Today’s Action In Tallahassee |"; TALLAHASSEE ®#—The Florida Senate today asked Congress to make a treaty with Mexico so shrimp boats—many of them from Florida—will not be seized on the high seas. : Senators unanimously approved the memorial to, Congress present- ed by Sen. Ripley, Jacksonville. Ripley and Sen. Franklin, Ft, Myers, told the Senate the Mexi- ean government had seized shrimp boats from Florida, had caused shrimp catches to spoil, had im- posed heavy fines on Florida shrimpers and Florida craft were fishing under the guns of Mexican gunboats. Ben, Sturgis, Ocala, asked that if the incidents were true, should not this nation be at war with Mexico, Ripley said it was a matter for Congress to work out. TALLAHASSEE (#—Gov. Dan McCarty “reluctantly” has agreed to accept a $3,000 salary increase to $15,000 a year, but will turn the raise over to charity. The governor previously said he would not accept more money for himself, House and Senate conferees on the general appropriations act vot- ed tentatively today to write the $15,000 figures for the goveraor’s salary into the compromise bill after Budget Director Harry Smith informed them McCarty would not veto a $3,000 raise. “He did not want to accept any- thing over $12,000. He opposed the $25,000 figure suggested by the House Appropriations Committee, and it tooa four or five visits to get him to agree to $15,000,” Smith said, “He is more than willing to ac- cept the $15,000 figure, but will keep only $12,000. He will donate the other $3,000 to some charity, perhaps a scholarship. He will veto anything over’ $15,000,” the budget director added. ‘The Senate would go along with $20,000 for the governor, Sen.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, May 13, 1953 ton, chairman of the Senate Ap- Propriations Committee, said. Since the House wants to give Cabinet officers a raise from $10,- 000 to $12,500 it is necessary to give the governor a salary boost and “if he will take $15,000, as I understand he will, we'd better put it down,” Chairman Moody of the House Committee said, “We haven’t decided on the cab- inet officers yet,” Dayton replied, Pointing out the Senate had sug- gested $15,000 for the other elec- tive administrative officials. “Well, if we give the Cabinet more than $12,500 we can read- sete the governor’s salary,” Moody said, “TI personally think:the governor ought to get more money than the presidents of the universities and the University of Florida football coach,” Dayton commented. The presidents of the two white universities draw $15,000 a year and the Florida football coach $17,500, TALLAHASSEE (®—There’s no place left in Florida where a poor man can go to college, a House committee was told today. Rep. Keezel of Orange, who as Pee Wee Keezel was head cheer- leader at the University of Florida in the late Twenties later operated a restaurant at the campus gates, said its costing too much to send children to his alma mater. “I don’t know where the poor people can go to college in Flor- ida,” he said in explaining he finds it less expensive to send his daughter to a college in Ohio than _ does to the University of Flori- la. “Like you, I’ve voted for every appropriation that comes along for the universities and you have created a thing down there where a poor man can’t go to college.” Keezel brought up the question while asking the Committee on Higher Education to approve his bill to recommend to the Board of Control it prevent freshmen and sophomores at state operated high- er institutions from having autos. TALLAHASSEE W—Rep. Land of Orange County offered a bill today which would have the effect of concentrating voting power on the Republican State Executive Committee in the hands of mem- bers from the larger counties, It would deprive of voting pow- ers committee members from counties in which -less than 2 pre cent of the registered voters are Republicans. Such small county members would be allowed to take the floor and speak at committee meetings but could not vote. Land, Democrat, said he offered the measure in justice to counties with large Republican registra- tions. He said it is not fair to give \ than a dozen registered Republi- cans equal voting powers with itatives of such counties as the GOP strongholds of Pinel- las and Sarasota. Every county now has two mem- bers of the Republican executive committee regardless of the num- ber of party members it has reg- istered. More than half the coun- In effect, it is the small county group which controls the commit- tee. Most of its leaders are from counties with comparatively light Republican registration. TALLAHASSEE W— The bill to let Miamians vote on whether to abolish their city charter as a fore-runner to proposed consolida- tion of Miami and Dade Counyt governments was passed by the Senate today and sent to Gov. Mc- Carty. The proposed bill to consolidate the city and county governments has not been introduced in the Legislature. TALLAHASSEE i®—The Florida Senate waged a fervent debate to- day over whether to authorize a toll turnpike for the whole length of the state or just a 110-mile strip northward from Miami. " Before it was the bill drawn by the State Road Department to set up an authority to finance and build the short strip from Miami to Stuart. But debate had no more than begun before Sen. Lewis, Mari- anna, provoked one of the hottest floor battles of the legislative ses- ‘sion by offering an amendment to ; let the proposed turnpike authority extend the road to the vicinity of Jacksonville if it saw fit. There was an element of the family fight in it. Sen, R. B. Gautier, Miami, where the long turnpike sentiment is strongest, immediately arose to champion the Lewis amendments. One of his hottest major oppo- nents was his cousin, Sen. E. Wil- liam Gautier, New Smyrna Beach, which is in the stronghold of op- position to any east coast turn- re. Z Gautier of Miami said he be- lieved “‘building of turnpikes will do more for Florida economy than any other single thing,” that truck- ers and tourists would pay most of the cost in tos und that there Our USED CAR.LOT Is Open until 10 P.M. Each Night ‘We Invite You to Come In and Look Over Our New Selections NAVARRO, Inc. USED CAR LOT 424 Southard St. Dias 2-2242 ‘ isn’t enough tax money to build the kind of roads the state needs, Gautier of New Smyrna Beach, which fears loss of tourist busines: through by - passing of coastal towns, said the proposal was ‘one of the most far reaching and yi. cious” pieces of legislation before the Senate. The proposed Miami to Stuart turnpike would be financed with a 50 million dollar 30-vear bond is- sue to be retired out of toll rey- enue. Estimates for the cost of the long turnpike are as high as 250 millions. Before the Lewis amendment was offered, the Senate by voice vote adopted one by Sen. Pope, St. Augustine, to prohibit state construction without specific legis- lative approval of any toll road project other than the one author- ized in the bill. 68 CASUALTIES NAMED WASHINGTON wW—The Defense Department today identified 68 Ko. rean War casualties in a new list (No, 811) which reported 20 killed, 39 wounded, 1 missing, 2 captured and 6 injured. es Tonight’s Entries (NO.
