-fas- Second Front Kirk Asks Court To Rule Slowdown In Integration IK Tuesday, August 4, 1970 Ceia in Pictures Jl I I -fc cu i v. U.J i iff XVxx 4vplj I i 1 1 1 1 wt I II'. i II 1 ill I III I I W.

DOESN'T WANT TO GO HOME Kristina Hanzalova, 20, Miss Czechoslovakia of 1969, and a contestant in last month' Miss Universe pageant in Miami, was reported Monday to have asked for asylum in West Germany.

Miss Hanzalova was said by the West German office for refugees in Nuernberg to have had enough of Communist Czechoslovakia. (Pensacola Newi-AP Wirtpholo) Baialis Sees Tax Top Public Issue By BILL RINGLE WASHINGTON Florida Gov. Claude R. Kirk Jr. appeared at the U.S.

Supreme Court today in his third attempt to slow the rate of school integration in Florida. This time it was on behalf of the Pinellas County Board of Public Instruction. Puffing a long cigar, the uncharacteristically subdued governor filed the petition which asks Associate Justice Hugo L. Black, who is also circuit justice for the Fifth Circuit, to hold up a lower court's integration order until Pinellas County has a chance to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Affixed to the- governor's massive petition was President Nixon's March 24 message on school desegregation. The Fifth Circuit Court of peals's action last Wednesday ordering busing to achieve integration in St. Petersburg schools was contrary to the President's statement, the governor said. The governor said it is "an educational and financial impossibility" for Pinellas County to carry out the school integration plan in time for the Fall term. The Appeals Court order, which Kirk hopes to block, reversed an earlier order by U.S.

District Judge Joseph Lieb of Tampa. Kirk contends that Lieb found that schools in the St. Petersburg area were "de facto" segregated that is, they did not result from any official action, but from housing patterns in the inner city. Judge Lieb refused to order a major busing program to change the situation. The appeals court, Kirk charges, overreached its power because it did not merely correct errors in the lower court's findings, but substituted its own idea for a school integration plan.

I JSJl The names of seven candidates for governor of Florida will be on the Sept. 8 primary ballot.

Who are they? What is their backgrounds? And what does each see as the great issues of the campaign? Here is another in a series of articles on the men seeking Florida's top job: PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Republican gubernatorial candidate L. A. "Skip" Bafalis says he isn't interested in being labeled a "no new tax man" but he sees one of the burning issues of the 1970 campaign as a cry from the electorate against higher levies. "Please, please don't hit us with more taxes," is the plea from the voters, according to Bafalis, a self-styed conservative.

"People are sick of the government taking, taking, taking," says the Palm Beach insurance executive and state legislator. The question of money ranks high in the campaign platform of the Boston-born Bafalis. Other planks concern efficiency in government, pollution control and reshaping the state educational system. Before launching his drive for the state's highest office, the 40-year-old Bafalis was known as president of the First American Insurance a legislator concerned with laws to control drug abuse and as a political ally of Gov. Claude Kirk, now one of his foes in the Republican primary.

In the 1967 Legislature, Bafalis was floor leader for Kirk. Since that session, however, Bafalis has held no party post and has become a vocal critic of Kirk. He broke with the governor shortly before Kirk named Ray Osborne to the new post of lieutenant governor. Kirk, says Bafalis, is "the man I must beat" to gain the nomination. 0of0 tfm -v inwr iwr.g m-- ii Corpus Christi buildings show damage from Celia.

L. A. BAFALIS governor candidate Bafalis sees the other Republican contender, drug store king Jack Eckerd, as a candidate who "can't buy his way to the nomination even if he spends $10 million." Running with Bafalis Is Tampa rancher Ward Daugherty. Major points developed so far in Bafalis' campaign: Florida's public school system needs reshaping to provide a curriculum choice for pupils based on career goals. "I believe in total integration, but do not think any child should be forced to attend a certain school because he is black or white." A rapid transit system should be developed; the Department of Transportation needs reorganizing.

"Ad valorem taxes are already sharing too much of the governmental burden. I would not go for a state income tax-personal or corporate but if the need arose, would be willing to lift the sales tax." Bafalis and his wife, the former Mary Elizabeth Lund of Lawton, have two children. Mrs. Bafalis has been active her husband's campaign, "1 love it," she says, "but I'll admit my hands are getting hard from the handshaking." S.
