Ziegelmeier's car was struck by a FEC passenger train at a train crossing on Third Avenue North in Lake Worth and she received injuries which resulted in her death. It further alleges the FEC was negligent by allowing high grass, shrubs, trees, and buildings which obscured vision near the, crossing approach. Industry Payrolls Keep Rising (Continued from Page One) 1,000 less than last year or an overall drop of 6.0 per cent. The largest reduction was in eating and drinking places where the end of the tourist season was quickly felt. Compared to April 1960, however, employment in eating and drinking places retrenched 20.0 per cent.

"Apparel establishments scored the only annual growth in retail trade with a gain of 4.0 per cent Employment in general merchandise stores was stationary with 2,000 workers. "The end of the tourist season was reflected by the 13.9 per cent fall in hotel payrolls, 500 workers were furloughed. Over-the-year the number of employed hotel workers was up 19.2 per cent." End of the winter tourist season was evident in the overall picture in April when nonagricultural establishments shortened payrolls 2.6 per cent -down 1,500 workers to 57,100. "The majority of the released workers came from trade and service, the two tourist-dominated industries. Manufacturing scored the only employment gain in 1 April." William Miller, N.Y.

Solon, New GOP Chairman WASHINGTON (P) Rep. William E. Miller won unanimous election as Republican National Chairman Friday and promptly declared war on President Kennedy's handling of foreign and domestic affairs. 47-year-old lawyer from western' New York State, was chosen to succeed Sen. Thurston B.

Morton of Kentucky in a session in which Republicans publicly paraded their party unity. The slim, dark-haired new GOP chairman is the second Roman Catholic elected by the committee. The first was Thomas C. Carter of Montana who served in 1892-96. Taking over from Morton, who resigned to campaign for re-election as senator next year, Miller wasted no time in sailing into Kennedy and his administration.

The new chairman told cheering Republicans. "I suspect that if we had a parliamentary system, there would be a resounding vote of no confidence in the Kennedy administration. "There is a difference between a sense of histrionics and a sense of history. There is a vast difference between campaigning for and being a president." Missing Man Found In Texas Missing since last Saturday night when he failed to return home from a drive-in movie, James Blake Sloan, 21, of 526 Fern has been located at Flatonia, Texas, police reported here Friday. Mr.

and Mrs. Kermit Sloan, the young man's parents, came to the Police Dept. early Friday and reported to the detective bureau that they had received a phone call and telegram from their son Thursday night. They said he told them that he was in the Texas town and requested funds to defray transportation expenses back West Palm Beach. When young Sloan left home he driving a 1957 car and had about $50 in cash.

Police here were notified last Sunday by the parents that their son was missing. Earlier this week a 30-year-old local man, for whom police were also searching, was located in Georgia. The man, Talmadge Norman, Kenilworth Road, had been missing since last Friday. Forfeited Bond Is Reinstated Criminal Court Judge Hugh MacMillan reinstated a $2,000 cash bond Friday which had been forfeited two days before by an alleged bookie arrested across the street from the Palm Beach Police Department. Jack Oken, 62, then was arraigned on two counts of gambling law violations and pleaded innocent.

She made the gift to honor the memory of her late husband, Cmdr. Anson A. Bigelow. Born at Providence, R.I., Dec.

6, 1939, Moffitt moved to West Palm Beach with his family in 1944. He attended Northboro School and Palm Beach High School. In high school he was a member of the Key Club. From 1957 to 1959 he attended Palm Beach Junior College where he was a member of the Honor Society. In September, 1959, he entered the University of Miami and in September, 1960, on the basis of competitive examinations, he was admitted to the University of Miami Medical School.

The rights of the Western powers in occupied Berlin are guaranteed by Soviet-Western postwar agreements. Khrushchev has been threatening to sign a separate peace treaty, perhaps soon, with Communist East Germany as a means of ending those rights driving the British, French and Americans out of the isolated city. The two presidents, their communique said, discussed such things as their position with regard to the Soviet Union and the Communist world, the activities of the United States and France in Asia, Africa and Latin America, aid to underdeveloped countries, the NATO alliance and means of strengthening "that fundamental association of free nations." The French and Americans have differences with regard to NATO, the United Nations as a peace organization and other issues. Apparently neither tried to talk the other out of his position but each president's position was explored with remarkable candor, officials said.

County Did Well, Say Legislators Judge Hears Motions In Bowles Case Hearings on motions were held but not completed Friday in an extortion case against a former Lake Worth City commissioner. and in a molesting case against a sixth-grade teacher. Both are scheduled for jury trials June 19. Criminal Court Judge Hugh MacMillan reserved ruling on a motion to quash charges against Lewis L. Bowles of Lake Worth, accused of extortion and soliciting a bribe of $2,000 from Russell and Axon, the city's consulting engineers.

