KEY WEST. Fla, Jan. 2f.-
A ''temperamental person" caused
some Of the friction that exists
between the Navy and the city
Of Key West, according to a
veteran newspaper editor.
Norman Artman, publisher Of
the Citizen, Key Vests only
daily newspaper. said yesterday
the "temperamentaI person" was
Rear Admiral George C. Towner.
who on Tuesday relinquished
command of the big naval base
here and was succeeded by Rear
Admiral Harry H. Henderson.
A Washington report said the
Navy intends to curtail its opera
tions at Key West unless the
city remedies police brutality
and prostitution.
It also said "the Navy receives
unfavorable publicity from the
only daily newspaper in Key
West since the commander q
the naval base recently ternni-
mated . printing contract with
it."
Mr.. Artman said this state
ment was "the figment of
temperamental persons imagina-
ton.
"I've worked with the Navy
for a lifetime and there never
before have been such nafsun-
derstandings as he (Admiral
Towner) alleges 10 exist" said
Mr.. Artman.
I'VE cover the news. but in
the tradition Of impartiality," !"
Mr.. Artman continued. The
Navy has been In Key West for
100 years and we're proud of the
service, We always considered
that II we leaned at all 1t was
to be favorable to it."
City Judge Enrique Esquinaldo
said the Nays report that Navy
men were given heavier fines
than civilians "just doesn't make
sense
He said he believed he had
been fair and impartial in his
court and that, "if anything, !
have been more lenient with the
sailors"

Polio Attack Shown
Immunizing Family
To Patient S Infection
By Alton [. BIokesIes
A,sotiaiad Pres, seisnes Editor


NEW YORK. Jan. 21-When
one person in a family gets polio,
nearly everyone else in that fam
lily has the same virus infection
with no sickness, a new study
indicates.
And that is a good thing for
them. It means they get immun-
ity apparently permanently -
against that type Of polio virus.
They could still be susceptible
to other types Of polio virus.
There are three known types Of
virus which can cause paralytic
polio in humans.
This finding was described
today to a polio conference.

type Of virus which attacked
them.)
In 26 of 81 households studied,
the Tulane team found that

nearly every other previously
non-immune household associate
also was infected" This was
shown by finding protective anti
bodies in their blood against that
virus type.
Polio even invades babies with

Sixty infants have since beer
found to have become immune
to one or more types Of virus

means they had been exposed
to the virus. and developed anti
bodies without ever showing
signs of polio sickness.
Many of the babies had older
brothers or sisters who. at the
outset of the study, had no
immunity as shown by blooc
tests.
But most Of these older chill
dren also have become immune
to the same virus types, with
no signs of sickness. They had
been exposed at the same time,
and perhaps had passed the
virus on to the infants.
Few babies got the virus be-
fore age 0 months. The ap-
parent reason is that newborn
infants inherit antibodies which
their mothers already had In

Property Tax Up
For Major Test
In Alaska House
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, Pup for a major
test in the Alaska House Of Rep
resentatives today will be the re-
vised General Property Tax
measure. It would apply the one
percent property tax outside cit
les and taxing districts for the
benefit Of a special rural school
district fund.
The measure comes up on sec
ond reading and sentiment has
grown to replace it with an out
right property registration law for
rural areas. It has lost support,
sponsors admit, on the grounds
that it would cost SO much to adj
minister in such a vast area as
Alaska.
Tax Commissioner Karl Dewey
has estimated that it would prob
ably bring in around 100000
during the biennium but that the
costs Of assessing and collecting it
the first biennium would run to
100000 or more while the initial
job Of getting all property on the
books was tackled.
One legislator expressed the
opinion this weekend that he has
changed from a one-time position
Of property tax exponent to oppo-
nent. He said so much more prop
erty is included in public utility
districts now than when the origi-
nal property tax was enacted in
1949 that it would result in a
sharp cut in revenue prospects.
However, one experienced sem
ator who has been working ac-
lively on trying to balance the
budget remarked Saturday that it
looks as though the legislature
had better start looking seriously
for more new tax revenue to sup
port the General Fund.

day for Gov. Heintzleman today

deadline on whether to veto or
allow it to become law without
his signature
The governor has never vetoed
a bill and has given no indication
Of his plans. The proposal would

pointments Of its own if it dis
liked a gubernatorial one and re-
fused twice to confirm it,
The executive was host to the

Of Representatives at a buffet
supper at the executive mansion
over the weekend.
The measure was passed orig
inally strictly on party lines, q
Democrats to 3 Republicans in the
House and II Democrats to 4 Re
publicans in the Senate.
Principal arguments for the
measure, which was introduced
by Rep. Burke Riley D-Haines),
have been that the legislature
should have closer control over
appointments as the governor is
an appointee himself and is not
so directly responsible to the peo-
pie.
