Session Will Follow
Meeting Of Traffic
Board At City Hall

What at first appeared to be a
'lash-up' in time schedules may
turn out to be beneficial to all con-
cerned tonight when the Key West
Safety Council will get together
Immediately following q meeting
of the City Traffic Committee.
1t is hoped that many Of the
folks who attend the meeting of
the traffic committee viii remain
for the Safety Council program.
There is no relation between the
two bodies other than a sincere
desire to improve local safety.
The Key West Safety Council is
n non-political, non-profit, non.com-
mercial organization dedicated TO
accident prevention. At meeting
held two weeks ago, Bill Glib, of
The Key West Citizen was elected
president; Ed Bayly, Navy civil
service employee, vice president;
Alice Robinson, Boca Chica en-
ployee, secretary and treasurer.
Program Planned
Several important. projects will
be discussed during the meeting
with the object in view of aiding
other civic bodies and organiza-
lions IN their effort to provide sa-
fety.
Among those expected to be men,
toned are the playground at
the corner of White and Eaton
Sts.; distribution of safety educa-
ton material among our young
tots in elementary schools; and an
award for outstanding safety work
by organizations and individuals.
Currently, the Key West Council
is engaged in a campaign to rid
our town of old ice boxes - ''po-
tential caskets," the Council calls
them.
To date, response on the part of
the public has been immensely
gratifying and many old death
traps" have been removed from
every section of the Island, Coun-
Gil members say they still have
quite a list of boxes yet to be
picked up.

An accident which occurred
early today lit brought the TO-
tai for the month to I'D was
caused by the driver making
an improper turn.
Failure to grant the right of
way, cutting corners or using
excessive speed on turns can
be disastrous.
For a trip to St. Peter, all
you need is car, a curve and
plenty of speed - hardly a man
is now alive who took a curve
at IS.
That these accidents cost
money is evident by the fact
that total property damage in
traffic accidents since Jan. l
has soard to $63,7s6. That
means that damage is already
70 per cent of the. 1858 total.

day that he had signed G. David
Schine's application for an Army
copmisSion despite his previous
testimony he never saw it, and
knew nothing about it.
Joseph N. WEIGH, special Army
counsel, produced surprise photos
of the application for Schine, a
former Mccarthy consultant and
central figure in the exchange of
pressure" and 'blackmail"
charges between Secretary of the
Army Stevens and Mccarthy.
WEIGH referred first to sworn
testimony of Mccarthy on June 10
that he knew nothing about
Schine's application for a commits
sion, which the Army turned down.
Schine subsequently was drafted
asa private on Nov. 8. 4

DaiHf$tfesalist Speaks To
Kiwanis Club Tuesday Night
New Developments
In Containers,
Processes Told
BY BILL sPILLMAN

Transparent plastic milk con-
tainers will soon be on the public
market" Pat Mayes said last
night in speaking before the local
KiwaniS Club in a talk describing
in detail the history of Florida's
dairy industry.
Mayes, an outstanding authority
on milk products, was the guest
speaker before the club marking
National Dairy Month. The month
of June has been set aside as
dairy month by proclamation of
the president of the United States.
Mayes said that the dairy indus
try is the third largest industry in
the state and that Florida is fast
becoming the largest producing
state in the United States, because
of changing climatic conditions
throughout the country.
Early Days
Mayes, in his lengthy history of
the milk industry, said that he re-
membered back in 1919 how he
helped to unload 30 cows in the
heart of Miami and herded them
out to what is now the outskirts
OF the city limits. He said that the
same feat could not be performed
today because of Miami's growth.
He said that those 80 cows rep
resented all the cattle in south
Florida at that time. He added
that they were brought to Miami
because of malnutrition among the
children. Dade County now has 81
GOO cows that produce % million
gallons of milk yearly, he added.
MayeS told of a new method of
flash" pasterization of milk which
does not distort the flavor. He said
that the flash process consists of
quickly heating and then quickly
cooling the milk in a very short
period of time.
New Breeds Of Cows
Mayes told of new breeds of cows
that would be more adapted to the
climate OF this area. He said that
two bulls had been imported from
India and bred with Jersey COWS,
adding that the breeding with the
midas Brahma bulls would make
the new breeds more immune to
insects which is big problem in
this part of the state.
Bill Warner told the club that in
addition to the month of June be-
ing dairy month, it is also Bugo-
logy month. He said that bug peo-
pie all over the country are cele-
bratlng the Tooth anniversary OF
Bugology. Warner said that next
Tuesday that he would have some
color movies on bugs.
William V. Albury informed the
members that the President of Uni
ted States had just the day before
signed into law a bill that adds
the words under God" to the Am.
erican flag. pledge.