The jurist also will rule later on a motion for a bill of particu-, lars seeking details of the alleged crimes to better prepare a defense. Bowles originally was scheduled for trial June 5, but the case has been moved ahead two weeks. In the other case, Tommy L. Phillips, 27, 5435 Old Spanish Trail, San Castle, also will not learn immediately if the child molesting charge against him will be quashed. The county solicitor's office was allowed until June 6 to file a memorandum of law against the motion, and the defense was allowed two days to reply.

Judge MacMillan also took under advisement a motion for a bill of particulars in the Phillips case. Phillips, former teacher at Lantana School, is charged with fondling a 13-year-old boy April 14. U.S. Playwright George Kaufman Dies In Gotham NEW YORK (UPI)-George S. Kaufman, 71, who helped write some of Broadway's biggest hit shows and was a central figure in the lurid divorce trial of Mary Astor in the 1930s, died at his Park avenue home Friday.

During a playwrighting career that began in 1925, Kaufman, known as the "great collaborator" on Broadway, co-authored such shows as the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Of Thee I Sing" and "The Man Who Come to Dinner." He had been bedridden in recent years and seldom appeared in the Broadway limelight. In the 1936 divorce battle between Miss Astor and her husband. Dr. Franklyn Thorpe, Kaufman was named her lover in an indiscreet diary by Miss Astor which described her romance with the famed playwright. Kaufman's wife, Beatrice, brushed off her husband's affair with Miss Astor by saying, "Is it unusual for a husband to flirt with an actress?" Kaufman was a master of comedy with a topical satirical sting.

His collaborators included Mark Connelly, Morris Ryskind, Edna Ferber and Moss Hart. Group To Attend Officer Conclave Chief William Barnes will attend the sixth District of Florida Peace Officers Association conference in Fort Lauderdale Sunday with about 15 West Palm Beach officers, while Chief Homer O. Large will be present with 10 of the Palm Beach officers. About 400 district officers are expected at the meeting.

No Color Line (Continued from Page One) or any other particulars, but he said that in January President S. W. Ackerman had sent out a bulletin that reiterated a company policy of no segregation.

By DON MEIKLEJOHN Perry News Service TALLAHASSEE Palm Beach County won or did "better than could be expected under the circumstances" in every major lega islative skirmish except one congressional redistricting, according to an assessment of the session by the county's three-man a legislative delegation.

The big issue a new university at Boca Raton. As it came out of the legislative session, the new university got $100,000 in operating money and $5,300,000 in second priority building money. egation disappointed--in fact The three Beach deldownright mad 1 minute cut on the operating money from $300,000 to $100,000, but felt that under the circumstances the project fared pretty well. First, it was the largest single money spending project before the Legislature during a "tight money market." This made it tough to handle in a money conscious Legislature. Sen.

Ralph Blank summed up the Boca Raton issue this way: "Boca had some ups and downs, but in the final analysis, in view of what is always an uphill fight to establish a new institution and the tight money, it was probably remarkable we achieved as much as we did." He added, cut in the operating money is not as bad as it looks at first glance. There is still $25,000 available from this year's appropriation which could be released before July 1, and $100,000 of unspent funds that were borrowed from the Internal Improvement Fund Trustees, which might be used with cabinet approval." Blank also pointed out that the budget carries a $2,000,000 deficiency appropriation which could be tapped with cabinet approval it the need for more operating funds becomes urgent. Overall, Blank said that he feels the cabinet approves the project and demonstrated its backing of Boca by help during the session--particularly Gov. Bryant. Rep.

Emmett Roberts said the problem was to accomplish two purposes on the Boca Raton project. "First we had to get legislative recognition of the need and justification, and second we needed to get the necessary funds to hegin construction," Robert said. "We accomplished the first aim almost without dissent, ani due to the tight money involved we fared as well as existing state universities, which also got no first priority building money," Roberts said. Roberts added, "We were going after the largest single capital layout project in the state and during a tight money period this is especially Whatever happens, Roberts said, Boca Raton seems assured of being the No. 1 priority state project for completion in 1963, and with some luck the school could open in September, 1965 or pos- sibly even 1964." Rep.

