North Shivers In Wake Of 'Worst' Windstorm

High winds buffeted the Atlantic and Pacific coasts early today in the wake of storms which caused millions of dollars worth of property damage. The interior of the country was generally fair and rather cold, with the most frigid area centered in northern Minnesota and North Dakota. Grand Forks, N. D., with a reading of six degrees below zero was the coldest spot in the nation. Yesterday's storm in New England was described as the "worst northeaster since the 1944 hurricane." The highest official wind velocity was 78 miles per hour registered off Black Island, R. I., but unofficial reports from Cape Cod in Massachusetts said the wind reached 90 miles per hour. The New England storm lasted 12 hours, starting with rain that flooded cellars and tied up communications and transportation from New Jersey to New Hampshire. The rain on the highways later turned to ice as temperatures dropped.

Wage Control Seen Creeping Into Field Of Retail Business

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. (UP)—A spokesman for retail furniture stores today accused the Federal government of trying to worm wage-hour controls into the field of retail business. Leo Heer, Chicago, vice president of the National Retail Furniture Association, gave the testimony before a House labor subcommittee considering proposal to amend the wage-hour law. He said administrators of the law have relied on technicalities to usurp jurisdiction belonging to the states and apply the wage-hour law to parts of retail business.

Frenchman Wins Nobel Prize

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 13. (UP)—The 1947 Nobel prize for literature was awarded today to Andre Gide of France. The Swedish Academy announced the award to Gide, the eighth Frenchman to receive the Nobel prize for literature, which first was given in 1901. The award went to Gide, the Academy said, "for his far-reaching and artistically important authorship in which the problems and conditions have been put forward with undaunted love of truth and psychological keenness."

Durocher Gets Clean Bill As Draft Limit Nears

By STAN OPOTOWSKY United Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Nov. 13. (UP)—East side, west side, all around the Powell baseball's big minor league was going full blast today with the draft midnight deadline approaching and Leo Durocher getting a no-doubt-about-it clean bill of health from the commissioner's office. The St. Louis Browns and the Boston Red Sox were the latest teams to take advantage of the draft. The Browns obtained short-stop Garvin Hamner from Toronto of the International League and the Red Sox grabbed pitcher Samnis from New Orleans of the Southern Association in the latest claims announced. Big major league teams have until midnight tonight to file any late drafts. In Cincinnati, Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler, Walter Mulbry, shed new light on the Durocher case. Chandler said that there was absolutely no objection to Durocher's returning as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers now that his one-year suspension has ended. Deacon Branch Rickey, general manager of the Dodgers, has indicated that there is "pressure" against Durocher, but this certainly showed that the pressure didn't come from Cincinnati. Durocher, on the west coast, refused to comment on reports that he already has signed as Dodger boss.

Urges Starting Children To School At Two Years

NEW YORK (UP)—Rose Schneiderman, president of the Women's Trade Union League, believes the day will come in this city when children will start to school at the age of two. "It's no longer practical," she said, "to tell all mothers of small children that they should stay home with their babies. Working women have made tremendous progress in our time. Women have better pay than ever before, children have better care and living standards are higher."

In 1946, 1,220 Americans were killed and 66,000 injured in accidents involving automobiles which were turning left at the time of the accident. Know your hand signals—and use them!

NEW YORK (UP)—The average American used the telephone 301 times last year, building up a total of 42,000,000,000 conversations for the whole nation in 1946, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company reported. The United States has three-fifths of the world's telephones—one instrument for every four persons, compared with a world average of one for every 43 persons. New York led the world's cities with the most telephones in service, 2,213,828, or more than in all of France.

RIVO ALTO OPENS TONIGHT; FAST NAMED EMCEE

AL FAST. Greater Miami's newest theatre-restaurant, S. Karas' Rivo Alto, on the Trail at Seventh Avenue, will open tonight with an assembly of 20 entertainers, starring Al Fast, "Mr. Dynamite of Ceremony" and his partner Margie Stewart, the "Atomic Blonde-Shell of Comedy," and featuring Rickey Carmen's dance and show orchestra. Tonight's cast includes Ruth Webb, sultry songstress; Flamenco dancers Lopez y Yolanda, Chelly Lane, the Miriam Sage Dancers, Barry Mack and accompanist and George Fairman, "wizard of the ivories." New to Miami are the Miriam Sage line and Singer Chelly Lane. Sustained entertainment is to be the policy of the new dinner show spot with the Barry Mack duo and with Chelly Lane accompanied by George Fairman alternating for interim periods. The former restaurant, which has been completely revamped into a showplace by Miami decorators Sam Patterson and Keats Petree, is being managed by Sal Metro, formerly of Lou Walters' Piping Rock and of the Colonial Inn with Steve Thomas in charge of the Diamond Cocktail Lounge, named so because of its entire facade of multi-faceted mirrors. Maitre d' "Marti" Stemple was with Kitty Davis for the past five years. James Karas, the owner's brother, will supervise the cuisine. Al Fast has been assigned to "billy-rose" this and all future Rivo Alto shows.

