Johns and State Sen. LeRoy Collins campaigned in West Fiorida today while Brailey Od- ham appealed for votes in Orange County for Tuesday’s Democratic gubernatorial primary. Johns wound up a stay in Miami last night and faced a busy sched- of politicking in Bristol, Blountstown, p Springs, Crestview, Jay, Milton and Pensacola, He is to appear on a television program at Pensa- cola tonight with the same pro- gram piped to Panama City. Collins left Tallahassee for Pan- ama City where he scheduled a 2p. m. (CST) address. Later he plans to speak in Milton and ap- pear on television in Pensacola and Panama City with the pro- gram also to be picked up by radio stations in the area. Odham flew from Miami to Or- lando and will visit in that area during the day. He will attend a barbecue there late today and make a statewide radio broadcast from the city auditorium at the fair grounds in Orlando tonight. Johns, who claims West Florida is his greatest stronghold, charged at Homestead that state welfare workers in some areas are trying to defeat him and in some places are holding up welfare checks, He promised an investigation. * Odham told Dade County voters that consolidation of state agencies would save two to three million dollars a year. He also said he wants to keep present racing laws giving choice racing dates to the track having the largest betting handle. Collins told a Jacksonville tele- vision audience his are distorting the truth in last-minute efforts to gain support. He said Miss Kitty Phelan, 205 SE 20th St. Fort Lauderdale, died yester- day after a short illness. She is survived by a brother, Captain John J. Phelan, Fort Lauderdale; nephew, Dr. William J.

The Pritchard Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements, Unpopular Reds NEW YORK ® — It’s Loyalty Day today in New York’s five boroughs, with left-wing May Day celebrants confined to an early evening demonstration. Here’s the major lineup an- nounced by patriotic organiza- tions: A five-hour parade down Fifth Ayenue with some 250,000 march- ers; another 60,000 marchers in the situation. For Fly Control It was learned today that State funds are now available for the Purpose of garbage disposal in Mon- roe County. William W. Warner, Director of Monroe County Anti- Mosquito District, when questioned today, stated that the Florida State Board of Health under the provision of the Permanent Mosquito Bill en- acted in the last session of the Legislature could match local funds in the amount of 75 per cent for use in fly control. These funds must be used exclusively for per- manent eliminative measures in the form of sanitary land fills and closely allied projects. All such projects require local funds from City or County levels deposited with the account of the Monroe County Anti-Mosquito Dis- trict prior to the States release of money and the project itself must be administered solely by the Dis- trict. When questioned further, Warner stated that preliminary negotiations were being made with both City and County officials and that the District was anxious to see these bodies make use and benifit by this state legislation. In the Summer months especial- ly, Warner continued, the fly pro- blem becomes. significant and such Projects would certainly remedy To Participate In Sea Exercise Three Fleet Sonar School lieu- tenants, Bernard L. Lariscy, Rob- ert T. McKinley, and John G. Brad. ley left today for Norfolk, Va, where they will embark respective. ly in the USS Antietam (CV§-36) USS Kraus (AG-151), and USS Ley- te (CVS-32) to observe AsDevex 1-54, AsDevex 1-54 is the six-week anti-submarine warfare exertise now being conducted by the Atlan- tic Fleet in the area between Ber- muda and the Bahamas. Upon returning to Key West they will report on new developments in anti-submarine warfare to Cap- tain W. H. Truesdell, USN, Com- manding Officer, Fleet Sonar School. This follows the school’s established policy of keeping a- breast of late developments in the Fleet in order to ensure that all ASW courses are dynamically pro- gressive. Arrive Today TOBRUK, Libya (# — Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and her hus- band, the Duke of Edinburgh, ar- rived here by air today for a re- union with their children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, whom they haven’t seen for more than five months, s “The royal couple flew in from the British African protectorate of Uganda on the final stage of a British commonwealth tour that has taken them around the world. The 5-year-old heir to the British crown and his 3-year-old, blue-eyed sister came to this newly created independent North African king Britannia.

