Stack said he wanted to know who really paid for the trip, "the millionaire or the society." "In either event," he said. "I would question the propriety of a Congressman putting himself under obligation either to a pressure group attempting to influence the actions of the U.S. Government or the so-called 'millionaire Stack also criticized Burke's "public statements praising the dictatorial military government of Greece, when most observers were condemning the government-by-torture then prevailing in Greece." 00 Ph: 693-2711 Miami U98N.W.79 St.

Another round of auto insurance rate increases after the November general elections was predicted by State Rep. Gerald Lewis, candidate for state senator in District 43. He outlined a four-point legislative program to meet the continuing threat of increasing rates in a speech to the Northwest Jaycees. He urged: Repeal of the California Plan, which allows the companies to increase rates without approval of the state insurance department. An appointive, three-man insurance commission to remove the insurance depart- ment from the pressures and control of the industry.

Appointment of ased insurance committees in the House and Senate to eliminate industry control of legislation. Legislation to prevent insurance companies from engaging in "legislative blackmail" by threatening to withdraw auto insurance from the state if certain laws are enacted. Lewis said some industry spokesmen testified at legislative committee hearings that rates were still inadequate. He told the companies will continue to lie low and not increase rates until after Edward J. Stack demanded to know who paid for the trip to Greece taken by his Republican primary opponent, Congressman J.

He said in a campaign statement that he had found through 10 year's experience as a state Industrial Commission attorney that any attempt to speed up the required steps for a salary increase is thwarted by red tape. Kanzer said collective bargaining should be granted also to municipal and county employes.

He criticized Gov. Claude Kirk's veto of the collective bargaining bill in the last legislative session. "Something finally was going to be done to cure the tense situation of our state employes," Kanzer said. "I think that the bill should be introduced again and again until it is passed.

The former North Miami mayor said in a campaign speech, "To build bridges in stead of walls we must give all our children quality education instead of quantity education.

Stone, a state senator from Miami, said in a news release that "Mr. Tait has attacked my person, my ideals and my family for the past seven months without regard to fact or reason.

Stone said he already has said he would work for "a conduct code for students for respect for teachers, a management study for computerizing the Department of State so that people can get their monies' worth when dealing with it and carrying the Government in the Sunshine to all cabinet and interagency meetings." Tait, Stone said, "has remained silent in the area of cabinet proceedings." Dr. Arthur Cohen, a Democratic candidate in District 107, said today in a campaign statement he "will demand a full investigation of our telephone service getting worse while the rates go higher." He said the probe also should include a "long, hard look at the Florida Public Service Commission, which is supposed to regulate utilities."
