Dietsch, who has lived in Key

1t has been a long time since
DietSch worked as a waiter-his
last such job was in 1888 and 1885
as assistant head waiter at the
Casa Marina-but he recalls the
immediate pre-World War I Pc
Rod in New York City when cab
aretS were reaching their peak
This was from 1911 to 1914.
It was then that he worked al
such famous restaurants, hotels
and cabarets as Reisenweber's
Jacks, Churchill's, Shanley's, Rec.
tors, Healy's Golden Glades, the
old Knickerbocker Hotel at 42nc
Street and Broadway and the Her
mitage Hotel near And Street anC
Seventh Avenue.
Knows Celebrities
It was at the Hermitage that he
knew such Broadway stars as the
late Will Rogers, Eddie Cantor
and Al Jolson.
Another celebrity that Dietscl
knows well is Ernest Hemingway

Casa Marina in 1888 and 1885,

It was during that period tha
Dietsch had a chance to buy the

TWO VEGAS.
The new two-story motel
will be a dream job, Dietsch
says, with $4,000 being
spent on the building and
another $4,000 going for
furnishings and landscap-
ing.
Aid To Ladies
According to Dietsch, the new
motel will have one little room
that no other motel in town has.
This room won't be very large
and it won't be fancily furnished
but will be important to women.
The room will contain an electric
washing machine.
Dietsch pointed to the 10O-by-2OO
foot plot that adjoins the Blue Mar
lin.
THAT'S where the new building

bron, convicted with three men

swore today she will continue to
fight for Puerto Rican independ-

"What / thought was the end

Puerto Rico-Rafael Concel Mir

the Far East to the Strategic Air
Command-carrier Of the atomic
weapons said the big planes
would be moved from Japan to
Guam.
The Air Force said wing Of
four engined B-29s would be

Most of the Far East Air Forces
now based in Japan will be flown
to Guam and put under control
of the SAC, the Air Force said.
Eventually, SAC will replace
the B-29s with BATS and other
aircraft. The B-29 Superforts
which dropped the atom bombs on
Japan and bombed North Korea
for II months are headed for re-
tirement.
The Air Force said later other
types of SAC aircraft are expect
ed to go to the Far East under
the new program.
Mainly transport and fighter
craft, and a few outmoded light
.bombers will remain in Japan.
Sabre jets, which can carry small
atom bombs, short distances, will
remain in Japan, the Air Force

Queen Elizabeth Ducks
Low-lying Telephone Wire
While Galloping Horse

ASCOT, England, Up - Queen
Elizabeth II gave an exhibition of
her excellent horsemanship at the
Royal Ascot race course today
and probably saved her head.
She ducked just in time on a
galloping horse to get under a
telephone cable that was hanging
down at head level across the
course.
A shout from the Duke of Edin-
burgh, who was riding out front,
sounded the warning. The queen
laughed off the incident and call
ed out to loud speakers as she
rode past:
eve were nearly all decapi-
tated."
The duke, more concerned than
his young wife, asked her after
ward:
did you hear me shout when
I saw that wire?"
She smiled and replied: 81 saw
you duck and 1 did the same"
The queen and some of her
noble peers and their ladies, stay
ing at nearby Windsor Castle,
went for a morning gallop on the
famed course before the opening
of the days racing.
Only a few workmen saw her
close escape.

INSTRUMENTATION
To Fed. Employees

BALTIMORE, Up - Atty. Gen.
Brownell said last night Sen. Nc
Carthy's invitation to government
employees to come to- him with
information, even information
they are charged with keeping
secret:
/. Threatens the classic Ameri-
can concept Of separation Of pow
ers among Congress, the executive

2. ''Would substitute rule by an
individual for government by
law"
About 600 weekly newspaper
editors and publishers attending
the 69th annual convention of the
National Editorial Assn, broke
into applaud when the attorney
general declared:
"Any one who attempts to put
himself above the laws and incite
government employees to turn over
classified information relating to
our national security, is tragically
mistaken if he believes he is help
ing to protect our nations safety.
Nothing pleases the Commun-
lists more than to create division
among the people on matters of
national security, impair constitu-
tional government, and encourage
disobedience to the law
81 have spoken out pretty
strongly against those in high
places who are blind to the dan
ger of Communist infiltration in
our government. I believe it
equally important to speak out
against those who, regardless of
motives, break down our system
of government by law in an eff
fort to investigate Communism
where there is no need for it."

Guatemalans Muster On

Armed Guatemalan exiles were
reported mastering along their
jittery homeland's frontier with
Honduras amid indications today
there may be a revolt against
President Jacobo Arbenz Gus
mans Communist-influe re-
gime.
The belief stemmed in part
from Guatemalan ambassador
Amadeo Chincilla, who said he
had received reports that resist
ance forces would launch re-
bellion against the Arbenz re
gime.
Reports from censorship blank
eted Guatemala said authorities
there were readying massive
public demonstration today. Main
ly this was to show solid support
for the government, but observ-
ers here also interpreted it as a
possible move to- mobilize friendly
forces for action in case a revolt

Ends 15-Year Flight From
Communists With US.
Citizenship at Anchorage

ANCHORAGE, R-Thirty-year
old pert and trim Roxyana Skob-
slski took an oath here yesterday
which made her a citizen Of the
United States and ended a half a
lifetime battle to find a new
home in a free land.
Her long desperate struggle be-
gan near the Romanian border of
Poland in 1889 when the Com
munist armies of Russia entered
Poland.
Four times she and her family
attempted to make a home in the
troubled lands of Balkan Europe.
Each time they had to flee the
Communists.
They finally found sanctuary
in Vienna and Roxyana, now able
to speak four languages fluently,
went to work for American occu-
patton authorities. But Vienna
was surrounded by the Red zone
of Austria and she could not get
out until, with the help of a
British clergyman, forged papers
were obtained which got her thru
the Russian road blocks into the
American Zone.
Today Miss Skobslska is saving
timber and clearing ground to de-
velop a homestead at Homer. Her
brother is working in the states
and sending money north to fin
ance the homestead. He hopes
soon to join Roxyana in a home
from which they will not have to
move ahead of the Red terror.
