He said the fawns will be kept at the nursery until after the hunting season which begins in October in most counties: and runs until Jan. 1. Then they will be released on game refuge lands, free to roam until the 1973 hunting season. Wiseman's two teen-age daughters, Ruthie, 15, and Tammy, 12, like to hand feed the fawns.

Edwards said he would instruct the special session to deal "strictly and only with those features that are necessary to completely examine the state property tax system." "That would include of course any suggested alternate revenue if the state were to get out of the property tax business.

It would include the question of equalization of assessments and the removal, of the 100 per cent feature of assessment," he said. "And it would also necessarily relate to the system by which we rebate money to local government under the homestead redemption fund." A three-judge federal court has ruled illegal Louisiana's system of repaying local governments for taxes lost because of homestead exemptions, and has ordered a more equitable meth od of repayment enacted by Sept. 1. Edwards said he definitely would ask the legislature to repeal the state property tax and replace it with some other revenue measure, almost certainly some version of his gas severance tax proposal which failed to pass the House during regular session. He said he suffered only two major setbacks during the regular session failure to pass a no-fault insurance bill and failure to take the state out of the property tax field.

"I believe a year from now we will have an effective no-' fault plan," he added.

Edwin Edwards said Sunday the Louisiana Legislature "deserves a pat on the back" for its accomplishments during tfie 60-day session just ended. He was particularly pleased with the legislature's call for a constitutional convention, which he said past administrations and legislatures had been unable to do for decades.

"But in 13 days' time this legislature, under my leadership, was able to pass legislation for a constitutional convention," Edwards said. He also rated improved decorum, consolidation of agencies and institution of a central cash management system as major accomplishments. Edwards evaluated his first two months in office on a panel discussion program aired by KLFY-TV in Lafayette Sunday night. He also shed new light on his plans for the 12-day special ses system of central cash management under the division of administration. Edwards acknowledged having shot film sequences with Sen.

Allen Ellender at the governor's mansion in Baton Rouge last week, but indicated this did not mean he was openly favoring Ellender in his race for re-election against J. Bennett Johnston of Shreveport. "Whatever he (Ellender) does with that film would be up to him," Edwards said. The film spots were for use as television ads in the Ellender campaign. Edwards said the personnel in his administration would remain basically unchanged, despite ill feelings between major factions within the executive, branch, particularly between Commissioner of Administration Charles' Roemer and executive counsel Sheldon Beychok.
