Test On Road BMg:
Machine Begin Today
Ne,o Operation
May Saue Money
On Paving Costs

FlrSC tests on a road build
ing machine city officials
hope will save them at least
one-third of an estimated
100000 street paving pro-
gram, got under way this
morning at 7th Street, near
Flagler Avenue.
The machine, known as a Sea-
man Trav-L-Plant, is being tried
out on a money back guarantee ba-
sis. The city commission purchas-
ed the machine after City Manag-
err Victor Lang and Public Ser
vice Director Ivan Roberts jour-
neyed to Orlando to see it in op-
Grafton.
The city fathers adopted their
"wait and see" attitude until it is
determined what the result is in
Key West with the type of mater
ial used here. In Orlando, sand is
used while locally mari base is
to be used.
Too Early To EvaIvate
Mayor C. B. Harvey, who OBJ
served the tests this morning, said
that "it is too early to evaluate
the results of the tests, but it looks
like the machine has great posi-
biGtieS.'
Harvey pointed out that the ma
chine is a great time saver when
he said that this mornings test
resulted in the paving of one black
of street in about 80 minutes.
= '.aas Public Service Director Rob-
erts added that under the system
his workmen have been using, it
would require five men about two
days to complete the same amount
Of work.
Ira Fender, an official of the Flo
rida Equipment Company, who
sold the machine to the city, sup
ervised the tests during which city
workmen will be trained in the OPP
Grafton of the road builder. He ex-
planned that the machine is design
ed to make use of the existing ma
terial on the city's roadways. He
said that it is capable of laying
down streets equal in quality to
the best now existing eff the same
graded and prepared.
Four Steps
The road building method con-
SiSts of four steps.
In the first, the road bed is
graded an prepared.
Secondly, the road bed is "sacri-
ficed'' by raking it up with a motor
grader and in the third step, the
travelling plant passes over it and
mixes asphalt with the material -
a process known as "admixing" in
which the material Tin Key West,
mari is the materially is set in mo-
ton, thoroughly mixed with as
phalt and laid down again.
The fourth step consists of roll
ing and curing. In this process, a
solvent which has been added to
the asphalt evaporates and the
road is soon ready for use.
Good Material Needed
Fender emphasized that ''you
can't make a silk purse out of a
Sow's ear"
''In other words" he said "the
street will be just as good as the
material you put into it."
He pointed out that the travel
ling plant effects its biggest saw
ing over the usual "plant mixed"
paving, because the machine con-
solidates several operations into
one step.
Fender added that in other cities,
as much as two-miles of paving
have been laid down in one day
with the machine.
In today's test, it travelled at
the rate of about one mile per
hour. The result was pa inch
coating of mari and asphalt which
will later be rolled. City officials
are hopeful that it will solve the
city's road building problems.

Key West enjoyed its third
accident-free day during the

cording to police department
records.
City officials are hopeful that
it will indicate the city's traf-

Police and other law enforce

an average of 40 accidents per

You do not have to Starve in
garnet to be a frustrated writer.
You can feel unappreciated
while living well in New York S
Ritz Tower, though this is, of
course. the hard way. 1t is also
the way Goodman Ace feels I'M
appreciated and he fees it SO
much that all television writer's
are encompassed in the feeling.
Mn. Ace, producer and top
writer of the Milton Berle
Show" has just voiced a plant
that has been registered here
on several occasions. In too
many areas of television, the
plays not the thing at all. The
Ace views are passed along by
Allen Churchill in the March
issue of Esquire.
"On TV shows they first get
a star. then a soundman. then
a producer" complains Mr.. Ace.
Then they decide to get a script.
Somebody remembers two guys
who have a typewriter and need
work. So they are hired as
writer's. It is all wrong. On
any show. the writer should
come first"
Lucille Balls Lucy" may be
loved by millions (she's back in
the lead over "Dragnet" in the
latest ARB and Nielsen reports g..
but she has incurred Mr.. Aces
wrath. She did it easily. simply
by publicly brushing off those
who write her show.
1--WE memorize the script and
throw it away" she was quoted
as saying. LAS if that reduced
the writer's contribution to moth
ing" snarled Mr.. Ace to Inter-
viewer Churchill.
Miss Ball is not the only TV
personality to irk Mr.. Ace. All
actors and comedians on televi-
sion who steadfastly refuse to
admit that material is written
for them remain a mystery to
him.
When they appear in a play
or a movie they are only too glad
to admit an author wrote it,
televiSion's highest-paid comedy
writer points out. "On the air
they want to put over the i'm
preston that they are ad-libbing
when every one knows they are
not"
A highly effective demonstra-
ton of the validity of Mr.. Aces
complaint was on view Sunday
right there on the network which
employs him. 1t was the NBC-
TV Comedy Hour" on which
Jimmy Durante starred with Tai
lulah Bankhead and Carol Chan
ming as guest entertainers.
This is a tempting and reas-
surfing set of names on any
marquee. Durante, the beloved
clown, is surefire comic. Miss
Bankhead's robust personality
can explode right off the face of
the viewing tube. Miss Chan
ning's version of the predatory
blond is one of the delights of
the present-day entertainment
world.
A show with their combined
talents couldn't miss. But it did
this time. It's failure could not

Fair Trade Law Here
Urged by Merchants

A group OF Washington mer-'
chants and manufacturers yes
terday urged the Commissioners
to submit legislation for So
called fair trade practices here.
It is a periodic move that has
been made since 1888 to permit
the manufacturers Of brand
name merchandise to nix the
wholesale and retail price Of
goods. It would have the effect
Of prohibiting dealers in brand
name products from underselling
each other. SIT
The proposed bill is headed:
can act to protect trademark
owners and the general public
against injuries and uneconomic
practices" Previous flair trade"
bills have died in Congress be-
cause of resistance to the idea
of permitting manufacturers to
fix their own prices.
The vast majority Of States
now have laws permitting such
practices on articles sold COM
petitively. The proposed law
here would make such practices
voluntary. Recourse in cases Of
violating it's provisions would be
through, civil rather than Grim
inal, procedure. Only the sale OF
new goods would be involved.

and $4,000.
Segars was caught by State
