In EisenhOwer's
 Press Conference At Capitol Today:

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower said today the Chi nese Communist attacks on Am erican and British planes are part of the Red plan to split the Western allies. He declared the United States means to defend its rights.
 The President told a news con- ference the American rescue planes were which attacked by the Chinese Communists were en- gagged in legitimate business.
 The President also dealt with these other matters:
 Legislative Program Eisen- hover said he would be more than bitterly disappointed if Con- gross should adjourn without ap- proving such administration mea- sures as those dealing with for eign aid, farm policy, tax re- vision, housing, social security.
 And he added, in reply to a question, that he feels an increase in the PTS billion dollar national debt ceiling is unacceptable.
 Anglo-Egyptian-He said he is highly pleased with the agree ment reached by Great Britain and Egypt on terms for settling their argument over the Suez Canal Zone.
 The agreement reflects states manship on both sides, he said, adding that he hopes Egypt now will be able to advance with her friends from both economic and security standpoints.
 Food Prices-The President ex- pressed the hope that food prices will stabilize if Congress passes the administration bill calling for a flexible farm price support pro- gram instead of the rigid support plant now in effect.
 Atomic Power The President said he was not ready to express his views on the matter of the governments role in constructing atomic reactors to produce cleo tricity. He said atomic power still costs much more than conven- tional power and is matter which needs much more study.

sion and suddenly Mr.. Webb is
a real big man in the entertain
ment world.
His latest recognition is being
named Man Of the Year" in
television in the annual poll
conducted by the trade paper,
Radio-Television Daily. 1t was
only a few days ago that the
American Research Bureau re-
leased its latest rating showing
"Dragnet" topping II Love Lucy
by 61.3 to so. It was the second
time, incidentally, but the first
time since February. 1852, that
any program had a greater
audience than the Lucille Ball
DeSi Arnaz show. ARB counted
them at 39,780,000 viewers for
''Dragnet," 39.690, 900 for Lucy"
This is no great margin. Of
course. and Miss Ball is right
alongside Mr.. Webb in the trade
papers poll. SheE was named
Woman of the Year" in tele-
vision.
The only double winner in this
years voting (by 500 radio and
television editors) was Edward
r. Murrow. He was named
Commentator of the Year" in
both radio and television. the
first ever to do that, says the

On the Air

There is one item Of television
business which must be put on
the agenda ahead of almost any,
thing else in 1854. Until it is
taken care of it won't mean
much to make the screens twice
as big or to develop $85 color
receivers. What we need is a
spring training program for
cameramen and directors who
expect to find themselves cover
ing football next autumn.
Maryland was not the only
disappointment on Friday after
noon. Oklahoma completed four
passes out of six and Maryland
five in IL toSSeS, but nobody at
home would have known it if
there hadn't been an announcer
there. Jim Tatum's boys may
not have had much success at
deceiving that Oklahoma line,
but they sure outplayed the TV
caIneramen.
On the surface this appears
to be problem easily solved.
There have been football tele-
casts this past fall which were
seen clearly by the viewers at
home. The pro games played at
Pittsburgh are remembered espe-
cially for cameras that alertly
followed the play. But the arm
chair quarterback was kept in
the dark again Friday afternoon
at least he was if he chose to
watch the Orange Bowl. He was
left to await the sports pages
the next day to find out whether
Maryland's pass offense wasn't
clicking or Oklahoma's pass de-
fense was.
It won't do any good to argue
q better TV football season out
of the NCAA If we're going to
see only part of the game when
1t is televised. 1t is the aim of
the T formation quarterback, of
course, to cloak his moves in as
much deception as possible.
When an alert cameraman fol-
lows a decoy back into a pile
up of disappointed defense men
it only proves that the quarter
back has done his job well. You
can't complain too much about
q little of that during a game.
1t would be nice. however, If
the cameraman and directors
would stop aiding in the decep-
ton. The switch, for instance,
from a tight closeup to a long
shot Cor vice versa requires a
split second of adjustment on the
part of the viewer at home.
When it's done just as the ball
is snapped a man watching a
TV screen can only hope the an
nouncer tells him where that
play went.
Those forward passes are
something some TV crews might
do a lot better with, too. In a
football game man who gets
rid of the ball becomes some
thing less than the center of in
terest right then. A man watch
ing wants to know if a rangy end
downfield is in the clear OF
surrounded by thugs prepared to
kick him in the stomach if he
makes a move toward the foot
ball.
This is fair warning. Wed
better have some ball hawks on
those TV cameras by next fall OF
something drastic will be done.
\
WINNERS-Jack Webb must
be fairly happy by this time that
he couldn't get the right break
and become a movie star when
he was in that trade. He turned
to radio instead with that idea
for a documentary series OF
crime shows. then came televi-

