Thereby hangs the tale of Fallo and Arisiopnanes, a 1c yarn In this former pirates haunt that has become Ameri ca's southernmost tourist resort. When the late "noble expert, ment" known as prohibition was a law in the books but a laugh in the land, the Florida keys became flourishing termi nals for rum runners from Cuba and the Bahamas. . Fallo and Aristophanes took 'ho part in such new enterprises. They kept on serving drinks as usual in their small bar across .the alleyway from their big frame house. There without ceremony or protocol natives and visitors could sit In the cool shadow and avoid the simmering heat outside by nursing tall 'concoc tions of ice and rum and won derful colors. Every large old Key West .frame house has a railing with bannisters carved In individual Cn twmiri were Fallo and Aristophanes of their little bar that in tne wooaen railing on their home they had carved .

Rift With Russia Appears Likely On Korean Question WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 W) Korea jumped several notches higher today on the list of Soviet-American difficulties con fronting Secretary of State Marshall in his preparation for the Moscow foreign ministers conference next month. Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge, com mander of American forces in Korea, said last night he has given up trying to negotiate with Russia for unification of the country under a provisional gov ernment. "I have done all I can over there and have come' back for discussions at higher levels," Hod Be told a news conference after a visit with President Tru man. "What further is done is up to someone higher up." The general declined to say whether he has suggested that Marshall tackle the problem at the Bis Four conference In Mos cow March 10, but he said the Koreans favor this course. Under the Moscow agreement of 1945, a joint Korean commis sion is supposed to set up a pro visional government over both U. S. and Russian zones. The commission broke up in a dead lock last year over Russian in sistence that no Koreans who opposed the Soviet plan for a five year trusteeship over their nation should take part in the government.

H A I e COMPANY rtltlANl BUSINESS Hodge also told reporters there appeared to be "something to" reports that the Russians are conscripting a Korean army. The Soviet radio, he said, has carried announcements that Koreans from 17 to 25 years of age are being called up. He calculated that on the basis of present population, this could mean a force of 500,000. Dr. Symgman Rhee, leader of the South Korean democratic league, cited the same figure in a sep arate Interview and asserted the troops were intended for the red army. Meanwhile, the latest flareup growing out of the Washington Moscow exchange over remarks by Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson ended in an acknow ledgement yesterday that Rus sia's second note got lost in state department "channels" for three days.
