DR.. Small began drinking after

Quick Action


WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower nudged Congress today
for quick passage of his tax and
farm programs.
He said the tax program would
help the economy expand and Gre
ate more jobs and his farm pro-
posals would benefit the entire
country and thus prove to be the
best kind of politics.
Eisenhower also told news

bers who killed his health rein
surance program simply don't
understand the facts of life.
The American people lost, he
said, when the House rejected the
program 23S-134 yesterday.
And, Eisenhower said, he will
carry on the fight for such a pro-
gram as long as he is in office.

'Neblett Urges
Holding On To
Keys Acreage
Senate Nominee
Promises To Aid
County In Fight

William r. Neblett, Democratic
nominee for the State Senate. said
today that he is lone hundred per
cent" in favor of keeping control
in Monroe County of 10 million
dollars worth of Keys lands now
owned by the Overseas Road and
Toll Bridge District.
Neblett, in commenting on the
situation which has provoked con-
siderable controversy, added that
che viii do everything possible to
aid in the fight to keep the lands
for Monroe County," He is assured
of a seat in the Senate since he
has no Republican opposition in
the November election.
The future ownership of the
valuable land is up in the air. The
State Road Department is claim
ing that they should get title to
the land when a bond issue floated
to finance the Overseas Highway
is paid off in October.
Conflicting Claims
However, Monroe County Off
Gals are claiming the land under
the provisions of local bill passed
by the state legislature which
states that the land will revert to
Monroe County for park purposes
when the bonds are paid off. The
situation has reached an impasse
at the present. A court fight is in
the offing to decide ownership of
the land.
Neblett, in commenting on the
situation, continued: 1.-The faith
of Monroe County freeholders was
pledged to pay off the bonds for
the highway-the people built the
road and they should derive the
benefit of it."
Public Interest
Neblett pointed out that it sis
our job to see that the disposition
of the land In question 10 in the
public interest
within the county we know our
needs better than anyone else,"
he continued. I'VE are in better
position to handle our problems
than they are in Tallahassee"
Neblett added that he made a
personal survey Of the Bahia
Honda park on July 4 and noted
that hundreds of people were
having a good time at no cost"
Il even observed a number of
Dade County cars there - those
people like to come down to the

Dulles probably will return to
Washington, Eden and Mendes-
France will fly to Geneva to con-
tinue negotiations with the Commu-
mist powers for an Indochina cease
fire.
During the talks which started
here yesterday evening, the three
statesmen were believed to have
outlined concessions which might
be made to bring halt in the
fighting in Indochina. The minis
tiers met alone again this morning,
while a technical committee was
putting this outline down on paper.
No Word On Terms
There was no hint as to the peace
terms discussed.
Dulles is known to feel that
France has the primary response
bility for settling the war, since
she has carried the principal bur-
den for almost eight years. AS one
source put it, the United States
has furnished money, but money
is no substitute for blood and lives
and the United States should not
try to dictate peace settlement
on the basis Of its financial con-
tribution.
Dulles came to Paris after Eden
and Mendes-France urgently re-
ouested his presence at the Geneva
talks. Although apparently firm in
his resolution not to go on to Gen.
