Joel T. Daves III of West Palm Beach announced yesterday as a Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate.

"I take this position because I believe in it," he told a press conference here. "I've found no other candidate who feels this way." Speaking with quiet determination, the slender, boyish-faced, 41-year-old lawyer vowed to take his peace candidacy to a Florida "establishment" to which he said he himself belongs. "I want to convince them of what I am. I'm not some kind of a kook," Daves said, "that I belong to the same civic clubs that a lot of these people belong to in the hometowns I'll be visiting. "And," added the closely-cropped Marine reservist, "I cut my hair." Daves, a member of the 1964-66 Palm Beach County legislative delegation, enters a crowded field of candidates for retiring U.S.

A. (Skip) Bafalis yesterday called on Gov, Claude Kirk to announce his stand in the controversy surrounding Palm Beach County School Supt. Lloyd Early. The Republican gubernatorial candidate said Kirk has three investigative reports in his possession concerning F.arly and should release them to the public. "These reports should shed some light on the superintendent's fitness to continue in office," he said.

In a telegram to the governor, Bafalis said, "Events of the past few months have created a crisis of confidence with regard to education in Palm Beach County. As a consequence, the instability evident in our school system is matched only by the confusion and concern of countless parents and taxpayers." Bafalis said it appeared "a large number" of citizens have lost confidence in the school system, and "local news media have intensified this situation by devoting considerable editorial attention to what is alleged to be a leadership vacuum in the office of the county superintendent." Bafalis said the governor could clear up the situation. He said Kirk had "an investigative report prepared at the behest of the Palm Beach County School Board, a report prepared by the State Professional Practices Council, and also reportedly the results of an inves tigation made by your own education advisor." "Since you have had this information for a number of weeks," Bafalis said, "and have thus far chosen not to exercise the power given you the Florida Constitution -which allows you to suspend from office those guilty of, among other things, malfeasance, misfeasance or incompetence it would appear that you feel fears concerning the superintendent's competence are groundless." He said it was now up to the governor to share "with the parents of Palm Beach County the facts upon which you based your decision. I therefore request that you forthwith make public the reports presently in your exclusive possession." BafalLs said the people of the county "are aroused" about the education situation, and it was up to the governor through his "executive leadership" to "act swiftly to give them the facts and assurances necessary to restore confidence in the school system." Bafalis said he personally was "confused" about the Early situation. "Quite frankly, I have not had a chance to review the reports available," he said.

He said he was getting conflicting reports about Early from School Board members and from persons in education. Turn to BAFALIS, A4, Col. 2 7 Sen. Bafalis Cites A "Crisis Of Confidence" In The Schools Legislature Reconvenes on Appropriation Inside Today earlier claims it could sustain the vetoes in one House or the other. "My present feeling is that it's going to be damn close," said House minority leader Don Reed of Boca.

Raton. "It doesn't look like we have the votes to sustain it in the House." Kirk, as expected, vetoed both the appropriations bill and a supplementary school equalization program yesterday and ordered a four-day special session ending at 5 p.m. Saturday. From both sides of the party fence, there Editorial, A8 TallahatiM lurtau TALLAHASSEE Florida's embattled legislature reconvenes at 1 p.m. today for a budgetary showdown with Republican Gov.

Claude Kirk. Democrat leaders are fiercely determined to override Kirk's veto of their $1,278 billion appropriations package but they're not sure they have the two-thirds vote needed to doit. The GOP minority is likewise hedging on were signs of some vote shifting. The outlook was further clouded by the possibility some lawmakers won't show up for today's session. In a serious blow to Democrat hopes, Sen.

William Gunter (D-Orlando) said he'll support Kirk's vetoes on grounds the budget is unbalanced. He voted with the Democrat majority in last week's 28-17 Senate approval of the spending bill. Gunter's switch may be offset, however, by the absence of a Republican senator.
