Ed-mond Gong of Miami.

Gong, one of the (our persons in a new federal court suit challenging Florida's congressional plan, said the resolution lo consider the matter during the current special session probably will be introduced in the Senate Friday. "I'm asking the court to drop the bomb on us now, while we are in session," he said. This, the former House member said, would allow the legislature to re-draw the congressional district lines before taek-1 i legislative reapportionment. The current legislative formula, based generally upon congressional district lines, was knocked down Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Smith, the blunt, abrasive "Howlin' Mad" Marine whose massive amphibious assaults wrested control of the Central Pacific from the Japanese in World War II, died Thursday.

He was 84. The man known as the father of amphibious warfare suffered a heart attack last November and had been in critical condition since Dec. '3 at Balboa Naval Hospital. He lapsed into unconsciousness Wednesday. Smith, who claimed "Sentimental Southerner" was a better nickname than "Howlin1 Mad," had lived in nearby La Jolla since retiring in 1948.

In retirement he devoted his time to gardening, civic affairs and recreation. During the campaign in the Pacific, he became an almost legendary figure while leading American forces to victory in the Gilberts, Marshalls, Marianas and I wo Jima campaigns. His success in storming ashore against entrenched Japanese, and blasting them almost one by one out of their bunkers, took a heavy toll of lives. Smith once said, "No way has ever been found to make war safe and easy."

Marine patrol clashed with a Vict Cong force and suffered moderate casualties Thursday in the first solid encounter of a week-old drive in the Mekong delta, the U.S. Command said Friday. The squad of 12 to 20 men battled a Communist force of unknown strength 63 miles south of Saigon. While the engagement was a relatively small one, it was the first real fighting for the Marines since they mounted the large-scale amphibious landing and helicopter assault on the Thanh Phu Peninsula last Friday. All previous contacts in the Marine sweep through the peninsula's mangrove swamps consisted only of sporadic sniper fire.

In the Thursday clash, the Marines were supported by gun-ship helicopters and artillery barrages. Viet Cong casualties were not known, U.S. spokesmen said. In the other major U.S. operation currently under way, American infantry continued to uncover Vict Cong bunkers and tunnels in the jungled "Iron (CONTINUED ON PAGE JA) By RILL TAYLOR Journal Staff Writer (RELATED STORY PAGE 11C) Solons Refute Baker fund Aid Journal Guide By MAC HARRIS Journal Staff Writer Pensacola City Council, stung by a Grand Jury's report concerning an open cesspool at Woodham High School, Thursday demanded that City Manager William H.

NOW YOU might be saying who cares what this guy looks like? Well, I'll tell you who, I care what this guy looks like. The group conversation had worried me to distraction. So it was with a great deal of interest then that 1 listened to the wonderful words on how to get inches off my waistline. This method is not for cowards.

It is no easy candy-type diet. There are no bar-bells to push. You don't count calorics. What you do is to shrink our stomach. Know how lo shrink your stomach? Drink apple vinegar.

NOW THESE are the words of a man who has had many a drink in his lime, both soft and hard, but never has anything like apple vinegar passed over these lips. "You take two tablespoons of apple vinegar, mixed with water, twice a day," was the advice given me. "Do it regularly for three or four weeks. I Know a man who took the vinegar for only a month and a half and lost six inches off the waist." I don't want six inches off. I want four.

Thirty-six size trousers are too large and 34's too small. I want to come in at about 32 around the hips and tip the scales at 160. On a six-foot frame this should slack up nicely. Then, if the vinegar hasn't killed me, you know what I'm going to do? I'M GOING to get me a new picture made. Then wVn we are sitting around and if the best bit of conversation anyone can come up with is how the newswritcrs look, I'll be in business.

That is, I'll be in business until someone tells the truth, and swys, "You look just like your picture in the paper. And my God, that's pretty awful."
