Department of Ag3iculture’s monthly estimate of the crop. Mutual said there are only 2- 600,000 more boxes of the Florida ©range crop left to market now than there was a year ago, with a Much smaller crop. It added there is a much smaller California crop and export outlets are opening up well. The USDA made no change in its figure, with oranges estimated at 86 million boxes, grapefruit at 38 million and tangerines at 5,200,- 000, for a record Florida total of 129,200,000 boxes. GAINESVILLE #— Bailey F. Williamson, a pioneer developer of the cottonseed oil industry, paper pulp from Southern pine, tung oil production and utilization and im- pore pastures is being honored ere today by the Florida section of the American Chemical Society. The society designated this Bai- ley F. Williamson day. He will be guest of honor at a dinner and special ceremony during the group’s semi-annual session to- night. Williamson, a Gainesville resi- dent, was a charter member of the Florida section of ACS when it was organized in 1924 and has served a8 its chairman and na- tional councilor. ST. PETERSBURG W-St. Pe- tersburg police reported today they were holding Alvin Charles Davis, 38, Fort , Lauderdale’s notorious “pants burglar” who was out on bond on an appeal from a ‘15-year sentence. Sid Saunders, Pinellas County sheriff, and Detective Lt. Ralph Lee of St. Petersburg, said they believed Davis was implicated in burglaries in which $10,000 in cash was taken, Saunders said Davis was charged with breaking into a motel on Feb. 11 and also was suspected of seven other thefts there and still others in Sarasota and Clearwater.

Barnes, who is mak- iis a tour of the state, said also there is no cause for alarm else- where in the nation though trouble spots and distress areas have ap- peared in places. He predicted 1954 will be a good year. Florida’s immunity, Barnes ex- plained, comes because this state has practically no economic prob- Jems in comparison with those of other states and its fiourishing industrial and agricultural econ- omy “is commanding ever greater attention throughout the nation.” AVON PARK W—A commission to coordinate activities for im- provement of conditions among migratory workers has been pro- posed by the state committee of the Florida Christian ministry to migrants, The committee, meeting here yesterday, said the proposed com- mission would be made up of rep- resentatives of various state de- partments such as welfare, health, education and labor. A subcommittee headed by the Rev. 'H. Stewart Austin of Mel- bourne and Mrs. Ruth S. Timmons of Belle Glade, plans a study of other states which have such com- missions.

Sitamore once was known as the “king of the jewel thieves” and has a long prison record, TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK (#—The stock mar- ket moved narrowly today with trading quiet in early dealings.

Hardy, NAL as- sistant vice president, who signed the NAL reply,.said notice was filed Jan. 7 and the changes be- came effective Jan. 17. Hardy added~that from Jan. 1 to Jan. 17, NAL was unable to fly three of its four schedules be- tween Miami and Key West be- cause of conditions beyond Na- tional’s control. These conditions, he added, in- cluded bad weather, mechanical difficulties, airport problems and industrial relations situations. Bid for Boca Chica Meanwhle, NAL asked Navy permission to use Boca Chica Field at the Naval Air Station. The request was made to the NAS here and forwarded through channels to the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington who must act on it. NAL says Meacham Field is in- adequate for the 44-passenger Planes the line wants to fly into Boca Chica. NAL has also said that the line wants to extend its New York- Miami night coach service to Key West. The line customarily uses a DC-6 for the night coach service. Hardy mentioned the Navy ne- gotiations in his reply to the CAB. Saving Possible The use of the Naval facilities, Hardy said, “will be at fees less than the original $300 per month fee at the Key West Airport and will permit National to use Con- vairs as well as larger equipment on such schedules, so as to pro- vide night service as well as coach service to the area.” Hardy also said in his reply that the Key West airport “‘is not ade- quate to handle any of National’s aireraft other than Lodestars nor does it have the necessary lighting to conduct night operations. “National,” he added, “antici- Pates that the operating authority for the use of U.

Popularized Viole William Primrose is known as the man who has popularized the viola.as a solo concert instrument. His fame and position are ack- nowledged. The magazine Newsweek says: “Critics, on the subject of violists, age in solid agreement: Williem Primrose is the greatest.” Time Magazine hails him as “‘the world’s finest viola player.” The New |York World-Telegram spoke of | bim as ‘the world’s foremost vio- list.” “The extraordinary Mr. Prim- tose” + as critic Olin Downes of the New York Times calls him— was born in Glasgow, Scotland. The violin, not the viola, was his first instrument and he was only ,|ten when he made a first public .m.| appearance in thé Mendelssohn . | Violin Concerto.

The youth, who was 14 at the time of the slaying, pleaded guilty in Circuit Court yesterday. Coroner L. Byron Young said witnesses told him Lowe was hold- ing a loaded shotgun and the girl told him he was “afraid” to fire the weapon at her. He pulled the trigger, then ran. GUBERNATORIAL (Continued from Page One) raises whic htake the form of grace from a sovereign.” He add- ed if Johns “wants to play the role of political Santa Claus” he shouldn’t stop with road depart- ment workers. “I also want to call to his at- tention that there are underpaid attendants at our state hospitals and underpaid clerical employes of the state everywhere,” he said. Collins also counter-attacked on Johns’ charge that he, as a close advisor to the late Gov. Dan Mc- Carty, had been more concerned with creating $12,000 a year jobs for McCarty appointees than with raising workers’ pay. Collins cited a bill Johns intro- duced in the 1953 Legislature to raise the pay of road department chairman from $8,000 to $12,000 and the pay of road board mem- bers from $2,400 to $3,600. Johns flew to Miami for a meet- ing on interstate turnpike prob- lems after telling Jacksonville vot- ers in a television appearance he would complete the big Jackson- ville Expressway project if he is elected for the two-year unexpired term of the late Gov. Dan Mc- Carty. Road department engineers have estimated it will take 39 million dollars to finish the job. Johns said the road department budget for this year contains six million dollars for the work. Johns will fly tonight from Mi- ami to Plant City where he will be initiated as a member of the Moose lodge. Odbam told campaign workers’ in Miami yesterday that Johns is his only “real opposition” in the campaign. He said Johns was strong because he is in ofice and his promises ‘will sound geal.” The Sanford candidate flew from Miami to Titusville today for a woman’s club speech and was due to fly back during the afternoon for more campaigning in vote. heavy Dade County and the turn- pike meeting, On the Republican ecene, Chair- man G.
