Navy Man
Speed In Quelling
Blaze, Neatness
Is Commended Here

The Key West Fire De-
partment has been COM
mended - both for their
dispatch in extinguishing a
blaze in d South st. apart
naent and their neatness in
cleaning up the resultant
mess.
The Citizen received word Of the
commentator in the form of a
letter this morning. The letter
gives fair idea about how at
least one Key Wester feels about
the fire department.
Commentator
The letter:
"Office of the Mayor
"City Of Key West, Florida
Dear Sir:
ION Saturday, the 2S Of August.
there was fire In the apartment
building in which I live at sos
South Street. This fire grew to
proportions beyond the control of
the tenants and the fire was re-
ported to the city Fire Depart
ment.
ION their arrival, the firemen
made a rapid appraisal of the
situation, and by prompt and eff
fective action soon had the fire
extinguished. It is interesting to
note that the only damage done by
the firemen was the cutting of a
portion Of one window screen in
order to gain access to the apart
ment after attempts to use normal
access had failed.
"When the fire had been ex-
tinguished there was q consider
able amount of water and rubbish
in the apartment which if allowed
to stand would have ruined not
only the apartment in which the
fire had been but also the apart
ment directly below. It was the
action of the firemen in regard to
the "mopping up" stage that leads
me to commend them most heart,
lily for a task well done. The en-
tire crew turned to with viii,
their cheerful willingness was
commended on by all present.

Department left, the entire build

Halloween Pranksters
Cause Fire Hazard Here
With Street BlOckades

The Police Department was kept
busy all night Saturday and also
last night with pranksters who
blockaded dark streets with cars,
trucks, barrels, planks and other
material.
Chief jerks states that fun of
this kind could have caused seri-
GUS accidents should a fire have
occurred in the blockaded part of
the city.
He reports that one car barely
missed being seriously damaged
on Steadman Ave. when it
sWerved from the unexpected
blockade and almost hit tele-
phone pole.
With the generous treats given
the children all over the commu-
nifty, stated jerks, it doesn't seem
that they played fairly with this
action. Some homes have report
ed handing out treats to over 200
children.

144 New Americans
Are Sworn In During
Citizenship Program

In a mass ceremony at the
Hotel Statler, LA aliens today
became citizens Of the United
States, high lighting the closing
session of the Ninth National
Conference on Citizenship.
The group was sworn in at
special session of Naturalization
Court in the hotels presidential
ballroom, with Judge r. Dicken-
son Let's of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia. presiding.
A second. surprise oath was
administered to Alexis Moussin-
Pushkin, 1881 Belmont road
NV, in which he renounced
his former Russian title of count.
He had to take it with his left
hand raised. having lost the right
from a Communist dum-dum
bullet fighting the Reds during
the Russian revolution IN 1919.
Wife Also Naturalized.
His wife Helen was naturalized
at the same time. Their 6-year-
old son Vladimir, born an Ameri-
can citizen in Scranton, Pa. &C
companied them.
The mass oath-taking climaxed
a two-hour session designed to
mark Citizenship Day. the 167th
anniversary of the signing of
the Constitution.
Judge Let's warned the new
citizens against domestic ene-
mics" of the United States,
branding them "the termites in
the foundation of our cherished
institutions.
He declared that communism
with it's goddess and visionary
theories and doctrines is the
enemy of all free men. All good
citizens must resist its aggres-
sion, its methods of secretive in
filtration in high places, its spy
ing and ruthless sabotage"
Judge Let's also warned his
listeners to know well the Bill
of Rights" declaring, "a recog-
milton of the rights of others and
a wholesome respect for them is
the best guarantee that your
rights will be preserved"
Burton Speaks.
Addressing more than 1900
persons in the hall, bedecked
with wreaths and flags from the
13 original States, w. Cameron
Burton, past president of the
District Bar Association, sum-
married the discussions of q
panel groups held during the
three-day session of the confer
ence.
Speaking as "a native born
Washingtonian who has never /
enjoyed the privilege of voting"
he noted that it had been recon-
mended that the District of /
Columbia be given the right to /
vote"
Among other things, he said,
the participants had felt that
good citizenship requires positive I
action, including a willingness to I
fight against intolerance ans
discrimination. "This last refers
to segregation" he said.
It was felt, Mr.. Burton de-
clared. that the Supreme Courts
recent school decision repre-
sented a trend to equalizing of
education. There was some feel
ing, he said, that the Federal
Government should grant spe-
cial aid to schools, with the local
