This dark look into the future was plopped today in the lap of the new board of directors of Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce by John N.

Gibson, director of the Dade County Development Department. "About 65 per cent of our residents earn their living from tourism, directly or indirectly," Gibson said. "But tourism Is not Increasing fast enough to support eur population growth, which is expected to reach 1,000,000 by WTS. "That's fourfold increase over our 1950 population and we will not have jobs for these people unless new industry comes in to take up the slack." 'Profits, Taxes To Shrink9 Widespread joblessness will bring on chaotic business conditions with shrinking profits and taxes, the development director warned. "The Community must save itself from this disaster," Gibson said.

"No governmental agency can do it. It is up to the business men themselves to save themselves and the community." Gibson emphasized that he did not recommend seeking heavy industry for the area. He suggested light manufacturing, like electronics, regional offices of insurance companies, export and import houses to provide new employment and broaden the tax base. He also emphasized that tourism is increasing "at a good pace and that's fine for those directly in tourist business but it is not growing fast enough to carry the great job load of the future. New 'Pattern9 Is Needed "The only solution is to change our employment pattern.

New industry is essential to accomplish this. We must have it, with no ifs, ands or btits, or suffer community-wide stagnation." Gibson suggested to the chamber board that group of business leaders form a Metropolitaa Miami Economic Development Council "composed entirely of Indians, no chiefs, dedicated to community survival and progress." His remarks were taken from a report requested by Metro Manager O. W. CampbelL Chamber President Hugh Purvis asked Gibson to give the chamber highlights from the report. an legations.

The way Russia tells it, from the ancient Russian game of lapta.

The magazine "Little Light," a weekly pictorial, said lapta was carried to the United Slates and Canada by emigrants in the 18th and 19th centuries, where it became the forerunner of baseball. Lapta is played with a ball and bat and players on opposing sides. That is the principal similarity with base1 ball. The players line up on opposite sides of the field. One side hits the ball toward the other and the player tries to reach the other side and return before being touched out by the ball recovered by the opposing team.

SEPARATE STAFFS James L. Knight, president of the Knight Publishing said the news and editorial staffs of the two newspajiers would be entirely separate and "the hot competition that is the very essence of aggressive and enterprising news coverage" would be preserved. Although the newspaper will be produced in the Observer plant immediately, the news, editorial and circulation departments will continue at their present location for the present, according to officials cf the Knight organization. News and circulation department employes of the News were expected to be olfered positions under the new organization.

"Bogardus entered the store which was dark all except in the front and he was shot down right away," witnesses said. "One of the robbers ran up to Bogardus' body, grabbed his gun and then used it in the gun battle. He was killed while in the store and toppled over on a display of Canned goods. "His partner was killed as he tried to dash out the back door," Perrin said. The two ciwks In the store at the time of the robbery both escaped.

Police said one of the clerks was beaten by the robbers but was not seriously injured. "Right now, it's hard to say who has been minimizing the danger and who has been overstating it. There should be an unbiased program to get to the bottom of it." He Shid the interested parties hope to get to the committee stage within a month or so. SANE POLICY Dr. Meyers said his group hopes its work will benefit the Greater Miami Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, but that the scientific studies will be divorced from the committee.

Mrs. Katharine Palmer, chairman of the committee, which opposes nuclear testing, said the committee is most concerned with the problem of contamination of the milk supply.
