State Supreme Court Decides
On 3 Monroe County Cases
Propane Co.
Is Held To XIV.
Ice Co. Purchase

The State Supreme Court
yesterday handed down de-
cisions involving three cases
that originated in the Mon
roe County Circuit Court.
The high court dismissed
an appeal from the Circuit
Court in the case of Donald
Joseph Mooney versus the
State because it is frivol-
ous." Mooney was convicted
of car theft and was repre-
scented by Thomas Edison
Lee.
In another case, the Supreme
Court granted dertiorsri in James
T. Benn versus the Key West Pro-
pane Gas Corp.
5000 Purchase Price
This case involved the purchase
of all the stock in the Key West
Ice Co., Inc, for $4,000. The pur-
chaser, the Propane Company, can
celled the stock-purchase contract
on grounds that the sellers had
made false statements about the
plants condition and earnings.
The high court said the purchas-
err had waited too long to make the
complaint.
J. Fritz Gordon and Joseph Par
do, Hunt, Salley and Roman, and
Theed and Theed represented Benn
and others. Choat and Sinclair re-
presented the Propane Company.
Land Sale Case
In the case of Sam Kay versus
the Key West Development Co., in
yolving a land sale, the Supreme
Court reversed the Monroe Circuit
Court.
The Supreme Court said there
appears to be a "hopeless dead
lock" between the parties, each
holding 50 per cent of the voting
power of the corporation.
The court said it sees no reason
why the Circuit Court can not give
relief under the broad equity pow

Communists Are
Sure To Reject
5. Korea Demands
BY EDDIE GILMORE

GENEVA (AP) - South
Korea finally agreed today
to elections throughout di-
vided Korea but laid down
conditions which the Com
munists are sure to reject.
In a speech before the
l9-nation conference on Kor-
can peace, South Korean
Foreign Minister Pyun Yung
tai outlined a 14-point plan
afor the. unification of his
countrvapd the Communist
controlled North.
At least Two of the conditions he
set fortf for the all-Korean cleo

sula.
Agreement Asked
Pyun called for an agreement
that 1.-THE integrity and independ.
ence of the unified, independent and
democratic Korea shall be guaran-
teed by the United Nations"
Another provision of the South
Korean plan would assure control
OF the unified country by the South
Koreans. The plan proposed that
representation in the all-Korean
Legislature shall be in direct pro.
portion to the population of the
entire Korea" The population of
South Korea at present is about
1O million and that of North Korea
4 million.
Pyun rejected the earlier pro.
posal of North Korean Foreign
Minister Nam II calling for Com.
munist-style elections to be carried
out by an All-Korean Commission
on which North and South Korea
would have equal representation.
No Time Named
"a careful perusal of the Com.
munist proposals reve ais that
while the Communists set a time
limit to the withdrawal of foreign
forces from Korea, they have care
fully avoided to name a time for
the elections.

the armed services. He fought
the unification policy mainly
because of what he said was the
subordinate role given to the
Navy. In 1850 he unsuccessfully
ran as an independent against
Senator Hill. Democrat, who won
reelection.
Mr.. Powell's Office was closed
yesterday. No additional COM
ment was available from him
here or in New York.
These most recent forecasts of
what the court might or might
pot do. and when it might act,
recalled a somewhat similar in
stance several weeks ago. At
that time, when the court was
about to end a month-long re-
cess, a Georgia publication sup
porting Gov. Herman Talmadge
reported that a decision in the
segregation cases would be an
nounced as soon as the justices
returned to the bench. The ar
ticle predicted that the court
would rule against segregation.
Since then there has been no
lack of periodic predictions and/
or guesses to fit almost every
eventuality for the following

SummerfieId Lashes
Democrats on FHA
BY the Associaied Press

IONA, Mich, Oct. 23.- Post
master General Summerfield said
today the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration scandal can be
charged directly to criminal in
effiency and downright crooked
ness of the Roosevelt and Tru-
man administrations.
In a speech prepared for q
Republican campaign rally, Mr..
Summerfield called the charges
which have led to a wholesale
shakeup Of the housing agency
"the most monumental and vi
ciouS scandal this country has
ever known"
More people are affected
and more money Is involved in
the infamous Democrat FILA
scandal than any mess this
country has ever known" he
said. "The windfall chiselers
make all the other Truman
grafters look like penny -ante
boys" He added:
This sh ocking situation
which was allowed to continue
over many years under both the
Roosevelt, and Truman regimes
Can be charged directly to
maladministration and to bold
faced fraudulent operation-to
New Deal Fair Deal criminal
inefficiency and to downright
'crookedness.
This lamentable laxity Of en-
forcement by the Democrat ad-
ministration stretched over Q
period Of 10 years or more
but in less than two years the
Republican administration has
gotten to the bottom Of this
sordid mess and will now make
the guilty pay"

on State employees TO swing be-

other was Senator Cooper's
warning in Democratic RUSSELL
vile that election law violators
would be hailed before q Federal
Grand jury.
Cooper Reported Gaining.
The Wetherby call, according
to some reports. resulted from
an informal poll showing Sem
ator Cooper was gaining
strength. Senator Cooper has
called it an act Of political cal
lousness and Mr.. Barkley, quite
naturally, has ignored the mild
furore over 1T.
On the other matter, however.
Mr.. Barkley has accused Sem
ator Cooper Of setting himself
up as "the apostle of honest
elections" and adds: ST want
to say to Republicans in Repub-
lican counties. ! trust your hon
esty and I'm not going into
them and hold up the fear of

AS he spoke, a listener cried,
"pour it on, Alben." Mr.. Barkley
laughed and said benignly, well,
I don't want to pour it on too
much, although it's a delightful
pastime."
Riding to the next town after
that speech, Mr.. Barkley
munched at a big red apple.
There was a gleam in his eyes
and one could guess he was
looking forward q little to the
delightful pastime" Of pouring
