WASHINGTON —Three-year-old Joseph Maestri of Arlington,
Va., grins with thumb in mouth as Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower
laughs. Joseph tried Thursday to make a presentation of
“beanies” to Mrs. Eisenhower for her grandchildren. It was
their second meeting. Joseph was wearing his beanie some
time ago at a Community Chest fund meeting. The Presi
dent’s wife admired it and told him her grandson, David, 5,
would like one. At Thursday’s meeting Joseph showed up
with three beanies; dropped one; stuck a thumb in his mouth,
and then dropped another beanie. The First Lady picked up
the beanies. She laughed. Joseph grinned.— i/P) Wirephoto.

BRIEFS
WASHINGTON UV-Adm. Robert
Carney says the Joint Chiefs of
Staff must devise a flexible na
tional defense against a “definite
but not imminent” menace of
Soviet atomic attack.
Carney, Navy member of the
joint chiefs, told questioners at a
National Press Club luncheon yes
terday that, when it comes to
atomic age weaponeering:
“If we can do it, there is no
reason to believe the Soviets can’t
do it”
NEW YORK un Metropolitan
Museum of Art guards have voted
to return to work, since they now
face possible loss cf their jobs
over a 12-day strike for higher
pay.
Wilbur Duberstein, counsel for
the Museum Guardians Union of
America, (Ind.), said yesterday
the return - to - work vote resulted
from a museum announcement
several days ago withdrawing its
recognition of the union.
The museum, which closed its
doors to protect art treasures af
ter the walkout started, said it
will announce tomorrow its plans
for reopening.
BERLIN, Ufc—A million pounds
of American surplus butter will
be given away tomorrow to the
people of Berlin, the International
Rescue Committee announced to
day.
The committees, which paid the
shipping costs of the butter with
private donations in the United
States, is making it available to
! Berliners from the Soviet as well
ias the Allied sectors.
The butter will be distributed in
; half-pound portions.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, (fl
Tired of talk and surveys of “ju
venile delinquency,” Kent County’s
three circuit judges are posting
$l5O for the high school senior
writing the best essay on “adult
delinquency.”
“More emphasis should be
placed on adult delinquency,” said
Judge Dale Souter last night in
announcing the essay contest.
“Parents, rather than youngsters,
! should be investigated if a con
gressional investigation is needed
to curb juvenile delinquency.”
DARDANELLE, Ark. UB A
couple of young ladies blocked
traffic for a mile on a busy high
way near here, but motorists did
loot mind when they were told the
reason.
Mrs. Elmer Holmes set out with
her farmer-husband and 11-year
old son for a hospital. When the

; Holmes told her husband to stop
jthe car and send their son to the
[nearest house for a doctor.
When Dr. Roy I. Millard ar

j mother and twin daughters were

The twins were born yesterday
at a rush hour on Highway 27, and
ears were lined up a half-mile in
either direction.

left.
But, Toppino Company officials
havo taken a dim view of the
situation. The concrete, valued
at S4O, was a total loss. They

whom, remains to bo seen.
At this point, Mrs. Trevor, sus
pecting a neighbor, began to have
the merchandise transferred to
that address. The neighbor, who
denies any part in the matter, is
retaliating by having her attorney
file an injunction in Circuit Court
to stop the flow of merchandise
into her yard.
As the prankster continued
his nefarious activities, Mrs.
Trevor said that unwanted
milk and grocery deliveries
popped up unexpectedly at her
home.
The Key West Venetian Blind
Company delivered a load of
blinds, but hastily retreated when
they heard the story.
An anonymous phone caller
placed a want ad in The Citizen
yesterday. It read:
‘Tor Sale: Black Cocker pup
py. Owner leaving town. A buy
at $3.00. 1829 Harris Avenue.
Phone 2-5896.”
When the queries began to roll
in Mrs. Trevor hiked on down to
The Citizen. “We don’t have a
dog for sale and we are not leav
ing town,” she declared. ‘This
business is getting me down.”
Meanwhile, more merchandise
has arrived, including a prescrip
tion from a local drug store.
Ramsey the trucker arrived to
move her furniture out.
Law enforcement officials are

The board considered the cases

Of that number, 112 were tried and

water at lower cost,” Harvey
argued.
“I’m in favor of getting water
to Key West, but in the most eco
nomical way possible by the
easy payment plan,” he added.
Harvey also cited the fact that the
engineering report recognized the
“stage construction” plan.
“Why are we being rushed into
j this? Let’s do it in easy stages and
save interest,” he continued. '
At this point, onginoor Green
loaf took tho floor again to point
out that his company did recog
nixo tho stago construction plan,
but that thoir recommendation to
tho Aquoduct Commission was
that tho comploto lino bo built
at ono timo.
He pointed out that by produc
ing themselves, the Commission
could cut the cost of water from
34 cents to 17 cents. They pay the
former amount to the Navy for
each gallon they use.
Greenleaf added that if pumping
stations were added to the present
line, as Harvey advocates, the cost
of pumping water goes up rapidly
with each addition.
When State Representative Pa
py took the floor, he scored Har
vey’s talk as “political.”
”1 thought this was a political
Issuo all tho tima and now I
know it," said Papy. "As an on
ginoor, Harvoy is all right, but as
a politician, ho is far afiold."
“But I didn’t come here to talk
politics,” he said as he discussed
the issue.
Papy outlined the situation when
plans were afoot to build the Over
seas Highway. He reiterated his[
statement that the progress in
Monroe County is dependent on the
ability to supply them with water.
Ho answered Harvey's criti
cism on tho manner in which
tho water bond question is being
handled by pointing out that tho
bond issuo for tho city's sower j
project was never put before the j
people for referendum.
He also pointed out that proper-'
ty owners on the keys cannot help
the line even on Roosevelt;
Boulevard with the city limits, i
He also said that the keys area
carries 60 per cent of the County;
Tax load and that if it were neces
sary to assess taxes, which is
:doubtful, the ywould pay the lions’:
share of the levy.
Papy answered a question pos
ed by Melvin Levitt, president of
the Key West Motor Court Asso- 1
ciation, who protested the ad val
orem clause, by saying that he
has “faith in the future growth of
our community.”
Levitt said that he would vote
for the bond issue if the “unlimit
ed tax clause were removed.”

Meanwhile, a meeting of Navy,
civilian, and school officials eval

“However, in order to inform the
public regarding publicity given a

the football game), we feel that

be publicized. This letter is self

the true picture of this situation.
At the meeting in the Naval

mer, Mr. Nee said.
New polio cases, fortunately,
have decreased this year from the
all-time high of 1952. It was estim
ated, however, that 66,000 polio

mothers who participated last year.

'mately |15.0 has been spent by
the Monroe County chapter of the
polio foundation to care for the 33
cases of the disease in the county
this year.
That figure does not include the
cost of gamma globulin that era*
given to more than 8.500 persons.
The National Foundation paid for
the GG.
Last year the drive for funds to
fight polio collected $26,545.53 in
Monroe County, the highest per

to the National Foundation.
