Senator Smathers Tells
Of Soviet Peace Threat
Says 81 Is The
Year Of Decision
For World Peace

Continued prosperity In
1854 depends chiefly on
whether or not the United
States becomes involved in
World War III with the Sow
let Union," Senator George
SmatherS told a breakfast
meeting of the Key West
Lions Club this morning.
! Smathers made that COM
ment in support of his stand
against a reduction of milf
tary spending for the COM
ing year and further added
that the other big factor in
maintaining a healthy econ
omy is mot allowing our
selves to be talked into a de-
preston"
81 was The only Florida Senator
to vote against curtailing the mill
tary budget - and I'll continue
TO do so, he said.
/ "The appearance Of lowering our
guard might trigger a Russian A.
bomb assault which would result in
a much larger blow TO our eeono-
N.Y." he added. ''We wouldn't be
concerned about profits and taxes
in that event - we'd be worried
about staying alive"
In a stern warning, the Senator
commented that in the event the
Soviet Union launched q 100 plans
,Abomb attack - ". mslsissy :.
ders hare stated that American de-
lenses would be able to shoot down
only 30 of them. And we know
that they now have the A-bomb,"
ISmathers said.
He cited a statement from the
Joint Chiefs of Staff which said
that 1854 is the year that Russia
could strike If they are so inclined.

he win strike" he declared. "The
lonly thing that keeps him from

inized the error they made In cut

Smsthers also pointed out As
role that Key West and the state
lof Florida plays In the national
defense effort. He said that Florida

second week today as negotiators

efforts 10 resolve q deadIocked
wage dispute between publishers
and photo-engravers.
Nv Workers seemed increas-
ingly lost without any major local
daily to read, although television
and radio has been striving to fill
the news vacuum created by the
walkout which started last Satur-
day.
After yesterdays negotiation
meetings all parties reported "ab-
solutely no change" In the situa-
ton.
Later in the day, officials of
striking Local / of the ALL Inter-
national Photo Engrsvers Union
and other unions affected by the
walkout held two.hour session.
After it ended Thomas Murphy,
executive vice president of CLIO
Newspaper Guild Local 3 CON-
mented:
Things look no better today
than last week and they were bad
then"
Federal Mediator Walter A.
Maggiolo set another mediation
meeting for II am. tEST) today.
The strike, especially during this
pre-holiday season, has caused
losses in merchandising, adver-
Using and wages running into
many millions of dollars.
The fact that the nations larg.

part:

strued by the publishers to mean

"Some of the papers in New

that two papers which previously

James NJ. Barrie was a shy,
taciturn man who could sit
for hours without uttering a

ner, he was asked by the
host to entertain a young
lady seated next to him,
Finding herself beside the
illustrious author, she was
quite speechless herself. For
the first ten minutes, not a
syllable was exchanged.
Then, in an attempt to
make conversation, Barrie
softly inquired:

His companion continued
to nibble on the potato in

I'm the last 10 years, let us

Words that have never been
broken up in living memory are
hyphenated. Is that right?
Words such as non-essential,
non committal, nonresident.
Why break up solid words we
learned as kids just because of
a newfound love for hyphena-

All were played by Mr.. Truck.
Mr.. Truck is a true expert-a
real, live master who plays in
and wins many tournaments ev-
cry year. He has won interna-
tional as well as national titles.
He has written an excellent book
on the game.
You would probably recognize
his real name. He is good
friend of mine and to keep it
that way am identifying him
simply as Mr.. Truck.
See how he was fixed in to-
days hand by simple overcall.
What would you do with his
cards If your partner opened the
bidding first hand with a heart
and second hand came in with
a o-diamond bid? Hard to
stay out of the auction, isn't it?
Yet getting into the auction
turned out to be murder.
Mr.. Truck refused to be shut
out by the overcall. Following
the usually commendable prac-
tice of describing the nature of
his hand. he made a series of
bids which eventually landed his
side in game. And note none of
his bids could be passed. Each
one forced Mrs. Keen to bid
pnce more.
When the auction reached the
three no trump stage, Mr.. Dale
doubled. His partner opened the
Jack of diamonds and he won
with the ace and returned the
nine, clearing the suit.
Mrs. Keen won the second dia-
mond and led a club. Mr.. Abel
went in with the ace, cashed
five diamond tricks then led a
heart to Mr.. Dale'S ace. Down
four-eleven hundred points.
Reaching game freely when
there is no chance of even max
ing your book. This can't hap
pen to Mr.. Truck. But it did.
The killer was the diamond
overcaH-a routine bid, certainly
made with no thought of being
brilliant. Yet it threw the
North-South bidding completely
out of joint. 1t put Mr.. Truck
on a deadly spot. giving him the
option of passing good hand
and possibly losing a laydown
game or entering the bidding
and risking a damaging set.
