ace. a single
ton honor in spades and reason

raise to four hearts was auto
matte
Seeing no chance of defeating
that contract, Mr.. Abel at
tempted to sacrifice at five
diamonds but Mr.. Champion was
unwilling to play against that
contract, even though his part
ner had doubled it. He elected
to have a try at five hearts,
which Mr.. Muzzy gleefully
doubled.
The opening lead was the king
Of diamonds which Mr.. Cham
pion ruffed. The ace of spades
was caShed and a small spade
ruffed low in dummy.
A small heart was led to the
ten in the closed hand and Mr..
Abel showed out, discarding the
deuce of clubs. Mr.. Champion
muttered angrily something
about the trumps always being
punched against him.
However, he proceeded to make
the hand, as follows. He led a
small spade and ruffed with
dummy's queen of hearts. Then
he entered his hand by rufding
a diamond. 1t seemed fairly sure
that Mr.. Abel had started with
seven diamonds and if so Mr..
Muzzy was now out of that suit.
Mr.. Champion cashed his last
two hearts. He played the jack
of spades, dropping Mr.. Muzzy's
ten. Now he led another good
spade. Mr.. Muzzy ruffed and led
the jack of clubs. The queen won
this trick and another good
spade lead caused Mr.. Muzzy to
ruff with his last trump. The
ace of clubs on the board then
won the last-and game going
trick.

Air Force Seeks
Requirements For
Half Its Airnen

WASHINGTON, R - The Air
Force is bordering how it can get
qualified requirements within the
next two years for about half of
its airmen now on active duty.
An air official said in an in
terview yesterday many airmen
now in service signed four-year
enlistments shortly after the Ko-
rean war started. The Air Force
then was expanding. Most of them
will be completing their tours
within the next two years.
Even with the expected re-
enlistment of a number Of men,
he said, about $4,000 will have to
be replaced by next July /. An
other 100000 will climb out of uni
forms the following year. The pre-
sent Air Force strength is 977,-
600 - $4,000 enlisted men and
1OI,OOU Oll1CGIS.
The problem is not so much
getting numbers of personnel as
replacing highly trained men with
similarly skilled men.
One headache comes from try
ing to keep constant the flow of
men into the basic training pro-
grams and out Of technical schools.
Expanding and contracting these
programs and schools to meet
changing replacement require
ments costs the Air Force money
and man hours.
The Air sForce recently took
one step in an attempt to clear
the way for a solution. 1t said
it would release, upon request, all
airmen serving in the us. who
have more than three years duty
and who are declared surplus and
have non-skilled job classical
tons.
The Air Force for many months
has been able to recruit all the
men it could possibly use and
even has been able to keep a long
waiting list. Thus, it sees no prob
lem in recruiting enough men to
replace any released ahead of
schedule.

Brownell Will Put
Natl Lawyers Guild
On Subversive List

BOSTON, R-Atty. Gen. Brown
ell said Thursday he proposed to
put the National Lawyers Guild
which he described as the legal
mouthpiece for the Communist
Party - on his list of subversive
organizations.
Brownell made the announce
ment in an address prepared for
the American Bar Association
convention here.
There was no immediate COM
ment from the Lawyers Guild.
The attorney general said he
had served notice on the guild of
its proposed inclusion on the list
which the government uses in
checking the affiliations of feder-
al workers in relation to- their
loyalty and security.
The notice means the guild has
10 days in which to ask for a
hearing if it desires to present evil
dence on why the organization
should not go on the list.
The ABA house of delegates
earlier adopted a resolution de-
claring the Communists should be
barred from the legal profession
in this country.

want to know SO that we can pro-