Jerry Thomas said, "We feel fortunate that with the critical financial condition of the state that we did as well as we did. "We feel we were treated unfairly by the conference committee which reduced the amount of operating money from $300,000 to $100,000. It is action like this that makes it difficult for those of us whose oppose federal aid to education to show that the state is capable of taking care of its own needs." The biggest single Palm Beach County victory of the session came on the Lake Okeechobee division battle a bill that could have cost the county, $111,700 a year in secondary road money. The Palm Beach delegation through parliamentary manuever back room persuasion and plenty of bird dogging managed to kill the bill, backed by four neighboring counties. All three Palm Beach legislators said that the Okeechobee bill was more time consuming than any other measure.

Sen. Blank said, "This bill became of prime concern and we completely succeeded, but I'm afraid we may have to fight the battle again and we will support and do ground work to put something in the constitution to prevent such action from recurring." Rep. Roberts said, "I'm extremely happy that we defeated the bill. It presented a problem during the whole Legislature since it was left hanging and could have been passed at any time. It forced us to spend considerable time fighting and opposing this measure when the time could have been spent on other measures helpful to the state and to the Rep.

Thomas said, "Our opponents were some of the most popular people in the Legislature, and at times it was almost a personality fight. We were fortunate to kill the bill in committee so it did not come to a fight on the Thomas added, "I don't think there is any question that the original bill, especially, would have impaired all Florida road The sorest point with the delegation was congressional redistricting in which Palm Beach was put in the biggest district in people, along with Broward, Martin, Glades, Hendry, Collier, and Lee. The delegation, immediately after passage, conferred with Gov. Farris Bryant to urge him to veto the measure. Another big victory for the delegation-although it was not all it wanted -was a successful effort to trim back the intangible tax.

The delegation supported a full reduction from two to one mill- or from $2 a $1,000 valuation to $1-but agreed to a compromise proposal offered by Gov. Farris Bryant calling for a two-stage reduction-to $1.50 a $1,000 beginning in January, 1961, and to $1 $1,000 in 1964. Blank said "'We would have been more pleased if the reduction had been to one mill-or $1 a because of the tight money situation and because many counties do not diligently enforce the tax, it was a real achievement to get the bill through. "I do not think that the bill will cost the state any money, especially with the tighter enforcement Robert said, "We would rather have had our full reduction bill passed, but nevertheless, the bill passed is a step in that direction and should prove invaluable in assisting the state's Thomas said, "We accomplished what we set out to do, obtain a reduction--although much smaller-but the bill as passed is a an equitable solution." Thomas, who was the prime mover of a group of bills aimed at tightening up eight per cent laws, and Blank who handled several bills in the Senate, were happy about the success of this effort. This was the major project of Thomas, a House freshman, and all except one bill cleared the Legislature, and that one was passed in the House, but got bogged down in the last minute rush in the Senate.

Thomas predicted that the bills would put an end to shady operations in this field, and Blank said the bills should "cure a festering sore." In view of the tight money situation, the delegation said it felt that the $5,750,000 for the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Projects was a "victory' although it could have been more. Rep. Roberts, who was prrticularly active in this field, said that it was "unfortunate thit the state did not meet the needs in this field since the federal government has shown a willingness to move faster in the field-it is just another example of the Legislature failing to meet the needs of the The same view was expressed on the junior college program.

The original board included Philip Liberman, first president and president of Mercantile Bank of Miami Beach; William Arnold, R. S. Erskine, Albert McNamee, Ralph Roberts and C. K. Simon, all deceased.

Upon the death of Liberman, Garnett assumed the presidency in 1937, a position he has since held. Born in 1901 at Hypoluxo, Garnett comes from pioneer stock. His father, Andrew W. Garnett, a farmer who arrived here from Kentucky in 1885, was for a period the "Barefoot Mailman," making weekly round trips from West Palm Beach to Miami. Young Garnett was educated at the old School, graduated from Palm Beach High School, and studied agriculture for three summers at the University of Florida.

Garnett decided the risks of farming were too great and in 1923 without previous banking experience he was hired as file clerk in the old First National Bank, opposite the present building. He has pursued a banking career in various capacities since that time. The president is an active member of Calvary Methodist Church, a director of First Federal Cavings and Loan Assn. of Lake Worth, of First American Bank of North Palm Beach, and of Riviera Beach Bank. He is also director of Palm Beach General Hospital, has been director and treasurer of the Lake Worth Public Library since it opened, and is a past president of the local Rotary Club.

The First National Bank is the oldest and largest local bank. The faith of the founders in the future of Lake Worth has been justified. In 1936 the bank staff consisted of two persons. Presently the staff of 62 make it the largest single payroll in Lake Worth other than the city itself. A member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and of the Federal Reserve System, the bank offers complete, modern banking services.

