has declined in Brazil. The
government there has been
alarmed at farm inismanage-
nlent which MIXED the fertile
coffee lands without refertiliz-
ing.
An expansion program insti-
tuted two years ago has broad
ened the coffee growing areas,
but the new areas will not af-
feet the world market for three
years. It takes five years for
a coffee plant to be fully pro-
ductive.
Demond Is Up
Third, the demand for coffee
has grown tremendously in
the past is years. There are
more people to drink coffee,
and there is more money avail
able to buy it.
Coffee is sold in the world
market. by the go kilogram
bag. In 1936-1938 green coffee
imports averaged 1877 million
bags. In 1951-53 the. average
was 20.2 million bags. The
cost, meantime, had jumped
nearly tenfold, from a yearly
average of Sal million in
1868 to the estimate for
last year, based on the first ii
months imports, Of STA billion.
The peak year of 1949, when
more than % million bags of
coffee were imported. saw the
total cost at $793 million. In
the following year, the imports
had shrunk to 1874 million
bags. but the cost had jumped
to Sill billion.
Coffee is one of the top
dollar-value imports, vying for
the leadership from year to
year. It ranks variously in first,
second or third place, with
sugar its principal competitor.
and the other item among the
top three changing from time
to time.
BroziI Big SuppIier
Most of the coffee comes
from Brazil. Another big share
-milder coffees for blending
comes from Colombia. A
small amount-about S or 6
per cents imported from
East Africa, and an even
smaller amount from Asia.
The East Africa coffee is in
ferior, and thus cheaper. but
bolstered by the general mar
ket increase, the price of that
coffee also has risen.
Another consideration in the
rising cost Is that Brazil, for
years. smarted under a price
of 8 cents a pound. The farm
ers saw a part of their efforts
literally go up in smoke, as
countless thousands of pounds
were dumped and burned to
support even the Scent price.
Millions of pounds were kept
in reserve. looking toward a
day of higher prices. The
higher prices came. and that
reserve has dwindled to a point
where it no longer affects the
market materially. Prosperity
is here. and the Brazilians feel
they should reap the profits
as well as the coffee beans.
Congress Goes to Bot
Both houses OF Congress
made moves last week to in
vestigate the situation. So did
the President, who said the
Federal Trade Commission was
looking into the situation.
Some felt that the State De-
partment ought to take a hand
and negotiate with the coffee
growing countries to see what
could be done about coffee
prices. But it was recalled
last week that the State De-
partment. in 1850. was instru-
mental in toning down a
critical Senate report on cof-
fee so it would not be too

Robert A. Collier, a member Of
special counsel for the Senate In.
vestigations subcommittee.
Collier was given the JOB 81
checking up on the document after
Mccarthy produced it late yester-
day.
The committee attorney went to
the witness chair to give his report.
He testified he had taken the docu.
ment to Hoover and that the FBI
director had told him:
"This letter produced yesterday
is not carbon copy or copy Of
any communication prepared or
sent by the FBI to Gen. Boiling
Jan. 2y, 1851 or any other date. -
Mccarthy and Roy M. Cohn.
McCarthy's counsel, had described
the three-page document yesterday
as copy of letter from Hoover
to Maj. Gen. A. r. Boiling, dated
Jan. 26, 1851, when Boiling was
intelligence chief for the Army.
Collier testified that Hoover told
him there is in the FBI files a

randum, written in a different
form and with no signature at all.
Mccarthy put in that the docu'
ment he and Cohn sought to intro.
duce contained verbatim quotes
from the 15-page memo. He said
the document itself included the
notation that certain security infor
nation had been omitted.
Joseph N. WEIGH, Army counsel,
moved in with obvious enthusiasm
to question Collier. It was in his
queries that he termed the Nc.

cisely nothing"
Even while this was going on,
President Eisenhower told his news

hoped the country could derive ad.
vantages from it to offset this loss.

WASHINGTON If President
Eisenhower said today the United
States has suffered q loss of in
ternational prestige as a result of
the row between Sen. Mccarthy
and the Army.
His assertion was made at
news conference at which Eisen-
hover also issued a formal state
ment declaring his unqualified sup
port for Secretary Of State Dulles
and for Dulles efforts to form a
united front against Communism
in Southeast Asia.
On these two main subjects, the
President told newsmen:
McCarthy-Army: He knows of
nothing which would cause him
to lose confidence in Secretary of
the Army Stevens so far as ad-
ministration Of the Army Depart
ment's business is concerned.
On that basis, Eisenhower said
emphatically, he backs Stevens to
the limit.
A reporter reminded Eisenhower
that he had expressed the hope at
his news conference last week that
the Senate inquiry would be ended
quickly.
The newsman added that only

hearing objected to a Republican
proposal to cut the hearings short.

WhoDid What
AT Tavernier?
RumOrs Abound As
To What Did Or Did
Not Happen On Keys
BY DENIS sNEIcE

