President Sees
Less Fear OF
Clobal War
BY b. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON R--President FL
senhower said today he believes
the fear of global war is at a
lower level now than at any time
IN the last few years.
The President was asked at his
news conference whether he be-
lieved the chances of peace are
brighter than at any time since
ne took office two years ago.
Eisenhower said he wanted to
differentiate between peace and an
armistice, but stated he believes
far of a global war is less now
than at any time since he went
abroad to head up NATO- the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion. That was in January of 1851.
The old Indian treaty room
where the President traditionallv
holds news conferences was lam
med with more than 200 reporters
anxious to question Eisenhower
about Sen. McCarthy's charges of
weakness against communism.
Questioned On Charges
eisenhower refused to make a
rect reply, recalling that he does
ot indulge in personal vitupera-
sion, but stands for positive things
while Always upholding the right
OF congress to investigate legiti-
mate affairs in the executive
branch. :
Asked about the statement bv
Paul M. Butler, the new Demo.
cratic national chairman. that Eli
senhower lacks the capacity to
lead and unite the American peo-
pie," the President once again said
ne was not going to reply to an
Individual attack directly
But he declared in a firm voice
tnat ne had heard such charges
before and that too often politicians
look into looking glass instead of
window.
Other Subjects

say on other matters:

Fla. Mullet Season
Ends December 10.

A state regulation which pro-
hibits mullet fishing after Dec. 10
will be strictly enforced this year,
according to state conservation de-
partment agents Joe knight and
John Castell.
The law, which prohibits the TAX.
ing, possession or selling both
black and silver mullet, sets a 40
day closed season.
Several special conservation a.
gents have been added to enforce
the ruling through the state.
The law has been on the books
for several years, but has never
been wholly enforced.
Reason For Ban
Reason for the stepped-up en-
forcement is that last year, dealers
were selling silver mullet for food
fish. Normally, only black mullet
is sold for food while silver mullet
is used for bait.
Dealers and others possessing
mullet will be granted five day
grace period in which to dispose
of mullet caught before Dec. 10
and still on hand when the closed
season begins.
Persons possessing mullet on
Dec. Is, must make a declaration
to the state board of conservation
as to the number of pounds on
hand and its location.
It is illegal to possess mullet In
any form that has not been de-
clared, after Dec. Is.
Reopens Jan. ~
The mullet closed season ends
at midnight, Jan. 19.
During the 40 day closed season.
no mullet can be sold or transpo|
ed within the state of Florida ex
cept Salted or smoked mullet and
frozen silver mullet.
In order to sell or transport these
types of mullet, they must first be
declared and the possessor must
make application to the board ef
conservation in Tallahassee for a
permit to sell or transport said
mullet.
Frozen silver mullet can be sold
to bait dealers only.
Mullet in any form, possessed
and declared on Dec. Is, can be
sold and transported out of the
state of Florida if the possessor
makes an application to the board
of conservation for permit to sell
and transport the mullet.
Persons possessing frozen null
let that have been declared and
desire to smoke said mullet for
sale within the state of Florida,
can do so if they first obtain a
permit from the board of conser-
walton.
Penalty for violation of the law
can range up to $500 fine and six
months Imprisonment. In addition,
food and fish dealers can lose their
state licenses upon conviction.

Court yesterday.
The court ruled the law uncon.

bed blessing from Pope Plus XII
closing the Marian year.
Pope Plus blessing as well as an
Ave Maria and a few words of
greeting were recorded for broad
cast from his sick bed by Vatican
radio and the radio networks of
other countries. Arrangements
were made for the Pope's words 10
be heard both inside the basilica
and in the square outside, where
thousands gathered.
The Pope's blessing was ''urbi ct

the world.
The Marian year was inaugu-

the Virgin Mary upon the ceEten.

her immaculate conception.

A Cuban newsman, Luis Alvarez

that while the Cuban radio has car
ried nothing but patriotic programs
for the past two days due to a ma
tlonal holiday, the airwaves have
been full today of comment on the
incident.
When contacted by The Citizen
today, and asked if he had any
comment, DR.. Campbell said fiat
ly: NO"

He added that he had not been
misquoted but opined that he had
said nothing to cause all this up

Meanwhile, both Monroe County
school superintendent Horace o.
Bryant and school board chairman
Gerald Adams, have declined 70
comment on the matter.
The Citizen has learned, however.
that a delegation of parents will
appear at meeting of the school
board next Tuesday to discuss the
matter.
Julio Cabanas, IN, president of
the San Carlos Institute, today is
sued a statment deploring the bad
publicity resulting from the Incl

Bad Publicity DepIored
We have been working for years
to promote good relations between
Key West and Cuba to cultivate
our tourist business. If people are
going around spreading the false
impression that people are a bunch
OF monsters over there, it is going
to hurt u.s." said Cabanas.
He added that in 1858 San Car
los, supported by the Cuban gov
ernment, sponsored the trip to Ha-
vana of the band and that he per.
sonally inspected the accommoda-
tons and supervised the arrange
ments.
Both the crew of the ship and

In hteir power to see that the chill
dren were made comfortable -
they were gentlemen in evry res

