Lamarre to Sue Meyers For $10,000 Claimed Due

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (UP)—Bleriot H. Lamarre, the self-styled "dummy" president of Aviation Electric Co., said today he intends to sue retired Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers for $10,000 he claims is due him from another joint business venture. Lamarre made the statement to reporters as he went before a Federal grand jury to tell "All I know" about the wartime contract deals of the former high-ranking air force procurement officer. Lamarre recalled that he told the senate war investigating committee that he gave Meyers $20,000 in 1945, of which $10,000 was to be his share of the capital in an investment firm he and Meyers were starting. The company was called the Aid Company. Lamarre said he wrote Meyers last September telling him he wanted to withdraw from the venture and demanding his $10,000. But, he said, he never got it. "The matter is in the hands of my attorney, Robert Knee, Dayton, O.," Lamarre said.

Gas Rationing May Be Necessary If Winter's Severe, Senators Hear

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (UP)—An administration official said today rationing and price control of gasoline and fuel oil may be necessary if the winter is severe. Assistant Secretary of the Interior William E. Warne told the senate appropriations committee, however, that, he hoped "certain other controls" would make rationing and price control unnecessary. Some major oil companies already have begun allocating gasoline to distributors, limiting them to 85 percent of amounts received in October.

FBI Hunts Army Lieutenant In $14,000 Pay Embezzlement

CAMP LEE, Va., Dec. 2. (UP)—The Federal Bureau of Investigation today charged a "specially selected" army First Lieutenant with embezzling more than $14,000 in paychecks of 37 fellow officers. Civil and military authorities sought 1st Lt. Edward P. Kelly, 40, of Donville, N. J., who vanished from Camp Lee yesterday after picking up checks for himself and fellow officers in a class of specially-chosen men at a Quartermaster school.

Chicago Maps Study Of 'Sikck Traffic System'

CHICAGO (UP)—How to make a "sick traffic system" well and save nearly 200 lives a year is under consideration by Chicago officials. Recommendations to bring Chicago traffic standards up to those of some other major cities are contained in a survey by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Included in the program are a "fixproof" system of traffic tickets, installation of more "drunk-ometer" equipment to detect intoxication, and substitution of three-wheeled motorcycles for horses in the mounted division. The survey recommends doubling traffic division personnel and calls purchase of $500,000 worth of equipment "absolutely necessary." Traffic experts who prepared the survey cite the necessity for banning graft in traffic law enforcement and for complete training of traffic judges. Other Cities Doing It Similar successful modernization programs in Detroit, Milwaukee, Washington and other cities are pointed out as an indication of what the program could accomplish. Also recommended is the establishment of a permanent training school at which new traffic policemen can be instructed and refresher courses given. The report urges enactment of a pedestrian control law "with teeth," under which jaywalkers and persons who walk against red lights would be subject to stiff penalties. If the association's recommendations are adopted, drivers who fail to give pedestrians the right of way also will be prosecuted. Mayor Martin Kennelly says he hopes "some such program" can be put into effect by 1949.

Work Dodger Kids His Family Along

BOSTON (UP) — Meeting a friend on a Back Bay street, a Malden man said his slothful brother, long a trial to the family, had obtained a job as an elevator operator in "the new John Hancock Life Insurance Co. building." The friend chuckled and pointed across the street to where workmen were clambering about on the steel skeleton of a skyscraper scheduled for completion many months hence. "That," said the friend "is the new John Hancock building."

