By MILT SOSIN Reporter of The Miami Ifewt There was more election excitement today on 3rd Street, Miami Beach, between Alton Road and Michigan Avenue, than in all the rest of the county put together. Melvin J. Richard, candidate for county commissioner in District 5, making the rounds past the polling places, literally hit the roof when he passed in front of a house two doors away from South Beach Elementary School a polling place. He was riding in a tiny closed auto, and when he jerked his head in annoyance he couldn't help but bang it. The cause of this irritation was a couple of large signs extolling the virtues of Irving Hoffman, who also wants to represent District 5 on the County Commission.

Richard, with a practiced eye, noted that the offending signs were well within 300 feet of the school and thus in violation, in his opinion, of a state election law. PROTESTS TO POLICE CHIEF He hied himself in the same diminutive car to the police station three blocks distant and protested to Chief Michael Fox. Fox dispatched Sgt. Cal Schuler, who armed himself before leaving the station with a direct quotation of the law involved. This, Schuler recited to Mr.

and Mrs. Kalman Katzef, owners of the offending property at 1009 3rd who agreeably pulled the signs down. "Only don't put me in jail," Mrs. Katzef said pleasantly. "We put the signs up for a party last week and let them stay up." A good-sized crowd had gathered with the arrival of Sgt.

Schuler and soon everybody was offering suggestions and advice. IT BECOMES '3IOOT' QUESTION A lawyer in the Hoffman ranla dashed into the Katzef house just before the signs were ripped" down and sought to reach the city attorney for an opinion. one came, It was too late. The question had become wkai sawyers call "moot." Then, somebody else discovered electioneering signs on car bumpers parked in the block, and Sgt. Schuler delegated himself the task of ripping off the bumper signs.

Darby Rathman, who has been a candidate himself on occasion and knows the tribulations, put up the claim that Richard, a Miami Beach city councilman, was using high office to invoke the police action. Rathman is a publicity man for Hoffman. "Furthermore, said Rathman, who knows a good gag when he sees one, "why don't they go over to the saloons and take down those campaign signs for Jack Daniels and that Russian Smirnoff?" of the Florida Power Light Co. In neighboring Broward Coun ty, it was estimated that 17,000 He said Smith, a college classmate of Kefauver, was asked by the senator to contact Mack "with a view to providing some persons had cast ballots by noon. 1 Mrs.

He would, however, call back as soon as he could come up with a suitable quotation. Two hours later Warner had not called. Another call to him and he promised to call as soon as possible. He did not call back.

GONE FOR DAY At, NBC, President Robert Sarnoff had left for the day. Tom Ervin, NBC vice-president and general attorney for the network, had this to say: "I have no comment to make on the legal aspects of the situation and do not feel qualified to answer in any other capacity." Next in line came Syd Eiges, NBC vice-president in charge of press and publicity. "This is very tough to an-rwer," he said. "The fate of all quiz shows, and all TV shows for that matter, will be determined by the great American public. So far, as regards quiz shows, we have no schedule changes.
