One Per Cent Insurance Tax
May Be Levied In Key West
City Commission To Consider Bill
Giving Cops Retirement Fund

An ordinance establishing a one per cent tax on all
casualty insurance premiums will be considered bv the
city commission tonight
Proceeds of the tax if it is levied, will be placed in
special police department retirement fund under the pro-
visions of 1853 act Of the State Legislature.
The Key West citizen., 1954-08-02

: The ordinance to be pre-
sented tonight authorizes the
city commission to impose

ments" on the gross amounts
Of payments Of premiums by
casualty insurance policy
holders.
City Finance Director Craig Bow
en- said this morning that it will
apparently be up to the insurance
companies, whether or not they
will absorb the tax or pass it on
to policy holders.
The latter action would presum-
ably result in an increased casual
ty insurance rates, he added.
othsr Cities Have II
Bowen pointed out, however, that
several other Florida cities have
levied such a tax since the bill was
passed by the legislature.
He added that there is an iden-
tical tax on fire insurance pre-.
miums which has been in force for
some time. That money, he said,
goes into the fire department re-
tirenient f,fnd.
The law which provides for the
tax states that there shall be a
special police officer retirement
fund set up and q board of trus-
tees named to administer it.
The board, the law says, will
consist of the Mayor, the Chief Of
Police, and one policeman chosen
by a majority of the regular men,

cebo Recommends
The resolution to be considered
by the city commission tonight,
says: "Whereas emmine2t medi-
cal authorities a,e in general a.
greement that fluoridation of the

beneficial, especially for the young

DR.. Delio Cobo, dentist in pri-

that he would like anyone who IS

Accused Killer
OF Wife Must
Stay In Jail
Judge Refuses Writ
OF Habeas Corpus
In Hearing Today

CLEVELAND W - Common
Pleas Judge Frank ]. Merrick to-
day refused to grant a writ of
habeas corpus that would have
given temporary freedom to DR..
Samuel H. Sheppard.
William ]. Corrigan, attorney
for the SO-ycar-old physician held
in the murder of his wife, inn
mediately announced he would ap-
peal the decision.
Judge Merrick ordered the oSteo-
path returned to the county jail,
where he has hnep held since his
arrest Friday.
Under Ohio law, the president
of city council in such a muni-
cipality as Bay Village - scene
of the crime - has full authority
to act for the mayor, if for any
reason at all the mayor cannot
act, Judge Merrick said.
Authority Questioned
That was the point on which Cor
rigan had asked the writ. He con-
tended Gershom M. Barber, the
council president who issued the
warrant and committed DR.. Shep-
pard to Jail, had no authority 20
act.
Barber acted because Mayor J.
Spencer Houk, friend and neigh
Dor of the doctor, is expected to
be a material witness. Houk was
the first person DR.. Sheppard tele-
phoned on the morning of July 4,
when Mrs. Marilyn Sheppard's
bloody body was found.
1t was Corrigan's contention that
q mayor cannot delegate his au-
thority.
Barber said he did nothing IL
legal, and the suburbs charter
provides that the Council president
becomes the acting mayor in the
mayors absence.
Little Accomplished
After about six hours with Shep-
pard yesterday, detectives indi-
Gated very little had been accom-
pliShed in adding to his account
of the July 4 morning when his
wife Marilyn was found in her
blood-soaked bed with q bone-deep
wounds about the head
Homicide Chief David E. Kerr
quoted the oSteopath as saying:
ION advice of counsel, ! will not
talk about anything to do with the
murder"
In his previous accounts of the
fatal holiday morning, the osteo-
path said that while doing on a
downstairs couch he heard his
wife scream. Then he ran to their
bedroom and was "clobbered" by
a white form" with whom he
grappled afterwards in a chase
outside.
DR.. Sheppard'S return to jail pre-
Sumably opened the way for fur
ther questioning.

2 Are Killed
In Guatemala
Battle Today

GUATEMALA IA quarrel be-
tween Guatemaian military cadets
and the liberation forces" of Col.
Carlos Castillo Armas, chief of the
country's ruling junta, erupted in
to a battle today. Two persons
were killed and several wounded.
The fighting caused reports the
cadets and some others had re-
volted in sympathy with the de-
posed leftist government of Jacobo
Arhenz.
But later it appeared the fight
was an intra-mural conflict be-
tween the cadets and members of
the Castillo Armas army, victors
IN the June-July revolution.
The fight startad at 4 am. (5
a,m.fEST) near Roosevelt Hospital
where forces of the Castillo Armas
army are encamped. A cadet was
killed, and virtually the entire
oody OF cadets then attacked the
encampment. Firing from rifles,
machlneguns and mortarS was
heard about two hours.
Maj. Enrique Olivia, member of
the Castillo Armas junta, and col
Jose Ortega, chief of staff, moved
forces into position for an attack
on the military academy. Govern
ment planes were given orders to
attack the school.
Sporadic fighting continued in
the vicinity of Roosevelt Hospital,
on the outskirts of the capital, un-
til $40 a. m.
Castillo Armas, who spent the
night at Chimaltenango, rushed to
Guatemala City by plane to pacify
the contending forces.
