Eis-nhower’s margin in Florida was 54.6 per cent compared with 58.8 per cent for Herbert Hoover when the state last went Republi- can in 1928, Hoover defeated Al Smith by 144,168 to 101,764. On the same basis, McCarty re- ceived 73 per cent of the vote for governor, compared with Doyle E. Carlton’s 60 per cent over Repub- lican William J. Howey in 1928, While some Republicans called the Eisenhower victory “the real in the south,” “freedom of the South from economic bondage and a sign that the people of Florida Place country above party,” some those issued after Hoover’s victory newspaper files, G. Harold Alexander, Republican executive committee chairman, | Said the presidential returns ‘‘as- sures a two-party system’ and C. |C. Spades, Republican National committeeman, said it means | Many who registered as Demo.. | crats but who are at heart Repub- | licans ‘will join with us in building a great Republican Party down here and assuring a two-party sys- tem for Florida.” However, Swan charged he had received no help from Spades and Alexander and blamed them for his defeat. He said they had given him “no financial aid or coopera- tion.” After the Hoover victory in 1928, the Skipper-Bean factions of the party promised to unite and “bring about a real two-party system in the state” but it didn’t pan out. Even during the past year, there was sharp party division over methods of selecting convention delegates. Alexander said Wednesday the party is putting aside patronage matters for the present to con- centrate on consolidating its gains and “‘building up a real two-party system in Florida. Among jobs open when the GOP | takes over are U. S. district at- torneys for the Northern and Southern Districts, their assistants and collectors of customs, Alexander said the Republican victory probably will lead to pas- sage of a congressional act pro- viding for another federal judge in Florida. “We'll get that appointment,” he | said.

Today the f teachers and administrators in our ublie schools serve over 26,000. % pupils, There are 85,000 school listricts, 210,000 buildings, and %40 school board members, Public—school property is valued at over 9 billion dollars—an aver- age of $385 per pupil. Total annual expenditures approach 6% billion dollars which is about one-eighth of our present military budget. We are spending about $280 per pupil annually to build our future human resources, Latest estimates indi cate that 1.9 percent of public— school revenues come from county sources; and 49,8 percent from local sources; 5.6 percent from PTA sources. In 1949-50 the annual cost of public schools was 2.3 per- cent of the national income.

Relatives stated that Klug had gone on a novel writing trip. The thick packet of index cards, found in a saddlebag of the motor-cycle at the death scene revealed that the young ex-sailor had prepared not only a general outline of a book but had delineated characters, background and observations in- cluding bits of dialogue. Thorough approach to his ma- terial was evident. On one card, Klug ‘had written in a compact hand: “‘Themal approach, The story of Larry and of Harry Kritzberg and the rest who go through college but cannot really touch it. They are separate entities: side by side with no real communication. “It is a story also of the trend on campuses today: the growth of the material sciences as opposed to the humanities. Kagan is the materialist. He is the one who adapts, who will fit into society. It contains the so-called normal element in college: the fraternities, but.as Larry says, ‘They are strain- ing brother, they're straining.’ Pre- sents some of the stress and strain induced into freshmen by partners, friends, professors and the social myths, such as ‘College is the last step before the real world, Make your mark in college; get to know people; nurture contacts. If you succeed in college you'll succeed in business; join the frats, etc.’ ” Analytical and cynical selections on this slant were bolstered by notes on what he termed “tonal | approach,” revolving around a pro- | fessor called Amman. Klug wrote, | “Antagonistic tones between Am- | man, the factories and the Univer- sity set up in the discordant atmo- sphere of the story of the European professor at Rutgers.” Class consciousness phases were attributed to the central character, Larry who speaks on the middle class, “The middle class is re- garded as the bed of neurotics for society. Pressures, hell. The only reason the lower class isn’t neuro- tic is because they haven't had the chance yet. The middle class is bearing the humanities burden right now. Once you are caught by whistles and wails (of chilren) you don’t have time to be neurotic. -You never had it so good.” Klug went on to note, “‘psycho- logically I suppose in off hand diagnosis, Larry had been over- loved and overruled by his mother. He never broke the tie with his mother until Henrietta came into the picture, His need for protection and love were overwhelming. Too much so to leave him the motiva- tion for answering the ideal. This ideal implied an independent hero and Larry was not the man for that. Under the impact of Henri- etta, he went wild. All he could think of was to impress, startle and gain the girl’s favor by a show of brilliance.” Anaylsis of Larry: ‘Quiet, re- served, studious type; apparently never remembered a real date. Made study of chemistry and earn- ed a scholarship and was regarded as a prodigy if not a budding genius.” Kagan, another character out- | lined for the prospective book, the murdered writer had described as a “throaty radical and asiduous student who deferred to the Anglo- Saxon ideal. He was punctual and thorough and a joiner. . .By his senior year, he no longer took him- | self so seriously. He had the buoy- ‘ancy and resourcefulness that The American Legion, United States Office of Education and The | National Congress of Parents and | Teachers, “Quit fussin!!

A budding aesthete who was seen flambuoy- antly at all the dances, rallies, meetings, concerts, accompanied. by her nymphomaniac room-mate, the self styled hippodrome posing as a woman,” There was no other description of a woman save that of the mother mentioned in any of the notes.