CORAL GABLES COUNTRY CLUBBER By GORDON TAYLOR

The Formal party the night before Thanksgiving was even more successful than anticipated, meaning that more formals will start coming soon. The pre-war custom of "dressing" for Saturday nights is now very much in vogue, so get those black-and-whites to the tailors for the necessary alterations, fellows. Dinner, dances at the club for club members and their guests, strictly formal, preceded by smorgasbord, is not an unheard-of thing. In fact, we'd like to hear a lot more about it—if you'd like it. In speaking to Dr. Bob Edwards and his beautiful Fashion Show model wife, June, I asked them to come up with an ideal for January that they and their friends could wow the club with. At the snap of a finer, Bob came up with an idea that is going to meet with club-wide approval. He suggested that we initiate the new members the first Wednesday of January, and the way they are going to do it will be loads of fun for everyone—including the new members. Consul's Night The next event I'd like to see would be a night taken over by the consul generals (they are all members of good old CC or CG), and have them show us a gala evening typical of one country, or a composite of all their countries. Bet it would be mighty seen. Holiday activities take much planning. You should have seen the club last night when it was swamped to be a mad Tuesday! Billie Harting and her fashion show were rehearsing for their night on nights (bevene, dinner, fashions and dancing) December 16th; Charlotte Holcraft had an excellent turnout for her first rehearsal of the singing group; Dick Trice's reading committee was all eyes, ears and business and read; Ernie Edwards' Beta Theta Pi steering committee (practically all of them are members) were meeting in the Red Room to make final arrangements for their Dec. 23 dance on the patio; the Monday night duplicate group turned out wholesale, and last, but not least, the Coral Gables Kiwanis entertained their fellow members from neighboring clubs at a swell friend chicken dinner and dance. Checks on Singing Sylvia Furlong was in to check-up on the singing as that Christmas pageant she is putting on for you members Sunday night, Dec. 21, will really be something. In case you didn't know, the pageant will be held by partner, in the ball room, immediately after your Sunday night dinner. Xmas, with all its beautiful pageantry, will be glorified that night. Better get your reservations early. I'd like's go into an outline of the Holiday program as the elections for the Women's Executive Board will not be announced until this coming Thursday. The chairmen for the junior groups will come from that election. However, we can safely say that the traditional egg nogg party on Xmas day and the New Year's Eve dinner-dance are as much of a certainty as ever. Tennis Plans Of good news to the tennis players will be the dressing up of the courts in the very near future. It's about time we scored some points in that direction and Ike Macy is all ready. The most ardent player of them all, Bill Gray, has had to take a temporary leave of absence to help his son, Billy, recover from a badly fractured leg. Tough luck, Billy, and we all wish you a speedy recovery. The new chairman of the executive committee, Ben Turner, and his brother members, John Halifax and Byron Sparow, are beginning to cook with gas. We have a meeting this coming Wednesday to talk about our golf future, and one the following Tuesday to nail some brass tacks into tennis. Ben makes it's going to make a couple of bucks for the club before Friday with a pet chore he tasked himself with a month ago. Not many days left, Ben. Our genial bookkeeper, Mrs. Frances Burel Anderson, has just returned from Arkansas where she attended the funeral of her mother. Mrs. Kay Duff had the same grief very recently. One-Man Show Major James Duggan, the happy-go-lucky guest of Mrs. Ethel Tiffany, invited me to come over to his one-man art showing on the beach Saturday, and I was fascinated with his oils on velour. I jumped at his offer to show his paintings here in the club, beginning almost immediately. He tells me it only takes two and one-half hours to knock out one of those masterpieces, so when you walk into the dining room foyer, see what you think about 'em. He also roped me into acting as a judge for a fashion show going on at the same time as his exhibit, and I must admit that I crossed up the toher judges more frequently than they liked. A manager can hardly hope to please the majority of his members, but this up-and-coming staff of mine are certainly in there pitching for an "E" award. They are even clambering for a switchboard so you can make more than one call a week to the club. Bridge Winners The winners of the duplicate bridge groups this past week were Mrs. Katherine R酪ods and Mrs. Gerard Dawson, Monday night, Nov. 24. Those who took first place in the North-South combination Friday afternoon, Nov. 28, were Mrs. Wallace Foulks and Mrs. Thomas Tawes, while there was a tie between Mrs. Boyd Taylor, Mrs. Ray Wilson, Mr. Thomas Tawes and Dr. Ray Wilson. The winners of the contract group this week were Mrs. C. G. Young on Tuesday, Nov. 25, and Mr. Charlton Tweed Friday night, Nov. 29. The men's golf tournament is progressing rather quickly and the results of the second round are: H. B. Wheeler defeated Dr. A. Leo Vollmer (2 up), Lyle Roberts defeated W. Shiner (3-2), Bill Gorman defeated Gordon Taylor (2-1), and A. C. Randolph defeated J. Erb (4-3).

Warrant Issued In Fighting Case

Municipal Judge C. S. Robertson yesterday issued a bench warrant for a Negro who had failed to appear on charges of disorderly conduct and fighting. The jurist did not choose to let the man's $25 bond be forfeited and explained "fines won't break up this fighting." The case will be heard next Wednesday with defendant Lonnie Alexander in court to hear charges against him and Charlie Johnson, 24, Negro. Another Negro pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sent to the city jail for 15 days. Filmo Gill, 28, admitted in court he had slashed his wife's leg with a pocket knife. Philip Kelly, 19, a University of Miami student, was fined $15 after pleading guilty to reckless driving charges.

Suspect Faces 3 Victims Of Attacks Here

(Continued from Page One) police line-up held at noon today. In addition, High said, the three victims identified his clothing. The girl attacked on Nov. 19, along with two other victims of similar assaults, had picked this man out of eight others in a police line-up held at noon today. In addition, High said, the three victims identified his clothing. The girl, attacked on Nov. 19, had told police her attacker had driven a 1939 Plymouth coupe with only one headlight working. The man caught last night drove a 1941 Plymouth coupe, which had one light inoperative. Gables Safety Director W. G. Kimbrough meanwhile told news-papermen a similar attack, also unsuccessful, had occurred in Coral Gables last Saturday. This time the intended victim, a married woman, had beaten off an attacker and heard a motor cough and turn over after he had fled into the woods. In all recent attack cases, Gables and county police agreed, the assailant had first attempted to gag his victim with a towel. And, said High, a towel was discovered in the car of the man arrested at 61st Street last night. High told a Miami detective at police headquarters, "This may solve a lot of our cases." Safety Director Kimbrough said he thought the man might be the one who had unsuccessfully attacked a married woman on Saturday, but doubted if this suspect was the one who had picked up a University co-ed and assaulted her in his car near the campus. Lieut. High planned to bring the man arrested last night to his trailer home and a thorough search of the trailer was promised. Then, the accused man would come to the Gables police station, High said. One girl who would try to identify him had been scared by a "guess who" accoster. She is an 18-year-old secretary who felt a pair of hands over her eyes and heard a voice call "Guess who this is?"

Hewitt Charges Are Withdrawn

Charges of reckless driving, causing an accident and failing to report an accident which had been pressed against Charles Hewitt of 124 Avenue Mendoza were withdrawn in Municipal Court yesterday. Hewitt had been involved in an accident about two weeks ago. The complainant in the case, in a last minute move, decided to drop the charges.

More than 14,000 school teachers attended pre-school conferences prior to the opening of school this year.
