BERLIN R-The Big Four for

this afternoon after a Sunday re-

The American, British and

New Key Wet-Cmhu Auto
Ferry Plan Is Announced
Sirugo To Ask
Lease On City
O,Cned Land On
Waterfront

Joe Sirugo, local contrac-
tor and movie operator said
today that he will ask for a
lease from the city on a par
eel of waterfront property
at the north end of Simon
ton Street for use as the
terminus for a auto-ferry
line between Key West and
Cardenas, Cuba.
Sirugo told newsmep at a press
conference at the Chamber Of Com
merce office this morning that he
will present the city commission
with an offer to lease the city-own-
cd wagner property" which has
lain idle for upwards Of 80 years.
lie promised that II he is given
q lease, he win break gound for
The construction of buildings to
handle up to 200 passengers within
six months. And he said that unless
his company actually starts opera
tons prior to next December, the
lease would be voided.
Siyvso's offer Is the second 10
be presented during the past
year, Earlier, the Marine Bridge
Transport Company, . Cuban
concern, indicated thai they were
contemplating . ferry service
but no action has been annoUn-
eed on fhe deal. They were to
have run thrice weekly service
between Key West and Havana
using converted Navy iandina
ship, but . long series Of labor
trouble and dock shortage in ha.
vana have plagued them.
The city more than a year ago
purchased the Clyde Mallory Docks
for use as a terminal but they are
now rented to a local shrimp pack
err and the city has granted per-
mission for the construction of a
public fishing pier there.
The latest offer came as the re-
suit of four months of negotiations
with Cuban officials, Sirugo said.
Present plans call for the opera
ton Of the ferry line three times
per week between Key West and
cardenas, which lies only IS miles
from Key West as compared with
the "a miles to Havana.
In addition, there is surplus Of
dock space in Cardenas while Ha-
vana harbor is overcrowded result
ing is a serious shortage of dock
space. cardenas, about Is miles
ea.t of Havana, Is also adjacent
to the Via Blanca, new four lane
highway running between Havana
and Veradero Beach, multi-mil-
lion dollar resort area. 1t would re-
quire only a two hour drive to
reach Veradero from Cardenas
Vehicles entering Cuba at that
point would also avoid Havana,s
heavy and often erratic automobile
traffic, ii was pointed out today.
The Cuban Tourist Commission
has put their stamp of approval on
the proposal, Sirugo added. He ex-
hibited a letter from orencio No.
darse, president Of that organiza-
ton, endorsing the plan.
Sirugo said that negotiations are
under way for two vessels, one Of
which would accommodate A autos
and the other n vehicles. He add

But they're equipped with hit
ters, too.
The Senators, who can't claim
a 300 hitter among their regu-
lars, are meeting a team which
boasts five players batting 1903
or better.
Rookie Bill Tuttle, a .276 hit

Jim Delsing, is batting 1922 and
Third BaSeman Ray Boone is
hitting at a 1888 clip. Shortstop
Harvey Kuenn is batting .306
and First Baseman Walt Dropo
1903.
Bucky Harris is hoping for
swift improvement by his club.
The Senators hitting has perked
up bit in the last two games,
producing IL runs and cluster
of four homers, but they dropped
5-4 and 7-6 decisions.
The clubs executives are scan

effort to obtain more adequate