the actions of present day resi-
dents, I'm inclined to believe the
legend. Certainly it would be hard
to describe the Gimme, Gimme"
."Grab, Grab" attitude of many
citizens on any other basis. They
still possess a fair amount Of lar
cency in their souls.
When are we going to stop "tak-
ing" from the Navy and start doing
a little "giving?" When are we 60
ing to start furnishing a little de-
cent recreation for the boys in uni
form 80 that they won't have to
spend all of their time in bars?
I've been, in the service. I've
been in towns just like Key West
and I've tried to drink them dry
because there was nothing else to
do. And I've been stationed in pla-
ces like Rome, N. Y, or San An
tonic, Texas, where the squadron
wouldn't have time to look for trou-
BILE because there were too many
other interesting ways to occupy
oneself.
Roll those thoughts over in your
mind for awhile.

A few more comments about the
U. S. Navy. :.
Understand this - there are a
lot of things I don't like about the
outfit. I object to what appears to
be tendency toward playing local
politics insofar as purchasing is
concerned. I'm against the Navy
for not regulating its Insecure"
security measures in a sensible
manner. There are dozens of other
little items.
Still and all, the Navy is the
life-blood of Key West. I've made
that statement innumerable times
in this column. I'm going to keep
on making it until someone be-
lieves me.
This is a small island. It is too
small for its population, composed
of civilian and service personnel,
not to get along. And, incidentally,
if you're of that turn Of mind
which is likely to say: COX, let
the Navy move" it might be
worth remembering that the Navy
was here first.
Key West was suppose to have

Dick
Says

No wonder folks get disguised
with advertisers! I picked up 4
tire circular from a large mail or
der house the other day. It was
worded in such q way that ! ac-
tually thought the prices were low
er than my own.
Mind youl I'm. in the tire bus
mess and l bad to take pencil
and paper to figure out the cost
of the advertised products. The
truth came to light then - the
mail order sale prices were a cou-
pie of dollars higher than my re-
gular onesl If / figured my spe-
cial sale price of "buy 3, free"
was way and gone below the
other guy, (not even bothering to
count postage and mounting charg-
es which the customer would have
to pay if he ordered his tires.)
l don't like that kind of stuff.
This world needs a little more ba-
sic honesty and less trickery. The
customer who is stuck" by one
dealer will not only never return
to that place, he is forever wary
of all merchants.
Dicks Tire Service is in Key
West to stay. Our aim is to earn
a legitimate profit for our services
and establish a permanent friend
ship with local tire buyers. / fig
ure that the guy who tries to trick
his way into big money will even
tually meet his just fate - he will
run into a better trucker than him
self.
These are two things which I
would like to see increased in Key
West: ~, civic pride; (2), civic
loyalty. Both of them 60 hand-in-
hand.
Merchants need to take pride in
their city (Key West). They need
to support the working man in his
efforts to improve the town. Most
of all, they need to play the game
square - to be proud of their repu-
tation for honesty rather than the
size of their bankron.
At the same time, residents
should be loyal to the town and TO
the merchants. This thing of going
out of town to buy items because
you think a couple of cents can
be saved is foolish. Key West can't
advance under such conditions.
Let's all patronize the local mer-
chants. They are the ones who are
paying our taxes.

man Ave-, is headquarters for u.

