Florida Law Covers City Vote Drives Political campaigns for city offices are subject to the state corrupt practices act, Atty. Gen.

Richard Ervin held yesterday. In an opinion to the Pinellas county prosecuting attorney, James R. Dillard, he said that nothing in the law indicated that it was to apply only to state and county campaigns but exempt city races. The law prohibits a long list of specific acts by candidates. Dillard inquired about a part requiring clear indentification of the source of political literature.

He asked for the opinion after the town of Belleair Beach held its elections recently. Ervin noted that the city charter provided for city elections on state principals, except to any extent that there was a conflict with the city charter. But he added that he didn't think a city could deprive its citizens of the protection of the 50-year old corrupt practices act merely by omitting to follow the procedures outlined in the law.

The suit, brought by Mrs. Pat ricia Stevens Due, asked the court to overturn a contempt conviction by Circuit Judge Ben C. Willis following demonstrations at local movie theaters last Fall. Mrs. Due, who was fined 000 for allegedly leading the demonstrations and was subsequently suspended from Florida University, had filed the appeal in behalf of herself and an estimated 150 FSU and students.

FSU To Change ROTC Program The Faculty Senate at Florida State University has recommended making freshman and sophomore ROTC voluntary, instead of compulsory as at present, for men students at FSU. The Senate's action, which would become effective with the next freshman class, is a step toward reorganization of the ROTC programs in line with provisions in a bill now pending in Congress. FSU has Air Force-and Army ROTC programs, which include basic training (the first two years) and advanced training (the junior and senior years). Under the elective program, freshmen and sophomores could continue to enroll in basic ROTC programs, unless there is a revision in the national ROTC program. The new program suggested at the national level, termed the Officer Education Program, would eliminate basic ROTC during the freshman and sopho more years.

It would provide, however, a program at the jun ior and senior level into which junior college transfers would be admitted along with non- transfers. Junior college trans fers presently cannot partici pate in university ROTC programs. In recent months at least 14 universities, including the University of Illinois, have adopted elective ROTC programs. The University of Texas has had non compulsory ROTC pro grams for some time. Action of the FSU Faculty Senate is in line with Air Force sentiment, according to Col.

Preston B. Hardy, professor of air science and commander of Air Force ROTC at the Univer sity. The Department of the Army prefers a compulsory ar rangement, but recognizes it is up to the individual universities to determine the type of pro gram. outlined FSU's responsibility "to teach and to cultivate a larger understanding of world affairs particularly through the exchange of students and faculty, and through the encouragement of Peace Corps activities." Dr. Blackwell called attention to FSU's developing program of international exchange, noting that approximately 75 research associates, technicians and members of the faculty also come from other countries.

The University President said FSU has had a substantial program of cooperation with the Peace Corps and has sent graduates to work in its program. He said he was pleased to have a team of Peace Corps representatives coming to spend a week on the FSU campus. During International Student and Peace Corps Week, the lat-ter's representatives will be headquartered in the corridor leading to the Suwannee Room, and will administer interviews and examinations to prospective candidates. WASHINGTON (AP) Flor ida hasn't voted for a Democrat ic presidential candidate since Harry S. Truman was elected in 1948, yet the state's congres sional delegation is the first to pledge support of President Johnson's bid for election in No vember.

Johnson was presented Thurs day with a letter of endorsement signed by Florida two Democratic senators, Spessard Holland and George Smathers, and 10 Florida Democratic House members. The state has two Republican congressmen. The letter, read by Rep. Robert L. Sikes, said the congressional group "unanimously endorsed your nomination for President" at the Democratic National Convention scheduled for later this year.

The letter also stated the Florida delegation would "actively support your candidacy in every way possible" in the coming campaign. Peace Corps Recruiting Is Underway A program officer for the Peace Corps, David Weinman of Washington, met with Florida State University officials yesterday in preparation for a three day informational program on campus Monday through Thursday, Jan. 20 23. A Peace Corps information center will be set up in the Suwannee Dining Room area and will be manned from 8 a.m. to 9 p.

Minuteman Successful CAPE KENNEDY (AP) -A Minuteman missile Thursday night completed a flight designed primarily to check warhead performance. The Air Force reported the rocket hit a target in the South Atlantic Ocean.

It was launched from an underground pit at Cape Kennedy. Supt. Amos Godby previously said that he would not seek reelection. A native of Wakulla County, Ashmore is 55 years old, holds a BS degree from the University of Florida and an MA degree in Supervision and Administration from Florida State University. He has served nearly 24 years as principal of Leon County schools, including three years at Ft.

