FROG HOLLOW NEWS Harry Van Riper Washes Own Soap From Windows

By MARY HICKEY Riviera-Times Correspondent The moon rode high over the Hollow on Hallowe'en, and a stray dark cloud or two, gliding over its clear white surface, lent an eeriness to the night that was fully enjoyed by the numerous small witches, pirates and ghosts whose merry little giggles accompanied the mysterious ringing doorbells or sudden "tic-tacs" on window panes. Long after most of the "small fry" were dreaming of pumpkins and candy corn, the wind whisked away a dark cloud and the full streaming light of the moon shone on a slightly older "small boy" decorating gleefully with soap the windows of a neighbor's house—and the bright dawning of day treated the residents of Sixtieth Court to the sight of one Harry Van Riper mournfully washing windows at the Diestelhorst residence! Tsk, tsk, Harry—have you lost the knack of not getting caught? It's Strawberries! Speaking of the Diestelhorsts, we've watched Kay and Fred lovingly tending some plants at the side of their house for the past few weeks and curiosity finally getting the better of us, we strolled over the other day to find out just what was the object of their affection. It's strawberries!—and we're hoping that their efforts will not have been in vain, for if they can raise strawberries as sweet as the honey that Fred bottles, we're hoping maybe we'll be treated to a neighborly sample! Congratulations! Congratulations are in order this week for "Nook" Tuckerman of Sixtieth Court who made his debut as an actor with the Country Club Theatre Group in their latest production "Outward Bound"—and a big hand to his Mrs. "Gwen," who walked off with first prize for the most original costume at the annual Hallowe'en Dance at the Club. And incidentally, we understand that Dr. and Mrs. George Schmitt, of Sixtieth Avenue, were seen doing some neat rhumba-ing at the Cadillac Hotel this past Sunday—care to give a few lessons, Doctor? To Carolinas While strolling around the neighborhood and "airing the baby" the other day, we discovered that Dr. and Mrs. George Coleman, also of Sixtieth Avenue, left last week-end for a second vacation in the Carolinas. Need we say we're envious? Breezing back home down Sixtieth Court our eye was caught by a new mail-box, so we stopped to say "hello and welcome" to the folks at 3606, Mr. and Mrs. George E. Patterson, Jr., together with their two children, Caroline, two and a half; and Kathleen, seven-months of age, are the new "Frog Hollowites" and we're mighty glad to have them with us. George, Jr., is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Patterson, Sr., of 520 Alhambra Circle, in the Gables, and a brother of William F. Patterson, who is associated with the well known Gables real estate firm, Lot Headquarters. Mr. Patterson, who comes originally from East Orange, N. J., spent many years living in Cuba—dividing his time between there and the New York Military Academy. His studies for the legal profession, at Dartmouth and Cornell, were interrupted by a term in the Army, where he served as a Captain with service in both the European and African Theatres. Mrs. Patterson, who hails from the famous Lone Star State and who is a graduate of Texas State College for Women, met her husband in Washington, D. C., where she was working for the government. Mr. Patterson has just recently taken the bar examination and is awaiting the results. As we were taking our leave of the Pattersons, we ran across the "last but not least" member of this happy family—a little black puppy, comically named by the Pattersons' small daughter—"Blue!"

Martin Charges State, U. S., Eats Substance of Cities

By JESS HASSELL United Press Staff Correspondent New Orleans, Nov. 6—(UP)—Federal and State governments are "eating away the very substance of local government," Sen. Edward Martin, R., Pa., charged today. Martin warned that the power to tax may eventually destroy lower levels of government and cause absolute centralization. Addressing delegates of the American Municipal Assn., here on the closing day of their 24th annual conference, the Senate Finance Committee member criticized the peacetime budget of the U. S. for being in excess of what "a free people can afford." Decentralize Gov't. Reviewing the processes of American democracy from Thomas Jefferson's day, Martin noted that until 1933, few functions performed by the Federal Government directly affected local governments. But since the depression, national government subsidies have "had a distinct bearing on the development of local government functions which are closest to the people," the Senator said. "Federal grants-in-aid are becoming an increasingly difficult problem for Congress to solve," he declared. Martin cites overlapping and duplication in national, state and municipal regimes which has "severely challenged" the traditional division of power between the three levels of government, he said. Federalists Aggressive He observed that the Federal Government has displayed more aggressiveness in expanding its powers than local governments while cities struggle along with lower revenues. "Centralization is in the air in the United States, regardless of the constant reminder of the disastrous results of excessive centralization in Germany, Italy and Russia," Martin cautioned. "Centralization in those countries crushed individual freedoms. Destruction of liberty followed. We must not passively accept the apparent course of events." Decide Responsibility The Pennsylvanian, listing what he considered the proper functions of each level of government, suggested that representatives from each division meet frequently to decide appropriate shares of responsibility. He offered as other possible solutions to the governmental threat "cutting to the bone" of peacetime, federal expenditures; participation by "all the people" in the government; streamlining of state and local governments, and improved methods of making federal loans to other levels of government.

Gables To Ask U.S. Funds For Street Repair

Coral Gables will seek Federal assistance to repair streets damaged by recent storms and high water, City Manager William T. McIlwain revealed today.

The city manager will appear in person to outline Gables needs to the federal agency official. All of the municipalities in Dade County will unite with county officials in an attempt to secure aid from the Federal government for storm rehabilitation and flood control. General Fleming came here especially to view damage wrought by the high water an dto hear suggsetoins concerning the part the government should play in repairing present damage and pre-venting future similiar situations.

Watson Recovering

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 6. (UP)—State Attorney General J. Tom Watson today was reported in good condition after undergoing an eye operation here yesterday.

As the dripping survivors of the U. S. S. HORNET scrambled aboard the U. S. S. PENSACOLA, a quartermaster took their names. As one individual brushed past, the quartermaster called to him: "Hey, what's your name??" "Murray" came the answer. "What's your rate?" "Real Admiral, USN," was the disconcerting reply.

The U. S. Navy's XM-1 airplane, which set a new world record of 170 hours in the air without refueling, had 200 gallons of fuel remaining at the end of its flight.

Usually Navy Department officials take their oaths of office in the staid surroundings of a Department office, but when Under Secretary of the Navy John Lawrence Sullivan was sworn in as Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Air, the ceremony was performed aboard the U.S.S. SHANGRI-LA, operating in a battle area of the Pacific.
