Patrol Will Add ‘Two Bloodhounds | TALLAHASSEE. (The Florida | Highway Patrol is planning to bring its law enforcement up to date with walkie-talkie radios— but it’s not overlogking the old- | fashioned bloodhound. d At the same Cabinet meeting ‘Tuesday at which Patrol Director | HW. N. Kirkman was given per- | mission to buy $5,000 worth of | walkie-talkie equipment, he put in an enthusiastic word for blood hounds. Both the dogs and the ra- dios would be used by the patrol when it has to get off the highway | {and into the wilderness in pursuit | of lawbreakers or escaped crim- inals. | The Cabinet told Kirkman to go ahead and look into the possibility of buying a couple of bloodhounds to try out on an experimental | basis. While on the subject of the pa- trol; Gov. Warren commented that ithe 12-hour shifts worked by the patrolmen are ‘almost inhumane.” Director Kirkman agreed but said nothing much can be done to shorten the hours unless the patrol geis a bigger appropriation at ihe | next session of the Legislature. The | governor said he hopes it will. | Overworked or not, the patrol | had a good 1951 report to submit to the Cabinet. It made 32,118 ar. rests during the year in compari- | ‘son with 23,296 the year before. Written warnings totaled 26,512 in | comparison: with 12,702 in 1950. At the same meeting, the Cabi- ‘net approved spending $30,000 on a seawall to protect the Ringling Art Museum at Sarasota. It okayed a proposed $120,000 | bond issue to help finance a hospi- | |tal and health center for Madison | County. The bonds still must be | validated by the courts. | Sitting as the State Board of Edu- | eation, the Cabinet agreed to give | extra financial help to six counties ; whose school enrollments have shot ‘up. more than 10 per cent since last year. The counties are Bre- vard, Broward, Collier, Flagler, | | Monroe and Okaloosa. Tribute was paid two former state officials who had buildings named after them. One of the hon. ored men, former Supreme Court dustice J. B. Whitfield, is dead. !The other, retired State Treasurer |W. V. Knott, was present to hear the Cabinet name ‘the buildings. | He is 88. ;, The old Supreme Court building jin Tallahassee—used by the Su- preme Court for many years be- |fore it moved into a new struc- ture—was named for Whitfield. A building erected for the state by the City of Tallahassee 10 years go was named the Knott Build- ing. Plaques bearing the names! j will be placed on the buildings.