High Schools three years and Bascom Junior High, om STATE CHAIRMAN He has served as state chairman of the Florida Council on Elementary Schools, director of Florida Department of Elementary Principals, chairman of the Leon County Principals Department, the Leon County Legislative Committee and the Elementary Evaluation Committee, and director of the Leon County Ed-u a i Association and Y.M.C.A. He is a member of the Florida Education Association and various other education groups. He is a member of First Baptist Church, a Mason, a member of Eastern Star and past member of Kiwanis.

He is married to the former Mary Belle Ridgell of Gainesville. They have three sons, Capt. Byren W. Ashmore of the Air Force, stationed in Dover, Dale Ashmore who is supervisor of IBM records at FSU, and Michael, a senior at Leon High. In making his announcement of candidacy, Ashmore said that with 24 years experience in the Leon school system and w'th a background of teaching an'1 ad ministration at elementary and secondary levels, he felt quali fied in training and experience for the superintendency, "I believe that my -v'cdge of the Leon county school sys tem, at all levels, and my ac quaintance and respect for the school personnel this c'-'y makes me personally qualified for the office of superintend ent," he said.

"I am throughly familiar with the physical needs of the county school system, which led to the request for the $5 million bond issue, approved in November by the voters. I have worked with evaluation committees and sur vey teams which examined the schools and made the reports indicating these needs. I feel that prompt completion of the plants and improvements to be financed by the bond issue is an immediate obligation to the voters who have shouldered the tax responsibility for them. 'SCHOOLS MUST GROW' "Leon County is growing and its schools must grow too. There will be many changes in the years to come, and it is important that these changes be based on how they will best serve our children.

Our children need certain fundamental skills in order to become responsible and productive citizens and it is the task of the public schools to provide them with the best tools. "I believe that the school's job is teaching. Under our present administration we have developed a good school system and it is imperative that we continue to improve. Leon County should have a school system that would be a source of pride to all of us who live here. "As superintendent I would within the framework of constitutional limitations and bud get, consider it my obligation and privilege to lead the system toward greater academic eoals.

through improved facili ties, adeauate personnel, better procedures and techniques in teaching, a more comprehensive curriculum, adeauate financing of the whole school system and improvements in salary sched ules. "With the anticipated upward reappraisal of property values in Leon County, we should be able to improve in all these areas. Our schools must continue to improve and grow, to better serve the needs of our FUNDS INSUFFICIENT Levins said the county does not have sufficient funds in the secondary road fund to cover costs of repairing the damaged road. State road department engineers said pavement along the route was made soft and unstable when the roadbed froze following heavy rains and freezing temperatures experienced in the area during the past two weeks. No estimate of the cost of repairs has been made.

The road department said the road bed is still frozen and engineering crews are still conducting tests on many sections of the pavement. Tallahassee District Road Board member William Mayo said as long as the route remains a secondary road, the state cannot assume any cost of repairs. He said that if the road department agreed to accept the highway in its primary system the county would be relieved of its financial responsibility. Levins said he would initiate a resolution at the next meeting of the county commission asking the state to assume responsibility of Capital Circle. The state road department said that it had already accepted the truck route as satisfactorily completed by road contractors when the damage was discovered, therefore relieving the contractors of any responsibility for making repairs to the freeze damage.

Hour Mark Not To Show On Letters Beginning Feb. 1, the postmark on U.S. mail will not show an hour. Postmaster Peyton Yon said the plan, designed to save man hours, calls for only A.M. and P.M.

designation on the postmark. To keep up with time of day postmarks, the cancelling machine must now be stopped on the half hour and the new time substituted for the old time by manual removal and replacement with tweezers. For example, at 8 a.m., the figure 8 is removed and the figures 8:30 inserted. The postmark time is always established a half hour ahead. The A.M.

and P.M. designations are being retained because of midnight mailing deadlines on such things as insurance premiums and contests. 3 Cars Collide On Highway WAUKEENAH Three cars were involved in a rear-end collision just west of here yesterday.

S. Peacock said Florence Daisy Knapp, of South-gate, Calif, stopped suddenly on U.S. 27 to avoid an accident, and was struck from the rear by an auto driven by Thomas Glenn, 33, of Rt. 3, Monticello. William Jennings Sharpe, Rt.

2, Tallahassee, then ran his car into the rear of the Glenn vehicle, the trooper said. Both Sharpe and Glenn were charged with following too closely.