Sits In Chair

sriief the p0ntiaf had been
carried to an easy chair for five
minutes while his bed was remade.
It was his first time out of bed
since serious collapse Thursday
raised grave fears for his life.
An authoritative source said the
pontiff's doctor, Riccardo Galeazzi-
Lisi, plans to walk his patient
daily, gradually increasing the
number of steps, as a precaution
against i'll effects from prolonged
immobility.
AT noon the Vatican announced
that the Pope's recovery continues.
ThunderstormS over Rome last
night disturbed the Pope's rest,
but the day was bright and sunny
for the final celebrations of the
year honoring the Virgin Mary.
A television set installed in his
bedroom brought the Pope close
up of the street celebrations and
church services in honor of the
Virgin.
Assists In Mass
The Pope assisted this morning
from his bed in celebration of
Mass. Later he recited prayers to
the Virgin with the Rev. Robert
Leiber, the German Jesuit who is
chief of his personal secretariat.
Today was an important one for
the pontiff, who inaugurated the
Marian Year just a year ago to
honor the Virgin and commemo-
rat the centenary of the dogma
of her Immaculate conception.
The dogma established as Roman
Catholic faith the belief that Mary
alone of mankind was born with
out the stain Of Adam and Ewes
original sin.
Roman Catholics throughout the
world have been holding special
services and congress in her honor.

AS muscle-man who belatedly
discovers love and the discon-
certing impulse toward unselfish-
ness and decency, Brando has a
role perfectly cut to his measure.
He is doing quite well in his wa
terfront jungle. but others are
not: fine girls whose brothers get
killed and a neighborhood priest
who believes honest men should
not live at the mercy of dishonest
ones.
1t is Brando's chore to show the
evolution of this dockside hood
into a creature who can redirect
his anger and his fearlessness and
his fighting instinct against those
who made him what he is. He
brings it off brilliantly in its
every shading. a performance
that cannot escape nomination
for the acting honors of 1854.
There are numerous other
powerfully made portraits in this
waterfront gallery. A superlative
one is Cobb's pier boss who mixes
primitive psychology and brutal
1ty into a terrifying tyranny. An
other is Malden's representation
OF a fighting priest, a man of God
who proves his mettle by being
first a man of men.
Miss Saint, a first timer in
films, turns in a powerful, if sub
dued, performance as Terry Mall
Toys inspiring girl; Rod Steiger
is impressive as the hero's craven
brother who sells his soul to the
boss, and the others are the kind
OF actors Director Kazan insists
upon. This goes even for such

and evil facts of life around
them. The life-and love and
hate-with which he is dealing
here is that which turns New
York's waterfront into a night
naarish jungle.
This is the stuff of passionate
narrative and Kazan's cameras
follow it remorSelessly into every
murky shadow of the dock area
and the black hearts of the labor
bosses who have wrought its de-
grading design. Budd Schulberg,
a@fearless and indignant writer,

TO movies for being good. I'm
doubtedly. there is more to the
waterfront story than it gets
around to telling but what it
has to say is savagely eloquent.
Brando. at his best in Kazarl
pictures, is perfectly cast in
"On the Waterfront" AS Terry
Malloy, Drawn boy of a pier
racketeer, he is playing once
again one of those dumb ami
NAL characters in whose nature
turks a desire to be neither
dumb nor animal. Yet all of
Terry's avenues of escape from
his own baseness are cut off by
his own ignorance and the guile
of the pier boss, Lee j. Cobb,
until he meets up with the Sis
ter of a mob victim on whom
Terry put the finger. and a
waterfront priest who loathes
tyranny.
ION the Waterfront" is, sub
stantially, the battle for Terry's
soul by these two on the one
side and Cobb's racketeering
union on the other. It is
brutal. blood-spattered battle
interrupted by intervals of
pathetic, cropping tenderness be-
tween the so-different lovers
that allows no moment of dull
ness along the films 108-minute
course.
AS usual when Kazan sets out
to illustrate dramatic thesis,
this one blazes with excitement.
He is dealing here with brutal
bossism which has made itself
absolute by controlling all long

busy New York piers. The mass
of union members it makes SUBJ

dumb loyalty. Boss Johnny

Alaska Statehood Seen Risky With U.S.-Red Tension
By FRANK w. VAILLE
ZAP Special Washington serviceI


 WASHINGTON, R-Speaker of the House Martin R-Mass) said Tuesday he now considers state hood legislation to be up in the air at this session of Congress.
 T honestly couldn't say," he replied when asked how he saw the prospects for passage of pend ing statehood bills for either-or both-Hawaii and Alaska.
 Martin reiterated, however, his accord with the House action in voting to admit only Hawaii in contrast with Senate approval of statehood for both territories.
 He said he is not opposed to the idea of granting statehood to All aska when he feels the territory is ready.
 "I have nothing but the best of good will for Alaska" he declared. II think it is right that they should seek statehood.'
 "I don't believe, however, that Alaska is developed enough, that it has people enough or wealth enough for statehood at this time"
 Martin suggested also that lit might be hazardous to give state hood to Alaska with the present tenseness between Russia and the United States"
 Noting that Alaska lies right in the path" of potential aggres- sion, he said he felt the United States could move into Alaska more quickly If il doesn't have to deal with state authorities"
 Martin was asked if he felt the proposal to give statehood to only the populated areas of Alaska, with the unpopulated western and northern sections remaining a ter ritory, would meet this objection. He indicated he felt it might, but added:
 "The people up there don't want