So it is. So is PHOSPHORUS, and
yet flourides and phosphates, along
with calcium and other minerals
normally OCCUR in the bones and
teeth of all mammals, including
man.
So is iodine poison, yet without
iodine the thyroid gland does not
function properly and serious de-
ficiency states may occur.
Many of us recall some wears
ago when the use of iodized salt
was first proposed. The same ar
guments were advanced, the same
huilabaloo arose and predictions of
dire consequences were made.
This all Simmered down and now
most of us when we purchase salt
at the market don't even bother to
look at the label, and incidentally
there has been a marked improve
ment in odine-deficiency areas
where golter is prevalent.
Chlorine is another poison. but
it is added to our water supply on
its journey from the wells to the
spigot.
The term medication, and mass
medication, comes up with con-
siderable regularity.
In our humble opinion medica-
ton means the administration of
an agent to treat disease, an en-
tirely different matter. If we get
malaria, our doctor may prescribe
quinine to kill the parasites; in
other words, prescribe a foreign
substance, of which none occurs
in the human body, for a specific
purpose.
Controlled flouridation is no more
medication than is the addition of
salt in the preparation of food.
Both flourides and chlorides are
normally present in the body It's

There is rumbling over in the
county about the criminal court
not producing enough money in
fines.
Some quarters would like to see
the Judge hand out sitter fines and
ease the county's financial burden.
We always thought the function
of any court is to try cases i'm
partially and to inflict fair pun
ishment on the guilty. Now, they
apparently have to make money,
too.
theoretically, the courts are sup
ported out of the money they re-
ceive in fines. Then, those who
commit law infractions pay the
cost of operating the court. That
is well and good, but if so few
people commit law infractionS that
the court shows a deficit, why sock
il on the minority.
Get the money some other place
don't take it out on the unfor-
tunates who wind up in court.

So Miami is having pervert
trouble.
We've had it for q long time.
There have been 4 couple Of
murders which were done when
the victim was being rolled.
Bar owners have learned that
perverts hurt business by discour-
aging the general public from pa
tronizing them when the swishes
hang around.
One local bar, we are told, has
devised a unique method Of letting
the perverts know legally that they
don't want their trade. You see,
bars cannot legally refuse to serve
anyone unless they are intoxicat-
ed or causing q disturbance.

When the pervert comes in for q
beer, he gets a warm one. He COM

replies that it's the coolest they

The statement has been made
that flourides cause heart disease,

1t strikes us as being strange
that vital statistics from sections
of the country where the water ma

not show any increase in these

WATER
BY DENIS SNEIGR

Let's face the facts; let's be
frank.
Much has appeared recently in
various columns concerning a mat
ter about which this correspondent
admits knowing very little.
In all walks Of life all of us have
to depend daily on people who have
spent the necessary time, effort
and money to acquire special
skills. To cite a few homely ex-
amples-when the plumbing goes
haywire we call the plumber when
the family jalopy refuses to start
we call 4 reliable mechanic; If we
need legal advice we don't call the
doctor but instead 60 straight to a
lawyer.
By the same token, when the old
molars begin to ache we may put
it off as long as we can but we
finally wind up In the chair of a
dentist.
All this preamble is of course
leading up to the subject of flouri-
dalton Of the water supply.
The American Dental Association
states fatty that Foundation in the
proportion Of one part per million
will reduce dental decay two
thirds, and in that proportion never
causes dental hourosis, or mot

qualified to make this statement.

ton 10 equally emphatic in the
statement that such q minute guam
ity Is not cumulative in its action

CIGARETTE COMPANIES AND CANCER

The recent startling and authoritative news that
heavy cigarette smokers had been found to develop
cancer heart disease and other diseases information
which established after years of tests with 1877
900 people has provoked various reactions Cigarette
companies, by and large have remained largely SILENT

They have already agreed to form research organ-

nounced they would seek all the facts themselves This
is the right direction and the companies able
do anything which could lessen the danger from cigarette
smoking then this would be in the pubcs interest and
in the interest of the cigarette manufacturers themselves
in the long run.
Unfortunately, several individuals, representing
ous segments of the tobacco industry have attempted to
bete the reports insignificant Perhaps this bam-
boozery could have been put most of the people
