yesterday and made a plea that

ty. 1t was.
Deeds Brought Here
Rep. Papy brought the deeds to
the land back to Key West with
him last night. They are scheduled
to be filed in the office of County
Clerk Earl Adams today.
Papy said that rumors that the
action of the board had not given
final APPROVAL were started by
Dade County interests who have
been working against Monroe
County for 20 years."
Here is the Associated Press
dispatch from Tallahassee:
TALLAHASSEE - The State
Board of Administration today APP
proved action Of the Overseas Road
and Toll Bridge District in turning
its surplus lands over to Monroe
County.
Excludes Highway
The action did not include the
overseas highway itself which was
turned over to the state Road De-
partment.
The Board of Administrations
approval came at the request of
Rep. Bernie Papy of Monroe Coun-
ty and was over the objection Of
Atty. Gen. Richard Erwin. Erwin
said he thinks the Road Depart
ment, State Park Board and Mon
roe County commission should con-
fer over conflicting claims to the
land.
Comptroller c. M. Gay, who
moved that the board approve the
land transfer, said he didn't ''think
it makes any difference. We're go
ing to be out of the picture Oct.
1. 1t won't hurt ANYTHING for us to
take this action"
The Board of Administration,
which has acted as fiscal agent in
connection with the overseas high
way bonds, finishes its duties Oct.
l when the bonds are retired. The
highway already is toll free.
PapY's Objection
Rep. Papy, objecting to Ervin's
suggestion that the board of parks
has claim to some of the lard,
declared the park service els the
type of people who don't do any
improvements.
They've taken the best property
we've got and taken it off the tax
rolls. They are land grabbers-for
what / don't know. They haven't
come down and looked at the
land"
Papy said his constituents had
been enraged by a 1s45 agreement
under which the state was to have
title to overseas road district land
when the indebtedness was retired.
1.-THE property rightfully belongs
to my people who bought and paid
for it," he said.
Erwin had questioned whether or
not the agreement had been set
aside by a 1947 legislative act CIV
ing the land to Monroe County
Subject to existing leases and in
cumberances."

Cillett Tells
Need For HIS.
Driver Course
kiwanis Hears Safety
Talk; Announces Its
Polio Drive Proceeds
BY BILL SPILLMAN

n move TO initiate auto
mobile driver training in the
Key West High School will
be considered by the board
of directors of the local XII
wants club at the next d.
rector's meeting.
The move was suggested last
night at the regular Kiwanis meet
ing when it was told that the Key
West High School is the largest of
five remaining high schools in
south Florida that do not have
driver training as a high school
subject.
Howell Gillett, safety officer for
the Florida State Highway Patrol,
appeared at the Kiwanis as guest
speaker. He said that high school
driver training has cut in half the
number of traffic fatalities and
accidents caused by high school
students.
More Males Die
Gillett said that if the present
trend of accidents continues, a
family with two boys will either
have one of them killed or SER
iously injured in a traffic accident
during their lifetime.
In stating statistics on traffic
deaths, he said, 885 out of a thou
sand deaths are males. Most peo-
pie who are killed are between the
ages of Is and "a. More people are
killed on Saturday than any other
day of the week. Tuesday is con-
sidered the safest day of the week
for driving. Speed causes twice as
many accidents as any other di-
rect cause.
Danger Near Home
Gillett said that everyone usual
ly thinks that the corner nearest
their home or place of business is
the most dangerous spot in town.
In telling about the use of ra-
dar to detect speed violators, he
said that it has one fault, in as
much as it can not differentiate
the politicians.
Gillett said that he is going to
be careful in his driving so he can
be around with all the women after
the men are killed off. He had re-
ference to a large percentage of
men that are being killed COM
pared to women.
Gillett was introduced by Ed
ward Bayly.
Routine Business
In conducting the routine bust
ness of the club, Glenn Archer ex-
planned to the new members the
fact that the club sponsors the high
school Key Club.
Ralph Faraldo, club president,
told of attending an inter-council
meeting at Miami Beach. He told
the members that the Key West
club is on the honor role for 18th
district of Kiwanis.
Bill Freeman was told that he
could wear a tie to the meeting
after next without paying a fine
because winter dress rules will
then be in effect.
Fish Fry Proceeds
Kiwanis has contributed $316
raised at the fish fry held at the
Congregational Church social hall
to the emergency March of Dimes.
William Neblett announced at the
meeting that the fund for Key West
has reached over $1,000. The club
was commended for its effort.
Everett Sweeting told of the forth
coming softball game to be held
against the Upper Keys Kiwanis
Club on Saturday night in Bayview
Park.

Over o-China Situation
BY The Associated Press

HONOLULU, Jan. Admiral
Radford. chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff, arrived in Homo
lulu from the Far East yesterday
and said the situation in Indo-
China was mot as pessimistic as
newspaper accounts paint it."
Admiral Radford said he talked
In Manila with Donald Heath,
United States Ambassador to
Indo- China who reported that
French Gen. Navarro could cope
with the present Communist
thrust in Southeast Asia.
Asked IL he thought fighting
would resume in Korea, Admiral
Radford replied:
II doubt it. There has been
no indication on the part of the
Communists that they would
start fighting again."
With Admiral and Mrs. Rad
ford was Walter Robertson, AS
sistant secretary of State for
Far Eastern Affairs, who said in
his opinion Korean peace con-
ference would be held.

1hye and Fulbright
Oppose Any Rise in
Statutory Debt Limit
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

Senators Thye, Republican, Of
Minnesota and Fulbright, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas said today they
are inclined to vote against any
increase in the statutory $275
billion debt limit.
Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey has indicated Con-
greSs will be asked early in the
forthcoming session to increase
the limit, a move already ap-
proved in the House but stalled
in the Senate in the previous
session.
The public opposition voiced
by the two Senators indicated
that the administration may en-
counter difficulties in stirring the
sharply divided Senate into &C
ton. Senator Byrd, Democrat.
of Virginia, who has worked
closely with Secretary Humphrey,
already has stated he will OPP
pose an increase.
81 hope we won't find our
selves voting for greater in
debtedneSs," Senator Thye said.
I'VE must examine every pro-
posed expenditure and see If
we can avoid that. I believe it
can be DONE"
Senator Fulbright said in a
separate interview he is inclined
to believe. with Senator Byrd,
that the debt ceiling now serves
as the only congressional check
on Government expenditures.
IT think this Republican ad-
miniStration ought to be held to
its chief promise in the 1852
campaign that it would balance
the budget" he said.
Senator Russell. Democrat, Of
Georgia, who has said he might
favor a SIS billion increase. in
stead of the SIS billion boost
voted by the House, remarked:
Maybe / was foolish. when
was campaigning for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination.
in saying that ! didn't believe
any man could balance the
budget until 1856, but that esti-
mate begins to look better all
the time" he said.
Senator Sparkman of Ala
bama, the 1852 Democratic vice
presidential nominee, said:
IF they can't operate under
a debt limit that the Democrats
maintained for years, then /
guess wen have to vote them an
increase" he said.