Jury Indicts Peel Associate Robert Sills, stock salesman, was among 21 persons indicated Thursday at Miami by a federal grand jury for an alleged oil stock swindle. Sills was once associated with former West Palm Beach Municipal Judge Joseph A.

Peel now serving a life sentence for ordering the murder of Circuit Court Judge C. E. Chillingworth. Sills, along with Alfred D. Laurence, a suspended stock broker, was indicted in the multi-million dollar swindle which involves Laurence's defunct brokerage firm, and the Columbus Rexall Oil Co.

of Salt Lake City, Utah. The indictment alleged the defendants the Salt Lake City stock exchange to artifically fix the price of a stock that had no assets, then sold shares to investors in Miami. County's Juvenile Case Work Praised Juvenile court counselors here Friday from Dade, Broward and Martin Counties after inspecting Palm Beach County facilities for handling juvenile cases were impressed with conditions they found. T. Alton Murray, chief juvenile counselor here, said last night the one-day meeting was to study operational methods in each of the four counties.

In speaking of facilities here, Jack Blanton, chief counselor for Dade County, said Palm Beach County would "not take a back seat to anyone." Blanton has Miami Ad Firm Denied Tobacco The Miami advertising firm of Harris and Company failed Friday to get its hands on the Cuban tobacco impounded here. The scheduled sheriff's sale of eight carloads of the stuff was called off when ownership was established--and none appeared to be owned by the Cuban government, Harris and Company had attached the tobacco to satisfy its claims against the Cuban government for publicity and advertising services rendered, and for which the Castro government has failed to pay. Seven carloads, it now develops, are the property of Cuban Tobacco Company, a subsidjary of the American Tobacco Company. The eighth carload belongs to a New York firm, Markland Landau Corp. A terminal official at the Port of Palm Beach said all of it would be shipped out.

Five carloads had already been released this week to various American firms, including three companies at Tampa. Attorney Robert McK. Foster, representing the Cuban Tobacco Company, explained that 000 worth of the tobacco had been grown in Cuba with funds of the company but that the Castro government would not release it to the company's U.S. warehouse. He said, "Early last month the Cuban government agreed to permit partial shipment of the company's tobacco only if an equivalent amount not owned by the company was purchased.

Cuban Release Of Man Sought BOCA RATON, (P) Frank Rosten, British journalist on the English-language Peruvian Times of Lima, Peru, is in Florida seeking aid in obtaining the release of his brother-in-law from a Cuban prison. Rosten said Robert Geddes, vice president of a soft drink bottling firm in Cuba for years, was arrested the day of the illfated April 17 invasion and still is being held without charge. First, Rosten went to London and the matter of Geddes' imprisonment was discussed in Parliament. Rosten said the British Foreign Office would do all it could to obtain Geddes' release. The British ambassador paid a personal call on foreign minister Raul Roa in Havana in a futile effort to obtain action.

Geddes is a British subject. His American wife, Marjorie, and their daughter are staying in Boca Raton. Gasoline Theft Costs 18 Months A youth who stole 10 gallons of gasoline from A county-owned truck and thus violated his probation in another case was sentenced to 18 months in state prison Friday by Criminal Court Judge Hugh MacMillan. David Caudell, 20, 2767 S. Military Trail, received the sentence for breaking and entering the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Hans A. Schnurpheil, 2805 Palmarita Road, to commit grand larceny. He had been on probation since last June 9. A concurrent three-month term was ordered for contributing to the delinquency of a 16-year-old boy by encouraging him to take part in the burglary, and a concurrent six-month sentence was imposed for the gasoline theft, which occurred March 19.

Kenneth Delaney, 22, Negro, 921 14th was placed on probation for one year for possessing obscene material. He was fined $100 and ordered to pay $23.35 court costs, all at the rate of $25 per month. Delaney also was ordered to observe a 9 p.m. curfew. There was no other way for the company to get its tobacco out of Cuba," Foster added.

He concluded, "'The shipment in litigation consists of $137,000 worth of Cuban Tobacco Company stock stored in Cuba and $129,000 worth of other tobacco which the Cuban Tobacco Company was forced to purchase in order to get its own tobacco released." Statewide World Fair Plans Dim A proposition advanced by R. William Carol a statewide world's fair has with a "tight for, money" situation, he reported here last night. Carol, who made the proposition to Gov. Farris and Fred O. Dickinson prior Bryant, to the Council of 100 organization meeting, said he had received telegrams from Bryant and Dickinson.

Bryant said the proposal had been turned over to the Florida Development Commission, but believed that "in this tight money period (it) would require more than we are able to meet Dickinson pointed out that "the Council of 100 itself is now actively engaged in preliminary plans for the New York World's Fair which comes three years hence."
