Van Fleet To
Confer With Rhee

SEOUL, R-Gen. James A. Van
Fleet, special Far East military
envoy for President Eisenhower,
flew to Chinhae today to confer
with President Syngman Rhee at
his summer home.
There was speculation that Van
Fleets meeting with Rhee might
be connected with the reported de-
livery to Rhee yesterday of letter
from President Eisenhower.
The letter repeatedly dealt with
possible action resulting from fail
ure of the Geneva peace talks on
Korea or with plans for a u. S.
buildup of ROK military forces.

The outstanding movie showed the
Importance of insects in our daily

The movie pointed out that bees

Acting =. Johns, who alone
can send the men to the electric
chair by issuing death warrants
calling for their execution, told
reporters:
'I'll issue them when we get
around to it but the newspapers
aren't going to pressure me into

He said he understood there are

: The three missing commits
sioners were all reported to
be out of the city.
While the agenda for the
meeting, as released to the
press yesterday, was COM
paratively light, several
items of business were added
at the last minute.
Included were a proposed lease
for the city-owned Clyde-Mallory
docks company planning to oper-
ate a Key West-Cuba ferry serv-
ice and a resolution pointing out
to the federal government the
need for the Poinciana housing
project to the community and re-
questing that the Public Housing
Administration not destroy the
housing units.
In addition, resolution apprpv-
ing an expenditure by the City
Electric System for expansion Of
their. service was to have been
considered.
Withheld From Press
The details of the revised Clyde-
Mallory dock lease are being with
held from the press. City Man.
ager Victor Lang said today that
he has orders from City Attor-
ney j. Y. Porter not to release
them. He termed reporters re-
quest for information on details
of the lease be made public as
unreasonable"
However, The Citizen has learn
ed from an authoritative source
that terms of the lease which was
to have been discussed last night,
differ considerably from a propo-
sal submitted to the city fathers
at a meeting June IA.
New Fee Schedule
At that time, the Caribbean Fer
ry Service Company proposed TO
pay a flat rental of S12, 500 per
year for the entire Clyde-Mallory
Dock property for use as the local
terminus of a ferry line running
between Key West and Matanzas,
Cuba.
The city commission declined 70
act on that proposal, however,
and instructed the City Attorney
! and the City Manager to negotiate
with the ferry company on terms
for a lease.
The new proposal is repeatedly
the results of talks between Port
er and the ferry promoters.
Annual GUARANTEES
The tentative agreement which
was to have been considered last
night calls for payment of an ar
nual guarantee to the city of
S. 900. However, the company
has apparently revised their de-
mands and now they ask for only
a portion of the dock. The bal
ance of the property would pre-
sumably be retained by the
city, which gains considerable
income from rentals to local bust
ness establishments.
The agreement calls for a pay
ment of $500 at the time the
lease is signed and monthly in
stallments of S208.33.
The city would receive one dol
lar for each passenger and Is
cents for each 100 pounds of
freight carried on the ferry.
