Mayor c. B. Harvey
City Hall
Key West, Florida ....
Dear Mayor Harvey,
Your correspondent has just re-
turned to New York after a va
cation in Florida. had planned to
spend several days in Key West,
but I am obliged to state that l
lief. with considerable pleasure and
relief at the earliest opportunity On
Sunday, May 2, after arriving on
Saturday, May /.
The circumstances motivating
such an abrupt departure were of
kind deserving of your earnest
consideration, not only from a per-
Sonal standpoint, but from the
standpoint of the best interests of
your city. 1t seems to me that if
Key West is to win and deserve
holiday visits by vacationing bus
mess people of any stature and in
tegrity, there must be a marked
change in the ways in which visit
ors are treated by certain mum.
cipal employees.
Bleak Experience
had the bleak experience of
spending my only night in Key
West in your Jail. If I had COM
mitted some offenSe of conse-
quence. I would be obliged to adj
NIT that 1 had it coming to me.
In the light of events as they act
ually took place, however, my at
titude is far different. In fact the
entire episode was quite incredi-
BILE.
About 1:45 a. m. or Whereabouts
was peacefully walking down
Duval Street alone, heading for
my waterfront motel, when one of
your gendarmes grabbed me and
tossed me without ceremony or
explanation into his patrol wagon.
I was promptly hustled off to jail
and put in a cell for the first time
in my life.
Nothing happened for more than
an hour. Eventually an officer
came in and asked for my name.
In view of my bewilderment over
what had happened, / think you
will agree that it made sense for
me to inquire why l was in con.
finement, and what he wanted my
name for.
No Explanation
In reply l received muttered pro-
family and the officers back. It
wasn't until after 6 a. m. that I
succeeded in summoning a police.
man who said that the reason /
was in jail was because I had
been drunk on the street."
It may be germane to point out
here (a) that 1 have never been
a drinker to excess, at least in
public places, and that CD / am

atoms for cerebral hemorrhages,
and excessive drinking would be a
speedy way for me to kill myself,
a fact of which I am well aware.
In fact my Florida vacation was
a health and recovery trip.
But let's give your police the
break of stating that they may have

UNITED ACTION IN INDo-cHINA

The United States should make one point clear to all
the world before agreeing to any united action plan to
oppose Communism in ndoChina That that the French
must agree to complete independence with dominion
status desired for the three Associated States
China
the French will not agree to this and if they do not
act Immediately to grant such independence the
United States has business whatsoever in sending
troops amen any other armed forces to take part
in united action effort to Indo-China from the
Communists
It will be remembered that it has been three years
to grant independence to the Associated States of Indo
China Each year Congress is told the thing-tha
underway which will grant independence
and each year nothing happens The French have been
using this same line since 1851, and have been obtaining
increasing quantities of u. S. aid on this promise
The French however, have not made good on their
promise, and their failure to do is the for
much native support of the Communists in ndoChina
showdown this issue must be forced.
The French must take this STEP since it is the only
way obtain maximum cooperation from the natives of
China and the only way to counter both Communist
propaganda and raise the morale of Vienam troops The
United States has been put off this point too long If
we had demanded showdown year or two ago, the
in Indo-Chna might have developed differently.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON

At last we arrive at our jour- ney'S end along the path of the Kodiak when we make our next stop eastward at the constellation called Leo or the lion.
 Regulus is the most important star in the constellation of Leo.
 By looking at star chart we can see there is good reason for think ing these stars look like lion. The Peruvians in South America made these stars into a puma or South American lion.
 Thousands of years ago the sun was in Leo in midsummer. Natur- ally Leo and the flaming star Regulus were associated with the great heat those ancient people endured because they lived near the tropics. The sun was the brightest and most important heavenly body, while the lion was the most powerful of animals, so the two became associated.
 Leo is usually identified by the Sickle in Leo" This name is applied to the group of stars in the western part of the constella- tion.

From Disney Movie
BY The Assoeiosed Press

"a
BALTIMORE. Aug. l8.-The

consulted.

tendent. and DR.. Thomas Pullen,
State school superintendent. to
view the episode. Meanwhile.
he explained, the scene re-
mains out of the picture.

ter from Mrs. Louis A. Huether,
first vice president Of the CO.
ordinating council Of the Balti-
more Public School Parent
Teacher Organizations, as fol-
lows:
"It is my opinion that this
type of scene in q picture which
will attract children's audiences
is indicate: and, In view Of
the publicity which has already
appeared in the public press,
will provoke curiosity among
the children and lead to confu-
sion in the home"
The Walt Disney organization
has indicated it will fight
against cutting the 20-second
scene.