Chicagoans Arrive

Sex Ignorance Is Blamed For Girl Students' Plight

(Continued from Page One) sive program in the schools is fallen for were Mrs. Bowman F. Hinckley, president of the Ponce de Leon PTA; Miss Betty Ward and Ed Beckman, Youth Center directors, and Mrs. H. O. Johnson, chairman of the Youth Center's Women's Drive. As these statements were being made today Bus Driver Malcolm Clemons was moved from a cell at the city jail in Miami to another lock-up at Dade county jail. County Solicitor Taylor, after hearing testimony from both the girls in the case, filed a formal information charging Busman Clemons with the statutory offense against the girl. Busman Goldman had already been formally charged by the county solicitor and was waiting at the county jail for his fellow driver. Safety Director William G. Kimbrough yesterday expressed the belief that a curfew, compelling all teenagers to keep off the streets at night, "might help" to prevent a recurrence of the Goldman-Clemons incident. But the sex educators held varied opinions on this point. MRS. HINCKLEY: In communities where a curfew has been tried, it was never proven by statistics that the problem was solved. There is no reason why children who don't get out of hand should be penalized because of a tiny minority. MRS. WEBB: I'm afraid if the curfew were not county-wide, it would do no good just in our community. PRINCIPAL RATH: I'm not going to get excited about it. I'm not in favor of a curfew; those who wanted to could always find a way to get around it. Plan Lectures. Mrs. Johnson, whose daughters, Helen and Gloria, are both Ponce students, was also against a curfew. "Children who are well reared and understand all about sex can be trusted to go to the movies in the evening, have their sodas afterwards and take care of themselves." County Health Commissioner Dr. T. E. Cato is currently offering a series of three lectures on sex education to all Dade schools. The lectures will be given by three physicians and will be attended by boys and girls separately. Asked if the need for such a program were strong, the health commissioner answered by quoting national figures which showed one-third of all patients admitted to venereal disease treatments were between the ages of 15 and 19. After each lecture, according to Dr. Cato, there will be a question period when pupils will be completely free to ask any questions about subjects which have been troubling them. The physicians who will give these talks are Doctors George Lacy, J. T. Smedley and M. R. Margboses. Invitations Accepted. The county's invitation has already been accepted by Ponce de Leon high school, Principal Rath said today. Dates have not been set, but all of this year's senior class will have a chance to participate. Are tavern keepers who illegally serve minors to blame for juvenile delinquency? "These girls can put on long dresses and high heels and I defy anyone to tell how old they are," said Principal Rath, voicing the problems of cafe owners who may unknowingly serve to those under 21 years of age. "Our police are doing a fine job," commented Mrs. Webb. "They should continue their close watch over these drinking places, however." Mrs. Webb also voiced the opinion that the Youth Center is sometimes used as an excuse by children who want to go out in the evening. "The Youth Center is doing a grand job," she said. "But there might be some sort of a registration to find out whether those children who tell their parents they're going to the Youth Center ever really get there."

Flying Brothers Go To School By Air

MERIDEN, Ia. (UP)—Royce, 18, and Ronnie Mortenson, 17, look back on the days when grandpa used to trudge along the dusty road to school and smile a little. Royce and Ronnie fly to school, with the older brother at the controls of the family's plane. They take off on a quarter-mile runway on the farm of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Mortenson, six miles from here, and land on an even shorter field near the school. Royce, who has been flying "on and off" for about a year, took lessons at an airport here and has received his private pilot's license.

Pharmacists Vote Food Program Okay

Meatless Tuesdays and eggless Thursdays will be observed in Coral Gables by all members of the Southeastern Pharmaceutical Association, said Carl W. Whalen, chairman of the association's committee to back up the Federal program. Cards announcing observance of the program will soon appear in all Gables drugstores holding membership in the association, added Whalen. The group decided to go along with the President's program at a meeting at the McAllister last night.

$150,000 Will Be Sought From Investors To Save Doctors' Hospital Project

(Continued from Page One) 000 from memorial room plaques and $368,735 from a mortgage loan. He expressed confidence that a suitable loan could be arranged. In addition to the $581,000 for actual construction costs other expenses forecast by Dr. Macdonald included $36,470 in architect's fees; $5,000 for legal fees; $85,000 for furnishings and equipment; $30,000 in working capital; $13,265 reserve for contingencies, and $18,000 for land. No Interest Charged. He explained that the land, approximately four acres on the northeast corner of the University of Miami main campus, had already been deeded to Doctor's Hospital, Inc., payable at $200 per month without interest. He further stated that the University had agreed to maintain five beds at the institution. Total cost to set the hospital in operation is $778,735. Pointing to the fact that construction costs are continually rising and that estimates had increased $96,000 in four months despite curtailment of plans, Dr. Macdonald stressed the need for speed in securing the additional funds necessary. "We can let the contract and start construction within two weeks after the preferred stock issue is subscribed," he stated. Dr. Amerise, telling the Chamber directors that the Miami area is short 1,500 hospital beds, called the project "the most important in Coral Gables today." He reminded the directors that Gableites are using Jackson Memorial Hospital by sufferance, as it is operated by the City of Miami.
