Lamport Tells About Florida The wealth of Florida, especially that or Miami, Is almost beyond comprehension to the casual visi tor and If Oregon could but get the "crumbs" from the lavish display of tnat section, we would be pretty well off. Fred Lamport, who with his wife spent six weeks In travel through the southern state and Cuba, made this assertion during a talk before the Salem Realty board toaay. Millionaires from the north flock to Miami In the winter and despite the fact that 200 hotels have been constructed along the beach during the past two years, room tariffs are extremely high. It Is estimated. Lamport said, that two million per sons visit Florida each winter. Cool weather was experienced by Lamport on his trip and he said he was not comfortable much of the tune without his overcoat. Old folks who flock to St. Petersburg each winter from the north were parti cularly uncomfortable since little or no provision Is made for artifi cial heat. Crossing the Interior of Florida the Lamport found that many of the Everglades had been reclaimed, leaving a soli similar to that of Lake Labish where vegetables are grown for northern trade.

Political quarters said that only a qulok change In the cabinet would enable the official party to leave for Vienna as scheduled. The tenseness was heightened by disclosure that four of Yugoslavia's most prominent generals were pen sioned eaily In the week as a "mere routine matter." Generals Removed Observers pointed out that army circles have been among the most vigorous opponents of a surrender to Germany. But government circles said the remaining high officers had agreed to the government's decision. Nervousness In the capital was accentuated by paralysis of the city's trolley, telephone and light ing services for a short period at noon. But engineers said the trou ble was technical. German circles said the formal ising of Yugoslavia's entry Into ' closer relations with the reloh would be swift, with Premier Cvet kovlo and Foreign Minister Alksan der Olncar-Markovlo due to leave tonight or tomorrow for Vienna where they would sign the docu ment Sunday. British Doubtful Although the government's ac tion was reported by responsible government sources, British circles still insisted they had reason to believe Yugoslavia had reached no decision on what concessions she would make to the axis. Slovakia, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria,, among Yugoslavia's neighbors In southeast Europe, pre viously had Joined the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis. The degree to which Yugoslavia'! decision will facilitate German ac tion In the Balkans, possibly against Greece to bolster the falter ing Italians, was uncertain In the absence of details of the agree ment that has been reached. But a responsible government leader said it would provide economic and "seml-mllltary" aid to the relch. The crown council approved the program last night and the cabinet leader voted for It, 13 to four, after a bitter wrangle.