It makes too much sense. That’s. why the politicians don’t like it.” ‘ Odham said he favored develop- ment of a state aviation program apd wants adequate hunting and fishing facilities either through use of state lands or leased areas, When one man in the audience asked if North Florida didn’t get an extra 30 days’ hunting each year, Odham ied “They’ve been getting a little ve more of everything than you have.” Odham. said he wants to keep present racing laws which give racing date choices to the race track having the largest betting handle in the. preceding season. He explained “I do not advocate any change in race date regula- tions.” His discussion of racing dates came about when a questioner asked if James Donn, president of Gulfstream, had been promised the choice middle-season dates if Johns is elected governor. “That’s exactly what Mr. Char- ley intends to do,” Odham said, , adding that “Jimmy Donn and alt the race track boys are for Charley Johns.” Collins told his listeners Johns “has been going around faking wounded feelings saying I called all his friends and supporters ‘scum’. That is a deliberate falsi- fication.” The Tallahassee senator re- called that on a TV program two weeks ago he made the statement “Racketeers or the nearest thing to a racketeer that could be found were supporting the acting gover- | nor. “TI followed this statement im- mediately by saying I didn’t mean all the acting governor’s support- ers belong in this category, that some of our finest citizens in Flor- ida are for him.” Then Collins played from a tape recording that portion of his earlier talk and said: “That’s what LeRoy Collins actu- ally said. I stand on my original statement and if any of you doubt the truth of it look around in your county and you will see that the facts bear me out. The racketeers are for him.” He said another example of the Johns technique was an effort to scare people into believing some- one is advocating elimination of homestead exemption. He said Johns knew he favored retention of the exemption “‘just as it is now and I have advocated it from the beginning.” Collins exhibited the latest issue of “The Odham Record” which he described as ‘‘a campaign prop- aganda sheet put out by the other ale ne sheet is full of distortion ard misrepresentation,” Collins said. “1 surprised that a man would stoop so low.” He said the sheet showed “‘the utter recklessness to which a des- rally in “Union Square, USA.” PS DEPRES det er red tape and useless regulations of the State Welfare program one of the major targets’ of his campaign. Johns said his entire public ca- Teer has been devoted to fighting crime and corruption. He said he had fought through three legisla- tive sessions to énact the 1949 anti- bookie law. He said he had sought unsuc- cessfully in 1953 to create a joint legislative committee “with teeth” he investigate crime and corrup- ion, He reviewed his platform plank by plank, emphasizing the 100 mil- lion dollar.road program which he me he “could and would carry out.” H He cited his appointment of Dade County men as hotel commissioner and turnpike’ authority chairman and the appointment of a South}, Florida man to the road board as eee of his interest in South Flor- a. _, I’ve done more for South Flor- ida in seven months than any other governor has done in four years,” he said. —_—_—_—— Roller Skate PRIVATE PARTY School — Church — Club Parents Admitted Free SATURDAY—KIDS SESSION 420 SOUTHARD NIGHTLY SERVICE Francis at Truman Your PURE OIL Dealer Tires . .

And if there is a trial, the famed! “infidelities letter,” signed by. the eldest son of the late President and dated Feb. 27, 1945, will be part of the record. The letter lists nine instances of misconduct with women, which Roosevelt has. @e- nied. . Superior Judre Kurtz Kauffman yesterday allowed Roosevelt to amend his separate maintenance suit to a divorce action, but denied his motion to strike the letter from the record. Mrs. Roosevelt’s suit for-geparate maintenace was not an issue in the hearing. Neither Roosevelt, who is run- ning for Congress ‘n nearby Los Angeles, nor his estranged wife, Romelle, was in court. The ruling on the divorce mo- tion in effect placed the divorce he signed and dated the same day constitute a contract. The other letter offered Mrs. Roosevelt half his property, and half his net in- come for life. “We consider the judge’s rulings a victory for our client,” said Mrs. | Roosevelt’s attorney, Robert Schif- | ferman. , However, Roosevelt’s counsel, Samuel B. Picone, told newsmen, “the ruling does not pass on the validity of the letter.
