The Improvement Commission, as originally set up in 1941, “was never intended to be a means, of | circumventing the constitutional | provision forbidding bonded in-| debtedness,”” he said. “Yet I feel that in some in- stances the Florida Improvement Commission has been used to cir- cumvent this constitutional pro- hibition.” Gov. MeCarty told the legislators the state’s legalized dog tracks “are not now paying a fair share of the cost of government.” Two of them last year had net profits of $800,000 each; three had net profits exceeding $500,000 each er four exceeded $200,000, - he said. He recommended a bill giving the state all the odd cent breaks after calculation of betting odds to the nearest dime, and taking a dually increasing cut from the tracks’ share of earnings as the total amount of wagers at a track increased. “I call to your attention the fact that these tracks operate under state,” he said. “They receive its sanction and protection. They should be willing to carry a fairer share of the cost of government. “Based on the facts, I believe that an increase of the tax on the dog tracks is fair; I believe that it is right; and based upon my recent campaign for governor I certainly think it is the overwhelm- ing will of the people. “Should the dog tracks continue to successfully resist an equitable adjustment of the tax which is so clearly the desire of the people, I would then recommend the aboli- tion of the dog racing éntirely.” “If they can continuously thwart the will of the people then their power is too great for the good of this state.” “ TRUCE TALKS (Continued from Page “Oney Chou En-lai for the ,oyer-al) .ex- change of prisoners wae hits 109 of the Geneva Convention.

About 51,000 of the approximately 132,000 prisoners in Allied hands have in- dicated they do not want to go home. At Tuesday's liaison meeting at Panmunjom, Adm.

TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK — The stock market staged a stout show of resistance to selling today and managed to turn upward. Prices spread out over a range of a point lower to better than a point higher. On the higher side were rail- roads, motors, coppers, and oils, as well as many individual stocks in chemicals, rubbers, and mer- chandising shares. Higher stocks included Northern Pacific, Santa Fe, Southern Rail- way, Sinclair Oil, Warner Bros., Commonwealth Edison, Kennecott. Copper, American Cyanamid, U. S. Steel, Chrysler, Goodrich, Mont- gomery Ward, Westinghouse Elec- tric, and Douglas Aircraft. Lower “were Gootlyear, Sears Roebuck, American Telephone, Union Ca®bide, and “International Paper, ALL-EXPENSE KW (Continued from Page One) Ralph Rogers and Navy Chap- lain Tyndall.

The editorial asks, “Do private citizens have the right to organize within the law for a recognizable purpose with the assurance that this purpose will not later be per- verted by the government?” Mrs. White points out that up to now most of the arguments have been directed against vivi- section, But there is also the fact that if the “pound” bill is passed it forces humane groups to join in an activity which is the direct | opposite of their stated purpose .. . | to take care of animals who need | aid.