Recreation
Program Draws
Record Roll
Instructors Are
Swamped With Kids
Who Want To Join

At 1915 this morning enrolment
in the summer recreation program
sponsored by the Monroe County
School board had already reached
an all time high.
Instructors reported they were
"swamped" with more children
walking to sign up for the popular
program of summer activities.
Athletic director Winston Jones,
who has directed the summer pro-
grams since they were begun in
1850, said today, "this is the larg-
est enrolment by far. Judging
from the response today and yes
terday, we are expecting around
100 kids to register this year."
To Add Instructors
Jones said that additional in
structors will be added to the
nine already hard at work.
The biggest jump is at Harris
School where 207 children were
already registered. At Poinciana
School 215 youngsters had enrolled
and Truman reported 1874.
The recreation centers are open
at the elementary schools in the
city as an extension of the school
program.

County solicitor appointed by the

affairs of the old toll district.
James McEwen, of Tampa, an
other special investigator appoint
ed by the governor for the probe,
said Marsh would appear this
morning.
McEwen named these other men
as witnesses slated for today:
George Dayton, attorney for the
State Road Department; Lee
Shields, former owner Of the
White Laundry here; Thomas Man

member Of the state road board;

Road Department engineer; and
two former employees of the toll
district, Walter Woodsids and E.
G. Dickey.
The jury's investigation Of the
toll district has been continuing in
termittently since April 10 when
the jury was empaneled.
After the 10 men were sworn in
that day by Circuit Court Judge

The manslaughter war;
rant - issued June 8 by
Justice of the Peace Roy
Hamlin - resulted from an
auto crash June 8 in which
Sheila Perren, 20-year-old
Navy wife, was killed.
She was the wife of George A.
Perren, a sailor stationed aboard
a submarine.
Drake, who is 20, has a wife,
Edith Lucille, in Bloomington, Ind.
Guarantee Asked
Roper said the commanding of
ficer of the Naval Station has re-
fused to release Drake to the
sheriff's department unless the
department signs a form guaran-
teeing that the sheriff will return
Drake to the Navy, no matter what
the outcome Of the manslaughter
trial.
On the other hand, the Navy
says it is forbidden by a presi-
Dental executive order to release
Drake unless the governor or
someone so authorized by the state
signs the agreement.
Here is the sheriff's side of the
controversy as told by Roper:
Roper's Story
Drake, he said, was driving the
car when it overturned on Saddle
Bunch Key early on June 3, killing
Mrs. Perren instantly.
Drake, Roper added, was admit
ted to the Naval Hospital the morn
ing of June 8, the same day the
manslaughter warrant was is
sued.
The sheriff's department held up
service of the warrant until Drake
was released from the hospital on
June IL.
= On that day, the sheriff asked
the Navy to surrender Drake.
The Navy then asked that the
agreement to return Drake to the
Navy after the trial or at COM
pletion of his sentence be signed.
Couldn't Promise
Roper said the Navy officials
were told that the sheriff's de-
partment could not guarantee that
since as soon as Drake was &C.
Quilted or convicted he was no
longer in the custody of the
sheriff's department.
Roper said the matter was dis
cussed with the Navy here over
the past weekend.
Yesterday, Roper continued,
the sheriff's department received
an opinion from Richard Erwin,
Florida attorney general, saying
that the sheriff's department has
no authority to sign such an
agreement
When informed of Ervin's opin-
ion, Roper said, the Navy still re-
fused to surrender Drake unless
the agreement was signed.
Appeal Sent
That was when the sheriff's de-
partment appealed to the Secre-
tary of the Navy by telegram.
No reply had been received up
until 1910 pm. today.
Roper said he had received ex-
cellent cooperation from Rear
Adm. G. c. Towner and the staff
of the Naval Base.
"This situation, however" he
added, ''has developed with the
Naval Air Station and the Sea-
plane Base"
A spokesman for the Nays le-
gal department here explained the
regulation this way:
Navy Regulation
He said the order was contained
in Section 703 of the Naval Sup
plement to the Manual for Courts
Martial, u. S. 1851.
The spokesman said the section
was issued by the Secretary of the
Navy under the direction of the
President as contained in Execu-
tive Order No. 1924.