VINO did what - if anything - to
who at Tavernier last night?
That question was being kicked
around here today as the CITY
slowed down from yesterdays high
speed election tempo.
The rumors about the Tavernier
business were all over the place.
The Associated Press office in
Miami told The Citizen that a
Miami newspaper had reported
that the home of Harlow Bedding
at Tavernier had been invaded by
a mob led by Harry Harris, county
commissioner.
Denial Made
Both Mrs. Bedding and Harris
denied this.
So have another rumor:
The Miami newspaper, accord.
ing to the APP, said Belding pulled
a gun on Harris.
Harris said he didn't see anyone
with a gun.
Mrs. Bedding said her husband
DID have a gun in his hand.
We asked both Harris and Mrs.
Bedding for their story about what
happened last night at Tavernier.
Mr.. Bedding was not available
when we phoned.
Here is what Harris said:
Just A Serenade
1--WE just serenaded the Beld-
ings. / was in one of the Is or 20
cars that drove by the Belongs
home last night. We were blow
ing the horns," Harris said.
The Belongs, it was learned,
had supported Mayor C. B. Har-
vey in his unsuccessful bid for
Bernie c. Papy's seat in the state
house of representatives.
1--WE were kidding and razzing
the Belongs about supporting the
loser," Harris added. at was all
good natured kidding. We even
quoted a campaign slogan that
was used in Tavernier."
Harris said the slogan went like
this:
Be Happy with Papy; Starve
with Harvey.
Harris Explains
"No one," Harris continued,
did any damage to the Belding
home or to their place of business
or to them personally"
When asked if Bedding pulled a
gun on him, Harris said:
''No."
did you see anyone with q
gum" Harris was asked.
NO." he repeated. 81 saw no
one with a gum"
Mrs. Bedding, who operates a
frozen custard stand on U. S. 1
at Tavernier, had this to say:
I'VE were at home last night
about 1850 o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs.
Abraham Cohen were visiting US.
They also live in Tavernier.
Anonymous Call
IAN anonymous phone caller
said that a cavalcade of cars was
wrecking the Cohen home.
"The Cohens," Mrs. Belding
continued, cleft our house and
got in their car. Harry Harris, in
a car, and some other cars, drove
up"
Mrs. Bedding added that Harris

Rep. Papy Reelected By Record Margin
Franklin, Neblett To Compete
In Run-Off For State Senate
BY jim COBB

It the greatest victory of his political career for
State Representative Bernie C. Papy when he was
into office for the 18th time in yesterdays first primary
election.
Papy polled 1922 votes-exacty so per cent of the
ballots cast in his race-to defeat Mayor c. B. Harvey
and former city manager Dave King.
Harvey conceded the election after only three pre-
cincts had reported Papy went pile up plurality

of 1924 votes over his OPP
ponents-the biggest mar
gin he has received in 10
elections since 1884. Harvey
drew 2,157 votes and King
received TIL votes.
In 1852, Papy defeated J.
Y. Porter, Nv, by a margin
of PIT votes, but yester-
days vote eclipsed that rec
ord.
Senate Race Rvnoff
Meanwhile, in the race for the
Senate, Monroe County's william
r. Neblett was forced into run
off with incumbent James A.
Franklin of Fl. Myers.
Neblett won a majority of the
votes in Monroe County but fell off
in the three mainland counties. He
gained 1924 votes here while
Franklin received 1883. Two other
candidates in that race, Travis A.
Gresham and Milton A. Parrot re-
ceived 236 and S69 votes respective
H.
Franklin gained the edge in Lee
County, his home grounds.
But Gresham gained victories in
Collier and Hendry Counties.
The totals:
Lee County: Franklin, 1850,
Gresham, 1854; Neblett, 997 and
PARROT, 81.
Collier County: Gresham, 1,172;
Franklin, 621; Neb1ett, $50 and
PARROT, 81. s,:...a h .'.e'.'' ,'s,,- .
Hendry County: Gresham. 1856;
Franklin, $50; 5. Neblett, 219 and
Parrot, 40.
Edge To Franklin
Franklin piled up an edge in that
race with total of 5,739 votes.
Neblett gained spot in the sec.
ond primary with 1880 ballots and
Gresham was barely eliminated
with 4,72S votes.
Gerald A. Saunders, chairman of
the county commission, was vir-
tually assured of reelection when
he received 1921 votes as COM
pared with 1884 for William E.
Gates - margin of 1917 votes.
However, $50 absentee ballots have
yet to be tabulated.
The county commission tackled
that task this morning but are not
expected to finish until late today
or tomorrow.
Keller Watson apparently was
elected to the Monroe County
School Board from the third dis
trict. He polled 1883 votes as COM
pared with incumbent j. Carlyle
Roberts 2,421. The final outcome
of that race also depends on the
tabulation of the absentee ballots.
Commission RvnoH
In the race for a seat on the
county commission from the Sec
ond district, william A. Freeman,
Jr., led the field and will compete
in a runoff election May Is with
the second place candidate, incum-
bent Frank Bentley. Freeman re-
ceived 2,575 votes and Bentley, l.
879. Rodman J. Bethel was eli.
minated from the race when he
received 972 votes.
Veteran political observers hail
ed the fact that acting governor
Charley E. Johns carried Monroe
County as something of an upset.
Johns received 2,314 votes while
Bradley Oldham polled 2,235 ballots.
Leroy Collins trailed with 1880
votes.

Rules On All Food
Service Licences

Many Ohio eating places may
be removed from food service
license requirements by a new
Attorney Generals ruling, DR.
John D. Porterfield, Director OF
Health, said today.
No more food service licenses
should be issued to places where
there is a doubt as to whether
they are holding out to the
public" DR.. Porterfield said in
a memorandum to all local
health commissioners. This re-
suited from a recent Attorney
Generals opinion relative to the
authority to license food opera
tons of county children's homes
and infirmarieS.
In making this opinion, the
Attorney General stated that
"the entire definition (of a food
service operation) is modified by
the requirement that in each in
stance there must be a holding
out to the public"
While the decision was direct
ed at children's homes anc
county infirmaries," DR.. Porter
field stated, 'it has broad i'm
plications. Where there is an!
doubt as to whether there is ;
holding out to the public, i
would be advisable that the
health commissioner seek tht
opinion of the county prosecutor
or the city solicitor"
